Sherrill (Radio Engineer) Ever since radio broadcasting be- came established, there has been a question -of who was to stand the- enormbus expense involved. For a tong while no one was sure of the an- swer and broadcasting appeared to be just a fad and economically *unsound. The last year or so has shown pretty conclusively, however, that the adver- tising• properties of a good station are much in demand, and that they -will bring in more than enough revenue to meet the operating expenses. The larger stations, especially those in New York City, have exceedingly high. advertisng rates, Station WE - AF, which leads all others for adver- tising accounts and revenue, is said to charge from ,$400 to $600 ` per hour.

Duplex :communication, in this 'in-' stance, was practicable by means of a ten-kilowat electron tube transmitter which emits a pure wave, With this was used an invention, whereby as many as eight receiving outfits—re- sponding to eight different frequen cies—operate from opeantenna.

However, much can be done to pre- vent or modify many of the dangers attending birth -giving, if proper care, and precaution are employed. Many an unfortunate mother who died bringing her baby into the world would be living, today, had she de inandedand -received the care that is due her during; the months of her e- pectancy, In the home the mother should re= ceive every care, every comfort, ev- ery consideration within the gift of those who surround her because she is casting her life in the balance and facing the very refinement of agony in the ordeal she is facing.

Forster Bearing children is, ander tiormal conditions, a physiological process, just as much as are digestion and re - Often, however, e Often,,-however, through_ lack- of information on the subject, women ne- glect to do those things that 'will con- tribute to their well-being both dur- ing and, after pregnancy: Even thou- gh child-bearing is a natural .process,. it is fraught with hidden dangers, complications and sequels—of which the expectant mother knows nothing and against which she accordingly cannot protect Herself. " Hence, every expectant mother should consult a competent physician as soon as she is aware of her condi- tion.. • It ds the doctor's business to make a thorough examination, having in mind he prevention ,or correction of ally condition that might endanger the mother's life and health, h1a y women are too prone to let month' after month go by until the end of pregnancy and then call in a doctor to attend them during their confinement. In. doing this they are often taking their life in their hands. ,It is these women whose lives are needlessly sacrificed as a result of complications during labor. Among these may be mentioned convulsions due to kidney disease, tearing of the placenta, narrow pelvis, and many other hidden conditions that only a competent physician can recognize and forestall. The best place for obstetrical cases is a hospital. Here the physician has every facility with, which to work, as- eptic surroundings, and competent as- sistance, all of which are lacking in the average 'home. Women are com- ing more and more to realize the ad- vantage of going to a hospital • for this purpose, with the result that the mortality rate cluriing childbirth "<t}as been greatly reduced. But whether the prospective moth- er is to. be confined in the home or hospital, whether 'this is to be her fir- st or her fifth child, she should put herself in the hands of an able phy- sician'as `soon as she becomes pregn- ant, and follow his instructions to the letter.'

A stove should not be placed in a bedroom, but if there is some un- escapable reason for having it there, a vessel containing water should be a part of the equipment so that the ne- cessary relative humidity may be maintained. 5 and 6 The usual stove will, when consuming an average amount of fuel use more oxygen than one sleeping persoli. Of course this will depend upon the size of the stove and the na- ture of the fire. 7 Each adult requires 2000 to 3000 cu. ft. of fresh air per hour. This Youngster Is Wiser Than Many Grownups G. J.
