WHAT RADIO TELEPHONY 15 First of a Series of Articles on New Art ¥rank George, an authority on radio telephony, has written for the Herald a series of articles explaining in non-technical terms what radio telephony is, how it operates, what can be done with it, and other in- formation of interest and importance {o the radiophone fans. These articies have been approved by the Radio Section of the U. 8. Bureau of Standards 'The first s printed foday, A syllable spoken into a radiophone In New York 1is heard instantly around the world—anywhere and everywhere, Distance means noth- ng. Radlo waves travel with the speed of light—186,000 miles per second! Most pedple assume that radio is something mysterfous. That is a fall- acy. The principles of radio are sim- ple and have been known to science & long time. Radio communication is accom- plished by the use of electric waves which are radiated from one place and received at another. These waves have some of the characteris- tics of sound waves or the waves pro- duced by dropping a pebble finto water. Tlectric waves will pass through a vacuum. They will go through or- dinary walls of buildings and other opaque ohstacles. Strike the pronk of a tuning fork. Sound waves starting at the prong travel out into the air in all direc- tions. This is caused by the vibration of the prong. As the prong moves back and forth it causes the air next to it to move back and forth. This motion is passed on to the surround- ing air. Sound waves travel about 1,000 feet a second Electric waves also consist of vi- brations and their passage is practi- cally instantaneous Radio waves are of the same kind as light waves. Both are electric waves, the only difference being in the frequency of the vibrations. The ordinary low frequehcies used in the alternating currents for electric light- ing alternate very slowly and travel readily along wires. To make a wave travel effectively through space higher frequencies are used. Ten thousand to .30,000,000 vibrations per second are required for radio communication Resonance An eléetric wave starts from a wire carrying alternating current just as a sound wave starts out from a vibrat- ing tuning fork. The waves spread out in all directions and go to great distances. As the sound wave passes through the air it sets in vibration any object capable of taking up the motion. This can be demonstrated with two tuning forks. Strike one of the forks and immediately grasp it with the hand so a$ to stop the vibration. A sound will be heard frem the second tuning fork, provided the second is in resonance or tune. This is the principle of resonance in radio. The radio wave is made to carry a voice wave and any receiving instrument in tune with the sending instrument can receive the message. Innumerable radio messages may be in the air at one time but any particular receiving instrument re- ceives only the message sent by station with which the receiving in- strument is in tune. (In his next article Frank George will tell of the uses to which radio telephony is being put.)

PURE FOOD EXPERT TALKS T0 FORENEN Lewis B. Allyn Says People Are Fating Too Much Meat HOW TO BE HEAL”'HY (By Lewis B. Allyn, Pure Food Expert.) Eat less meat to avoid rheu- matism. Ham sandwiches are dangerous when eaten alone. Do not eat buckwheat cakes and sausages without a yegetable or some truit. For an acid lemon. Use vinegar on corned beef. White flour is bad. White or polished rice, will paralyze a pigeon in 14 d Scurvy has heen cured by, eat- ing raw potatdes. 3ran, middlings, or yeast cakes will help cure neuritis. Cabbage {is the most potent vegetable in vitamines. . Ilavoring extracts without al- cohol are not advisable Pasteurized milk, to’be advis- able must be pasteurized in pipes and not exposed to the air while heated. Only 10 per cent. of the food people eat nhou[d consist of meats, according to Lewis B. Allyn, one of the coun- try's leading pure food experts, in an address delivered to about 400 fac- tory faremen, under the auspices of the New Britain TIndustrial council, M. C. A, The address followed a demonstration of stomach, eat a Walter Camgp's daily dozen exercises, NEW BRITAIN' 357 Main Street under the direction of Physical Dire tor Joseph G. Hergstrom, of the “Y Never Live On Compressed Food “Most of us are eating too much meat and we would be better off with half as much,” said Mr. Allyn, who {s director of the Westfield Testing and research laboratories, and who took as his topic, “Progress in Foods.” In | speaking of compressed food tablets, he said there never would be a time when people would live dn concen- trated foods for any length of time, because of difficulties in digesting them. Oxidation Of Foods Mr. Allyn gave a description of the oxidation process of foods in the stomach and said that certain kinds of food, after they are “butned out,” leave behind an ash. Meat and cer- cals leave an ash that is acid; fruit and vegetables leave an alkalitk ash. selecting foods so that the ash will not be over acid. Many cases of rheumatism and muscular twinges, come from an acid stomach due to the afflicted person cating too much meat, according to the speaker. Old Favorites In Disgrace Ham sandwiches were among the foods described by the expert as be- ing over acid, and even the old fash- ioned breakfast dish of buckwheat cakes and sansage, he said were apt to induce rheumatic pains upless their dangerous qualities were neutralized by the addition of a baked potato, a juicy grapefruit or some other appe- tizing fruit or vegetable. Eat a Few Lemons Strange as it may appear, the best remedy for an over acid stomach, ac- cording to Mr. Allyn, is to drink some lemon juice or to eat a ripe lemon. Through some mysterious process the lemon juice becomes alkaline in the stomach Talking Back To The Corned Beef In order to forestall the deadly ef- fects of a dose of corned beef, or the pangs of rheumatism or neuritis which may follow an indiscriminate jag on baked, boiled or fried ham, the speaker admonished his hearers to nse as a pre-antidote a little old- fashioned household vinegar with the meat. “Eat more fruit and vege- tables and less meat and cereals,” said White Flour And Rice Are Bad Bleached, or pure white flour, is very bad, he informed his hearers and white or polished rice will pu lyze a pigeon in 14 days. Rrown rice or unpolished rice, on the other hand, contains many nourishing qualities. Vitamines make the food value, lie in the outer coat of the grain, which is missing in the polished rice. Curing Neuritis And Scurvy Neuritis may be cured by eating yeast cakes, if you can keep them down,” he stated. Seurvy, once the bane of a sailor's life, has been cured by a diet of raw petatoes. Lime or .(not unripe) will The theory of a balanced ration is in| | he ! J. J. Sweeney Adjuster Selling Stock green \egerables,‘ send this affliction lemon juices and into the discard. ‘While there may be some advan-| tage in so-called vitamine tablets, ac- cording to the speaker, a good many of them have no potency whatever. To get the proper vitamines, a person must have a properly balanced menu. Baked Potatoes “There is as little known about the | vitamines as there is about electricity. We know its effects and how to get it, | and that 's about all we know,” he| said. | Potatoes pared thick are of little| value, but a baked potato is good with | meat. Bran or middlings are potent| carriers of the factor which relieves neuritis, constipation, etc P Non-Alcoholic Extracts A question was asked concerning the value of tube flavoring extracts. ‘l have never seen a genwine flavor- ing extract in tube form, tube flavors seem almost always adulterated. I doubt the possibility of making them without alcohol,” said the speaker. “Cabbage is the most potent in vi- tamines of any vegetable,” he said. The question was asked:Mr. Allyn if pasteurized milk was nourishing “Pasteurizing, at the regular pasteur- izing point of 140 degrees,” he said, “will kill all the vitamines unless milk is pasteurized in a plant which uses the coiled equipment, where the milk is not exposed to the air while undergoing pasteurization.” A “balanced” lunch was served in the dining hall to orchestra music.
