NEW WIRELESS MASTS
FOR NAVY Department
One to Be From 100 to 145 Feet
on Roof of Office
Building.

Arrangements have been made by the
Navy Department for the installation
of four guyed steel pipe masts for a
receiving station for wireless mes
sages in the State. War and Navy
building, in substitution for the exist
ing system. Three of the masts are to
be from As to SIS feet long and the 9TH
er from 100 to 145 feet long. The long
mast is to be erected on the roof of
the State. War and Navy building and
the two existing 60-foot masts on the
north and south ends of the building
are to be removed.
One of these old masts is to be erect
ed on the Court of Claims building at
18th street and Pennsylvania avenue
and the other on the Civil Service
building on F street between 18th and
18th streets. One of the new 50-foot
masts will be erected on the Mills
building at the corner of 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue, another on
the Navy annex on New York avenue
near 18th street and the third on the
Young Mems Christian Association
building on G street near 18th street.
But one response was received to the
call for bids for the execution of the
desired construction. That was from
John Simmons Company of New York.
which offered to supply the masts and
put them in position for $11,7S0 in
about ten months time, subject to de-
lays in the delivery of the necessary
material.

NO BREAK IS EXPECTED
IN PRESIDENTIAL PERIOD
Secretary of State Not Anticipating
Honor Through March 4 Fall
ing on Sunday.

Although there has been a widespread
rumor that Secretary Lansing would be
the next President of the United States.
owing to the fact that March 4, 1917,
Inauguration day, falls on Sunday, the
Secretary of State himself does not ex-
pect this unusual honor will fall upon
him. Mr.. Lansing is not in the city
today. but State Department officials
said the matter had been talked of and
disposed of with the statement that
there will be no break in the presi-
Dental succession simply because
March is a Sunday in 1917.
Inauguration Day Query.
However, the fact that the date is a
Sunday gives rise to the question as to
what day will be chosen for the in
augural pageant. According to officials
here, the oath of office may be taken
by the President-elect on any date
after he is elected. and that no matter
when the inaugural parade is held the
man who is elected today will be the
President of the United States imme-
diately upon the expiration of the pres
ent presidential term.
Should President Wilson be reelected
claimed. Should Mr.. Hughes be elected
it is held that if he shall take the oath
of Office any time before March 4 at
noon he will be the President for the
term which begins on that date, wheth-
er 1t be Sunday or not.
Two Sworn In March 5.
President Monroe, in 1921, took the
oath of office on March 5. Taylor fol-
lowed his example in 1S49. In 1877,
though, President Hayes took the oath
of office on March 3. There was spe-
cial reason for his being careful. how
ever. 1.-THE Tilden-Hayes row had split
the nation and in The Star Of March 5.
1877. there is the published report OF
the rumor that Tilden had also taken
the oath in New York. so as to be
ready to go into Office if the fates SO
decided.
Washington is interested, of course
in the inaugural ceremonies, and
whether they will be held March 3 or
March or March 5. The matter
seems to be one which will rest with
the President-elect. The Hayes cere-
monies were held March 5.

IN MUSEUM COLLECTION.
Skeleton of Animal Extinct Thou
sands of Years Ago.

NEW YORK, November THE skele-
ton of the pillotherium, an animal about
the size of black bear and described
as resembling a rodent, which, accord
ing to scientists, was in it's heyday be-
tween the years 2,99s,Os4 and 2,49s,Os4
b. c., has been added to the collection
of the American Museum of Natural
History. The skeleton is the only com
plete one of its kind in the world. 1t
was found in Colorado by an expedition
of scientists, headed by Walter Granger
associated curator of the department O.
vertebrae palaeontology, after twenty
years hunt. Fragmentary pieces of the
pillotherium have been unearthed be-
fore and are in the Yale collection.
w. d. Matthew, curator of the depart
ment. said that Albert Thomson, in
charge of the museums expedition in
Nebraska, had secured two specimens of
the pliohippus, pronounced to be a

PLAN TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR PRISONERS LEAGUE
Mrs. Duva1l Lecturing Before Pri-
vate Schools on Work of
Organization.

For the purpose of forming units of
the Prisoners League, Mrs. Duvall of
the Dover House. ION the road to Ro-
saryville Nd" has been making adj
dresses before several private schools
here. She spoke Monday at the Ma
tional Park Seminary, Forest Glen, Md,
and this morning at Gunston Hall.
Units of the league were formed among
the students at these schools, according
to Mrs. Duvall, who is anxious to hear
from persons interested in this work,
with a view to forming other units.
League Has 5000 Members.
The league was organized about three
years ago, by DR.. R. n. Stokes, and
now has about 5000 members in all
parts of the country. 1t was organized
to improve prison conditions, and one
of it's slogans is "One cheerful letter
to a prisoner month" Mrs. Duvall
said that the organization was work
ing hard to have a daily mail service
for inmates of prison institutions. This
is needed more than anything else, she
said, for in Virginia a prisoner is al
lowed to send only one letter every two
months and permitted to receive only
one month.
Plan to Raise Money.
Prisoner members of the league are
not required to pay any dues, but other
members are assessed 35 cents. which
pays for the registering of their names.
The league now is badly in need of
money and has accepted the proffered
services of Miss Grace V. Ripley of Bos-
ton, who will deliver lecture at the
New Willard Hotel the evening of No
vember IA and the afternoon of No
vember Is. on THE Historic and Gro
tesque in Women's Clothes" All of the
proceeds of this lecture will be turned
to the uses of the Prisoners League.
Mrs. Duvall says that she is ready
and anxious to talk to organizations or
people who are willing to participate
in the work. and she wants to organize
number of additional units in this
city.

THE JOY Of
SERVICE AVAIL
ABLE To YOU

We hear great deal about the duty
# public worship, but we must also
~ecognize the pleasure of it.
In the assembling, in the singing, in
-.Jo-len word there is delight &C
: - cur acceptance.
-.@vh may have his own thought
Uttered, and purpose made higher;
each may have his own realization of
alQes and advantages.
The prepared programme Of the
Sabbath day offers just what is need
ed for physical and spiritual refresh
ment.
Every mans work shall be made
manifest" Every mans need may be
supplied; every mans desire may be
satisfied.
We have our own ideas of the best
IN life, we must have our public ex-
preston of that on which we believe.
The mere declaration of belief is not
enough; the proving of belief by acts
and sympathetic association is neces-
sary.
The delight of the church service be-
comes apparent as we cheerfully OBJ
serve, heed the call, and understand
the message.
There is a work for all to do-a
ork of Importance, work helpful
% others and helpful to each of US,
And the reward is in the spirit of
our effort.
To be found at church, to enjoy the
-rvice, to participate and add to it's
alue, are natural, normal pleasures.
Every normal man should respond
with that spirit of willingness, that
anxiety to absorb the message, which
IS, in itself, of worth.

that product is sold. During the last
week l have visited all the big mar
kets and grocery stores. These visits
brought two surprises. First, the
daily increase in food prices; second,
the great quantities Of French, Eng
lish, Spanish and Norwegian food
stuffs on the market. Food is increas-
ing by leaps and bounds in price. For
instance, l priced cocoa Saturday. The
best Dutch brand was 1S5 marks per
half pound can. On Monday it was
100, on Wednesday, 2 marks. l pric-
ed oatmeal, too. A small package a
week ago was 55 pfennigs. Today the
same amount was IS pfennig and the
best quality OF oatmeal could not be
purchased in most stores. I went into
several shops to get sardines. ''How
much 2" I asked. Here are Norwe-
gian sardines at 55, 65, rs, So pfennig
a can. But here are some French sar-
dimes, the best on the market, at 2.40

large supply. We get great deal of
foreign goods" said the grocer. Here
are cans Of Italian tomato soup and
boxes of Italian spaghetti. We have
English salmon, too," he added with
pride and laugh and wink for the
English Blockade" Afterwards |
went to other markets and saw great
quantities Of canned goods bearing
French and English trade marks. Dur
ng the last few weeks there have
been great quantities of oranges dis

Mrs. Boguslausk of Grand Rapids,
we'll known to the citizens Of Medford
as dealer in cigars and furs, met
With very serious loss the night of
the fire, Mrs. B., who is stopping at
the Central House, hastily dressed her
self, and FASTENED to the depot which
was threatened with destruction, to
save a stock of FIVE thousand cigars
she had stored there the previous ev-
ening-seizing her pocket book from
her back hair and thrusting it into her
pocket-as she supposed-as she left
her room. But evidently in the ex-
element she made a mistake, for her
pocketbook, one $50 bill, one IS, five
81 and a 81 bill are non est This is a
great loss to the poor woman, and no
pains should be spared to discover and
bring to justice the individual who has
discovered the money and is mean
aough to keep it.-Taylor Count,

timothy BACON
From the Waukegan Gazette:

From the Waukegan Gazette:
Knowing what should be done and
knowing how to do it, has brought
success to many men. Even with this
knowledge it requires great amount
Of energy, toll and perseverance, to
accomplish that which fond dreams
and speculation picture as success
down through vista of the future.
Timothy Bacon came from Wiscon-
sin in the year 1868 and bought run
down farm just north Of the Roseville
schoolhouse in Wauconda township.
He had been engaged in the logging
and storekeeping business and had
done some newspaper work in the state
at our north. He possessed some ad-
vanced ideas about farming and want
ed to put them into practice. He be-
lieved in drainage and the rotation of
crops and other things then almost I'M
heard Of. His new neighbors said he
had bought the best piece Of land in
the world to practice on, and when he
made small payment down on the
200 acres, the man who held the mort
gage said he would soon have the
white elephant" back on his hands.
Tim" Bacon the dreamer, succeed
ed. He worked out his ideas and to-
day he owns the 200 acre farm clear,
and it does just what he thought it
would do-raises the best crops in the
township. In addition to the farm he
is reputed to be "Well fixed" with this
Horld's goods.
Timothy Bacon has ever been an ex-
ample of industry, honesty and sobrie-
5y;is one of the leading prohibitionists
Of the county, and should be an inspir-
alton to young ambitious farmers.

AUTOS VALUED At
SlOO,OOO,OOO
Will be 10000 Registered Cars in
State by End of Year.
(By United Press Association }

10y OUllcu TEeSS ASSOClaLlOu.J
Madison, Wis, April 3,-There will
be 10000 registered automobiles in
Wisconsin at the end of the present
year, according to the estimate made
by the registry department of the of
fee of the secretary Of state. This
estimate is made on the way that more
than $4,000 automobile owners have
already been issued and advices from
dealers throughout the state.
Figuring the average cost of auto
mobiles at $3.50, and including 5000
motorcycles at an average value of
$3.50, the total value of motor vehi-
cles in Wisconsin is more than $780,
100000. Totaling the yearly upkeep
at $500 per car with the initial cost,
Wisconsin spends a princely sum for
speed boats" during the course Of a
year.
In 1906 there were approximately
2,400 automobiles in Wisconsin. The
increase, during the past decade in
automobiles, most of which are pleas
ure cars, tends to dispel any "hard
times" argument for the Badger
state
