Music Transmitted by Wireless
Telephone.

A young California inventor has
designed an apparatus whereby Sc.
lections played on a photograph
have been transmitted to several
neighboring homes which are equip
ped with special receiving instru-
ments. In some instances the instru-
ments have been installed in the din
ing room and by this arrangement
the neighbors have been entertained
at meal time. A wireless-telephone
apparatus upon which the inventor
has been working several years is
graph, in which the horn is an inte-
grail part Of the body of the instru-
ment, is used in producing the selec-
tions. The Stats are removed from
the mouth of the horn and within it
are placed two ordinary telephone
transmitters, from which the sounds
are carried by wires to the wireless
telephone outfit which, after serving
as an amplifier, sends the waves
through a cable to the aerial on the
roof, whence they are discharged in
to the air.
The waves are caught by the vari-
Gus receiving stations and conveyei
by wires to small megaphone. In
several instances head appliances
with a pair of receivers were used
In others a single megaphone was
sufficient for a group of persons. Pic
lures of the apparatus are publishe
in the March Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

Millinery Taught i'm High School.

We read in the Times that course
in Millinery has been organized in
the Dubuque high school in copnec-
ton with the course in hous 'ho.d
arts. The purpose of this course is to
teach girls to make and trim haas for
themselves in an economical, yet art
istic manner.
The work in millinery is open to
all girls in the second year of the do
nestle arts course and constitutes
one phase of curriculum which is
designed to adjust girls to the needs
and requirements of modern home
keeping in all it's aspects. In this sec
ond year course the girls take advanc-
ed dress-making, advanced cooking
and serving, textiles and household
management, and art needle work.
To this is now added short course
in millinery, occupying five to six
weeks of three periods a week. The
girls In the class are greatly interest
ed and highly enthusiastic about the
new course.

ELECTRICAL ERA IN RAILROAD.
ING DAWNS.
40 Miles of the "MiIwauEee's"
Main Line over the Rockies
Electrified.

A new era in railroading dawns--
another milestone in the worlds
progress has been erected. The Chi
|cago, Milwaukee e st. Paul Railway
has inaugurated this great epoch by
accomplishing the longest extent CT
main line electrifcation in the world,
through a region demanding the ut
most of energy and efficiency in loco
motives.
The electrified district is that OF
the Great Continental Divide, ex-
tending from Harlowton, Mont, to
Avery, Idaho, a distance of 440 miles
dis miles from Three Forks to
Deer Lodge, Montana, now in opera
tom
The power used to operate the
giant electric locomotives is obtained
from mountain waterfalls. From the
| hvdro-electrlc plant at Great Falls
and from ether plants, the electricity
is transmitted at the high tension of
100000 volts alternating current t.
IA sub-stations of the railway, and
there is stepped down and changed
to 5000 volts direct, the current used
by the locomotives.
One Of the scientific marvels is re-
generative braking, by which the
train Cp down oro dos instead of pnn-
Stunning electricity, actually produces
it, and by which at the same time the
speed of the train is kept under per
feet control without using the air
brakes.
With electrification has come, con-
servation of resources, more efficient
and economical operation, better
maintenance of schedules, the practi-
cal elimination of all trouble due to
snow and cold, smoother riding, and
enhanced comforts owing to freedom
from smoke, dirt and cinders.
Electriflcation added to its other
advantages, makes the milwaukee,
more than ever the road of efficiency
comfort and charm. Remember this
fact when planning YOUR next trip to
the Pacific North Coast.

She is Going on a Farm.

I'm going to own farm and De

tiss, daughter of Dean c. F. Curtlss,
of Iowa State college. Miss Curtiss,
who is quite pretty and one OF the
bellies of the school, is taking an agri-
cultural course. She is sophomore.

come one of the best judges OF live

paid for after the same were deliver
ed.
The German firm wrote very
painstaking letter, stating that the
complete line of samples asked for
would be made up and shipped
without charge to the firm that asked
for them. They also said that if
these samples were defective in any
particular, or if they failed to meet
the needs, ideas, or customs of the
people who were expected to use
them, to be sure and let them know,
and more samples would be made
up, also without charge. 1t is need
less to say that the German. firm got
the order, though the coming of the
war of course blocked any regular
delivery.
This story no doubt illustrates why
so many American manufacturers
have found it hard to get foreign
trade. They expect immediate re-
turns, and are not content to build
slowly for the future. Successful
trade is not secured in that way, but
is the result of patient effort which
does not expect that business can
be profitable at the very beginning.

U. S. POSTAL AUTHORITIES

Itself out. is forcing United States
postal authorities to be especially
watchful to prevent their advertise

given publicity in the United States in
two ways, it was said at the Post Office
Department today. Individual letters
are written to American citizens In an
effort to induce them to purchase tick
cts and news stories are circulated Of
fabulous sums won.
Letters soliciting clients, II they fall
into the departments hands, never

are diverted and opened.
With news stories the department
does not find IT so easy to deal. The

holds that any news story advertising
a lottery must be barred from the

mittee of high school teachers. after
their representatives had listened to

'In his speech before the Federation
of Citizens Associations. Commissioner
Newman made an explanation of the

the people a more direct interest in
school affairs than they have. at pres
ent.' In support of their contention
that they have the wishes of the peo-
pie at heart, the Commissioners have
cited many times their Difference to
the wishes of the Park View Citizens
Association in the matter of naming
the Park View School. How, then, have
they maintained their policy in franz
ing a bill of such vital Importance to
the whole community without any

director ,of education. corresponding to

over his subordinates.
Furthermore. they contend as fol-
lows:
I'm many respects the board of edu-
cation is absolutely Independent of the
Commissioners. The exact line dividing g
the ways in which the board of educa-
| tion is Independent of the Commits
sioners is indistinct and uneven; in
fact. there is no such line and can be
no such line
There can be such a line and there
need be no vagueness about 1t. if finan :
cial as we'll as all other responsibility
This is the method in vogue all
over the United States and particularly
wherever the best results are obtained
said Representative Foster before the
committee which reported the present
school law.
THE Commissioners say that they
will substitute one head for two Heads
in the control of the school system
But their plan is inconsistent with
their theory. What they have done is
to scatter power by giving:
Il: Advisory Advisory power to the new board
20 Supervisory power over instruc-
tion. but not over instructors. to the
new director of education
%. Power Of appointment, promotion
and removal of 2.200 employees to them
selves.
The Commissioners school plan is
not one-headed. but hydra -headed or
no-headed.'
