THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

That there is a deep and widespread interest in the study and use of the wireless telegraph system is evidenced by the placing of all operators, pro- fessional and amateur alike, under the supervision of the navy department of the government, requiring examina- tions and licenses permitting them to engage in the transmission of radio telegraph messages. The examinations have demonstrated that high prof. ciency has been attained in this work, which is gratifying in view of the putting into effect of the regulations at this time. That the operators are capable promises well for the service and gives better insurance to the over coming of the trouble which was ex- perienced at the time of the Titanic disaster when the wireless service was so badly hampered. The necessity of each operator having a license will keep down the number of youngsters who are apt to cause so much trouble and confusion.
 While wireless telegraphy has played an important part in the past, it is due for even greater accomplishments in the future, and even before the dis aster 1t was realized that some su- pervision of the private home stations was necessary. Incidents following the sinking of the Titanic brought it to a focus and the government legisla- tion places 1t on a basis for the great est benefit of all concerned and gives it a recognized place and responsi- bility in commercial life instead of making plaything of it.

TROLLEY LINE 10 PARK.

Every year as the beauties of Mo- began park come to be better realized and the improvements contemplated are carried out, there is decided in crease in the number of people who go there to admire it and enjoy it's attractions and beauties. As the de- velopment of the great natural park progresses the number of visitors, out Ing parties and pleasure seekers is go- ing to increase. There are attractions there not only in the summer time, but the skating pond is the objective point of large number in the winter and at all seasons there are inter- esting points throughout the many acres of wooden hills and valleys.
 The one great hindrance to greater popularity, and that Is bound to be overcome, is it's present lack of troll ley service, for while excellent drives have been provided from all directions by which it is accessible by auto, team or on foot, it is now suffering from the inability to get there by electric cars, the lake being a mile and a half from Franklin square.
 The extension OL lHe eIeCtTlC rOad through Boswell avenue Is going to invade a section which is not given any such service, but it will come no nearer the park than the existing line in Mckinley avenue or Washington street, but the opportunity of extend ing 1t into the park is one which should not be neglected. It can be done from any one of several points on that line. It Is an extension which is needed and one which will attract steadily in- creasing business and should be strongly urged while the plans for the extension are being perfected.

THE PARpoNINe POWER.

Quite in contrast to the pardoning power given governors of some states and that exercised in Connecticut is evidenced by the stated meetings of the board of pardons in this state Last week this board after going over the claims of the petitioners for re- lease pardoned one, while there have been prominent instances of late where in relation to that pardoning has been done by the wholesale. Connecticut places that pow@ in the hands of a board of seven members, including the governor and chief justice of the su- preme court which entirely removes it from the one man responsibility and also takes away the political phase from such an important task
 Connecticut takes a stand in this regard which gives all applicants a hearing, either in person or by coun- sel and it is upon the facts in the case that action is taken, not upon pull or politics. The board is not devoid of sentiment, but that does not control its action It realizes that 1t has a duty to the people of the com- monwealth which must be discharged and takes into full consideration the effect which the pardoning of criminals will have upon the encouragement or Encouragement of crime. When gov ernors having such power hand out certificates of release to convicts by the hundred, 1t is cause for congrat- ulation that Connecticut has it's pres ent pardoning system.

THE WATER POWER PRIVILEGES,

Water power is getting to be more and more valuable throughout the country and it is to a large extent being developed in connection with the development of waterways and navi- gable streams. It is a subject which the president deals with in his message to congress by referring to the num- Der of bills which are pending relative to the granting of rights for the con- struction of dams with locks on streams which are navigable, for the purpose of bonding large quantities of water and provide sufficient fall for the operation of hydro electric plant for private ownership.
 In relation to this President Taft gives a thoughtful exposition of his views of the matter when he says: Tn my opinion constructive states manship requires that legislation should be enacted which will permit the development of navigation in these great rivers to go hand in hand with the utilization of this by-product of water power, created in the course of the same improvement, and that the general dam act should he so amended as to make this possible I deem it highly important that the nation should adopt a consistent and har- monious treatment of these water power projects, which will preserve for this purpose their value to the gov ernment, whose right it is to grant the permit. Any other policy Is equiv alent to throwing away a most val uable national asset"
 Electric plants operated by water power are fast becoming important factors in the business world. Like the large and valuable tracts of gov ernment land which contain oil, forests and coal, the government should re- ceive the benefit of the everlasting by- product which can be thus obtained by developing navigable streams, and turning to use cheap power which now goes to waste.

HE CANAL. SITUATION.

Indications point to the fact that the canal question as raised by Great Britain will not be hurried and it is a matter which can be givenSbetter and more careful study and consid eration if it is not. Diplomacy is not founded on quick action and the fact that the administration is to change very soon doubtless accounts for the fact that Great Britain took her time to ascertain how the election was go- ing, hoping thereby to possibly gain a benefit by change While the present administration will look after the necessary details in connection with this project by Great Britain, 1t will doubtless leave the settlement to the next administration giving it such help as 1t can based on it's action and the cause therefore.
 This as the New York Commercial points out Twill impose great bur den of responsibility as a product and masterly diplomat with international law and its precedents at his fingers ends, oh the next incumbent of the state portfolio at the very outset of his career" but if the delay was pur- posely caused by Sir Edward Gray in contemplation of the change of ad- ministration and possibly a bettering of the situation, they forget that the canal bill was passed by demo- cratic as well as republican votes and that there was a practically unanimity of conviction as to American rights under both treaties"
 Whatever the result or the outcome it can be relied upon that the United States will give the matter full and proper consideration not forgetful of it's own rights and position.

FAN PADS.

As in many other dainty feminine accessories, it is Paris which sends us the --ettiest fans Bewitching little trifies they are, delicate and lovely.
 One of the new ideas is to have the fan made with flower-like petals of gauge or chiffon, partially covered with tinsel or Renaissance lace When the materials used are flmy enough, and the sticks of carved ivory or pearl, it is easy to imagine just how pretty such fans are.
 Sometimes on the feather fans you will see little butterflies in color, clev- erly made from the feathers, and orna- menting the part just above the sticks. And sometimes the butterflies are re- placed by small rosebuds in ll-pink, or festoons of chenille in round balls.
 Very handsome are the fans of chif- fon cloth, with hand painted decora- tions. There are pastoral scenes in color, and they remind us of the beau tiful old French fans of long ago. Ere quently these have sticks of the lus- trous mother of pearl, fitting finish to the gauZe-like tops.

OLD NEWSPAPERS.

An old newspaper is never useless and it is never more useful than in the kitchen. Here are some of the uses to which it may be put:
 Put several thicknesses of paper over the table when washing dishes.
 Use a crumpled newspaper to wipe out greasy pans and to rub off soot from the bottoms of blackened pans.
 A crumpled newspaper makes a splendid polishing cloth to brig hten the stove, to wipe the windows after wash ing, and to restore the brightness of tin pans that have become smoked over the fire.
 Small pieces of paper dampened and rolled up may be sprinkled over a car pet before sweeping to lay the dust and make the carpet bright.

No highly seasoned or spiced foods should be eaten.

FUR IN NECKWEAR.

Among the distinctively new ideas in neckwear are the novelties in which tiny bands of fur are utilized on the collar portion and in some instances on the jabot, is the statement made in a recent issue of The Dry Goods Econo- mist. A prominent number now on display in an exclusive neckWear de- partment has the stock of cream shadow lace covered with rows of tiny bands of skunk, which extend down in the center of the spreading jabot. This introduction of fur into the neck wear world is but a natural outcome of the vogue for fur trimmings in gar rnents and in millinery

A USEFUL ARTICLE.

One of the most helpful things, easi- ly made and by no means expensive is the wall pocket. It can be made of oilcloth, drilling, duck or any other material suitable. For the kitchen the oilcloth is the best and into the pocket can be put bits of string, pieces of oiled paper, wrapping paper and many other things which are always wanted about the work A rair of old gloves, or those made of cotton flannel stuffed into one of the pockets, where they can be at once reached, is invaluable for keeping the hands smooth and clean.
