HONGKONG'S AMATEUR STAR-GAZERS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE METEORS

PHENOMENA START ON APRIL 12.

Scores of amateur astronomers in the Far East will unito in observing meteors during clear nights from April 12 until the end of August.. The region includes Japan, China and the Philippines.

Whenever comets which accompany many shooting stars! approach the earth, a large number of amateur astronomers have been mobilized in the past to aid professional astronomers, both at home and abroad. Seldom has such a large number of amateurs cooperated as in the present plan.

Dr. Issel Yamamoto of the Hanayama observatory of the Kyoto Imperial University, who will act as adviser for amateur astronomers, said:

"The opinions of the world's authorities are divided as to the source of shooting stars. It will be a significant discovery if | amateurs aro able to trace meteors. We intend to extend the plan gradually to other regions if the present plan proves success- ful."

Remove FILM this way

The fate of your teeth may rest on what you do to remove film! Don't risk ineffective meth- ods when film may lead to such serious con- sequences. And don't trust precious tooth enamel to any but a special film-removing dentifrice.

21 years ago a group of men discovered a scientific fact-that film should be removed if teeth are to be kept clean and sound, if gums are to remain healthy. A special for mula was devised. Since then it has been constantly improved with one thought in· mind: to remove film safely.

Today Pepsodent is known as the "special film-removing tooth paste." It is unexcelled in the way it removes the film that glues decay

THE APPROACH OF TELEVISION

HOW LONDON WILL

"LOOK"

Work at the Alexandra Palace is proceeding rapidly, and the next step is the erection of the Baird and Marconi-E.M.1. trans- mitters. These are being built at the works of the two com- panies concerned, and after ini tial tests will be handed over to the B.B.C., whose property they become.

The tall lattice mast, which has replaced the pyramid-shaped steeple on top of one of the towers, is now nearly complete, and will carry two aerial arrays. The top one will be used for the broadcast- ing of vision and the lower one for 'sound.

Statements have recently been made that the first test signals will be radiated in March, but this is probably optimistic. In any case the apparatus will have to undergo at least two months of testa before the public servico Istarts, and it seems likely that wo shall not have tho new servico until the late summer,

There will prob- ably be at least thirty of these viewing rooms in different párts of London by the end of the year.

The first programme will be: limited to three hours a day, and will be divided into three one-hour periods, which will be from 3.0 ta 4.0 p.m., from 6.15 to 7.15 p.m.,' and from 9.30 to 10.30 p.m. Both direct vision and Intermediato film Items are to be used in the pro- gramme, and there is every likeli- hood that quite a considerable amount of timo will be given to topical Items.
