Keeping Police Department

The Police Department viii establish broadcastng
station in the Tenth Precinct and equip sixteen Of its autOO
biles in the outlying sections with radio.
That's fine. It should have been done long ago. Police de-
pents in other large cities have used radio for some time
and have found of great value The District the seat Of
Government should have the best police department in the
country It should LEAD in the installation of uptodste
methods not FOLLOW. -
Radio will enable parolmen the outskirts Of the city to
keep in constant touch with their precinct When crime is
committed they will learn Of it Immediately When look
out is flashed they will get the description without
minutes delay prepared to watch for the person and
prevent his escape.
That will make it much easier to catch criminals add
further deterrent to crime.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

Conjunctivitis Is an inflam-
matory condition of the mem
brane lining the eyelids, which
is common to all ages.
1t may occur at any time
during the year, but Is specially
prevalent in the spring and
autumn.
The lids may become simply
red and congested, or the in
flammation may progress to
the degree that there is a dis
charge from the eyes, either
serious in character or possibly
with puS.
AS to the causes, which are
many, exposure to wind and
dust, as in automobile driving
with the windshield open, is a
very common one.
Reading with a poor light
has also been held to cause
conjunctival. irritation. The
same may be said when glasses
are needed, or the pair used
no longer accurately correct
the faults presented.
Smoke may also cause con-
junctivitis. This may occur
from q camp fire or from being
in q room where the occu-
pants are using tobacco heavily
with inadequate ventilation.
Getting a foreign body in the
eye, like a cinder, may start
conjunctivitis.
Usually these types of cases
are the mild ones.
There is the redness of the
inside of the lids, already re.
ferred to. and a certain degree
of snarting or burning In the
eyes. The patient often says
that II feels as though there
is something in the eye" Ac-
Cordingly. he will rub the eyes,
which. Of course, makes the In.
flammation worse.
Usually, the eyes water Q lot,
and there may be O whitish
discharge. Not infreuuently, on
account Of the latter, the eye
lids and laSheS are stuck to-
gether on awakening in the
mornings.
Epidemics Of conjunctivitis
occur and this is because the
discharge In conjunctivitiS is
contagious, especially II it con-
tains much plS.
The greatest care should
therefore be exercised regarding
the fingers and the handkeF.

William Harvey:
By Archibald Henderson

Not long ago the world united
In celebrating the epochal dis
covery of the circulation Of the
blood. William Harvey was
one Of a great group who lived
in England's spacious and crea-
tive days-a contemporary Of
Shakespeare and Jonson.
- Born at Folkestone on April
I, 1878, he received the finest
education the age could afford.
First he studied at Canterbury
and Cambridge: and afterward
Travelled to Padua, studying
deeply there for five years. At
the age Of "a he took the doc.
torate in medicine at the Uni
yersity of Padua; and later,
took the doctorate in medicine
at Cambridge University, where
he was graduated at the age
of 10.
In the London Of James I.
he established q practice and
had some of the distinguished
figures of the day as his pa
tients, notably the Lord Chancel'
1or, Francis Bacon, and the
Earl of Arundel. But 1t is
clear that he was devoted, not
to the practice, but to the SCI
entific study Of medicine.
Harvey's speciality was anat-
orny: and In 1909, he secured
the appointment to the staff Of
st. Bartholomew Hospital. and
six years later he received the
post OF professor Of anatomy
and surgery.
The long studies and reflec-
tionS over the movements Of
the heart and their conse-
quences found expression in his
very first lectures at st. Bartho-
lowmew's, in the very year of
Sl1akespeare'S death. The earli-
est statement of his discoveries
regarding the circulation Of the
blood is found in his notebook,
as follows:
It is plain from the struc-
tnre Of the heart that the blood
as passed continuously through
che lungs to the aOrta, as BY

Defends Display of Flag
At Boxing Contests

Editor, Times:
On the editorial page Of your
Saturdays issue appears an
editorial in which the protest Of
the American Legion against the
display Of the American flag at
prize fights is lauded and up
held. Idisagree with much that
is said in this editorial. Just as
I disagree with the protest Of
the American Legion.
It is doubtless true, as claimed
in this editorial, that the pro-
motors OF prize fighting as well
as the participants in the ring
are motivated by the finan.
ciaI returns which they receive.
But this is no more than can
be said of most of the other
forms Of sport and entertain
ment.
Take for instance, baseball.
How long would this national
game Of ours survive if the
owners and promoters and play
ers did not have any gate re-
ceipts as their goal Of achieve
ment? I do not believe anyone
likes baseball any better than 7
do. yet I would much prefer to
see two great ring conteAders
for the championship battle Of
the world come together than to
witness a baseball game. And
the great popularity, as wit
messed by the nationwide radio
nookupS when such contest is
put on, together with the atten-
dance at the ring-Side, is proof
enough that many millions Of
others feel as 7 do about it.
The flag Is not displayed at
these fights as an advertise
ment, because no one would go
there or anywhere else merely
for that purpose, because it may
be seen without going to that
trouble and expense, but 1t Is dis
played there, as at many other
public gatherings because of the
respect in which it is held, and
merely because the American
Legion may not happen to en-
joy this kind Of sport and enter
tainn1ent is no good reason why
our beloved flag should not be
displayed at these gatherings.
If the protest be directed only
against. the use Of the flag by
the participants in the ring,
then the American people will
heartily agree.

Harvey won a place of dis
tinction in the life Of the great
capital. In 1913 he was ap-
pointed physician extraordinary
to James I, and upon his death
ne became physician in .ordi-
nary to Charles I.
Although he had long since
matured his views and often
lectured on the subject, it was
not until 1923 that his epochal
book on the circulation Of the
blood was published.
Although 1t is generally &C.
knowledged to have laid the
foundations Of modern physi-
ology, 1t fell upon alien and
unSympathetic ears.
It was said that "he fell
nightly In his practise: twas
believed by the vulgar that he
was Crackbrained. and all the
physicians were against his
opinion and envied him."
Another important contribu.
tion to science was Harvey's
treatise, the work of exhaustive
practical researches, entitled
Studies Of the Generation Of
Animals"
He showed his genius In his
work, which enunciates the
doctrine that all the higher
