Baby Chickens

The history of the growth of the
baby chick industry during the last
decade affords conclusive evidence
that ready-made chicks have glven'
and are giving, general satisfaction.
We're this not true, had, the chicks
been costly, inferior in quality, de-
livered in poor condition, or failed to
make good at maturity when their
true value can be accurately judged,
the industry would have passed away
instead of growing with truly amaz-
ing rapidity as it has done.
1t is impossible to estimate tne
number of baby chicks Matched eacf
year, but the members of the Inter
national Baby Chick Association
numbering upward of one hundred
hatcheries, safely shipped betwee'
fifty and seventy-fve millions o
chicks last season. This year the

Freak Storm Hit Newark Last
Sunday Morning

II you didn't sleep too sound early
Sunday morning you probably heard
the first thunder of the year. Ac-
companying this thunder was a storm
of hailstones.
The storm broke about 2.3O o'clock
and hailstones of a good size fell and
following this was rain accompanied
by lightning and thunder.
The storm broke, but Sunday was
cold, disagreeable day followed by
Spring-like weather on Monday.

THE WIRELESS BEDLAM

uAND il no longer to the Germans. Hand
II il to l.. II. Krumm. Of the East Pitts
burgh Wireless Broadcasting Station and
the easy going wizards for whom he spoke
before n radio conference called by Secre-
tary Hoover, who is seeking means to keep
the air from being hopelessly jammcd with
wireless music, wireless talk, wireless jazz
and the like.
Mr.. Krumm might have been a genie out
Of bottle, or u parsonage out Of fan.
tastic tale.
1--WE don't give 'em cheap stuff from our
station said he. talking proudly of the
vast and increasing multitude Of amateurs
who put their ears to radio receivers each
evening in all parts Of the country. I'VE
went to Chicago and got grand opera. We
broadcast sermons, speeches, crop and
weather reports and the reports of the
stock markets. general news, violin solos and
that sort Of thing. We are impartial. In
sermons we go down the list until we have
covered all denominations. There's moth
ing cheap about us ~
Mr.. krumm told only part of the magic
tnlc. He made no reference to experiments
which proved thnt lady in New York may
now sing Texas babies to sleep with pretty
lulabies. lie didn't say that the competing
broadcastlng stations, working at nights
against the vast. unregulatod tide OF radio
impulses created by amateurs and expert
mrnters. justify 1ioovcr's assertion that the
air has become betllam.
Wireless is unqucstibnabiy the dominant
wonder Of the world. Wireless telephony
is something more than that. Any one In
n we'll equipped station nowadays may turn
a little knob md hear news going from
Paris to London. Switch into shorter
wave and you may listen to the Moscow
u.i daft fn tho
Soviet world. At the turn Of wrist you
can cut out Moscow, Paris and London and
the ships at sea. and q lady, trillins through
few hundred miles of night. will sing for
you. Or an orchestra will play In your ear
or some unseen person will dcclaim the
latest gossip of Wall street for your edif-
cation.
But the wireless waves are treading on
each others heels and getting in each 9TH
er's way. The Government is kecnly inter-
ested in all this. since it happens that ether
waves respect no national boundaries or
State lines. Moreover, there is furious
conflict between powerful interests to cs.
tablish a sort Of monopoly Of the air. It
was when the amateurs with big sending
machines began to work Zealously at night
that sort of aerial riot began. Mr.. Hoover
called the leading radio men to Washington
TO see whether 1t Is possible to outline a
tentative system for the regulation and con-
troll Of aerial communication. He has
started work that will grow obviously
more important with each passing day. The
possibilities Of wireless are virtually with
out limit. 1t is clear, therefore, that the
Government cannot afford to let private in
terests take full possession Of the air. In
Europe schemes Of regulation already are
we'll advanced and there exist international
treaties to regulate the use of wireless.
That sort of regulation is just about to begin
In the United States.

A WOMAN.RULED WORLD

0sCHE has been courted In business" says
y Prof. Ralph l.. Powers, Of the Uni
Sersity of Southern California, talking omi-
nously of woman with a capital ", 'and
politicians feel that they must placate her
IL they wish to avoid overthrow. She has
won first place in the news Of the world.
Her manifest destiny as ruler Of the world
IS therefore merely matter of swift de-
kslopment.'
Prof. Powers moves on from this asser-
don to prophesy that within fifty years
women will be the bosses of the earth
Men. he believes, will stay at home and
mind the children and cook and wash dishes
and sweep up.
We'll. well! Fifty years. That seems n
eons time to wait. For. when you read the
news from Japan and from Russia, from
Washington and London and Paris it be-
.sins TO seem that women, though they
might do no better than men as rulers of
creation, couldn't do much worse if they
kried.
Men took charge Of affairs before the
7Eeons Age. Prior to that II you believe all
ySu read, women were supreme dctators in
sorAe parts of the EARTH Variety is the
spiGe of life. Change is wholesome. Women
seldom make after dinner speeches. They
don't like bloody fighting, Let them take
the world, II they are looking for trouble
4 and see what they can do with it.

SHORT SKIRTS AND TRADE

TT Is agreed by the delegates attending tho
i conference Of textile manufacturers in
this city that II the women would lengthcn
the skirts Of their gowns by few inches
there would be- demand for at least % nor
cent more textiles than are al present manu-
factured.
But it Is doubtful whether the delegates
will adopt any resolution urging that the
skirts be heightened. Whatever may be their
opinion as business men, there are other
considerations to be weighed before the short
skirts are condemned - considerations of
grace and beauty, and the preservation OF
the attractions of the human scene
But II the textile men should decide 10
