RADIO PARLEY HELD
WITHOUT FLARE-UP
Conference of Representa-
tives of 76 Nations Amazing
in International Relations.

The international radiotelcgraph
conference. which came to a close
Friday. not only was a remarkable
achievement in field Of communlca-
tions, but an amazing one in interna-
tional relations.
This gathering. consisting OF more
wan 400 delegates and technical eS-
pcrts rspresenting 76 nations. con
Quoted the most delicate negotiations
over a period Of seven weeks without
one ma jor disagreement, fare-up or
salemate. and closed in unanimous
agreement upon a convention which
is certain to have the most far-reach-
ing effect upon the progress of cleo
trical communications.
The purpose of this convention, the
work OF conference, can best be
epitomized in the words OF Secretary
of Commerce Herbert Hoover in the
address he delivered that brought the
gathefins to an end,
Broadcast Band Cleared.
'The worlds broadcasting band,
Mr. Hoover said, has been clarified
and defined for the entire universe
in such a fashion that there will lie
less conflict ana interference. This is
direct contribution to every owner
of receiving set.
And Mr.. Hoover ought to know. for
no single individual did more to make
the conference success than did he.
it's chairman aud guide
The treaty consists of Go specific
provisions using o6.000 words to give
them expression. It is founded on
the effort of $50 different committees.
1t becomes effective January ], 1929.
by which time all nations wishing TO
he bound by its provisions are eN-
pected to have ratified it.
Under the new convention, which,
II confirmed by the great powers. will
become the international communica-
tions code, there is complete alloca-
ton of radio frequencies among the
different international services so as
TO utilize them most efficiently and to
minimize interference. The last con-
ference. held in London in 1912, dealt
only with n few frequencies. Inc
new convention deals with all of
them.
L. S. Enterprise Protected.
American private radio enterprise
is fully protected under the treaty.
by means of an annex which binds
only the signatory parties. European
nations which have systems of direct
government operation may accept !
these regulations without over
stepping their powers.
one of the most interesting features
of the convention is the provision
specifying compulsory arbitration as
the means of settling radio disputes
between contending governments. III
the agreement is ratified by the
Senate, it will be the first time in
history that the United States has
acouiesced in a general international
pact requiring compulsory arbitration.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

B1 Dh. MOItttlS tlShBLlN A cataract is a slouding of the lens of the eye or of it's capsule. or of both structures. When this cloud ing occurs, the action is similar to the frosting of glass.
 It is impossible to see through the lens and the result is vary ing amount of blindness. There are all sorts of classifcations of cataracts, depending on their na- ture or their state of progress or perhaps on their possible causes.
 It has been suggested that such diseases as chronic infections, chronic constitutional disorders and eyestrain may have something 10 do with the oncoming of cata- ract. These things, however, ilave not been definitely proved and it is not possible to say cer- tainly just why a cataract devcl- ops in any given case.
 One Eye or Both
 A person may have cataract in one eye or in both. It is rath- CT common to have cataracts in both eyes, either developing at the same time or successively.
 The fact that a cataract may occur in one eye and not in the other would seem 10 indicate that local causes may be largely re sponsible, rather than systemic conditions Or factors affecting the eye that come through the blood.
 Because of the psychological factors associated with vision. 1t has been possible for all sorts of quacks to offer special treatment for cataract that did not involve surgical operation. The desire 10 see better is 50 great that the in- dividual is willing 10 admit he secs better following any sort Of medical treatment.
 Proper Operation
 More recently methods of treat
New Britain herald., 1927-12-13

ment have been developed that involve immunological reactions, that is to say. substances arc in iected into the body which seem to create other substances antago- nistic to the things that cause cataract
 The one certain relief for cata- ract is a proper operation. Along the roadside in India trained op- orators remove cataracts from aged Hindus' eyes successfully.
 The methods that have been used for centuries arc duplicated in good hospitals by com pet'ent surgeons under much safer condi- tons and with tho aid of modern anesthesia.
 When the cataract is removed, the result is like defrosting a win dow or letting up the shade, the light comes through and the indi vidual is able 10 sec.

My stately employer looked at Lillian with a facial expression in which irritation struggled with amusement. I knew that there wac probably no other person In the world who dared 10 treat him so flippantly. But Lillian has no rev erence for gods or men in her sys- tenn. a truth which Philip Neritzen we'll knows. So he choked back the annoyance which he would have vented upon anyone else and opened his lips to tell his errand as she had commanded. but she interrup- ted him ruthlessly,

 He paused as if 10 determine wiat 10 say next and across his bent head l shot a wildly inquiring glance al Lillian. What on earth did the great producer mean? He was noted Tor his absolute tinality Of negative dictum concerning the fem mine aspirants for stage careers who employed every device possible for enlis'ing his interest. Once In a blue moon some fortunate and rarely gifted girl like Mary Harrison sue ceeded where hundreds failed. But never was he known 10 encourage a girl when he did not mean to make a star out of her. Yet. If ] were not mistaken his attitude to- ward Eleanor Lincoln's wishes was a distinctly placating one. He did not wish to offend her, and on the other hand he did not mean to grant her request.
 Lillian shook her head with q dis claiming gesture and, as Mir Norit zen showed no disposition to go on. dropped a flippant comment into the conversational pool.

Mr. and Mrs. Grouse Talk Things !
 Over
New Britain herald., 1927-12-13

These were dark days in the Green Forest for MT. and Mrs. Grouse. They were dark days for number of little people in the Green Forest, but for none were they quite 50 dark as for Mir. and Mrs. Grouse. It wasn't that the sun didn't shine and it wasn't that the ground wasn't covered with snow. You see, 1t wasn't that kind of darkness. It was the kind of dark ness which VIC call fear and worry.
 It had reached such a state that Mir. and Mrs. Grouse were going hungry most of the time. They got barely enough food to keep them alive and they didn't enjoy any of the food they did get. And it was all because of Terror the Goshawk. Terror's favorite dinner is q dinner of Grouse. As long as he can catch Grouse the other little people needn't fear him much.
 Tt doesn't seem to me that I can stand this much longer" said Mrs. Grouse 10 Mir. Grouse. T don't get enough to eat. I'm wasting away. Yes. sir. I'm wasting to skin and bones, and it's all on account of that dreadful bird We've been smart enough 10 keep out Of his claws so far. ! think, that either one of two things must happen"
 "What?' inquired Mir. Grouse.
 Either Terror the Goshawk must leave this part Of the Green Forest or we must replied Mrs. Grouse. T can't stand thls much longer, When I'm not worrying about my self I'm worrying about you
 You don't mean that we should leave the Green Forest altogether. do you?" inquired Mir. Grouse.
 No" replied Mrs, Grouse. If we should leave the Green Forest don't know where we'd go. We'll have to move over to another part of the Green Forest, just as far from here ss we can get We might even go a little way up on 'he Great Mountain"
 MI. 'Eopot S' i IN ll'l liiG iili thoughtfully. 'Its bad time of year." said he. Its very bad time Of year 70 make change. We might starve 70 death. We know where the food supply Is around here. We know that Ne can always get food of one kind or another here. But the moment we leave places we are familiar with we will know nothing whatever about the food supply. Have you thought Of that, my dear?"
 Mrs. Grouse nodded. I've thought all about f." said she. and I've made up my mind that would rather starve 10 death than furnish a dinner for Terror the Goshawk. There he IS now"
 Mir. Grouse peeped out from un- der the hemlock boueh, under which they were sitting Sure enough, there vas Terror the Cos hawk in a. tree only short distance on that very hough under which MT. and Mrs Grouse were hiding. l. was evident that he knew just where they were. Mir. Grouse shiv- cred. There was something very shivery in the stare Of those fierce eyes He was very thankful that 1t was . big, heavy hemlock bough under which they were sheltered. Certainly Terror couldn't break this. And, even ss he thought this Terror left his perch and came gliding down straight toward their hiding place.
