COOPERATION URGED
DURING TEST WEEK
European Stations Can Be Heard
if ''Squeals" Are Soft
Pedaled.

The probability of radio fans tun-
ing in European stations direct during
the international test week will be
100 per cent greater than last year if
owners of reradiating receivers will
softpedal their "squeals" during the
American silent periods. engineers
pointed out today.
With the greatly increased power of
European transmitters, and given gen
eral silence Of United States stations
there is every reason to hape that
some Of the foreign waves will cross
the Atlantic with sufficient volume TO
be heard along the Eastern coast and
possibly in the interior of the United
States.
The greatest hindrance to the sue
cess Of the tests of last Winter. par
ticularly in the cities. it is pointed out
was the lnconSiderate operation of re-
radiating receivers. On every wave
length on which a foreign station was
sending there was a deafening chorus
of "squeals."
Radio editors throughout the coun-
try have been urged to outline the
steps by which owners of the bowling
sets can operate them without annoy
ance 20 their neighbors. If the CO.
operation of the listeners can he OBJ
tanned in this respect, il is believed
that the ordinary interference noises,
including static, will not be too great
to mar reception.
Weather forecasts for the week con-
tinue encouraging and if the condi.
tions are at all similar to those of
the same time last year the week
should be ideal for the tests.

By the Associated Press.

Premier Mussolini Of Italy is in
the best possible health condition,
Prof. Aldo Castellani of Tulane Uni
versity, New Orleans, and professor
of tropical medicine, London Uni
versity, said here today upon arrival
in this country from Italy, where he
professionally examined the Italian
premier. Prof. Castellani, at the
Italian embassy, said he wanted to
set at rest ever recurring rumors
that the italian statesman was ailing
from a dangerous disease and carried
with him to America an autographed
statement of Mussolini in which the
Italian premier emphasizes Prof.
Castellani's diagnosis.
During the last two years" Prof
Castellani said, there have been
many disquieting rumors concerning
the health of Italy's premier To put
an end to all these rumors, the Italian
authorities a fortnight ago, having
heard that ] was in Rome, asked me
to examine the premier, whom l had
already seen year before.
1.-The visit took place at the pre-
miers house at GAS pm, Immediately
after he returned from his office. 1
found, after a thorough examination,
that the premier was in excellent
health and | was amazed at the
vitality and energy of this man who
spends every minute in work. He is
so busy he gives no thought even to
food or drink and he never touches
wine or any spirits.
THAT night in question l noticed
that he spent over his very simple
dinner exactly three minutes by my
watch, and no more. i demonstrated
with him and advised him to take in
future a little more time over his
meals, but J. doubt, however, whether
my advice will ever be followed. /
received from the premier a message
in his own handwriting, which he said
l was to show all those who are in
terested in his health and who
doubted his perfect physical condition.
THE statement he gave me reads, as
follows: Prof. Castellani, who is a
great physician and for whom / have
the greatest esteem, has come to see
me this year, as he did last year. The
visit took place at my house at
9:15 pm. on my returning from the
office. He gave me a thorough ex.
animation both before and after din
ner. The dinner, Prof. Castellani in
formed me, lasted three minutes He
found me quite well and looking

information of all those persons who

DIES IN BROOKL|NE
Founder of Boston Invest

BROOKLINE, Mass, December
27.-Galon l.. Stone, who rose from
reportorial obscurity to financial
heights, is dead.
Mr.. Stone was member of one of
Boston's greatest investment housea
Hayden, Stone & Co., which he estab-
lished more than 80 years ago with
Charles Hayden, like himself sub
ordinate in brokerage house.
Stone had been a cub reporter for
the old Commercial Bulletin, but it
was not long before he became finan-
cial editor of the Boston Advertiser.
Then he decided to learn the in
vestment situation first hand, and he
took a job with the brokerage house
where he met Hayden. a graduate of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, who had started work the
year previous as a ticker boy at So
week.
Soon they were partners. Many
copper companies owed their exist
ence to the firms financing, and later
1t turned to steamships, railroads and
other enterprises. Mr.. Stone was at
one time or another a director of
more than 20 corporations.
He retired in 1923 to give his time
to interests philanthropic, artistic and
musical which had always concerned
him. He died last night in his Gath

Prohibition and Morals to interfere
in the daily life of other persons
cows?
This is from one point of view de-
liberate insult to the millions of farm
ers throughout the country. 1t is as
much as to say that a farmer having
sick COW is not any longer to be
trusted with the simple remedies that
have been for 80 years enforced by the
Department of Agriculture for fear
that instead Of giving the whisky to
the sick COW he would take the treat
ment himself for the benefit of the COW.
"In other words, what is the pur-
pose of the reformers? First, it was
to improve the morals of men. Now
is it to improve the morals of the cow?
This action, taken contrary to law
and without the knowledge of the
Congress, may have had the greatest
consequences already in influencing
the determination of questions that
have been decided by the Supreme
Court of tho United States, and may
still have inestimable influence on the
political AMI moral life of the Nation.
"On November 29 the Supreme Court
handed down it's opinion in the famous
case of Samuel Lambert VS.. Edward
G.. Yellowley ct al, in decision where
question as to whether a pint in 10
days WAS, under the law, the maxi
mum amount a doctor could subscribe.
Sees Other Problems.
Can any one say that the decision
would have been the same if it had
been called to the attention of the
court that the COW doctor, in a case of
great emergency, had to prescribe
half pint for a dose and that the
dose must be repeated with the eggs
and milk (making what is remembered
as milk punch in the past(-whence
comes the name of cowpuncher, by
which the Western men are known
from their habit of riding into town
and drinking the same too freely
after which they were accustomed to
shoot up the town.
Where would the majority of that
great court have rested their decision
if they had considered that in two
doses a whole pint was prescribed?
Would the court have been willing to
tell the country that it was their
reasoned judgment that the cow doc
tor could not prescribe another half
pint for 10 days for the suffering COW?
And that the COW could not, therefore,
have another drop of whisky for at
least s days more?
Suppose that some Western or
Southern farmer happens to get. sick
at the same time that his cow doctor
needs to prescribe and both he and the
COW need whisky. Does any sane
person imagine that either or both
the COW and the farmer will not suffer
from the limitation of pint day."

DOG Selects Runt
Pigs to Raise, But
Fights All Others
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NICE, December 27.--The prob
lem of raising runt pigs has been
solved by a st. Bernard dog be-
longing to a Riviera farmer and
pig-raiser. NJ. ZucChini.
Henriette, the dog. inspects each
fresh litter of pigs, chooses one
or two tiny runts. and carries
them to her kennel, where they
are cared for in a methodical and
hygienic manner.
Zucchini says that Henriette is
one of the best pig mothers in the
world. At a minimum cost she has
developed runt pigs TO the point
where they nearly equal their
stronger brothers in selling value.
She now is mothering her seventh
couple of infant pigs.
The dogs value. however, is some
what impaired by the fact that
she is antagonistic to all pigs who
have not occupied her kennel.
