CHINESE WIRELESS OPERA kIoR WANTS A. MUNICIPAL STATION
King sam of Waterbury Asks Mayor and Officials to
 Show Interest.

waterbury, July 2s.-If King Sam of n North Elm street is able to convince Mayor Martin Scully and the Board of Education that Waterbury ia sorely in need of an aerial station. tke 25 or more amateur wireless ope- rators. of this city will perhaps be giy- en the opportunity to do some work lin a. we'll equipped modern station at Crosby High School King wants the Board of Education to institute a class in wireless telegraphy, or at lleast set aside a room at the high school for laboratory and experiment tai work in radia work.
 Just at present King is preparing aI petition which he intends to have signed by many of the local amateur wireless operators and other interest," ed persons, and just as soon as he has 1t ready he will present it to the Max or. with the request that it be refer red to the Board of Education. We want to put Waterbury on the map .'wirelessly, said King to-day, "and unless we have municipal station we can't do it. Every other city in the state has big receiving station. and I don't see why Waterbury ishouldn't have one, too" King is a Licensed operator of the first class in the amateur class, and has heen working at wireless telegraphy for lthe past two years having studied for some time during, the past year at the Eighty-sixth Street Y. M. c. A., iand Marconi Wireless Schools in New York City. He talks knowingly on the subject of wireless. and has a sta tion of his own in his home on North i Elm Street which is we'll equipped

 pietess the installation of several now
 parts he is confident of being able to
 receive from at least 5000 miles, and
 f0 send messages 800 miles.
 l According to King the cost of fn- stAlling wireless outfit at the high
 school would not be very much. He ,thinks there is a demand for it, and that the expenditure would not be SC great, but that it would be for the lbsst interests of the city to inaugu- rats q wireless class at the higk school. For $500 the city could in. etall ope of the best amateut wireless stations in ths state, if not fin New
 England" said King With this ap paratus they could frecsivs messages from all the big wireless stations 1T the world. They could seNd mes .eages very long distance. too%

 He believes that there is enough interest in wireless telegraphy here to make his petition command the serious attention of the Board of Ed ucation. Not until he can get the board to set aside a room at the high school in which to carry on the work will he be satisfied for with this lab oratory to work in. the local amateurs will then be able to form a real ra- dio club and do some really effective work.

ening and checking the Austrians in the same manner that the allied troops at Saloniki have held back the Bulgarians.
 Above all others in this war stands our King, modest soldier and fervent patriot He and King Albert are the only sovereigns in this war who have never abandoned their place at the front.
 "The difficulties of the war which Italy is waging may be understood only by visiting our battle fronts. They are stretched along the highest attitudes at which warfare has ever been known. With all the advantag- ous positions in the prior. possession of the Austrians, our enemies have to be dug out of their nests, 10000 feet up amid eternal snows. To her nat ural defenses Austria has added the most powerful modern system of forti- fications.
 ''Still the Italians have gained ground, and all along have conquered territory on the right bank of the Isonzo except at Gorizia and Tolmino which are entrenched camps defended by almost impregnable mountains, part of the Carso plateau, the High Monte Nero Ridge, the Ampezzo ter ritory, including Cortina, and part of the famous Dolomite Road, which is the shortest communication between Toblach and Trent. We had almost reached Roverto when the Austrian ineursion into Trentino obliged us to retreat within our own frontier.
 But with this exception the Aus trians have always been on the de- fensive and have lost about 200 towns and villages, 10000 prisoners dozens of cannon, Hundreds of machine guns, several thousand rifles, all of which has more than ordinary value because they were taken in mountainous country where it is difficult to replace captured artillery and stores."

pany has the Service Department of
that great plant under his personal d.

lie Menzies, sales manager of the
Northwest Auto Co., why he devoted
his own time in part to this work he
said:
ut has always been my idea to map
out a course where could be in daily
touch with the performance of REQ
cars. To do this know of no better
way than being in immediate touch
with the detail work of this depart
ment, so l am touching elbows with
the REQ owners through the co-opera-
tion Of each department head and I
am at all times open to the suggest
ions Of REQ owners. We aim in par

SENATOR'S URGE IMMEDIATE ACTION
ON NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS PLANS

Washington, D. C. = Danger of
grave complications growing out of
the sending Of American troops into
Mexico 70 hunt down Villa and his
bandits, was voiced in the senate
Tuesday by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the military committee,
and Senator Borah, Republican, in ad-
vocating laying aside temporarily all
the other legislation to dispose
promptly of preparedness measures.
Their statements precipitated gen.
eral discussion, in which Senators
Vardaman and Simmons deprecated
suggestions that the United States was
not prepared to deal with any situa-
tion that might arise with Mexico.
While the senate debate was in
progress Speaker Clark and Majority
Leader Kitchin were reporting to their
colleagues of the house on conference
early in the day with President Will
son, who urged them to speed up the

legislative program with a view to
action on all important measures in
time for adjournment in June. The
house leaders agreed that it would be
impossible to accomplish the task
ahead in so short a time, although
steps will be taken to hurry on with
the work as rapidly as possible.
Demands for immediate action on
the part of preparedness bills were
made in the senate when the matter of
taking up the public lands, waterpower
and rural credit legislation was
broached. Senator Chamberlain de-
clared he would not be surprised if, as
a result of the punitive expedition into
Mexico, General Villa were proclaimed
a national hero and so, 900 Mexican
troops rallied to his standard to resist
American troops.
Senator Borah, who has been one of
the most persistent critics of the ad-
ministration's Mexican policy up to
this time, gave complete Endorsement
to the Presidents action, but warned
congress to prepare for war, declaring
that no man knew what consequences
might follow the invasion of Mexico,
even on punitive expedition. He re-
ferred to the Presidents recent warn
ings to congress concerning interna-
tional complications, and said congress
had not needed the warnings, but sat
still with regard to national defense
legislation.

Care of Hatchlng Eggs.

Eggs to be used for Matching should
be gathered at least once day. Twice
daily or oftener is better II there is
danger of freezing or severe chilling,
or If they are liable to become muddy
from feet of hens or set on by broody
hens during the day. The egg is laid
for one purpose only: the Matching Of
a chick. Help this purpose along by
taking proper care of the egg before
setting. The fresher the eggs are at
time of setting the better. However,
eggs can be kept ten to twelve days
before setting When this is done
they should be kept in cool, reason
ably dry place away from the SUMS
rays and turned once daily. A temper
ature of so degrees to 60 degrees F. is
right for keeping the eggs. Avoid
keeping them many days, as the vi
tality Of the living germ is lowered by
holding. Do not keep the eggs in a
temperature above 80 degrees F. Se-
lect for hatching the kind of eggs you
wish to produce. The size, shape and
color Of the eggs are inherited char
icteristics. Select well proportioned
eggs. You cannot tell the sex of the
chicken an egg will produce by Its
shape.

Antitrust Preparation.

An ounce of camphor dissolved in a
pound of lard is a good antitrust prep
aration that farmers may use to. cover
the bright parts Of their machines.
The scum that forms in making this
mixture should be taken off. II 1t Is
desired to have the preparation the
same color Of the machine, lead may
be added. The mixture should be ap-
piled to the well cleaned parts and al
lowed to remain about twenty hours.
Any excess may be rubbed off. The
mixture forms coating that will take
a good polish when rubbed with soft
cloth. Axle grease is also excellent
for keeping plow bottoms from rust
ing and may be used for the bright
parts. Paint is a good rust preventa-
tive but is hard to get off.--O. A. G..
