McManus' return from California (each Spring has become one of those harbingers of milder days that the birds watch and the tulips consult before they venture into the chill atmosphere of Manhattan winters.
"When the orange trees begin to bud, "McManus explains, "I get the itch to go back to the scenes where Jiggs and Maggie first came into being. So here I am, on schedule." As he approached the Empire State Builling, new "tallest build- ing in the world," completed since he last was in New York, McManus remarked, referring to a recent ex- perience of Jiggs: "I'm glad Jigge didn't get marooned on a beam on the top of that place. He might never have gotten down."
McManus expects to combine the fine arts of living and playing with the tremendous amount of work necessary to the daily production of "Bringing Up Father."
SLOW-MOTION DIALS.
I don't find that the slow-motion dtala that I recently bought make fine tuning quite so easy as you led me to expect that they would.
How's that?
Well, suppose that I am coming on to a station by increasing the reading. It builds
to up good strength, but I think that I may be able to get it just a little better. I make a further small inercase, but And that I have gone too far. When I turn the knobs backwards nothing happens until I have gone rather a

Your dials have a good deal of back-lash in their action. The ideal dial would have an absolutely posl- tive drive, the slightest movement of the knob in either direction pro- ducing an immediate corresponding response in the position of the scale and the moving plates.
As a matter of fact I did get my diala as rather a bargain.
You mean that you were offered something cheap and that you fell! From what you say I expect that must be the case.
A slow-motion dial
can be both cheap and good; In fact many ex- cellent firms turn out dials at re- markably low prices. You won't go wrong if you purchase these, but It is the height of folly to spend money on cheap foreign-made dials, which are simply thrown together. I expect that you have another fault to And with your dials,
Jo
As a matter of fact, I have. certain parts of the scalo you can turn the knob without moving the plates at all.
That's what we call free-wheeling, very common in cheap-jack dials.
Is there no way of testing out a dia! in the shop and without actually Atting it to a peeiving set? ·
Yes. Whenever you are examin. ing a slow motion dial with a view to purchase, get hold of it in your left hand, holding the rim between the thumb and the third and fourth fingers. Here's a dial. Just take it up as I suggest.
Now you will see that your first and second fingers come "naturally at the back. Place them on the driving disc (that is the metal or celluloid part to which the moving scale is fixed) and press pretty, firmly upon it. If you do that your first end second fingers act as 1a brake and give the dial just about
as before.
And about backlash?
Lift your fingers off the driving dise; turn to, say, the 70 mark, setting the hair line exactly on this. Now apply the pressure again and see whether you can' turn the knob to and fro a little without seeing or feeling any response from the driv ing disc, You can eve by watch- ing the hair lina; you can feel who- ther the disc tries to turn against the pressure of your fingera.— Amateur Wireless.

Of cheap DRY CLEANING. So called CHEMICAL CLEANING is soap and water with a little spirit spotting. Such method does not preserve cloth from moth and other insects.
"What is GENUINE DRY CLEANING?" Removal of all dust, spots, and soiling of a greasy matter by special spirit soaps and pure PETROLEUM BENZINE which can only be used in special machines installed in a fully licensed building approved by the GOVERN- MENT. There is only one large installation in the COLONY.
