GREAT FUTURE FOR WIRELESS
Boys Who Plan to Make It Their Life
Work Should Know and Appre-
ciate Its Value.

Before going into practice instruc-
tion II is important that the boys who
are to become the wirless men of the
future should appreciate the value
of such work. Wireless transmission of
messages and of the human voice is
becoming daily more common. In
few years the entire system of com
municntion throughout the world may
be transformed by wireless electrici-
ty. and II is important that boys
should be able TO take their part In II.
The amateur wireless station Is great
educator and gives the boys who
equip and operate 1t an excellent ed
ucatlon In the wonderful new science.
When the call came for wireless men
for the great war the amateur OPP
orators were able to take prominent
part. Thousands of boys who had
taught themselves how to build sta
tions and run them were able to take
important positions In wireless sta
tions at sea and on shore. No other
country had so vast an army of self
taught wireless operators to call on.
Many OF the boys who had taught
themselves all they knew OF the sci
ence rose to occupy important posi-
tions. 1t is not generally known that
1t was an amateur wireless man who
was chosen to fly across the Atlantic
on the NC-4 on her famous flight.-

ALL WENT INTO THE BILL
Moroccan Ruler Found in the End
That He Paid for His
Hours Of Bridge.

How the sultan of Morocco. Mulai
Hnfid, played bridge with his dentist
has been amusedly told.
A close friendship sprang up be-
tween the sultan and an English
dentist, and as often as not, bridge
took the place of dentistry. The
dentist would arrive with his timid
lady assistant. and all his implements
Of torture, only to be invited to sit
down at the table and play cards. The
lady-asslstant was very young and
very shy. and was more accustomed to
play children's card game. than
bridge. A fourth player would be
found and the ill-assorted party COM
pleted. The ex-sultan enjoyed himself
immensely. He generally won, per-
haps by never permitting the trembling
lady assistant to be his partner. The
points were one franc hundred, so
no very serious damage could be done;
but rich as the sultan was. he re-
joiced more in his humble winnings at
bridge than over his many thousands
in the banks. Not little of his en-
joyment was owing to the fact that he
felt that he was doing" the dentist.
HE comes" the ex-sultun would say,
ito mend my teeth and to take my
gold, and In the end | win his francs"
But one day the climax came. The
teeth We're excellently repaired-the
work was OF the best-there was no
more to be done but to pay the bill
and the bill very naturally and rightly
included all the bridge hours, at so
much per hour. II was the most ex-
pensive bridge Mulai Hnnd ever
played.

Alfred Nye, member Of the Federal
Signal corps during the Civil war, who
died recently at Lexington, Neb., is
credited with having sent General
Sherman's famous message, Hold the
fort" to General Corse at Allatoona
Pass. Ga, in 1864. During General
Sherman's march to Atlanta, the Con
federates under General Hood, with
drew and marched around General
Sherman, heading back toward Ten
nessee. planning thereby to cut the
Union line of communication.
The point chosen by the Confed-
crates was Allatoona Pass, guarded
by two little forts on either side of
the railroad, the garrison being formed
of small brigade under Lieut.. Col. J.
Z. Tourtellotte. When the Confederate
army began its attack Colonel Tour
tellotte asked for help. General Corse,
with the nearest troops available, at
Rome, Ga, was ordered to reinforce
the pass He was able to move only
a few hundred men.
The battle ragged through the
night and the following day, the Union
men refusing to surrender the fort.
Meanwhile Sherman was exchanging
signals with the men whenever the
smoke of battle drifted aside. until he
was able to have Alfred Nye wigwag
to them: Hold the fort" The Con-
federates retreated and continued their
march to Tennessee.
