SUB WAR FORCES u. S. TO

Radio Plant Owned in Germany Is Taken Over by the Navy

restriction upon code messages requiring

the restriction was put upon cipher mes
sages to prevent communication from the
United States with belligerent vessels at
sea. But since the practical disappear
ance of German vessels from the sea The
restriction was adhered to because of a
belief that the wireless might be used
to direct the operation of submarines.

GETTING A START.
EDUCATIONAL CONCEIT.
By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JF

Don't imagine, my dear young man

you have worn collegiate cap and
gown and marched in solemn process

Latin-writ roll of parchment, that the

college degree is never-to-be-out

the professions. which Will entitle you
to the respect expected.
Your diploma is evidence that you

have retained, an education which
should be beneficial to you and to
others. II shows that education has
passed into you. or through you. that
you may, or may not, be better fit

college man and woman. Take them
as they run, they rank higher than
those who have not been literally edu-
Gated. The mere fact that they de-

their favor, for the majority of them

effort to better their condition. When

higher than those who have not had

Clark will be in control Of the station.
Capt Billiard reached New York this
morning and will confer with the owners

The effect Of the order taking over the
control Of the plant will not change the

exclaimed. It's mighty good of you.
Robert, to think of Myra in that way"
Thanks, mother" 1 replied, but
Myra hasn't indicated what she thinks
of the plan" And, curiously enough,
Myra seemed in no hurry with her
opinion.
1t had been rather forcibly impressed
upon my mind that Myra was not draw
ing as much from the family Golfers as
she was entitled to by an incident in
connection with my birthday. She had
wanted to buy me a real present and
had been obliged to come down to an
ordinary necktie, over which 1 had
grown impatient several times. 1t was
on one of these occasions that she hint
ed rather strongly that if she could
have had a decent amount of money
put away my gift would have been cor
respondingly decent. I told her 1t was
not the intrinsic value of the gift which
made il dear to me, but the spirit in
which she presented it. And 1 did ap-
preciate that tie, coming from her, al
though il was a very irritating sort Of
a tie, which persisted in acting up at
the wrong times.

hint from Myra, however. caused me to
think seriously. 1t was q shame, I
argued, that Myra should have nothing
she could call her own, and to which
she could have recourse without refer
snce to me. We husbands are often too
apt to forget the cares which beset our
wives. and to keep them, unwittingly
perhaps. from many little pleasures in
