WOMEN GETTING BALD

The next FIVE years will show women
with Bald Heads, or going in that
direction. Men attribute 1t to Heredity.
What will the women say is the cause
for It? Thousands Of young men bald,

Sparks From Lindbergh's
Engine Are Miles Long

Statisticians may well bow to d..
Rabezzana, research engineer, who
has gone to the trouble of telling us
the amount of flashes delivered by the
spark plugs in Colonel Lindbergh's
plane during his great flights to Paris,
to Mexico City and throughout the
United States.
J,S Rabezzana says the plugs in the
Spirit of st. Louis during these 34,905
miles delivered total number of
sparks equal to an unbroken flash of
light 81 miles in length. A set Of Is
spark plugs is required in airplane
engines of the Spirit of st. Louis type,
it was explained.
Rabezzana says automobile speed
way runs are severe tests for engine
parts, but they cannot compare with
the terrific strain endured in trans
oceanic and other nonstop flights.
Even the slightest defect in any one
insulator, electrode or assembly would
spell the difference between success
and disaster, he added.

Look Carefully at Used
Cars Replaced Parts

The difficulty IN obtaining replace
ment parts for cars canhot always be
blamed upon the manufacturer or the
dealer. There are ANY things that
can happen to make it difficult for
the car owner to obtain the exact
replacement part for his car and
very often his failure to get exactly
what he wants is the result of some
previous work on the car Of which
he has no knowledge or about which
perhaps he has forgotten.
case in point was where the own
er of a secondhand automobile was
in need of new axle. The car was
q 1925 model and it was natural that
lie should ask for a 1925 axle and ac-
companying parts. A 1925 axle, how
ever, would not quite fill the bill and
he was puzzled. Investigation re-
veaed that the first owner of the car
had had an accident with it and had
replaced the broken part with a 1924
axle, not being able to obtain the
parts for his particular year.
1t frequently happens that in IA
pinch a motorist will buy parts which
belong to some other make Of car.
All this creates difficulty for the Sec
ond owner of the car when the need
for second replacement arises.
A suggestion to buyers of used cars
is that they endeavor to find out from
former owners whether any such re-
pairs have been made and, if so,
whether the exact parts af the par
ticular model were installed.

Carbon Deposits Caused
by Poor Grade of Oil

Carbon deposits in the cylinders
may be caused by excessive use of
oil or an inferior grade of OIL The
most common cause of too rich fuel
mixture due to running with the choke
open for too Ions time. The forma-
tion of the carbon deposit can be de-
layed by occasionally pouring a little
kerosene into the cylinder while hot
and allowing the engine to stand with
out running for some time. When it
Is started the softened carbon will be
carried out by the exhaust. When
ever necessary the carbon should be
removed by scraping. This is done
by removing the cylinder head and
using scraper on the heads and the
internal surface of the combustion
chamber.

Paris Now Considering
New Code for Traffic

A new set of traffic rules is to be
formed to regulate traffic in Paris,
France. The possibility of restricting
the use of motor horns is being con.
sidered. Drivers habitually use their
horns to excess; for instance, it is not
uncommon for whole row of drivers
who are being held up by a police
man for what they consider an I'M
reasonable time to blow their horns
steadily in unison by way of protest.
The question of inadequate lighting on
vehicles is also being considered. One
may still see in Paris youth on
motorcycle carrying Japanese Ian
tern in his mouth, or a motor car
lighted by couple of paper lanterns,
apparently with the consent of the
police.

Auto Is Now Viewed
as Big Traffic Menace

"Save Fifth avenue from the auto
mobile"
That is the cry along New York's
two-billion-dollar fashion emporium as
mechants grow fearful that increas-
ing automobile traffic may crowd them
out of business.
The shopkeepers plead that unless
a remedy is quickly found for the
growing traffic congestion in mid
Manhattan, business is almost sure to
move northward away from Fifth ave-
nue.. And their suggested remedy for
the salvation of their street is the i'm
medite construction of a vehicular
tube under the East river. That
would direct traffic through the cen
ter of the city without interfering
with the comfort of Fifth avenue
shoppers, the merchants claim.

Spitz Good Sheep Tender

The Pomeranian sheep dog, better
known as the Spitz dog, is bred in
most countries as house pet, small
and useless. But in its own home on
the shores of the Baltic this dog is
the local sheep tender. He has fox
like face and very long hair. In color
he ranges over wide scale, but black
or white is most common, and the
average weight is about eight pounds.
The Spitz stands cold weather much
better than warm.

eral Glasses of Service
Held Up.

Assignment Of short wave channels for
several classes of radio service in the
United States is being held up by the
Federal Radio Commission until an
agreement is reached with neighboring
countries on the allotment Of these
channels.
Included in the services are television,
airplane communication, messages be-
tween the engines and cabooses of
freight trains, radio telephone from ship
to ship, and national networks of radio
telegraph lines. Three companies have
applied for permits to establish radio
telegraph systems open to public serv-
ice, the Radio Corporation of America,
the Mackay Radio and Telegraph Co.
and the Universal Wireless Communica-
tions Co.
Plans are being made for a North
American conference on short waves to
be held within a few weeks at Ottawa
Canada. Radio officials and engineers
of Canada, the United States, Mexico
and Cuba will meet to determine or
what frequencies, II any, each nation
shall have priority in order to prevent
international interference.
Owing to the proximity to Canada OF
several large cities in the United States
present and prospective sites for short
wave stations, interference between
transmitters in the two countries pre-
sents a major problem for the con-
ferees. Serious interference between
stations in the United States and in
Mexico is less likely This is due to the
fact that there are few short wave sta
tions in the Southwestern part of the
United States and that atmospheric and
geographic conditions in Mexico form q
barrier to transmission between the two
countries,

Announcement that still picture

raav be excluded from the broadcast
band and placed on the short waves has
brought letter of protest to the Fed
eral Radio Commission from Edgar H.
Felix, radio engineer of New York City.
To be of real service the still picture
must be sent from the same broadcast
ing station as the musical program and
received by the same radio receiver IN
the home, Mr.. Felix contends. 1T Is
inconceivable that such a service could
PROV If a<separate high frequency band
is established for the purpose, since the
listener must then simultaneously oper-
ate two diSasSociated receivers and at
tempt to receive his tonal program from
one station and still picture from
another" he said.
THE visual supplement of the tonal
program goes hand in hand with it and
cannot complement its service without
doing so. ANY other basis for still pic
tllra broadcasting amounts to artificial
sitting Of potentially immense public
service.
Restrictions to picture broadcasting
re not entirely unreasonable, however,
because experimental tranSmisSionS are

CAUSES OF RADIO
FADING OBSERVED
Widely Different Reasons Are
Found in Experiments Made
in Broadcast Band.
By the Associated Press.

SCHENECTADY, N. "a visual
means of observing radio fading has
emphasized the view that fiuctuating
signals may result from several widely
different causes.
Tests made in the broadcast band
by Ernest Merritt and William G. Bost-
wick of the department of physics, Cor
nell University, were described in a
paper read by Mr.. Merritt before the
National Academy OF Sciences.
There seems to be little doubt" the
paper stated, that radio signals may be
transmitted along at least two paths.
The ground wave follows the surface of
the earth. The sky wave starts upward
and reaches the observer after being
bent or reflected by the Heaviside layer
of ioniZed air.
Studies of fading and direction
changes have heretofore been based
upon observations of the combined ef-
feet of the ground and sky waves. In
our method the two waves are observed
separately. It practically amounts to
using two radio compasses, one pointed
toward the sending station and the
other at right angles. Each receiver is
connected to one pair of plates In an
oscillograph, in which spot of light
indicates by its horizontal movement
the ground wave, and by Its vertical
movement the sky wave.
"The observations confirm the view
generally held that fading may result
from several widely different causes. In
some cases it is evident that fading is
due to the changing polarization of the
sky wave. In other cases it Is just as
evident that fading is due to interfer.
ence. In such cases the width of the os-
cilloscope figure changes back and
forth, while its height remains constant
Sometimes 1t is unchanged in shape fol
10 minutes, but expands and contracts
1t would seem that this behavior, II not
due to variations In the radiating sys-
TEN, must be due to absorption by q
cloud of ionized air which affects both
waves alike and which must therefore
be near the ending station or the re-
| ceiver.
"On September we observed the dis
| turbed conditions that accompany an
auroral display. The extremely rapid
and violent changes in the oscilloscope
| figure that were seen after the display
began were all the more striking be-
cause just short time before the figure
was quiet
