Why Father, 82, Sent Son, 45, To Bed At 10 O'Clock
A FATHER, aged 82, toki a
London newspaper recently why he insisted on his son- age 45-going to belai 10 -o'clock at night.
In Wigan Police Court it was stated that the son. William Balfoue, of Binge. Wigan, punched his father in the face and knocked him off a chalt.
He was hoed £2, and agreed to leave home.
"Father wants me to be in bed at 10 o'clock every night.";he pro- trsted.

Shoreham, Sept. I.
BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT AFTER years of research in the laboratories of the Marconi Company at Chelmsford, an entirely new technique has been perfected for doctors, surgeons and dentists which will revolutionise their calling- by radio. Now two of the largest radio Furgeon's "knife" and connected to manufacturers in the country
the set. have combined to form a com- pany, called Marconi-Ekco.; Ltd., under the chairmanship of Lord In verforth, to develop this remarkable new radio science commercially.
EVEN GREATER
But although many hospitnis are buying the new apparatus, they are not yet making full use of it.
General practitioners and but a few specialists have yet to investigate the new technique, so startlingly different are the prin elples from all they have been taught and trained to follow.
It may well be that this wonderful new science of radio healing will nol | come into its own until a new gen- eration of "radlo-trained" doctori, surgeons, and dentists appears.
But meanwhile, at Chelmsford, re- search still goes on," and Marconi seientists are on the verge of even greater dizenveries about the powers possessed by wireless wavėn of daw wavelength, discoveries that ure fantastic in their possibilities,

DEATH RAY A MYTH
I have discussed the possibilities of a "death ray" being discovered with many famous geientists, nad all are satisfied that as far as hinau being are concerned, the thing is anpossible.
The heating effect of the strong- est short-wave radiation is felt only within a matter of feet from the transmitter.
Marconi himself once revealed to me that he had killed mice and small birds twelve feet away, by using powerful micro-wives. Aut even this did not persuade him that "death ray" of any practical value was possible.
But the Marconi research workers at Chelmsford believe that they are on the track of death-rays for microbes.
There is nothing intrinsically mys- terious about the idea; it is just a question of careful," painstaking in vestigation into the properties micru-waves.

passengers. Remarkably rapid progress is being madr
at Friedrichshafen with the construction of LZ130, the sister ship of the Hindenburg. Whereas it took 44 years to build the Hindenburg. it is hoped that LZ 130 will be ready by the autumn of next year, only eighteen months after work began.
The building of the new airship is being supervised by Dr. Eekener, who is still in the bad books of the Propaganda 'Ministry, German newa- 'papers have been Informed that they' may print his name occasionally, but that their references to him must be kept as short as possible.
