» MEDICAL ADVIGE | OVER AIR ROUTES Sudurd Welie Chest Tr Ships at Sea Advocated | Washington, Feb, The great humanitarian service of medical ad- vice by radio to ships at sea which lias proved a success has disclosed | some very interesting facts which are set forth by Surgeon General Hugh 8. Cumming, U. 8. public health service, | Dr, Cumming, who favors the adop- | tion of a standard medicine chest by all American vessels, of sufficient size, | which do not carry physicians on board, explains that medical treat- ment by radio is partly dependent upon the adequacy of medicine on! hoard ship. We all have, no doubt, experienced the anxiety of waiting for a. doctor to amswer a call in the night time, The minutes seemed like hours. though, the captain of a vessel one thousand miles out at sea, no physi- cian on board, and one sf the crew ¢ desperately ill. What would have happened to that scaman in the of\'nm-u this by Mrs. hought a erystal | days when hardened sta dogs, synf- pathetic but heiplcss bécause of iack of training, could d¢ mo more than leave their sick companions to their fate. In those days, a sick sailor was | lucky if he escaped “Davy Jones'| locker,” That same captain today | would send out a wircless message to he nearest U. 8. marine hospital de- | scribing the sick man’s condition and | asking for advice. A reply is shortly | received telling in simple language | what to do and how to do ity ! Many interesting cases have occur. | red since this novel way of treating lung when the patient arrived at th the sick at sea was started by the | public health service throngh its| marine hospitals. In one instance, a freighter nearing the port of Bailti- | “more developed engine trpuble. While | at anchor, off the uninhabited stretoh | of coast, one of her crew fell through | an open hatchway and suffered a | fracture of the leg. The radio was brought into play and the message plcked up by a station at Capg May, N. J. The station advised the marine hospital at Baltimore by long distance | telephone glving the location of the ship, The hospital sent back word | through the Cape May station that an ambulance would be sent immediately with a doctor to the place where the disabled ship lay, which was some 15 or 20 miles from the hospital. The dogtor directed the removal of the » scaman from ship to shore and took him to the hospital. Because of its duty to take care of sick and injured scamen, the publje health service ham constantly worked to provide some intelligent first ald aboard ship togpelieve suffering and prevent complichtions which so fre- quently follow untreated injuries. Many seamen have dled, others have suffered needlessly and still others | have been disabled for life, becauso of the lack on board ship and because there was no one on board to aid the slok who hafl any trgining in the . rudiméftary principles of first' aid. © Some cases, picked at random: A man on a cattle boat scratched the back of | One Thin Woman Gained 10 Pounds in ZE_Days Skinny Men Can .

In another instance, a sailor cut his finger. A well meaning but inexperienced officer applied pure carbolic_acid.

A standard medicine chest, The first ilem has been described and is in cffect; the public health of service now conduets lectures and ex. | aminations in the principles of first {aid for the benefit of all applicants for original license as master, mate, pilot or engineer, who are required to acquire this knowledge bofore a Il cense Is granted, So, eventually, all of the ubove mentioned officers of a |ship will be able to give intelligent | ywoy first ald treatment. A standard medicine chest has been designed by the public health serviee, and a model with the contents p scribed therefor included, was recent. ly exhibited at the mnrine congress and exposition, held at the Grand Central Palace, 'w York ecity, week of November 6, 192 This model was the center of great inter- est and was received with much en- thusiasm by representatives of steam- ship lines and the officers of vessely generally. The public health service mant designed to make obligatory the usc of this chest, the presence of which on beard ship means so much to the American sailor. Radio Tube Control Claimed by DeForest New York, Feb. 25.—~Wére it aot for the intervention by Lee De Forest of the three-electrode vacuum tube, there would be no broadcast radio re- | ception today. THs is the conclusion mafle here from a statement by Charles Gilbert, vice-president of the De Iorest Radio Telegraph & Telephone company, to clear up points in litigation between his company and the Radio Corpora- tion of America. According to Gilbert, the tubes sold today by the It A. are licensed under De Forest patents, and the litigation concerns mercly a phase of marketing the tubes. The De Forest company, he says will continue to manufacture tubes. vacuum e BATTERIES Only PREST-O-LITE owners know the real results which can be ob- tained by their outfits.

This will ['become a necessity, he goes on, and 'only those broadcasters will survive | for who will_be repaid | their seryices. | “Thos® stations which ure making ta-charge for the use of their plants,” | says Eisemann, “are today furnis ing the highest quality entertain- ment, This is the oniy kind of Mhracadcasting that will develop a real ! and lasting public interest in the art. ‘It appears to be unsafe to hope or a continuation of good broad- casting unless the broadcasters are | properly compensated.
