trusive, help make life liveable, make
the air around you sweet with love
and good will.
What is more delightful than to
know there is someone waiting at
home for You each day, someone full
Of pleasure at Jopr return, bright
with kindly greeting, interested in all
your doings and efforts?
People who are unwilling to make
an effort at pleasant companionship
are better off living alone. Yet /
think it is not normal so to live. The
ideal person to live with is one who
loves to listen, one whom you can
joke and laugh with, who understands
fun and who, if need be, can also dis
cuss a serious question intelligently
and offer good advice.
There are those whose very pres
ence clears an oppressive atmosphere,
who cause a stir Of pleasure when
they enter a room. This is done en-
tirely through a feeling OF good will,
kindly interest and friendliness toward
others.
We can all become at least passably
easy TO live with by cultiyating the
habit Of simple good humor, by de-
termination not to sulk, not to be
touchy, not to be too self-important.
And when we ARE a joy to our
household, we reap joy hundredfold.

French army officer, the other an
American boy who had been taken
across to acquire French.
The key to "a secret correspondence
between spies" was entrusted TO
young America, to be taken out of the
country lest it get into the hands OF
German spies.
No human mind can long stand such

Painful Collie
By Royal s. Copeland


There are many strange names in
medicine. Every day you meet a new
one. / have no desire to make a doc
tor Of you, but do want every read
er to have an intelligent appreciation
Of diseases. This desire is founded on
the hope that by giving you this ir-
formation, you will. when you are
sick, be a better patient because you
will be one who understands.
1t may not make you happy to be
reminded that some day you will need
a doctor. But you will. The need
comes to everybody at least once in
a lifetime.
You can be so helpful if you care
TO be. You can make it easier for the
doctor and the nurse. l want to help
you to be helpful.
Nobody can be happy over a mys-
terry. We all hate or fear everything
mysterious. That is one reason we
dread some diseases more than others.
or course, We Lave learned to fear
some disease because we know how
fatal they are. But by understanding
more about some others we now dread.
we may take more sensible view Of
them.
Today / want to tell you abou-
'ileus," a word derived from the
Greek and meaning "a severe kind of
collie" 1t is given another name. to-.
This is ''volyulus,7 from a Latin word
meaning "to roll"
You will see at once how appropri-
ate both these names are. They are
given 10 al unfortunate condition
where the intestine rolls upon itself
causing a twist or kink. This pro-
duces a partial or complete stoppage
Of the bowel. with terrible collie as
the natural result.
Not all cases Of ileus are due 10
rolling Of the intestine. On this &C
count not every ileus is really vol
yulus. There are other causes for oh
struction Of the i1testines and severe
collie.
After an abdominal operation or in
fiammation Of the abdominal lining
there will be more or less scar tissue,
producing adEesions in some cases.
These sometimes surround the bowel
a1d in their contraction may construct
the intestine, cutting of free passage
through it.
A growth in the abdominal cavity
may become so large as 10 press upon
the intestine and interfere with its
function. Such 3 growth may be
harmless one until its size produces
uncomfortable symptoms. Or the
growth may be csncerous in its type
Then there is added 10 the painful
pressure symptoms, the malignant re-
suits Of its cancerOus nature.
in ileus there will be pain, consti-
patton, retching and vomiting. Unless
there is speedy relief the pulse be-
comes feeble, the face pincbed and the
body cold. Serious collapse threatens.
The family doctor will take charge
Of the treatment. Food should be cut
off at once. while the doctor is on the

State and Individual

W. HEN Tolstoi died in 1910 Nicolai Lenin, then
wv known to few wrote that it was thanks to the
~ great novelist that the whole world had a
better understanding of the Russian revolution of 1906
and of Russian problems. This in spite of the back
ward and feudal condition of the nation in whose Ian
guage Tolsto wrote.
Lenin to be sure, regretted that Tostoi had such
contempt for the State and for any notion that could
do good for Lenin and Marx relied the State
do everything Not so the literary genius.
Like Thomas Jefferson only more
treme, Tosoi sought progress in the freedom of the
individual from national force whatever that force
might be called.
Whether the race can reach it or not the ideal of
Tolsto and Jefferson is certainly fairer and
inspiring ideal than the one of Lenn Mussolin in
which reliance is dominating dctatorial, ALIEN
bracing national political machine.

This is an age OF specialization

said Mr.. Huber. Just as the new

particular field. SO must the new and
progressive radio station be a special
list in the field OF broadcasting.
think the time IS close when radio
stations win realize this more actively
and we win then have athletic sta
tions, agricultural stations, health
stations etc.
"rhe diversified demands of the
radio listeners must eventually cause
the brOadcasters to segregate them.
selves into groups, handling only
certain types of programs, and such
specializing should certainly produce
excellent results.
Specialization will undoubtedly de-
Eelop personalities among the differ
ent broadcasting stations, and today
WBAL stands foremost among the
stations OF the country with such dis
tinct personality. 1t does not want
to be one of the stations on the air.
1T wants 10 be Il station OF good
music. and it has undoubtedly eStab-
Hshed itself in that capacity"

Better Airway Communications.

Through tho efforts of the naval

operation of the flying service, inn
prOvement and standardization in air
craft radiO-Communication systems
have been worked out. The present
plans call for daily weather reports
by radio. which would be available
for flyers in the vicinity of the New
York, Washington and Norfolk areas,
and emergency message service.
AS soon as the details are worked
out it is the intention of the Navy
to cooperate with the Army Signal
Corps and Army Air Service for an
extensive co-ordinated military pro
gram. and eventually to bring in the
governmental services such as the
Postal Service and Weather Bureau
and to extend the system SO as 10

country. Communication on both
short and medium wave apparatus is
planned.
In q report the Navy Department
states, '.It has been found practicable

OUTSIDE INFLUENCE
DENIED BY BRAZIL
Ambassador Declares Nation s
Course at Geneva Was Entirely
at Own Initiative.

the Brazilian embassy, acting nnder
authority of its government yesterday
officially declared that reports to the
effect Brazil has acted in Geneva
under the influence of some other
foreign power or powers" are entirely
devoid Of foundation.
Brazil acted on her own initiative
and upheld the dignity of the country
IN the defense of what she consid-
ers 10 be her right" the statement
said.
'In renewing her application for a
permanent seat in the council Of the
League of Nations, Brazil was not
hostile TO the candidacy of any other
country, but was inspired by fidelity
10 whatever could promote the work
of the League of Nations while pre-
serving, as was most necessary, it's
character as universal institution
for the maintenance of Npeace among
all nations.
1.-The interest of Brazil in the league
and her appreciation of the treaties
Of LoCarno, no matter great as they
were, and, indeed, continue to be,
could not permit Brazil to subordinate
the world policy at large to an agree
ment, which is no doubt relevant, but
is, nevertheless, only regional or, at
most, continental III Europe. Brazil,
as a signatory of the treaty of Yer
aailleS and. as such, one of the orig
inal members Of the league of Ma
tons, did not oppose the admission of
Germany as 4 permanent member of
the council except in so far as it in
volved the exclusion of the whole
American Continent.
THE Brazilian embassy holds the
view that any other construction of
the attitude of Brazil ought to he
deprecated as being in contradiction
with the reality of the facts and in
opposition to the honorable traditions
of the country in her international
policies"

speak of mechanical power before
showing you how electrical power fits
into the picture
Smith interrupted to ask whether
power wasn't the same as work. To
his way Of thinking work was activ-
ity, the same as power. In sense he
was not wrong, but he was overlook
ing an important point. l put 1t this
way:
Wouldn't you do the same amount
of work whether you lifted a trunk in
one minute or took all day about it?''
He was ready with a yes" in
stantly.
''WeI, then" / asked, chow are you
going to distinguish between the two
jobs? If you took all day about IL,
I'd say that you were weak. If you
did the job quickly. I'd compliment
YOU on your power"
Power Rating in Watts.
We were arriving at an explanation
Of power. and Slowly but surely get
ting to n point where Smith would
know what they mean when they
speak of a broadcasting station as be-
ing rated for power so many watts.
THE rate of doing work is called
power" | summed up the mechanical
phase Of it. ''Of course, this is the
time rate Dividing the work unit
by the time unit gives you the power
unit. In physics the unit of work is
the erg, and the practical unit of
power is one joule per second, which
is the equivalent of 10000, 900 ergs per
second.
Don't let this confuse you. Fortu-
nately, power is an easier thing to
figure out in the case of electricity
All you do is multiply the voltage by
the amperage. That gives YOU the
number of watts. It's too technical
matter for you to bother with, but
youN get along all right IL you'll
keep in mind the picture of the way
power is figured out as the rate of
doing work. In the voltage and am
perage values there is hidden the time
and work elements, and they are the
ones that count toward determining
power"
Whether Smith really grasped
what's what about watts was a ques-
ton. However. when he tuned in on
that 500-Watt station II was with q
renewed faith in the importance of
getting back to first principles when.
ever trying to fathom q new applica-
lion of old methods and laws.

World Code Probable.
1t is probable that the international
code OF signals and visual signaling
will be added 10 the agenda of the
Washington conference. The Ger
mans have also proposed the addition
of the radio provisions of the inter
national convention for the safety of
life ut sea London, 1910.
The Radio Corporation of America
and the American Telegraph & Tele-
phone Co. have prepared a complete
set of proposals for consideration by
the United States Government in pre-
pairing its proposals.
The international telegraph confer
ence, which took place in Paris last
Autumn, recommended that the gov
ernments consider the amalgamation
OF all the international communica-
tion agreements relating to radio,
cables and land wires into one con-
Vention, since they are usually con-
nected and closely related in practical
communications the world round. 1t
is therefore possible that the con-
solidation Of agreements may also be
considered at Washington next year.
