TO RECEIVE WYCB Wort Wood tas been ws and enterlaliment OM (he 1,450-metre wave length radio fang have been (rying to Mud some way of getting this programme without tustall- ing new uppuratus or going to any Great expense. The average receiving instrument is manufactured with @ Bexicoum range of 1,000 metres. ‘This range is quite sufiicient for all broad- casting done by the commercial stations at 360 metres, but the antenna and primary of the receiving transformer does not possess sufticient inductance for the correct tuning of the long metre iengths. To receive the concerts that from time to time are broadcasted on a wave @qi02E" In excess of the 1,000 metres, for Which the instrument 1s constructed, connect a loading inductance In series with your tecelving transformer (tuning device). ‘This instrument, the loading inductance, is merely a singte slide tun- ing coil. ‘There are several different typeghon the market which can be bought for about $5.00. There is one very compuct little in- strument which can be bought for $4.00 which {s four Inches by two inches by one and one-half inches, which will give an additional range of 2,600 metres, The coil is tapped at seven points, each point representing approximately 550 metres, b: A honeycomb coll in series with the antenna will also give good results. With this addition W ¥ C B or any other station broadcasting within the 3,500 metre wave length can be en- Joyed. THIS WEEK. This week will go down in the annals of radio history as the turning point of the wireless game. Heretofore the do- ings were watched by a few interested amateurs and, naturally, all of the pro- fessionals, but this year they will repre- sent only a small minority. The general public has at last taken an interest in the whys and wherefores of radio and Preparations are being made to accomo- date hundreds of thousands at the Sec- ond Annual Amateur Radio Show and mention of the Second District, hich opens on Tuesday, to-morrow, at the Hotel Pennsylvania. In addition to this show, which is ex- pected to be a record-breaker, this week offers another attraction and novelty, the first Radiophone Ball. This bail ts to be given at Terrace Garden on the night gf March 10. The dance music will be broadcasted from W J Z, tn Newark, and thousands will dance to It in New York, Special apparatus with power amplifiers and many loud speak- ers are being installed by the American Electro Technical Appliance Company of New York. Many of the artists who have been heard on the radiophone will be present both at the convention and the ball. As a fitting climax to this week a radio banquet will be held on Saturday night. Let us hope that the food is not served by wireless, but if it Is it will not be a surprise, from all that we hear about the wonders that are to be dis- played at the convention. WARNING.

Prince Leaves Hali- fax to Investigate Strange Antics in Farm House. HALIFAX, N. 8., March 6.—Dr. Walter F. Prince, eminent New York scientist and an officer of the Amert can Institute of Scientific Researci), left here early to-day for Caledonia Mills, bent on solving the Antagonish “ghost? mystery. ‘The scene of the mystery is a smali farmhouse, a mile ana a half from its neurest neighbor. Three persons lived in this farm- house: Alex McDonald, who ts sev- enty, his wife, and an adopted daugh- ter, Mary Ellen, fifteen. The Me- Donalds are honest, unpretentious, God-fearing people, simple and un- imaginative, Six years ugo McDonald entered his barn one morning to find that his horses and cows had been changed from one stall to another, and that the horses’ manes and tails had be braided. Naturally enough, McDon- uld wus astonished, but when the performance was not repeated, laid {t to some prunk or practical joke Last spring it happene On the morning of Jan. 6 Donald, coming downstairs to Nght the kitchen fire, was surprised to find cinders on the top of the stove. Look- ing up, he saw where a fire had been burning on the bare ceiling. A few moments luter he saw a blaze in the upholstering of a chair standing nine feet away from the stove. He threw it out into the snow and when he had re-entered u couch was ablaze on the opposite side of the kitchen. The couch followed the chair out into the snow, where the fires were extin- guished. Late Tuesday afternoon MacDon ald went to ths stable to attend his stock for the night. It was raining heavily and the temperature had risen considerably. Mrs. MacDonald noticed a fire in the dining room on the wallpaper. She put it out with water and Mary Ellen ran for her foster father, Within a few minutes they discovered another fire in the same room, and the oards over the kitchen again broke into flames. Those on fire we thrown out into the snow, and {t ip stated by Mrs, MacDonald that there were bits of cotton adhering to them, although they had been carefully swept the Sunday previous. Most of the fires were in odd places, behind pictures, on the bare wallpa- per, in cushions, A dishcloth that had been lying in a pool of water fumed up. A plece of paper caught fire on the bare kitchen table. Copyright, 1 OW is the time for N the woman who must dress on a limited income to go shopping. Some of the most exquisite fabrics are offered on the rem- nant counters for half of their original cost, putting within her grasp the opportunity for clothes which she has wished for all win- ter. Iam speaking, of course, of the umbl- tious, fastidious woman, who appreciates elegant clothes enough to muke them, if she cannot af- ford to have them made, And for her I have de- signed the frock shown to-day, which might suggest any num ber of various combin: tions of color and fab- rie, If a woman finds a length of beaded black Georgette, for in- tunce, she mixht cut it in half lengthwise and use it for the sides of the frock, while green Georgette or bright blue or brick red chiffon could be employed for a foundation. On the foundation, black luce with perhaps a few beads sewn on it, might be laid in back and front us pictured here. Or another interpre- tation might be in the form of figured chiffon with perhups a few tin- sel threads introduced. The foundation might be brown with tan fig- ures and gold threads, or it could be tan chif- fon with gold luct a Plied to the under de instead of on top, which would, subdue It, charm- ingly.
