BY Fred Smith


Commercial broadcasting as we
know it in America is not permitted
money in that manner, Taxation,
such as exists in England, Germany
and Switzerland, is not favored, so
he has no hope in that direction.
For the present he must be content
with programs furnished by lAsso-
citation Generate des Auditeurs. This
organization, a national club of ra-
dio listeners, pays the PIT 1000
francs a month for the use of the
station. A committee of the club
prepares the programs, submits
them to M. Chanton, who reviews,
cuts and completes the entire ar
rangement for performances. AS a
result Of this method, the work of
the performers is gratis and they are
practically all amateurs.
The PIT is endeayoring to build
up a system of stations throughout
the country. Already 500-watt Sta
tions are being operated at Lyon,
Toulouse and Marseilles, with An
gers Strassbourg and Lille to be
opened before ain. J.. All of these
are to be connected with Paris by
means Of telephone lines. an easy
matter for this department of the
government.
Telephone Monopoly
One of the chief causes of the
existing unfriendliness between sta
tions in Paris is the monopoly of
telephone lines by the PIT. Radio
Paris cannot obtain lines for re-
mote control work. AS a result, this
station does great deal Of retrans-
mission, picking up programs from
other stations.
Radio-Paris Is managed by
group of energetic and intelligent
business men. Secretary General
Tabouis represents france at the
international Conference at Geneva
The director, M. Vinot, who does
much of the planning of the pro-
grams, introduced me to his friends,
Pierre Cusy and Gabriel Germinet,
who have written a book which is
just ready for publication called
Theatre Radiophonique" These
gentlemen have ambitious plans to
develop the radario and thematic
performances for radio. Already
they have staged several Their
ideal of the radio program, already
known and certain of growth in
America, is the performance writ
ten both in speech and music ex.
pressly for the radio stage.
M. Tabouis, of Radio Paris. told
me Of the International Wireless
Conference to be held at Geneva the
second week in July, so 1 planned
our schedule accordingly, desiring
TO reach Geneva at the close of this
conference, and obtain from A. r.
Burrows, director Of the Office In

plete information concerning the
hopes and ambitions of that organi-
xation. We expect to go to Bel.
gium and Spain after returning to
Paris.

million a week circulation. Pro.
grams for twenty stations go out of
the main office about five weeks
in advance.
Taking tea in the office at four i'm

tional custom observed at the B. ID.
Chat same British patriotism of
which we spoke in the beginning
evidenced itself in a universal en-
thusiasm for this very British insti-

The dominant personality Of J. C.

waves from Calais to Dover. But
every turn of fate seemed to welcome
us with friendly fortune in England.
Three English gentlemen in our
compartment from Paris to Calais
naturally got through the customs
in Dover before we did; yet when we
emerged, one of them was waiting
fer US, saying that they had reserved
places for us with them.
When we came to London one of
them left us for a moment to teie-
phone his wife, and then took us
from Victoria to our hotel. First,
we went by way of bus, looking
down upon the streets from the
upper deck. 1t was the time of
afternoon when thousands were GO
ing homeward Thee streets and
sidewalks were TANNED. Dear old
London was smiling gently in soft
northern sunlight. Our friend took
us several blocks beyond our corner
in order that he might point out
Picedilly, Trafalgar Square and
other sights to us, while l kept
pointing out the aerials upon the
housetops to him. Finally we de-
sCended. He found a taxi for us,
told the driver where to go, and
babe us goodbye. He himself was
returning from a trip out East. He
was happy and proud, and wanted
us to share his enthusiasm for his
beloved country.
was to find this same attitude
later expressed just as earnestly
and quite universally by members
and staff of the British Broadcast
ing Company. Patriotism in this
form is most beautiful, because it is
most constructive.

At the Il. Il. c.

Just as soon as I got into London
I phoned Major Atkinson of the
B. b. c., publicity department, since
it was he who had answered my
letter from America some weeks
before. Thanks to the Major, 1 was
able to visit the station and go all
over the buildings, from office to
office, meeting practically every
one of importance on the huge staff.
I was curious TO know what part
the announcers played in the pro-
gram. Major Atkinson told me that
personal publicity for the individual
members of the staff was generally
restricted. Voices that talk to the
children and the youngsters take on
the title of Uncle" 1t seems that
"Uncie Rex" is one of the most
popular Everybody loves him.
Many Of the original announcers
have become station directors in the
provinces, and still remain very
prominent and popular. There are
SCI names on the B. b. C. pay roll
and so they can't all be stars, The
main offices are right in the center
OF London Savoy Hill. which is just
off Picadilly. Provincial stations,
such as Manchester, have about fif-
teen members on the staff.
The stations do not use their call
letters as we do in America. Meth
CT is the name of the company men
toned. The announcer rarely tells
you about the selection that has
been played, but comes on to an
nounce the next group of songs or
instrumental numbers. Now and
then he says, London calling" He
still clings to the wait a moment.

rious orthopedic defects and in the
 appalling death-rate of young children from pneumonia and respiratory dis
 eases largely due to the narrow chest and confined breathing space so char acteristic of the rachitic child.
 That child has bow legs because his mother lets him walk too soon.' is the popular explanation of the two or
 three-year-old youngster with badly
 bowed legs, This thoroughly unsci-
 entifc theory is, after all, not so far from the truth, but the fact is that such children usually have suffered from rickets. The most marked ef- feet of this disease is to retard the development of the bony tissues of the body, particularly the long bones of the arms and legs. Their legs, therefore may be said to be too young to support the weight of their bodies. When they attempt to stand on their feet, the bones of the legs bend under their weight like tender green twig.
 Tickets may be occasioned by one of two things, or by both together: CD inadequate exposure to sunlight !; CD a diet deficient in a food acces- sory vitamin, whose nature is as yet unknown, but which enables the body Ito store calcium and phosphorus in the bones from the food taken into the body. The disease is most prevalent during the winter months in north temperature climates, particularly among races with dark skins in which the pigment still further retards the effects of the suns rays. On the oth- CT hand, the disease is practically un- known among negroes in the West Indies who are receiving an abundance or among Eskimos who are used to little sunlight but whose diet con- sists largely of fats, oil and blubber. Babies between three months and one year of age are most most suscepti- ble to the disease, particularly if they are within this age period during the late winter months when the seasonal incidence is at it's peak
 Psychologists are at a loss to ex- plain how the suns rays or the oil of fish livers can desposit calcium in the bones, but the fact that they do has been amply demonstrated clini- cally and in experiments with ami mals. There are, therefore, two meth ods of attacking rickets: CD Expos ing the babies directly to the rays of the sun or to the ultraviolet rays of a quartz lamp; or CD giving doses of fish liver oil three times a day dur ing the period of life when rickets is

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 18.-The original antenna for radio, according to Jack Altman, Los Angeles curator of reptiles, was the rattlesnake's ton que.
 When a rattlesnake is dormant or sleeping," Mr. Altman said recently. "its tongue is idle. But when aroused it starts shooting that forked tongue from it's mouth and seems to both feel and hear through it. have seen rat .tlesnakes appear as though unin- formed of my approach when their tongues were not moving back and forth from their mouths, but the moment they became conscious of it the tongues started.

 INVESTIGATES
 CAUSE REGRETS

NEW YORK, Feb 1S.-Three out of four infants in a New York tene- ment district develop rickets before they are a year old according to a report made public today by the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, giving the re suits of a campaign to combat this disease which the \. 1. c. P. has been carrying on for the last five years.
 The report indicates that rickets, a winter disease. the most marked effect of which is to retard the development of the bony tissues of the very young child, particularly the long bones Ot arms and legs, is at present a seri -ous obstacle to child health. It is responsible. the A. I. c. P. finds, fOI the fact that fully p per cent of the children ill one New York tenement district have serious orthOpedic de- fects, such as bow-legs, knOck-knees funnel chest" and spinal curvatures and this malady is also held to be largely responsible for the appalling death rate of young children in this district from pneumonia and other re- spiratory diseases. The report, in part, follows
 The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor is carrying on it's annual campaign against rickets in the Mulberry district in New York City. Five years of intensive work has shown that rickets in early in- fancy presents a real obstacle to child health. It is no exaggeration to say that D percent of the babies ill this district develop rickets before they are a year old. The after effects of this condition are seen in the large number of children from two to six years old (25 per cent) who have SC.

IA FEW GLEANINGS
 FROM WAINWRIGHT
(From Nome Nugget)


 WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Nov B. When the Baichimo came in Barrow to salvage the Lady Kindersley, she had a case of smallpox on board. The children of Roy Ahmaogak, the na- tive teacher lat Barrow were taken with the disease and passed through it to recovery Strict quarantine saved any other cases of the disease.
 Peter Wander Sterre, the teacher ill charge at Barrow is the proud pos sessor of two monkeys, purchased from the Biachimo. They are said to diff fer in taste from Peter in regard to the pictures he hangs on his wall and unhung them violently the first day. The monkeys are the joy of the juve- nile population of the camp.
 Whaling was fairly successful at Point Barrow the past season, six whales being taken. Several polar bears were killed on the ice and two Cupo NSlC Soptui Co-
 The Wainwright natives were un- successful in whaling but six big po- lar bears were killed on the ice. This was a good season for walrus and the village is we'll supplied with meat. A fairly successful season was expe- rienced in the reindeer business and a company is being formed which will handle 5000 deer. The catch of fur was the best at this village of any place along the coast.
 The weather varied from 10 degrees above zero to 10 below during Octo- Der, but on November 1 the wind turn ed southwest and thaws and rains set in.
 The school here started on Septem- Der P, and to date there have been enrolled 50 pupils
 The annual roundup of reindeer has been held during the past two weeks and the deer in the four herds have been counted. The counting was done in a corral made of ice blocks about six feet long, stood on end, making a substantial corral but lacking the ne- cessary gates which were made of hide strips.
 The health of the village of Vain wright has been good to the present time. Barrow has also experienced no ill health beyond the smallpox caught from the Baichimo and one case of diphtheria

Schools and Religion Fail
 to Keep Men Gu tof Jail

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1S.-Surveys among prisonets in the Los Angeles jail indicate that there is something
 wrong with present educational and religious methods, in the opinion of Raymond l. Turney, director of the Los Angeles Crime Commission. He expressed this view at a recent meet ing of the Southern California Acad- emy of Criminology.
 Seven per cent of the inmates of the county jail MT. Turney said, were college graduates, as against 1-2 per cent in ordinary civil life; 12 1-2 per cent of the prisoners had college training; 45 per cent were high school
 graduates, compared with 25 per cent outside the walls.
 All the prisoners agreed, added MT. Turney. that there had been a lack of moral training and a defect of charac- Iter-building training in the schools, and that the same thing was true of
 the religions, majority of which were represented.
 Mr. Turney declared that most of the prisoners concurred in the belief that habitual criminals should not be allowed to bring children into the world. All believed in punishment, he continued, but favored institutions where prisoners could be employed in
 producing some commodity.
