The manner in which a narrow or ¢hallow channel might be equipped with radio apparatus, so. as to make it possible for a pilot to take his ship through it safetly under the most unfacorable visibility conditions was described by Robert H, Marriott, con- sulting engineer to the Federal Radio Commission, Mr. Marriott said the device had already been tested by the Navy Department and approved. Cable Laid In Channel The transmitter used in the process, Mr. Marriott said, consists of a single conductor cable laid in the bottom of the channel, through which an altern- ating current ig conducted to its outer edge, which is grounded. The re- ceiver includes two coils of wire hung on the port and starboard sides of the ship, parallel to its sides and con- nected to two headphones or other in: dicators.

P. Foltz, research engineers of {the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- facturing Company. They expresged the opinion that (production of a quiet vacuum sweep- er i8 a problem of no little difficulty, due to the high rate of speed at which the motors usually operate and because of other mechanical consid- erations. It is expected, however, they sald, that close study of the problem of noise reduction In electrical appara: tus will gradually result in the elimin- ation of many of the noises now con- sidered unavoidable. Wayne J. Morrill, engineer of the General Electric Company, of Fort Wayne, Ind., said that a quiet, electri- cally operated motor had been devel oped which would be suitable for household refrigerators and oil-burn: ing heating systems, i vines "Mother, when the light goes out, where does it go?"

' Value \ ; S Agriculture Department Differences in the lacti¢-acid bac- teria present and in methods of pre- paration result in fermented or soured milks of different flavor and varying therapeutic usefulness. All the fa-| millar fermented milks are high in, food value, wholesome and to many people very palatable and refreshing. Metchnikoff and his associates fo- | cussed attention on the fact that many intestinal disorders could be corrected by the use of milk soured by the in- troduction of certain bacilli, but later investigators have concluded that other bacteria, especially Lactabacil- lus acidophilus, give more satisfactory results than those used by Metchini- koff, because L. acidophilus is a nor- mal {nhabitant of the intestinal tract. It can be successfully implanted to combat undesirable organisms, where ! as L. bulgaricus, formerly depended on, was much more difficult to intro- duce and less reliable in its effects. The United States Department of Agriculture explains the difference between the: various fermented milks. ' Acidophilus milk is palatable, with | an agreeably mild acid flavor, and is easily digested. While it {8 possible to prepare this milk, as well as other in the home, the Small quantities are usually Buttermilk, properly speaking, A large part | has all Fermented milks have been, exten- sively used for many centuries by the people of southern Russia, Turkey, the Balkan countries and their neighbors. Kefir is made from the milk of sheep, goats or cows, combined with a dried prepartion of grains whieh produce considerable amounts of alcohol and gas in the milk, giving It a cheracter- istic effervescence. Kumiss, a favor te drink in the plains of Russia, 18 made there from mare's milk, When cow's milk is substituted in making it in this country the product 1s more correctly kefir. Yogurt, which is used under various names by the people on the eastern borders of the Mediterraneam--the Turks, Balkans, Armenians, Egyptians --an dalso by East Indians, is quite different from kefir and kumiss, It is a very acid, quickly curdled milk, lacking alcohol; 'The essentia. or ganism which cours it is known to science as Lactobacillus bulgaricus. The choice of one or another of these fermented milks as a therapeu- tic agent depends on the results de- gired by the physician who prescribes it. In general it may be said that fit is unwise to change the habitual diet to include fermented milk in large the port and vice-versa, until the ship quantities without consulting a doctor, as he may consider It desirable to modify the entire diet and to specify a particular milk.

The British mo- JA torist sailed from England January ¥ 18th. ; 5 With Major Campbell are his wife y and two children, a dozen mechanics Aw and the Royal Automobile Club offi- clals who will time his attemtps. His luggage consists of his racing automo bile, the Blue Bird, and his Moth air- plane. Chassis Is Modified The Blue Bird, which weighs two and one-half tons, has had certain modifications as to chassis since its appearance on the Florida track. "It is more efficient than ever," Major Campbell says. "It now embodies all { know about wind-cheating and econ- omy o power." The car is fitted with a 1,000 horse- power aero engine. It has only two gears. The British motorist expects to If he does he says he will retire. the Blue Bird, which4s constructed of a special light metal. Two gears give a minimum racing speed of sixty miles an hour, The car is started by push- ing. It has a flexible steering wheel, unburstable oil and petrol tanks and a detachable fin for direction and stability.

Flandin Seeks Limitation of Aircraft Use Former Minister Says Now ls Most Appropriate Time to Establish Control Parls--The aircraft is the only arm of the service on which no restriction to expansion or use is placed, and the time to establish some limitation is now, declared Etienne Flandin, Dep- uty and former Cabinet Ministed, and also president of the Aero Club of France, speaking at a luncheon © the American Club of Paris. He contrast: od the dangerous potentialities of une controlled aviation with its possibill tles for increasing international colla- boration. Kor this reason he called for--world--agreement--on--limiting the employment of aircraft in time fo war, M. Flandin foresaw aviation ex penditure eventually far exceeding, for example, the sums devoted to-day to navies, if it grew unchecked as & fighting arm, He strongly favored naval disarmament in the hope that it- would include agreement on curb- ing aerial and chemical warfare. Germany has led the world until recently in commercial aviation, he pointed out, and this was due to the fact that the Treaty of Versailles prohibited that country from building up a fighting air fleet. It was the commercial side of aviation which must be encouraged, and not the other. When the day comes o! regu lar 40-hour service between America and Europe, relations will be found to be developing much more rapidly. The United States now cakes first place as a commercial aviation pow er, anid is bound to take the lead Ia developing aviation to-day. D.
