Much Wood in Sport.

About twenty-five million feet Of
wood of 80 kinds are consumed yearly
in this country by manufacturers of
appliances and apparatus for games
and sports, says the American Forest
nv Magazine of Washington. Several
industries require much more wood
than this one and produce articles
which, in the aggregate. sell for more
money, but not one of all of them,
with the possible exception of toys
affords as much enjoyment. In one
direction, this industry surpasses toys
as a producer of happiness; for toys
concern children almost exclusively
while this concerns old. young and
middle aged in the same way. Games
are for the elderly as well as for
Youthful.

that as rapidly as the permanent sta
tus of military posts becomes known
negotiations will be opened with the
telephone companies for the purchase
of war activity telephone systems.
Asserting that with suitable appara-
tus messages may be exchanged he
tween any two points on the surface
of the globe, General Squier says we
are in fact living in "tenth-second
world" since with suitable equipment
any radio impulse passes between any
two points within this time.
Perhaps the most important of the
many developments worked out dur
ing the year by the signal corps has
been the putting into practical use of
General Squiers own invention of ap-
plying radio telephony and telegraphy
to bare wires laid in the sea or in the
earth.
New developments include a system
of potential wave engineering involv-
ing no earth return. the utilization of
wave coils as antennae and a static
elimination scheme.
In addition there has also been car
ried out during the year a number of
experiments with wired radio on rail-
road lines which resulted in the su-
proposition of radio telephone and ra-
dio telegraph circuits on ordinary wire
telephone and telegraph circuits over
n maximum distance of $50 miles.

DELEGATES to Convention Displayed
Frendliness That Augurs Well
for Future of World.

One of the most dramatic and i'm
pressive incidents of the second an
nuaI convention of The American Lee
giOn in Cleveland took place when the
repr esentativeS of France and Great
Britain entered the convention hall
arm-in-arm and precipitated an ova-
ton that completely disrupted the
conclave for several minutes. The
distinguished visitors were Gen. Ma
rie Emile Fayolle Of the French army
and Admiral Sir William Lowther
Grant of the British navy. Gen. Leon
ard Wood. who accompanied them,
also received tremendous applause
and was called upon for a speech.
When the cheering had subsidized
General Fayolle and Admiral Grant
each delivered an address urging that
there be no misunderstanding between
this country on the one hand and
France and Great Britain on the
other.
II am acquainted with the high aims
of your association and with the
great mission The American Legion
has assumed" said General Fayolle.
1T intends to keep piously the glori-
Gus remembrance Of the dead. to
help through life all those who came
out of the fight for liberty, and to
keep in all hearts the sacred love for
YOUR own country which is the spring
of all civic virtues"
After referring 10 the close ties of
friendship and esteem which bind
america and France together, he
asked:
"As long as France and America
remain united who. indeed would
dare henceforth to disturb the peace
If the world?"
Admiral Grant voiced a similar
bought. at strikes one as being the
very acme of culpable negligence and
"oolishness," he said, "if we do not
resist with all our power the efforts
Of a comparatively small number of
men in our midst TO create for their
own purposes bad blood between us"
Discussing the problem Of peace,
General Wood declared that tive
don't care a rap about party policies"
He appealed to the Legion for sound
solution of the big national issues,
foreign relations, national defense and
adequate provision for the disabled
men and their dependents.

IA Interior, creation of two new de-
partments-one to be known as the
Department of Public Works and the
other as the Department of Public We'll
fare-and general reorganization of
other governmental departments is pro-
posed in a bill prepared by Senator
Mccormick, Republican, Illinois, for
Introduction at this session of con-
gress.
Senator Mccormick is now in Eu-
rope and the principal provisions of
his bill were outlined in statement
issued from his office. The statement
said that while the bill would be intro
duced early in the session action on it
probably would be deferred until after

the Illinois senator, after completing
the measure. discussed the proposed
changes with Mr.. Harding, 'who ex-
pressed great interest in the bill"
The proposed Department of Public
Works, under the bill, would include
all important engineering and building
services of the government. The de-

S35O,OOO FOR NEW HOSPITAL
Behind Plan for Care of Men
Who Have tuberculosis.

The American Legion of Texas is
now actively behind the campaign to
raise S3J0,000 for hospital for tuber-
culous ex-service men. At recent
meeting of the Benevolent War Risk
society of Texas the directorate was
increased from ID to 45. the 80 new
directors being the membership of the
state Legion executive committee and
fi-s members of the central hospital
committee at Austin.
This marks the turning over Of ac-
tive control of the campaign to the
Legion. Some 100000 still remains
to be raised, but the first unit of 100
beds Of the proposed hospital is al
most ready for occupancy.

W measure of vast Importance, saws
the annual report of the secretary of
commerce, is the rescuing of food
fishes that are left in temporary ponds
lakes, pools and sloughs on the subsid-
ence of the floods of the Mississippi
river and tributary streams. The an
nual losses of valuable fish life owing
to the drying or freezing of all these
shallow waters have been enormous
and have affected the food supply of
the entire region from Minnesota and
wisconsin to Mississippi and Louisi-

that comes under the federal purview.
