DOCTOR ATTACKS WIRELESS.

"Brain Workers Must Not Make It a Hobby."

Dr. D. Lechmere Anderson writes in the Dally Express:

My recent article on wireless and health has excited more than pase- ing interest and served to prove that wireless, especially for those of middle and more mature age, was one of the most frequently chosen and most liked of the hobbies.

For the man of business whos0 working hours give full employment one of the most un- to the brain, profitable hobbies is to yield to the fascination of the radio.

For those engaged in sedentary occupations it is a snare and a de- lusion, enticing them to cultivate habits of indolence which are bound to produce an adverse effect upon health.

The wireless undoubtedly tends to lead to lack of exercise. Many valuable minutes or even hours that might be far more profitable spent so far as health is concerned are passed in the depths of a comfort- able armchair.

Muscles and Lungs, Instruction, more or less learned articles on this and that subject, is certainly thrown in from time to time to prevent the palate palling on lighter fare, but this said, little or no mental effort is required, or indeed, expected from listeners-in.

The man of business who has inade a hobby of calling upon his wireless set to play for his amuse- ment at every odd hour will strong- ly maintain that his dalis employ- ment has given his brain more than it can be justly called upon to do, and that he finds himself all the Marion Karris, the Radio star, better, more soothed and refreshed, Elissa Landi a real find in the who made one Talkie-"Devil May when he has switched on his set Talkies-when I saw her in London Care" and was a flop, is now in than by my other method. on the stage a few years back I London in "Ever Green" and also Mentally, there is much in what I saw a truly great actress then. at the sapper hour at Ciro's Club. he says.
