The British Psychologist, Ernest H
Startling, in thorough cons liberation
of the effects of alcohol on the
human. body made in 1923, summar-
lied all of the evidence thus fan
available as to what occurs when this
substance is taken into the system.
He agrees with most other inves.
tigators that alcohol is without a
doubt a food especially valuable in
cases when ordinary foods cannot be
taken. On the other hand, he says
that the concentration of alcohol in
the blood and tissues can be con-
trolled only by regulation of the
amount which is drunk and that if
this is not exercised, any beneficial
effect of alcohol as food is more
than compensated for by it's dele
tarious effects as drug.
Has Depressing Effect
f "The idea that a plentiful use of
alcoholic drinks is beneficial for
heavy workers." said Professor Star
ling, "is misleading and mischiev-
GUS" He considers it's chief value
as food in certain cases Of diabetes
during the early stages, although
Joslin, who has had one Of the great
est experiences with diabetes in this
country, is inclined to consider the
use of alcohol as food in diabetes
in general as not helpful. Mr.. Star
ling. considered it also as food in
the weakness Of old age, but said
that for the normal individual the
food value Of alcohol is not of i'm
portance.
DR.. Startling says that the action
of alcohol from beinning to end is
essentially depressant. It's chief eff
feet is to dull the perception of un-
pleasant feelings, Of surroundings. to
diminish self-criticism and the fear
of undertaking any action which may
excite remarks or be regarded by
other people as not appropriate to
the situation. Thus, under the in
fluence of alcohol, an individual be-
comes more communicative, losing
his suspicion. He is more receptive
and interested in the conversation
and affairs of his fellows and his
emotions are more easily aroused.
Effect Varies
Under the influence of alcohol the
shy and diffident person becomes
less fearful of revealing what is
pressing on his mind and may even

CHAPTER LXIII

CHAPTER l1AIII
"Sur la route a, Montpelier. II y
await un cantonnier Qui cassit des
tas d'cailloux-'
Which, in more or less liberal
doughboy French translation, means
that on the road to Montpelier there
is cantonnier who makes big rocks
into little ores. This informaein
is essential in leading up to the in
troducation of Ernest Chellon.
Ernest is cantonnier-a road
worker-along the route from Toul
to Pont-a- Mousson. His particular
beat is the stretch of highway that
runs along in front Of the old Toul
aerodrome where Princeton's famous
HOBBY Baker crashed on the day the
armistice was signed-and past the
crumbling buildings Of the ancient
French caserne that was used by the
Americans as an evacuation hospi-
tai.
Gets Early Start
Ernest is n years old, and it must
be said Of him, in all fairness, that
he is the best little cantonnier in
his department. He drives off with
his long-handled adj at o'clock
every morning and he continues to
hook and slice along until 6 o'clock

USED RADIO BRINGS JOY
TO THOSE UNABLE TO BUY
Purchasers of New Sets Urged to
Remember Those Who Are
Financially Handicapped.

One thing about the used radio
is the fact that it can be turned into
very philanthropic process. One al
ways can give the old set to some
person who cannot afford to pur-
chase one, thereby bringing unendinS
joy to the recipient of this gift. A
used automobile, on the contrary,
would become a white elephant on the
hands of those who could not buy it
in the first place.
Since the introduction of 81 900 ra-
dio sets, some persons whose incomes
permit them to enjoy such luXuries
have been following the course of
putting the old radio equipment
away in the attic as though it were
of no further value. Enraptured by
the tone and volume of clarity of
their new equipment, they fail to
realize that the old units, no matter
how inadequate they may seem to
them now, can be of great value to
those who are not as yet acquainted
with radio and Who would relish an
opportunity to listen in on the many
features coming in over the air.
Think of patients in the hospitals.
Think of the many who are sick and
who cannot buy a radio because
their normal expenses already are op.
pressive. Your enjoyment of the new
set will be increased tenfold If some
body is enjoying the old one.

"A" BATTERY TROUBLES.
Undercharged Condition Often
Causes Radio Breaks,

The most frequent cause of radio
trouble is d run down or under
charged "a" battery. Few things
deteriorate quicker than the ground
connection, particularly where it is
attached to radiator with a 1eaky
valve. Rust soon destroys the eff
cheney of the connection
The proper test for radio set
nowadays is how well it picks up
the nearest station. This is just the
reverse of the typical tests given
to radio sets a year ago. There has
not been such great improvement in
selectivity and distance getting. The
important betterment has been in
tonal qualities, which are most pro-
nounced when d:aling for local sta
tionS.

MARKED DROP IN PRICE
OF u. S. RADIO EXPORTS
Shipments Over Last Year Show
Increase Despite Reduction
in Valuation.

An analysis of the United States
radio exports for March, as announced
by the Department of Commerce. in
dicates that, while the total value of
receiving sets was $196,622, against
s2l6,1I9 last March, the number of
receivers shipped out of the country
was 5.33l, compared with 4,104 in the
same month, Il year ago, showing a
drop in factory prices. Radio tube
exports increased both in numbers
and value, being s5,770 tubes, valued
at $105, ,534x in March, 1927. against
$3.50, valued at $96,S50 in March,
1926.
Radio receiving set conponents eX-
porteI in March totaled $l3S,76S in
value, compared with $153,609 a year
ago, and receiving set accessories
were $146.1S0 and $174,3 respec-

March were reported as worth $69,-

WAVE LENGTH VALUES.
All Between $50 and 400 Are He'll
Desirable.

BY clearing the ether of its great
handicap, too many high-powered
broadcasting stations on single chan
mel. the Radio Commission claims that
practically all the wave lengths be
tween $50 meters and 490 are of equal
value.
Originally. it is pointed out, the
broadcast receivers were designed to
pick up stations on the single channel
of $50 meters and to. cover consider
able territory on either side of this
wave. They readily brought in the
next stations, which were licensed on
400 meters, and later on other stations
on both lower and higher wave
lengths. Today most receiving sets
are designed to reach from 230 to 490
meters efficiently. but many cover the
entire range. from 200 to 545 meters.
The midsection is. however, the most
desirable still. but cannot accommo-
date all Stations--some $50 of them.

MARK RADIO TOWERS.
Brilliant Colors Adopted as Warn

Within a short time. close observers
will note that practically all the high
radio towers near big cities or along
the national air routes are being
painted to resemble vari-colored bar
ber poles. The Department of Com.
merce Aeronautics Branch, in co.
operation with the naval and military
flying services, has just decided in
the interest of safer flying TO institute
a standardized system of marking all
high obstructions along its airways
and near it's airports. This includes
radio towers and masts, transmission
poles and flag poles.
These distractions will all be paint
ed with alternate bands of white and
chrome yellow separated by black
bands running horizontally about the
objects. At night these elevated poles
and towers will be Illuminated by

Wave Trap Designing.

In studying and designing wave
trap, it is important to know the
width of the band at which radio
broadcastinG stations are operated.
This is approximately 0,000 cycles,
although with so many stations fail
ing to keep true to their wave lengths
there are many instances where the
frequency separation of the stations
is considerably less than this. The
idea of a wave trap is TO pass a band
of frequencies into the set with
definite limit on the width OF this
band

BROADCAST SIGNALS.
Undamped Variety Used in Radio
Programs.

How many radio owners think that
the energy sent out by the radio
broadcasters comes in the form Of
impulses?
That is, do many radioists believe
that when the speaker at the micro
phone utters a single syllable a new
impulse goes out of the ether, TO be
followed by a second impulse with
the second syllable?
If so, the impression should be
corrected, for to view radio in this
light is to assume that broadcasting
is with damped radio signals, where
as the arrangement is by means OF
the undamped variety.
Spark radio for signaling the teIe-
graphic communication is by the
damped variety. Each spark is
dot or dash depending upon its dura-
tion. There is nothing on the air
! between dots and dashes except the
fading away of the damped wave.
1t is quite different in telephone
communication and brOadcaStlng.
The waves, of constant frequency
nd amplitude, are not damped at any
point except when the station says,
Good night, ladies and gentlemen
of the radio audience" The voices
simply are minute variations i'm
pressed upon these undamped waves.

FEAR RADIO MONOPOLY.
South African Fans See Trouble in
Theater Backing.

Radio listeners in the Union of
South Africa are beginning to fear a
radio monopoly with the acquisition of
the licenses to broadcast by the new
company. because it has the backing
of the Schlessinger interests, which
owns and operates most of the thea
ters in Africa. This should make
better entertainment available for the
syndicate stations than any independ-
ent stations can secure.
Recently enacted legislation in
South Africa provides that all re-
ceivers must be licensed and prevents
the sale of sets except TO licensed hold
crs. Rebroadcasting without permis-
sion of the originating station is
forbidden.

New Antenna Popularity.

Do you know that at a certain posi-
ton new antenna has no wave length?
This is when the horizontal wires
the loop are at right
angles to the direction from which
the signal is coming, Since the wave
strikes both sides of the loop ut the
same time, the voltages generated on
each side counteract themselves, and
there is no voltage at the end of the
loop wire. Consequently there is -
voltage to be led to the set
