Wireless Phones For All
 By GugielmO Marconi
 (Inventor of Wireless TeIegraphv)

It is simply ridiculous to adopt the attitude that the limit of knowI- edge has been reached. We are only just beginning to find out a few of the simpler secrets which Nature has so jealously guarded throughout the ages.
 We are only just beginning to know anything about our own planet, and the investigations of a million years to come will not exhaust the subject. It is vast enough to oc- cupy the human mind for ever; and the more that is discovered, the more there will be to find out. We can fly now-practically, for any distance. We can send messages through the air without the aid of wires, and are able to talk in the same way to peo- pie who are thousands of miles away. No connecting links are necessary. The foundation of still stranger dis coveries are being made and truly laid; whoever the builders may be. Indeed, we live in an age of won ders.
 Endless Possibilities.
 The developments which have been made in wireless during the last few years destroy ones belief In the boun- dary of possibilities. Even to me, they seem romantic and strange-or they would seem so, did I not know the scientific principles involved-and I can quite understand that the un- initiated must regard the develop ments which are taking place in wireless communication as something bordering upon the supernatural. I think I may say that people will cease to wonder at it. The only won
 
 time when it was unknown.
 SuppIanting the Phone Exchange.
 There is no reason why, when in stalfations become general, a private message should not be sent exclusive ly to one individual-even in the heart of a huge city like London. All that is required is the adoption of q simple and distinctive method of at tuning each instrument-in wireless work, this tunning will take the place of the number and the exchange will be in the existing telephone sys- tenn
 For military purposes, a field ap- paratus which is very mobile has been successfully tried-and it has been used during the war. Spies have also used wireless instruments which are very smau-but I have not heard of any private individuals who have done this. Those people who want a sort of waistcoat-pocket transmitter and receiver combined must wait, but I may add that a portable apparatus for covering short distances is a pos sib1e development of the near flu ture.
 But whatever developments may take place, the radiated message which is sent out broadcast in all di- rections-wiu still have it's uses. This is. and will always be. the case in the event of disaster at sea. The ship which is nearest to the scene of the catastrophe can hasten to the help of those in peril; and so lives will be saved which would otherwise be lost. Many a time has this happened al-

Abe Lincoln was a farmer good, who did th' chores and chopped th' wood; he>spaded up tn garden spot, and planted seeds when sun was hot. He learned tn lesson there O thrift, and though he wasn't very swift, he plodded on from day to day, and made his little garden pay. We all admire old Honest Abe, who started life with hoe and spade, and made th' character, b gee, that helped him mold our destiny. No greater bur dens e'er were borne, than his when this old land was torn, by shot and shell and civil strife that gripped tn nations very life. But through it all he led tn way, determined that tn right should sway, tn minds O men till all should see, tn negro set from slavery free. His sterling wealth O heart and soul. our press and pulpit oft extol, and in tn schools our chil- dren sing, tn praises of our un- crowned king. As days and years shall come and go with summer heat and winter snow, they'll find us ever prone to tell, of him who served his country we'll .g And generations yet to come. will chant tn praise as we have done and tell O this mans magic charm, who started on tn humble farm.

K. OF [. WILL PAY SOLDIERS
 TO FIND JOBS

The Knights of Columbus are mak- ing an innovation in job-fnding. Hav ing found over 10000 jobs for ex- service men with the unemployment situation still far from relieved, the Knights are going to C. pitalize the vim and resourcefulness acquired by the men who have served in the army, navy and marines by selecting 100 discharged service men to find jobs for the other service men.
 These one hundred eX-service men will all be placed on the K. of c. pay roll. Each will receive $4 per day while hunting jobs for his comrades, and should the hunter run to earth job he likes he will be free to keep it., and his place in the battalion of job hunters will be filled by another re- cruit selected by the Knights.
 The Knights are going to put this plan into effect so that the service men may be given an opportunity to present their arguments at first-hand to employers. The men will visit all large concerns industrial plants, business offices, etc., in a flying at tack for jobs. and if their effort proves successful in locating jobs for a large number of men in New York they will be given an opportunity to try their experience in other large cities.
 Peter W. Collins, late government industrial expert, who has been ap- pointed director general of K. of c. employment and reconstruction work will have charge of the chosen one hundred The Knights have met with unusual success in their job-f1nding work, and the new departure is made to round up every available job for discharged service men.

Higgins, the local grocer, employed a dense youth whom he caught steal ing an apple.
 If I catch you doing that again. p he yelled, "TH give you a weeks mo- tice!"
 Some days later he caught the boy again, and this time he had taken four apples.
 Didn't I tell you I'd give you a weeks notice if caught you stealing again ?" said Higgins.

Catholic Church Notes
 Of Local Interest
(Contrtbuted by p. J. Brennan.)

The fiftieth anniversary of the dedication of St. Augustine's church vln occur on June IS. next.
 The stone of which the church is built was from a quarry owned by the pastor, the late Rev. T. J. syn mott.
 Father synnott offered Rev. Nr. Maxey enough of this stone to build his new church but the offer was declined as MT Maxey believed that the stone would turn black in a short time.
 The condition of St. Augustine's s at the present time shows that Mr. Maxey's fears were unfounded
 Some years afterwards when Rev J. F. Rogers, pastor of St. Mary's, returned from a trip to Europe he held a reception at the rectory at which both Father Synnott and Rev. MT Maxey were present together with many other priests and min isters of the city where Father Syn nott's toast, Heres to the s:ones which did not turn black in the church caused considerable amuse- ment among the party.
 It was originally intended that St Mary's church would be built on the corner of East Washington avenue and Kossuth street, but the mem bers of a nearby church objected and said There are stone yards enough around the park"
 The site was not built upon for thirty-fve years afterwards when dwelling housese were erected. The Polish National church on California street is omitted from the city directory, but it is there just the same. and the services are large ly attended.
 The priests residence is the first house east of the church The fol- lowing is on the corner stone: KOS CIOL? POIJSKO, NARODOWY PODWEz?. s. W. JOZEA-18- LIPCA 1909.
 The old fashioned Sunday school picnics years ago were looked for ward to with anticipations of plea sure and refreshments. The chil- dren would assemble at the church after mass, and headed by the priests they would march to Pem- broke or Houghs grove and spend the day in heaIthfuI, harmless and exciting sports, jumping, running, etc. The priests encourag ged the youngsters to do their best in all the games, for their future develop ment and strength and donated cash prizes to the successful winners. The mothers of the children would be in attendance during the day and in the afternoon the fath- CTS would come and witness the con- tests and encourage their sons to victory.
