Observation-Disclosures, gray-beard-
w ed members of the United States
senate committee on commerce list
ened recently with respectful atten-
ton to the arguments of 13-year-old
boy in knickerbockers whose head
barely topped the table which sepa-
rated him and his dignified auditors.
The youthful orator was William E..
D. Stokes, Jr., of New York, and his
theme was wireless telegraphy and
telephony. He is president of the
Junior Wireless Club of America, Ltd,
and he is opposed to certain features
of the Depew bill, which provides for
government regulation of wireless tel
egraphy.
Master Stokes said the members of
his organization were amateur wire
less telegraphers, all Of tender years.
He told the committee that the boys
favored nominal license fee for
wireless operators, the license to be
revocable for malpractice"
The boy lobbyists voice was youth
ful, but his words were those of a
grown man and scientist and his
hearers smiled broadly at hearing him
roll fluently from his tongue the
poiysyllabic technical terms of his
craft. However, they paid respectful
attention to his arguments and ap-

enough extent to demand protection
under the contract labor law?
Foolish question No. 667,766! No,
not at all, but the chances are it will
be mighty serious question with the
honorable the attorney general of the
United States and the honorable the
solicitor general, ditto, ditto, to say
nothing of the president Of the same
place, who needs the cook.
Just how serious are the intentions
os the president toward his former
cocks relative in Sweden time alone
will divulge, but labor union officials
are not so reserved. They, through
Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor, cannot
understand how the president can
even consider the importation of "A
cook from Sweden.
Mr.. Morrison said he could not go
into the details of the affair, because
he did not know them, but he said the
president ought to know all about the
law and ought not to think of doing
such thing. The contract labor law
is plain and its provisions are not to
be evaded.

Smoke as They Discuss Tobacco's Harm

told of a family of four whose parents
had died of causes other than angina
pectoris. Three of the brothers, cigar
manufacturers, who were compelled
to smoke more than 20 cigars day,
developed angina pectoris, while a
sister at the age of SO never had suf-
fered from the disease.
So far the anti-tobacco men had had
the floor. DR.. r. G. Curtin of Phila-
delphia rose to stem the tide. He told
of so cases of angina pectoris, in
which seven of them were in female
subjects.
Women commonly do not use to-
bacco," said he, although I hear re-
Gently they are taking it up"
:. He pointed to Japan, where boys
begin to smoke at nine and girls at
ten, and where angina pectoris is not
common" to prove that tobacco did
not cause the disease. He said it
might aggravate the disease but not
cause it. So might the mind, for that
matter, he said. He told of an Epis-
copal bishop who always had an at
tack of angina pectoris when he drove
up hill and of another patient who
was accustomed to have an attack of
this disease when he ran for street

Animals In Kitchen Peril to Health

of large number at one time brings
strain on the culinary forces, when
material is certain to be served which
has been prepared considerable time
in advance"
Mrs. Abel thinks ordinary kitchen
methods fall short of today's require
ments, especially with respect to sani-
tary science. The old fashioned ha-
tired for dirt is not enough. This ap-
plies especially with respect to the
cleaning of kitchen utensils. For in
stance, boiling has long been known
to kill whatever was the cause of
spelling" food. However, most house
keepers did not boil out" the milk
cans. etc.. but simply scalded them.
AS a reward for cleanliness it is
suggested that the merchant who
keeps his goods in sanitary condi-
ton merits patronage for his efforts.
The praise and blame of the buyer
has much to do with the keeping up
of the standards of the dealer and it
is held by some writer's that the grow
ing use Of the telephone in ordering
the dinner, thus bringing about alb
sentee buying, is responsible for many
bad conditions.
The author further states that mot
one customer in a thousand sees the
conditions under which breed and
pastry are manufactured and it is this
removal from public view and criti-
cism that constitutes the chief diff
Guilty in enforcing existing laws for
the proper construction of bakeries
and for sanitary methods for carrying
on the business.
The concluding topic in the bulle-
tin has to do with cleanliness in pub
lie eating places and calls attention to
the results of the inspection Of res
taurants and lunchroom kitchens in
this city by the board of health,
which indicated that the matter is one
which needs to be under control.
Proper ventilation in kitchens and
suitable sanitary conveniences ma
king for clean food, are matters of
public hygiene.

peared impressed by what he said.
When he had finished his argument
against the bill the boy turned
prophet. He said that in ten years it
would be possible for persons on land
to communicate with distant points
by wireless.
eff a man has an automobile break
down % miles from home, ten years
from now" he said, call he will have
to do will be to take out his wireless
kit, call up his butler and tell him he
will not come home to dinner"
Master Stokes also informed the
members of the committee that for
eign nations were far ahead of the
United States in the development of
wireless telegraphy and blamed the
era of wireless stock exploitation this
country has experienced. He said
there were between $4,000 and 10000
boys in the United States interested
in wireless telegraphy and expressed
the belief that their experiments
would prove of great value to the ma
ton in the future.
Young Stokes is the son of the pro-
prietor of the Ansonia apartment ho-
tel in New York, and will be remem-
bered as the first person to devise a
receiving box for the interrogation Of
wireless telephone and telegraph mes
sages.
This device was perfected in Sep
TENDER, 1908, on the roof of his IA
theirs hotel. 1t was the result of long
and secret experiments in which the
boy was unaided. When his inven-
ton was examined by wireless ex-
perts they pronounced him an electri-
cal prodigy.

Mr.. Phipps has peculiar distinc-

where he had been wounded and, too

Now when Martha decided to be-

One of the most important sugges-
tons is that in regard to ptomaine

says:
Food may become dangerous even

For the Critics.

Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America OF
serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
"You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has different taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
mo, no! Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical attf-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
