The two sets of signals are received simultaneously in an airplane—directional signals operating a needle pointer on the instrument panel and the voice signals being received tn headphones. The new development solves the problem, existing for some time, that directional beacon signals and the weather reports went out on the same radio frequency, and thus one bad to be interrupted for the other. Needs Required Interruptions. The limited number of frequency channels available and the need for the simplest possible receiving equipment required such interrupted service In the past With both weather and range directions on the same frequency, the pilot did not need to change dial settings on his receiver. The/old system, while simple, had Us handicaps. If a pilot was flying blind and attempting to locate an airport, It was disconcerting to have the directional signals Interrupted by a weather broadcast which told him it was raining or foggy in his vicinity. He knew that anyway, otherwise be would not be flying blind. Weather Signala Delayed Landing. In a minor aspect the weather signals delayed, his landing and In a major case might delay him at a time when the celling at the airport was lowering to zero-zero conditions. Before the new development the bureau of air commerce sometimes postponed weather Information for a short while and kept the directional signals on the air continuously when requested by pilots. This system also had Its handicaps, for weather reports might be needed by other pilots, and planes with receivers but no transmitting equipment might need continuous directional signals and not be able to request them. The new development of receiving two signals on the same frequency solves all these problems. More Than 1,000,000 Persons in America Are Exposed to Silicosis WASHINGTON.—More than one million Americans are exposed to silica dust, the condition which may cause silicosis, sometimes called “miners’ phthisis” or “miners* consumption,” according to estimates of the United States public health service here. Silicosis may affect not only workers engaged In rock cutting, as in the eases reported from Gauley Bridge, W. Va., which are attracting congressional notice, but also those in the pottery, foundry, sand-blasting, abrasive. granite, tool -and ax grinding, glass, slate, silica grinding and mining Industries. Not all those exposed to the dust get the disease, however. Probably one-fourth of any large group exposed to the dust at any one time have silicosis, and most of those have it In the early stage. Fsw Die of It. Very few people die of silicosis. Silicosis patients usually die of some infection, particularly tuberculosis, to which they are especially susceptible. Men having silicosis In the first stage of the disease have slight or *no disunity and may never have any dlsibility. If placed in suitable surroundings. This does not mean that they must necessarily change their occupation. The surroundings In which they work can be made “suitable" by eliminating the silica dust from the air in which they work, or by reducing It to a safe limit Men suffering from the disease In its second stage can improve materially, and even those suffering with the third stage of the disease can improve somewhat tn “suitable” surroundingß The federal health service knows of no industry at the present time where the conditions causing silleoMa cannot be controlled. Symptoms of Disease. In silicosis the lungs, instead of being spongy tissues with plenty of space for the air to circulate, become mottled with patches of fibrous tissue which is dense and prevents the passage of air. La the disease progresses, the patient (has less and less normal lung tissue {tor breathing. Shortness of breath on exertion and fometimee a cough are the first symptom of silicosis. In the early stages, however, the patients often do not know that they have the disease. They eel all right and are able to go on working and living normally. They -veo may. and frequently do gain weight It is when tuberculosis or some other infection sets in that the patients begin to lose weight and feel badly. ,x • To prevent silicosis the United States public health service recommends a combination of measures, no me alone being successful. These preventive,measures are: methods es control of the dust at its source; good ventilation to dilute the amount of silica dust in the air; and physical examlmtiona of the workers at the beginning of employment and periodically thereafter, to detect the presence > of tuberculosis.

New Methods in War Against ‘Polio’ Paralysis Propose Sodium Alum or Tannic Acid Nasal Spray NEW YORK.— A chemical method of protecting against infantile paralysis, recommended for trial in the next epidemic*of this dread disease, was reported by Drs. A. B. Sabin, P. K. Olitsky and H. R. Cox of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. The method consists in dropping or spraying into the nose solutions of either sodium alum or tannic add In suitable strength. The chemicals seem to act as a shield against the disease, by keeping the causative virus from entering the body and reaching the nerve cells in brain and spinal cord. “Experimentally there is now sufficient basis for a trial in man of these chemicals in the prevention of poliomyelitis during epidemics,” the investigators stated. Where Treatment Originated. Tannic add was first suggested as a suitable chemical for this purpose by Doctors Olitsky and Cox. Sodium was advocated as a result of studies by Drs. Charles Armstrong and W. T. Harrison of the National Institute of Health. United States public health service. Most of the studies were made with monkeys. However, a number of human volunteers were given nasal treatment with 4 per cent sodium alum solution. They suffered no untoward symptoms other than slight local irritation and nasal discharge for a few hours, indicating that the treatment Is safe. Effective on Monkeys. It seems very effqptive in protecting monkeys against the disease. “Typical poliomyelitis (Infantile paralysis) was induced In 26 of 34 untreated monkeys by the instillation on two occasions, 48 hours apart, of 1 cc, of a 10 per cent suspension of poliomyelitic cords into each nostril,” It was reported. “The majority of monkeys treated with either sodium alum or tannic add for a number of days prior to the Instillation of virus were distinctly resistant to poliomyelitis. Only two of 20 monkeys treated in that manner with 4 per cent sodium alum developed the disease, and these were in a group which apparently received more than the average amount of virus. Most of the monkeys treated with 3 per cent alum also proved resistant, while 0.5 per cent and 2 per cent had no effect. Four per cent tannic add, although used in a smaller series, was also effective, while 0.4 per cent and 0.8 per cent were not.» "Treatment with alum for at least a few days prior to Infection was necessary to Induce resistance. The resistance could be maintained over a period of several weeks by one dally Instillation of the chemical; omitting the treatment for 48 hours diminished the number of monkeys that were resistant.” Device Makes Line Noises Commit Suicide in Radio Receiver WEST HARTFORD, CONN. —Making the troublesome popping and cracking line noises in a radio receiver commit suicide is the newest method of attack on eliminating the sounds that pppear when lights tn the home are switched on or off, or the vacuum cleaner put into operation. James J. Lamb, technical editor of the American Radio Relay League’s magazine QST here, describes how noise suicide works in the magazine Speaker Picks Up Noises. Many of the popping and cracking sounds that come out of the loudspeaker are due to very quick acting disturbances in the radio receiver circuit which would be fairly harmless except that the loudspeaker picks them up, starts vibrating and keeps it up for an appreciable length of time because of its inertia. Mr. Lamb’s method, which Is described in full detail for his technical audience. Is based essentially on the following line of reasoning. He says: “Why not amplify the noise peaks extending above the desired signaU amplitude at radio frequency, rectify! them, and use the rectified voltage to. control the gain of a subsequent radio-1 frequency stage, automatically and in- 1 stantaneonslyt* Noises Turned Into Current Which says essentially that the • qnick-acting noises will be turned Into a form of current that can be used to; increase the amplification of the receiving set and thus raise the soughtfor program signals to a loudness that will mask the popping. In away the method is a type of automatic volume control that acts before the loud speaker can become aware of the oncoming noise. Noise suicide is another brief way of saying the same thing. While the silencing apparatus is designed particularly for use by radio amateurs working on high frequency bands in the radio spectrum the technique is adaptable for use in the ordinary home radio receiver of the superheterodyne type.

LeGalley of the physics department at Pennsylvania State" college here. This is the first time since 1849 that the year has resulted from a perfect square, and it will not happen again until 2025 A.

SLAVE BADGES AN EXPENSE IN 1834, OLD LAWS REVEAL ▲ study of Charleston’s tax laws shows that although Charlestonians in 1834 did not have to buy auto tags nor pay a gasoline tax, other means were eiSployed by the tax gatherers to get their money. One of these Was the sale of slave badges. Badges or licenses for slaves had to be purchased from the city treasurer in January for the ensuing year and the penalty for hiring out slaves without badges was S2O. The rates for slave badges were published In “A Digest of the Ordinances of the City Council of Charleston from the Year 1783 to October, 1844, to which are Annexed the Acts of the Legislature which Relate Exclusively to the City of Charleston,” prepared under resolution of city council by George B. Eckard. Some of the rates were as follows: Handicraft tradesmen, $7; carter, trayman, porter or day laborer, $4; fishermen, $4; fisherwomen, $2; house servants or washerwomen, $2; seller of fruits, cake or “any article not prohibited," $5. Slaves who wore badges which did not belong to them or which did not specify the particular nature of their employment were to be committed to the workhouse and subject to such corporal punishment as the mayor directed unless the owner paid $2 fine.—New York Times.
