in WIRELESS
TALKS ACROSS THE OCEAN WITH
THE ALLIES OF THE COUN-
TRY BY RADIO.

The following interesting letter
was received from a young man ac-
tually engaged in the mysterious
science of projecting human intelli-
gence across measureless spaces, and
Of picking from the ethereal voids
answering signals from far across the
rim of the earth. Important parts OF
the letter follow:
Naval Radio Station. Belmar. N. j..
January 90, 1918.
Chris Tischhauser-Dear Uncle:
| am a little inclined to wish that this
horrible war was over, the same as
you, but it really does little good to
wish for such a thing, for the only
way we shall see the end of the thing
is to all chip in and win it as soon
as possible.
You ask about my duties which 1
will try to explain to you, so far as
| can and am allowed to do. AS you
are no doubt aware, l am a wireless
operator so naturally would be en-
gagged in wireless telegraphy. ! went

other training station at Cambridge,
Mass. / was very fortunate to be
shipped to this land station job from
Cambridge instead of being shipped
to sea, but l showed them there that
/ was capable of holding down a big
job SO they sen me here.
This radio station is the largest
one in the United States and we do
nothing. but work with our allies
across the ocean, SO you see we have
no short distance messages to handle,
but all transatlantic work. / had
the honor to copy the first message
that was ever SEN to this country
from one of the foreign countries. /
can't tell you now which one it was,
but will tell you after the var This
message was addressed to President
| Wilson and was sent in a foreign Ian
guage so / felt pretty big about it.
We work six hours on watch and
then have Is off to do as we please
so you see it is not half bad. But
| after we come off watch we do not
feel much like tearing around and
raising the devil for the mental strain
of copying messages for six hours in
the wireless game is about all a man
can stand without becoming a ner-
vous wreck.-R. N. Maynard.

measured by the fact that the traffic
in this had grown 40 per cent dur
ing 1917.
From the nature of her employ
ment Mrs. Borneman is deeply inter-
ested in the welfare of the child. 1t
is not her choice nor duty to have in
terest in those who are delinquent,
but to make conditions such as will
contribute to the choice of better con-
ditions for the young. She lay great
stress on the training in the home,
maintaining that from the earliest in
fancy the child is susceptible to dis
cipline. Children, from their very ir-
responsibility, develop from being the
most timid and afraid on the detec-
ton and trial for first offenses to the
most hardened and indifferent on flu
ture occasions. Not that this feature
argues against the nature of the child
but indicates their t~ractability and
susceptibility for training.
The speaker scored the modern
dress for m She demanded an
explanation of what might be expect
ed of the men il the women insisted
IN dressing in the suggestive manner
dictated by the late fashions. And
the examples set for the young in this
matter was said to be a problem
which would have to be grappled
with. The educational features Of
the moving picture theater was
touched upon. She showed that even
now a perverted taste by patrons al
most compelled the exhibitors to
show pictures of a class which APP
pealed almost wholly to the lower
nature, and the pictures of the bet
ter class went begging.

from Paul's dead but firm fingers and
threw it at the Germans.
