WNU aanrlo New Radio Gets Two Signals on Same Frequency Gives Aviators Weather and Direction at Once PITTSBURGH. New radio aid for commercial aviation is under test here which consists of the transmission of both voice and radio range signals on the same frequency. The two sets of signals are received simultaneously In an airplane directional di-rectional algnali operating a needle pointer on the Instrument panel and the voice signals being received In headphones. Th new development solves the problem, existing for soma time, that directional beacon signals and the weather reports went out on the same radio frequency, and thus one bad to bt Interrupted for the other. Naedi Required Interruptions. The limited number of frequency channels available and the need for the simplest possible receiving equipment required such Interrupted Interrupt-ed service In the past With both weather and range directions on the same frequency, the pilot did not Deed to change dial settings on bis receiver. The old system, while simple, had Its handicaps. If a pilot was flying blind and attempting to locate an airport. It was disconcerting to have the directional signals Interrupted by a weather broadcast which told him It was raining or foggy In his vicinity. He knew that anyway, otherwise he would not be flying blind. Wsathtr Signals Delayed Landing. In a minor aspect the weather signals delayed his landing and In a major case might delay him at a time when the celling at the airport air-port was lowering to zero-zero conditions. con-ditions. Before the new development the bureau of air commerce sometimes postponed weather Information for a short while and kept the directional direc-tional signals on the air continuously continu-ously when requested by pilots. This system also had Its handicaps, handi-caps, for weather reports might be neprlpd hy other pilots, and planes with receivers but no transmitting equipment might need continuous directional signals and not be able to request them. ' The new development of receiving receiv-ing two signals on the same frequency fre-quency solves all these problems. More Than 1,000,000 Persons in America Are Exposed to Silicosis WASHINGTON. More than one million Americans are exposed to silica dust, the condition con-dition which may cause silicosis, sili-cosis, sometimes called "miners' phthisis" or "miners' consumption," according to estimates of the United Unit-ed States public health service here. Silicosis may affect not only workers engaged In rock cutting, as In the cases reported from Gauley Bridge, V. Va., which are attracting attract-ing congressional notice, but also those In the pottery, foundry, sand-blasting, sand-blasting, abrasive, granite, tool and ax grinding, glass, slate, silica grinding and mining Industries. Not all those exposed to the dust get the disease, however. Trobubly one fourth of any large group exposed ex-posed to the dust at any one time have silicosis, and most of those have It In the early stage. Very few people die of silicosis. Silicosis patients usually die of some Infection, particularly tuberculosis, tuber-culosis, to which they are especially especial-ly susceptible. Men having silicosis In the first stage of the disease have slight or no disability and may never have any disability, If placed In suitable surroundings. This dMs not mean that ttiey must necessarily change their occupation. The surroundings In which they work can be made "suitable" by eliminating the silica dust from the air In which they work, or by" reducing It to a safe limit. .Men sulTerlng from the dig ease In Its second stage can Improve materially, and even those suffering with the third stage of the disease can Improve somewhat In "suitable" surroundings. The federal health service knows of no Industry nt the present time where the conditions causing silicosis cannot be con-'t con-'t rolled. hi silicosis the lungs. Instead of being spongy tissues with plenty of space fur Ibe air t" circulate, become be-come mottled K with patches of fibrous tissue which Is dense and prewnts ibe passage of n(r. As the disease progresses the patient has less and less normal lung tissue for breathing. Sbortrie'"s'"orTrenth on exertion and sometimes a cough are the first symptom of silicosis. New Methods in War Against 'Polio' Paralysis Propose Sodium Alum or Tannic Acid Nasal Spray NEW YORK. A chemical method of protecting against infantile paralysis, recommended recommend-ed for trial in the next epidemic of this dread disease, was reported re-ported by Drs. A. B. Sabin, P. K. Olitsky and H. R. Cox of the Rockefeller Institute for Med! cal Research. The method consists In dropping or spraying Into the nose solutions of either sodium alum or tannic acid In suitable strength. The chemicals chem-icals seem to act as a shield against the disease, by keeping the causative causa-tive virus from entering the body and reaching the nerve cells In brain and spinal cord. "Experimentally there Is now sufficient suf-ficient basis for a trial In mnn of these chemicals In the prevention of poliomyelitis during epidemics," the Investigators stated. Where Treatment Originated. Tannic acid was first suggested ss a suitable chemical for this purpose by Doctors Olitsky and Cox. . Sodium Sodi-um was advocated as a result of studies by Drs. Charles Armstrong and W. T. Harrison. Most of the studies were made with monkeys. However, a number of human volunteers were given nasal treatment with 4 per cent sodium so-dium alum solution. They suffered no untoward symptoms other than slight local Irritation and nasal discharge dis-charge for a few hours. Indicating that the treatment Is safe. Effective on Monkeys. It seems very effective In protecting protect-ing monkeys against the disease. "Typical poliomyelitis (Infantile paralysis) pa-ralysis) was Induced In 28 of 84 untreated monkeys by the Instillation Instilla-tion on two occasions, 48 hours apart, of 1 cc. of a 10 per cent suspension sus-pension of pollomyelitlc cords Into each nostril," it was reported. "The majority of monkeys treated with either sodium alum or tannic acid for a number of days prior to the Instillation of virus were distinctly resistant to poliomyelitis. Only two of 20 monkeys treated In that manner man-ner with 4 per cent sodium alum developed the disease, and these were In a group which apparently received more than the average amount of virus. Most of the monkeys monk-eys treated with 8 per cent alum also proved resistant, while 0.5 per cent and 2 per cent hud no effect. Four per cent tanulc acid, although nsed In a smaller aeries, was also effective, while 0.4 per cent and 0.8 per cent were not. "Treatment with alum for at least a few days prior to Infection was necessary to Induce resistance. The resistance couia be maintained over a period of several weeks by one daily Instillation of the chemical; omitting the treatment for 48 hours diminished the number-of monkeys that were resistant" Device Makes Line Noises Commit Suicide in Radio Receiver WESTHARTFORD.CONN. Making the troublesome popping pop-ping and cracking line noises on a radio receiver commit sui cide Is the newest method of attack on eliminating the sounds that appear ap-pear when lights In the home are switched on or off, or the vacuum cleaner put Into operation. James J. Lamb, technical editor of the American Radio Relay I-eague's magazine QST here, describes de-scribes how noise suicide works. Many of the popping and cracking sounds that come out of the loudspeaker loud-speaker are due to very quick acting act-ing disturbances In the radio receiver re-ceiver circuit which would be fairly harmless except that the loudspeaker loudspeak-er picks them up, starts vibrating and keeps It up for an appreciable length of time because of Its Inertia. Mr. Lamb's method,, which Is described de-scribed In full detail for his technical tech-nical audience. Is based essentially on the following Une-of reasoning, lie says: "Why not amplify the noise peaks j extending above the desired signal amplitude at radio frequency, rectify rec-tify them, and use the rectified voltage volt-age to control the gain of a subse quent rndlo-frequcncy stage, automatically auto-matically and Instantaneously?" Which says essentially that the quick acting noises will be turned Into a form of current that can he used to Increase the aniplilicatlon of the receiving set and thus raise the sought for program sl-nals to a loudness that will mask the popping. In a way the method Is a type of automatic volume control that acts before the loud speaker can become awure of the oncoming noise. Don't Say 1936 but Forty-Four Squared STATE COLLEGE, PA.
