O"'
BALTIMORE, Jan. 3O-Dr. Joseph S.
Ames, professor of physics and director
Of the physical laboratory, thinks the
nformation thus far made public b.
Guglielmo Marconi on certain wireless
phenomena he observed is insufficient
to provide basis for scientific dis
cussion. He said to-day:
NO scientist should be asked TO en-
press an opinion on Signor Marconi's
suggestion that certain wireless phe-
nomena indicate that another plnet is
trying to communicate with the earth
until 5 gnor Marconi has very definitely
described what he has Observed"
Slghor Marconi has said these signals
may come from Mars.
Agrees With DR.. Abbott
"The only opinion which scientific
man should be asked to give at this
time DR.. Amcs continued. "is that
expressed by DR.. Abbott director Of
the astro- physical laboratory Of the
Smithsonian Institution. DR.. Abbott is
a very capable scientist. He saws

Called Absolutely Scandalous

FLORENCE. Jan. 30.-Fathcr Alfani
director of the Ximenan Observatory
IN this city, to-day said that TO spread
rumors relative to interchange of mes
sages between planets was "absolutely
scandalous"
"What has been observed at wireless
stations at London and New York" he
declared, "has been caused by atmos-
pheric discharges, which have always
lnterfcrcd with radio communication !"
He added that William Marconi, in
ventor of the wireless telegraph sys-
TEN, should "sue for libel" the man
who interviewed him recently and
quoted him as believing that faint sig
mails picked up by wireless stations
might come from some sources outside
the earth.

BAZAAR GIVES +.
WOUNDED $4,000
Nine. Jusserand Guest of
Honor at Exhibition
Yesterday.

Nine. Jules Jusserand. wife of the
Ambassador of France. was the
guest of honor yesterday at the
bazaar and exhibition of the occu-
pational therapy work of the
wounded and sick soldiers, sailors
and Marines at Walter Reed, st.
Elizabeth's and the Public Health
Service Hospitals, which is being
conducted at the District Red Cross
Chapter House, 16 jackson Place.
More than $1,000 have thus far
been raised for the benefit of the
boys and the reconstruction depart
ments. each of which receive so per
cent of the proceeds. So great have
been the crowds that the sale will
be continued tomorrow afternoon
and evening.
Nine. Jusserand's carriage seemed
strangely out of place among the
many fashionable limousines that
were continually bringing and TAX
ing away the guests. The turnout
had admirers among the dowagers,
though, many Of whom were heard
to express their regret that the day
Of the horse had passed.
Nine. Jusserand spent almost an
hour among the various exhibits
and made many purchases and left
several orders. She was particu-
larly Interested in the fancy basket
weaving of the St. Elizabeth's pa
tients. Mrs. Archibald o. Powell,
of the chapter, escorted her through
the rooms, in each of which she was
warmly greeted by her many
friends.
Among the other well known pa
irons of the bazaar present yester-
day were Mrs. w. J. Boardman, Mrs.
Montgomery Blair, Mrs. Henry c.
Corbin, Mrs. Miles Poindexter. Mrs.
Thomas H. Carter. Mrs. Maury
Crane, Mrs. F. w. Denys, Mrs. w. A.
White. Mrs. William c. Gorgas, wife
of the former surgeon general: Mrs.
Seaton Schroeder. Mrs Charles d.
Carter, Mrs. Eldridge E, Jordan.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman. Miss Pat
ton, Miss Dorothy Denys. Miss Gwen
dClyn Deays and Miss Louise King.
The ladies of the Red Cross COM
forts section, under Miss Ida NJ. Gal
loway, acted as hostesses, and their
smart uniform added to the bril-
liancy of the display.

er proudly told Of one of her VIC
Tins who last year had given SO
and this year had made IL $t00.
Perhaps the mosr appealing story
was CT an ex-soldier who came into
the buiIding-not waiting for tho
drive to seek him out--a rather
badly battered man, who had beer
painfully wounded and most unfor-
tunately disfigured "over there" He
is out of the service now. Uncle
Sam and the doctors had done all
they could for him. and he was fac
ing life with a brave heart and a
sadly marred visage. He had start
ed a little store of his own. and
was getting along "as well as could
be expected" He said that while
he couldn't duplicate the big mer-
chants $1,000 subscription. he want
ed to do something-because he
knew how much the Y. w. c. A.
had done for the boys "over there" /"

phantom-an ever-changfng indi-
viduaI. whom the operations OF
the Stock Exchange create or un-
create.
Vast Capital Employed.
This is because business under
takings are growing too big for
the private owner. their capital be-
ing measured by millions. and
their operations conducted on a
scale beyond the means OF one or
even of a small group of indi-
viduals.
That is why the opportunities for
big men of affairs are SO plentiful.
Under the new system the econo-
mic, scientific and administrative
sides of business are being infinite
ly more highly developed than ever
before.
The small business simply could
not do 1t. But I am afraid that
we are now travelling along lines
of business development at a much
greater pace than the education
and training of the men who must
carry it on.
This has been the main difficulty
in recent years; 1t is the chief diff
ficulty. We look in vain for an
adequate supply of big men to
handle the big businesses and the
big commercial and Industrial prob
lens. The business world looks to
no particular class for these men
the road to success is not a path
for privileged travellers.
Success Open to All.
1t is open to all. The right men
will find it. But. as / say, the
training of these men is not keep
ing pace with business develop
ments.
! think the practise in many I'M
dertakings of putting a man into
a particular post. and keeping him
there. is carried to extremes. 1t
hampers and restricts a good man,
narrows his outlook, and makes
him. in small way. an expert" :"
In the training of men they
ought to get greater variety of
experience. The psychology of the
individual should be studied. and
his capacity tested in various df-
rections. There ought to be more
elasticity.
Experts Vista Limited.
1t is often said that this is the
day Of the expert, but in the busi-
ness world the vista of the expert
Is very limited. By being So
called expert you confine your
ideas to one job. whereas the big
men now wanted. are those of broad
views. general experience, and
large grip of affairs.
No doubt the< need will produce
the men. We know what happen
ed during the war-men formerly
leading obscure lives in obscure
posts suddenly leaped into COM
manding positions, leaders of men,
because they saw the instant need
of action, of initiative. and of clear
brains. took the plunge boldly and
won through.
But the big business man must
have training II he is to win, he
must understand his job. be able
to explore it through and through.
and take the big risks Of the game.

who seeks adventure in business.
That Is his world of discovery.

LONC-LIFE PARROTS
FOUND ONLY IN MYTH

Captain Kidd,s parrot and other
historic birds supposed TO be still at
large upon this sphere must long
since have winged their way TO the
spirit world, according TO the agents
Of the Federal Inheritance Tax Bu-
reau of New JERSEY.
The conclusion reached by the
specialist attached to the bureau
that the great age Of parrots is en-
tirely mythical Is based on re-
searches recently made In the case
of q New Jersey parrot which re-
ceived from its late owner a trust
estate valued at $500. The parrot
was to receive the income for life.
amounting to $3.50 to 81 a week, a
sum sufficient to provide even a
greedy bird with banquets of seeds
and cuttlefish-
The question of the inheritance
tax then came up, and as Polly's in
come was a lien on the estate II was
necessary to ascertain the average
life Of a parrot so that just allow
ance might be made for this lien
when the tax was LEVIED.
The tax bureau agents, like every
one else, were Of the opinion that
parrots endure for centuries and
supposed that the income would
have to be paid up to the second
and third generation
But research developed the fact
that great age of parrots is unsound
tradition. Few parrots live beyond
the age Of a hundred. and their av-
erage age Is little beyond the three
score and ten allotment of man, ac-
cordfng to the computation OF the
