PLANS DOZEN SPEECHES
Bryan Of For Illinois, Ohio And Indiana This Week Will Be a Strenuous One For Him.
By The Assoclated Prcss.

By The Associated Press.
 St, Louis, Oct 20. - Primed for battle, Governor Charles W. Bryan, democratic candidate for vice -presi- dent, left here early today, facing a strenuous schedule of an even dozen speeches in Illinois. Ohio and In- diana-his first program of speaking dates east of the Mississippi river since the beginning of the campaign.
 According to those being consult cd on the itinerary, there is a possl- bility that additional places may be sandwiched in between most of the fixed dates.
 Today's schedule called for speeches at Waterloo, Sparta and Murphysboro, H., the route 10 be trareled mostly by automobile. As his itinerary was routed through small towns in farming and coal mining sections, Mir. Bryan said his speeches would deal largely with ag- riculture and labor questions.
 Failure to obtain hall in Middle town, Ohio, home of James Nj. Cox, democratic presidential candidate four years ago, has nscessitated a change back to the original plans, calling for a speech by Governor Bryan at Canton Thursday.

DEATH RATE LESS. BUT FATALITIES INCREASE

The death rate 9f the United States is low and g2fins lower The toll of disease is being constantly decreased.
 But the death rate in other re- poets is not so promising.
 There were more than 5000 mur- ders last year.
 The death toll on highways, due to reckless .automobiIing, was more than 22,o0o in 1923.

MANS NEW CONQUEST MAY
 UNLOCK TOO MUCH

Man has made a pretty thorough conquest of the air during the life time of the present generation, but there Is one conquest yet to be made which at least promises much maybe too much.
 Man is attempting to release the energy of the atom.
 This sounds relatively harmless; it is only when & conception of the principles involved is understood that the enormity of the attempt dawns on the imagination.
 For if this can be done there is reasonable hope of providing all necessary power for all purposes, according to such scientists who have given the subject thought.
 AS nearly everyone nowadays is aware, the atom is regarded as a miniature solar system, with parti- cles which roughly represent planets revolving around central point; and the particles are relatively as far apart as the planets of our so- lar system are from the sun. Enor- nous energy is believed bound up in every atom. and 1t is the belief of scientists that there is reason- able promise of releasing this energy from sufficient atoms to run engines and provide power to do all the work of mankind.
 Dr. Gerald l.. Wendt, head of the department of physics and chem istry at Pennsylvania State College, has been one of the leaders in this endcavor. He says the release of this energy would result in vir- tual reconstruction of civilization and would make the world inde- pendent of coal and oil deposits hydro-electric and every other form of power known at present. Other scientists agree with him.
 But what they also agree about is that to get at the source of this energy is enormously difficult; but no more difficult today than the conquest of the air appeared 2O or 30 years ago
 And another thing they also agree about is that once released, such power might be difficult to control. Lightning might be child's play compared with the result of too many atoms getting untangled at the same time.
 In order 10 get at the secret ot atomic energy, Dr. Wcndt says he has been using a temperature of Go000 degrees Fahrenheit. This reads easily but is better under stood by a comparison with the tomporature on the sun, which is estimated at being only 10000 de- grces Fahrenheit, and the hottest star we know of is estimated at 4o,- coo degrees To obtain the 60,000 degree temperature electricity of 100. 900 volts is used. it is declared. T have reasonable grounds for the belief that I will be able to unlock atomic energy remarks the scientist. Theoretically 1t is here, but it is possible that there may be something wrong with the theory"
 We'll wait and see, and at the same time hope the scientist makes no egregious blundcr calculated to unlock too -tnuch energy all al once. Scientists have been fooling with atoms for several years, an6 with 100, ,o00 volts of current tung- stcn wire in q vacuum tnbe has been transformed into hclium, which exists in large quantities on i the sun,

RAD|ACS
MacMiIIan's Nightly Programs
Are Enjoyed by Polar
Visitors.

The Macmillan exploration party
now somewhere in the Polar re-
gions" keeps in touch with the
United States and home largely
through the medium of WJAZ. the
broadcasting station Of the Edge
water Beach Hotel, Chicago.
The Zenith station was chosen be-
cause of its favorable location due
to climatic conditions and terres'
trial magnetism.
Every Wednesday night at mid
night WJAZ favors the little band
OF adventures with a special pro
gram, which includes messages
from relatives and a complete digest
of all the news of the world.
Program Become Habit.
The regular nightly programs OF
the station have become a habit
with the party, according to word
recently received. Other stations
which have been heard by the party
with clarity are California stations
and one in Hawaii.
On Christmas eve a Christmas
program for the benefit of the ex.
plorers was arranged by the Edge
water Beach station, and among the
features was the appearance before
the microphone of Mrs. Letitia
Pogg, DR.. MacMillan's sister, and
two Of his nieces, who delivered
messages from themselves and other
relatives and friends Of the party.
Programs Acknowledged.
Every Wednesday night program,
including that of Christmas eve,
has been acknowledged by DIR. Mac
MILAN. The messages Of acknowl-
edgment are sent usually on Thurs
day morning and are relayed to
Chicago from one Of the northern
Canadian stations.
The Wednesday night programs
besides furnishing news and enter
tainment for the party are enjoyed
regularly by Esquimaux visitors ~
the Macmillan ship. Several re.
ceiving stations also have been OBJ
tanned by the northern peoples and
the music of the United States is
becoming known in the Arctic.
That the Macmillan programs are
heard not only by the members of
the exploration party, however, is
evidenced by the piles Of letters
which arrive from remote places at
the enith-Edgewater Beach station,
commenting upon the entertain
ment and news bulletins.
Among the letters received is one
from a farmer thirty miles from
the nearest post office.
Keep up the weekly news to
Macmillan, and be sure to let us
know when another war starts"
the letter stated.
