 Secret.
 Berlin, Aug, 14-The first international congress of wireless telegraphers which opened August adjourned today after resolving to keep it's proceedings secret for the present and to publish them later. It is learned, however, that the majority reached an agreement regarding the prin- ciples of the control of internati tional com by wireless telegraphy.
 A semi-official statement issued regard ing the congress renders it probable that Germany will soon call a more general conference to give final shape to the points agreed on in the form of a treaty. The foreign delegates last night gave the German representative a dinner at the Kaiserhof Brigadier General A. w.

Onion Finds a Defender.

The onion Is one of those strenuous
vegetables about which one cannot be
Indifferent One either yearns for 1t
with passionate longing or else utter
ly repudlates 1t and everybody who
has any trafiicking with 1t.
If one never had to take ones onions
at second hand 1t would not be so
bad. If the law would only set apart
one day week for the consumption OF
onions and forbid it. under penalty Of
fine and imprsonment-preferably i'm
prisonment-at all other times IL would
be boon to the world. The onion
hater would at least know when to
take to the woods and how long to
stay there
AS for banishing the onion from the
kitchen, that would be a crime. There
have been poets who have sung its
praises, but perhaps some of the prose
rhapsodles are just as eloquent. For
instance, If you want to crush your
neighbor who regards your dish of
onions with a supercllious eye, Just
ask him If he knows that the onion
Is called the rose among roots
Ask him If he knows that without
it there would be no gastronomic art"
that Its presence lends color and en-
chantment to the modest dish. its alb
sence reduces the rarest dainty to
hopeless insipidity and the diner to de-
spair"
1t is quite possible that your haus dty
nelghbor may decline TO follow this
hint and may show signs of not being
plunged into despair pending the adj
dition of onions to his own menu. The
anti-onionist Is a stiff-necked party
