UTAH Radio Shrieks, Howls About to Be Banished Silent Itlc achievement will banlsu heterodyne ehrleka and howls from the rudlo broadcast buud end event-ually permit the smooth operation of hundreds of broadcasting stations without Interference. This forecast was made recently by O. II. Oil dwell, acting bead of the federal rudlo commission, who de-clared that for 11)28 muny Interesting possibilities present themselves. "One of the dilutions of the chaos problem will come through single side-band transmission, reducing by one-hal-f the necessary 10 kilocycle separa-tion of stations und permitting effec-tive operation of practically twice as many stations," Caldwell suld. "To explain: The wave which car-ries the music from a broadcasting station vibrate like a tuning fork ap-proximately 4.000 cycles on euch side of the tero of the frequency It tnkes up a channel space of 8,000 cycles. When the channels overlap there Is Interference, "Single side-bun- transmission means a reduction of the vibration on but one side of the zero of the fre-quency. Caldwell said that progress In the study of practical ura of this form of transmission brings the possibility of Its use by broadcasting stations. This does not meun that twice the present 600 stations could operate without Interference, but that double the number could operate effectively, or probably 800 might be accommo-dated In the broadcast bund between 600 and 1,500 kilocycles with proper time division. v Caldwell sees possibilities In the broadcasting of chain programs on three or four frequencies Instead of 20 to 30 that are used now. This Is a technical problem, Involving building of broadcasting equipment In which the transmitting frequency may be shifted with fuclllty. The radio com-mission will not limit chain broadcast-ing, but Caldwell believes broadenst-er-a may themselves become convinced of Its practicability. The advertising value ot radio time would not be reduced by chain broad-castln- g on a limited number of chan-nels, according to Caldwell. This fac-tor will have a conclusive bearing upon adoption of the new system. Whale Battles Are an Exciting Sport .i .Thrasher and Swordfish Its Enemies and Combat It to Death. New York. Although the chief whaling grounds are now found In the Southern Pacific whales are numerous enough In warmer seas to furnish a thrill now and then for shipmasters and fishermen. Passengers aboard the liner Vestrls off the Island of Barbados, recently witnessed a sight seldom seen by ocean travelers. A whale, a thrasher, or swordfish, and a blackflsh were d In combat, with the whale on the defensive. The blucktlsh leaped Into the air and threw Itself on the whale's bock with terrific force. The swordfish engaged the whale from be-low, lunging continually with Its sword. . It was quite evident that the sword fish and blackflsh were allies, for each - time the blackflsh forced the whole below the surface the swordfish Jubbed at him and forced hlra up again. The whale leaped out of the sea so that Its whole body could be seen and tried to shake off Its enemies. The ship left the scene before the fight had reached a decision, but It Is likely that the whale was done to death. Some weeks ago a school of 120 whales. was stranded on the shores of Scotland near the village of Bonar Bridge. Shoals of herring hod ap-parently lured the whales Into the shallow water and there they were trapped. Problem for Scots. The problem of disposal was a dif-ficult one for the villagers. Some time before the burlul of a single stranded whale cost them 20. The thought of burying 120 whales almost threw the village Into a panic until a Britisher happened along and, hav-ing examined the carcasses, found them to be a variety of the killer whale. The British museum ordered the skeletons to be sent to London and the blubber was sold by the vil-lagers. Whales, except the "killer" variety, are usually of a peaceful nature. The killer whule Is of little use commer-cially, but Is feared by other species and by fishermen.' Frank T. Bullen, in his "Cruise of the Cachalot," de-scribes the depredations of three kill- - ers when attacking a bowhead. j "The killer, or Orca gladlutor, Is a true whale," he says, "but. like the cachalot, has teeth. The first Inkling I got of what was really going on was the leaping of a killer high into the air by the side of the whule and de-scending upon the victim's broad, smooth back with a resounding crash. I saw that the killer was provided with a pair of huge fins one on his bock, the other on his belly which at first sight looked as if they were also weapons of offense. A little ob-servation convinced me Hint they were fins only. Again and again the ag-gressor leaped Into the air, falling each time on the whale's back, as If to beat him Into submission. "The sea around foamed and boiled like a caldron, so that It was only occasional glimpses I was able to catch of the combat, until presently the worried whale lifted his head clear out of the surrounding smother, revealing two of the furies hanging, one on either side, to his lips, as If endeavoring to drag his mouth open, which I afterward saw was their prin-cipal object, as whenever during the tumult I caught sight of them they were still In the same position. At las the tremendous and Incessant blows, dealt by the most active mem-ber of the trio, seemed actually to have exhausted the Immense vitality of the great bowhead, for he lay supine upon the surface. Then the three Joined their forces and succeeded In dragging open his cavernous mouth, Into which they freely entered, de-vouring his tongue. This then had been their sole object, for as soon as they had finished their barbarous feast they departed, leaving blm help-less and dying." Encounters With Vessels. One of the enemies of the whale Is the giant octopus. Actual battles between them have been recorded by eyewitnesses. The octopus, a deep-wate- r creature, throws Its long ten-tacles around the whale, at the same time laying down a "smoke screen" of black fluid, but the whale often manages to break loose and kill Its adversary. Whales are sometimes killed by ves-sels. The Berengnrla sighted a school of whales on a Sunday afternoon. One of them left his comrades and made for her. The big liner struck him fairly and destroyed blm. The destroyer Lamson was bumped by a whale but without material damage either to ship or fish. a World Languages 1 Total Nearly 3,000 $ Berlin.

IJIstorlc old houses In nar-row little streets 700 years old are being torn down to the Joy of sanitary experts and the despair of lovers of old Paris. Light, virtue and cleanliness never flourished in the dark houses with cracked walls, crnzlly leaning fronts and jluugeonlike cellars. In these narrowest streets of the old city, how-ever, were born the early systems of street lighting, sweeping, policing, garbage collecting and the national opera.' The Rue de la Reynle was named for un ancient chief of police, who or-dered the bourgeois of the district to maintain, light at nightfall and extin-guish at dawn, cundle lanterns at specified Intervals. De la Keynle also organized day and night patrols of "archers," who trav-eled In squads because swords often flashed In those days. The Hue de Venlse close by was the quarter of the usurers. In the Hue Brise-MIch- fa-mous because of an old bakery there that once supplied a nearby monas-tery, there are the hooks to attach a chain that barred the street on occa-sions In the days of Louis XL Sometimes the girl helps her bash-ful lover out and sometimes her fa-ther does It.

New Method for Cutting Crystals; May Clear Air The federal radio commission has heard that a new method ha been found for cutting crystals which gives them greater accuracy In keeping sta-tions on their assigned waves. If the report Is true, It Is believed that a lot of Interference to broadcast reception may be prevented. llere Is a letter from Commissioner O. II. Caldwell to Commander O'Berlln, of the Naval Research laboratory, g for Information. "Indirectly I have learned of some very significant discoveries which have been made In your radio laboratories on methods of preparing plezo-electri- e crystals, by grinding them with respect to their molecular axes, so that: "1. Resulting plezo-electrlc- crys tals have definite and uniform tern pernture coefficient. "2.

FERTILIZER CHEMISTS CATCH UP ON EUROPEANS Adoption of New Process by French Reverses Order of Things in Industry. Birmingham, Ala. The rapid ad-vance of chemical engineering In the United States within the last few years is being significantly demon strated by the udoptlon of on Amer-ican process and upparutus for elec-trothermal production of phosphoric ncid by n French fertilizer concern. Heretofore the situation has usual y been reversed. Many of the Impor-tant developments In chemistry have been achieved abroad and American companies, to keep abreast f the In dustry's progress, have had to pur-chase the right to utilize these dis-coveries In the Cnited States. The phosphoric acid process was worked out by engineers and scien lists of the Federal Phosphoric com pan)' of - lliruiUighum, and thus fur has been employed only In Its plant at Annlston, Ala. The French rights were purchased recently by the e des Phosphates Tunlsiens of Paris, which at the same time ar-ranged to hnve Its engineers aw! chemists Instructed In the operation of the apparatus hy American ex-perts. In addition to phosphoric acid, which will be converted chiefly Into ammonium phosphate, a concentrated fertilizer, the American equipment and methods will enable the French company to market pure phosphoric acid and several pure salts.
