HOW WOMEN WOULD RULE.

HOW WOMEN WOULD RULE.
If women could vote for presi
dent of the United States they
would choose a woman who had
made good, and such woman
they would consider would be
one who had reared her children
well, for woman has the admin
istrative power. She brings or
der out of chaos evey day in the
household. She makes things
happen. and happen quickly. But
do not believe either her incli-
nations or the votes of other wo-
men would place Il woman in the
White House. | think her forte
in politics will be municipal
housekeeping. Cities need her.
In every block there should be
voluntary woman health inspec-
tor who lives in the block and
who will find out what evils
menace the health Of the dwell
ers in that block and remove
them. This will be far better
than the present system. Men
make mystery of politics. The
members of secret society used
to pride ON secrecy but they
have lain down in the matter
since politicians began to teach
them things about mystery. Wo-
men wouldn't make mystery of
1t. When their enthusiasm bub-
hled up they would tell what
they knew. and there would be
the action have told YOU about.
Women would choose for any
sort of office good man, for
their interest in public affairs
radiateS to and from the home.
They would choose man who
would act for the interests of the
home. Their administrative abil-
ity would reach out and widen
through municipal affairs into

What these Investigators found was that when
an electric spark jumped between two poles there
We're started in what the scientists call the ether
magnetic force lines. These force lines detached
themselves and Travelled on through space at a
tremendous rate of speed This speed has been
reckoned at 10000 miles a second 1t was also
learned that these force lines went through space
In wave lengths that could be measured.
Doctor Hertz found that the presence of these
waves could be detected across a room by
of a loop of copper wire This was called the
Hertz loop. The ends of this loop were slightly
parted, and it found that the electric spark
on one side of the room caused a small spark to
pass between the ends of the Hertz loop Sir
Oliver Lodge and William Marconi used the same
spark gap and connected one side of it to a copper
plate buried in the earth and the opposite side
10 wires strung in the air. When the apparatus
was constructed in this way the electric spark
caused oscillations the aerial wires and Gre

The modern wireless station has appliances to
regulate the length of the that carry the
messages.
To prevent Interference each ship installation
operates a different wave length and the re-
ceiving instruments either on the ships or the
land stations are able to in In on those
iehgths. The tuner enables an operator to change
the wave lengths the receiving wires and so
get in touch with the Office that is calling
At the senate inquiry the operators from the
Cafpathia and the Titanic were repeatedly asked
what o S and Q means. The effect of these
messages was very clear to the operators but they
were not entirely sure what the letters themselves
meant Inquiries at the Marconi offices brought
the information that the letters have no stgnif
canoe in themselves and simply agreed code

THE FEEyISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder Of the digestive organs. and
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness sed
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimuiant is indi-
Gated, many Of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. CaidwelIs Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.00 bottles. Ii you have never tried
this splendid remedy write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, for sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

Zeke Knew Rufe.

Rufe was telling Zeke about a ter

great measure on the success of those already
working This is evidenced by the Arlington sta

AT the Brooklyn navy yard the sailors who are
to take places in the wireless room of the battle
ships receive training in their work For this
branch OF the service a building 300 feet long 50
feet wide and two stories high has been set apart
The course in wireless proper takes seven weeks.
The first week is given over to the study of the
theory of wireless communication and the next
week sees the pupil at sending key studying
ana pracfclnga the continental code. Messages
are sent by an automatic transmitter.
During the seven weeks of the wireless train
ing the pupil receives instruction in making dia.
grams of transmitting and aerials and tries
his hand at repairing and overhauling the various
sets in use. At the end of the seventh week IL
he is able to send and receive fifteen words a
minute he is stationed at a receiving booth where
ne can have actual experience. Two weeks are
allowed for review before the final examination.
Before actual wireless work is taken up by the
students each one goes through short course in
the ground work of electrical equipment He
starts at the blacksmith shop where he learns to
build fire properly. Then he is taught forging.
Welding and tempering iron and steel and in
structed in the of soldering iron In the ma.
chine shop he practices the lathe, shaper drill
press milling machine, emery wheel and bench
Engine work follows, for the naval electrician
is expected to be competent to repair any part of
the ships electrical equipment. Simple COM
pound, turbine, oil and gasoline engines are taken
apart and assembled, lined up and repaired
Valves condensers air and circulating pumps are
mastered. There is also three weeks instruction
in the work of interior communication and light
ing of ship which teaches the student how to in
stall and inspect the entire electrical equipment
of battleship. The authorities of the navy yard
believe that the student is not ready to take up
the actual study of wireless communication until
he has first mastered the details of the machinery
that makes the electrical spark possible.
While everybody knows that wireless messages
are being sent. 1t is generally understood how
this is done

ITO strip wireless of its TECHNICAL
ties and boil it down to the primal
constituents is not hard" said an ex.
pert who has made a study of the
theory and knows the practice at
is simply transference through space
OF waves of electromagnetic energy.
when wireless operator presses
key, a spark jumps between two
pieces of metal. These two pieces of
metal are connected with long wires.
called antennae, that are strung on
poles called aerials. The energy from
this spark is spread on these wires
and diffused in waves.
These waves have definite length,
which can be determined partly
through the power of the sending sta
ton. The station that is receiving
these is able to put itself in tune to
receive wave lengths of the nature
sent out by the sending station and
exclude others"
Wireless relies on electromagnetic
waves as the source of its communi-
cation. These waves are sometimes
called Hertzian waves and We're made
use of for the first time in 1880 by
Prof. Amos Dolbear of Tufts college
He applied for a patent on a wireless
system that had every essential of the
plan followed today. He got his pat
ent in 1885. which was two years be-
fore DR.. Hertz's discoveries.

DOG BITES WOMAN
At CHURCH MEET

ELIZABETH, March 20.-Over 100
members of the Women's Missionary
Society of the First Presbyterian
Church, of Crawford. with their guests,
which included Mrs. Smith Ordway, of
Newark, the principal speaker, and
others from this city and New York,
were thrown into a panic yester-
day when the presiding officer, Mrs.
Wallace G.. Hawley. was attacked by
a red setter, owned by Jules Du Barry,
of Central avenue, Crawford, and badly
bitten.
The rear door Of the chapel had been
left open and the dog sneaked in and
while Mrs. Hawley was seated in the
presiding officers chair the animal
sprang at her, burying his teeth in her
arm. Mrs. R. A. Marshall, Of Gran
ford, had just been introduced and was
reading a missionary paper when the
dog entered.
Mrs. Hawley shrieked as did several
of the women in the audience. A num-
Der were overcome by fright and faint
ed, while others rushed to Mrs. Haw-
ley's aid. Grabbing hymn books and
such other missiles as they could reach
they threw them at the dog, which
turned upon them and finally al out
of the real door.

CHURCH TO
EXTEND ITS WORK


point a committee of fifteen men and
seven women members of the congre-
CATION. This committee will consider
the various propositions before the
Third Church and report on them at a
meeting of the congregation to be
held on April ..
During the discussion last night DR..
Inglis brought TO the attention of the
members the fact that the Belleville
Avenue Congregational Church ought
to have a definite answer to the re-
quest to use the site at Abingdon we
nue. and Ridge street, which the Third
Church has purchased. The members
at first were of the opinion that the
answer should be deferred until fur
Their consideration was given. 1t was
pointed out, however. that the request
had been made some time ago., and
the answer was due. The members
decided to retain the Abingdon avenue
site.
During the discussion, which lasted
two hours, last night a majority of the
100 members present declared that,
while the various propositions before
the Third Church were indefinite, one
lIililS 10 Gel Ill diIQ Iltdb 10 bhC Al
has arrived for the Third Church to
use its ample funds more ADVANTAGE
ously han is possible with the main
tenance of the church on its present
site.
It is apparent that very few OF the
members of the Third Church live in
its neighborhood. Many members are
of the opinion that 1t is time to give
up the present edi1ce on Broad street,
opposite Green street, and use the in
come derived from that and other
property owned by the church in pro-
noting institutional or church extern
sion work. 1t is believed that the in
stitutional work planned by the First
Church could be made much more ef-
fective II the Third and First churches
combined in his work instead of doing
it separately.
IN addition to the decision not to
surrender the site at Abingdon avenue
and Ridge street, the only other def
mite opinion expressed was that what
! ever institutional work may be done
in cooperation with the First Church,
this shall not preclude church extern
sion work by the Third Church in other
parts OF the city.

The Birmingham is expected to ar
rive here Thursday morning. but the
collins will remain on board until Sun
day morning. when they will be re-
moved to the navy yard wharf and
placed on caissons for transfer to the
Arlington National Cemetery.
