A noted contrast is that in the
life of WIMiam Crapo of Detroit,
who with his fami y and fiancee is
riding in the sunshine of Tryon,
instead, as when a mere boy? he
hungered and thirsted in France^
marching for eight hours after ^t.
Mihiel without either res , or food.
Mrs. Bullard of New Bedford^ who
was Miss Crapo, will come to Tryon
about the end of the month.
Mr. Lightner came to his Tryon
home this week accompanied by his

as soon as she can leave New York,
where her play, "Puppet;" is having
a successful run at the Selyn iheat
er, on Forty_second Street.

HERE'S THE WAY TO
CARE FOR BATTERY J
K'
EEP the battery charged. II
Never lay tools on top of * '
a battery or they may cause a ..
complete discharge by short- "
circuiting It. ??
Add nothing except distilled [[
water.
Acid should never be added \ [
unless some has been spilled ??
from the cells accidentally. II
Boiled water is not distilled ??
water. I
A discharged battery will
freere easily, while a fully II
charged one wiU not freeze In ? |
this climate.
To find the positive and ne^n- * )
tive poles of a battery when no ..
marks are visible fill a glass
vessel half full of salt and cover ??
with water. Run a wire from II
etch terminal of the battery and ??
hold them about one Inch apart "*
In the solution. Bubbles will ??
rise from the negative wire. II
Also, there is usually more ??
greenish corrosion around the II
positive terminal than the nega- ?"
tive.
Never light a match and look
In the vent cups. The hydrogen ..
gas In the battery Is liable to
explode and cause serious In- ??
Jury to the eyes. II
Keep the battery charged and ??
don't let It get "thirsty." ? Chi- II

When Necessary Amount
of Power It Lacking
Many good seta fail to deliver suffi
cient volume on the loud speaker be
cause they are not supplied with the
necessary power to do1 so. Forty-five
volts on the plates of the amplifiers
will not deliver enough current to the
magnets of the loud speaker to pro
duce loud signals. Ninety volts will
five much better results, and Is cer
tainly worth the additional cost. An
extra grid bias is sometimes necessary
?with higher voltage, and this is sup
plied with a 4% volt C battery, which
it connected between the F post of the
transformer and the filament. The
negative terminal of the battery con
nects to F and the positive terminal
to the filament.

: Good Ground Connection
Is of Great Importance
A pood ground connection is vital
to the best operntlon of the radio re
' ceiver. On%crystal sets, where the
amount of energy employed is small,
the additional volume resulting from
I the use of a good ground or several
good grounds Is readily notlceuble.
j The Increase In volume with tube sets
Is not so pronounced, but the range
of the receiver Improves as the effi
ciency of the ground connection Is in
i creased.
The best ground connection is made
by connecting to the cold water pipes,
! or to a pipe or Iron rod driven into the
! ground until It reaches moist soil. In
either case the connection between the
ground wire from the set and the metal
of the pipe la of utmost importance.
Simply wrapping the wire around the
pipe Is a makeshift.
It Is difficult to solder a wire to a
pipe, especially if the pipe contains
water. Scrape or file the surfnee of
the pipe until all paint and rust ha\e
! ClaVnp Supplied With Winged Nut for
Tightening.
I been removed. Place a ground clamp
; around the prepared spot, tighten the
clamp and then solder the ground wire
to the clamp. In this way a good con
I nection is assured.
Inasmuch as the ground clnmp Is
| usually located in some out-of-the-way
place, to be forgotten after it is In
stalled, It is most 'important that it he
constructed of goinl material that will
not rust or corrode. When buying :i
groun^clamp try to secure one that Is
constructed of copper, is rugged and
substantial, that has a wide band, so
that a good surface contact can be so
cured all around the pipe instead of !n
.one or two points, and can be easily
| Installed.

"All Advertising Is
Retail arid Local "
"All advertising is retail and local in the end no
matter where printed or by whom paid for,"
writes Jamss H. Collins, business expert.
? Every merchant, manufacturer or distributor
who advertises s lould tack that sentence over his
desk and read it over before he decides upon his
advertising plans.
Unless your message is retail and local, it misses
the mark, for final sales are both retail and local.
The newspaper, being essentially local, and the
Sfreat moutpiece for the retailers, is obviously the
medium for the thoughtful who are looking forsales.

about $3.65. Now tha* they have
been restored^ the owners would not
