Some time ago, you remember. 1 suggested that you might keep watch for station WJAZ. the re— markably complete portable station that travels from place to place on a motor truck "somewhere in Illi- nois." ‘ Well. it now_ develops that this wanderer is looking for a. place to settle. All it asks is a. friendly com- munity and one that offers a favor- able location for broadcasting. Most every station I have heard of simply picks a location and establishes itself there regardless of transmitting conditions. And often it turns out that the location is a poor one for sending out radio ' waves. WJAZ. however. is particular. It wants conditions to be ideal. So officials of the company that op. crates it. have introduced the idea of sending out test programs from various places to determine which place is-the best. When the right spot‘ is found. WJAZ will be un- loaded from its motor truck and will abandon its life of wandering. ._——— CAN you imagine a broadcasting The latest hit of the ballroom is called the Radio Dance. It was in- troduced at the recent convention of the American Association of Mes- ters“ of Dancing in Chicago. One reason why it is called the "Radio" is that its steps follow a zig-zag pattern down the floor—like the common emblem for electricity. Another reason is that it can be danced on about 51:: square feet of floor space—just about the amount available in a small home where the folks like to dance to radio music in the evening. - ' In France everybody seems to be trying to see who can build the smallest set.

In tho rimer recently we de- scribed oie of these devices. the Loose C01 pier. which consists of two concentric coils of wire. the inner oneiof which can be moved lengthwise. so as to be more or less within the outer cell. In the vario- coupler thi re are also two coils, but these are to mounted that the inner one can be rotated about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the coil. To see why this alters the coupl- ing betwet "the coils we have to remember that the electromagnetic field around s. coil of wire is much more intense along the axis of the coil and in the direction parallel to this axis ti an it is in the directions at right angles to this. variocouplir (sometimes called the "rotor" because it rotates) is placed in the position in which its axis is parallel to he axis of the stationary coil. then ihe coils have the maxi- mum induitive effect on each other and the val iocoupler gives the max- imum coupling of which it is capa- ble. 0n the 0 her hand. when the axis of the ions coil is placed crossways of the outer coil. then the inductive effect and i he coupling is at a min- imum. By rotating the inner coil between ti on two positions the looseness or closeness of the coupl- ing can be varied between these llmlfl.

T wields extraordinary power today. since it is both the talismanio and natal stone. Under these circumstances it becomes almost a part of it‘s wearer and exercises extraordinary influence upon him. . According to the ancients. the life of the stone is bound up with the life of the wearer; it sparkles when he is gay; sends forth red gleams when he is angry. and loses its radiation when he is sorrowful. Since the ruby is the gem of success and the symbol of wealth, it is be- lieved to bring those gifts to one who cherishes it. - All shades of red are fortunate on this day. They indicate strength. vitality and the fulfillment of am- bition. The red tulip is today's fortunate flower. WHERE lT STARTED PALL-BEARERS The custom of having distin' guished men as pail-bearers comes from the Romans. In the Latin. “pallium” was a piece of cloth used to cover the shoulders; when a great man died his “palliuni” was laid over the body and held on: the Kground by his friends, or nobles who wished to do him poathumous honor. - *— RASP'BERRY JAM SHORTCAKE One layer biscuit crust, butter. two packages cream cheese. one cup raspberry Jam. , Split biscuit. butter. fill with cream cheese and Jain.

It came from soap. or ships. or aipbona. or sealing-wax. or some- thing like that. and from exceeding small beginnings. He proposed that his son, Clarence. should carry on the business after him and make more money. Clarence must marry a rich wife. of course. He guaaaed that. with his money. his son could marry any girl he wanted to; and he issued an order for his heir to go forth and secure for himself an heiress of the first rank in Brad- stroot‘s. It was. therefore. a great shock to Peter when he found that his son hld fallen in love with Ethol Craw- ford: for old man Crawford was far. for from wealthy as Peter considered wealth. He had a modest compe- tence of a couple of hundred thou- sand dollars or some such matter: but, by the great horn spoonl' Peter had just donated that amount to a. "Home for Indigent Pullman Car Porters" as an advertising preposi- tion. His ‘attempts to reason with his son were fruitless. Clarence did not seem to have any common sense at all. Peter saw how it wu. Clar- ence had been inveiglod. Old man Crawford was after his money. He would see Crawford and give him a piece of his mind. The Crawfords belonged to a p,- culiar cotorie. the very existence of which is hardly known to the gen- eral public. Its members are spread over the Atlantic coast States from Maine to Florida. and are connected by marriages which have been going on since long before the foundations of the Republic were laid. They talk of their "Family" as confidently as do the "County Families" of Eng- land. Now and then. of course. one of them marries outside the charmed circle—which is helpful to those who remain within it because of the legacies which eventually trickle back and help relieve the necessities of the Ancient Regime. But those who do so marry are always regard- ed as having made a misalliance. no matter how many millions they marry into. James Farrington Crawford had a modest. but exceedingly "correct." office in an exceedingly "correct" of- tlce building. 0n Mr. Crawford‘s upper lip was a white moustache and on his large. nquiline nose a pair of gold-rimmed glasses of the r-ince-nez variety. attached to broad black ribbon. Into this august pres- ence came florid, rotund. imperious Peter li‘urnanion. - "Crawford." said he plumbing him- self down in a chair. "l have come to see you about my son and your daughter. My name's li‘nrnsman. You know who I am and all about me. This match won‘t do." "Mr. Fnriismnn." replied Crawford, "1 am exceedingly glad you have done me the honor of calling. 1 was about to communicate with you by —er—-letter. You are. I am informed. a person who has been very suc- cessful in trade in spite of—er—early die-advantages. Highly creditable to you. I am sure. There is nothing that so emphasises to the present generation the wisdom of our an- cestors in formulating the political system under which we are privi- leged to live. as these concrete ex- amples of what may be accomplished by members of the lower orders who earnestly seek to improve the oppor- tunities afforded them." Mr. Crawford was quoting from a speech recently delivered by him before the Society of the Cincinnati. of which he was rather proud. "But. as you say." he went on. “and as l pointedout to my daughter when she's informed me of her intentions. IN his piratieal cruise through life a marriage um her and your son is out of the question. It. would not do at all." . This we. not quite whit Peter had expected and there was a. certain quiet. well-bred inaolenco about Crawford which puuled him more than it angered him. beside- making him feel a trifle uncomfortable. Be— fore he was aware of what he was saying he blurted out. the question inspired by a. curiosity as to the cause of Mr. Crawford‘s attitude: "Why wouldn’t it?" "Oh. dear me." said Crawford. “1 had hoped you understood. I should be loath to give pain to any worthy person; but you must see that a daughter of the Crawford family is ~er—obligatoa to chose a husband from the—er—clau into which she has been born. In spite of the feet- that warm weather is approaching I have sent my daughter to Vilit some of our relatives in Ocala, Florida. and I trust that you and I. my dear sir. will suffer no further annoyance from this foolish little affair of our children." "Yes; 'tie going to be warm pretty soon." said Peter rising. “Good day." Peter might have said. in fact had come prepared to say; but he was a shrewd old fellow—if he hadn’t been he would not have made all those millions. “Family not gobd enough, hey?" he mused as he went away. "The lower orders! The poverty '- stricken old poll-parrotl We’ll see." . ' “Clarence." said be when he reached home. "do you still want to marry that Crawford gal?" “I most certainly do." replied Clar- ence. "Well," said the old man, "she's down at Ocaia. Florida. Go down there and marry her if you want to. Here's a check for your expenses." All the Crawford clan were shocked at the misalllance. The bride was always spoken of there- after by the members of the Ancient Regime as "Poor Etho." But they sometimes appeared at her dinner table and spoke quite distinctly to two or three of her guests. How Do You Say it? Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them. By 6.... LURIE "AMATEUR" AND unovrce" HESE two words are often con. T fused. especially by writers on sporting topics—who, by the way. are frequently guilty of gram- matical errors. However. the words "amateur" and "novice” are used incorrectly by other writers and speakers than those who devote time to matters of sport. The meanings of the two words are quite distinct. An amateur is one who follows a line of activity—- in sport, science. art. etc—as a diversion. or perhaps as his occupa- tion. but does not do so‘ profession- ally. or for gain. A novice, on the other hand. is a beginner. one who is new or inexperienced in any art or business. He may be either an amateur or a. professional follower of the art or business. Thus. a pro- fessional actor who is new and un- skilled in his art is a. novice. but not an amateur. 0n the other hand. there are amateur actors. painters. writers. sportsmen. etc.. who excel many professionals in experience and skill.

THERE is a. deep V neck line that you may have seen on some of the newest frocks. It hadita origin. to be sure. in Paris. and sometimes over here it is called the Paris V. The important thing about 'it is that the top of the V begins quite close to the neck while the tip of the V ex- tends well down on the bodice. so that the width of the opening is at no time at all wide. If you mull wear an open neck line this autumn then this is the one you should choose if you want to fol~ low the latest fashion. for the . wide-spreading bateau neckline it gradually passing into the limbo. though of course there will be some conservative souls who will cling to it for some time to come, just as there were conservative folk who resisted it when it first came into fashion. if you are young and comely you will be able to wear the little low stand-up collar that has some- how wedsed its way into the pres- ent mode in spite of the fact that it Hatters so few women. It was taken fist of all from the funny little low collar found on the coats worn by men and women in China. Along with Mali Jong and jade green it was one of the fash- ions that we borrowed from far Cathay. it does everything that we once thought a collar shouldn’t do. It gives a hard round line and accentuates what has been called the “line of decapitation." Equally trying is the low round collar used by Premet recently. just like the Chinese collar, only that it closes in the back instead of the front. suggesting a plant's collar. ‘ For less trying are some of the really ‘high collars that are to be seen on the new frocks. Some- times these collars are made by the windings of a soft, pliable scarf about the neck. There is an unmistakable sheet of the in— fluence of the Directolre period in many of the newest high collars. One of the high collars to be seen on a fur coat designed for next winter's wearing is said to be an exact reproduction of the collar worn by Napoleon at St. Helena! WISE.

Even a small country place is large enough to ac- commodate a good many guests. 80 that you can pay off a lot of obliga- tions at once with much less trouble than would be the case if your party were held indoors. 'Of course your house must be in order so that such guests as wish to may wander in- doors. but no indoor preparations for entertaining them need be prepared. unless the day turn out rainy. Even in our usually delightful summer climates this is an unpleasant possi- bility. But when we remember that the garden party is the favorite English summer diversion we ought to take heart. because the English climate is notably uncertain. Some sort of music is quite in order at a. garden party. Interpre- tive dancing is also a form of enter- tainment that is usual.

Big cushions covered with colored linen or cretonno are quite as satisfactory as chairs. At a. garden party the other day inter- esting seats were provided by sec- tions of a. large felled tree. two or three feet long. rolled up against the tree trunks. These are comfortable enough for outdoor seats and can be made more so with cushions. Refreshments for the garden party may consist of tea. punch. sand- wiches. cakes. and bonbons. Of course you may have something more elaborate if you wish but these simpler refreshments are really much more sultable. Ice cream or an ice of some sort is not out of place, and in some neighborhoods your party would probably be con- sidered incomplete without some frozen refreshments. WHAT’S IN A NAME? Facts about your name: its history; Its meaning; whence it was de- rived; its significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. “ FLORENCE ing. can scarcely be separated from its quaint diminuative Flora. meanin‘gfiowers. Flora. in mythological legend was the god- dess of the flowers and the festivals of Flora or Floralia were. celebrated in the first burst of spring. In later times the name of Flame was formed from that of the goddess and is memorable as that of the procurator whose harshness drove the Jews to their last rebellion. It is believed that the feminine Flora came from this. There is a church at Florence to Saints Flore and~Lucilla, but other- wise the first instance of the name is in Roman-Gothic Spain, where FLORENCE. signifying nourish- the unhappy daughter of Count Julian was called by the Spanish diminuative Florlnda. and thus caused the name to be so much de- tested that while Spanish ballads call her La. Cave, the wicked. her christian name was only bestowed on dogs. A Spanish maiden martyred by the Moors brought Flora. into better repute. it became Flore in France. where it was adopted an a romantic epithet. and from there it found its way into Scotland. In the Gaelic it is spelled Floris. as the island heroine of the '45 wrote herself. Florentin. was a natural product and named a feminine saint mar- ~ tyred in Diocletian's reign in Gaul. -:- Fads for theSummer -:- ago every l-it of cretonne that the two or three dry goods stores had in stock was sold out before they had had time to order more. The fad for cretonne coats had hit‘the town—and before the storekeepers knew what it was all about every girl in the place had planned to make a wrap of this description 'ior herself. This fad for cretonne coats seemingly began before colleges and schools had disbanded for the summer and now that girls are flocking to the lake and seashore the cretonno coat is even more in demand. Boms girls make their own coats. but it is almost always a better plan to buy one ready made. for though simple they are not my to make. Some girls have several IN one small town a few weeks different cretonne coats to go With different frocks. They are espe- cially attractive on the beach. but they are worn by many young motorists. Some group of young girls somewhere started the fad this summer of wearing floppy sailor "pants" for leisure hours out- doors. They protect the legs from undue sunburn and flies and mos- quitoes. yet they are quite com- fortable. So after or before your swim. you can Just slip a pair of sailor's trousers over your swim- ming suit. and if you like, top thlg off with some sort of jersey Jacket or sweater and you have a com- fortable costume for idling about the beach, for sailing. paddling or rowing.
