ANY doctor or dentist can tell in
the first five minutes a child spends
in his office what sort of home train
ing that child has had; what sort OF
mental atmosphere surrounds it;
what sort of authority the parents
WELD. These things show, them
selves not in words but in actions.
A boy of nine is brought to my
office. Signs of tears as he comes IN.
Mother in a coaxing voice says:
Now show the doctor what fine
little man you can be- "Will ne
hurt? He's going to hurt NE
and he starts to cry. 1 get him into
the chair and put napkin around
him, but it involves a struggle,
coaxing, patience. 1 pick up an in
strument. Instantly his hands fly
over his mouth: Don't put that
thing in my mouth. You're going to
hurt. Oh Mamma" A sitting
like that is a days work.
Another lad comes in with his SIS
ter-eleven and nine. They are po-
lite; curious in a natural, childish
way about my equipment; the Mo-
ther greets me with: I'VE nave
been counting the days until we
could come, Doctor" The boy
would have said couch" once if my
fingers had not been in his mouth,
but under the circumstances merely
grunted when the drill hurt The
little girl smiled at me and said:
"Thank you very much, Doctor Wilt
berger" as she got down out OF the
chair after a fairly trying half hour.
But they were fresh when they left,
and so was 1.
What makes the difference? The
PARENTS. Some parents do not tell
their children what is coming until
they walk into the office. Some pre-
pare" them by warning them of the
pain. Some talk in the children's
presence of their own hatred OF
dental and medical offices, of their
horror of operations, and act as
though doctors and dentists were
ogres who delight in inflicting pain.
The parents of the boy and girl of
whom have told are totally differ
ent. They started taking the chill
dren to dentists when they were
three or four, and treated the novel
experience like a trip to the circus,
to be anticipated and enjoyed. Ma
turally, on looking over these baby
teeth no pain was involved. But the
l'buzz wheel" the paper cups, the
tiny mirror were all interesting, and
the compressed air mouth wash gave
them a great thrill. After that first
trip dentist" was a synonym for
'friend" and they came to me, when
the family moved to Washington, ex-
pecting to enjoy my company ra-
ther than to fear and detest me.
You parents with intelligence and
a bit of forethought can prepare
your children for the necessary and
essential health measures, from
brushing the teeth morning and
night to having tonsils Out-the easy
daily habit to the possibly painful
surgical procedure-withOut the
slightest element of deception. If
you do, your children will form good
health habits and will act like hu-
man beings at the school health eX-
animation, in the dental chair, at
vacation time, when the tOXin-anti-
toxin needle pricks, and in other
such times. If you fail, the young
sters will act like little frightened
animals, and it will be your fault.

SOME AMERICAN OBSERVATIONS
By Jay Taylor


The direct primary was adopted
originally on the theory that the
I people should select their own rep
fesentatives, but it hasn't worked
out very well. Under this plan the
choice must be made too often be-
tween two or more undesirable can
didates. Some day the evils of the
old boss system will be eliminated
and the convention plan re-establish-
= ed, which, after ALL is strictly in line
with our American system of repre-
sentative government.
Certain American editors that
were accusing our government of
imperialism when it was doing its
best to restore peace in Nicaragua
are now strangely silent while the
British Empire is using warlike
is measures to suppress the revolution
i ary tendencies in Egypt and India.
Will someone kindly explain what
is the matter with such American
editors?
( One handicap that faces the finan-
ciers, who are hoping eventually TO

the German reparation bonds, is the
fact that other European countries
,have already appropriated all the
Jepithets which Germany might wish
to use against her American cred
itors when they hesitate to cancer
the obligations.
Perhaps the new tariff will help
,haintain our present wages and our
American standard of living, give a
better market for our farm products
and increase our foreign trade. Auy-
way, that is what has always hap
-pened before.
All Americans, who are interested
in our foreign trade, are pleased
with the development of our mer-
chant marine. Only when fair pro-
nortion of our foreign shipments are

MARCON DOUBTS
RADIO WAVE LIMIT
Believes They Reach Millions
of Miles Beyond "Heaviside"
Layer of Atmosphere.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTO, Italy, September 1.-THE
Marchese Guglielmo Marconi, inventor
of wireless telegraphy, in the inaugural
address at the second meeting of the
italian Society for Advancement of
Science today, expressed belief that
radio waves may travel long distances,
even millions of miles beyond the
earth's atmospheric layer.
He said he did not see any reason
why, as some scientists maintain, waves
produced on the earth should not travel
such a distance, since light and heat
waves reach us from the sun, penetra-
ting the atmospheric layer.
He referred to the observations of
such scientists as Stormer and FederSen,
and commented that the former cleo
trif1ed particles derived from the sun
and under the magnetic influence of
the earth which acted as q reflector of
electric waves from the earth after they
had passed the so-called Heaviside and
Kenelly layer.
Rejecting Layers Exist.
'The existence of various rejecting
layers" he said, 'tis the best hypothesis
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-11

system, and he pointed out that quail
ties of short waves have been studied
and demonstrated by him since 1915.
Owing to the usefulness of these
waves, he said, powerful organizations,
owning more than so per cent of the
worlds cables, had been obliged to come
to terms with the Marconi Co.
He related how radio waves often
chose the longer route rather than the
nearest distance between the commu-
nicating stations and he referred to a
paper read by him on this subject to
the Institute of Radio Engineers in
New York in 1922, adding that this
phenomen Is already fully exploited
in radio transmission
He said wireless echoes were among
the most fascinating of phenomena,
capable of disclosing the most useful
facts. He divided echoes into classes
according as they indicate that cleo
trio waves have covered distances be-
fore returning to us In the form Of
echoes shorter or longer than the cir
conference Of the earth.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-11

on which to base an explanation Of long
distance wave transmission which over
comes the curve of the earth. Layers
capable of rejecting electric waves exist
at heights varying with the hour of the
day and the season of the year. These
layers also are influenced by the effects
of light, by electric and magnetic activ-
ity of the sun, and by other causes yet
unknown.
THE influence of these layers on the
propagation of electric waves explains
the variations observed in the waves
intensity and travelling distance accord
ingly as they travel through the illumi-
mated or dark zones. This again would
point to the capital Importance OF the
season and of the hour for determining
what waves are most suited to radio
transmissions.
Radio engineers should therefore
keep in touch with the work OF meteor
ologiSts and astronomers, but IL Is
equally useful for the latter to keep IN
touch with the former, owing to the
powerful means which modern develop
ments have placed at the disposal OF
radio stations"
Angle Of Transmission Important.
Marconi said that because Of these
rejecting layers the angle of transmits
sion in respect to the surface OF the
earth is Of great Importance. He
limited at the possibility of electric ex-
ploration Of space. Speaking of the
new under-l0 -meter short wave radio
stations, operating between Italy and
Sardinia, he said that these waves
would seem to be reflected and con-
tanned In space between the surface Of
the earth and q layer much lower
than the heaviside layer, while other
observations made with short waves
above 10 meters would seem to show
that these waves are not confined to a
limited space near the earth.
The inventor analysed the progress
in radio communication obtained by
means of short waves and the beam

federation of Industrial Chambers Of
Commerce. at the opening of their con-
vention, that the formation of joint
body for the protection Of all who EN-
ploy labor in Mexico was essential 70
the prosperity of the country.
He said that while there was admit
tedly a necessity to protect labor, 1t
was equally necessary to give employers
complete direction over their factories
and ofices. Employers, he said, must
be allowed to select their own employees
and readjust their personnel whenever
necessary without molestation. He ex-
pressed the belief that probably not
one industrial development In Mexico
had paid a dividend in five years.
