GH-FREQUENCY
EFFECTS SOUGHT.
Navy Conducts Tests to
Learn if Exposure Is
Harmful to Man.

What are the effects of high-fre-
quency alternating current-running
from 100000 to 100000 cycles a
second-on workers frequently exposed
to It?
with radio apparatus requiring such
high frequency being tested at the
Naval Laboratory at Bellevue, D. c.. the
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the
Navy has started program of observa-
tons of men and experiments with ami
mails to answer this question.
Workers whose duties took them
often into the induction fields reported
apparent increased pulse rates and in
creaSeS in temperature. This was to
have been expected. according to Capt
w. w. Bell of the Navy Medical School
here, ard is essentially the same result
sought for in diathermy, where the in
terror of the body is heated by passing
high-frequency current of low voltage
through 1t with poles attached to the
back and chest-a treatment which has
been of very great value in pneumonia.
Much the same thing results when
man gets into the induction field OF
high-frequency current.
None Experiences Illness.
None of the workers at the Naval
Labortary, Capt. Bell said, have expe-
exposure, and there is no reason to
expect any, but the Navy wants to be
on the safe side. They remember the
early experience with X-rays, brief
doses OF which we're harmless and of
great value in surgery. Prolonged ex-
posures, however, resulted in serious
conditions. Alternating current ex-
poSure differs greatly from X-ray or
radium emanations, but 1t is new
thing.
All the workers likely to be exposed
have been given thorough physical ex-
aminationS, including blood counts, in
their normal condition and following
exposures of varying lengths. They
will be examined again from time to
time to see. if any marked changes from
the normal are taking place. This is
expected to be a slow procedure, since
no variations from the normal occur
over short periods.
Experiment With Animals.
The doctors also are working with
guinea pigs and cats. The animals are
placed in glass tubes and put in the
induction fields of high-freQuency cur
rents, where they can be kept for pro-
longed periods. The temperature and
the heart rate increases, as in human
beings. Thus far there have been no
bad results from prolonged exposures,
but the experiment is only in its initial
stages. What happens to cats, Capt.
Bell says. probably is approximately
what would happen to men exposed for
comparatively long periods.
The Navy recognizes, Capt. Bell says,
that high-frequency exposure will come
more and more in the handling of
naval apparatus, and If it has any ILL
effects the Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery wants to know about them.
Previous work in Government and in
dustrial laboratories has been almost
entirely directed to finding the bene-
fetal effects of raising the body tenn
perature without considering any pos
sible adverse results.

Women Constitute
20 Per Cent of All
Working Population
'WOman's Place No Long
err in Home,' Says
Census Survey.

BY the Associated Press.
A 50-year study of women in gainful
occupations, from 1870 to 1920, today
was published by the United States
Census Bureau as background for 1880
census discoveries on feminine status.
Dr. Joseph A. Hill, assistant to the
census director, :.uthor of the monograph,
pronounced its theme one of the most
interesting economic studies in the
province of the census.
A foreword by Seymour L. Andrew
set forth: Whatever opinions may be
held as to the proper sphere of women,
the fact is that, to considerable extent.
woman's place today is no longer in the
home"
Andrew commended DR.. Hill for ere
framing from excursions into realms of
speculation" and making mo moraliza-
lions as to the presumed effect on home
life of the participation of women in
gainful occupations"
"a Per Cent of Women Work.
In 1920. DR.. Hill discovered, "a per
cent of all women were engaged in
gainful occupations, and women COM
prised 20 per cent of the total working
population. One married woman in ii
was working FOR a wage, and 2 out of
every women at work were married,
OF unmarried women, 48.6 per cent, or
almost half. were earning money.
special study Of married women in
II cities was included in the monograph
to answer the question: do gainfully
employed married women have normal
home life?"
1t was found that in these cities, Fall
River, Mass; Providence, r. l.;
Rochester, N. Y. Paterson, N. j.. Gin
cinnati, Indianapolis. st. Paul, Kansas
City, Mo-; Atlanta, Louisville and New
Orleans, 37.6 per cent of the married
women engaged in gainful occupations
were not living with their husbands in
homes of their own, but were either
boarderS or dodgers.
Woman Teachers Increase.
''If the normal home life for a mar
ried woman be defined as living with
her husband in a home of her own,
then somewhat more than one-third of
these married women gainfully en-
ployed did not have a normal home
life" was DR.. Hills conclusion.
In the 50-year period, Dr. Hill found.
woman school teachers increased in
number from 87,047 to $50, 500, partly
accounted for by replacement of men
by women. He noted decided decreases
in the numbers of women employed as
servants, dreSsmakers, laundresses, mil
liners, .tailors and boarding and lodging
house keepers.
Women are not leaving the occupa-
ton so much as the occupation Is leav-
ing them" he said Of this category.

PROPERTY RESTRAINT
ON PHYSICIAN LIFTED
Justice Siddons Releases DR.. Joseph
D. Rogers From Order Bar
ring Sale Offer.

Justice Frederick L. Siddons in the
District Supreme Court today signed
an order releasing Dr. Joseph D. Rogers
from rule to show cause why he
should not be restrained from offering
for sale the property at 1447 Massa-
chusetts avenue. The restraining or
der had been asked by MIR. and Mrs.
Eugene S. Trussel, who had charged
the physician with usury in connection
with the purchase by him of $4,000
promissory note made payable to one
Elmer H. Biggs.
The plaintiffs charged that DR..
Rogers purchased the note from them
at $4,000 and had insisted that they
continue payments that had been ar
ranged under the $4,000 note.
DIR. Rogers recently filed an answer
denying that the plaintiffs We're party
to the transaction, setting forth the
fact that he had purchased the note
from broker, after other individuals
had declined a similar opportunity to
buy, and that he had no negotiations
with the plaintiffs or payees. If there
was usury, he alleged, it was I'M
known to him and must have existed
between the plaintiffs and payees. He
also denied that he had bounded" the
plaintiffs for payment.
After Justice Siddons had signed the
order discharging the rule, the property
was offered for sale yesterday afternoon.
1t brought $4,000 over the first trust,
or only half the amount of the $4,000
promissory note which was secured by
a second trust. DR.. Rogers was repre-
sented by Attorney Thomas M. Baker
Wilbur L. Gray, president of the
Capital Mortgage q Title Co., Inc, filed
an afidavit supporting DR.. Rogers
answer.

the other boroughs as though they
were separate cities
"A publication of the population Of
Atlanta in such manner will be mis-
leading and inaccurate and great and
irreparable injury will be done to the
city of Atlanta and its citizens"
The petition goes on to state that
the standing of the city itself will be
injured If the lower figures are pub

business in real estate transactions,

work damage to the individual citizens

with the Winecoff, Ansley. Henry Grady,
Piedmont and Robert Fulton Hotels, the
Haverty Furniture Co. and Ivan Allen

Census Bureau officials said the ac-
ton was no surprise to them. They had
known Atlanta was dissatisfied with the
bureaus publication OF the Greater At

This action of the bureau, which fol-
lowed long controversy between At

legal opinion. However, the question
was still left open to final decision.
Census Director Steuart. in letter
