should undertake this work when other

AS matter OF fact. the reason we
took up War Camp Community Service
was that II appeared TO be most vital
field OF endeavor which had been entire
~ overlooked. as far as concert effort
toward improving community condi'
tions were concerned. Up to this time.
many fraternM and ether ORGANIZATIONS
have done splendid work in improving
camp conditions, but they have not
gone outside the camps and posts.
The enlisted man is bound to 80 out
side his camp or post. whenever the op
portunlty affords itself He goes TO the
neighboring community seeking rest
and recreation and that is when we
want to be with him and protect him
from evil influences. We do not want

or or anything OF that nature. We simply
aim To surround him with an environ

camps and posts which will be SO con-
ducive toward clean living. mentally and
physically. that evil temptation win be

That environment will consist OF

ENGLISH ADMINISTRATION
OF HEALTH MATTERS
DECLARED INEFFICIENT

London, April 25.-~Major Waldorf
Astor, member Of the House Of Com
mons for Plymouth, wries the pre-
face to report which has just been
issued by a committee of Unionist
members Of Parliament, appealing
for a reform in the present methods
of health administration in England.
The i responsibility for public
health, he says, is at present divided
among bewildering variety of gov
eminent departments and local bod
les Health is, in fact, everybody's
business ip some particular aspect,
and nobody's business as a general
problem. Consequently, progress is
fragmentary and haphazard, and
there is no steady momentum or de-
velopment such as a definite Ministry
of Health would supply. Scandalous
delays have occurred in dealing with
problems of admitted urgency"
He crlticizes also the provisions in
England for securing Industrial health
among factory workers. The expert
mental science of industrial fatigue"
he says, is far less appreciated in
English factories than in those of
America and Germany.

NEW HAVEN RAILROAD
SEEKS TO ELIMINATE
EVIL OF TRESPASSING

In furthering it's campaign to pre-
rent accidents due to trespassing up
on its tracks the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford Railroad is issuing
several thousand posters in Italian,
Polish, Hungarian and Greek, calling
attention to the perils of using rail-
way property as a highway.
The New Haven railroad has pre-
pared and is issuing at frequent inter
walls 10000 .trespassing posters in
English These have been placed in
factories, schools, stations, freight
houses, cabooses, crossing cabins, sec
ton houses work trains, shop, car
inspection cabins, interlocking towers.
telegraph poles and various other
places. The foreign language posters
will be distributed in appropriate
places where there are large numbers
Of italians, Poles, Hungarians and
Greeks.
The changing population in south
ern New England has made it neces-
sary to prepare these posters in for
eign languages. The great growth of
this section has resulted in an enor-
nous increase in the number Of for
eign born persons and also ofAnatives
Despite the extensive campaign the
New Haven railroad has carried on
to prevent trespassing, 172 persons
were killed while trespassing on the
New Haven property during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1916. This COM
pares with 139 persons the previous
fiscal year, and is an increase over
that year Of 33 persons.
!, The New Haven railroad is doing
everything In it's power to prevent
this needless waste of life. What Is
needed to augment the company's eff
forts, in the opinion of experts who
have studied the problem, is the en-
actment Of more stringent laws and
their rigid enforcement. In many
foreign countries, such as England
and Germany, trespassing is a seri-
Gus offense, and the result is that
there are very few accidents due. to
trespassing.

MARCONI

In little house adjoining the
Marescalchi Palace in Bologna, Gug-
lielmo Marconi, inventor of the great
est marvel of the modern world, was
born forty-three years ago today. The
creator of the wireless, now an engi-
neer officer of the Italian army, is
half Irish, his mother having been a
native of the Emerald Isle. She was
Anna, Jameson before she became the
second wife of Joseph Marconi, Of
Bologna. Inventive genius was ap-
parently born in Guglielmo Marconi,
for he was only eight years, old when
he began to display an interest in
mathematical, mechanical and chem
ical problems. He received his early
education in Florence, and then took
up the study. of physics at the Uni
versity of Leghorn, and later at the
University Of Bologna
/Marconf was twenty years old when
he conceived the great idea of utiliz-
ing the Hertzian wave as a means
of communication It is said that
while visiting his half-brother Luigi
at Anderno he sat one day beside a
mill pond, into which he idly tossed
a pebble. Little waves widened all
around, and these bore a chip to the
shore. That chip was as revolution
airy as the apple which led Newton to
discover the law gravitation
Fling a sound into the air.
thought the boy student, "and it
makes waves corresponding to those
which ripple the surface of the pond
when disturbed by a pebble On
those waves a sound will travel. like
the chip, except that it goes in all
directions at once
While his. relatives and friends
jeered, thinking he had become in
sane, Marconi fitted UP a Morse key
on the top of a pole erected in his
grandfather's vineyard. A similar
pole was put UP two miles away.
Thus Marconi discovered what sc1en-
lists had branded impossible
|graphy without wires This minor
success aroused the interest of several
of the leading electrical experts OF
Italy and England, and in the latter
country the young inventor received
the announcement Of Edward VII,
then Prince of Wales. In Italy one
or the earliest converts to the prac-
t1cab1lfty of the wireless was King
Victor Emmanuel, who built at his
own expense station at Coltano.
where much of Marconi's early ex-
perimenting was carried on.

Lithography, Almost
! Lost Art, Revived In
us. In War Upheaval

Great difficulty has been expert
enced in the development of the lith-
ogra phic-stone quarries of the United
States in competition with the industry
in Bavaria, but recent conditions have
been favorable to quarrying in this
country, and during 1916 for the first
time there was a considerable produc-
ton Of American stone. This output
according to information received by
the United States Geological Survey,
was from the Kentucky Lithograph
Stone company, which has quarries at
Brandenburg, KY, and an office in
Louisville. In 1916 the company
sold 100000 pounds of finished stone
at prices ranging from IL to 27
cents a pound. For some years pre-
vious small quantities had been sold
occasionally in Louisville, but in 1916
the stone was shipped to buyers as
far away as Cleveland, Washington,
New York and Boston.
The quarry at Brandenburg con-
tains three distinct beds from which
photographic stone may be obtained.
Two Of these. beds are about three
feet thick and one nine to ten feet
thick. They are separated by beds
Of limestone of other varieties and
make up only about 20 per cent. of
the stone that must be removed. The
remaining 80 per cent. however, is
available for crushed and pulverized
limestone, chicken grit, and other\uses
and considerable quantities were mar
keted for these purposes in 1915.
The chief obstacle to be develop
ment Of hthographic-stone quarries
in this country has been the high cost
of quarrying with the Bavarian cost.
| Much of this European stone is re-
ported to occur in thin layers that re-
quire only planning and polishing be-
fore use, whereas all known deposits
in the United States that are at all
suitable for photographic work occur
Fin more massive beds that must first
be sawed into slabs Of proper thick
ness. High cost of labor in the Uni
ted States and of railroad as compar-
ed with ocean transportation have al
so stood in the way of the domestic
industry.
Quarrying Of the Bavarian stone
involves the handling of large guam
titles, of waste, and the waste piles
around the quarries to-day from hills
of considerable size. The marketing
of crushed stone and similar products
from the Brandenburg quarry should
go far toward eliminating the cost of
quarrying from the expense Of prepar-
ing photographic stone. With this
advantage it may be possible, even>af-
ter the European war is over, to mar
ket the Kentucky stone in competition
with the Bavarian stone, the better
grades of which under normal condi-
| tons bring to 6 cents a pound for
10 to 12inch slabs, and the poorer
grades 1 IL cents a pound for slabs
| of the some size.

NEW SUNDAY LAW

The new Sunday Observance act
which is yet to be passed, the COM
mittee on the Judiciary of the Gener-
al Assembly saw, is not more rigorous
than the old statute The committee
were unable to see how law could
be framed which would specify just
what could be and what could not
be done on Sunday. The application
and enforcement of the law, they say,
will depend entirely upon public SEN
t!ment in the different localities. The
Interpretation of the law is left entire
ly to trial judges, the assumption be-
ing that they have common sense
enough to deal with the question.
Sports are prohibited by it but re-
creations are not. Webster's diction-
airy makes the words sport and re-
creation synonymous. 1t looks de-
cidedly as if legal complication might
ensue should the act be passed and
subsequently contested.
