clares Godfrey lsaacs, Marconi
Manager.

London, July 3.-Godfrey Isaacs,
managing director of the Marconi
wireless, gave sensational evidence
before the dominions' royal commits
sion on the imminent developments in
wireless telephone service.
"The work now being done with
wireless telephony clearly shows that
distance is only question of the pow
er of the machine" he said. "Mr.
Marconi expects that as soon as he
has few mechanical arrangements
made at Carnarvon, Wales, he will be
able to telephone to New York.
Il expect the Bell Telephone com
pany in New York to be wirelessing
before the end of the year. 1t has
been proved to be impossible to tele-
phone New York with cable.

Buenos Aires and this country is oper
ating, do not hesitate to say that the
Marconi company can telephone as
we'll as telegraph to Argentina

Sir Rider Haggard, the novelist
who was examining Mr.. Isaacs, asked
whether the time was coming whel
any one could telephone from hi
house to anywhere he wished

possible to go to certain station il
London and telephone to New York
In fact, the wireless telephone stand
at the moment on the threshold of un
revealed immensities."
Questioned as to the security TO
secrecy in wireless telegraphy, MI
Isaacs said:
Long wave lengths can be picke'
up only by stations of the same powe
as sent them out. When the nev

with the improvements now beini
effected in the mechanical apparatus
there is no reason why the transmit

"Not only is wireless service beint
established between England ant
Buenos Aires but between here ant
Brazil, between France and New York
and between Norway and New York.
'Tn time the atmospheric trouble
will be neutralized, and if our new
hopes are realized the future of Ions
distance telegraphy would be with the
wireless. There must be large re
duction in the telegraph tolls in the
near future all over the world, particu

BILLIARD GAME is IN FAVOR
Home and Church Have Come to Look
Upon Pastme as Moral UpIift for
Youth-Temperance Essential.

Clean living is the big essential to
good billiards. There is no other game
that demands as steady a nerve, as
clear an eye, or as unerring judgment
as that of the cue and ivory balls. At
the same time there is no other branch
of sport that is less crowded and Of
fers so liberal remuneration to it's
professional followers. Just at pres
ent billiards is more in favor than ever
before. This appears to be due chiefly
to the advent of the younger element
in the game. The worlds titles are
held by mere boy and youngsters
who yet lack years of reaching their
majority are already in the field after
the honors now held by Willie Hoppe.
1t has not been so very long ago
that billiards was frowned upon by
well-meaning parents and denounced
by clergymen. That time is in wide
contrast to the present time when
the younger element is not only urged
to play the game but many thousands
of homes in this country are provided
with smaller-than-regulation tables
where the children of the households
are taught the first principles of this

Johnny MauIbetsch, Sensational Michigan Halfback

One of the prettiest plays seen on
an eastern gridiron this year was at
tempted by Michigan against Harvard.
1t failed, but the fact that it failed was
a bit of luck for Harvard
Michigan had the ball. Splawn
dropped back about II or Is feet and
signaled for the ball. He got it. At
the moment the ball was passed the
Michigan right end ran into Harvard
territory and wheeled around in po-
sition to catch forward pass. Splawn
showed back his arm, with the ball in
his hand, as though he were about to
throw it.
In the meantime, Maulbetsch who
had been playing to right of Splawn,
suddenly jumped forward and took the
ball from Splawn's outstretched hand,
just as it seemed that Splawn was
about to throw it to the Michigan
right end.
Maulbetsoh raced toward Harvard's
right end and had taken about four
steps when the Michigan left end, run
ming toward him, took the ball from
him. For a fraction of a second, it
looked as if Michigan with it's trick
play would make big gain, but luck

favored Harvard. Hardly had the
Michigan end received the ball wher
he tripped over some Harvard men
who we're directly in front of him-the
same Harvard men who originally had
rushed forward to tackle Splawn and
who didn't know where the ball was
until the Michigan end fell over them.
The action was so fast that it be.
wildered not only the spectators but
the Crimson warriors as well. 1t
failed to succeed only because of i'll
luck. It was the only real trick at
tempted during the game-but it was
a pretty one.
Johnny Maulbetsch is the greatest
halfback developed in the West since
the day of Willie Heston. He is the
find and the sensation of the 1914 sea-
son. Mauly is a little fellow, being
built close to the ground. They say
that when he plunges at the line his
head is almost on a level with his shoe
tops-that he hits so low that it's
well nigh impossible to stop him.
Last year he was captain of the Michi-
gan freshman team. He was the best
schoolboy player of the state at Ann
Arbor high.

fascinating pastime. Billiard tables
and bowling alleys are now an impor-
dreds of church clubs.
And the reason for the change is
that the home and the church have
come to look upon this game as a kind
of moral uplift for the youth. The
first essential of the game is temper
ance. To play good billiards one must
be in splendid condition, physically
and mentally. A shaky hand cannot
hold cue, blurred eye cannot see
the ball, a clouded brain cannot find
the proper angle for the difficult shot.
Every one who plays billiards is am
bilious to improve his game. He can
do this only by living the clean life.

AMERICA MAY SECURE
1916 OLYMPIC GAMES

The Olympic games in 1916
may be held in the United
States. Baron Pierre de Cou-
bertin, president of the interna-
; tional committee, says if any cir
cumstances, material or senti-
) mental, prevent their being held
in Europe in 1916, they can be
postponed until 1920, as sug-
gested, but that they might be
held in America.
The war, Baron de Coubertin
thinks, will not have anything
more than a brief, temporary ef-
feet upon sport in France. Indi-
; vidual records will suffer, be-
cause such stars as Jean Bouin,
+ the great runner, have fallen at
the front, and others, no doubt,
; will follow. The younger ele-
ment will not reach their highest
form for three years or more,
but eventually, the baron thinks,
the war will prove to have been
an incentive to physical train
ing.

MESMERIZED
A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is necessity of life,
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-
tenn makes it hard to loosen its grip
even when one realizes it's injurious
effects.
A lady writes: IT had used coffee
for years; it seemed one of the ne
cessities Of life. A few months ago
my health, which had been slowly fail
ing, became more impaired. and
knew that unless relief came from
some source I would soon be physi-
cal wreck.
'I was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches, no ambition, and felt tired
of life. My husband was also losing
his health. He was troubled so much
with indigestion that at times he could
eat only few mouthfuls.
Finally we saw Postum advertised
and bought a package. l followed di-
rections for making carefully, and
added cream, which turned it to the
loveliest rich-looking and tasting
drink I ever saw served at any table,
and we have used Postum ever since.
"I gained five pounds in weight in
as many weeks, and now feel well
and strong in every respect. MY
headaches have gone, and l am a new
woman. My husbands indigestion
has left him, and he can now eat
anything"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. 30c and SOC tins.
The cost per cup Of both kinds is
about the same.

GIBRALTAR R|DGELY
BY HELEN AMY HUDSON.

"'Gib Ridgely,'" read Charles Ross,
manufacturer, from the list of en-
ployees in his hand.
Accepts the reduction" replied
Farson, the manager.
HE understands that it carries no
guaranty of permanent position?"
Perfectly. Says he'll stick till the
last biscuit in the locker is gone and
the ship goes down"
"'Gib RidgeIy,'" Mr.. Ross repeated
to himself musingly. "Gabriel-Gib-
con? Gilbert, suppose"
Don't know" said Farson. Just
Glib He gives it 'Jib.' He has the
right cut to his jib, should say! 1t
made no difference to him when I told
him about our difficulties. Tell Mr..
Ross I'm not the kind that takes big
favor and then forgets,' he said"
"Ah, 1 recall, now," spoke the over
burdened employer with sudden
pleased lightness of tone. II got the
bank to renew mortgage on a strip
of land young Ridgely's father owned

less, but the old fellow was attached
to it, made big plea and helped

Glib"
"Jib," corrected Farson with a smile.
"Well he's one of just ten who are
willing to take the reduction in wages
and stick to you and hope for better
times"
"The better times can come only
with an entire abandonment of the
old plant" sighed Mr.. Ross. This
railroad complication has put every
thing at odds. We can't compete with
our principal business rival at River
ton when the line connects with that
town."
There is no chance of the new rail
road branch changing it's route?" in
quired Farson.
II fear not. The original survey
took in Blandon here, but the company
were refused right of way by a lot
of stubborn old farmers to the north
of us. So they have adopted the south
ern route. Well, it's the fortune of

business. We shall have to find new
site and practically begin all over
again"
1t was serious hardship to Mr..
Ross. He had equipped a valuable
plant at Blandon for the manufacture
of tile. The place was ideal, for the
mineral deposits surrounding gave him
the basic material directly at his door.
Ten miles away, at Riverton, was the
Swithin plant. Both had been off the
line of railroad travel and their wares
were transported by wagon to the
nearest shipping point. With the rail
road tapping Riverton now, and not
Blandon, the favoring rates for the
Swithin plant practically put the Ross
factory out of business.
There was only one thing for Ross
to do, and this was to remove to rail-
road point and seek a new site. This
meant heavy loss on his plant. Mean
time, output would necessarily be re-
stricted. Most of the employees were
let out. The selected ones could count
only on half time work, hence the dis
cussion now going on.
For a week after that Mr.. Ross no.
ticed Glib Ridgely more particularly
than he had previously. He observed
that he was busy all of the time, dill
gent, accommodating energetic. He
spoke to his employee pleasantly when
ever they met. In the absence of his
regular messenger, he several times
sent Glib up to the house on personal
errands. One day, when Glib returned
from such a mission, he carefully re-
moved a rose from his buttonhole
and placed it between the leaves of his
memorandum book. Miss Ina Ross
had given it to him.
One Albion Knapp came into the pr1-
vate Office of Mr.. Ross one day while
Glib was going over some account
books in the vault near by. Knapp
was slightly known to the manufac-
turer and to Ina. He seemed to have
had the direction of the surveying
party working for the right of way.
Blandly and bluntly he asked the
permission of Mr.. Ross to pay his ad
dresses to his daughter. In a cold,
formal manner the manufacturer in
formed him that he was not impressed
With the proposal. Pressed more
closely, he stated that he knew his
daughters mind intimately and that

BOXING A FAVORED PAsTIME
Large Number of Soldiers Drilling and
Training at Aidershot Make Ap-
peal for Boxing Gloves.

Boxing, London magazine, has
made request for 1000 sets Of boxing
gloves to be donated to the English
soldiers.
Boxing contests form one of the
principal pastimes with the English
soldier.
At the present time there are $780,
600 soldiers at Aldershot drilling and
training for the war
AS there are few exercises that will
fit man physically quicker than box
ing, there has been big demand for
more gloves. They do not ask for new
gloves boxing gloves of any
make or color.
Several firms have agreed to make
new gloves for cost, provided they are
donated to the army
The practice of boxing has no doubt
had lot to do with the courage of the
English soldiers. People in this coun-
try who try to cry down the practice
of boxing and boxing contests, should
remember that it has been said many
times that the time to prepare for war
was in times of peace.
There are more than two hundred
thousand men training at various
camps throughout the kingdom, and
there are going to be 100000 more
within the next three months. Well
these men can do with boxing gloves.
They will be better, happier men if
they have them, and it is absolutely
certain that they will be filter men in
every way" said the editor of Boxing.
