Sinking, To Write Daily
Rudolph L. Duncan, radio tech
nical exp-'rt for the Tiines-Record
er, who begin* today a serie* of
It'sso.is in radio telephony, is rated
v. ith the famous Jack Binns as
a hero of /the sea. He was chief
radio electrician on the U. S. S.
San Diego when that battleship was
sunk on July 19, 1918.
Duncan, last to leave, had to
be ordered off by the captain.
Even after his radio aparatus had
been incapacitated, he rigged up
an auxiliary set and kept on flash
ing S. O. S. calls.
From railroad telegraph opera
tor, Duncan has become a veteran
in the field of wireless. He broke
in when he was 15 and has learn
ed wireless from the ground up.
His stories will appear daily in
the 1 imes-Recorder.

“Hello, wireless.”
“Give me the air.”
A clasp of the headphones, an ad
justment of the detectoil and the
radio fan “listens in. It is easy.
’Most everybody is doing it. Soon
there will be thousands more. They
will hear music, news, lectures, ser
mons and government reports. They
will enjoy them.
But they will miss the real fun
of stripping the
air of its mys
ter ie s unless
they get down
to fundamentals.
These are not
involved. A lit

a comprehensive
understanding is
easy.

It is the aim of the writer to work
from the ground up, taking in all ,the
important‘*phases of wireless—and
explaining them so readers with little

get a good grasp of the science.
Eventually I shall tell.you how to
construct receiving sets that will get

The State Meat Market Inspector, Dr. R. M. Walsh, was
in Americus yesterday, inspecting meat markets. He did
not visit our market— Because —
When Dr. Walsh was here about three weeks ago he gave
this market an absolute clean bill of health. So clean and
so sanitary was this market that Dr. Walsh did not think
it necessary to visit us again.
He could not have paid us a greater compliment or given
you- our customers —a better guarantee than that. He
KNEW everything was O. K. here.
Our Refrigerators, Sausage Machines, protection against flies and uncleanli
ness met every requirement of the State Department. Dr. Waist did not find
any meats to throw out; he did not find any utensils dirty or with sour meat on
them. Everything in Good Shape.
Ihe Health and Happiness of our customers is our first consideration. We
know, probably better than you, bow very necessary it is that your meats be
killed, dressed, handled and kept under the most strict sanitary conditions.
And you may rest assured that everything that comes from
our market will meet your requirements, as well as the
requirements of the State Inspectors.

This wire is attached near the end
of the antenna to obtain maximum

j one antenna to an aerial, connection
i is made to each antenna, as shown

In case of transmission the lead-in

Carrie Speer Tells How Pub

Miss Carrie Speer, the city li-

■ a radio receiving set, for the en-
I joyment and instructions of the pub

I Library. X
“The city should buy and install
j such an outfit,” said Miss Speer in
;an interview today. “It would prove
' one of the most vitalizing attrac-
I tions of the city library. As we
j know, the library belongs to all the

radio, concerts, lectures, speeches,
entertainments and many interesting
and instructive things of value are
being sent out from Atlanta and
many other large cities, to'be picked
out of the air without cost by those
who are equipped for it. 1 under
stand a number of private radio out
fits will be installed in Americus
shortly, but those will not benefit the
•public. Me have a splendid audito
rium, with seats for several hundred,
and a radio outfit in it could be made
of untold interest and value to the
public. In fact, the library is the
place for it, and it would prove a
valuable addition to the work of the
library.
As I understand it, the first cost
is practically the whole cost. Once
the sets are installed—and the cost
I am told does not exceed about $l5O
tor the large sets—the expense would
end except for repairs, keeping uo
batteries, etc. We now have the tel
ephone m the library and consider it
a necessity and a legitimate expense.
1 am sure the radio would be even
more valuable to the whole public.”
PERMANENCE AND
SUCCESS
PIGGLY WIGGLY was planned and founded
for permanency.
Permanence and success are dependent upon
the confidence of the general public, and that
confidence cannot be won through misrepre
sentation.
PIGGLY WIGGLY has stood the test of time
and the test of the most rigid and thorough
investigations.
PIGGLY WIGGLY has succeeded because it is
an economical advance and because it meets
the demands and satisfies the desires of the
American Housewife.

organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss
of ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a physician’s
prescription, obtained at any drug
store, ihaye be just the remedy need
ed to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this pa
