SHORT
STORY
When
N Saturday afternoons they
went about looking at small
inexpensive apartments and
until Joan became used to it she felt
acute embarrassment. some of the
Janitors Ind agents undoubtedly
thought they were married——end to
have any one even slippose that she
and Andrew were really married
seemed a little shocking. If they
didn‘t think they were married per-
” they thought they oughtn't to
be going through apartments to-
gether in this way—end that made
Joan even more embarrassed.
. "You silly child." assured Andrew
as they walked along down a side
street in sear-oh of an apartment
they had seen advertised. “There
is nothing the least bit shocking
about what we're doing."
“0th your going to live there be-
fore we are married." said Joan
with embarrassment. “That might
seem funny."
. “We “don't have to tell every
. agent our plans." Andrew assured
her. "And when we have definitely
settled on the apartment we can
explain matters and there won‘t be
anything surprising about it."
It was late winter and Andrew
and Jan did not intend to be mar-
ried until the following autumn.

:they ought to select their apart-

wider-selection than in the autumn.

By way of answer Andrew pressed
Joan’s warm little hand. "There
aren't many girls like you. Joan." he
said. "You don't seem to care shit
about money."
I"! don‘t.” said loan with interest.

see that little kitchen. after you've
painted the walls yellow and I've
made the blue and white curtains
for the windows."
Soon after that Andrew signed a
year's lease for the little apartment.
and having sent on a couch, a bed.
a bureau, a kitchen table and a few
cooking utensils, started in keeping
bachelor‘s hall ' by himself. The
weeks passed slowly enough through
the long summer, and the first
glorious days of autumn. There
ware days when he did not see Joan
oven for a minute, days even when
he did not have time to write to her
or to telephone to her. but Joan
bottled lip her disappointment. con-
vincing herself that Andrew really
loved her Just the same. And all
the time she was making. pretty
things for the humble little apart-
ment—curtains for the windows.
and all the conventional list of
household linens.
But as the time approached for
the wedding clearly something was
worrying Andrew. Then one day
Joan asked him if he would meet
her at the apartment She hadn't
intended going there at all. but she
wanted to send some furniture and
she wanted to plan with him where
everything should he placed. Then
somehow Andrew was urged to die-
close the cause of his anxiety.
"I don't know how you'll take it.
Joan." he told her standing there in
the little kitchen. "But I can‘t keep
it from you. You see things took
an unexpected' turn at the plant’.
For a year or so I've been working
out a process. I contrived a little
appliance. and made some changes
in the method and—well. it's turned
out better than I dreamed. In fact.
it's going to save the company a
great deal of money every year. Of
course. I have no patent on the ap-
pliance. It was all part of the day‘s
work. But they're doing the right
thing. I've been made one of the
directors of the concern and they've
given me a ten thousand dollar
bonus. and in place of my regular
fifty a week I'm going to get twelve
thousand a year."
Andrew told this as if he were
confessing some misdeed. "It would
all have been fine." he said. "only I
know'hmv you feel about money. I
know you want to start here in two
rooms. eating in the kitchen. It's
been part of your dream. It's funny.
though—having the money come my
way when I really don‘t need it or
even want it." '
"But Andrew." she cried. “we
could build our own house—and
sublet this and—and I've always
dreamed of having a house with a
sun parlor. and built-in cupboards
in the dining-room. and a shower
bath and a cedar closet in the attic
and—and—"
"Then you're glad." gasped An-
drew with relief.
"Why. of course. you old sweet-
heart. i‘lf course I'd marry you if
you didn't have a penny. but I‘ve
always longed for a little luxury."

THE
troversy as to whether the
operation of super-power broad-
casting et‘ations will tend to create
a monopoly of the air. there is one
vital ed’ect which seems sure to
come from increased broadcasting
power. That is in the design and
construction of receivers.
To make extremely small obJects
visible. to our eyes, we use magnify-
ing glasses or powerful microscopes.
In the some manner. to make audi-
hla the extremely faint signals sent
out by broadcasting stations. we
have developed the sensitive and
complicated receiving instruments
that we use today. It is Just be-
cause the bite of energy that we
pick out of the other are so ex-
tremely small that our receiving sets
necessarily must be very complicated
ENTIREL! aside from the con-
.to detect. them.
Obviously. if the power of trans-
mitted signals is increased. our
“redo magnifying glasses” will need
to be Just that much less intricate
and powerful
The trend of broadcasting today,
eh evidenced in the recent National
Radio Conference. and- in the state—
ments of Secretary Hoover. is clearly
toward super-power. And this logic-
ally means a tendency away from
super-receivers toward simpler
forms of sets. Indeed. it is not dif-
ficult to conceive of the simple crys-
tal set finally coming into its own.

dyne on the throne of popularity.

Of course. a vital drawback to the

tivity. Even granting it long range
reception of high~power signals. you
still would have difficulty-tuning out
interfering stations. Here is a fine
opportunity for the radio experi-
menter. ,
THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Fact For Listeners
The Variometer is a device for
altering the amount of inductance
that there is in a. radio circuit. In-
ductance. you remember. is one of
the two oharacterlstlbs of a circuit
that you can alter when you want
to change the tuning of a circuit in
order to tune a desired signal in or
to tune an unwanted signal out The
other characteristic le capacity.
Inductance is usually inserted in
radio circuits by means of coils. The
more wire in the coil and the closer
the turns of wire are together. the
more inductance (in general) will be
introduced into the circuit.
The variometor is really a coil of
wire roads in two parte. One of the
parts is wound one rotating coil.
the other on a stationary coil. The
rotating coil. called the "rotor." re-
volves inside the stationary coll.
called the "stator." All this is Just
the same as in the variovcoupler
which we described in a recent in-
stalment of tho Primer.
The variometer differs from the .
vario-coupler in that the two coils
of the latter are not connected
metalllcly to each other. They are
merely coupled together through the
ether. In the varlorneter the two
cells are connected in the manner
called "in series“: that is. the end 'of
one coil is connected to the b'egin-
nlng of the other. Both coils are‘ a
part of the same circuit. the current
passing through them in succession.
As the inner coil. or rotor. is re-
volved inside the outer stationary
one. the inductance of the whole
combination changes. Thus. by
changing the position of the rotating ‘ _
soil. the inductance in the circuit h
