How to Make Your
Own Wireless Phone
Matthew I.. Rerghi is director of
the Radio Institute* of America at
New York. lie* has explained the
mysteries of the \vlrele*ss telephone
lei thousands in formal classes and
lectures. Now in two arti<*ie*s in the
Evening News, he will tell you how
to make your own radio receiving
set at a e*ost of S.*> to Sin—a set that
will enable* you to listen in on all the
Wireless talk within a radius of 100
mile's .
BY MATTHEW I.. HI JR.IN
NEW YORK Make your own
k radiophone.'
Get tin* latest news, concerts, ser
mons. right in your own parlor—
through the air.
Tt’s easy.
There arc no batteries or elec
trical currents to frighten you.
The work involved is little. The
cost is small.
A mati on the farm or in the city
can build an instrument and rig it
up for less than $.r». Rut he will
have to buy a set of receivers that
will increase tin e«»sl t«» nearly Jin.
Some boys li i\<* built their sets
for $2—but they probably pjeked
up most of their parts.
Wlint You Need "
The materials are:
Fifty to 120 feel of Xo. 12 or Xo.
J4 copper wire bare.
Two porcelain fusii lutors.
One porcelain tube.
A wooden base 6x12 inches.
Four bits of wood—half an inch
thick 6x6 inches.
A cardboard tube—an old cereal
box will do—six inches long.
Two slider rods—seven Indies
long.
Two sliders (more cheaply bought
than made.)
One half >Vund of Xo 22 enamel
copper wire
Four binding posts -with screws.
One clip or detector mo.
One piece of galena —lead sul
phite.
Six sheets of tinfoil:—3x4 inches.
Six layers of wax paper—1 \r.
inches.
A bit of fine springy wire Xo. 36
or No. 38. f
Some small nails.
vxi« i»x me»e imhiii m ric seis
should cover a field of marly 100
miles from the broadcasting station
Aerial Comes f’iiM
The first thing to be considered is
* he aerial—which catches tlie wire
less waves.
This consists of 50 to 120 feet of
/ re stretched above the ground
A high as possible. This height
should be at least 40 feet.
A good place to string the aerial
s between the house, and a barn or
i ree top. *
Tie a piece of rope to the tree or
pole. Attach one of the porcelain
insulators—they cost about 5 cents
ea ch.
Then take one end of your wire
ind connect it to the insulator.
Carry the rest of the wire back to
'he house. Pull it up to the roof—
• your other terminal point. Attach
another Insulator to another bit of
rope—and complete your aerial con
nection.
Don’t pull too tightly. Allow the
"ire wme sag for the blowing of
the wind.
Double Wire Aerial
If you want, you may use n dou
ble wire aerial—but this is not nec
essary for the small receiving set.
From the inculator run your
• erial wire as the “lead in”—to the
instrument. Use a glass or porcci
lain tribe as insulator as it enters
the house.
Now the aerial is completed. The
next step is the construction of the
Instrument.
Get a cardboard tube five inches
wide by six inches long-an empty
cereal box will do.
» Dry it in the oven or on the
radiator.
Then take a bit of half inch board
—about six inches square and mark
on It the circumference of the tube.
Cut along the line and fit into tube*
Repeat this—and you have the
two heads for your tube.
Making (lie Sides
Nall these on two other boards
which will make the sides of your
instrument
Hjf 1 Before you slip them into place,
drill holes for your binding posts—
one through each board.
Take^the No. 22 enamel wire and
start winding it about half an inch
from the wood. Do -this tightly ana
smoothly in a single layer—each
turn touching the next. Finish about
half an inch from the end .
This tube, becomes the tuning soil
Shellac it and bake it—to make it
more durable.
Radio waves are sent out in cer
tain lengths—dependent upon the
instrument and the distance. To
catch these waves of varying

I HOUSE AND A TREE.
i lengths, the receiving set must bav
| some adjustment.
This is made *>n the tuning coil
two slider rods.
You may purchase these cheaply
it any supply store.
Making Adjusters
If you waul to nuik'1 them, take
i-.vo hits of brass seven inches Ion#
{ by three sixteenths square and Imre
lodes about a quarter of an inch
| from the ends.
(Set some brass tubing that v-jill
I .lust tit over the rods. These pieces,
t wo in number, should be about half
I in inch long.

) A short bit of brass is soldered to
the underside of these sliders.
Nail these rods on the board heads

Adjust the tongues of the sliders

, the coil. Scrape this carefully so

REPORT OH GHILB HYGIENE
BUREAU AT SO. AMBOY
SOUTH AM ho v, .Ian. 2G.~—In an
effort to acquaint Huy public with
the vast amount of work done by
the child hygiene bureau in this
city the following report of the ac-1
tivities of the child hygiene nurse in
December has been received from
Lho New .Jersey Department ol'
Health. The report covers in every,
instance the eases taken in charge
by the nurse in this city.
A total of 35 1 visits wero made
by the nurse as follows^: Twenty
three visits to expectant mothers; j
223 to babies under one year of ^
age; 21 visits to the children of tin !
pre-sehool age, and 53 visits t»> i
school children.
The nurse has 2G1 eases on her
visiting list which" are made up oi' j
the following: Ten expectant Vnoth- |
era; 1J3 pre-school children, and 154 |
babies under one year of age.
At the Dahy Keep Well Station
31 babies and nine pre-sdhonl chil
dren wero weighed and measured
and advice given as to their care
and feeding. During the month the
following number of new cases were
taken under the nurse supervision,
15 new horn babies and 1G children
of pre-school age.
There were 33S Inspections made
of school children. Fight children)
were excluded from the schools of
the city. Twelve emergency treat
ments were given in the schools.
Tho nurse also discovered 137 de
fects of which three were children
of the pro-school age. and 123 chil
dren of school age, she had 4L de
■feets corrected.
Two throat cultures from school
children were taken and* found to
be positive for diphtheria. A case of
non report in a birth was reported
to’ the proper authorities and one
relief case was attended to. The
work of the Hygiene nurse through
out the state is proclaimed by many
as being one of the direct means of
properly cheeking any epidemic,
that may have its origin in a school
case. The local nurse is at all times
busily engaged in attending to the
school child. In cases where a
slight throat trouble is noticed the
child is quickly dispatched to the
family physician, who in turn gives
a certificate of good health before
the child is again admitted into tlie
classes.

Legislature Doings
T R EN TON. Ian. 26: — A u t oiat >
alleged to be dodging municipal tax
i's on their speed wagons will havr
small chance ot' saving this little
item if a new hill, providing for col
lection of persona] taxes on autos
by the State Motor Vehicl Popart -
ment becomes a law. Such a bill,
prepared by Trenton Tax Assessor
Robert R Volk,jwill be introduced
m the legislature, probably nt\
Monday.
The scheme is to have the state
regency collect a tax. the rate el
which is specified in the act. \*hc:i
issuing licenses, which every auto
ist must have. Thus no tine will
escape. The money, less ten pci
cent for administrative purposes
will he turned over to tb munici
pality in which the car is at present
taxable. The Trenton assessor de
clares that at present manv autoisp
escape being taxed for their cars
and that the new plat}, bv gettinc
the tax from everybody who oughl
to pay It. will probably more tha»
make up for the loss to the muni i
pnllty of the ton per cent for ad
ministration, taken by the state.
Receipts for the tax. when paid
would be issued under the provi
sions of the bill, and if tie- ear 01
which the tax lias booh paid is sold
requiring new registration. thi:
would bo issued on production «•
the 'rccol|#.. When cars a is* tax
exempt. or belong to non-r<,sidetit.«
i receipt showing this would bo is
suod. in lieu of a receipt for mom \
paid in.
The rates of taxatipn. fixed by tin
bill, vary with the age of the car
and are as follows: If registered
during year of manufacture, $2.0(
on each $100 of list price: second
year, $1.60 on each $100: third year
$1.12; fourth year, SI cents; otliet
years, 40 cents on each $100 of lisl
price.
Such a bill, it is declared by vet
eran observers here, would never In
I held constitutional b.\ Tin* courts. It
i is pointed our that it deprives mum
j eipalities of the right to fix, tax rates
•on autos, while under former
(statutes, they would still hdve au
thority to fix rates on other type of
personal property. This, it is de
clared. violates the constitutional
provision that tax laws shall ho uni
form.

tions point to it, past experience assures it. The regular traffic between producer and
consumer is being resumed rapidly—bridged across by Confidence.
Swing the bridge of Confidence down to a straight-away road and keep it there. Business
is reviving_as it did after the depressions of 1896, 1904, 1908, 1914. The volume of
manufacturing and trade is increasing daily, unemployment is decreasing, loans are expanding.
Business is gathering momentum—
