vEXED PROBLEM
OF WIRELESS IS
ABOUT SETTLED
England and Germany Agree
to- Proposition Made by
United States; Other BeIIig-
erentS Likely to Follow.

Washington, Aug. 31.--Both Ger
many and Great Britain have accept
ed the first of two alternative pro-
posals suggested by the United States
in recent note to the belligerent
powers Of Europe regarding censor
ship of wireless communications with
Europe.
France and Russia are expected to
follow Great Britain while Austria
Is understood to be in harmony with
Germany's views. and prompt ad-
justment is now believed to be in
sight.
The American governments pro-
posals were as follows
First--The wireless stations at Tuck
erton, n. j., and sayvile. L. l., should
be opened to all belligerents, their
embassies in the United States being
permitted to send code messages sub
ject to supervision Of an American
naval officer with whom a copy of
the respective codes would be depos-
iteG, or;
Second--Germany and Austria
should be permitted to send their
code messages over British and
French cables, but subject to censor
ship by American officials to deter
mine whether or not the messages
We're distinctly neutral"
Both Germany and Great Britain
rejected the second suggestion as i'm
practicable but assented to the first.
Germany's only desire, II Is under
stood, is that the wireless be SUPER
vised with equal restrictions on all
belligerents. Great Britain, however.
Indicated her belief that all wireless
stations should be manned by neutral
and not the nationals of belligerents.
Germany Denies Ownership.
In this connection the United States
inquired OF Germany as to the con-
nection Of the government with the
companies operating the wireless sta
tions at Sayville, L. l. and Tucker
ton, N. J. Germany replied emphatic
ally that the government had. no con-
nection whatever with the privatel
companies. and did not use the sta
tions to communicate with its ships
at sea.
German officials also contended
that as neither station had been con-
structed by the German government
and both were open to public busi-
ness they could not be regarded asl
within tn same category as those pro-
posed by The Hague convention, II
erected by a belligerent government
on neutral territory for purely milf
tary purposes and not open to the
public. The Tuckerton station recent
ly was closed because 1t had obtained
no license from the American gov
ernment. 1t viii be reopened as soon
as the present diplomatic corres-
pondence Is concluded and is said tol
have much more powerful appara-
tus than that at sayville, being able
to communicate directly with Ger
many without difficulty.
Just what steps VIII be taken as d |
result of the suggestion from Great |
Britain that nationals of belligerentsi
ought not be employed at the twol
wireless stations in question Is not yet
determined, but 1t is believed the
american government will give as
s{,rances to the various powers that
rs censorship will be such as to
cave no doubt as to the enforcement I
II absolute neutrality.

Lane drew away from the machine
Blair leaned forward in his chair
gripping the arms. The voice that
came from the cabinet was that Of

Blair jumped up to adjust the rec
ord. thinking something had happened,
but that was all Of it. He looked about
and realized that his host and hostess
had left him to hear the message from
Iris. He took off the precious record
and went into the hall for his hat and
walking stick in daze of happiness.
When he left the house, still in that
semi-conscious state of mind, Mrs.
Lane ran to the telephone.
He has left the house, dear she
called out to the person at the other
end of the line, "and think perhaps
you had better fly or he will be in the
summer house first. Run in tomorrow
and tell me all about it. dear. Good

look on his face. Everything worked
beautifully but has Blair lost his

A merry laugh tinkled from Mrs.

is planning a stage in the house he

wants"

Little Talks On Bdby0l0gy
BY ANNA STEESE RICHARDSON


seldom we'll ventilated, and because
it's busy farm mother has SO little
time to take it out in the fresh air.
The city mother is always being re-
minded of dangers from impure air,
by newspaper writer's, by talks at clubs
and social centers and at clinics. Even
her older children come home from
school, preaching the gospel of fresh
air for the family baby. She is shamed
into ventilating her house properly
and taking her baby out for a daily
airing.
The country mother keeps her house
closed in winter to shut out the cold
and in summer to ward off heat, dust
and flies. Her baby has small chance
to breathe fresh air.
From the beginning, the baby, city
or country, should sleep in ventilated
room, window open top and bottom at
temperature of from IS to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. A thermometer Is bet
ter investment than cough syrup. A
baby raised in a uniform temperature
will not need cough syrup. The crib
should not stand in draught but be
protected by screen. If the room is
very small, opening on a larger room,
let the ventilation come from the larg-
er room. Happy, also, that mother
whose house can boast an open fire
place. This room should be chosen
for Baby's nursery. Open fireplace
ventilation is ideal.
Whenever possible the baby should
be tucked warmly into a carriage and
allowed to sleep outdoors in the day
time. Only extreme cold and inclem-
ent weather should prevent this~sen-
sible plan. Nor should the baby's face
be covered while sleeping outdoors
A sunny corner of the porch is an ideal
day sleeping room, with the carriage
screened from the sun. In summer
a mosquito net should protect the
baby from flies, gnats, etc.

FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE FOR
THE BABY

The very best tonic for baby Is
pure air. It should be supplied TWEEN
ty-four hours In each day. Fresh air,
properly inhaled, Is the sure preven-
tive Of catarrh and tuberculosis. Pure
air is the baby's just due. No mother
has the right to deprive her child of
this precious, health-giving boon.
In the darker ages of motherhood,
babies were literally deprived Of air.
TO this fact may be traced part of the
White Plague curse of today. can
recall seeing babies wrapped up,
head and all, in dusty little shawls, so
that not q breath Of fresh air could
penetrate the supposedly delicate
lungs. I have seen babies thus wrap
ped up, tucked into cradle or huge
armchair behind kitchen stove,
whore the choking odors of cooking
and coal gas we're added to the gener-
ally impure air of the room, The aver
age mother in fact was convinced that
not breath Of what she called "cold
air. must reach her baby's lungs.
Is 1t not wonderful that so many OF
us have lived to-raise babies more
sanely7
This is a fresh-air age. But this does
not mean tnat mOtner SnOul0 go 10
extremes in supplying the air her
baby needs nor in hardening" its
body as some faddists maintain. The
baby should not be chilled nor exposed
to a direct draught, but the air in the
room should be cool and pure, not
hot and fetid. In this one respect,
strangely enough, the city baby has
the best of the country baby. The
average city baby is uniformly heated
by steam or furnace, and easily ventil-
ated. The country or farm house is
still heated largely by stoves. One
room is very hot, others very cold.
The warm rooms are places of refuge
for the entire family and they are
kept too hot, often every window is
closed tightly and the air is sadly
vitiated.
1t is significant fact that at all
the Better Babies contests this year
where the Better Babies Bureau Of
fered two championship prizes, one for
city babies and one for country babies,
the city babies scored higher than the
country babies and shower better
chest development. The country baby
should have the best of air to breathe,
but it does not, because its home is
