contained so much new slang that
he was afraid lest many of the audi

Mack supply a glossary or eXplana-

were not generally heard in the

done. and every program now car

The success of the production

WHY ERRORS IN NEWSPAPERS.
Reportorial and Mechanical Work
Under Stress.

1t is the custom of many to censure
the newspapers severely for mistakes
that they make. This would not be so
common if the critics would consider
the vast quantities of matter they
print, and the difficulties under which
much of their information is obtained
"Mistakes are made it is true," says
the New York Times, one of the most
careful of newspapers. "They are in
evitable. But with the stress and strain
imposed upon the reportorial, editorial
and mechanical forces of a newspaper,
the never ending battle against time,
the struggle to get at the truth when
frequently every channel seems to be
closed and every effort made to sup
press facts, and with the various pro-
cesses that must be employed before
the fragmentary information gathered
by the reporters is transformed into the
published article, the wonder is not
that errors are made, but that they are
not far more common and consequential
in their nature. So much emphasis has
been laid on accuracy that the degree
of proficiency, under the circumstances
that prevail and which cannot be al
tered, is nothing short of marvellous 1t

W0MAN'S HIGH PLACE
1T is HERS BECAUSE SHE CAN
KEEP A SECRET.
Miss Margaret M. Hanna Is One OF
the Most Trusted Employees in
Office of the Department
of State.

There is only one woman in the
United States who has knowledge OF
international events before they hap
pen. Her name is Margaret M. Hanna.
She is the confidential secretary and
assistant of the second assistant secre-
tary of state, Alvey A Adee, who is
the only permanent official Of high
rank in the department.
No matter who may be the executive
head of the department, and regard
less Of whether the administration is
Democratic or Republican, the course
Of the foreign office is steered by Mr..
Adee. All of the diplomatic affairs
are, managed by him. The complex
unwritten code called international
law is to him familiar in it's every par
agraph, and he has all precedents at
his fingers ends.
But it goes without saying that such
business involves an immense amount
of detail Which is where the peculiar
and exceptional talent of Miss Hanna
comes into play. She takes all that
part of the work off Mr.. Adee's hands.
To him she is like a card catalogue to
librarian-and quite bit more, in
addition.
Not until the present generation,
strange to say, was it discovered that
women are the great systematizers Of
detail. Even the cleyerest men are not
in the same class with them at that
sort of thing. Hence the fact that
nowadays many captains of industry
prefer to employ as their confidential
secretaries women who, with special
capability in this line, know how to
relieve them CT all bother about the
petty machinery Of their office bust
ness Thus they are at liberty to de-
vote their entire attention to affairs Of
major Importance.
Such Is the function that Miss Han
ma performs for the second assistant
secretary of state. incidentally to her
duties she helps to prepare many state
papers that are in the last degree con-
fidential in character. She is the custo-
dian Of many an important secret af-
fecting the welfare of the country;
but, from her point of view, this is
merely a part of the days work. She
forgets the secret automatically when
she leaves the office and goes home.
1t has often been said that woman
cannot keep a secret Perhaps most
women cannot Holding that belief,
wrongly or rightly, the department of
state prefers not to employ them in
confidential capacities. Too much is
often at stake to make the taking Of
any risks advisable. But the rule is
broken in Miss Hanna's case. She
knows how to keep a secret, and the
government of the United States is
willing to bank on her reliability in
this regard.

CERTAIN REWARD OF VANITY
Sturdy Farmer of Jeffersonian Sim.
pllcity Had No Difficulty In Rec
osnizine Sons Picture.

He was one of those stubborn young
men who carry out their own ideas
regardless of consequences, and when
he left the farm to engage in the liv-
cry business in a nearby town, con-
trary to the wishes of his father, the
/ first thing he did was to have a
many-colored sign painted, represent
ing himself holding mule by the
bride.
One day his father, sturdy old
farmer of the Jeffersonian simplicity
type, came to town, and the son in
showing him about the stable, proud
ly pointed to the sign:
BY the way, isn't that good like
ness of me, dad?" he queried.

string Of kites to an altitude OF 1,60O
feet. Messages transmitted from the
set of field wireless attached to this
kite-supported aerial were received
$50 miles away with distinctness, al
though the ordinary range Of the set
was only rs miles. One thing that
aided materially in obtaining this re-
suit was the fact that the kites flew
so steadily that the aerial was always
maintained at constant altitude.
Quite as remarkable as the sending
power of the wireless was its receiv-
ing quality. Messages were received
with distinctness from the battleship
Georgia while off Newport and from
the government station at Arlington,
Va, and Bermuda.
These experiments were but the
first of long series that will be con-
Quoted, and it is the belief Of those
who are interested in the matter that
they will lead to a system by which
the range of the ordinary field wireless
will be materially increased. United

When the Workers Quit.

To the number of men under arms
add those engaged in making war mu-
nitions except food and clothing
though a great deal Of war clothing is
wasteful in that it is used up far fast
er than If the wearers were in a civil
occupation.
Economically considered, all these
men are idle, for they are producing
no wealth. For Great Britain their
number has been calculated at some
thing like half the total working popu-
lation. The proportion is probably
about the same for the ether belliger-
ents, except Russia, where it is some
what lower.
Suppose something like half the
gainfully employed population of the
United States struck work, sat down
and twiddled their thumbs for two or
three years, being supported In Idle
ness by the government during that
period. Suppose there was some de-
struction of real property by blowing
up bridges, throwing explosives into
factories, burning villages. Suppose
there was a very high casualty and
mortality rate among the idlers. Our
economic position would then be about
like Europe's. The government would
be borrowing immense sums to sup
port its millions Of pensioners, and our
problem would be to offset the drain
as much as possible by levying on
labor that is not normally employed
productively-the surplus labor Of
women, children, the aged and the halt
and by economizing in all possible
ways.-Saturday Evening Post.

Hoo Nav Not TrespasS,

Chief Justice Ailshie of the supreme
court Of Idaho makes the following
comment in Fall Creek Sheep COM
pany VS.. Walton on the effect of a
statute relating to trespassing hogs:
The man who drew the amendment
made swine an exception in the laws
of Idaho from all other kinds of tres
passing animals. So now when that
cloven-footed quadruped Of ancient no
toriety goes foraging beyond the pro-
tecting care of the swineherd he at
once loses his character as domestic
animal and becomes ferae naturae,
subject to capture by anyone on whose
premises he may at any indiscreet mo-
ment find himself. OF course the hog
doesn't care much about his char
acter; he would ordinarily just as soon
be treated as a wild animal as to be
treated as if he had been domesti-
Gated for centuries. His fate is gen
orally about the same either way"
