This is Told of Jack johnson.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
According to reports, which are
neither questioned nor denied by the
United States secret service, Jack
johnson deliberately sacrificed deal
by which he could have made $1,000
O0e in order to demonstrate to the
American government that he was
patriotic.
In the late war Spain was con-
sidered neutral country, but while
Jack was there he found that many
of the Spaniards were pro Germans.
He also found Hun agents and secret
service men and had an excellent
opportunity to have maintained con-
nection with the German govern
ment which would have paid him
b handsomely.
While there are men of JOhnson's
race that are loyal citizens of the
United States who. without cause,
are burned at the stake, lynched,

As to people saying few idle words about
US, we must not mind that, any more than
the old church steeple minds the rocks cav
ing about it.-George Eliot.

Why be worried about few debts when a
survey of the world shows a condition that
might stagger the mind if it had not been we'll
trained for six years? The principal countries
involved in the war owe two hundred and forty
one billion dollars, whereas in 1914 they owed
only twenty-eight and one-half billions The
debt of the United States is twenty-five billions
and that of Great Britain about forty billions,
with France owing forty-sx. Experts are be-
ginning to calculate that debts will be paid back
by the minor nations at not more than fifty cents
on the dollar

AMPLIFIED SOUND.

An apparatus just perfected magnlfes the
human voice a million times, and in a recent ex-
pertinent people aboard. an ocean liner pulling
out from pier head at New York City heard a
big, booming voice seeming to come from the
air above which called On passengers by name
and bade them goodbye and bon voyage. Yet
the voice came from a building blocks away,
and as it went into the loud-speaking transmit
ter was that Of a man who spoke in a converse
tional tone.
The aneients never heard human voice Of
such surprising power, yet the idea of such
voices was familiar to them. We read Of a voice
like that of a multitude; and Plutarch tells how
the pilot Thamus while sailing near the isle of
Paxi heard mighty voice which filled the en-
pyrean commanding him to proclaim that the
great god Pan was dead As this. according
to the narrative, was about the time of the
crucifxion it was held by some to herald the
end of the old world and the beginning of the
new.
The application of sound is triumph Of
science though of questionable value, since the
world is fuller now of raucous noises than we
sometimes think it should be. We are said to
be getting on track also of method by which
vibrations which convey the sense of color may
be ''stepped down. as the phrase is, into the
which give us sound; and so may
hope in time to hear the superb chord made by
a parti-colored flower or the orchestration of Il
sunset sky, 1t seems a little singular however,
that vibration in other octaves cannot be mag
nifed. If we could find some way of making
more heat of a little heat more light of little
light, more force current of a small force cur
rent as we can now make thunderous sound of
a little sound the problems of industrial and do
nestle life would be lighter than they are

League, 2007 Columbia road. yesterday
was addressed by DR.. Tom A. Will
liams. He spoke on the practice and

ment for nervous cases in France re-
sulting from the war. He said that
the amount spent by Germany in pen
sions exceeded the total sum spent for
organization.
DR.. Williams in speaking of the sue
cess of the treatment urged it's con-
tinuance in peace times, declaring
that it would be a valuable aid to in
dustry. He quoted statistics show ing
that not only could men be quickly
cured of nervous trouble resulting

they could be made ready in a short
time to return to their work.

will be presented at the Chicago
convention will be passed. A uues-
tionaire is being sent to the thirty
five tuberculosis organizations locat-
ed in New Jersey in which sugges-
tions and criticisms are sought, in
order that these may be acted upon
at the executive meeting and put
into shape as convention material.
w. l.. Kinkead, president of the New
Jersey tuberculosis League, will
preside AT the luncheon. Inasmuch
as the Christmas seal sale, with
what success it met in different parts
of the country, and what should be
done to make next years sales more
successful, will be one of the big
features of the Chicago meeting. 1t
is hoped that all returns by individ-
uals and organizations will have
been made prior TO the executive
meeting. in order that it might be
ascertained exactly how New Jersey
stands in the seal sales before the
Chicago convention. Last year New
Jersey vas twentieth on the list with
four seals per capita. New Hamp-
shire stood first, with fourteen. 1t
is hoped that New Jersey may be
able to report its quota of ten seals
per capita as sought in the present
campaign. This will make it higher
on the list.
An idustrial program will likewise
he a bag feature of the discussion.
New Jersey will be especially inter-
ested in this phase of the program
since much information may he
gained which might be put to use
in the museum program in which
the league has been asked to CO.
operate in connection with the in
dustrial exhibit of the Museum of
Safety held in Jersey City. What
New Jersey is doing to provide "a
travelling consultation clinic, and
how much progress has been made
in the latest development of nutri-
ton classes will also be among
some of the important topics taken
up at the convention.
A feature of general interest to
be discussed will be the 1921 an
nual meeting of the National Tuber-
culosis Association. which will be
held in New York. June 10 to June
II, In the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria.
In line with the general discussion
