By the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, Australia, March 16.-Di-
rect communication between Great
Britain and Australia by beam wire
less has proved such a success that
transmission of pictures will be at
tempted soon, F. 7. Fisk, managing
director of Amalgamated Wireless,
said here today. Amalgamated Wire

Marconi Co.
The Anglo Australian service was
operated under test conditions over
a period of a week. The speed ranged
to 325 words a minute. Final tests
were practically free from fading.
Attention also will be turned to the
service to Canada, and preliminary
tests will be made in two or three
weeks. Fisk said. In a message of
congratulation, Signor William Mar

Radio Aid to Skating.

So many other. things are served

radio broadca sting has finally crashed
it's way into this charmed circle. This
rather novel statement is predicated
on the fact that WEAF, the broad
casting station of the National Broad
casting Co, recently received letter
from Ontario which revealed how ra-
dio broadcasting was a great aid In
making a skating party more merry.
A radio loud speaker was connected
and placed outside on the ice. This

upon the ice to the tunes of the Ipana
Troubadours and the La France Or

POWER BENEFITS.
Greater Volume Said to Hinge on
Broadcast.

Whether greater volume. as with
the use of a power tube or special
audio amplifiers, will improve quality
or destroy it often depends upon the
character of the particular broadcast.
Take a band, for instance. Many Of
the tones are lost in any reproducing
instrument and the quality OF the
music depends largely upon the in
struments being featured. Greater
volume may so accentuate the instru
ments in the foreground as to drown
out all the others, but should the situa-
ton be such as to warrant greater
volume Of the major instruments with
out distortion. it is probable that the
lesser instruments and tones can be
brought out to excellent advantage.
It is interesting TO note that the
matter of quality as related to volume
has much to do with the sort of music
being broadcast. Some music calls for
instruments which make 1t difficult to
increase the volume of the background
without distorting the major fnstru-
ment.

these specialists assert, that most

Adlerika is not a cure-all. In
cases of gastric ulcers or deep

physician should be consulted. But
If your trouble is due to Intestinal
Stasis Gas many stomach and

gives surprisingly quick relief.
Don't think if your bowels move

Intestinal Sfasis

TN EVERYDAY language, Intes-
l. final Stasis means the too slow
movement of waste food matter
through the intestines or bowels.
Due to intestinal weakness, this
waste matter, instead of being
promptly passed out of the body,
remains many hours or even days
longer than it should. BY staying
too long in the body, this matter
ferments, gives off gas and some
times poisons the whole system.
Intestinal Stasis is caused by i'm
proper food, lack of exercise, and
other faults of modern life, and
afflicts three out of every four.
A person may have Intestinal
Stasis and yet not be noticeably
constipated. The bowels may
move once or even twice a day,
but the movements are only par
tial. Enough old matter is left in
the body to form gas, hinder diges-
ton, and cause bloating, sleep
lessness and nervousness.

Vogue For Investment Trusts.
The vogue for investment trusts is
growing rapidly in this country. For
fifty wears. they have fiourished in
England, but the movement is in it's
infancy in this country. The invest

the public, and invests the proceeds
in diversified securities of govern

well managed, the investment trust
gives the small investor the advantage
of automatic diversifcation of risks
