 Two Previous M0blli1a tons
 During the Italo-E Ethiopian eon- flict Mussolini twice mohiliEed the entire nation to listen to important declarations, From tho experience gained on these occasions govern ment radio engineers are perfeeting the physical apparatus for the next mobilization,
 The importance the government assigns to radio Is seen in the re- cent creation of special radio department in the Ministry of Pop- ular Culture, formerly tho Ministry of Press and Propaganda, This di- vision organizes progrems for in- ternNl and foreign consumption,
 It interoepts foreign programs to learn what other countries arc thinking and saying about Italy, Another and more delicate task Is interference with foreign stations which broadeaStS Fascist news It prepares and transmits programs In virtually all foreign languages with the express purpose of com batting anti Fascist propaganda abroad.
 The physical equipment will be increased considerably and ln- proved during the current year A new station, described as the most powerful and modern the world, will be erected at Prado Smeraldo, outside Rome. It will be. connected by underground cables with Pala2- 70 Venezla (MuSsolini's ofiice), PGl- azzo Littorio headquarters Of the Fascist party) and Via dell1mpefo, tho avenue where reviews and dem- onstrations are held,
 Has 100 XIV Power
 The new station will boast two transmitters of 100 XIV, two of 10 XIV and a fifth of 30 XIV, They wll be used to transmit news to every continent and keep in con- StNnt contact with the colones,
 The stations at Milan, Turin, Naples, Genoa and Bologna will be strengthened by additional power andA new equipment, Smaller sta- tionS will be erected at strategic eenterS.
 The government also has ordered the construction of e fleet of radio trucks" which can transmit pfo- grams from out-of -the-Way places.
 Fascist officials are of the opinion that the radio will play an import ant part in the next war and Italy must be prepared The genius Of dugiielmo Marconi, radio inventor, has been placed at tho complete disposition Of tho government.

Infantile Paralysis
 Basis Of Keen Study
Attention Focused on Development of Nasal Spray as
 Means of Preventing Dreaded Disease

Recent studies of tho methods for the prevention of poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis have shown that the virus enters the body through the alfactory nerve which provides the sense of smell, and attention is therefore now being focused on the development of . nasal spray as e means Of preventing the dis ease, 1t Is reported by pr. Willard Knowlton, director of the bureau of preventable diseases of the state de- partment of health.
 Writing in the departments cur- rent monthly bulletin, Dr. KnoWl- ton describes experiments on monk eys the only animal other than man which Is susceptible to the disease, although monkeys do not infect each other as humans do. It has been demonstrated that when the olfactory nerve is severed, monkeys do not become infected even when large quantities of the polioinyelitis virus are injected into the blood stream. On the other hand, control animals with olfac- tory nerves intact come down with poliomeyelitis after such injections, the virus apparently making It's way to the nasal mucuous membrane with the sccretions and thus reach- ing the endings of the nerve, which are verys close to the surface of the membrane. The virus may also at- tack through other nerves if they have been injured in such a way as to permit the blood streams to reach the nervous tissues direct.
 Protecting Nerve
 Naturally, severing of the olfac- tory nerve destroys the sense of smell, so this drastic method of pre- vention is utterly out of the ques- ton for practice on human beings, and 1t is for this reason that some method for protecting that nerve from the virus is being sought by scientists. To date the sprays devel- oped are in the experimental stage, and Dr. Knowlton warns that they should be employed for treatment only under the direction of a physi- clan.
 Another method which might pro- tect humans from poliornyelitis is solitary seclusion from all human contact at the first sign of an out break of the disease, but this, too, is definitely impractical in modern civilization. The convalescent serum which was used extensively during the 1881 outbreak to prevent paral- ysis after the disease had been dag nosed in the early stages Is now completely in the discard, pr. Knowlton reports. No better results were observed In the serum -trcated cases than in cases treated without serum. Moreover. the recent studies

STRAND

Heading the current show at Warmer Brothers Strand theater IS the Taelodramatic sock hit Kid Gal ahad".
 Seldom indeed Is a trio of stars such as Edward c. Robinson, Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart cast in the same film. The director was Michael Curtiz who made such recent triumphs as "The Charge Of the Light Brigade" and Captain Hlood."
 An not only that Kid Gala had" himself "a lad so-called because of his high regard for women is new actor. only 23, called Wayne Morris, who appears <iestined to join the ranks Of top stars on the strength of this one picture.
 The new leading lady who holds his romantic interest is an upcom- ing girl, too - Jane Bryan, who scored a triumph in Marked Wo- man." as Bette Davis sister.
 A great story and a magnificent &nsti "Kid Galahad" looks like one of f937,s very best
 Robinson plays prize-fight manager. Miss Davis is his girl friend, Fluff" Humphrey Bogart is Eddie's rival manager. Robinson is none too straight; Humphrey is ! an out-and-out crook
 or course, you expect - and get - great performances from Miss Davis, Robinson and Bogart. But ksep your eyes on this new boy, wayne Morris, and see if you don't join the predictions about stardom for him.
 The companion feature is Way out West" comedy that will have you in stitches. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy have the leading roles. You can guess the rest of it {. laughs from start to finish.

day. Moving northward and east Wadr, the traveller encounters fa- bled alem: then world-famed 0lou- cester, sending ts fishing boats out Into tho mighty Atlantic the year around. Then comes Essex, birth place of many . stout sailing craft; Portsmouth in New Hampshire with It's great navy yard; Portland, Bath, Wiscasset and the siland-dot. ted coast of Maine stretching away to far off EaStport.
 Such Q tour gives an unforget- table pcture of the part the sea has played in the making of Now Eng. land.
 Historical Angle
 Another theme for q motor trip Is historical. The highways trace the paths of the pioneers, and on entering New England you will be- gin to encounter the originals of the town names you know in your own neighborhood.
 And oil along the roads you will see markers calling your attention to houses, fields, and streams, whose names are preserved In history books. Old oaken doors showing still the scars Of British bullets and In- dan arrow heads. A bronze tablet on q granite boulder tells the tragic story of c massacre or c battle. Statues recall the lie and deeds Of e great man.
 You can travel from village to village and read the past in terms of visible tokens.
 Each of the six states has It's memorials of which it Is proud. De- tails concerning them arc available at the state capitols and from the New England Council. You will want to sec all the famous ones, but don [ overlook the less well known.
 If you have an interest in seeing the stars of Broadway and Holly. wood ct close range, track them down to the summer theaters of New England. This great entertain. inent development of the last few years has won thousands of follow CTS. Under the summer Sky or In an airy remodeled barn tilN best of plays with the brightest Of talent are presented each week.

have shown that no matter how many antibodies the serum adds to the blood the antiboeies cannot reach the nerve tissue which Is the point of attack Of the virus. After the serum lost caste, Q serious ef- fort was made to bring infantile paralysis vaccine to the front as a prophylactic procedure, but the vac- cine was found to be not only worthless but also dangerous to the extent that Dr. Knowlton warned a manufacturing firm against market ing the product in Connecticut. He states that there Is rather definite evidence that the vaccine may have caused poliomyelitis in some cases.
 Nasal Spray
 Thus, the best hope for preventing the disease at the present time rests in development of a nasal spray and extensive experience in its use upon humans will be necessary before 1t is perfected, since humans unlike the experimental monkeys infect each other, and are therefore prob ably more susceptible to the disease and require greater protective effect.
