Radio Round the World

The Rotary Club of Chicago broadrast a meeting from eighty stations and two short-wave stations, at which liotarians representing ten nations gave. first-hand reports on the progress of world-recovery from the depression: Mr. Herbert Schofield, the English scientist; Herr Otto Fischer, the Gerlian banker; Mr. Tsunejiro Miyaoka, a Japanese authority on international law, and Mr. Krederick Ernest James, a member of the Madras Legislative _ Council, among others gave brief sumaries of plans for reconstruction and sconomic surveys of conditions in variéus countries. A Budapest lawyer returned from Asia Minor suffering from-a fever cause ed by the invasion of the Enterccoccus _ by medium of a tropical fly, which may be as maybe, but it resulted in blood poisoning, The local doctor didn’t. know what to do exactly, and broadcast an S.O.S. announcement at intervals in the Budapest programmes in Knglish, Hungarian, German, French, anu Dutch, asking for advice.
