Wireless Distress Signal

Tn reply to a recent query regarding the meaning of the wireless distress sig nal, s. o. s. I wish to state that the letters do not. as most people think. rep resent any set expression, as did the old distress call e. Q. D. but are merely combination of the simplest letters of the continental-Morse code, which is used exclusively by the wireless profession the world over. It was decided on by the international radio-telegraphic conven- tion, held in London in 1912. and no doubt these letters were picked because they form a much simpler call than the former C. Q. D, signal. In the continental Morse code $. o. S. is expressed by three dots, while c. Q. D. Is a moro complicated arrangement of dots and dashes. It is quite important that the call be as simple as possible, because many freight boats equipped with wire less only carry one experienced operator. and he is relieved by what is known as cargo operator, who is member of the boats crew, and is only required to be able to distinguish the call of his boat and the distress signal. If the latter were complicated, he might not recognize it. but $. o. S. forms such a simple combi- nation that any one having knowledge of the code can recognize it. I hope this will answer your question satisfactorily

The largest of the festivities attendant spon the Phi Delta Theta convention took 5loce last night, when the reception and dance at the Country club was given to compliment the many interesting visitors. Men who are associated with this distin- guished organization were asked with their ladies, a number of matrons whose husbands are not connected with the fra tcrnity and many of the younger women in the dancing set having been asked to join the party, hospitality which num- bered hundreds.
 The club was fittingly decorated with many pennants. Upon entrance a huge one was observed in the center of the liv- ing room drawn from the balcony and proclaiming along it's 12 feet of length, in the chosen blue and white of the Phi's the symbol of the organization. In the ballroom pennants of many colleges de- pended from the overhead beams and along the side walls, and on the coffee tables in the afcove and private dining room were clusters of white carnations with bit of blue, in deference to the strong body of men which was, being honored last night. A punch table was placed in the sun parlor which had its surroundings made more gay with wall pockets holding flowers, and many palms standing about The bonbon table from which sandwiches werb served stood in the dining room
 Gen. Louis V. Clark, official host to the convention, as president of the local or gapization, was asked to lead the grand march, which introduced a beautiful cot tjlion. With him last night was his daughter, the lovely Miss Augusta Clark, who is one of the prominent and popular young women in the debutante set. MT Robert Thach, Jr., with Miss Clark as his partner, directed number of graceful figures, after which @ hop was enjoyed. Miss Clark, in compliment to her fathers with silver lace tunic and blue girdle, in which the Phi Delta Theta colors, blue and white, were blended in a fashion ex- ceedngly smart and becoming.
 Among the matrons who were at the club as chaperons, and who had previous ly attended the tea at the Tutwiler, were. Mrs. J. J. Asbury, Mrs. Frank B. Clark, Mrs. Willis G. Clark Mrs. William c. Dabney, Mrs. R. G. Dawson, Mrs. John H. Edmondson, Mrs. Samuel l.. Earle, Mrs Hugh Morrow, Mrs. William M.

 T will heal their blaclxsliding, I will love them freely. .''-Hosea 14:4
 Today's study tells of the death of Josbhua, Israers leader after the death of Moses. Under divine direction he di- vided Palestine amongst the 10 tribes of Israel The Israelites were enjoined by the Lord through an angel to take posses sion of the land speedily. driving out their enemies and destroying their idols and al- tars, thus conquering the entire country for themselves, and ridding themselves and their children of temptation. But in- stead, they made leagues with the various peoples inhabiting the land, and brought themselves into friendly relationship. This dsobedience to divine command proved to be serious snare
 In studying the history of Israel. we are Ito remember that the apostle tells us thoso things were allegorical. q Corin- thians 1o:11.) They were real occurrences; but their chief purpose, from Gods stand point, was to illustrate certain great truths for spiritual Israel-the gospel church. Thus the Christians entrance upon this new life of consecration to God corresponds to crossing Jordan-dyng to old interests and entering into the new inheritance under the leadership of Jesus, our Joshua.
 Then we learn that the new creature is to conquer the perverted appetites of his own flesh, which correspond to the idoatrous peoples of Canaan. It is the new creatures duty to drive out these earthly hopes, ambitions, weaknesses, per- versions, etc. If the work of exterminat- ing were carried on thoroughly, the result would be a ripened character. strong in the Lord full of faith. obedience, joy, peace and blessing
