And the result is a new form of meoical appliance which aids the work of the cancer specialist and which may save many lives.

This new appliance is called the "radio knife." And doctors everywhere are to be made familiar with it through still another device of modern science the talking movie. Much Quicker and Safer. The radio knife is an instrument by which highly intricate operations can be performed much more quickly, simply and safely. In principle it is relatively simple; an instrument the size of a lead pencil, with a short length of wire projecting from one end, is connected with a radio frequency vac The revolutionary new Quinn tube and its inventor, Mrs. C.

E. Quinn, whose radio wizardry is expected to save radio fans millions of dollars. The filament, or heating element, of the ordinary tube is sealed in the vacuum chamber, and when it burns out the tube must be discarded. But the unique construction of the Quinn tube provides for the sealing of all the imperishable elements of the tube in the vacuum of the tube itself, leaving the heating element on the outside, where it may be quickly and easily removed. The advantage is that when the heating element burns out the tube itself is left intact and the heating element is removed and another one cheaply replaced.

Mrs. Quinn, formerly of Chicago, gained prominence as an executive with the Sunbeam Incandescent Lamp Works, the National Electric Lamp Co. and the General Electric Co.

When the second "Publix Radio-vue" performance on the stage of the Brooklyn Paramount Theater is broadcast from WJAS at 11:30 Tuesday, Bradford Browne's Nit Wits, Harry Richman, Paul Small, tenor; Bob West, organist; Elsie Thompson, the "singing organist," and Sig-mund Boguslausky and his Paramount Orchestra will be the featured artists to be heard and seen.

Harvey, president of Queens, one of the boroughs of New York City, discussed the project of WABC to erect a plant at or near the Flaunt in that borough. He aid: "It is believed that this powerful equipment would blanket the dial of thousands of radio receiving sets in Brooklyn and Queens, and I oppose It. If New Jersey does not want it, certainly Queens does not.

I will take the matter up with my building department immediately. Trotect Listeners. "We are glad to have the present home of WABC in Queens. Its present power output is 5,000 watts and that is sufficient to overspread the Long Island and Greater New York area with a very strong signal. "Some set owners tell me that even at the present power rating the waves are so strong that they overspread more space on the dial than one station should occupy.

There are too many radio set owners in the thickly populated sections of Queens and Brooklyn to have a station in their midst to spray the aerials with powerful electric waves. The radio listeners must be protected and afforded good reception. In turn that helps the radio industry." President Harvey's stand follows a protest registered by the radio dealers in Brooklyn and Queens. Gets Complaints. The proposal of the Columbia Broadcasting System to install the new high-powered transmitter of WABC on Long Island, close to its present site, is being opposed by civic and radio trade groups in the surrounding territory, it was declared at the Federal Radio Commission.

The new complaints, it was declared, are on the ground that a high powered transmitter will prevent reception of other stations by listeners residing in the area close to the station. Radio dealers contend that this will react unfavorably Xor sales of sets. Columbia recently was given a construction permit to install a 50.000-watt station for WABC, which now uses 5.000 watts. After protracted hearings before the commission, at which the New Jersey Interests combated the construction permit, the system announced its plan to withdraw that construction permit, and subsequently filed the application. The plan, as explained to the commission, is to install the new transmitters in "steps" of 5,000 watts each, rather than the outfit.

He is the younger brother of the actress, Jobyna How-land, who urged him to become an actor. The Howlands were born in Denver and it was quite natural that Olin should lean towards the stage after the success his sisters enjoyed.

He began in a small way in the chorus of a musical comedy which was tried out in six different cities, but never reached the Gay White Way. Next he secured a small part in David Belasco's 'The Warrens of Virginia." Various small roles followed, and then about that time the dancing craze was at its height and Olin Howland succeeded Vernon Castle in a New York production. For a time also he taught dancing and was so successful that he traveled all over Europe doing exhibition dancing.
