|kIWAN!ANS HEAR REEFS;
MATHEWS TALKS ABOUT
RADIO BROADCASTING

1--WE do not inherit disease" Geclar-
ed Arthur D. Rees, chautauqua speak
er before the Kiwanis club, Tuesday
There exists today $500 diseases and
If these were inherited we could not
live.
"A professor of Harvard says there
is no natural old age. Some restr1c-
ton of the human system and i'm
perfection makes old age. The vital
organs are immortal, as has been
proven by science. We look at q
flower held in our hand, look at the
roots and wonder the power involved
by God
Mr. Rees continued to explain that
it has been explained that If the
human being lived perfectly he wotld
live forever.
Seek Long Life
1--WE want more life, we even pant
for it. 1t is our tendency to mechanl-
calize everything of today to preserve
ourselves We have the radio which
brings to US music without effort
The same source of science conveys
clever stories to our ears without et-
fort on our part, and it even brings
to US the market report, thus doing
away with any inconvenience IN this
manner"
Mr.. Rees referred to radio quite
frequently in his talk. after he had
listened to a talk on radio by R. H.
Mathews, of Chicago, an engineer al
the Chicago radio laboratories.
Mr.. Mathews, after explaining
many of the more advanced purposes
of radio, expressed himself pleased
with hearing the broadcasting which
is made by the Palladium radio set
each evening.
Mr. Mathews said, 81 listened in on
radio program of the Palladium re-
Gently and was thoroughly pleased
with the quality of the program which
was given. The Palladium was third
installing high class radio broad
casting station in the United States
and it is a thing to be proud of
Whoever was responsible for the in
stallation of the set at the Palladium
deserves credit" said Mr.. Mathews

of crippled equipment by the rail
roads.
Most of the wrecks reported are
due to sharp flanges or defective
brakes" he continued. Sharp or
broken flanges cause an engine to ride
the rails. 1t is customary, when quail
fled inspectors are employed, for them
to report such defects. The tires OF
the engine are then trued up or the
car wheels adjusted before the rolling
stock is allowed to proceed.

many roads showing that not i've per-
cent of the usual number OF wheels
have been replaced since July l, and
lack of inspection places the whole
burden of rejecting defective wheels
upon the train crew. The pubic mas
little conception of the debt which 1t
owes to the transportation who at the
risk of mourning the displeasure OF
their employees have refused to take
out defective engines and cars.
"The Michigan Central has hastily
patched up an explanation to place the
blame for loss of life upon the strlk-
ing shopmen instead OF on the rail-
road where it belongs. This was more
easy because the engine crew was kill

to the defective condition of the loco
