' The Batteries used in radio are
inf two general kinds: storage bat-
‘teries and dry batteries. “6 will

ikinds and how they d.ffer. both in
{construction and in utility But
iflrst it is necessary to seeujust why
a battery has to be used in a set

“'o discussed recently what an
amplifier is. It is a device that

it stronger so tha‘t it can be heard
speaker. . ~
It is the use of an amplifier that
makes a battery necessary. Ampli.
fl’catlon requires energy. The brit-
tery supplies this energy. _
A simple crystal set has no ampli-
fication. It depends upon the energy
contained in the original signal.
That is why a crystal set will not
pick up-anythlng except the sta-
tions that are close at hand.
. And. since it does no amplifying,
the crystal set needs no battery.
_ In I tube set there have to be two
.kinds of batteries: the A battery

WHEN YOU BAKE LOAF CAKE
When you bake loaf cake. line the
pan with waxed paper. But grease
the pan under the paper. and rub a
little grease—whatever kind you use
for the purpose—over the waxed
paper. The results will be much
better than if you put the paper
directly next the pan. or the cake
.directly on the paper. So much
‘baklng is necessary for a loaf cake
that any helps to keep it from burn-
ing are worth taking.’

Milliners Vie With Dressmakers in
Using Wide and Name: Ribbons-
HEN is a ribbon not a ribbon
w and when is it a length cf
satin. taffeta. ribbei or other
sort of silk? That is a question
thet' might occur to any one 0‘ on
inquiring natu'te when beholdlng
some of the new and gorgeous. wide
ribbons. The old ‘letlrution was that
a ribbon remalnql a ribbon so long
as it did not ex--eed nine .nches.
Now ribbons are made even wide:
than that. -
Ribbons like laces are of the “’est.
and comparatively speaking f mod-
ern or.gin.v When we trim our
frocks with laces and riblnns we
can no longer claim to as classical
or Oriental. They smack of the
fashions of the days of Gainsbor-
ough. of Romney. arenas. and Frag-
onard. of La Pompadour and Mule
Antoinette—the European fashions
of the past two or three centuries—
more than of Cleopatra or the mode
of ancient Egypt or far Cathay. So
if you are one of those w‘nJ lament
the strong influence of Oriental and
classical modes within the past few
years and wduld rather tee a re-
vival of the numerous .ntereatlng
fashions of Western Europe wi:hin
more modern times. you have tea-
son to rejoice.
For ribbons are very much in cvi~
deuce at the present time. They
are used, as of yore. to tie adieu-em
parts of ladies' frocks. to mind the
edges. and for purely ornamental
purposes. Loops and rosettes are
again in evidence.
Black velvet ribbon in the wider
numbers‘ has been used on several
smart frocks for hp bows. On one
dance frock wide black velvet forms
a double loop at the hips with an-
other loop hanging down slightly
below the edge of the skirt.
The taste for metal has extended
even to the making of ribbon. The
sketch shows a flat rosette of red;
ribbon faced with gold as used to}
trim the front of a red gown. The?
figure displays a frock of beige clothi
with a simple bow of matching!
shade at the left front. You may;
also see the manner in which one
dressmaker attaches a lengh of
black velvet ribbon. faced with
white. to the shoulder of a frock.
fixing it with a small rose. AndI
below is a scarf edged with five
rosettes of ribbon.

the lips. b‘acken the brown. and tint‘

“SHOU‘LD a woman make up
mannered impertinence. about which.
it is hard to be tolerant." ‘
But that most women do at least'
powder their noses swiftly and LnOS-'
tentatiously in public—and problbly
more than that—is apparent from
the high regard in which vanities.
are held. The woman who does not
carry some such contraption is a
rare bird indeed these days. And
most women possess quite a number.
-——some that are appropriate only for
the evening. other: for formal after-:
noon. another to go until tailored
street‘ costume. and this one for
sports. Some women with a de-
cidedly limited dress budget still
feel that sevcrul vanity cascs are
essential. while other women who'
never have to think of money save
how to spend it. find one vanitv
quite sufficient. .
Some women are best satisfied}
with merely a flat powder box to be
held in the purse or slipped intd ai
icompartments for powder.
Ribbon trimmings; a flat rose“:
of loops of red and gold ribbon that
trims a red frock, long end of double-
Iaoed ribbon that ran. from rose ow
shoulder of evening gown. and bola:

some shade, with bow of ribbon at
front of bodice. -
pocket. These may be chosen to
match the color of the frock. Black
and white effects are very good
whether this gained by onyx and
diamonds or y black enamel and
rhinestones. One small vanity with
a convenient wrist strap is of black
moire with pearl and rhinestone
ornament. and another more ex~
pensive one is of onyx. lads and
diamonds.
A French novelty consists of an
evening vanity case of hrilliants and
steel beads to match a bandeau of
the same materials. and for a rainy
day there is an umbrella with a
tortoise—shell handle which contains
lipstick
and rouge.
