Logan Payne CHICAGO NEW YORK Freedom of the Air | While radio stations here in the Northwest were Thelping the railroads dispatch their trains during the recent emergency caused by the failure of wire com- munication, the radio industry was given an example of the need for a definite standard of policy covering such situations. 3 It is a rule, rigidly enforced by the federal radio com- mission, that all stations must be silent while S O. 8. messages are being transmitted in the event of trouble at sea. Emergencies take precedence over entertain-. ment. During the emergency in the Northwest station WFIW .at Hopkinsville, Kentucky, interfered seriously with the, work of dispatching trains by air as carried on by ‘WDAY at Fargo and KFDY at Brookings, 8. D. 'WDAY and WFIW operate on the same wavelength and the latter station prevented KFDY from picking up the ‘signals from the Fargo statiop. Asked to do so, ‘the Kentucky station refused to get off the, air. Evans E. Plummer, radio expert for the Chicago Herald sand Examiner, grew wroth about it. Here’s what he had to say: “IT am not much of a hand at trying offenders in the newspapers, but I will break the rule this once to say that I believe circumstances warrant and demand the absolute and complete can- cellation of the license of station WFIW, Hopkins- ville, Ky. Here's what happened: “Raging blizzards had torn down practically all the telegraph gnd communication wires in North Dakota. Trains bearing living, laughing human beings, even as you and I, were bravely being dispatched by emergency broadcasts be- tween WDAY, Fargo, and KFDY, Brookings. The latter station had great trouble hearing WDAY because WFIW, in Kentucky and on the ‘same wave length as WDAY, was broadcasting and refused to get off the air. “The important ‘reason’ why WFIW would not get off the air was that it had a direct selling, phonograph record, commercial program on. The object being sold at this practically useless time of the morning, was a cheap station-separating gadget which borders close on tie line of fraud and fake. I recommend it to no one. “When politely asked to get off the air for the , WFIW, the brass-intestined, parasith-toieted sons of haywire Kentucky gentlemen had the nerve to go on the air with the retort that WFIW would not get off and that if KFDY had one of the station-separating gadgets, it should hear WDAY with no trouble. “And WFIW kept prostituting the name of the fair state of Kentucky by continuing to broad- cast while the passenger-bearing train, plowed through the blinding drifts in North Dakota, innocently trusting that its right of way would be eleared by the dispatches from WDAY to KFDY! “Kentucky papers—please copy.” Mr. Plummer did not get all his facts quite straight and his comment seems a bit heated. Co. BOSTON ay we don't quite like that expression “raging blizzards,” either. > However, the idea back of the comment certainly is sound. Radio is still in its infancy. It takes time to devise @ code of ethics and win its general acceptance by an industry. . ‘Through the years the newspapers of the country have built up a code of ethics which covers most situations. ‘We-still have some “yellow” journalism to be sure, but in their relations to each other in emergencies the rule iq pretty well established among newspapers. “In cities where newspaper competition is keen, it occasionally happens that one newspaper suffers a break- down of its press or other mechanical equipment. In such cases the competing newspaper never refuses the use of its press even though it knows its rival would suffer greatly if it failed to publish. ‘The radio industry needs something of the same at- titude. Because of its peculiar relationship to its public, the radio station needs to be careful to maintain its status in the minds of its listeners. No agency which deals directly with the public cau afford to brand itself as “brass intestined or parasite infested.” faith ES | The Great Work of Fire Tngurance The popular conception of a fire compeny is an institution which, for a stated amoint, indemnities the assured against loss by fire. , | As a matter of fact, collecting premiums and paying losses is one of the least important of the services the in- dustry renders to the public. Of far greater moment 1s the part it plays in maintaining national credit, and sible. , ~ According to W. E. Mallalieu, general manager of the often National Board of Fire Underwriters, at the middle of this year the savings of the American people totaled $121,400,156,000. In part, this includes $28,000,000,000 iri] fire tions and $11,606,000,000 in securities marketed duting| 1929 and the early part of 1930. The income from these, savings reached about $9,000,000,000 a year, exclusive of life insurance, and nearly all of it comes from dividend and interest payments on investments. It is fire ingur- ance which makes it possible for persons to safely invest their money. Back of every safe loan is an insurance Policy. Without the protection afforded by insurance, wne owner of every building, ‘@ skyscraper or a cottage, the backer of every industrial development faces ruin in case of fire. ance makes through its own investments, to governments and other industri¢s. Mr. Mallalieu states that the stéck fire insurance companies in four eastern states have in- vested $91,966,000 in real estate bonds, $341,055,040 in railroad securities and $132,890,408 in the offerings of electric utilities. They hold over $92,000,000 in bank} stocks gnd $278,823,960 in bonds of the United States. Tt is said that the total investments of all stock fire in- surance companies would be well above two billion dol- lars. These investments are reflected in employment! arid industrial development, as well as in the stebility/ and safety of the insurance companies. | —_—_—_———— | A Meritorious Contribution ' | In publishing the official proceedings of the white house conference on child health and protection, the United States aily has made a valuable contribution to the object of the conference. The stenographic record comprises more than 50 pages in supplement form and doubtless will prove a valuable file for newspapers and /| welfare workers of the nation. | The United States Daily is an unique journalistic en- terprise presenting federal news without comment. Its columns merely tell the facts without bias, gleaning the daily grist from government bureaus, reports and hear- ings. ‘This printed symposium gn child welfare has a wealth of valuable material upon a matter of vital importance to the nation. President Hoover, in his address open- ing the conference, gave some statistics that should focus national attention upon the problem of child wel- fare. Out of an examination of 45,000,000 children, it was found that 35,000,000 are reasonably normal; 6,000,- 000 undernourjshed; 1,000,000 defective in speech; 1,000,- 000 with weak hearts; 300,000 crippled; 14,000 blind, and 30,000 partially blind. The results of the survey are appalling and a chal-/ lenge to redoubled efforts to improve the condition of the child who, of course, is “father to the man” and the} potential citizen. There is also the problem that child labor presents. During the last few decades there has been a decided shift in the population from rural centers to the con- gested districts where industry competes too often for the labor of the child. Neither should the responsibility to the child on the farm be ignored. Rural conditions are far from ideal and too many children are bearing heavy burdens of toil and hardship there. But the boy or girl on the farm has certain natural advantages denied chil- dren reared in the congested districts of the big city. A study of the proceedings of this conference discloses a decided lessening of parental control. Influence of a good home is one of the most potent correctives of juve- nile problems. The lack of it is at the bottom of a great deal of the trouble. One prominent speaker declared that “an ynderstanding parent &nd particularly an under- Standing and affectionate. mother, is the greatest in- THE FEDERAL : GOVERNMENT SHOULDNT USURD STATE ENFORCEMENT HODGKIN'S DISEASE } ‘This disease is usually rare, but I} heritance any child can have—the best insurance of happiness and useful citizenship.” Grave responsibilities are placed upon the various: political subdivisions of the nation to supervise the many organizations, public and private, devoted to child car- ing. Too often they are poorly supervised and many scandals have arigen involving organizations intrusted with the care of children. This surely is one of the fundamental problems.

Stopping the use of heavy foods allows the white blood cells and lym- phatic fluids to carry off the accum- ulated wastes and lessens the amount of irritation to the lymphatic glands —the probable cause of their enlarge- ment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Leg Exercises Question: J.C. asks: “Will coco- butter develop the calves of the legs? If not, is there anything that will?” Answer: The best method of de- veloping the calves of* the legs is through the following exercises: Stand on,one foot, balancing the body by placing one hand against the wall, and raise and lower your weight on the toes and ball of foot. When the muscles become tired you should do the same on the other foot. Diet in Manual Labor Question: P. Q. asks: “Do you think that a man working at the machinist trade can get enough nourishment from a diet that consists of one grapefruit, four slices of wholewheat toast and a handful of dates for breakfast; a handful of peanuts for lunch, and a raw vegetable salad for | dinner consisting of carrots, cabbage, celery, beets and parsnips, in all weighing about a pound? Is it all right to eat that same diet every day or should it, be changed?” Answer: The diet you outline does not seem sufficient for a working man to use for any length of time. The average person doing hard muscular work or - taking a proportionate smount of physical culture exercise should use as much protein in one day as that contained in two eggs and about a quarter of a pound of lean meat. My weekly menus appearing in this paper every Friday would be suitable; or, I will be glad to send you some special articles, including-a menu which outlines a diet which I would recommend for anyone doing manual labor.

Following his graduation from Trinity College in Dublin, Mont- gomery joined tht British army as an ensign and came to America to fight in the French and Indian War. He displayed such courage and sa- gacity at the siege of Louisburg that he was promoted to captain. After the conquest of Canada he returned to England, where he re- mained for seven years, when, selling his commission, he emigrated to New York. In 1775 he represented Duchess county in the first provincial con- vention, and in the same year was ap- pointed by congress brigadier general in the Continental Army. In the expedition against Canada he captured successively Chambly, St. Johns and Montreal. Soon after his promotion to major general he was killed in an attempt to storm Quebec. The bullet that killed him, curiously, was the only one fired. His troops retreated on his death, A monument in his honor was erected by the order of congress in front of St. Paul's church in New York. f eeneNn nO AIEEA-annP SSCS A scientist declares there are quantities of rubber in the human body.
