"AMAZED AT LENGTHS TO WHICH THEY WILL GO"

.

THE amount of illness and suffering caused by "untutor-

ed and careless attempts by women of all classes to avoid unwanted children", was referred to by counsel in a case at the Old Bailey recently.

Dr. Laura Winifred, Sanders-Bliss' (41), of Harley Street. and of Little Bookham, Surrey, gave evidence on her own behalf in reply to the charge, which she denies, of conspiracy to perform certain operations on women.

Dr. Hiss burst into tears as she was taking the oath, but she ex- pished that she was a little over- wrought. She soon recovered.

Radio Signals From

Milky Way

Pasadena, Cal., July 21.

SCIENTISTS have launched an attempt

to decipher weird radio signals coming to the earth from the milky way.

At a base on the bleak Mojave desert, Cali- fornia Institute of Technology researchers have set up a powerful receiver with a whirl of revolv ing antennas to pick up the impulses, which hiss in the loud-speaker all night long.

They seem to come from the heart of the great star swarm some 120,000,000,000,000,- 000,000,000, (120 sextillion miles out in space. Decoded, they may tell secrets of the stars that are now hidden from the largest telescopes,

Dr. G. W. Potapenko and a young researcher, Donald N. Folland, 25 year old son of a Utah Supreme court justice,- designed the apparatus. They tried it on the camps but the approach of the latest model of a certain low-priced auto- mobile set out impulses that drowned out the milky way broadcast. They moved to a nearby farm and finally fled to the desert 20 miles, from the nearest town,

A night long they train the directional norials of the radio upon the source of the signals. Dr. Karl Junsky of the Bell Telephone laboratories, discoverer of the phenomenon, found that they always come from the spot where the stars are bunched thickest in the milky way.

Various deposits have been worked, not only by natives, but by an Italian company which explored some 40,000 square miles between Lake Tana and Ashangi, in the Tigre district, and also worked quartz veins south-west of Adown, as well as by a French syndicate in Wallega and by an Eng Hish concern at 31ount Senaar, to the north-west of the valley of the Blue Nile..
