WIRELESS
BY DISHPAN

In his Philadelphia home F b
Chambers, a wireless enthusiast, has
been demonstrating the possibilities
of aerial communication. The popu-
lar idea that to converse by wireless
entails a large preliminary expense
for an outfit is a mistake.
This man receives messages from
his wife through the ribs of an UNI
brella, through common dishpan, by
means of such ordinary material as a
wire clothesline.
The possibilities Of using this form
of wireless communication that sug-
gest themselves are unlimited. For
instance it will be easy for boys who
are camping to be in touch with their
homes by merely stretching wires be.
tweent two trees, the wires being a
few yards of clothesline, which can
be purchased by the reel for 35 cents
at any hardware store
A tin washbowl can be found at anv
camp or summer cottage, and this
provides a perfectly satisfactory
means of catching the wireless words
that cavort around the atmosphere.
If the campers have been so forget
full as to omit tin washbowl from
their equipment then there are sew
eral substitutes within easy reach
Chambers proved this by upending Z
cot that had a wire support for the
mattress, and with this ae receiv.
ing implement, the ticking started al

sent to the Philadelphia navy yart
being plainly heard through the re
ceivers clamped to the ears.
OF course, it is not possible to sent
messages by means of these simple
devices used in receiving. These
conversations must be one sided Thu

It's great thing to be young and face
the world with an abiding faith in
everything and everybody, including
yourself It's fine business to believe
that all men are reasonably honest, all
women virtuous and all church mem
bers christians but believe me you
never will have much of practical
education until you are Jerry to the
fact that the world is populated with
both sheep and goats and that you
are liable to find goats where you least

ways points out an ideal life but you
won't get very far in actual life before
you tumble to the fact that a practical

Half Truths.

Heredity and environment are but
half truths and the part they play III
determining mans career is as
nothing compared with the influence
he can himself exert If he 50 prepares
himself that he is ready when oppor-
tunity knocks at his door. The great
est figures in human history are men
who have risen above their environ
ment and who have succeeded without
the influence Of illustrious ancestors,
and some of the most pitiahle figures
in history are men who have fallen in
spite of hereditary attainments and
environment that should have lifted
them up.
These were salient points in the
sermon of DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, OF
Brooklyn, who preached at the Cen
trail church, his charge before he went
to Brooklyn. DR.. Hills said that God
placed in man the divine genius, and
the men He thus favored set aside all
doctrine of heredity and environment
and carved their names in bold letters
on the tablets of time by the efforts of
their own naked hands and their own
indomitable wills.
His Characterization of Theodore
Roosevelt as "the one figure in human
history who can throw double skies
every time brought from his con-
gregation what is seldom heard at a
religious service-hearty applause.
I'm the address in the presence of
Mr. Roosevelt" said DR.. Hills, "the
president of the French Republic de-
clared that there were probably 5.000,-
900 people in France who did not know
the name of their own president. And
he added that there was not, in any re-
mote valley of the entire country, the
humblest peasant who did not know
and revere the name of Teddy
"And even in the interior of China,
where they can not speak his name
they know of Mr.. Roosevelt and the
principles for which he stands. A
commercial traveller who returned to
New York the other day from China
said that in the remotest parts Of that
country the people had a sign which
stood for the man who meant to them.
not round, but square deal.
"Mr. Roosevelt's success is not the
result of heredity. environment or
chance. 1t is not that whenever he is
called upon to do something some 9TH
er man does the wrong thing and gives
him the chance to do the right thing.
1t is because ne Is always prepared
