Wireless for Railroads Not Past
Experimental Stage.
Bulletin Tells How Much to
Feed Live Stock in Transit.
FEWER DAMAGE SUITS NOW
Policy of Settling Just Claims
and Fighting Unjust Tells.
James T.. Thomas Presented
With Gold Watch.

L. NJ. Jones. superintendent OF
telegraph of the Atchison, Topeka *
Santa F'e railway. who has been IN
vestigating the practicability of wire
less telegraph for railroad purposes,
is not optimistic on the subject. How
ever as wireless telegraph still is in
the experimental stage, Mr.. Jones
would not be surprised to see 1t IN
use IN the railroads before he quits
the game.
we have given the subject a great
deal of thought" MIR. Jones said, and
our conclusion is that wireless tele-
graph is not practicable at this time
for two reasons: First. the expense
of installation and maintenance is too
heavy and, second the inventors have
thus far been unable to protect wire
less messages from outside electric
and atmospheric influence. If the
present wireless system were in use
on a railroad, an operator would
never know whether he had train
order straight or not.
I'VE lately figured on wireless tele-
graph between Point BolliVer and Gal
weston, but gave it up on account of
the heavy cost, and because wire
less MESA ges from ships on the Gulf
of Mexico and from other places in
terfered constantly with messages be-
tween BolliVer and Galveston.
The wireless telegraph is so SIM
pie that a child can handle it. A few
days ago ship at sea called its New
York office. The call was promptly
answered. but the shore operator
finally admitted that he was a boy
in Brooklyn who had a station which
he built himself His messages, sent
for amusement, ere as clear as those
from q scientifically constructed sta
tion operated by experts. One can see
readily that it would not do to try
to run a railroad with that sort of
wireless telegraph.
Il am watching with deep interest
some new experiments which the
Lackawanna railroad in Pennsylvania
is making. The Lackawanna people
are laboring to overcome the trouble
have mentioned. If they succeed
in doing so, the wireless will revolu-
tionize railroad telegraph. But until
these troubles are overcome, the rail-
roads will stay with dots and dashes
and the telephone

TWENTY-FIETH ANNIVERSARY
brotherhood Locomotive Engineers
Meets at Fort Madison.

DR.. j. p kaster, chief surgeon of
the Santa F'e railway, and James L,

directors of the Santa Fe Hospital as
sociation, are home from Fort Madi-
son, Iowa, where they attended the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the or

feature of the celebration was a
steamboat excursion for the members
and their families down the Missis-
sippi river to Keokuk and through the
locks of the great dam at that place.
AT lunch time on the steamboat
Mr.. Thomas called the company to
order, and in clever speech, on
behalf of Division No. 391, B. of l..
E., presented Myer Hurley a hand
some gold watch. Mr.. Hurley has
been chairman of the engineers
grievance committee for several years,
and for a short time a member of the
Kansas public utilities commission
resigning both positions to engage in
the manufacturing business with his
brothers in New York City. He has
been one of the most popular engi-
neers on the Santa F'e system, and
his brethren expressed deep regret at
losing him, at the same time assuring
him of their best wishes for his fu-
ture prosperity.

HOW TO GET FAT
Use Samose, Says Druggist Stansfield
and Put on Good Flesh.


The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need of
a simple and scientific method OF
making thin people fat, increasing
strength and restoring health.
Athletics, when carried to an ex-
treme, often result in straining the
vital organs. How much better it
would be for the average person to
regain health, strength and flesh by
using SamOse. This flesh-forming
food is assimilated as soon as it en-
ters the stomach; it helps the or
gans to assimilate the food and ex
tract the flesh-forming elements; it
builds up the muscles and rounds out
the limbs into shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so successful in
making thin people fat, and restor-
ing the weak and run down to
strength and health that George w.
Stansfield sells it under his personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not benefit.-Adv.

Congratulated for the move that was
made in having the newspaper men
gather and discuss plans for the pub
lioity campaign; they are to be con
graduated for the hospitality and
royal entertainment given the guests
while in their city. The work they
have entered into Is a glorious one
and should receive the sincere and
earnest cooperation Of all Delmar-
vians. The editors, publishers and
newspaper men in general have a
great work before them in this boost
ing campaign. and they should enter
into IL with a determination of getting
results.
There is only one way to be success
! ful in this great undertaking and that
lis by concerted efforts and working
in unity for one common purpose,
namely. for the advertisement of the
interests Of this garden sport of the
world-the Delmarvia Peninsula.
The advantages that can be offered
to persons seeking homes in other sec
tlons are not known; we are not on
the map. so to speak, when It comes
to letting others know what possibili-
! ties there are in this section. Now
that the Chamber of Commerce and
the newspaper men of the city OF VIII
mington have paved the way for this
great campaign, let eli enter into it
with a determination to get results.
THE JOURNAL is back OF

the interests and welfare Of the resi-
dents of Sussex county and the en-
tire Peninsula, and we sincerely hope
our brothers I'm the journalistic field

so as the city of Wilmington, where
they are located, cannot do all. and
the country newspaper men should
not expect It OF them.

MEANS GREATER WILMINGTON

From the Newark Ledger
The Chamber of Commerce Of Will
mington gathered the editors Of the
Delaware and Maryland press at
dinner Monday night at Hotel DUPONT,
Wilmington. The object Of the meet
ing was TO acquaint the newspaper
men OF the advantages offered 10 the
people Of the Delmarvia Peninsula,
and for the editors in conjunction
with the Chamber Of Commerce, TO
stimulate trade, and make Wilmington
"the Greater Wilmington"
There ie no doubt that the meeting
will prove beneficial TO both Whining
ton and the people OF the Peninsula.
Good results must emanate from an
earnest business meeting. Through
the Chamber OF Commerce the busi-
ness men Of Wilmington will realize
that they have a part to do. For years
trade has been slipping away from
Wilmington. The Chamber of Com
merce knows this and wants TO stop
IT, The editors OF the Peninsula have
been solicited 10 help. They Will help
build a trade for Wilmington, but the
business men must do their part.
They must be made TO realize that rec
iprocity Is the first step toward bid
ding for trade. No man should expect
something for nothing.
A hearty cooperation on the part OF
both the business men and the news
pspermen will mean the advancement
toward Greater Wilmington" At
present the business men of Whining
ton and the rural newspaper men
want to become better acquainted.
Few business men of Wilmington re-
alize that there is anything in the
State outside If Wilmington. In a fea-
bic way they seek patronage, and won
der why they do not get il?
Wilmington business men had some
plain facts given that they had never
thought OF before. The outcome of
this meeting Will mean much to the
Peninsula II the object, as set forth,
Is carried out. In a short time a full
understanding viii be reached, and
both business men and the newspaper
men viii be working for the best good
of Wilmington.
