That Flute by Wireless.

1t is an unprecedented phenomenon
in wireless telephone and telegraphy
which is told by Capt. Schmidt of the
German steamship Solfels, who re-
ports while bound from Calcutta and
Ceylon to Philadelphia he heard the
clear notes Of a flute at st. Michaels.
S95 miles distant from the Solfels.
On the night of September 20 Wire
less Operator Blitz called Capt.
Schmidt's as well as Chief Officer
Lampe's attention to the fact that
some one was playing on the flute.

400 miles away, all hands we're inter

from. The music continued. and a
wireless message was sent to st.
Michaels, the capital of the Azores. A
reply stated that 1t was a national
holiday, and the man at the flute was
playing God Save the King"

Solfels was of the Tellenfunken type.

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies, as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor a quarter or a half cent of every
dollar they take in, most of their sub
scxptions going for salaries to Off
GERS and investigators, for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert Of
Denver, Colo, was condemning these
charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back is too
new and fashionable, George, to give
away?'
Its the agent of the Alpha Incor-
porated Charities that's at the door,
isn't it?'

enough before it gets to the poor duh

What is WOman'S
Beauty but Health?
And the Basis Of Her Health and
Vigor Lies in the Careful Reg
uLdrion of the BoEceLS.

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority Of cases the basis oil
health, and the cause of sickness, a
be traced to the action OF the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be cor cted.
An ideal remedy for women and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly sr1ong them Mrs. c. s.
Vance, of 5li 2 3ay St, New Castle,
Pa. At times she had spells OF indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give it to babies and children. II
is also admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to all
who by reason of age or infirmity can
not stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills
or purgatives. These should always be

yet it is one which affords a maximum
of roominess downstairs, at the same
time separating the dining room
space to a certain extent from the
living room. An open stairway going
up along the a wall CT the living
room also adds to the apparent space.
This arrangement affords wonderful
possibilities for attractive interior
decorative effects. Such a space is
also very easily furnished for comfort.
Another desirable feature Of this
plan is the bedroom and bath on the
first floor. This is a feature very
much desired, but in the ordinary
house plan of this size it seems to be
a difficult matter to arrange.
The kitchen is the proper size and
shape for convenience and is well sup
piled with cases and the sink is well

The exterior of this house is very
attractive. Narrow siding is used
from the water table up to the second
story window sill course. Above this
cement plaster is used. 1t is suggest
ed that both clapboard and plaster
work should be painted dark brown,
while the trimming should be white.
While creosoted shingles make a very
good roof for this design, other forms
of roofing of a more enduring and
fire resisting nature could well be
used. In one instance, where this de
sign was carried out to very good eff
feet last year, the roof was covered
with metal Spanish tile.

ANACOSTIA. u. c. OCT. 10
A delegation of citizens from the con-
gress Heights Public Improvement AS
sociation will wait upon Engineer Com
missioner Harding tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock in his office in the Munich
pal building to discuss the public school
situation in Congress Heights, in so far
as it is affected by the reconstruction
of the school house in that suburb.
The association has appointed Edward
]. Newcomb, chairman: A. E. Mckay,
and Francis Wahler as its committee TO
attend the hearing.
Commissioner Harding has set the
time for the committees attendance.
The members will seek enlightenment
about the late period for beginning the
reconstruction of the Congress Heights
building, and will try to find out why.
when 1t was apparent that 10 begin the
work would cause the pupils to be sent
elsewhere, the AnaCOstia schools ana
small buildings on the school reserva-
ton in Congress Heights being utilized
for them now, ii was not decided TO
postpone operations until more favor
able time.
The association has voiced already its
diSpleasure at the alleged delay, and
will ask Commissioner Harding to have
the operations at the Congress Heights
School hastened.
Anacostia's plea for universal street
car transfers in the District will be pre-
sented before the Public Utilities Com
mission at the hearing to be given by
that body next Monday morning on the
subject by Charles r. Burr. the presi-
dent Of the AnaCostia Citizens AssOCia-
ton, and Maurice Otterback. They
have become familiar with the issue be-
cause they have been foremost in urg-
ing free street car transfers between
street car companies in the District for
several years. The association has
named them to represent ii at the hear
ing. They will propose as compromise
a 2-cent transfer for Anacostians be-
Electric Company and the Capital Trac-
ton Company.
Congress Heights street car patrons,
who ride frequently from town as far
as Anacostia, where they. may be trans
ferred to the Congress Heights line,
have been paying two fares in many in
stances. but by an order issued to en-
ployes of the street car company by the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. following a reference of the mat
ter from the Congress Heights Public
Improvement Association. their trans
fer privilege will be safeguarded hence
forth. The Congress Heights citizens
complained that when they requested a
transfer when entering an Anacostia
car they were told often that it would
be issued when Anacostia was reached.
