New Radio Gets
Two Signals on
Same Frequency
Gives Aviators Weather
and Direction at Once
PITTSBURGH. — New radio
aid for commercial aviation is un¬
der test here which consists of the
transmission of both voice and
radio range signals on the same
frequency. The two sets of sig¬
nals are received simultaneously
In an airplane—directional signals op¬
erating a needle pointer on the instru¬
ment panel and the voice signals be¬
ing received in 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 had to
be interrupted for the other.
Needs Required Interruptions.
The limited number of frequency
channels available and the need for
the simplest possible receiving equip¬
ment required such interrupted service
in the past. With both weather and
range directions on the same fre¬
quency, the pilot did not need to
change dial settings on his receiver.
The old system, while simple, had
its handicaps. If a pilot was flying
blind and attempting to locate an air¬
port, it was disconcerting to have the
directional signals interrupted by a
weather broadcast which told him it
was raining, or fiiggy in his vicinity.
He knew that anyway, otherwise he
would not be jlying blind.
Weather Signals -Delayed Landing.
In a minor aspect the weather sig¬
nals delayed .Ills landing and in a ma¬
jor 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 Us handicaps,
for weather reports might be needed
by other pilots, and planes with re¬
ceivers but no transmitting equipment
might need continuous directional sig¬
nals 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 ex¬
posed to silica dust, the condition
which may cause silicosis, some¬
times called “miners’ phthisis” or “min¬
ers’ consumption,” according to esti¬
mates of the United States public
health service here.
Silicosis may affect not only work¬
ers engaged in rock cutting, as in the
cases reported from Gauley Bridge,
W. Va., which are attracting congres¬
sional notice, hut also those in the
pottery, foundry, sand-blasting, abras¬
ive, 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 sili
cosis, and most of those have it in the
early stage.
Few 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 stagp
of the disease have slight or no dis¬
ability and may never have any dis¬
ability, if placed in suitable surround¬
ings. This does not mean that they
must necessarily change their occupa¬
tion. The surroundings in which they
work can be made “suitable" by elirni
nating 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
witti the third stage of the disease can
improve somewhat in “suitable” sur¬
roundings. The federal health serv
ice knows of no industry at the pres¬
et, time where the conditions causing
silicosis cannot be controlled.
Symptoms of Disease.
In silicosis the lungs, instead of be¬
ing spongy tissues with plenty of space
for the air to circulate, become mottled
witli patches of fibrous tissue which is
dense and prevents the passage of air.
As the disease progresses, the patient
has less and less normal lung tissue
for breathing.
Shortness of breath on exertion and
sometimes a cough are the first-s.vmp
tom of silicosis. In the early stages,
however, the patients often do not
know that they have the disease. They
fee) ail right and are able to go on
working and living normally. They
even may, and frequently do ' gain
weight.

New Methods iir^
War Against
‘Polio’ Paraly^fs
Propose Sodium Alum or
Tannic Acid Nasal Spray
NEW YORK. — A chemical
method of protecting against in¬
fantile 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 acid 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 suf¬
ficient basis for a trial in man of
these chemicals In the prevention of
poliomyelitis during epidemics,” the in¬
vestigators stated.
Where Treatment Originated.
Tannic acid was first suggested as
a suitable chemical for thia 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 hu¬
man volunteers were given nasal treat¬
ment with 4 per cent sodium alum
solution. They suffered no untoward
symptoms other than slight local irri¬
tation and nasal discharge for a few
hours, indicating that the treatment is
safe.
Effective on Monkeys.
It seems very effective in protecting
monkeys against the disease. “Typi¬
cal poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis)
was induced in 26 of 34 untreated
monkeys by the instillation on two oc¬
casions, 48 hours apart, of 1 cc, of a
10 per cent suspension of poliomye¬
litic cords into each nostril,” it was
reported. “The majority of monkeys
treated with either sodium alum or
tannic acid 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 re¬
ceived more than the average amount
of virus. Most of the monkeys treat¬
ed with 3 per cent alum also proved
resistant, while 0.5 per cen. .»nd, 2 per
cent had no effect. Four per cent tan¬
nic acid, 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 nec¬
essary to induce resistance. The re¬
sistance could be maintained over a
period of several weeks by one daily
instillation of the chemical; omitting
the treatment for 4S hours diminished
the number of monkeys that were re
sistant.”
Device Makes Line
Noises Commit Suicide
in Radio Receiver
WEST HARTFORD, CONN.
—Making the troublesome pop¬
ping and cracking line noises in
a radio receiver commit suicide is
the newest method of attack on elimi¬
nating the sounds that appear when
lights in the home are switched on or
off, or the vacuum cleaner put into
operation.
James .1. Lamb, technical editor of
the American Radio Relay League's
magazine QST here, describes how
noise suicide works in the magazine.
Many of the popping and cracking
sounds that come out of the loudspeak¬
er are due to very quick acting dis¬
turbances in tiie radio receiver circuit
which would be fairly harmless ex¬
cept that the loudspeaker picks them
up, starts vibrating' and keeps It up
for an appreciable length of time be¬
cause of its inertia.
Mr. Lamb’s method, which is de¬
scribed 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 signal
amplitude at radio frequency, rectify
them, and use the rectified voltage to
control the gain of a subsequent radio¬
frequency stage, automatically and in¬
stantaneously?”
Which says essentially that the
quick-acting noises will be turned into
a form of current that can be used to
increase the amplification of the re¬
ceiving set and thus raise the sought
for program signals to a loudness that
will mask the popping. In a way the
method is a type of automatic volume
control that acts before the loud speak¬
er can become aware of the oncoming
noise. Noise suicide is another brief
way of saying the same thing.
Don’t Say 1936 but
Forty-Four Squared
STATE COLLEGE, PA. -If
you tire of writing 1936 after dates
during the current year you can
instead write forty-four squared,
or 44' as the mathematician would put
it, says Dr. Donald P. LeGalley of the
physics department at Pennsylvania
State college here.

epsom salts daily for a few weeks, and
the use of bending exercises with

Fresh Air Aids Appetite.
Encouraging the ; thin individual to
get outdoors stimulates the - appetite
as the extra oxygen in the outdoor air
burns up food completely, thus Increas¬
ing the demand for more food. There
is less “clogging” vvaste.s left- in the
intestine for removal.
The building up diet means that
more food than seems to be needed
should be taken daily, and "it should
be “rich” food. The diet shojild in¬
clude plenty of milk, eggs, fresh ani¬
mal proteins, and cereals—vegetable
proteins, as the principal work of the
proteins is building tissue. The daily
use of foods rich in minerals—lime,
iron, phosphorus, and iodine, and also
rich in vitamins, is also very neces¬
sary for building up the body tissues.
The “rich” foods used for body build¬
ing are butter, cream, fat meat, eggs,
sfiiad dressings, bacon, cereals, bread,
sugar, cream soups, peas and beans,
nuts, dried fruits—the exact foods that
are “forbidden” to those wishing to
reduce weight.
Of course any of the above foods—
fat meats, p.astries or rich sauces
which may have a tendency to “dis¬
agree” with the thin individual must
be avoided or used in very small quan¬
tities.
The best proteids are meat, milk,
and eggs, but even eggs disagree with
a considerable number and even milk
with a few.
Foods Rich in Minerals.
Fruit and vegetables are not only
rich in the minerals and vitamins, but
the roughage or fiber in them gently
irritates the lining- of. the large intes¬
tine and stimulates the movement of
wastes, preventing constipation.
Many thin individuals actually have
small stomachs or the stomach may
hang low due to lack of fat supporting
the abdominal organs. This means
that rich foods in small bulk would
be best if they do not disagree.
Thus an extra square of butter at
each meal, plenty of cream, bacon and
salad dressings, with olive oil after
each meal are simple but effective
methods of getting 20 to 30 per cent
more food calories eaten daily.
In institutions where body building
or increased weight is a great part of
the treatment—tuberculosis sanitari¬
ums—extra food is given between
meals and at bed tinfie. The best foods
to use between meals are milk, eggs
and milk—egg nogs, and fruit juices.
Where egg nogs do not agree, beating
up the egg, flavoring with vanilla and
a little sugar and using syphon soda
instead of the milk, will make a drink
that can usually he taken without
difficulty.
Another big point tn putting on
