would do more for him than medical
environment, end in short time he
was enabled to dismiss his physician.
When the doctors bill arrived the
banker studied it very closely. A few
moments later the mother saw her son

SAILORS AND THE WIRELESS"
Officials Now Keep Close Tab on ves-
sells Movements.

All sorts OF things can be turned
to all sorts OF uses, and an additional
illustration in this line was given when
wireless telegraphy was used to help
out the building OF the House and
Senate Office building near the Capt,
toll. Mr.. Elliott Woods, the superin-
tendent Of the Capitol, and who has
charge Of the construction of the two
new Office buildings, is regarded as an
expert in wireless telegraphy. There
Is one of the finest wireless plants
in the United States In the Senate
laboratory, and the relations between
this plant, which Is Mr.. Woods, and
the regular plants is cordial.
There was a much wanted cargo Of
stone for the House Office building
missing. 1t was needed to get UP the
B street front Of the building and II
was known that 1t had left New York
and started down the coast. There had
been bad weather and there was no
telling what had happened to the flo
tilla and no way OF getting at It out
at sea. So the wireless plant was
called into requisition and with the
sanction of the Washington navy yard
station. messages were sent to all of
the naval plants along the coast where
the stone cargo was likely to be
sighted. Henlopen, Cape Henry and
the other points were all notified tc
keep lookout for the stone cargo and
report to Washington IL 1t were
sighted.
Cape Henry was the first to pick |,
up and reported that the boat hat
been having trouble with the weather
but was then of the capes. Sure
enough, next morning the boa
reached Washington and the build
ing was going on merrily.
Orders have been issued to tn,
captains of the stone boats hereafte
to set the international signal whei
they are passing the wireless stations
on the coast and Mr.. Woods will there
by be able to keep tab ON the vessels
movements all the way from New
York without going out Of his offic
on Capitol Hill. And the captain an,
crew won't be able to put In at any O
the coast ports for a quiet rest an

past. Truly the wireless is might

statement was made by Capt Edward

club and the Aztec club, before the

was introduced to the assemblage by
Capt. Orville G. Victor as one who 'is

Continuing, Capt. Trenchard said
that even though the national com.
manders Of patriotic organizations be
elected from the states. there should
be grand central structure erected
in this city in which headquarters OF
all the associations could be located
He predicted that there would be
such a consummation, and requested
the Spanish war veterans to push the
project along. He said the war with
Spain had produced great and lasting
results, and gave the American peo
pie IAN imperial republic" with ter
ritory beyond the sea.
There cannot be too many patri

Trenchard in conclusion. They are

and are destined eventually to save
this country"
