was very-micropitonic, so I placed it
on a piece of felt, This helps a little
but it still makes considerable noise

edy this?"
Ans.:--'You will probably have to
mount each socket on a piece of felt
or sponge rubber. Even with this ar-
rangement youmay still have trouble
if the wires connected to the sockets
are too stiff.
Q.—R. E, A. wants to know: "What
is the proper size of' grid leak to use
with the old type tJVaoo tuber"
Ans,—These tubes usually work
best with about a half megohm grid
leak. You may be able to use as high
as a one megohm leak.
Q. -D. D. N. says: "I am not able
to get hold of any distilled water very
easily, Is it all right to use tap water
for my storage battery if the water is
clear?
Ans.:—No, Even though the tap
water is clear it will have impurities
dissolved in it which are invisible and
which will later precipitate out. Col-
lect ,some rain water in glass or earth-
enware vessels. Filter the rain water
carefully as soon as possible and seal
it up in bottles.

EVOLUTION
This evolution racket got
Under our ;skin enough to
Tempt us into doing some
Experimentire of our own.
We started by Slippin' a
Dollar bill into our left
Hind trouser pocket. Left
It there for two weeks - -
Thinkin' maybe it, would be
A five when we again reached
For it. But no such luck, It
Evoluted out! The wife., got it!'
Put our olds shoes out on the
Back porch—hopin' some.
Mysterious power might make
A new pair out of them by
Morning...„.Bright and early
Next day we rushed 'thither.
Nope. Same run-down heels and
Holes• in the soles. Again-
No Progress.
Pushed a worm on a hook and
Shoved it into the water of
A nearby river—hopin' it
Would evolute into a fish.
All the evolution we got
Was an old piece of stove ..
Pipe. 'Twas tough!
Sent our dirty shirt to the
Laundry—hopin' to see it
Evolute into a nice new one.-
We
ne:We got back half as much as
We sent. Maybe, that was
Reverse Evolution? •
Took our last year's hat over
To be cleaned hopin' it would.
Evolute into saving us the
Price of a new one. When it
Came back, it didn't fit.
It shrunk. More--
Reverse
ore-.Reverse Evolution?
Deposited ten dollars in the
Bank—hopin' to see it
Evolute into a fortune. To -day
We got a bill for coal.
Good -bye -fortune t
So here's giving three . Cheers for Evolution!
(Deleted by Censor)
A well known_, piano manufacturer says that "jazz tea-
ches girls jungle love.” According to the Evolutionists,
what other kind could he expect?
OH! JUDGE! HOW COULD YOU?
Park bench is no place for spooning—in the opinion of a
New York judge. Maybe "blazoner" never had a girl.
Doesn't he know that Love is blind, deaf, dumb and un
conscious, and irresponsible for where it parks. Ask any
statistician who has counted the couplets that—with arms
linked around each other :have cooingly seated themsel-
ves on benches marked "Wet Paint!"

Experts who now claim that women like to leave off
taro years out of every ten as they grow older. And to
think that they can do it and still look you straight in the
eye. Wonder of wonders!
