BROADCAST ILLS
CITED BY HANLEy
Hits Wave-Lengihs Waste;
Urges Curb on Radio
Advertising.

While Chairman z. o. Sykes Of the
Federal Radio Commission was acting
as spokesman for the commission be-
fore Senate and House committees
considering President Roosevelt's pro-
posal to establish a Federal Com
| municationS Commission, James H.
Hanley, radio commissioner from the
fourth zone Of Middle Western States,
took the occasion of his first ami
versary in Office last week to issue a
press statement setting forth what he
believes to be wrong with American
radio.
1ndorsing along with Judge Sykes
the idea Of commission that would
regulate the telephones and telegraphs
, as well as radio, even though it would
displace the Radio Commission, Mr..
Hanley went further than Judge
Sykes did at the congressional hear
ings and pointed out what he regards
as the two major ills in the present
regulation Of radio. One was what he
called the 'woeful waste of wave
lengths, and the other is the need for
more curbs upon radio advertising.
Nine Channels Not Clear.
Nine of the 40 clear channels re-
served in the reallocation of 1928 are
no longer clear, j. e., they are no
longer occupied exclusively at night
by single high-power stations. This is
as it should be, In the opinion of
Commissioner Hanley, who regards as
step forward the recent action Of
the commission in authorizing expert
ments on three more clear channels
to determine whether or not simultane-
GUS operation on clear channels is
feasible.
we trust" he stated, that these
experimentation will be satisfactory
because their success will make it
possible to utilize to a much greater
extent than at present many desirable
radio channels and TO reduce the
present excessive duplication of chain
programs.
There are now too many clear
channels. More people would be
served and better service rendered if
We had more regional channels where
by several stations could be accom-
modated on the same frequency rather
than preserve for the exclusive use
Of favored stations an entire channel,
when it is we'll known that the re-
liable service area of even high
powered stations is less than 200
miles"
Fewer big fellows" and more little
fellows" are needed in radio, the West
ern commissioner asserts, and he also
wants set aside "a liberal number of
channels for the exclusive use Of
educators and educational institu-
tions." He contends that 1T is more
important in the interest of the public
welfare and well being that 10000
people listen to learned discussion
or lecture than it is for 100000
people to listen to great many of the
programs that are now being broad
cast"

Hawaii is the key to protection
of the Pacific coast and any ma

It's position makes an attack from
Asia almost impossible.
Pearl Harbor is a natural base,
more than sixty feet deep, cover
ing ten square miles and reached
by a tortuouS channel from the

from the ocean and mountains

The base has been constantly
developed since 1920 and has a

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsRBEIN

A THOUGH the infectious chest condition called
n pleursy comes most often during cold weather,
as do other such conditions of the respiratory tract,
you should know, even during these hot summer
days exactly what this is and what to do about 1T,
in event of an attack.
Pleurisy is a condition that relates to the
brane covering the lungs and lining the chest
iety. This membrane is called the pleura.
In the chest cavity ordinarily, the lungs move
freely with breathing. If however you should feel
sharp pain there during breathing, the pain usual
ly is referred to the peura When infection is pres
ent, there is swelling Inflammation, and the pouring
out Of fluid.
DERSONS who work under conditions of poor
L ventilation dusty surroundings, or in the
presence of many of infections of the lungs,
more likely to be infected with peurisy than are
others
Although it is well established that germs are
usually the of pleursy, it is recognized that
exposure to the elements, fatigue, and exhaustion
may give the germs opportunity to invade the body
and bring about Infection
You can tell when you get pleurisy by feeling
pain with every breath. Breathing is likely to be
short, rapid and shallow.
You will try to keep the affected side as quiet as
possible, tending to lean toward that side and to
upon it, in this way keeping it quiet dur
ing sleep.
Persons with pleurisy also resent motion of the
trunk and frequently will be observed holding the
painful side with the hand
Because Of the difficulty in breathing you also
will have cough that is painful but which does not
bring up infected material. ~.
NTHEN the doctor examines a person with pleur-
w isy, he is able to hear with his stethoscope a
number of sounds which help him to make his dag
nosis
One of these sounds is cracking and rubbing,
due to the fact that pleura is not smooth and there
fore, rubs during breathing.
In an attack of pleurisy there are number OF
simple things that you do to get relief from the
pain.
First, Of course is quiet rest in bed Second comes
the application of heat and cold.
Usually ice bag applied to the painful area
gives more relief than does heat Some persons,
however. to have greater comfort with the hot
application than the cold.
OF course, anything that will keep the chest quiet
viii help relieve the pain
One of the best methods of keeping the chest
quiet is to strap the side concerned with adhesive
tape These straps usually put on at right angles
to tie spine

Today's Science
BY
David Dietz

NNETY-TWO chemical elements are known TO
the world today. unless We wish TO include the
apparently synthetic ninety-third element manufac-
tred by Professor Fermi Of Italy. In the history of
mans discovery Of these elements lies the record of
the physical universe.
The distinction between chemical elements and
compounds was unknown to the ancients 1t
FIRST proposed IN 1861 by Robert Boyle and its full
significance was not appreciated until the work Of
AvOgadro in 1911. He introduced the distinction
between the atoms Of elements and the molecules Of
compounds.
Professor Harrison Hale Of the University Of Ar
kansas, IN an interesting report prepared for the
American Chemical Society. points out that only
nine Of the ninety-tWO elements were known to the
ancients. This is another way of saying that all of
the substances which the ancents knew and used
we're compounds with the exception of nine.
Seven Of the nine elements known to them were
metals They we're copper. gold. iron, lead, mercury
silver and tin. Two Of them were nonmetals, namely
carbon and sulphur.
Twelve centuries passed before definite knowledge
Of other elements was added to this list In 1850
arsenic was discovered. Anthony was found IN
1850 So that when Columbus sailed across the ocean
and discovered America, the world had knowledge
Of eleven chemical elements.
MORE than two centuries elapsed before twelfth
wi element was added 10 the list. Then came the
discovery of phosphorus in 1863.
The other eighty elements all represent discov-
cries of the last 200 years.
While ninety-two chemical elements are known
in the free state These seventeen are actlnum ala
bamine dyprosum. erbum. europium. gadOlinum,
holmium ilnium, lutecium, masurium, polonium,
protoactinium scandium, terbum, thulum, virgin
ium and ytterbium.
DEVEL OPMENT Of instruments and new
- techniuues had much to do with the discovery
Of the other chemical elements, Professor Hale says
Eectroyss was responsible for the discovery OF SIX
of the fourteen chemical elements which we're found
in the first decade of the nineteenth Gentry These
six potassium, SODIUM calcium, barium, stron-
tium and magnesium.
Indirectly, the electric current was also respon-
sibIe for the isolation of boron. In more recent
years eectrOysis has been used to prepare rubdium
cesium. cerum, galum and aluminium, although of
this group only gallium discovered by eectroyss
All but of the eleven elements found between
1860 and 1879 located with the aid Of the spec
troscope. These included cesium and rubdium dis
covered By KirchOf and Bunsen, the perfecters of
the spectrOscope, thaium by Crookes indium by
Reich and Richter, helium by Lockyer, samaritan by
DE Boisbaudran. ytterbum by Marignac, holmium
and thullium by Cleve.
