The Family Doctor
(New York Tirnes)

The presidential address of DR.. John A. Hartweu, be-
fore the New York Academy OF Medicine will strike a re-
sponslve chord among thousands of readers. The need
OF a medical adviser who possesses some of the attributes
Of the old-fashioned family doctor has been growing as
spec1al1Sm IN medicine has increased. We all should like
TO have a doctor with whom a personal relationship can
exist, and not merely acquaintance with a number of
specialists who look at us as leases" We should like to
feel that there is a physician we can go to with all our
minor aches and illnesses and who will promptly allay
our apprehenSions, or see to it that the danger signals,

IL used 10 be called, or q health examination" as it is
known today.
When specialists are required, as they often may be,
we want our family doctor to name them and interpret
Tor us the scientific details Of their examinations and
treatments. He will lose nothing of prestige by sending
us to an expert but gain much. In the words of a cele-
brated English surgeon, "The more efficient the family
doctor IS. the more ready he is to share responsibility
with q specialist"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Indine

AOV1A1V
Question: Mrs. M. writes: II
have been told that iodine is good for
the blood and rheumatism-eight
drops three times a day in half a
glass of water. Is this all right? If
so, should I take it before or after
mealS?"
Answer: A very small amount Of
iodine is required by the blood, but
there is come evidence to indicate
that iodine should not be used with
out a doctors prescription, since in
some cases it has proved injurious
and has actually increased the size of
some goitres. I believe that the best
form of iodine is that which is OBJ
tanned in sea foods, fruits and vege-
tables.
Fattening Foods
Question: E. o. L. asks: would
like to ask what kind of bread to eat
while on more or less of a diet. I was
eating wholewheat bread and had
cut out potatoes and all starch food,
but read in your column the other
night that ~wholewheat bread is fat
tening."
Answer: The fattening effect of
Wholewheat bread would depend upon
how much you use and, of course.
your degree of tendency toward over
weight.
Angina Pect0ris
Question: Subscriber writes: II
have an unusual case of angina pee
tor1s. What kind of work can / do
That would not hurt me? Would a
fast help me?"
Answer: Many cases of angina
pectoris are greatly benefited by the
orange juice fast. The diet after the
last must be rigidly guarded as to the
correct food combinations. Very
little exercise should be taken during
che fast. but after the diet is started.
moderate exercise should be used and
gradually increased as the strength
of the patient permits.

Philippine Educator
Hits u. S. Free Trade

MANILA.-Dean Maxine M. KalaW
OF the College of Liberal Arts of the
University of the Philippines, who Is
one of the few outstanding Filipino in
dependence advocates, but who is not
politically inclined, presents herewith a
plan whereby he hopes to make his ma
tive land sound and independent eco
nomic unit. He insists that free-trade
relations with the United States have
enslaved the islands to American in
duStry, that while the islands find q
market for their raw products in Amer
lea, at the same time the duty-free
manufacturers of America tend to
monopolize the Philippine market. He
would lower the present Philippine tar
III (Which averages about 25 per cent
ad valorem, but runs as high as 40 per
cent on some lineS) and apply it to all
imports. including those from America
He believes thus that the trade of the
islands might be dispersed among a
larger number of trading countries. He
would Immediately strike at America s
cotton trade with the Philippines, re-
duce the duty by 5 to 10 per cent. MAX
ing prices lower to Filipino buyers, with
the effect of letting into the islands
larger quantities Of competing cottons
from China, Japan and England. THE
tariff establishments should be taken
advantage of by our merchants to en-
gage in foreign trade" he says. "A
policy of tariff protection for our young
industries should be Immediately ap-
proved"

epochal program, tube to produce a
voltage Of 10000 900 to 20,000,O00 volts,
isn't by any means visionary. 1t is
the logical heir of the X-ray tube and
its child the Coolidge tube, by which
100000 volts have already been pro-
duced.
Both Of these tubes-which are. of
glass or quartz evacuated of all air to
a high deeree-use a high voltage to
shoot a streaP of electrons from a
cathode to q target in the tube COM
which becomes the anti-cathode. The
impact of these electrons moving at
nearly the speed of light upon the
target creates what are known as
X-ray or other electromatnetic rays
which shoot from the target to pass
through the glass of the tube onto the
matter they are designed to hit.
Speed Produces Power.
Coolidge found that the higher the
voltage used, the faster the electrons
moved and the more penetrating the
rays that were shot from the target
1t was concluded, therefore, that if a
voltage sufficiently high were possible
that instead of producing X-rays ii
might be possible to produce the
shorter but intensely more penetrating
gamma rays that radium emitS, or by
creating a still higher voltage the
equivalent Of cosmic rays, which pene-
trate 8 feet of lead, might be obtained
Therefore, the conditions that exist in
the sun or other intensely hot solar
bodies might be reproduced and the
infinitely short radiations penetrating
the material to be disintegrated causes
the coalesence of the electron and
proton or conversely their separation
with the release of the intrinsic
energy.
This program has already been out
lined by other physicists in theory, and
although DR.. Compton did not divulge
the exact nature of his proposed ex-
periments, 1t is believed that they will
follow along the lines set forth here.

hest and ultra violet rays), was until
recently deemed puzzle by scientists.
For considering the bulk of the sun, 1t
should have radiated away its entire
mass in 10000 yeais--and 1t has really
existed for more than five trtl!ion years
already. The explanation, says DR..
Compton, lies In the fact that in the
intensely hot interior of the sun, where
temperatures of 10000 900 degrees exist,
matter itself is destroyed and the atom
becomes free energy. The proton and
electfon of the atom coalesce, just as
the earth might fall into the sun, and
from this atomic explosion tremendous
stores Of energy are generated which
are shot into space AS photons. or par
ticles Of radiant energy. The entire
universe is composed ultimately of only
three units-protonS, electrons and
photonS.

matter completely and to thus liberate

las we burn coaD the sun, as well as
other stars in the universe, have been
enabled to distribute energy at an eX-
traordinary profigate rate for cons OF

To make another analogy, DR.. Comp
ton has estimated that the energy lib
Grated from the atoms Of teaspoonful
OF ordinary water would be sufficient
to provide power for the entire indus
trial and social life of New York City.
And Of the 400,000 tons radiated away
by the sun each second the earth re-
ceives but one ounce-but this is suffi-
cient to heat and light our planetary

that of light, 10000 miles a second.
This atomatic system is possible only
because of the attractive forces of the

charges. The system, therefore, consti1

SHORT but merry life may be
~ the fate Of the human race, II
~ the researches DR.. Arthur
4 A Compton, Nobel prize winner
and University of Chicago
physicist, is going to undertake upon
the structure Of the atom are success
full. DR.. Compton, who has recently
completed a series Of lectures on THE
Nature of Things" at the College OF the
City of New York, is on his way back
to his laboratory to investigate, and
possibly solve, the mystery of atomic
energy.
What then has been considered by
imaginative writer's and theorists as

and by others as the subject of pseudo
scientific fiction becomes, in the begin
ming of the fourth decade OF the twen-
tieth century, realiZable goal Tor one
of our most distinguished practical SCI
entists.
DR.. Compton makes no promises OF
what he can achieve: 1t may ultimately

pursuing; but. as he stated, ut prom

Universe Running Dry.
Science has discovered, according to
DR.. Compton, that the tremendous
stores of energy which the universe
possessed at its inception, are being ra-
dated away by millions of gigantic
suns, and therefore. like limited res
ervoir, it is running dry. Contrary to
the contentious held by some phySi-
cists. DR.. Compton does not believe that
in other parts of the universe this en-
ergy is being recreated. What is lost is
lost. and when the time comes that the
universe's initial store of energy is ex-
hausted, some thousand million million
years hence, the universe will be a
burned-out, lifelesS. motionless cosmos.
Our own sun, for example, ra6iates
away energy to the equivalent of some
10000 tons of mass each second and
at the end OF one trillion years more
it will float in space a burned-out Gin
Ger. surrounded by planets upon whose
surfaces life will long since have ceased
to exist.

upon earth virtual industrial mil
lennium that will transform every phase
Of our lives.
All labor. all machinery, all means of
transportation could then utilize atomic
energy, and so far as power Is concerned
the human race would be freed from
toll. DR.. Compton presents to men a
vision of future achievement that
throws into insignificance our attempts
to conserve a bit of coal here and a bit
of oil there in order to prevent q fuel
shortage in the generations, to come.
How, then, can all this be done, so
that the millennium proposed by DR.
Compton may come about?
In the first place. DR.. Compton states,
he cannot assure US that the atom will
be induced to yield up its secrets. We
cannot, duplicate on earth the produce
ton OF temperatures of 100000 de-
grees, and even II we did nothing
known to us could contain such enor-
nous temperatures, and the expert
menter, his laboratory and possibly q
good share of the earth itself would
vanish in a wisp of vapor. Then, again
it may be discovered that the energy
required to annihilate the atom and the
attendant physical difficulties are so
tremendous that the game will not be
worth the candle.
But in the absence of definite
knowledge that this tremendous feat
cannot be accomplished Dr. Compton
Is willing to assume that it may be.
He sees such great promise for
humanity residing in the atoms locked
heart that he is determined to devote
his remarkable talents in the future to
the exploration of this Eldorado.
X-Ray Tube Proposed.
What DR.. Compton proposes is to
construct form of X-ray tube known
as the Coolidge tube to produce the
equivalent of 100000 to 10000, 900
volts. BY the enormous voltage of his
tube a stream Of radiant energy pos
sessing the penetrating powers Of the
Gamma rays Of radium will be shot at
the matter to be disintegrated. The
electron of the matter will be driven
from its accustomed orbit about the
proton either by collapsing upon the
proton, with the resulting disintegra-
ton and the production Of energy, or
the electron will be torn away from
the proton entirely, with a correspond
ing release of energy. His tube, there
