Ships Must Have Wireless.

Every ocean 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 10 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 Il person
skilled in the use of such apparatus,
which apparatus is capable of trans
hitting and receiving messages over q
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 he in charge of two or more per-
sons skilled in the use of such appara-
tus, one or the other of whom shall be
on duty at all times while the vessel is
being nayigated." The provision for
two skilled operators was to cover the
possibility of one being overworked.

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 little mother, with
q sleeping baby in her arms, looked on
wistfully. There seemed no place to
lay the baby, and the other little girls
were far too 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 soft bed. and
the baby deposited therein. Gently it
rocked in its improvised cradle. Sleep
ing peacefully on-New York Times.

Something to Worry About.

AS if we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends,
the learned astronomers. who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses of his pOcketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some OF
them-believe the sun is going TO ex-
plOde. One OF them, writing in Popu-
lar Astronomy. points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets its finish as the leading figure
in any solar system. He finds that or
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side, thus giving its hot cen
ter 1S6,000,000 miles less of room. So
you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like
the three-rOOm-apartm couple when
visiting relatives begin their summer
vacation drives.-Syracuse Journal.

URGED HIGH TITLE
Many Would Have Had Washing
ton Addressed as Monarch.
Interesting Just Now to Recall How
Fond OF Hish-Sounding AppeIIa-
tions Were the Founders of
This Great Republic.

In view Of the widespread approval
"i the Chamberlain bill, making it pos
S.bie for our soldiers to wear medals
conferred by the French, Il is interest
ing to be reminded that. although the
constitution forbade all those in the
service of the United States to accent
titles. or decorations from foreign
rulers. Il strong party in our first sen
ate wished to bestow almost royal title
upon government officials.
| a serious debate arose over the
manEcr i'll which Washington should
be addressed, and on April 23. 1889
n committee was appointed to consider
the matter. Among the titles urged
were His HighneSS, the President Of
the United States of America and Pro
tector of the Rights OF the Same" His
Elective HighnesS," etc, and a cano-
pied throne was to be erected for his
| use In the senate. Numbers of that body
were TO be "TOur Highness of the
Senate" the sergeant at arms was TO
be rechrlstened the usher of the
Black Rod" and representatives your
HighneSS of the Lower House"
John Adams, we are told In the Jour
mai OF William Maclay, led the So
called "COurt party" which wished TO
borrow the forms of the British mon
archy for our infant government. His
most Jealous supporter was Richard
Henry Lee Of Virginia. Maclay ard
Robert Norris were the first senators
from Pennsylvania.
The matter rested until after the
formalitics of Washington's inaugura-
ton were settled. Under the first plan
the clergy could attend only as spec
tatOrS, but this was finally Overruled
on strong protest from the ministers
Of New York. An interesting sidelight
on the times is given by John Randolph
of Virginia, who as boy witnessed
the inauguration of Adams as vice
president.
The controversy over the titles came
10 head on May when the clerk of
the senate began to read the minutes.
Ills Most Gracious Speech" he said,
referring to WashingtOn's inaugural
address. Blank surprise showed in the
eyes of many Of the senator's. .Tcffcr-
son, the great champion of deiaccrac;.
WAS absent in Europe. Maciay rose TO
his feet.
"The words prefixed to the prcsi-
dents speech are tie same that ara
usually placed before the speech Of his |
Britannia majesty" he said. Il know |
they will give ofTcnse. I consider them |
improper. l therefore, move that they |
be struck out and that it stand si;a-
ply address or speech, as may be adj
Judged most suitable"
The report of the committee on titles |
was rejected May if by vote of 10 20
y, lHt in Il h:;if-hcartcd way. The rec
ord showed that for the present" the
subject would be dropped. but the
wording clearly indicated that titles
were favored.

Weird and wonderful are the mix

now that the government has decreed
that anything is tobacco that contains
not less than per cent of that weed.
The rest may be dried leaves of beech,
