many outdoor attractions to divert

The last of the indoor concerts by
the Marine and Navy bands. which
have been transmitted through NAA.
were given last week. The Navy
Band will leave the city to accom-
pany President Harding on his
Alaskan trip. Radio fans, however.
probably will have one local band
concert to pick up every week, as
arrangements are being made to
broadcast the programs of the Ma
rine Band at the Sylvan Theater, on
the Monument grounds.
Despite the loss of radio vaude-
willie from WEAS and the famous
band concerts, the dyed-in- the ool
radio fan will cling to his set through
the warm summer nights, needless OF
fractions. And there will be suffi-
cient entertainment in the air for
him, as a vast majority of the broad
casting stations heard in Washing
ton. with the aid of static. will coni
tinue to disturb the ether waves.

Radio Medical Service.
Just year ago the United States
Public Health Service announced that
1t had completed arrangements to ex-
pand the medical aid service to Amer
lean seamen, with which 1t had first
been charged by Congress a century
and quarter ago. by prescribing by
radio for any sailor who might be
taken i'll at sea and who might apply.
Messages for aid were to be for
warded to the service by the ships
radio via the Radio Corporation of
America or the Independent Wireless
Telegraph Company.
The range of disease and mishaps
for which aid has been invoked dur
Ing the first year has been amazing
The list includes appendicitis, asthma,
cramps. diarrhea, earache, eye in
juries, heart disease, hermis. hic-
coughs, influenza, infected teeth, ma
laria, opium poisoning. ptomaine
poisoning and swallowing broken
glass Many of the diagnoses were
made on board ship because sailors
are resourceful in meeting emer-
gencies. Sometimes interchange of
several messages was necessary to OBJ
tain clear information as to the cause of
trouble. Cramps among the crew and
later more cramps and worse ELECTED
the Information that all the sick ate
at a single mess. This known treat
ment of the sick and means of pre-
venting further cases were definitely
outlined
When the patient grows better and

The latest call for help involving
the radio service of the public health
service came not from a ship or a
sailor. but from young man Of
twentyfour who lives in far away
Szechoslovakia. He had read in a
local newspaper service broadcast
about cancer, and at once wrote to
say that he had had cancer of the
nose and throat since he had been
eighteen and to beg the service to tell
him how to get cured"
The service could not tell him how
to get cured; nobody could do that
without seeing him-if then. But it
could and did tell him that he very

cancer of throat, it added. was a
very fatal and rapid disease, which
seldom or never spared a victim for
anything like six years; and. further
more. it was disease of later life
and was very rare in persons as young
as he. 1t advised him to be examined
by competent physician without de-
lay.
The Ships Medicine Chest" a
manual issued by the public health
service and carried by most ships.
prescribes the carrying of standard
stocks of easily applied remedies
This enables the public health serv-
ice physician at the hospital ashore
to prescribe treatment by radio with
the knowledge that the drugs he
specifies are probably in stock on the
vessel.

INSPECTOR SEXES
4,68O MILK BOTTLES

total of 1850 milk bottles were
confiscated and broken up yesterday
by George M. Roberts, superintendent
of weights and measures, who claimed
they were not of proper size.
A week ago Mr. Roberts discovered
another shipment of 1000 bottles.
which he charged were incorrect in
measure, and which were returned to
the shipper.
The bottles destroyed yesterday were
nart of a large consignment recently
received by local dairy. AS soon as
the shipment arrived the dairy, accord
ing to custom, notified the weights and
measures office for an inspection.
Some of the bottles taken as sam
pies, Mr. Roberts said, were found two
or more drains short of quart, which
prompted the superintendent to go
through the entire shipment. Every
case found to average short more than
the allowable variation of one dram
was conf1scated.
The superintendent explained today
that in the manufacture Of such bot
ties it is almost impossible to make
every one exactly the same size. For
that reason, he said. the law provides
for reasonable variations.
There appears to have been no
culpability on the part of any one in
connection with these bottles" said
the superintendent. 1T Is assumed
that the manufacturer simply made a
Supt. Roberts made 1t plain that the
! bottles were not used by the dairy be-

To Put New Mark in Circulation at
Personal Risk.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 12.-Determina-
tion to see the situation through
was the theme OF statement made
by Chancellor Stresemann of Ger
many to the correspondent of the
Daily Express in Berlin. He is quot
ed as having said:
ANY man who undertakes drastic
financial reform must take personal
risks. You remember what hap
pened to the Czechoslovak finance
minister (the allusion being to the
assassination of the minister). But
things In Germany today are quite
impossible.
81 have got to put on the brakes
before the coach falls into the abyss.
1t Is going to be very hard I have
had to struggle ever since / came
into office. In a. few weeks time you
will see the new mark. 1t is no
easy task to introduce a new cur
rency without the Ruhr and the
Rhineland and without the slightest
help from the outside; but we must
have a new mark, and the people
must have confidence in II, for 1t will
be backed by industrial and real es-
tate mortgages.
D"At the beginning we. shall have
three sets of currencieS-the paper
mark. the new mark and the gold
mark. The paper mark will be grad
ually absorbed"
