William A Radford surveys a Dutch Colonial compact home designed for modern living. The two story plan features a sun parlor optional for cost savings, a large living room with fireplace, dining room with buffet, a practical kitchen and pantry, and upper bedrooms with a balcony above the sun parlor that can become a sleeping porch for added capacity.
Lighting and electrical equipment should not be economized in home building. Hire a reliable electrical contractor to save time, money, and trouble. Involve the contractor early, ask the architect for placement of switches, and avoid nonregular electricians to prevent insurance issues.
Look up records in the county treasurer's office to see if the property has been posted for unpaid taxes in recent years. Realty firms provide a title, but private sellers may dispose of property with tax liens or back taxes.
Concrete is now universally accepted as the ideal sidewalk material in towns and cities across the country. Properly built walks are durable, smooth, and clean in appearance, requiring four materials portland cement crushed stone or pebbles and water. Foundations, suitable materials, and correct mixing and placing determine lasting walks.
The Christian Science Monitor muses on the enduring value of old home weeks and the growing individual responsibility in American life. It argues that even a century hence, such gatherings will be viewed as part of a lasting legacy built by forebears, shaping future generations.
Florence News urges immediate action on planting trees and establishing a lawn while cool moist spring weather favors growth. It argues hot dry periods hinder grass and urges readers to start flowers paint and other outdoor projects now to demonstrate engagement with the world.
The Troy Herald argues cities must build a foundation of prestige and goodwill to become truly better. It notes Troy has opportunity to grow in quality, even if not to half a million, by adopting and applying new standards that could make it better known than much larger cities.
A belief that a rattler will not strike until its rattle sounds is false. If trodden on while asleep the reptile will strike first and rattle afterward.
A clipped, quirky excerpt contrasts men boasting about golf swing with practical home skill, as Mrs. Otto remarks she knows many who talk big about golf yet cannot operate a carpet heater. The fragment hints at social humor and domestic competence gaps.
The article explains a low loss doughnut coil and coupler to replace standard tuning components in neutrodyne and tuned radio frequency receivers. It claims reduced magnetic interference, lower losses, and improved first stage selectivity, with a detailed parts list and wiring guidance for building the complete radio system.
A Radio Digest correspondent describes adding two coils A and B to a regenerative radio set to sharpen selectivity. By winding on two wires with turns differing by ten from the original coil C and using a shared spider-web form, the antenna circuit gains a 42 11-plate or 23-plate variable condenser. Coils A and B are tuned together by a 24-plate condenser F to narrow the static band and tune out nearby stations, yielding a very sharp tuner when properly assembled.
Capt Mar Boucher successfully steered an airplane over Paris from the ground with two passengers aboard. A ground control board allowed ascent descent turning and full command response while the passengers testified to smooth execution, following prior sea experiments.
A practical fix paper suggests tightening bulb sockets to reduce vibration and flicker in single wire systems. Methods include adding solder to the bulb end, pressing in slot openings for a tighter grip, or inserting a base wedge between the socket wall and the bus case if needed.
A Houston era piece explains radio voice transmission outpacing sound, with New York to San Francisco as example. It notes light waves travel 186000 miles per second while sound travels 1126 feet per second, suggesting radio erases time and space and hints at future possibilities.
Present-day low loss tuners allow greater distances with slight selectivity loss by removing the antenna and ground connections to the untuned primary and converting them to the secondary coil via two fixed 0.0005 µF condensers. One condenser in each lead provides capacity coupling between primary and secondary, eliminating coupling control and boosting signal strength through direct energy feeding into the tuned circuit.
The life of a radio tube depends on how it is used by the operator. Filament burnout comes from excessive current or short circuits with the B battery, while reduced emission results from too high filament or B battery voltage. Prolong tube life by using low filament current and keeping B battery at or below 90 volts.
