BY DR.. FRANK THONE
Science Service STAFF Writer

ST. LOUIS, May 22.-Having
juniors tonsils out may be the
means of saving him from an at
tack of diphtheria. This was re-
vealed by DR.. Belaem Schick, famous
originator of the Schick test for
diphtheria susceptibility. speaking
before the meeting of the American
Pediatric Society now in session
here.
Various physicians had observed
that diphtheria was almost I'M
known among children who had
had their tonsils removed. but the
reason for this immunity had never
been worked out. DR.. Schick ap-
piled his test to a large number of
children before and six months af-
ter operations for the removal of
tonSjls, and found that over 80 per
cent Of those that were susceptible
to diphtheria before tonsillectomy
became immune following the OPP

against indiscriminate removal OF
tonsils. His discovery, he said,

woman, probably mentally defec-
tive, was seen by investigators today
as the author of a blackmail letter
sent recently to Constance Morrow,
15-year-old daughter Of Ambassador
Dwight w. Morrow.
Although the letter carried a
threat of death unless $4,000 was
placed at gap in the WALL near
the Joseph Balch estate here,
authorities were conviced the black
mailer meant no harm.
AS supporting this theory, they
pointed to the fact that in five SINH
lar cases since 1925, the same de-
mands had been made upon prom
inent persons without the author of
the letters ever appearing to collect
the money.

Richman Brothers Clothing
Plant, so Years Old, Has
No Time Clock.

Bv NEA Serricc
CLEVELAND, o., May 22.-The
factory that has neither time
clock nor a boss has just celebrated
its fftieth anniversary-and it has
done it in just about the unusual
way you might expect of that I'M
usual kind of factory,
It has given its employees gift
of somewhat more than $4,000, 900.
All of this is enough out of the
ordinary, in the American indus
trial scheme, to be worth reading
about.
S4,00O,000 Gift in Stocks
The factory is the big clothing
establishment of the Richman Bro
theirs, which has, among others, a
prosperous store in Indianapolis.
It's 100000 gift consists in giving
the workers a chance to buy new
stock at something like one-third Of
its real market value.
Here is how it worked out:
The directors voted a stock split
of three to one The authorized
common shares of the company
were increased from 100000 to L.
100000, and the outstanding shares
from 100000 to 100000.
Get Shares at One-Third Value
Fifty thousand of the 100000 out
standing shares we're set aside for
distribution to employees at $50
share-although the market value
was $40 a share. Employees were
only asked to make a down pay
ment of per cent, and were given
until Nov. 1, 1881, to pay the bal
ance out Of their earnings.
The number of shares allotted to
each employe was based on con-
tinuous employment for the years
1926, 1927, and 1923, and on the
employees rate of pay.
The company has 5000 employees
in its factories at Cleveland and
Lorain, o., and 300 more in the
thirty-eight retail stores it operates
in thirty-seven cities. Nearly all of
these took advantage of the COM
pany's offer Previous to this split
up the employees already held ST.
100000 Of stock in their company.

Federal Commission Works
On Detailed Report for
Congress.
By United PTess

By United PTess
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-The
federal radio commission is prepar-
ing a report for congress, asking it
to be granted authority to issue long
term radio broadcasting licenses in
stead of ninety-day permits.
The commission, 1t was stated by
officials, now feels that the broad
casting situation is well under gov
ernmental control and that licenses
should be issued for periods of from
one to three years.
Other recommendations for legis-
lation being considered by the COM
mission include suggesting tax on
broadcasting stations or new radio
receiving sets to bear the expenses
of carrying out radio regulations.
Some consideration also is being
given to modifying the radio law
which divides the country into five
zones and forces the President to
select a radio commissioner from
each zone.
Oficials pointed out that under
the coming system radio problems
are worked out on a local rather
than a national basis and that the
President Is restricted in his ap-
pointments and can not select two
commissioners from one zone no
matter what qualifications his selec-
tons rate.
The commission indicated that
congress at its regular session will
take UP the section of the radio act
which prohibits the merger of wire
ana radio systems in the United
States.
Some agitation has been presented
that unless the United States modi-
ties this clause, Great Britain will
gain control of virtually all select
communication channels through its
gigantic organizations.

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 3.-A thick

forest fires continued their sweep

Residents and fire patrolmen
alike fought to prevent spread Of

stroy thousands of acres of forest

Seven fires were reported in For

splendid from a technical stand

It is most trying for any pianist
to bring the heavier and more in
tricate compositions to mixed audi
ences and that is no reflection upon
the audience. But it should be
noted when an artist of distinction
accomplishes the quiet and intell1-
gent consideration of a mixed audi
