EVERY BOY HIS OWN TOM EDISON-No. s
How To Make Burglar Alarm For Doors Or Windows
BY 4. Eek. TRIcITY.

Every boy wants to know how to
make burglar alarm. 1t Is the cas-
lest thing in the world to make sim
gle alarm, but the difficulty Is, there
are score of windows and doors In
every house by way of which a bur
glar might enter. Fully to protect
house each one Of these entrances
ought TO be provided with an alarm
and that is a bigger job than the aver
age boy would care to tackle.
A few illustrations, however, Will
show you the principles on which all
alarms work, and then you can go as
far as you like In fitting up the house
with them.
Instructions have not been given
for making an electric bell in these
articles because they work on exact
ly the same principles as the electric
buzzer 1t Is presumed that you have
an old electric bell or can buy Sec
ond hand one for few cents.
To ring an electric bell 1t is neces-
sary only to attach the wires leading
from the battery to the binding posts
of the bell. The push button on the
outside door casing is a break in the
connection of your wires. When the
little button Is pushed 1t completes
the circuit and the bell rings.
or course, the last thing a burglar
would do would be TO push this but
ton. Therefore your job is to rig up
contriyance he will push without
knowing It, When he merely opens
the door you want the door bell TO
ring.
Cut two pieces OF cracker-box in 1x4
inches. Experiment ON the Kitchen
door, Screw one of the strips about
2 inches from the floor to the side of
the door to which hinges are attach
ed. The other should be screwed to
the casing at the same height.
Bend them so that when the door
is opened they touch.
Diagram No. / will explain how to
string your wires. Regular bell wire
should be used. The bell and battery
can be located in your room IL you

For Woodrow's speech is just immense
And straight as line of chalk,
It's full of reason, common sense,
Like Lincoln used to talk.
In all his speech he didn't call
No names TO any one,
But spoke with charity for all
And malice toward none;
He didn't try TO Ego II blind"
But carefully to walk;
His words were gentle, true and kind

men are frankly shocked by this
usurpation of power by the courts.
There Is no more reason why the
trial Of the Shoe Machinery trust
should be secret, than there was for
secrecy In the proceedings against
Standard Oil and the Tobacco trust.
The Shoe Machinery trust Is recog-
nized az one OF the most dangerously
contrived of all the great business
monopolies. II levies a tax on the
footwear of every man, woman and
child In the country, and makes use
OF the patent laws OF the United States
to uphold monopoly.
II the court persists against the
protests Of the department of justice
In shielding this great institution from
the publicity of ordinary court pro-
cedure. there will be consequences
OF vigorous kind in congress.
Secrecy as applied to divorce pro-
ceedings has at last reached the
courts In Washington, ID. G. Follow
ing the bad example of the rather
notoriously corrupt courts of New
York state, Justice Gould OF the dis
trict supreme court for the first time
has boxed to social influence and
wealth, and caused the case of Frank
Ellis, just divorced by his wife, to be
kept under seal OF absolute secrecy.
Mrs. Ellis has been granted an alb
solute divorce from Frank Elk, who
pays the costs. The Ellises have been
on the most intimate terms at the
White House, and were the first to
build on the so-called "milIionaires
row" in Sheridan-ricle. They came
from Cincinnati, where they originally
met the Taftss - -. '-.-.--
Following the fling OF the petition
for divorce, Frank Ellis resigned from
the Metropolitan club and the Chevy
Chase club, and left town. The petit
tion and bill were made the subject
OF special orders by the court and
were locked in q safe pending the tar
ing of testimony, which was done pri-
vately before special commissioner
and this record after perusual by the
court was permanently sealed.
The question which naturally arises
In the minds of people In the capital
is whether a similar privilege would
bet granted to persons of less wealth
and social influence seeking divorce,
and IL not, why there should be one
brand Of law for the rich and another
for the poor.
