It is said that 65,000,000 people, half the population of the United States, 'listen in" on the radio more or less habitually, = The psy- chologists, who study the human mind and its activities, have begun to investigate the field of radio. The Harvard psychological laboratory is one of the pioneers in this survey. The laboratory set out, in its ex- periments, to bring together an "av- erage group" of radio listeners and observe their reactions to messages transmitted over the:air. For one o these experiments eighty people were engaged to go to the laboratory an hour a day for seven-days. They were equally 'divided as to sex and represented various age, occupation- al and 'educational levels. They sat in a hall and listened to the broadcasting of material from another part of the building. Ten "trained speakers from the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, five men and five women, talked over the radio, reading material which rang- ed all the way from advertising mat- ter, political speeches and news re- ports, to poetry and philosophy. Every hearer -had a'little book con- taining several printed questions, and at the end of each experiment he wrote his answer. » * * In the book were such questions as these: "Do you like female an- nouncers?"' "Was the voice persua- sive?" "How well do you think you know the personality of the speaker from his (or her) voice?" 'How attractive or pleasing was the voice?" "Do female voices carry over the radio as well as male voices?" The replies revealed many amus- ing and interesting facts. One was that ninety-five 'per cent, "of the listeners preferred men broadcasters. more sensitive to affection in the voices of members of their own sex than of the other sex. A third was that women, much more - than men, consider themselves adept in judging personality on the basis of the spoken voice. : Although, as has been said, nine: ty-five per cent, of the listeners in this series of teste preferred men announcers rather than women, in more than half of the experiments women's voices were rated as more attractive than men's. That choice was based on other considerations, namely, women an- nouncers speak in a more agected manner than the men, the male voice is pitched lower, is more per- suasive and carries better over the air, * * % : The belief that a. speaker's voice discloses his personality is more or less widespread, and the Harvard investigators decided to look into that phase of the question. So, the group of people described above was asked to listen to speakers and then identify their height, age, com- pexion, handwriting, vocation, po- litical allegiance and degree of ex- troversion or introversion. It was Growing Deaf With Head Noises ? Try This !

Anyone who is threat~ ened with eatarrhal deafness or who n should give this pres! cription a trial, Another was that people are much. found that, although the auditors agreed to some extent in their esti- mates of personality, they were not go accurate as they imagined them- selves to be. For example, in one experiment the subjects were told they would hear a professor of English, a psy- chologist and a journalist, and were asked to determine which voice be- longed to which profession. It happened that the psychologist was a native of South Africa and had an English accent; as a result he was consistently put down as the professor of English. The "poetic voice" of another speaker led a large number of listeners to rate him as a Socialist. Dominion Weather Turning Milder In Past 50 Years Gradual Rise in Average Ten perature Shown in Most Sections, F. Napier Denis- on Says. Victoria.--Although the Pacific coast is experiencing some -of the coldest weather it has had for some time, F. Napier. Denison, director of the Dominion Metreorological obser- vatory here, said last week the cli- mate of British Columbia and the whole Dominion has been gradually turning milder for the past 50 years or more, Winnipeg can boast of the great est change in average temperature, sald Mr, Denison, with an improve. nient of six degrees, 1883 being the coldest year on record during the last 63 years and 1931 the warmest, Records for Toronto and Montreal shofr these cities have experienced a gradual rise of about four degrees. Montral's record cold year was 1870 and 1931 was the warmest, Alberta and the Maritime Prov- fnces are tied in third place, both be- ing about three degrees warmer, 'Records at Calgary show the lowest temperatures there in 1887 and the highest in 1931 while 1876 was the coldest year recorded at Charlotte. town, P.E.I, and 1901 the mildest with 1930 aand 1931 coming next, The Pacific coast shows the smal lest change of all, about one and one-half degrees. Records here show 1880 and 1884 were the coldest years with 1893 and 1916 coming near the low mark, and 1926 being the warm- est. y These figures seem to indicate the warm and cold years come in cycles with the cold years around 1876 to 1890 and the-warm years between 1926 and 1931.

New Kind of Bacteria Is Found In Buliding Stone Chicago,--The discovery of what is described as a "remarkable and uni- que" kind of bacteria in Travertine, the building stone named after the Roman River Tiber, was reported to the society of American Bacteriolo- gists here by Prof. Charles B. Lip- man, of the University of California. This travertine came from Terrace Mountain in the Yellowstone Nation- al Park. It adds one more to a series of recent discoveries indicating that rocks are "living" in one sense ana- logous to plants and animals, The bacteria inhabit their interior, fine structure, taking part in the ex- ceedingly slow. chemical changes which over millions of years consti- tute the "life" of rocks--the period during which they disintegrate and return to dust. } Professor Lipman said the Yellow- stone travertine came from extinct calcareous springs. The stone was laid down by a whole series of the springs. Certainly hundreds of thous- ands, and possibly millions of years, was required to form this travertine. Whether the "rock bacteria were originally imprisoned in the traver- tine while in. its soft formative stage, or whether they entered through minute cracks developing after is not known. Other scientists, however, have found evidence that many of the rocks are invaded by germs as fast as the process of disintegration permits. The travertine germg are thread- like. What they may do to travertine in unknown, There is no evidence that they can cause human or ani- mal diseases, The first guess is that they belong to the innumerable mul- titude of bacteria which are useful i from man's point of view, because they carry on chemical changes. The threadlike bacteria were taken not from the surface of the Yellow- stone travertine, but from the deep within the rock. They appeared when some of the crushed rock was "culti- vated" in a peptone soil extract suit- able for growth of bacteria. To date Professor Lipman said, no other medium for growing bacteria has yielded apy growth from the tra- vertine. is The great power of silver to des« troy germs in water was described by Robert P. Myers and J. C, Mauer, of the research laboratories; National Dairy Products Corporation, of Bal- timore, As little as.10 to 16 parts of silver per million parts'of water de- stroyed about 250.800 germs per cubic centimeter of water, The silver took no more than two and a half hours to kill this many bacteria, It was in the form of silver ions, exceedingly minute particles of the metal; broken up so that each carried a small electrical charge. Experinients in the body, tends to aid in production of pheumonia were reported by W. J. Nungester and L. I. Jouroneis of the department of bacteriology, Northwestern Univers- ity Medical School, They said it appears that much in the respiratory tract offers mechan- ical interference with the normal de- fense agents of the body. Probably, said, this; interference is with the phagocytes, the white blood cells which destroy )neumonia infection, Record Year In Canada's Gold Up $17,891,763 -- 1934 In- crease Is 11th In Row For Dominion Ottawa, -- --The 1934 value of Canada's gold output at $102,242,000 established a new high record In the value of production, in this country for the 11th successive occasion, the Minister of Mines W. A. Gordon sta- ted recently. In 1933 the oulput value was $84. 360,237, This year's output fin fine ounces totalled 2,964,395 a slight in. crease over 1933. * "To the hundreds of thousands of shareholders, the majority of them resident in Canada, the gold indus. try disbursed in 1934 roundly $33, 000,000, In dividends," said Mr, Gor- don. "This compares with the 1933 disbursements of $23,426,000," The development of the Dominion gold resources in 1934 had given greater work to his department in that "more tests were made and ex. periments conducted in our ore dres. sing and metallurgical- laboratories in 1934 than jn any year since the department was established." Approximately 50 new gold mill ing plants entered production during the past year said the minister, and in practically every case tests and experimental work in connection with' mill treatment processes were conducted in thg department's labor- atories, By far the greater percent. age of the new plants were using treatment methods, or slight modifi- sations of such methods as had been devised by the staff of the ore dres- sing. and -metallurgical laboratories, "Anticipating the current interest in gold development, the go'vern- ment in 1931," sated Mr. Gordon, "added a minergraphic section to the laboratories for microscopic and spectroscopic examinations, The timeliness of this addition made to facilitate and to expedite the work of the staff has sincg been amply dem. onstrated.

Paper Using Only 900 Words Helps Aliens Learn English Chicago,--A tabloid weekly news. paper, printed with a vocabulary of only 900 of the most common Eng- lish words is being introduced in fac- tories, prisons, night schools, CCC camps and other' places throughout the United States, where people are learning the English language, It is called' The American World and is sponsored by the Language Research Institute at New York University. The : eight-page - néwspaper has proved {ts worth in this field, having been. used for three years in New York City night schools, according to Miss Margaret Mitchell, a mem- ber of the:institute staff 'who intro. duced' the paper to adult education teachers here recently.

This was lengthened to 600 and then to 900 as the number neces- sary for printing a simple newspaper, The institute learned that this num- ber represents 76 per cent of the words used in an average newspaper and that most adults have a vocabu. lary of about 25,000. A few of the 900 words are still in the doubtful list but as soon as they are finally decided upon, they will be published as a possible means of help.to those teaching the for- eign born, Miss Mitchell sald. eo SAVE $10.00 ON 'FERTILIZERS Buy the Ingwedients~Mix Wour Own Use local material for the filler and save freight, Iull particulars, formulas, etc, 3 The.

Ormond, superintendent of peni. tentiaries, announced on the author- ity ot Minister of Justice Hugh Guth- rie. They are being paid at the rate of five cents a day for each day they work, provided thelr conduct and diligence is satisfactory to the war. | den and provided they are not un: dergoing punishment or deprfvation of any privileges for offences against rules and regulations, The new rule is (esigned to en- courage good conduct and diligence on the part of convicts undergoing sentence and to provide them with a small sum of money with which to maintain themselves on their re- lease until they can secure employ- ment, In addition to the five cents a day for actual work done the convicts are allowed five cents a day for each day of remission they have earned at the time of their release in excess of 72 days, Under the -rules convicts are entitled to six days remission a month for good conduct until they have earned 72 days and thereafter to 10 days a month, A convict with 100 days' remission to his credit ia released 100 days in advance of the normal expiration of his sentence, With the start of payment for labor the free issue of tobacco to convicts is discontinued. But convicts will be permitted to obtain up to one-eighth of a pound of tobacco each weel and the cost will be charged against one half of his remuneration, Thus a convict will be &ble to spend up to two and a half cents a day on to- bacco, When a convict has more than §50 to his credit he may have some or all of the amount of $60 coming to him pald to his dependent next-of. kin, Apart from this and from the purchase of tobacco payments will only be made to convicts on thelr release, Dog Feeding Writes Bruce Ottawa Journal: Sir:--A large percentage of dogs brought' to veterinarians treatment are, unknown to their owners, suffering primarily from nutritional ailments. The domestic dog is restricted greatly in his selection of food. The chance that he will receive a balanced diet when the for chases. of meat or meat scrap from the market is indecd small. Unfor- tunately the commercial dog food in- dustry is of such recent development. that unless "discrimination is employ- ed, unless the dog owmer is willing to confine his purchases of com- mercial food to a few of the well- known and = thoroughly reliable firms, he should seek the advice of his veterinarian as to what to feed his dog. An improper diet is a direct cause of many ailments of dogs, not only of the digestive system but of the bones, the 'eyes, the skin and other organs. Further, it lowers their resistance to disease and to parasites, thus increasing the likeli- hood of illness and lessening the chance of 'recovery. The desirability of a dog for a pet depends very much upon how it is fed. Contrary to popular belief, glass, powered or broken to particles vary- ing in size from very fine to fairly course, do not cause death when in- gested by dogs.
