BEDES VIEWS or COST OF
LIVING.
Former Congressman J. Adam gedc.
who was recognized as the humo4ist
of the house during his term. has add
ed his views 10 the galaxy Of opinions
as 20 the cost OF high living. when
we again become satisfied with tai
low dips instead OF electric lights the
little red school house Instead OF col
leges, ox-teams instead OF automobiles
and horse cars instead OF trollcys:
when we are satisfied 10 return 10 a
diet OF mush and milk for breakfast
and fried fork and boiled potatoes for
dinner. when cider satisfies the appe-
lite as well as champaign and blue
jeans take the place Of clothes; when
the farmer is willing % work Is hours
a day and 10 use a sickle instead Of the
reaper and the scythe instead OF the
moving machine, and in fact when we
are In shape and willing TO return to
the conditions which existed In this
country ID years ago we may expect 20
i've as cheaply as our grandmothcrs
and grandfathers did"
Mr.. Bede is OF the opinion like many
other men who have made "A personal
study Of conditions that the time has
passed when food stuffs viii be cheap.
Never again win cheese be sold FOR five
cents a pound as IL was In 1873 nor will
dressed sheep be obtainable at 20 cents
each as they were In the late SOS. and
the committee which has been lnvesti-
eating the subject has very nearly
reached the conclusion that low cost
Of living will never again be possible
for American people
IMPORTANT WIRELESS DEVICE.
Press dispatches recently have told
OF the trial OF an invention on the
French line steamer Ia Provence
which Is designed to enable a vessel at
sea- equipped with wireless, 70 ascer-
tain the exact direction from which a
message comes. This device is said to
be the invention OF an Italian and
experiments made thus far show that
the device Is n success and that u will
be possible for its installation upon
vessels 20 overcome the danger or
collisions lon fogs.
II Is interesting 20 note In this con-
neCtlOu that Mr.. Elliott Woods, SUI
pefintendent or the United states
Capitol has, during the past six
months. made many experiments in a
similar line and he Is confident that
he had solved the problem before the
Italian scientist did so But Mr. Woods
is not a wealthy man and the many
inventions which he has perfected
have on gone 10 the use of the public
and especially of the government with
out charge or payment of any kind He
cndeaVorod To- secure the aid OF the
navy to demonstrate the effect Of his
device but was turned down for 10
seems that naval officers don't like
land lubbers 20 interfere with navi-
cation Now that an Italian has come
into the field lt rs possible that Mr.
Woods will receive more encourage
ment and that the American invention
may prove equally effective IN the pur-
pose for which u was designed.
