That's the way Alden is today rs
a result Of the operation performed
by DR.. II. H. Schoenfeld.
The surgeon separated the skull
into halves along a line extended
over the top Of the head from points
just In front Of the two ears. He
inserted metal wedges on each side
Of the head to hold the halves q dis
tance Of about a centimeter and 4
half apart. Then he cut the dura-
meter, the slightly elastic membrane
In which the brain is inclosed. The
brain, at last freed from its un-
natural restraint was given chance
to expand to normal size in the extra
space provided for it-if it had any
growth capacity left.
There was nothing to do then but
wait and study the child's develop
ment.
Discovers Marked Improvement.
A few weeks ago Alden returned
to Children's Hospital, where the
operation had been performed. BY
means Of an encephalogram, the
injection Of air into the fluid areas Of
the brain to determine the brains
size and shape, DR.. Schoenfeld dis
covered marked improvement.
Measurements Of the head as well
as the brain show an increase to-
ward normal size. From an irri-
table, highly nervous child. the boy
has become a playful one. His
vocabulary has increased. The con-
vulsions have ceased.
DR.. Schoenfeld sees no reason why
Alden shouldn't start going to school
next year.
Cautious as he is in commenting
on the child's amazing improvement,
DR.. Schoenfeld admits Alden is
making definite approach to nor
malcy."
Alden was the first child to be
operated on in this way by DR..
Schoenfeld. Six other children have
followed him. One of them was
brought to Children's Hospital when
only S days old. Another, an infant,
was flown down from Boston for the
operation. Hundreds of letters have
come to the surgeon from all over
the United States. Canada and even
as far away as Dutch East Africa
asking If he can help the children Of
the writers.
But DR.. Schoenfeld still isn't ready
to make any conclusive statements
about the operative method. He
won't be satisfied until he's had
many more cases. In the mean.

'Static|ess' Radio
Is Made Possible
By New Receiver
New England Stations
Begin Programs Designed
For Special Apparatus
By MARTIN CODEL.

"StaticlesS" radio, quarry of labo-
ratory and attic inventors ever since
Heinrich Hertz unlocked the secret
of the elusive wireless waves a half
century ago, is today a technical
reality-but it remains to be seen
whether the public is willing to dis
card or supplement present type of
receivers in favor of the new ultra
short-wave model capable of recep-
ton Of so-called frequency modu-
lated signals"
This week there began a 16-hour-
per-day service of program trans
mission, using the Armstrong system
of frequency modulation, over a sub
stantial portion of New England.
Programs transmitted on the 43,000-
kilocycle wave length, which few,
even of the so-called all-wave re-
ceivers now on the market can pick
up, are being offered daily from 8
am. to II midnight over 75-mile
radius around Paxton, Mass, near
Worcester. These programs are dis
tinguished by their utter absense Of
static and their amazingly lifelike
reproduction of music, talk or any
of the sounds that can be made be-
fore the microphone
To receive these programs a list
ener must secure a new kind of
receiver, relatively simple in con-
struction and produced thus far only
in small quantities. The programs
are virtually the same-since they
come from the same source-as
those which are being transmitted
over the score or more stations on
New England's Yankee Network
The difference is in the quality of
reproduction.
The new system is known by the
name of its inventor, Maj. Edwin H.
Armstrong, Columbia Universit !
professor, who gained fame and )r-
tune in radios earlier days as the
inventor of the superheterdyne cir
cult. Maj. Armstrong has built his
own transmitter on the heights near
