the 1000 letters and postal cards re.

The country have become interested
in the welfare prisoners through
listening in on the band, and as q

Of HEALTH
Surgeon General Declares
That Radio Has Become Fac
tor in Checking Disease.

Radio is being used more and
more IN the dissemination of health
netVs. Through broddcGsting peo-
pie are being taught to preserve
their physical fitness. Follo4Ving
10 the first of tao articles by an dN-
th0rity on health auh0 discussed the
benefits to be derived by the public
from regular health messages.
BY SURGEON GENERAL HUGH
8. CUMMING,
U. 8. Public Health Service.
Written Expressly for Cosmopolitan
News Service.
Radio has become an important
factor in the dissemination of infor
nation pertaining to health and
disease prevention.
Starting in December. 1921, when
health bulletins were first broad
cast, the transmission of health
messages has grown So popular that
there are now thirty stations re-
leasing our information once each
week. Practically the entire United
States Is being covered by. the serv
ice. Public Health Service lectures
have been made available through
newspapers and through radio &C
approximately $4,000, 900 people.
The advantage in reaching sc
many Of our people each week II
apparent. Untold benefits may re
suit in the end. For one thing
more interest is being created In
the individuals physical well being
The Importance of health is being
! brought to the attention of the pub
lie in an interesting and entertain
, ing way. People will listen to a
health message over the radio whey
| they will hesitate to attend a lee
ture on the same subject.
Great Opportunity.
Thus radio offers to the Public
Health Service an unparalleled op
portunity to render aid to a great
mass Of people hitherto inaccessible
at nominal cost. The increasing
number of Government bureaus
using radio during the past year
is an evidence of the opportunity.
Educational material has come &c
have a definite place in the air
and plenty of evidence Is at hand
that health information released
by radio is having a definite effect
School teachers have copied these
broadcasts and used them in schools
Local organizations have installed
radio receiving sets in auditoriums
Tor the purpose of receiving the in
formation sent out by the Public
Health Service.
The radio service has brought
popular education into remote
regions and has touched a groul
of people hitherto uniformed II
health matters. Take our rural in
habitants, for example. Because
they are in a measure isolated from
community life and the chief social
centers. little opportunity is pro
vlded for keeping abreast of healti
news.
Use OH Farms.
But through the use Of radio w,
are able to keep in regular toucl
with them, the Department OF Agri
culture having recently estimated
that $4,000 receiving sets are |,
use on the farm, with the number
increasing daily.
! The value Of this service Is wei
established, and is measured by tn,
kind and amount of information
disseminated by radio. the denanS
created for publications, the exten
sion of popular health education
based upon the number of peopl,
reached, and the effect of tits in
formation upon conduct.

FRANCE NOT READY
 ID VOICE OPINION
But Is Giving Experts Report
 Careful Study
By The Associated Press.

Paris, April 10.--After twcnty-four hours consideration of the reports of the two expert repsration commit tees spokesmen for official circles to- day declared no formal opinion had been formed of the recommendations contained in the documents. Satis- faction, however, was freely expressed that the experts had found evidence tending to confirm the French atti- tude. regarding Germany.
 It is assumed by the officials that the Dawes report justifies what the French have been saying for three years as to these four points: That Germany was allowing her capital to be sent out of the country, that she was practicing mad prodigality in her budget, that sine was neglecting to impose proper taxation and that she was excessively developing her en- tire industrial installation in fragrant contradiction Of her continued pleas of distress.
 One of the unexpected results of the filing of the reports is to end all talk of an approaching entente con- ference. It is declared at the for eign office that official circles arc ignorant Of any intention by Prime Minister Macdonald Of Great Britain to come to France and are unaware of any tentative suggestion to organize meeting Of the British premier with NJ. Poincare.
 ''The reparation commission has the floor" is the sterotyped reply as 10 what the allied governments are likely to do concerning the experts

plan. The impression given out at the Quai D'Orsay is that there will be no contact between the entente governments or their premiers be- fore the French elections.
 Meanwhile it is thought proba ble that the reparation commission will try to draw out the attitude of the German government and that it will refer the report to the. allied govern mcnts only after it has acquired clear idea as to whether the Berlin government is ready to accept the ex- pcrts' suggestion.
