long period of winter Information,
when we have sat around inside and
eaten all the delicacies from every
corner of the earth, little fast won't
do us any harm in preparation for
the spring season Of activity. Some
times a day of complete fast is easier
TO take than a partial reduction diet
which simply leases and annoys the
hungry victim.
A great deal Of important scientific
data has been accumulated by the
study Of fasting individuals. Succi.
the professional faster, after fasting
for 80 days. was still excreting 33
grams Of protein every day. which
was about the same amount that he
excreted when he had been fasting

the fact that they feel better at the
end Of the fast, but this again de-
ponds on the type Of person involved.

QUESTIONS FROM READERS

M. c.: II have been advised to use
a mixture Of soda and salt as tooth
powder to combat a softness Of the
gums. In your opinion. Is this treat
ment to be recommended? What
would be the effects of swallowing
this solution over a protracted length
Of time? Would 1t have either a good
or bad effect on the stomach?"
Answer: I believe this is a very
good mixture for tooth powder and
would have a good effect on the
gums. The effects of swallowing any
amount of this would not be harmful.
It's effect on the stomach would be
rather to neutraliZe acid than other
wise. The addition Of a small amount
of magnesium oxide would increase
the alkalinity of the mixture. and the
swallowing of magnesium oxide
would not have any bad effect on the
stomach. In fact, soda and mag
nesium oxide are the components Of
most tablets which are recommended
to be taken by mouth to combat acid.

that he had an easy job" The
person who wanted the man and
woman "clipped"-the under
world parlance for killed-was
described as "a wealthy woman
who lived in Rockville and
worked in the bank" And, Car
ley added, Boland told him the
man she wanted clipped" was
her husband.
Carley testified that Boland
told him he had been engaged to
do the job but wasn't going to
do it-he was just going to
shake her down" and then Car
ley could kill the couple and
get the money.
Boland also told him, Carley
testified. that if he would kill the
couple the woman would give him
the keys to the bank" They
talked till about 2 a. m. and then
left, because, as Carley explained
you can't get no beer after that

They drove down to a roadhouse
below Alexandria, he said, and
drank beer until about S a. m.

ON JOE STATIC
Crew of W. P. A. Workers,
Equipped With L attest
Cadets, Locate Noise.

~ Ado has its ''tune detective"
in Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, he OF
the "do-re-mis and la-ti-dos,"
i Y but now 1t has still another
type of snooper, the noise detective"
hired by Uncle Sam to trail loud
speaker squawks to their lair ana
silence them forever.
In Newark, N. j., the Government,
through w. p. A., has assigned 46
sleuths to rip the screen from the
private life of Joe Static, that curse
Of the ether, in an effort to put an
end to noise created by the devices
Of man, as distinguished from static
generated by the atmosphere.
In their preliminary foraging the
w. p. A. patrolmen Of the Newark
ether have been concentrating on five
sources Of trouble. They are trolley
lines, industrial equipment, household
appliances, power lines and electro
medical apparatus. Ten groups OF
three field workers each have been
assigned to find disturbance centers
In Newark and surrounding Essex
County.
Five groups are equipped with the
latest in gadgets. and they take their
portable receiving sets, ear phones and
directional loop antennas here and
there in the search for noise that Is
music to their prying ears.
A sleuth win wander down a street
until he collides head-on with a rowing
bit of static. AL atwitter, he keeps
going as the interference becomes
louder. When 1t gradually begins to
fade he retraces his steps and locates
the point where the interference
reached its peak.
Suppose it is Pete's Hash House
where the noice is loudest. An elec-
trical sign is flashing on and of. An
other w. P. A. crew goes to the res
taurant next day and asks Pete If its
all right for them to see if the sign is
ticking in hawless manner. They
probe its innards for power leaks,
short circuits and faulty installation.
Having found the trouble, they re-
port it TO the city electrical division,
which asks the owner to eliminate the
cause of interference. If that doesn't
bring results, q local ordinance does.
Removal of man-made interference
Is expected not only to improve broad
cast reception but to enable the local
police to use lower power for their
sending apparatus. The work-relief
project may also be extended to other
communities.
"A LARGE delegation of European
radio officials is coming to the
