A town in New Jersey saw the eco
nomical necessity of road improvement
as a means of recapturing scholars
who had gone to the city schools. A
Vermont farmer declares that improv-
ed roads mean larger districts and
better grade of teachers. But good
roads are costly and most costly when
lack of timely care allows them to go
to pieces. A suggestion comes from
Washington that junior road leagues
be formed in country districts for the
reason that country roads are actual
ly patrolled twice day by schoolboys
old enough to give the necessary atten-
ton to throwing out stones, opening
bitches and sluices, draining off storm
water, filling ruts and holes and Civ
ing notice to proper authorities of any
thing needing prompt attention on
heir part. "-Harper's Bazaar.

NEW WIRELESS APPARATUS.
Features of SeleCtiVe System Invent
ed by OkiahOmanS

Lee ana Kay SldlKj young mtu
living near Mutual, Okla, have
invented an electrical apparatus
which is now being exhibited be-
fore officials of the war department
at Washington which makes pos
sible private communication by
wireless telegram and enables the
operator to propel, guide and con-
troll any boat, carriage or other
vehicle driven by electricity,
steam or gasoline. The system is
known as the wireless selection, +"
and the inventors say it is destined
to become as useful as and probably
far more wonderful in the variety
and extent of its power than the
wireless telegraph system.
Under the Marconi system of
wireless messages can be heard by
any one with the proper irstru-
ments for receiving the waves, but
with the Clark wireless the opera
tor can select his receiver. He
calls up any instrument desired
and it records his message auto
matically, rendering the COtnmun-
ication as private in nature as I'M
der the present telephone system,
where the operator calls a certain
number by means of certain wire
connection. This is true also in
the operation of any machine run
by electricity, steam or gasoline.
BY this same "selective' power
one or any number of machines
can be operated in any direction
or at any speed at will.
To demonstrate the powers of
their machine the Clarks con-
structed in a little shop on their
farm two small boats driven by
propellers and guided by rud0ers.
These boats were fitted out with
electric lights, placed in a lake
about a quarter of a mile away,
but in view of the operators, and
from that distance they were guild
ed with ease III any direction de-
sired. The electric lights were
lighted and extinguished at will,
the demonstration being made by
moonlight
A heavy farm wagon was fitted
out with the new appliance, and
the Clarks sat in their room and
guided the wagon with the same
precision as mans hands are
guided by the forces of his mind.
An automobile was similarly han
died, and many other demonstra-
tions of like nature were made,
thoroughly establishing the sue
cess of the invention.
Aside from actual demonstra-
tons made by the Clarks at their
farm, they claim to be able to
send out any given number Of tor
pedo boats and operate them at
will. These boats can be made
to maneuver far out at sea and
brought back one at a time or in
any number desired. War bal
looms, airships and all other like
craft can be governed in like man
ner. Distance will not serve to
diminish the power or efficient
operation of the machine any more
than in wireless telegraphy.
a few weeks ago several friends
of the Clarks were invited to the
Clark farm to see the invention
demonstrated Responding to the
invitation, several Mutual resi-
dents spent the greater part of a
day observing the workings of the
new invention, the patent tor
which had been applied for at
that time, that being their first
public exhibition. Responsible
men of Mutual returned that night
declaring that the invention was a
perfect success.

Coal Thieves Fined.

Robert Archer was sentenced to 20
days in the county Jail by Police Mag

Archer, who halls from Missouri, has
been in Jail a number of times during
the last month. and last night he was
ordered to shake the dust of Rock Is
land from his boots and never TO be
seen here again. Upon his promise to
vamoose at once he was given his lib.

morning he was as drunk as ever and
had to be hauled to Jail in the patrol.

OPTIONS ON RIGHT OF WAY FOR BELT

knocking for admission at that point
To Encourage New Industries.
Originally the belt project was
prompted by the demand for the en-
trance of all railroads doing business
in the city to the west end. the logi-
cal location for industrial establish
ments. Men owning factories desiring
to relocate hesitate to establish them
selves in a portion of a city where
they are not furnished convenient &C
feasibility to all railroad lines. At
present all of the trackage to the west
end is owned by one of the roads en-
tering the city.
The object of the belt is to accom-
modate all lines, steam and electric.
The road will be controlled and oper-
ated by a board Of directors, serving
without pay, and whatever OF the
earnings are left after expenses of OPP
Grafton and maintenance are met, I'M

men were in the habit of picking up
coal which fell from the cars being
shunted back and forth In the yards in
East Moline, and the company claims
that they also took the fuel from the
cars at times, there being a loss of
nearly $3.50 q week by the operation.
Hanna has two little boys who also
carried away coal in wagons under
orders from their father. The danger
of law suits arising from injuries to
lads who are picking up coal, together
with the loss of the coal itself, has
caused the road to take every means
within its power to stop the practice.
Fines of $500 and costs were suspend
ed over the heads OF the two men, and
the boys were given a lecture and told
NOT to carry away any more coal from
the yards.
Prisoners Taken to jail.
Sheriff Edward Kittilson left at
noon today for Joliet with two pris-
oners booked for the state peniten-
tiary. The convicts are Harry Hun
ter, who robbed the Bijou cigar store
and Marion Booker, who plead guilty
to a charge of crime against chill
dren.

BIC PETITION FOR
new GOVERNMENT
Fifteen Hundred Citizens Ask
That Special Election Be
Called by County Judge.
ONLY 500 NAMES NEEDED
Not to Exceed One In Fifty Refuses to
Sign Requesting Opportunity of
Voting on Commission Form.

Fifteen hundred citizens. three times
the number called for under the law,
have signed petitions addressed to the
county court asking that a special
election be called to submit for adop-
ton or rejection by the people of Rock
Island the proposition of plac-
cling their municipal government
under the commission plan, as
authorized by legislation enacted at
the last session of the Illinois general
assembly. The citizens committee,
under whose direction the canvass for
signatures has been conducted, has
called in the petitions from the var
ious precincts in the seven wards
Those of the men who passed the petit
tons who have been heard from by
the committee report that not more
than one out O. every fifty approached
refused to sign, indicating that senti-
ment among the voters practically is
unanimous in favor Of a change in the
plan of city government. Simulta-
neously Moline is preparing petitions
for the change, so that it is likely both
special elections may be held on the
same date.
Few Politicians Oppose.
There are a few Of the local politi-
clans who are opposing the adoption
of the commission form, but they are
beginning to realize that their infiu-
ence amounts TO little in view of the
overwhelming sentiment to the con-
trary.
There are features of the commits
sion law as passed by the legislature
that do not suit the people as a whole,
the chief objection being 10 the Is
per cent recall. but it was the best
that could be had at the hands of the
general assembly at the time. At the
next session OF the state lawmakers
there will be amendments presented
that will correct the present objection
able clauses.
At any rate, no city that has chang
ed to the commission form has ever
returned to the old system. That's
a pretty good sign that the commits
sion plan best meets the desires of
the general citizenship. Rock Island
is willing to give it a trial, anyway.
No Disturbance in Business.
The purpose here is, in the event
that the proposition carries, and it
will undoubtedly by a large margin,
to hold the election for the choosing
Of commissioners far enough in ad-
vance OF the expiration of the terms
of the present administrative officers
so that the new officers can assume
control without disturbing the order
of the city's business.

CITY is VISITED BY
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Child of Mr.. and Mrs. O. f. Nell
son Is Victim of the
Disease.

Infantile paralysis, an epidemic Of
which caused a federal investigation
in several Iowa cities recently, has
secured a hold In the east part of
Rock Island. The 21months old
child of Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Nelson,
1922 Thirty-eighth street, is a vic
tim. Usually the disease, where it
has gained such a hold as it has in
the case of the Nelson child, caused
death in two days. However, the
Nelson child has survived the fourth
day, and, the attending physician be-
lieves, will live, although he fears it
will be permanently crippled, as the
muscles of the back all are para
lyZed.
