HEADED BY DR.. FOWLER
Sullivan, Watson, Hacker and
Healy Appointed.

The Commissioners today created q
board, composed Of various depart

could be taken to eliminate unsightIy
conditions in alleys that cannot be
reached under the sanitation laws.
Health Officer William C. Fowler
will be chairman of the board, aided
by the following: Maj. Daniel Sulli-
van, superintendent of police; George
s. Watson, fire chief; Morris Hacker,
supervisor of refuse; John p. Healy,
building inspector, and one lawyer to
be chosen from the corporation coun-
sells Office.
The appointment of the board is a.
result of the tour of inspection of the
alleys made by the Commissioners
few days ago.

In recommending the action to his
colleagues. Engineer Commissioner
Bell said:
'The alley inspection showed that
while the alleys themselves are in,
fairly good condition, the backwards
adjacent are in many places full OF
trash and Uttered up with unsightly
SHEDS and fences. 1t does not seem
to be entirely clear what can be
done to eliminate trash where no
strictly insanitary conditions are
found.
Il suggest that a temporary COM
mittee be appointed to look into the
matter and recommend any action
that seems practicable. 1t would ap-
pear that the health officer or one Of
his assistants should be chairman of
this committee, and that there should
be representation from the fire de-
partment. police, street cleaning,

Radio Tube Control
 Claimed by DeFmest

New York, Feb. 25.--were it not for the intervention by Lee De Forest of the three-electrode vacuum tube, there would be no broadcast radio re- ception today.
 This is the conclusion made here from a statement by Charles Gilbert, vice-president of the De Forest Radio Telegraph & Telephone company, 10 clear up points in litigation between his company and the Radio Corpora ton of America.
 According to Gilbert. the vacuum tubes sold today by the R. c. A. are licensed under De Forest patents, and the litigation concerns merely a phase of marketing the tubes.
 The De Forest company. he says, will continue 10 manufacture it's own tubes.

his hand. He wrapped this in soil ed handkerchief and continued work. On the following morning, his hand was swollen but no~ one knew just what to do for it. Infection spread and when the patient arrived at the hospital, it was necessary to amputate the arm. In another instance, a sailor cut his finger. A well meaning but inexperienced officer applied pure carbolic acid. When the patient ar rived at the hospital, the finger was gangrenous. and had to be amputated Many sailore suffer fractures on board ship. during storms. and because no one on board has the slightest idea of first aid. the bones knit in mal-posi- ton with a consequent shortening of the limb for life: sometimes fractures, where the bones are exposed, are treated by untrained members of a crew as severe lacerations with re- suits that can well be imagined.
 The following three very important features are considered indispensable to the proper treatment of sick per sons on ships at sea without physi- clans:
 Medical advice by radio.
 Knowledge of first aid by ships of- flcers.
 A standard medicine chest.
 The first item has been described and is in effect: the public health service now conducts 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 before H. cense is granted. So. eventually, all of the above mentioned oiIicers Of a ship will be able to give intelligent first aid treatment.
 4 standard medicine chest has been designed by the public health service, and n model with the contents pre- scribed therefor included, was recent ly exhibited at the marine congress and exposition, held ct the Grand Central Palace, New York city, the week of November [, 1923. 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 vessels generally. The public health service will lend its full support to the move. mont designed to make obligatory the use of this chest, the presence of which on board ship means so much to the American sailor.

GOVT. CONTROL
 OF BR0ADCASTING
People Some Day to Dictate
 Program It Is Foretold

Brooklyn. N. T.. Feb. 25.--The only way radio listeners can safely control the class of programs broadcast i, through fsderal adoption of this form of entertainment.
 Thus only. says Alex Eisemann radio manufacturer and former presi. dent of the National Radio Chamber of Commerce, will the public be able to express its preference for what ever it likes to hear by radio.
 Tn years to come" Eisemann pre- diets, the campaign literature of can didates for office will contain among the prediction promises assurances that the new man or woman, if elect ed, will supply better broadcasting than his or her predecessor"
 But before this eventually, he says must come the federal adoption of radio broadcasting, maintained by a special radio reception tax. This will become a necessity. he goes on, and only those broadcasters will survive who will be repaid financially for their services.
 Those stations which are making a charge for the use of their plants" says Eisemann, ''are today furnish ing the highest quality Of entertain ment This is the only kind of braoadcasting that will develop real and lasting public interest in the art.
 w'It appears to be unsafe to hope for a continuation of good broad casting unless the broadcasters are properly compensated. Ii is aui Q within the bounds of reason to sug- gest that a federal tax be placed on all receiving sets, based on the num- Der of vacuum tubes. The tax need be nominal. but multiplied by mill lions of receiving sets. a substantial fund could be thus guaranteed for the maintenance of powerful federal stations operated strictly in accord ance with the wishes of the people.
 We can hardly appreciate too keenly," Eisemann concludes, the marvellous romance of this new means of communication. Its power for good OF. evil is tremendous. A newspaper can readily be held responsible for anything that it publishes, but the words of broadcasters melt away and no record is made.
 Tt would appear, therefore, that the ultimate controlling agency in each station should be governmental"

MEDICAL ADVICE
 OVER AIR ROUTES
Standard Medicine Chest for Ships at Sea Advocated

Washington, Feb. 2sr-The great humanitarian service Of medical ad- vice by radio to ships at sea which has proved a success has disclosed some very interesting facts which are set forth by Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming, U. $. public health service. Dr. Cumming, who favors the adop- ton of 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 board ship.
 We all have, no doubt, experienced the anxiety of waiting for a, doctor to answer call in the night time. The minutes seemed like hours Consider though, the captain of vessel one thousand miles out at sea, no physi- clan on board. and one of the crew desperately i'll. What would have happened to that seaman in the olG days when hardened sea dogs, synH pathetic but helpless because of Jack of training, could dos no more than leave their sick companions to their fate. In those days. sick sailor was lucky if he escaped ..Dayy Jones' locker" That same captain today would send out a wireless message to +the nearest U. & marine hospital de- scrlbing the sick mans condition and asking for advice. A reply is shortly received telling in simple language what to do and how to do it.
 Many interesting cases have occur red since this novel way of treating the sick at sea was started by the public health service through it's marine hospitals. In one instance a freighter nearing the port of Balti- more developed engine trouble. While at anchor, off the. uninhabited stretch of coast, one of her crew fell through an open hatchway and suffered fracture of the les. The radio was brought into play and the message picked up by station at Cape May, N. ]. The station advised the marine hospital at Baltimore by long distance telephone giving the location of the ship. The hospital sent back word through the Cape May station that an ambulance would be sent immediately with doctor to the place where the disabled ship lay, which was some 5 or 20 miles from the hospital. The doctor directed the removal of the seaman from ship to shore and took him to the hospital.
 Because of its duty to take care of sick and injured seamen, the public health service has constantly worked to provide some intelligent first aid aboard ship to relieve suffering and prevent complications which so fre- quently follow untreated injuries. Many scamen have died, others have suffered neediessiy and stiil others have been disabled for life, because of the lack on board ship and because there was no one on board to aid the sick who han any training in tho rudimehtary principles of first aid. Some cases, picked at random: A man on a cattle boat scratched the back of

It is composed mainly of two boards, wound with primary and sec ondary coils, and the connections are made in the space between the boards, before tho boards are placed together and the set hooked up.
