PRAISES WORK IN ENGLAND
Sunday School Worker Closes Tour
and Finds the Movement
Progressing.

London. = Marion Lawrance. the
brought to a close his British tour. 1t
had lasted since September. when he
left, Chicago.
The object of this tour was five
fold: To inspire and strengthen the
interest in Sunday school work, to
consider practical Sunday school prob
lens of the day, to emphasize the Sun
day school as the church's best evan
gelistic force, and to call attention to
its work as missionary force and as
a medium for the cultivation of the
spirit. of international brotherhood and
peace.
Mr.. Lawrance considers the position
of the English Sunday school move
ment to be satisfactory. When asked
whether he considered the American
child brighter than the English, Mr..
Lawrance replied:
mo, children are children the world
over"
His aphorisms have a directness
that appealed to Sunday school lead
ers throughout the kingdom.
1T is all very WE'LL" he says, ito at
tract children to Sunday schools; but
you must make it worth their while to
remain inside. You can fool chickens
by offering them sawdust once or
twice. but not for longer time. j.
IF you go fishing, and the fish will
them. You just change your bait"

as men doing similar work and finally
they won out. But the victory has not
been altogether without its drawbacks
Heretofore, because of the. difference
in salaries demanded, the tendency
has been to- evclade the men in favor
of the women wherever possible.
Now, however. the salaries being
equal, the women find themselves diff
ferentiated against whenever men
teachers are procurable The number
of the latter, however, is limited, and
not very many women find themselves
excluded from the better positions.
Out of the campaign for the passage
of the equal pay bill have grown many
charges of the corrupt use of money.
At the hearing held in New York
Miss Strachan stated that the women
had spent 100000 to bring about the
passage of the equal pay law. Miss
Strachan denies that any of this money
was paid to influence legislation. Most
of it went to lawyers. On the other
hand owen Behan has been charged
before the grievance department of the
Bar association with having raised a
corruption fund to further legislation
for the men teachers.

STOPS THE BLOOD TO BRAIN
Surgeon Defects II In Head by Liga-
ton of the Internal
Garfield.

Philadelphia-Dem In adj
vanced surgery were made In many
Philadelphia hospitals by famous sur
geons for the benefit of delegates as
sembled in this city, who attended the
Clinical Congress OF Surgeons OF
North America.
An operation considered fatal until
modern surgery lent its aid was per-
formed at the University hospital to
defect the flow of blood from one
part of the injured head of a patient.
Its purpose was accomplished by DR..
John B. Beaver by the legation OF the
internal cartoid, the principal artery
of the neck supplying blood to the
greater part Of the brain, the orbit,
internal ear and the forehead and
nose.
The operation stopped the supply OF
blood to the brain through this chan
mel, relieving the congestion. A suf-
ticient amount, however, to maintain
life is still conveyed by the external
cartoid and It's branches, and as the
injured portion of the skull heals ma
ture will adapt itself to the changed
condition and the arteries which have
been forced to do added duty will
gradually dilate until the normal sup
ply of blood is distributed in all parts
OF the head.

which the problem of long distance
telephony over land lines of hum

"In view Of the enormous strides
made In recent years In the direction
of increasing the range of telephone

atlantic telephony is full of hope,
and l confess that / have great faith
IL the ability of engineers to provide
eventually the means for closer inter-
course Of peoples separated by OBJ
stacles which may be considered in
surmountable nowadays"
At first blush the layman will point
out that transatlantic submarine cable
telegraphy has been in successful op-
Grafton for many years; so why not
transatlantic telephony? The answer
is that while telegraphy is pos
sible as long as the receiving station
is aDle to discern the difference be-
tween short and long electrical i'm
pulse, the impulse that constitutes an
electrical telephone message must be
transmitted and received with little
or no alteration in order to be recog-
nized as articulate speech at the re-
ceiving station.
Cable telegraphy differs from land
telegraphy on account of the fact that
a submarine cable possesses in a high
degree what Is known as capacity"
that is. before 1t will transmit cleo
trical impulses in measurable amounts
1t must be electrically charged in a
manner similar to Leyden jar.

invention to submarine telephone ca
bic across the English channel, be-
tween England and France, so that
telephone conversation can now be
carried on successfully between the
two countries. And this was in the
face of hostile criticisms by eminent
European and American telephone en-
gineers, that the practical difficulties
in the way of this accomplishment
could not possibly be overcome. Yet
the thing was done in spite of the
doubling Thomases of the telephone
profession. Then why not a transat-
lantic submarine telephone? 1t is. of
course, a much more difficult PROPOSE
ton, but the obstacle is one only Of
degree, and as the problem is theoreti-
cally possible it is quite likely that

Maj. w. A. J. O'Meara, engineer in
chief of the work of connecting Eng

fident that transatlantic telephony will
come with continued advancement in
the means of increasing the range Of
telephone speech. In letter to Pop

and value of establishing telephone
across the Atlantic, l may say that
such service would of course, be of
considerable value. but such a desira-
