ADEQUATE RADIO
ON PLANES URGED
Equipment for Sending Mes.
saqes After Landing Advo-
Gated by Experts.

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. August 90
Radical changes in airplane radio in
stallations so as to make it possible
for planes at sea to send and receive
messages after they have been forced
today.
The radio operator on well
equipped plane depends on an cleo
trical generator which gets its pro-
pelling power from q steel fan attached
to the wings and not q part of the
engine. AS soon as the plane puts
down to sea the radio power supply
is cut off.
If the power generator could be
attached the the crankshaft of the
plane motor. messages could be sent
after the plane was down. providing
the engine is kept in motion. 1t was
pointed out.
b. III. Linden, acting United States
supervisor of radio in this district,
suggests a different remedy. He feels
that steps should be taken to force
airplanes to be properly equipped with
radio.
1t is pointed out that If all entrants
sending and receiving equipment as
did Art Goebel, the winner, the results
today might have been different. 1t
might have placed Goebel in second
place. for Martin Jensen, without a
radio, was four hours off his course
, lost. Had he used q radio and OBJ
tanned the radio beacon signals, as
did Goebe] he would have been able
to keep closer to his course and with
his speedier plane would have won
the race.
AS for the missing Miss Doran, which
carried no radio, it's occupants would
have been able to signal their positions
as they went out Of the air and would
have given resCuers a target at which
to shoot
Jack Frost. who piloted the Golden
Eagle, refused to take a radio sending
set on account Of its weight. He pre-
ferred to rely on receiving set to OBJ.
tain radio signals and disregard the
safety offered by being able to broad
cast the position of his plane In dam
ger. The added weight of a sending
set might have meant the difference
between winning and losing the race.
Under the Linden plan, two de-
stroyers might be placed between San
Francisco and Honolulu, in an event
like the Dole race, and the vessels as
well as shore sending stations could
broadcast characteristic signal that
a plane might follow and steer into.
Linden feels that short wave lengths
are desirable for planes on account of
the low power used, together with the
aid given by all commercial and anna
ceur outfits listening in. These offer
the possibility Of following a planes
position half the distance from San
Francisco to Honolulu. Honolulu
could then pick up the signals after
half the distance was passed.

PRICE INQUIRY PLANNED.
Trade Body to Probe Rate-Fixing

The Federal Trade Commission an
nounced today that in the next few

The commission pointed out that
numerous companies which distribute
their products in various States of
the Union are quoting prices in which
no allowance is made for difference
in transportation costs in widely sep

Others. it was said, add to market
prices at certain basing points, the
transportation charges to the locality

DISEASE DIAGNOSED
FROM DROP OF BLOOD
French Physicians Declare Serum
Patterns Indicate Nature
of Illness.


PARIS, August 20.-It is said to be
possible to diagnose certain diseases
by examining drop of blood serum
from the patient.
Such is the contention of DrS. Dou-
ris and Mondain. as set forth in pa
per which Prof. d'Arsonval read to the
French Academy of Sciences.
A drop of serum from which the red
corpuscles have been removed by CEN
trifugal action is placed upon glass
and evaporated by uniform application
Of a heat of 40 degrees Centigrade,
This causes different patterns to ap'
pear according to the nature of the
serum.
1t is from these patterns that Drs.
Douris and Mondain believe that they
can tell the nature of the disease
from which the patient is suffering. A
normal serum gives an image recall
ing the section Of a lemon. In the
case of a caucerous subject the pat
tern is irregular, leading the discover.
ers to draw parallel with the cellular
anarchy which characterizes cancer,
and permitting, they believe, the dag.
nosis Of a cancerous state before the
growth has developed.
