VALENTINE DAY
 ORIGIN TRACED
Special Radio Feature to Give History..Life of St.
 Valentine Reviewed

A special radio broadcast from Station WMCA, and the Inter.City network stations in Laconia, New Hampshire; Boston, Mass; Provi- dence, R. T.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Wilmington, Del; and Baltimore, Md, has been arranged by the Ave Maria Radio League in behalf of St. Christopher's Inn, Graymoor. Garrison, N. r., for the night of Valentines Day, February l4. The program will go on the air ct 0:l6 p. m. for Q half hour.
 The subject of the broadcast will be dramatization of principal events in the life of St. Valentine. The saint was priest who lived in the third century. He lived with his family ct Rome and was Q com- panion of St. Marius. The two of them, during the persecution of tho church under the Emperor Claudius II, went about comforting the mar tyrs. Valentine was arrested by the Emperor and tried by the Prefect of Rome. Then he failed to apos- tasize he was ordered beaten with clubs and then beheaded.
 Pope Julius I is said to have built c church near Ponte Mole in mem ory of the prits-martyr.
 The origin of St. Valentines Day customs is probably one of the many present day observances that may be traced to the days of pagan Rome.
 The program, broadcast in behalf of St. Christopher's Inn, is for the assistance of homeless and unem- ployed men who are aided at the place by the Franciscan F.riars Of the Atonement, Graymoor, Garri- son, N. Y. There are more than 200 men being aided daily at the inn and their care draws heavily upon the community supplies of the friars.
 Following the dramatized portion of the program there will be short talk given oy Very Rev. Paul James Francis, s. A., founder and Superior General of the Friars of the Atone ment.

A glass vessel of distilled water was placed
in the zone of the radio. 1t showed no change
in temperature. Then tadpole was placed
IN the vessel. In seven seconds the water had
heated, and the tadpoe was dead. The water
was renewed, and three tadpOles were re-
leased IN it. Within five seconds, all tadpoles
were dead and the water was piping hot
It's easy to see what happened. The polly
wogs served as antennae to pick up the energy
of the radio waves. Thus they became little
stoves, or hot spots, and heated the water The
three tadpoles, offering more conducting ma
terial, heated the water more rapidly than one.
But these effects occurred only in distilled
water. If the fluids of the human body were
some non-conducting liquid, the problem of
destroying bacterial invasion might be easily
solved. But it seems questionable if the human
system can survive fevers exceeding 1O8o,
and there are many varieties of microbes
which endure even higher temperatures.
In all the experiments. Whitney is ever
the chemist weighing the chemical posi-
billties There are, he points out, three COM
mon laboratory uses of heat.
First, it is serviceable in sterilizing ma
terlals and vessels, lie. in killing germs.
Second, heat speeds up chemical reactions.
Whitney wonders if there are not chemical
reactions in the human body which may be
influenced by the fever machine He suggests
such processes as the healing of wounds as
subjects for experiment. Third, the chemist
employs heat to promote solution. Might it
not be that blood and other body fluids dis
solve unwanted solids more readily when
their temperature is higher?
Yes. The thing has been done. Scores of

glass plate. in the radio field. 1t remained cold
But when he placed sausage on the glass
plate, it soon began to sizzle. Thus he was
able to fry eggs pop corn and boil water.
Such experiments suggested that the heat
ing was due to the reception of the radio
waves by a conducting medium And i'm
mediately Whitney visualized the chemical
set-up of the human body: this complex col
ony of innumerable jely-like cells at1oat in
sea of salty blood - electrolytes all, - there
fore, conductors. Millions of times each sec
ond the radio waves reverse, shaking the con-
ducting particles into sudden motions - and
the effect of that agitation is fever.
What's the good of fever? Whitney had
read of the work of Vienna physician who
was using malaria fever to fight paresis. This
latter disease is one in which the blood be-
comes contaminated by microbes which even
tually reach the brain and cause insanity.
The Vienna medical man noticed that when
one of these patients contracted malaria, he
usually recovered from both malaria and pa
resis at the same time. This suggested that
the malarial fever might be fatal to the germs
which cause paresis - and experiment proved
it. So the doctor deliberately inoculated his
patients with malaria - then, by curing the
malaria, he restored his patient to health.
1T occurred to us, ;" related Whitney, that
if fever killed microbes in paresis patients, it
might kill other microscopic bugs as we'll.
so we started our 'microbe' experiments"
He wanted to test the radio fever effect on
an individual microbe, and needed large
scale model He chose tadpole. Miss Helen
Hosmer, DR.. Whitney's laboratory assistant,
conducted the tests.

physicians today are using radio fever to
dissolve limy deposits These deposits usually
form in the small. flat sacs, called ''bursae,"
at the joints In health the saCs are filled
with thin liquid the lubricant of the human
bearings. But over exercise, excessive fatigue
or sudden injury may cause granules to form.
The painful afflictiOn of bursitis follows
Dr. Whitney told of an extreme case. A
young man of the laboratory staff spent a
good part of week end saving wood and
playing tennis and then plunged into cold
pool for swim. Monday he continued his
exercise. Eventually he was carrying his arm
in sling
An X-ray photograph of the stiff shoulder
showed sand in the bearings - the tell
tale granules OF burstis. Then followed
series of hourly sessions with short wave radio
After three treatments, the patient reported
90 per cent of the pain gone. And after the
fifth, he was free of soreness. X-ray photo
graphs taken each day showed the progressive
dwndling and final disappearance of the
granules.
Many other cases are on record, one in

tion was relieved. | have not heard of any
baseball pitchers who have tried the radio
cure for that perennial malady. sore arm,
- but it ought to be worth trial.
If radio heating will promote the solution
of deposits in the bursae, may it not do the
same for deposits in the walls of the blood
vessels - and so relieve hardening of the
arteries?
These and other physiological applications
are for the medical scientists to explore" in
sists Whitney.
While maintaining that medical research
is for medical workers, DR.. Whitney does not
shrink from experimenting on himself Last
winter he slept under single sheet and an
electric blanket woven of wire and fabric no
thicker than the sheet - an ingenious blanket
that DR.. w. d. Coolidge had made for him -
and slept warm and snug through the nights
of one of the severest winters of recent years.
That suggested an obvious idea. Why not
apply the principle of the fever machine to
the heating of dwellings and offices?
1T can be DONE" answered Whitney. But
steam. hot water and hot air are still the more
economical mediums for this purpose, and
seem likely to be for years to come.

- faShlOneO ChlllS ana lever - there
is long roster suggesting, if names mean
anything. that fever is major enemy of good
health.
But today the tables are being turned
Fevers are being deliberately generated in
sick bodies as means of warfare against in
sidious diseases. There are various means of
inducing the fever effect - hot baths, hot
boxes, and even disease germs are practicable.
But perhaps the most widely used agency is
the short-wave radio With it fevers as high
as 1917 have been developed in few minutes.
DR.. Willis R. Whitney, vice-president of
the General Electric Company and for many
years the director Of its research, is one of the
pioneer American investigators of radio fever,
though he is chemist and electrical re-
searcher, not a medical man. Since his recent
retirement from the dictatorship of the lab
oratory, DR.. Whitney has devoted much time
to these and other related studies.
The radio fever effect came to his notice
quite by chance. a group of workers in the
laboratory, experimenting with short-wave
radio, felt strange internal warmth. A ply
sician found that they were running tenn
perature, some as high as 1922. But out of
range of the radio, the temperature abated,
and the victims seemed none the worse.
This incident set DR.. Whitney on the trail
He found the fever effect most pronounced
in a restricted band of radiations, between
six and sixty meters wave length.
Whitney set up two parallel metal plates,
separated by space of two feet. This was
his sending apparatus. Between the plates
radio waves oscillated in an invisible field of
vibrations, millions of times each second.
What kind of objects would they heat?
He placed glass vessel of tap water be-
tween the plates. 1t quickly warmed. But the
same vessel filled with distilled water showed
scarcely any heating after prolonged ex-
posure. Why?
Well, tap water contains dissolved salts and
other minerals; these impurities constitute
what the chemists call an 'electrolyte" -
that is, they enable the liquid to conduct
electricity. But distilled water is pure; it con-
tains no electrolyte; it is a non-conductor.
Whitney placed another non-conductor.
