A COMBINATION Of radio beacon and submarine
n signals which not only enables ship to get Its
direction but also its distance from ighship has
been perfected in Europe, according TO Dr. OreSteS
H Caldwell president of the New York Electrical
Society and former federal radio commissioner.
Perfection of radio beacon signals for guiding
ships through fog have made it apparent how neces-
sary such an invention has become. Accuracy OF
the radio beam of the lghtShip Nantucket cost the
lives OF seven members of the crew and caused the
destruction of the ship.
On May IS. the giant White Star liner Olympic
was coming in through dense fog getting its bear
ings by radio from the Nantucket stationed of Nam
tucket Shoals
So accurate were the radio signals that the giant
liner came in pointed for the very middle OF the
ligtship and before anything could be done knitted
her way right through the lightShip.
Four of the eleven on the lightshp were
lost at sea the accident Three of the seven who
we're taken aboard the Olympic died from injuries
received in the accident.
The new device described by DR.. Caldwell, will
give a ship its distance from the hghtship and so
ought to prevent the recurrence of such an accident
The new device consists of talking radio beam.
For example the automatic recorded voice on the
radio beam will say. "Flshgate LghtShlp, North sea.
one mile. Two miles. Three miles ana so on
WHEN an ocean liner or other ship equipped
w with the proper receiving apparatus, picks up
the radio beacon it knows that it is on the right
course. All it need do then. is to listen with Its
submarine detection apparatus, for the underwater
takes the underwater signal TO travel
Consequently. if the submarine signal Is heard
at the instant whsn the voice on the radio beacon
saws -four miles" then the captain knows that his
shin is four miles from the lighShip 1t IS possible
therefore for a ship 10 make a continuous cneck
of its position as 1t draws near hghtShip.
II is believed that the same method can be used
10 guide small boats into shelters during fogs In
addition. it can be used to help locate hShermens
dories during fog.
n ECENT complaints about the accuracy Of radio
II beacons have come IN at times when spots were
observed on the sun.
Such spots seem at times 10 be connected with
magnetic storms which make the magnetic compass
useless interfere with long telegraph and telephone
lines and increase displays Of the northern lights
or aurora boresS.
This disaster 10 the Nantucket also has raised the
question Of the ACCESSIBILITY OF having radio beacon
directed IN such way that an oncoming ship
would not be led directly into the lghtShp. There
had been several extremely close ShaveS for the
hghtshp before the Olympic rammed it.

Thus, for example, taking the
most salient Of the indexes of
economy conditions, the federal
reserve board figures for indus
trial activity, we find that from
November to May the index rose
from 70 per cent of the 1928
1925 average to 81 per cent. This
is at the rate of little better than
two points a month and is an
amazingly rapid rate of recovery.
A continuation of this rate for
another six months would restore
activity to the statistical normal.
At even half this rate activity
would be normal within year. 1t
has been accompanied by a slow
but persistent rise in commodity
prices, by a sensational improve
ment in the bond market, by an
immense strengthening not only of
the federal governments credit but
of the credit Of states and mu-
inequalities and railroads, by a
cessation of bank failures, by a
substantial increase OF the earn
ings OF labor and of corporate
profits, by a marked diminution OF
commercial failures.
There are, to be sure, still many
millions of unemployed, there are
millions on relief, there are agri-
cultural areas and industries
which have not revived. But no
one can look at the picture as a
whole and doubt that there has
been immense progress toward re-
cOVerY.

The Building Is Shaking

TN the newspaper business about the first thing
that young reporter learns is that that package
up the high shelf in the publishers office labeled
Acknowledgements" is bomb of such dreadful
power that only the editorial writer is allowed
to dust it off,
And not the editorial writer is allowed to
open it. You pry up the lid on that package up
there on the high shelf by the tiniest crack and,
bang! You might blow up the entire building. Any
way, you will blow yourself out of your job.
Consequently the newspapers, which are the peo-
pies reading, seldom carry any discussion of
ligion beyond the gentle and noncommttal report
ing Of the Sunday sermons on Monday morning and
the church schedule for the Sabbath Saturday.
And a great mass of the most absurd trash is
printed on Monday mornings, uttered by f1ippant
ignorant publicity crazy preachers under the
immunity of the taboo
Much of this matter must be humiliatng to re-
ligion itself because it msrepresents religion so
foully and irresponsibly.
Now I wonder if have blown up the building?

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN'

YOUR eye is the most delicate organ in your body.
l. Therefore, it requires more attention than any
other part of the body.
In most of us, the eyes change as we grow older.
Yet far too many persons fail to consider the changes
that take place / the eyes, because these changes
are so gradual we are not aware of them.
To determine just how much attention Americans
give to their sight, investigators for the United
States Public Health Service looked into the records
of almost 5000 families in 100 cities of eighteen
states for year.
The figures show quite definitely that we do not
have our eyes examined as often as we should. Up
to fifty years of age more women than men have
defective vision. Along about middle life the eye
begins to lose its ability to perfectly and these
changes begin earlier among women than among
men.
TT has been found that the height of the family
i income bears relationship to the amount of care
given the eyes
Naturally persons with larger incomes pay more
attention to their sight than do those with small
incomes, which is probably Of natures little
jokes, since the persons with small incomes need
good sight more than those with larger incomes.
Moreover, those in professional business, or cler-
zeal occupations pay more attention to their sight
than do laborers
For years the medical profession has been urging
physical examination at least each year for
every person who wants to find defects of the body
at the earliest possible moment, and in this way to
give them some sort of control.
The figures show that those persons who have
regular physical examinations also are intelligent
about their eyes, since far greater number of this
class had a good examination Of their vision once
each year
A S an indication of how badly considerable
n number of persons need proper attention TO
their sight the fact was established that 80 per cent
of those who had examinations of the eyes found
that they needed glasses.
You should have your eyes examined properly
at least once each year. particularly after middle fe
Among signs and symptoms of disturbances of the
eyes or of vision are headaches inability to see dis
tant objects better than those held close the eye,
redness and swelling Of the eyeba inside edges
of the eyed.
If a child shows any of these symptoms or if he
rubs his eyes frowns, squints or wrinkles his fore
head he should have his eyes examined Immediately
by some one who understands the nature Of vision.

before my astonished and delighted eyes platter

The knuCke of the pig is just the thing one

does not satisfy. I would say that its presence
never indicated in the brisk days of spring or as
fuel against the bitter elements of winter But from
my point of view pigs knuckle and Sauerkraut is
primarily a summer dainty. Its lightneSS of texture
makes 1t compatible with the Well-knOwn theory
that hot DAYS il Is best to pass by the more hearty

An Interesting Taboo

THE political doctor who marches in parades has
Il divided interest and there those who will
argue that from the professional standpoint the
combination is not ideal Yet, under the patronage
system of government, the appointments to the
medical jobs generally go to doctors who poll
ticians the side, politicians who doctors
between clam-bakes chowder parties, mass-meet-
ings, and paradeS
However, in his political character, DR.. Fama
be admired for his Because it does take
nerve to get up and holler any sort of criticism of
anything that is either Catholic Jewish in New
York City. The cry of bgotrv, religious intolerance
and un-AmericaniSm is terrible to face and few
politicians, business men or professional men in New
York are rash enough to take the chance.
The critic who does this is outnumbered as over
whelmngly the Catholic Jew who dared to get
up and denounce the Ku KluX Klan in, say Goose
Creek Tex, or KiSSimmee, Fla, ten years ago
There may be something in what he says Just as
there serious fault to be found with the actions
of the Ku Klux in those days. but religion is ter
ribly dangerous subject
This is interesting taboo 1t would seem that
if the American standard of intelligence is as nigh
it is supposed to be, the people would be able to
hear criticism of their religion just for the oppor
tunity of explaining and refuting But, instead the
instant that a religion is mentioned the members
of that faith vince and decide deep in their hearts,
that the man who is expressing an honest doubt or
objection is their personal enemy.

Who was this hero, this great
young man? He was the perpe-
traitor of the most fatal crime in
history of the modern world. For
he aSsassinated the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand and his wife in
Sarajevo on June % twenty years
ago today.
This murder of the heir to the
Austrian throne resulted in the
ultimatum by the Austro-Hun-
garian empire to the old Serbia
and let. loose the fatal chain OF
events which led to the wholesale
human butchery OF the World war.
GAVE for a monument to the
- murdered archduke and
archduchesS erected by the Aus
tro Hungarian government in
1917. the tablet to Princip, and the
naming of one of the bridges of
the town-"Princip Bridge" -
there is little in Sarajevo to in
dictate its evil reputation or show
much change at all.
Today the YugoSlav flag flies
where once the Austro-Hungarian
b.nners tapped. Today the big
barracks are filled with Yugoslav
instead of Austrian and Hun
garian troops.
There also is a certain amount
of modernization of the ancient
Russia, of which Sarajevo is the
capital. The Austrian masters
made some modern improvements.
They put up some new buildings.
The Yugoslavs have carried on
this work. But in all essentials
Sarajevo is what it has always
been for centuries-a Turkish
looking town. And the religion of
a considerable part of the town
folk is Moslem, for in 1889 the
Turks broke the back of Serb
power in the great battle of Kos
sovo. And for centuries then the
Turks held the Balkans.

TINE fate of the national labor
i board has precipitated po-
lite but pointed tug-of-war IN
inner New Deal quarters.
Cause of the dispute was the
last-minute passage of the PreSl-
dents substitute for the Wagner
labor disputes bill. Under this act
he is empowered to set up special
boards to conduct employe cleo
lions in industries where labor
controversies arise. The law makes
no reference to the national labor
board, created by executive order
last August under authority of the
MIRA.
Senator Bob Wagner, chairman
of the board, strongly favors its
continuance as a sort of perma-
nent administrative foundation
for such special boards as may
be established, and as clearing
house for minor disputes.
This meets with the approval OF
Madame PerkinS-provided, how
ever, the national labor board is
made an adjunct of her depart
ment, and the trained personnel
of her bureau of Cancellation is
used by the board.
Wagner has no objection to
such an arrangement.
THE President discussed the
i matter at length with both
{ Gals before departing for his
Yale university visit. He indi-
Gated general approval OF their
plans.
But-he did not confer with
General Hugh Johnson, a very
potent party in the shuttle. Pri-
vately Johnson would like to see
the national labor board junked.
This was the basis of his under
cover hostility to the Wagner bill,
which would have greatly in
creased the boards power.
What Johnson wants is aban-
donment of the Nib, leaving the
industrial relations boards, in each
coded industry, to take over its
work. IN cases such as the steel
labor controversy, where these
code agencies are inadequate,
johnson would then have the
President step in by appointing a
special board under the new law.
Undoubtedly the President will
consult with Johnson before he
makes a decision.
What those in the know are
keenly watching is with whom the
President will side: Perkins and
Wagner, or the gathering ex-
cavalryman.
THE beverage list OF General
i Hugh Johnson's NRA first
anniversary dinner showed marked
coding influence. 1t read: "Sher-
~. ad lib, champagne, with rea-
son, port, after the storm, beer,
for those who can handle it." -.
Cotton, wheat and other commod-
ity professors are complaining
bitterly about what they say is
undue delay in getting their re-
bate checks from the AAA.
Privately the professors are hint

to enable the AAA to make bet
ter financial showing at the close

NOR can there be any doubt
Il ' that this real improvement
in conditions is reflected in the
temper of the people. There have,
for example, been some labor dis
putes. But the country thus far
has been spared industrial con.
flicts which are. comparable in
intensity with those that took
place toward the end of the first
postwar depression. The biggest
threats to industrial peace until
now have been composed by nego-
t On.
The congress which recently ad-
journed was, when it was elected,
the most highly inhationary and
the most angry congress which
has been elected in this genera
ton. With one or two lapSes it
maintained its discipline to the
end followed a leadership which
essentially was moderate and, hav-
ing redeemed its pledges to make
laws against the abuses of 1929,
it manifested an unmistakable in
tention not to go beyond the regu-
lation of fragrant evils.
The congress granted vast
rJWerS to the President. But in
spite of the belief in some quar-
tere that he is surrounded by
coterie bent upon overthrowing
private capitalism, the objective
record at the most crucial point,
which is NRA, is marked by a de-
cisive and steady retreat from
the program of RECOMMENDATION"
and restriction Of output.
One would suppose that in the
presence of these developments
there would be in conservative
quarters a feeling of confidence
that our problems are soluble, and
that American institutions are
working sufficiently we'll to justify
a faith that, having met and sur
mounted desperate crisis, we can
deal with what the future has in
store for us. Among the wiSeSt
this confidence does, 1 believe, ex-
list. But it is not the prevailing
attitude of mind, and it would be
interesting to know why it is not.
VXTHEN those who are filled
w with anxiety are asked to
give their reasons, there are, as
might be expected, variety of
responses. One of them is that
the recovery so far is dependent
upon enormous government ex-
penditures and is therefore arti-
fetal; that these expenditures
either will wreck the governments
credit and drive it to the print
ing press, or they will require such
stupendous taxes as to take all
the profit out of private enter
prise. Now, no one can deny that
these dangers exist, and that it is
important to keep them in mind.
The question is whether it is
certain or even probable that
these possible dangers will be
realized.
My own view is that with ordi-
nary prudence and wisdom they
are not probable dangers.
AS for taxes, they are very high,
in my opinion too high for this
stage of recovery. But the very
fact that they are high guaran-
tees ample revenues to balance
the budget as recovery proceeds
to produce profits and bigger in
comes.
