Observers who have witnessed the experiments in Paris say that the effect is weird, with the body of the patient a luminous, transparent red, the vivid red lights staining the hands and face of the operating surgeon to crimson, and causing a great circle of red on the ceiling, broken by the moving black shadows of surgeon and nurse aS they bend over the body of the patient.

At 10 o'clock last night the
Brunswick Company deserted the
ever.thinlxing ranks Of the anti.
broadcasters and went out on the
air with the most brilliant hour Of
music ever directed into 4 micro.
phone.
The event was epochal for radio.
With one excsption--Anna Cases
singing Of "The 9tar.Spangled Ban.
ner' during the Democratic con.
vention--the Brunswick Hour Oe
Music was the first broadcast OF 70
citals by stars Of the Metropo
Grand Opera Company.
In addition to these stars. Maston
and ChaTnlee, the Brunswick Com
pany added Ella Ney, famed con-
cert pianist. and the Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra.
Cast In minor, but none the less
important, roles were Michael Frad.
kin, viollnist, and an orchestra al.
rected by Henry Rogers.
There were no strings tied to tho
compromise of the Brunswick peo-
pie with radio. Their acceptance
Of broadcasting as q capable hand
maiden to musical art was carried
out in THE grand Manner
carefully planned and excellently
balanced program wired through
the ethereal circuit to six leading
stations.
There were no blatant advertise
ments to detract from the beauty
Of the performance. The announce
mente were made gently by . wan
who knew the value Of the thing
he was doing. The request for
adverse criticism or notes Of APP
probation was tactfully expressed
and enunciated.

LUMBER FIRE E
 UNDER CONTROL
Two Bremen Are Overcome By Fumes From Burning Dime
 In Building

Two firemen became i'll from breath, ing theA lime fumes which poured out of the North Birmingham Lumber com pany fire, officially pronounced "coH quered' by department heads at 4:3d o'clock Monday afternoon.
 These men, Capt. J. R. Jones of the Norwood station, and Lieut. F. N. Pin from No. 5, were forced from the front lines of the fire fighters to receive medical attention. sr
 Damage to the plant was estimated at around $50,000 by Fire Chief Akin,
 The loss, due to "a constant vigil by firemen under the leadership of Chief Akin over a 15-hour shift, was confined to one large warehouse con taining lime and tar, and several ad- jacent stacks of lumber. About one. third of the material of the plant was destroyed, it was estimated.
 Besides the intense lime fumes, lack of fire-hydrants, but two being avail. pered the work of the men. '
 Although under control about an hour after appartus from three sta tions arrived on the scene at 12:3u o'clock Monday morning, the lumber and tar continued to shoulder throughout the day.
 R. A. Adams, manager of the ceui- pany, stated Monday night that none of the wood working machinery of the plant was seriously damaged. What damage there was done can be repaired by the end of the week or at the end of two weeks at the outside, he said.
 Contracts will be filled and busi. ness will go on as usual in spite of the losses that Have been sustained, he stated.

CLUB MEMBERS IN
 BONUS DISCUSSION
Frank Dixon Explains Adjusted |'. Compensation

Both sides of the soldier bonus ques- ton were discussed at the meeting of the Exchange club held Monday aft ernoon in. the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel.
 Jelks H. Cabaniss, local attorney and member of the American Legion presented the arguments against the payment of q bonus to ex-service men and Frank M. Dixon, local attorney and former commander of the docal American Legion post, presented the arguments In favor of the bonus.
 Mir. Caba1iiss declared that if debt were due the ex-service men it should be paid regardless of the condition oi the treasury However, be contended that the payment of a bonus was moi proper and that the government should conserve its resources so that at some future day when ex-service men be. came disabled or sunable to care foI themselves for various causes, the gov ernment would not consider that its obligation to these ex-seryice men was paid and that those who were in need of assistance should then be cared for by the government.
 He pointed out the fact. that it was the custom of the government to pay pensions to all ex-seryice men who be- came disabled and unable to care for themselves.
 MT. Dixon spoke for the bonus ad vocates and declared that cash bonus was not provided in the present plan, except in cases where the total amount due was less than $50, and he pointed out that under no circumstances would this small sum paid in cash interfere with economic conditions in the south or anywhere else. He ridiculed the fig ures presented by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who declared at one time that the nation was facing deficit of ,$650, 100000 and later that a. sur plus of $3OO,OO0,OO0 existed.
 MT. Dixon declared that the adjusted compensation was to take the place of a pension system, which, he stated, was wrong in theory.
 Two new members were introduced at the meeting, R. B. Clark of R. B. Clark & Company, brokers, and. c. E. Abbott, general manager of mines and quarries of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railway company.
 J. Frank Watson won the attendance prize donated by Dr. R. c. Nelson.

Musgrove And Underwood Bom' bard Poor Voters With ;. M Literature \ \
(sTATE CAPITAL BUREAUJ

Tta t. .7llf7- ft
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 3.--A considerablesfalfng off in the volume of mail moving from the Montgomery post office is expected after the close of the present week, when the Underwood, Musgrove campaign has drawn to its close, and the daily diffusion of cam. paign print has ceased. 2 Headquarters of both candidates here have been un. usually active as the campaign draws to a close and a barrage has been laid down over, Alabama in efforts to drive the- opposition to cover, arouse the in. terest and win the support of the voters.
 The present campaign indicates that Twentieth century political campaigns like other forms of modern warfare have largely changed from what they used to be. The old fashioned stump speaker who pointed with pride and viewed with alarm is apparently becom. ing obsolete and in his place the subtle printed word, called literature if you like it and propaganda if you don't, is largely relied upon. Just as the sub marine and gas have come into use in armed conflicts of nations, so the polit- ical hand bill and the advertisement blazoned in the press is counted upon more and more to win support for can didates.
 At any rate, the Montgomery post office has been doing a rushing busi. ness with the volume of campaign ap. peals sent. through it, and if the per. centage of hits scored among the cit. izens of Alabama by the artillery being unlimited here is anything like the volume of ammunition used, there may be a heavier vote on March II than some expect.
 The fact that the primary of March II is devoted strictly to voting on pres idential candidates with no local side shows. for aspirants to anything less than the White House, is expected to adversely affect the volume of the vote.
