u: S. Boys Best
Wireless Operators

Boys of the United States make the
best wireless telegraph operators in
the world. In no other country be-
sides does the average boy know so
much about wireless or take so keen
an interest in it. Before the war the
United States contained 175,OO0 wire
less stations, large and small, scatter
ed throughout every section of the
land. The most of these were anna
teur wireless stations built and oper-
ated entirely by boys. No country in
Europe has anything like as many sta
tions.
During the war it became neces-
sary for the Government to close most
of these wireless stations and regu-
late the others very rigidly to pre-
vent any enemy using them for his
own ends Government has removed
these restrictions, and any American
boy is free once more to equip anc
operate a station of his own. The in
terest in wireless telegraphy is reviv
ing by leaps and bounds and in {
short time we will see more wireless:
stations in operation than ever before
It will be the purpose of this article
to encourage the interest of boys il

practical assistance each month";

NEW ROAD BILL
TO BE PROPOSED
Walter Pate Drafts The New Measure
Eliminating Objectionable Features
OF The Defeated Bills.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 28-Special
In keeping with his declared inten-
tion on Thursday afternoon, after the
Roberts highway bill had been indefi-
nitely postponed, which meant the oui-
etus for good on that famous meas
ure, along with the Pate House bill
Representative Walter Pate, sure en-
ough, yesterday had drafted and ready
his substitute bill. Like the two de-
funct measures, this Pate bill No.
contains a $25,00O,OOO bond issue pro-
vision, but in connection therewith
quite a number of obnoxious sections
are eliminated.
Immediately following the defeat of
the Roberts measure, Mr.. Pate called
on his colleagues to come to the res
cue with practical suggestions, and
do our best to help pull Mississippi
out of the mud" This new bill was
at once referred to the committee on
roads ferries and bridges.
Speaking further, Representative
Pate declared:
eff it is necessary to accept finally
the suggestion of the gentleman from
Washington (Mr. Stone) that this sub
ject be left fer consideration during
recess, so that we can get a suitable
and acceptable bill, l am willing te
work for the next two years in order
to accomplish the deseired ends"

Seek Good Turn
Opportunities

eve don't always have to seek the
opportunity Of doing a good turn"
writes Lieut.. Belvin w. Maynard, the
"Flying Parson,' in his article "The
Thrill of High Adventure" which ap-
pears in the February Boys Life.
Sometimes the opportunity comes and
lands right in our back yard. We on
vi have to be ready to act the part
Of real scout when the opportunity
comes. 1t is easy to see how much
must have appreciated these kind
nesses which meant victory to me; and
let US remember that our good turns
will be appreciated and may mean vic
tory to some one else.
"We must be ready not only to do
good turn when the opportunity
comes to US or when it comes into our
pathway but we should seek the op-
portunity. There is where the real
happiness comes. Let US not wait for
! the opportunity to land on US, but let
US land on the opportunity.
"There are SO many ways to do a
| good turn that we should not be sat
isfied with one day. Some of them
might not involve much self sacrifice
but still not to do them, however
small, would be unworthy. Did you
ever see fellows hat blow off and &c
rolling down the street passing by
many who would not stoop to pick
it up for him? Did you ever watch a
| woman standing in the aisle of q
street-car holding baby in her arms
when there were many men seated
Did you ever watch a woman with
small children and luggage try te
board train unaided? Did you eve'
walk along a lonely road and have
car after car pass you without pick
ing you up? Did you ever pass ar
elderly woman on the sidewalk, whose
very image was picture of want ane
misery, carrying more luggage thar
! q man ought to carry!"

WHEN H0ARDER
AND PROFIFEER
See Great Production In Sight They
Will Get From Under High Prices,
Declares Baruch.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90 Special
Bernard M. Baruch told House war
Investigating committee yesterday
that except for government fixing of
raw material prices during the year,
only the shame of producers would
have limited their rise and that the
morale Of the nation would have bro
ken under the riot Of greed.
In the cource OF a five-hour exam
nation, Mr.. Baruch gave a first hand
account of his services as chairman
of the war industries board and as a
member of the council of national de-
mission at the peace conference
Throughout the long ordeal, with
Chairman Graham trying to fathon
his relations with the president and
his association with "Wall Street in
terests," Mr. .Baruch never lost his
temper or his smile.
Out of his experience with indus
trial problems, Mr.. Baruch offered the
comforting hope that top production
soon would come, with a resultant fall
in prices. But there would be the ut
most decentralization today, he conten-
ded, had the government failed te
hold and fix prices in wild scramble
of world buying.
"When the hoarder and profiteel
see great production in sight-and
they will be the first to see it-they
will get from under," he declared.

ARMY
IN BRITISH ISLES
Working In Cooperation With The
Government Is Promoting Emil
grafton of Women
Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 28-The Saliva
tion Army in the British Isles, work
ing in cooperation with the govern
ment is promoting emigration of the
approximately 1,25O,0OO women in ex-
cess of the male population there,
Commissioner David C. Lamb, London
foreign secretary of the Army on a
mission to the United States, has an
nounced here.
Spinsterhood or emigration is the
fate of these women, the commission
er asserted, adding:
eve offer no opology for active
propaganda. designed to procure a
better distribution of the sexes. There
are a million and quarter more wo-
men than men in the British Isles to-
day, and one of the biggest after the
war tasks assigned the Salvation Ar
my in Britain is to stimulate female
emigration and direct it to those col
onies in the British Empire such as
western Canada and portions of At
RIGA and Australia where there are
more male than female inhabitants
The prospect of placing female dom
estics in the United States has not
been overlooked.
"The Salvation Army has despatch
ed recently several shiploads of emf
grants to Canada already. We help
them make arrangements to leave the
old country, provide transportation
when necessary and through our
world wide organization see to it that
the emigrants are safely settled in the
new land.
"Our records show that of the girls
who emigrated some years ago to GER
tain sections where women were in
the minority 60 per cent were mar
ried within three years of their ar
rival This fact and the opportuni-
ties for work at good wages in other
lands are not without significance to
the tens of thousands of thoughtful
and enterprising women in the British
Isles"
Other after the war conditions ir
the British Isles included the virtua
disappearance of the vagrant, and the
shortage of agricultural labor due ir
part to the wartime cultivation Of
more than 100000 acres of grass
land, Commissioner Lamb said.
The success or failure of "local op
ton" in Scotland will furnish q "gooe
indication" on the prospects for pro
hibition in the Isles, he said, adding
that the probabilities are that thu
public houses will go in many part'
of Scotland.
"In Great Britain as whole, how
ever, the tendency is toward restruc
ton on the sale of liquor in publi'
houses-corresponding to the Amer
/ ican saloons-and continuation of linn
itation as to hours. This makes TO
