Hello Carly"
1t is interesting to note that in
starting the first message in its flight
through the ether of the Pacific Coast
President Vail used Bell telephone,
designed for wire working. At 12:4S
Eastern time, President Vail, sur
rounded by few officials of the Am
erican Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, picked UP a Bell transmitter
and called into it. Hello, Carty: this
is Mr.. Vail" In spite of the fact that
the words went by wire to Washing
ton and then leaped through the air

reply came back almost instantaneous
ly: This is fine: this is wonderful"
The groups of men gathered together
at opposite sides of the continent
knew that wireless transcontinentaI
telephony would henceforth be mum
bered among the miracles of modern
science.
Mr.. Carly states that talking across
the continent is recognized by the ex-
perts as being of greater difficulty than
talking across the Atlantic, for the
transmission over water is much easier
than over land. particularly in view
of the formidable mountain ranges to
be crossed on the continent

DID NOT NEED BLOCK SIGNALS


President Howard Elliott of the New
Haven Line spoke at a dinner in Bos-
ton on railway safety.
Why, the day may come" he de-
clared, when all roads will be as safe
as the Great Kentucky Central.
"A passenger on the Great Kentucky
Central said to the conductor:
Do you use the block system on
this liner
mo. we amt got no use for the
block system, stranger
oh, / suppose, then. you use cleo
trio or pneumatic signaling?'
"'No; no use for them nuther.'
"'Then you have train dispatchers,
and run your train by telegraph
Nope
But when you stop between sta
tions you at least go back a hundred
yards and flag the rear?'
Nope, stranger; nope
Then said the passenger angrily,
all I've got to say is that this road is
run in criminally reckless manner
THE conductor frowned, took out a
plug of tobacco, and snapped off a
chew viciously.
Stranger he said. If you don't
like this line say so, and I'll stop the
train and you can git off and walk.
I'm the president of this line and the
sole owner. This is the Great Ken
lucky Central. and, stranger, don't you
forget it. She's seven miles and a
half long. She runs from Paint Rock
to Nola Chucky. This is the only train
that travels on the Great Kentucky
Central. and what you hear snortin'
ahead is our only engine. We amt
never had collision. We amt
never had an accident What's more.
we never will. Now are you satisfied,
stranger, or will l pull the string and
let you git out and walk?'"

Whether the mollusk and crlIstacean

fare or not, Washington dealers at least
are going to make a grand effort to dis
eliminate between the bivalve and ORTIZ
ropoda and the meat-giving animals OF
the land. Whether for invalid or athlete
the oyster has no peer. they will say,
and as for the lobster. its name has
been linked with Broadway's gilded

Dealers here will lay in supplies even
larger than their usual Friday stocks.
When the returns of the national vote
are in. they hope the public will have
made 'shell-fish day" an institution of
the nation.

Would Stop All Industries
Not Afording Living Wage
Secretary McKelway, of Child Labor Committee Tells Y W.

national secretary of the Child Labor
Committee, said yesterday in an address
at the Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION.
Three things may happen when a
woman Is not paid a living wage" said
Mr. McKelway. "One is that the family
will make up the deficit. the second
that charitable institutions make up
the difference between the salary and
the third-rather eNaggerated-that the
girl or woman may sell herself.
These Industries Are Curses.
When an employer does not pay
girl a living wage. when he does not
protect society from the need to support
her she is thrown on the public. An
industry that cannot afford to pay living
wages is a curse. and should not be
allowed to exist.
There is some relation between low
wages and immortality. but the great
majority of cases are the other way.
Most working girls have starved rather
than sell themselves.
Il agree with a leader in the living
wage fight that the meanest calcula-
ton is how much money will keep
girl from selling herself. In working for
a bill that will assure a living wage
