The Wireless as a Trade
Weapon

81 N the reconstruction period follow
L ing the war the nations possessing
the best systems Of rapid electrical COM
munication with distant possessions or
distant markets will have a very great
advantage in their commerce and ma
tional development" declares a writer in
"The Americas" The article continues:
"On the other hand, to boycott 4 nation
by curtailing its electrical communications
would mean placing an almost insurmount-
able obstacle in the way of its foreign
trade. For instance, present day foreign
exchange is dependent very largely on the
use of the cable. 1t is through cable quo
tations that the prices of commodities on
the worlds markets are settled Whereas
dispatch sent by regular mail from the
United States or Europe to South America
requires normally the best part of twenty
days, cable wireless message requires
but twenty minutes for delivery.
"If the reconstruction after the war is
along clearly cut national or imperial
lines, the possession of strategic stations
for cables or wireless apparatus will rank
in Importance with the possession OF coal
ing stations. AS in the case of coaling
stations the foremost nation to-day in the
ownership of these islands and ports serv-
ing as cable wireless relay points is
England. English capital also controls the
majority of the great international trunk
lines of cable, having built up world
wide system during the sixty or more years
since the first international submarine
cable was laid. On the other hand, wire
less teleeraphy is of such recent develop
ment that world systems have not yet been
completed. England however, just before
the war, had actually under way plan
for an imperial wireless scheme to link
up the different parts of the British En-
pirc. Germany early recognized the i'm
portance of cable system independent of
British control to unite the scattered Ger
man colonies with the mother country, and
after twenty years of effort had at the
beginning of the war almost succeeded III
creating such a system BY the conquest
OF the German colonies England has now
undone this work. France was also striv-
ing during the years before the war TO
connect her colonies with herself by means
of French cables. but several gaps still!
remain in the French system. The United
States ranked second only to England in
the possession OF international cables

Hell's Livery

Is travesty on the Christian reli-
I gion for one to claim to be an heir
OF God while living an heir of Satan. What
right has one to say he is on his way to
heaven while travelling in the livery of
hell? 1t may be true that a man on
earth can. travel East and reach the
West. but man can't travel the hell
road and reach heaven at the end.-The

Iowa City, April 26.-The "children's
year. campaign, which is being
launched in this state is confidently
expected to save the lives Of over 1000
children in the next twelve months, &C
cording to DR.. f. f. Faris, head OF the
child welfare station at the state uni
versity, the man who has been ap-
pointed to direct this great enterprise.
The work will be done by the women's
committee of the council of national
defense, in cooperation w.>h the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs, the
parent teachers association, and the
mothers congress.
Seven thousand children die every
year in Iowa, says DR.. Fars and at
least one-third of these deaths are I'M
necessary and could be prevented by
basing the nutrition and care Of the in
fants on scientific principles. The first
aim of the great campaign just begin
ming will be to find cases in which
children are suffering from improper
foods or unhygienic care. acQuaint the
parents with the situation, and inform
them of the remedy. The success OF
the work will be measured by the de-
gree with which Iowa mothers COOP
crate in the work.
The first step in the crusade for the
better health of babies will be to get
the weight and height of every child
in the state under 5 years of age. There
is a very distinct relation between the
ratio of height and weight and the
health OF the cniC. Dr.. TaTi5 explains.
Frequent comparisons of these items
will reveal in a remarkably compre-
hensive manner the effects OF food sub
situations and food conservation upon
the states babies. For this work there
will be special stations in every COM
munity, with local representatives of
the womens committee of the council
Of defense in charge.
In the fall, after there has been suf
ficient time for the compilation and
study of the statistics as to height and
weight, conference on nutrition and
child welfare will be held at the uni
versity. Basing action upon the find
ings in this preliminary work, definite
and exten sive plans for the furtherance
Of the campaign will be arrived at
The richest fruits Of the campaign will
come after this conference has closed
and the plans which are made at that
time are put into practice.
