Modern Girl Types Warn Men Against Matrimony
A Smart Set reader, a young businessman earning a high income, argues three girl types deter marriage. The freedom-loving, money-wasting daughter, and the intellectual active woman are said to threaten domestic happiness. He warns that such traits may push men toward bachelorhood and ruin a potential marriage.

New Amplifier Promises High Fidelity Audio Revival
A new form of audio amplification claims to reproduce all notes and overtones equally for perfect sound. It uses a resistor choke and impedance network with enamelled wire and beeswax rosin insulation designed for maximum amplification with UX201A tubes. The setup claims double the gain of three stages of pure inductance and reduces reliance on high mu tubes and high plate voltages.
Sun's influence linked to long wave radio signal strength
The annual report by Dr. A W Austin for the U S Bureau of Statistics notes sunspot activity as the likely main factor shaping long wave radio signal strength. Curves show links between signal changes and sunspot cycles, solar rotation, and nine day terrain effects, with monthly and yearly sunspot averages viewed as more established over years.

How Radio Service Man Checks Weak Home Built Sets
A radio service man explains quick checks for weak home built tuned radio frequency sets. He notes common faults from grid returns to detector filament leads and provides steps using battery voltages and a milliammeter to verify proper current draw and correct polarity.
Detector grid return issues with 200 and 200A tubes
Radio World notes that grid return can be negative for detectors of 200 or 200A type and warns that 17 milliamp readings affect storage-battery operated sets without power tubes. Replacing 201A with 200A may not adjust the grid return, risking detector performance. verify grid return before troubleshooting.

Batteries First Place to Look for Trouble
Batteries are the first place to check in a five tube radio set. If all tubes and batteries test normal, inspect the detector and radio frequency tubes. Poor ground or improperly located aerials cause weak reception. The aerial should be ten feet from the roof and as high as practicable for better signal pickup.
How Radio Is Affected During Thunderstorms
The weather bureau and other agencies studied thunderstorm effects on wireless telephony. Nebraska Wesleyan University data show no link between barometric pressure and audibility. Sending station conditions do not affect distant receivers. Nearby storms and high static reduce audibility at the receiver.

Dairy butter making during winter changes 1917 to 1925
U S Department of Agriculture dairy market specialist T R Pirtle notes key shifts in creamery butter production from 1917 to 1925. Creamery butter output rose sharply by about 711 percent, with share of total milk used for butter increasing from 17.8 to 25.54 percent. Winter feeding season production grew, while grass season output declined, reflecting a strategic shift to winter dairying. Prices, costs, and ration balance shifted, with feed costs down and butter prices up between 1917 and 1925.

Proper Feed for Young Bulls Affects Breeding Success
Farmers should feed bull calves liberally from birth to maturity to ensure development and vigor. Early growth, grain and roughage balance, and avoidance of excessive fat in mature bulls are emphasized to promote sound breeding stock and avoid stunting.
Dehorning Calves With Caustic Potash Method
A historic notice describes dehorning young calves using caustic potash. It details inserting a pencil into a stall rubber tube and rubbing the horn tip with moistened caustic until the spots become raw. Performed best on calves aged three to ten days with careful moisture to prevent skin burns.
Dairy Squibs on Feeding and Milk Production
Agriculture notes advise continuing grain for milking cows and using water as inexpensive feed. Proper breeding improves profits and lowers consumer costs. Even with cleaner milk production, some bacterial content remains. Salt licks in pastures support daily intake. Begin extra green feed or grain as pastures shorten in fall.
