LONDON SCIENTISTS STUDY
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
CAUSE AND EFFECT

Christian Science Monitor: A So
ciety has been formed in London to
guard the interests of experimenters
in wireless ~telegraphy and telephony.
1t Is to be called the London Wireless
club n at the first meeting a letteG
was read from the postmaster gener-
al, welcoming the formation Of this
society. One Of the chief objects of
this wireless club is to guard the in
~terests Of workers in wireless tele-
graphy by securing the granting of
licenses. The chairman, F. Hope
Jones. NJ. Inst. r. E., said he was sure
they would continue to have the SUD
pot Of the postmaster general, If they
took care that no more complaints
were received Of interference with
commercial and government stations,
by the use Of excessive powers and
untuned aerials.
The qualifications for a license have
not yet been clearly defined, and the
law on Inc subject is indefinite. But
the qualifications for admission to the
wireless society are to be identical
with those required for obtaining a
1cense. This society may, it is hoped.
be OF great use in connection with the
interchangeable committee appointed
the British association.

Lodge is chairman, is to. investigates:

IN DEFENSE OF KISSING

~Icnever vet have known Of a case
where human life had been shortened
by the kissing habit when regulated by
anything like average common sense
and Judgment, and I have known of
great and good results OF a moral and
spiritual nature to follow in the train
of the much-discussed custom.
kissing: as a family institution can
scarcely be too greatly encouraged or
it's value overestimated. It. is the
birthright OF every child to be kissed
by it's mother every morning before
starting for school, and l can imagine
no sweeter privilege during the entire
day for. any mother than the sight of
a. fresh, clean, sweet little face being
lifted to hers for the kiss of. approval
and farewell. A liberal education in
that sort Of kissing benefits anybody.
that his mother loved him as a child
more than anything else in life, and
yet has not, the memory Of a single
kiss from her. He used to see other
boys being kissed by their mothers,
and he would go out behind the barn
and kick things to hide his own sore
ness of heart over 1t, and nothing. he
ever had later in life could make up
to him for the kisses he lac to do
without in childhood.
But that mother was an old-fash-
toned New England woman, and it Is
probable that her inability to demon
strate her affection was as great a
tragedy to her as to her boy.
After all, what are a few foolish
little germs compared with an ability
to dem normal affection with
out acting as If 1t hurt you? The re-
preston of such demonstration in
children has the tendency, to. make
them ashamed of their own natural
emotions, and to make them grow unto
men and women who suffer agonies.

M ExlCO.

Harper's Weekly: Many criticisms
have been made of the administrator
policy toward Mexico, but no e
ton has been put forward for a prop
osition that would have been wiser.
What the administration has done has
met the approval of the most impair
tial citizens, and especially Of those
citizens who believe in the new atti-
tude toward war. Gone is the day
when thousands of lives should be
sacrificed, millions Of h~ard-earned
dollars wasted, and the hearts of men
degraded in order to protect a. few IN
vestors who knew what kind Of coun-
try they were going into when thev
made their Investments. or in order to
enable Americans to live in such a
country without running the risks
natural to their residence. The pres
N administration has a great CON
structive work to do at home. It leads
and interprets the wishes Of q new
America. There could hardly be O.
greater disaster than for the attention
of the country and the work OF con-
gress and the president to be turned
away from a task which will make
men happier to the exciting but de-
grading occupation Of war. That has
been the presidents standpoint. and
he has acted throughout on the best
information he could get, and with
penetration, tact and confidence In his
own Well-matured opinion.

Just a Glimpse of Factory Cost,

The ways and means, the methods
and whole procedure in the business
world BATTLE the understanding of the
un1nit1ated observer. When one visits
a large plant, as manufacturers call
their buildings, machinery and equip
ment, one is aware that something is
being done, that a great many people
are being employed to do it, that a
great deal or raw material is being
furnished. that a great many remark
able inventions have been assembled,
h visitor vaguely realizes that a
gone into advertising and in
otherwise marketing the output of
the factory. And then If one tries to
deterfnlne o the manufactures
knows when there is any money left
over, the average person simply gives
it up.
therefore, it is easy to understand,
why the printers and related trade
folk had not long ago in Boston what

that the plant accounts items had all

ordered the United States cruiser

The orders dispatching the Denver

December 10, in which he warned Mex
