Ships Must Have Wireless.

Every socean steamer that leaves an
American port is required by law to
have wireless telegraph apparatus and
operators, An act of congress, passed
in 1910, made it unlawful for any
ocean-going steamer carrying passen-
gers to leave or attempt to leave any
port of the United States without be-
ing equipped with an efficient appa-
ratus for radio communication, In good
working order, in charge of a person
skilled in the S of such apparatus,
which apparatus is capable of trans
hitting and receiving messages over a
distance of at least one hundred miles,
night or day. After the Titanic dis
aster, in 1912, this act was amended
by providing that "the radio equipment
must be In charge of two or more per-
SON skilled in the use of such appara-
tus, n or the other of whom shall be
OF duty at all times while the vessel is
being navigated." The provision for
two skilled operators was to cover the
possibility Of one being OyerwOrked.

Always a Way.

Some small girls were skipping rope
on an East side street yesterday after
noon. The children skipped and twist
ed in turn, while q little mother, with
a sleeping baby in her arms, looked on
wistfully. There seemed no place to
lay the baby, and the other little girls
were far toe thrilled to think of offer
ing to relieve her to her charge while
she tried her prowess.' Finally she
could stand it no longer. Casting
around in desperation she spied one
of the iron barrels provided by the city
for refuse paper, and thereby solved
her problem. Quickly the barrel was
turned on its side, the papers pulled
toward the top to make a soft bed, and
the baby deposited therein. Gently it
rocked In it's improvised cradle, Sleep
ing peacefully on.-New York Times.

Cautious Galveston.

Many persons remember the destruc-
ton of Galveston by a West Indian
hurricane which blew SO hard it forced
the sea up into the streets of the city
and thousands of lives were lost. AS
a protection against a similar disaster.
the city built a great sea wall. This
year it has BEGUN nearly two miles
more of sea wall (which will take near
" two years to complete and which
will cost 100000. After the great
storm of 1900, the citizens raised the
site of the city 17h feet by pumping
millions of tons of sand from the gulf
Galveston has taxed itself for all these
colossal observation-disclosures.

her BOY" A GIFT
Supreme Sacrifice for Country
Made Willingly.
Spirit of American Women Manifested
in Statement of One Who Had Been
Called On to Give Up All
She Had.

It was in a Red Cross workroom
Somewhere in New York City. The
Limelight woman moved around among
the workers and talked necessarily.
sMy boy has gone to France" she
said .~mournfully. 81 can't get recon

mother to devote years to the raising
of a boy only to have him snatched
away in the twinkling of an eye. l am

She wiped away some tears and
slowly rolled q bandage.

have no sons to preach these high
ideals" answered Mrs. South in SYM
pathy. 81 am really not dependent
upon my son, but if l car keep him
from going by putting in that claim, L

Sawyer?"
A frail little woman in a chair by the
window looked UP from her work with
| glowing eyes.
"My boy is in France, and / am glad
of it," she said simply.
"Your boy?" came in voices in uni
son.
"Yes, my boy. My sister died when
Jack was two weeks old, and | have
had him ever since. He was such a
dear little fellow, such a dependable
boy as he grew older, and such q COM

fight to make both ends meet / said,
Nonsense, the fight never hurt me.

There was silence in the workroom.
The Limelight woman was staring
straight ahead of her. Mrs. South hesi-
tated for a moment, then leaned for

steadily.
"Thank you," was all she said.
