OUR BAY AND RIVER LIGHT
HOUSES MAY HAVE RADIO
TO GUIDE BOATS DURING F0GS AND
STORMS WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE
Is 0BSCURED.

Radio experts of the Bureau of
Standards, at Washington, have plan
ned to make an appeal to Congress
for an appropriation of 100000 for
the purpose of installing radio out
fits on Cape Henlopen, and other
lighthouses along the Delaware coast
and bay. These. it has been pointed
out, will overcome all the dangers to
vessels in fog. Messages by wireless
will be sent to ships in the fog, warn
ing them of danger. and the old sys-
TEN of booming the foghorn, which
has proved an annoyance, will be
eliminated.
1t has been made clear by experts
on the subject that the saving of one
ship would repay the government for
all the investment it will make over
future years, and in addition to in
suring safety, will be great time-sav-
er for vessels entering the Bay.
In the event of Congress approving
of this change, the lighthouses and
lightships along the Delaware Coast
will be equipped with an automatic
sending device which is constantly
ticking off its message in time of fog
or peril Ae receiving device would
doubtless be installed in all ships, and
when the message is caught the navi-
CATION officer needs only to watch the
device to determine whence the mes
sage comes. Then, by referring to a
compass, the location of the light
house is made known.
Scientists maintain that by means
of this instrument ships will never
again have to lie outside a harbor
awaiting the lifting of the fog, and
that it will insure safety in brightest
daylight as we'll as in times of fog.
All that is necessary is that ship
be kept on the course directed in the
wireless message. 1t has been stated
that the danger of collision at sea will
also be overcome.
The radio experts have not figured
the actual cost of installing the
equipage along the coast of the Bay,
but in their opinion 100000 will go
a long way in equipping all the light
houses and lightships.

STARTLING CONTRASTS

The amount of money spent for ed
ucation in the United States, compar-
ed with the amounts spent for vari-
Gus luxuries makes startling con-
trast. For the last fiscal year, accord
ing to figures made public by the Sec
retary OF the TIea surv, we spent for
Education -. S763, 200. 100000
Automobiles - twice as much
Tobacco . three times as much
Candy and soft drinks twice as much
Luxurious services 4 times as much
Luxurious foods--six times as much
as for education.
Making, with othe- luxuries, thirty
times as much for luxuries as for ed
ucs gicn
What of it? What shall we do
about it? Shall we continue to ne
glect our children in the disgraceiul
way? Can we have an enlightened,
self-goverRing land of freedom with
no more education than we can buy
for one-third of our yearly tobacco
bill?

REASONS FOR FRIGHTENING
UP ON BUSINESS

Optimism as to the business outlook
is steadily gaining headway and it is
now becoming more and more evident
that the end of the present era of pes
simism and trade depression is clos
er at hand, says the Dry Goods Econ
omist
When such men as Morgan and du
Pont invest many millions in the au
tomobile industry despite the depres-
sion in that industry; when Judge
Gary, head of the United States Steel
Corporation voices optimism, and
when other prominent men in the fl
nancial world are vigorously backing
their faith in the future of the ma
tion's industries, it should not be diff
ficult for thinking men to sense the
change that has set in.
The era of over-expansion and spec
ulation which followed the Armistice
could not last. Liquidation had to
come-to be faced. The country's in
dustries as a whole must be put on
a sound basis.
Values that are still inflated must
be Debated in order that production
and demand may again be on basis
that will insure due activity in textile
and other industries.

Highway Trailer Curtails Force.

What took place in the factories at
GAINESVILLE, Beloit, Stoughton, and in
fact, what is reported TO take place
throughout most industries all over the
country, is taking place in the High
way Trailer company here-men are
laid off. Quite number were dis
missed last Saturday. Most of them
were workmen in the different branches
of the factory. The slow-up in de-
mand in practically all lines of indus
try, due to the tighter money situation,
has been expected, but it is thought
that these conditions are only tempo
rary, and that resumption of activity
is inevitable, especially in all lines pro-
ducing staple goods needed in the car
rying forward of legitimate business.
An adjustment downward of wages to
harmonic with the downward move of
prices Of commodities is predicted by
students of the general financial and
market conditions. The high wages
may not have been out of proportion to
the cost of1iving, but the efficiency of
labor has not increased. Labor effic-
iency and the tempo of production have
not kept pace with the cost of produc-
ton; it has Jagged behind, is the COM
plant. In the Edgerton industries men
with families to support have been
given consideration. The Trailer is
getting new orders right along, but the
management believes that this is the
time to handle the output at the lowest
possible cost consistent with a reason
able promptness of delivery of the
goods to the consumer. One of the
managers said that somewhat of re-
organization of the labor force was de-
sirable just now, anyway, as the new
building is being taken into use.

Park Plans Discussed.

The city park board, the members of
which are Clouden Farman, Pres, Geo.
Blanchard, Sec, Thos. Earle, J. o.
Arthur, together with the city en-
gineer, Mr.. Reichardt, Mayor Leary
also being present, met at The Carlton
last Friday afternoon to go over in
general way the plans to be developed
for the ground set aside for the City
park. Miss Mildred Wright, landscape
architect from Milwaukee, was here to
see the property, offer counsel, and on
the basis of information obtained, sub
NIT sketches suggesting how the land
scape may be treated. These matters
were gone into by the board. The
drainage problem was discussed. Miss
Wright thought that the Strengthening
of the creek by canal would make eff
ficient drainage, and the canal could be
so built as to fall into the natural
scheme of the landscape. 1t was also
thought best to develop only the part
of the park which is situated on the
south side of the creek to begin with,
and then carry out the whole plan as
the funds would permit. The idea is to
make of this portion, not a formal gar
den needing a lot of care, but to put in
walks, plant shrubs and trees and start
the lawns. Miss Wright offered to fur
nish number Of sketches free of charge;
then the board may make its selection.
The sketch chosen would then be drawn
80 as to include changes which the
board might deem desirable. The arch
itect would then submit the figures of
the cost of the plans decided upon.
