 Although it is difficult determine exactly what will have been the greatest scientific achievement of the war, it may readily be accepted that the develop ments reererd to promise to be the greatest in point of practical application to peaceful pursuits.
 In the development of the wireless, interference not only from static uncontrolled electricity, but from various high powered wireless stations has been overcome and eliminated. As Edward j. McNally vice president of the Marcon Company, said in his recent announcement making the discovery public for the first time, ''t is American contribution to science involving a problem that has engaged the best scientific minds of the world"
 Ever since the genius of Marconi made the wireless telegraph fact the phenomena of static condtons have nterfered with and made uncertain the service , to be undertaken At the beginning of the war the service often prostrate entirely even be- tween the most powerful stations in Europe and America.
 For fifteen years Roy A. Weagant, American scientist had been devoting his life to a study of l this prenomenon, and when the broke out was about to announce his solution. Instead doing so l however, he laid his discovery before the United States government and placed his inventions and ap- pances at the disposal of his country. It turned over to the Navy Department and every precaution taken preserve the secret. Official of department assigned experts to cooprate with the inventor in stang stations in various parts of the country The of the invention subsequently disclosed Allies and soon the American system was in- stalled in Europe. Now, without the of the huge steel towers heretofore built at great height to catch the incoming wireless waves, and free from puzzng question of interference continuous less communication the oceans and between the continents is made assured fact for twenty -four hours of the day and at of the year re- gardless of atmospheric conditions.

But man who is born a plug can make a thor oughbred out of himself if he tries Any fat man who has had a fall on wintry day can SympathiZe with the Connecticut man who slipped and fell on his front porch" l And when a fellow gets the idea into his head that girl is all the world to him you cant blame him for wanting the earth.
 Maybe there wouldn't be so many divorces if the average girl could make pancakes like she can make fudge.
 Another funny thing about our Ian guage is that it is considered a good thing not to be considered a good thing.

Mr.. Wilson Says "Fish."

Clarence r. Wilson. District food
administrator, United States Food Ad-
ministration, urges the increased use
of fish as an article of diet. He says
that fish consumption is military ne
cessity; that we cannot send fish to
the soldiers in France, but that we
can send meat.
According to the United States bu-
reau of fisheries, analysis shows that
fish meat contains as much body
building food as beefsteak, and expert
ments prove that fish Is as readily di-
gested as are other meats.
"Custom has made Friday fish day,
and there are a comparatively few
kinds of fish which stand in favor
with the public" said DR.. H. F. Moore.
