HEALTHY BOYS
COUNTY INDUSTRY
TRAINING SCHOOL

The Shelby County Industrial and
Training school has a health record
perhaps unexcelled by any institution
Of its kind in the United States, ac-
cording to the health statistics in the
hands OF Mrs, r. NJ. Mcneil, president
of the school. The school, which has
been IN existence for IA years, and has
handled more than 600 pupils, has never
had a death, Only one death has oc-
CURED In the negro school.
During the influenza epidemic more
than 80 of the boys were stricken with
the malady, but not a single n de-
velOped pneumonia and few remained
confined more than a few days.
Mrs. Mcneil attributes the health OF
the youths to simple ways of living.
The diet given them is the most whole
some imaginable, consisting of butter
milk, rich in Tactic acid, fresh sweet
milk and butter, rich in proteins and
fats, fresh vegetables in summer and
potatoes and turnips in winter and
plenty Of fruits, rich in natural acids.
Peas, beans and other field truck is
grown for them in abundance.
Another safeguard for the young
stcrs' health, according to Mrs. Nc
Neil, Is the dress worn by the boys.
They wear clothing of uniform texture
the year round. with the exception Of
heavier underwear in winter. The boys
scorn overccats and many of them
would go barefooted all winter if al
lowed, The beneficial effects of open
air breathing IS found in their labors
in the field and the games on the
school CamprS,
Medicine has played a very small
part in keeping the boys healthy, Mrs.
Mcneil stating that the drug bills for
the institution have never exceeded a
total of SIS a year.
The dormitories are kept in sanitary
condition, and at a uniform tempera-
ture in winter, The boys take to their
baths like ducks to water, and are
trained not to exhibit the natural dis
like for water so characteristic tC
urChins OF tender years.

YOUNG INVENTOR
ELIMINATES GREAT
WIRELESS PROBLEM

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-An invention
which has taken the static" out of
wireless biography. removing thereby
the greatest obstacle to the clear trans
mission of radio messages, has been
perfected by Roy A. Weagant, chief
engineer Of the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph Company of America, 1t Is an
nounced.
According to Edward ]. Nally, vice.
president and general manager of the
company, who made the announcement,
the invention not only makes possible
the sending Of clear radio messages re-
CARELESS Of atmospheric conditions, but
eliminates Interference" thereby
making possible the operation Of in7
Vulnerable radio stations without
crossing of messages.
The invention, Mr.. Nally said, also
does away with the necessity Of con
structing huge wireless towers. Per-
feet service can be obtained, he said,
with the use of ~antennae extending
only a few feet from the ground.
Mr., Nally declared the invention
marked a new era in world communi-
cation and was second in Importance
in the field of radio telegraph only to
Marconis invention.
Mr.. Weagant, who is only. 81, has
been working on the problem of
static for Is years and took out
patent papers or his invention shortly
before the United States entered the
war, BY agreement with Mr.. Weagant
and the Marconi company, the govern
ment kept the invention secret, disclos-
ing it only to the allied nations.
Mr.. Nally declined to make known
details OF the Weagant invention, as
serting the United States and allied
governments had agreed it would be
wise to withhold all information con-
corning it until the actual Signing and
sealing Of a peace treaty.
The only statement he would make
with reference to the invention was
that the new device employed a "se-
leCtive system"
Static the condition which the new
invention is said to overcome, is the
presence in the air of a large amount
Of uncontrolled electricity which under
certain atmospheric conditions, made it
impossible to send readable wireless
messages.

GRATIOT COUNTY BOY
IN ARMY WRITES
Continued from page one)

Leaving here at $3.50 we began to
see leaves, blue grass country, hills,
negroes and flowers. Here, too, was
where we saw some very fine scenery.
Our next stop was at Richmond, KY,
and | think that if ever ! wish hospi-
tality and friends, shall go back TO
old Richmond. 1t was at this station
that we were met by our largest, most
hospitable and most patriotic crowd
of the trip 1t was II o'clock noon,
we were nearly starved and the water
on the train was worse than awful
Now maybe we were not glad to see a
long serving counter loaded with
sandwiches Of many kinds, cakes,
cookies, cigarettes, matches and cof-
fee. This coffee was real coffee, the
first | have tasted since | left home
for army life. In line by the table
stood the Red Cross girls and ladies
of old Kentucky. 1t was sure a
grand sight and welcome to US sol
diers. How we cheered them and in
turn were cheered. The train made
stop fabout thirty minutes and we
visited and dined well once on the trip.
Here we saw some very pretty girls
and got some Of their addres ses. De
rarted with many cheers and fare
wells.
Now we began TO pass through tun-
nels, some very large and long. We
passed through about thirty during
daylight and as many more at night.
Windows had to be closed in passing
through on account Of smoke and Gin
ders. Hills? Well we haven't any
hills in Michigan. Rocks composed
of sandstone, quartz and marble stone,
rising almost vertically into the air.
| can't see how they ever built the
road The track was so crooked that
| should have thought the engineers
would have become dizzy. ] was
afraid we would run into ourselves
sometimes when the cars that compos-
ed the t'ain were travelling in three
or four different directions at once.
Land Well dad can raise more on our
forty than they can raise on a thous-
and out here; and it is more than
can see how they plow up and down
those hills. which are so steep that
all the stones roll down into the val
ley. Rivers very swift, muddy and
numerous. Mules, negroes and buck
boards. and now and then a horse
then a lumber camp. mine, village,
hills, rocks and more hills, all covered
with grass and trees. Some scenery,
but would hate to live in those places.
We now retired in our various quar-
ters and positions, some sitting up,
some standing up and some lying
down with feet sticking out in the
aisle. We passed through Atlanta
about midnight, making short stop,
but most of US were so sleepy and
tired, and it was dark and raining
hard that we did not see anything of
the city. Then on to Camp Gordon,
where we were ordered to get our
luggage and leave the train. The
rain had nearly stopped but heavy
mist was falling. We wore our slick
ers and on stepping out found our
selves in salvey mud. The life of the
crowd had somewhat died away al
though there was great deal Of chat
terng among the boys that had been
separated during the trip. We had
made the trip in SO hours and II min
utes. That sure was a record breaker.
