RADIO To GET 7
MORE FANS

The summer of 1884 dill have
the largest radio audience in his.
tory, according to a survey just
released by the Columbia Broad
casting System in conjunction
with the McGraw-Hill Publishing
Company. More than 1000 homes
were added to the radio public
during 1893, and a total of g..
100000 new sets were sold during
that period.
Eighteen million homes, or go
per cent of the entire United
States, are now radio-equipred.
In addition, some 100000 auto
mobile radios were sold during
1888 and the total now in use
is estimated at more than 1.O00.-
600. These and the millions of
portable sets in vogue assure ra-
dio reception to vacationistS even
while travelling.
Another salient point brought
out in the survey is the fact that
of the approximately four million
sets bought in 1888. two million
represented replacement of old
radios. The IS million spent for
these new sets plus another 50
million for new tubes means Nn
expenditure of lis million by the
public in one year to improve its
listening facilities.

Medical science has made rapid
progress in recent years in it's bat
tie against ossification, the dread
disease that turns the muscles of
the body into stone.
This was revealed today by DR..
Edward L. Bauer, professor of
pediatrics at Jefferson Medical
College, who has treated several
So-called "stone" children and who
is a recognized authority on the
rare malady. He said:
Through conclusions reached
in our research work, we have
been able at Jefferson Medical
College Hospital to do q great
deal for these unfortunate chill
dren.
1--WE have been making rapid
strides in our research work
and have been led to believe
that a great deal more can be
done to combat the disease"
Superstition Fought
The physician explained that
he mentioned children specifically
not because the disease does not
attack adults also, but because his
work is limited to child patients.

lingering belief in witch medicine
