Judge w. b. Sorrells acted as first

his activities in the various war

spoke briefly of the great ideals of the
American soldier in the war, and said
that their achievement in time of war
was but little compared to what their
achievement should be with the re-
turn of peace. He said wonders could
be accomplished by the banding to-
gether of the men Of the service, but
emphasized the extreme danger should
the organization become merely po-
ltical in its aspect.

an election of temporary officers was
held which resulted in Sam Levine
and Leslie Mcintyre being elected
temporary president and secretary

It appears that It is not infrequent-

Transmitting electric waves certain
men of science suggested that some

Hertz laughed at the hypothesis and

Commanding the native force at Tien-
tsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, a Mongol gen.
eral, who later distinguished himself
less creditably. In 1860 he sought to
defend Tientsin against foreign ex-
pedition by erecting an immense mud
rampant outside the city. Tientsin
was captured and held for two years
by the British and French and the
crude defense is known in the foreign
quarters as "Seng- folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chi-chou, under the Hsia dyn-
asty, whose rulers, 1000 years ago.

could predict eclipses. Later it was

to the fourteenth century.
Immense Salt Industry.
The salt industry In the neighbor-
hood of Tientsin Is prodiglous. Wind
mills are used to pump salt water into
the fields along the Halo river, where
the widely-known Chang-lu salt is
made. Before the war nearly 10000
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially in
many respects. 1t Is rice market,
and Siberia's tea formerly was shipped
through here. Exports we're as varied
as the needs of the dozen or so nations
which had separate settlements along
five miles of the river front, and its
imports were as diverse as the COM
modlies those nations had to ex-
change.
The Peiho and Hunho rivers com
verge at Tientsin. From the latter to
the Yangtsze-Kiang extends the Grand
canal, that remarkable specimen Of
ancient engineering, mentioned by Con-
fucius, which originally was more than

Tientsin has more people than Bos-
ton. 1t is the principal city of Chih-
H. and is Sc miles southeast Of Peking

Only one Foundation.

Men best prove their right to rights
by making good in little things. Rights
are those things that grow out Of uni
versal justice. In the last analysis
they are beyond price. Some folks
say they have bought the right to
certain things. That Is only because
custom has commercialized them. Such
rights SAVIOR of monopoly and are a.
unstable as the dollars with which
they are purchased. Right that rests
upon divine law may seem very tame,
but after all it's the only right that

OF the United States into the war, the
problem OF alrplane radio development
had received attention from the army.
In August, 1910, the first wireless

OF the airplane radio was carried on
through n series OF accomplishments.
These may be summed as follows;
