The first iota of official faformation | concerning the R. C. A.-¥ictor Co.'s Inew “mystery” television kystem was { available today with the rather startling clalm that it is four times as efficient | s nything neretofore exhibited to the public. | The disclosure came in an application |for an_experimental television station to use the apparatus, and no doubt wes unintentional, for utmost secrecy has shrouded the development, The applica- | tion, requesting the experimental sta- | tion' for Portland, Me., today is in the | ! hands of C. C. Kolster. radio supervisor | at Boston, and within the next few days will be submitted to the Federal Radio Commission for action. . Buick Pontiac s4.5o!chry.m 3R.50 Durant { Hup-Nash lmmflow.

Mor=over, the application seeks as- signment in the ultra high frequencies, where ample space is believed available to accommodate television, if those fre- quencies can be harnessed for such use. At present the ultra-high channels are considered worthless for practical com- mercial radio, but the experimentation in these bands has been most encourag- ing, particularly since all other portions of the radio spectrum are crammed full with stations. The application requests variable power of from 500 to 5.000 watts, with the experimental television bands of 43,000 to 46,000 kilocycle 48,500 to 50,300 kilocycles and 60,000 | 80,000 kilocycles.

'I‘HE Men Don’t Fiom Bcbyh«;d to Middle Ifie They llu:run in Size According to Well Defined Plan, U. S. Headlth Survey Reveals. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Men don't just grow. From drooling babyhood to middle age they incre in various dimen- sions, according to a weli defined pa tern, it is shown by extensive lwuufe- ments of more than 2,000 Infllkulh from 3 to 50 years of age just com- pleted by surgeons of the Unltcd States Publk: Health Service. Starting with his third birthday, the [t measurements show a boy is just about half as tall as he will ever be. then on he grows steadily until he is 17 when, for the great majority prog- ress stops in the upward direction. But during these 14 years the boy doesn’t_grow tall at the same rate all over. For several years after birth the trunk is disproportionately long com- pared with the legs. By the seventh or eighth birthday the legs have caught up so that the proportions are approxi- ‘mately the same as they will be in adult life. During the period of. adolescence the legs grow faster. This is the period of the long-legged, lanky boy. y the seventeenth birthday the disproportion again is overcome. Growth in weight is quite’ different. At 3 the baby has only sbout one-fifth the weight it will have at the begin- ning of adult life. Weight increases very rapidly during the adolescent period and the same growth rate con- tinues well into the twentieth year. Then there is a slow, gradual - increase during adult life for which there are no_compensations in added height. Because of the varying relation be- tween weight and height growth, the Public Health Service report points out the futility of saying that a person of & certain height should have a certain weight. Such an index is useless unless ratios are prepared for each age, on & large number of cases. Much closer to heighth is chest cir- cumference. This also is about half developed in the 3-year-old and. in- creases steadily until the 1Tth year. Then it slows up enormously, but shows some slight growth during the entire adult life. For chest expansion, How- ever, the peak is not reached until be- tween 20 and 24 years, after which life. The increase of air capacity of the lungs follows about the same curve as weight up to adolescence. Then it | rises very rapidly to a maximum, and during adult_life is closely related to chest _circumference, although the de- cline is somewhat less. The circumfer- ence of the abdomen is relatively great in young children, and increases in about the same proportions as chest circumference, but the increase is con- siderably more rapid during adult life. Muscular strength continues to rise until the 30th year, when a slight de- cline sets in, which'is accelerated after | 50. Thus strength seems to move in| a semi-circle from the low point of | babyhood to the low et of senility. | “From the composite picture of | growth,” says the report of Surgeons | Fouls Schwartz and Lewis R. Thompson | and Statistician Rollo H. Britten, “the measurements divide themselves into two rather sharply contrasting groups. | Weight, vital capacity and strength be- | gin at very low values and rise with | amazing rapidity during adolescence. | The other measurements show & mod- | erate increase throughout , childhood, | and some are still rising, more or less, | at 50 years.” Beginning at about the fourth year, the curves drawn by the Public Health Service investigators show, there is sharp decline in the rate of growth in | welzm height and chest expansion. | This continties until about the ninth | year after which there is a much less| rapid decline until about the fifteenth year. Then the tendency is checked | altogether and there is a pronounced 409 11th St. NW.
