THE RADlO PRIMER
ONE DAILY FACT FOR
LISTENERS.
Distortion in Loudspeakers
is a trouble that must be reck~
cued with by an radio fan who
wants to get perfect reproduc-
lieu of the program that the
'. broadcasting station is sending
out. It probably is not the
commonest or the most serious
cause of a distorted reception
of the program. but it does u
send deal of harm. csp’eciully
in the reception of the music
of an orchestra.
The distortion is introduced
in two places. One is in the
electrical part of the apparatus.
, Man.v of the cheaper loud-
: speakers now on the American
market will not reproduco wall
the higher frequencies. which
means the higher tones of the
; orbcustra. The electrical unit
of the loudspeakr’r will not let a
them through. Others drop out
. the lower tones. making the
. music harsh and “tinny". Many
*«peakers fail to let through
either the high tones or the
'ow ones, leafing only the
niddle tones to be'heard. .
‘Another cause of distortion
is the resonance of the horn.
By resonance we mean the
strengthening of some of the
tones by rexerberation. “‘ith
the majority of loudspeaker
horns this happens chiefly with
the low—pitched notes. Accord-
ingh' there will be a, sort or
rumble in the horn._
Sometimes this is really
beneficial. Many kinds of
audio - frequency amplifiers
weaken these lower notes con-
siderably. It, then. there is
. some reverberation of them in
= the horn, that will tend to re—
store the music somewhat to
what it ought to be. One form
of distortion correct, in part,

Women‘s Fashions. i

HEN the history of costumoj
of the early twentieth cen-*
tury is written there may,
be a paragraph or so dealing with
the influence on women's dress:
and fashion of the Olympic Games?
of the year 1924. when they were‘.
held in France. and when it was
as much a fashionable “stunt" to
so to the games as it was to so
to the races.
Observers in Paris last uutumni
—at least the really observant ob-'
aervers-—felt that there was a dis-l
tinct and definite sheet as a result :-
o! the games. Women athletesi
from all over the world. most 01‘
them with only the most casual
and incidential interest in fash-
ions, became without really realiz-
ing it themselves the object of
much and deep interest on thel.
part of designers and others who!
have a finger in the pie of‘
Fashion. These women athletes.
were extremely significant—theyé
gave an idea or what clothes might ;
be—but a more important idea“
of what clothes for the women of!
the nineteenth century might not?
be. An emphatic negative was;
given to those who had somehow;
hoped for a revival of snugly laced '
waists, and picturesque blllowyl
pettlcoats.
So the trend of fashion contin-
ued on its way—women‘s frocks.
remained straight and skimpy—l
and skirts became shorter and?
waist lines faded even further into?
the limbo of fashionable nothing-j
ness. ‘
The problem of designer and,
dressmaker obviously is—to make.
these frocks that are perfectly
comfortable. perfectly in kcvpius

Recently an English writer
pointed out that while English
women dress more appropriately

French woman dresses much more
appropriately for the city than
does an English woman. The
English woman dolls up for a

being “‘illiam Dexter, who assisted
her from the car. got a taxi for her,
inquired her address. gave it to the
calamari, and sent her home.
The next day he thought it only
proper to call and inquire how she
was: and thus the acquaintance be-
gan. As William was a young man
of wealth and social standing, Anne's
lovin; parent! looked upon him with
favor and sighed deeply as they re-
gretted their precipitancy in bring-

between their daughter nd John

as William. But there was the en-

held lengthy consultations as to the
possibility of the engagement being‘
broken off without talk and ocandal.i

THE PROOF OF THE SOUP
noted for their soups. In
fact there are almost no dis-
tinctirc American soups—unless
you might call clam chowder a.
soup. Apparently your American
gourmet is not of the sort whose
enthusiasm may be raised by a
mere soup. He wants something
solider. more substantial. Per-
haps that is why soups in this
country are often so poor. why so
many housewives give up soup
making entirely and solve the soup
course with a can opener.
.Unless you have a large food
allowance and do not care whether
your market and grocery bills are
little or big, then you should try
to make your soups practically
out of nothing. That is you should
try to get in the habit of using by
products of other courses. and left
overs. Very few vegetables need
be bought especially for soups.
There is always enough waste
from a bunch of celery for cream
of-celery soup. Little “smidges”
of left~over vegetables may be
used in making vegetable soup.
Bones from beef steals. leg of
lamb, chicken. etc.. may be made
use at for meat stock. or it special
soup meat is bought. the meat
after the stock has been boiled
from it may be 3113qu or chopped
and attractively seasoned and
fluttered and made into altos: or
croquotuo—so that you need not
charge the price of the soup most
to the soup.
