MAN IS A WALKING ANTENNA
Man is a walking receiving' antenna,
most responsive to a radio wave ol
five meters, and in some respects is
equivalent to a piece of wire slightly
longer than eight feet, the College of
Electronic Medicine of San Francisco
announces in a report to the American
Electronic Research Association ol
Chicago. This report follows lengthy
experiments to determine the ther
apeutic value of radjo waves. F. M.
Henry of the college's research de
partment, who is conducting the ex
periments, also called attention to the
fact that electrical storms have an
invigorating effect on persons in the
vicinity of such electro-magnetic dis
turbances. "Thaf short radio waves
are beneficial in the treatment of cer
tain diseases is now generally con
ceded," Mr. Henry said in his report.
"When the body is connected or close
to a radio apparatus generating a
wave length of five meters, oscilla
tory currents flow through the body
and nervous system. The greatest
flow of current will occur in the
central portion of the body in the
region of the solar plexis. The great
est potential or voltage will be de
veloped at the upper end of the
nervous system the brain which is
generally conceded to be normally the
highest potential part of the nervous
system." Discussing the invigorat
ing effect of electrical storms, Mr.
Henry stated: "It is quite possible
that this is due to the fact that
lightning discharges cause electronic
oscillations to occur in the body at
the rate of 60,000,000 times per sec
ond, the equivalent of five meters,
through a phenomena that is electri
cally known as the impulse excita
tion of oscillatory circuits." Experi
ments have shown that short radio
waves are more beneficial than long
waves in the treatment of disease,
Mr. Henry declared, pointing out mat
short waves actually penetrate the
living cells of the body while the
longer waves act only on the extra
cellular fluids.
The eleventh anniversary of the
signing of the armistice that brought
to an end the World War, led by
President Hoover, was observed in
every American city and hamlet Mon
day. At 11 o'clock for two minutes
the nation's capitol stilled its activ
ities as a tribute to the dead of the
war. Twelve thousand legion posts
.throughout the land listened to the
President's radio Armistice Day mes
sage. Impressive programs memorial
izing the soldier dead were every
where linked with a spirit of rejoic
ing in celebration of the day that
brings nations closer together as time
rolls on.
The Oregon State Came Commis
sion says game wardens were more
observant or law violators more bold
is a mooted question but none the
less the records of the state game
commission disclose that during the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1929
there were 69 more arrests than dur
ing the prior year. As result of the
increased number of arrests the game
protection fund was increased ap
proximately $4,000 over last year;
this through fines levied by justices
of the peace in various counties.
o
Style is being recognized in the
matter of suicide. In Japan, for in
stance, it is proper to "fall upon the
sword." The pistol route seems to
be the favorite method in America,
but a new means of self destruction
here fa noted in the possibilities which
are offered by the air plane. The
plane was entirely overlooked in this
respect, until the other day, when a
Crestwood, New York, girl tapped a.
pilot on the shoulder and directed him
to go higher. He did. At 2000 feet,
the girl jumped.
...... 0 ' '
Bend and Prineville blossom out
with the first report of Oregon win
ter weather. In the upper Deschutes
basin the mercury registered 15 de
grees above zero Sunday night, and
snow was reported in the Prineville
district. A continuation of dry
weather leaves range conditions bad,
and in the farming districts through
out the northwest it is feared a
freeze will kill recently sown grain.
With all these fleets of passenger
stages and freight trucks we arc
struck by the statement that "every
inhabitant of the United States now
requires 35 per cent more frieght
service from the railroads than was
required in 1911." Either prosperity
and Industrial progress are clipping
along so fast that we can not keep
up with them, or the authority above
has raised his sights.
Thirty-six children admitted to a
Vienna baby farm hav disappeared.
With the arrest of the woman manag
er, comes the. announcement from po
lice that they are powerless in their
investigation because no registration
certificates are available. It would
seem that the only checking system
Vienna is familiar with is done
through the banks.
The tractor has pushed the horse
and mule from the farm, and now the
prospector has "chucked" his faith
ful burro and hunts for gold in an
air plane.
The Eskimo is not such a bad hom
bre after all. Those Canadian pros
pectors would undoubtedly have per
ished up in the Arctic circle but for
the Eskimo caches of herring and
whitefish dog feed.

SCHOOL TOPICS
( (By E. E. Coad, Supt )
It would seem that a great many
people have an idea that the jsrime
purpose and end of publiceducation
is to prepare the pupil for college. It
is apparent that those who formu
late the curriculum for our high
schools still are laboring under that
delusion.
When but a small per cent of those
who go to high school ever go on to
college, and a still smaller number of
those who go to college are fitted for
such training and make use of it, it
would seem that it is high time for
educational authorities to grasp a
new concept of the reason for public
education and to formulate a new
type of curriculum suited to the
needs of future citizenship. It is a
shame to put all through the same
mill in order to pick and select the
few who are fitted for collegiate
honors. .
But the man who first wrote, "All
men are created free and equal."
took in a lot of territory. There are
still a lot of people who yet believe
that all are created mental equals.
The idea that an education can mere
ly train the quota of intelligence you
were granted by your ancestry has
not yet reached very far. Each in
dividual is born with an aptitude or
capacity for so much and no move.
There is no education possible that
can give an individual more intelli
gence. The intelligence with which
he is gifted can be trained. But no
two individuals are alike in intelli
gence. A lot of gifted home-makers, in
potential ability and temperament, are
being spoiled, at least temporarily,
for their vocation by the effort to
prepare them for collegiate honors
for which they have neither the in
terest nor the inclination. A lot of
potential business men and those fit
ted by nature and inclination for
active trade occupations are being
spoiled for their natural life's work
by the effort to prepare them for col
legiate honors which they care no
thing about and are not fitted to earn
in the first place.
If boys and girls can be trained to
go on and learn without the aid of
a teacher, if they can be trained to
become good citizens in a reasonable
interpretation of the term, if they can
be happy and contented in their work,
if they can add to the peace and joy
of those about them, they have got
ten the best that the public school
has in store for them..
School District Number 2
Now we are told that crime is a
disease, and must be treated as such.
Granting that it is, the best remedy
we know of is a more stringent crim
inal code, nationally standardized with
teeth in it and no technical frills 01
loojjholes. Add to this less jail room
and more hemp.
