Overseas Short Wave

following list represents a selection of the most easily tuned short wave sessions broadcast in English from both British and foreign countries. Times are Eastern Standard; but both frequencies and times are subject to alteration. The list has been courteously sup plied by George Brown and Co. Pty. Ltd., Syd ney (distributors of “Ultimate” Radios):—

Two experts from the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, University of Sydney, left in October to investigate an outbreak of skin disease of an unusual kind among the Chinese labourers in Nauru. Many Chinese are employed under indenture in the phosphate indus try on Nauru, and it is supposed that the skin disease—which causes much sickness and debility, but is seldom fatal—is caused by action of phosphate dust upon the skin.
