Ing great national problem. What

receive serious consideration by every

great world that at first 1t seems pre-
sumptuous to imagine that can be
of assistance, but on further "onsid-

Every death occurring in our city as

brings us that much higher on the
horror list We do not want our city
or home town pointed out as place
where there Is no respect for law or
traffic rules, where the people do not
use common sense to safeguard them.

terrible death.
ITO do my bit I therefore resolve
to offer my assistance whenever 1 see

feeble person hesitatingly attempt to

take necessary precautions at all times
for my own safety, and will caution
my companions, whenever the opportu-

DO not cross the street in the mid

across a thoroughfare. Cross only

"At the Intersection of two streets

Never step out from behind a

Wilson & Colby Have Nation for Client

The law firm Of Wilson & Colby,
composed of former President Wood
row Wilson and former Secretary OF
State Bainbridge Colby, has accepted
as a client the semi-independent prov
inces Of Eastern Galicia.
Aside from the interest attached
to the choice of counsel. the "client'
is also unique. Eastern Galicia is one
Of the territories in Europe whose
status was left uncertain by the Yer
sailles treaty, and for which autonomy
was sought. Hence. politically, the
client is of particular interest to for
mer President Wilson, one Of whose
paramount principles at the peace con-
ference was self-determination.
Colby, it is understood. by virtue
of his experience in international AZ

Premier Mussolini's Very Lively Career

Benito Mussolini, whose spectacu-
lar rise to the italian premiership has
excited worldwide interest, has had
a lively career. For instance. when he
was about thirty he had narrow es-
sape from arrest by fleeing to Switzer-
land. His entrance into that country
was dramatic. He was pursued over
the frontier at Chiasso by italian gen.
darmes who had a warrant for his ar
rest, but won his race for freedom by
a scant hundred yards and the Swiss
customs officers refused to surrender
him.
Penniless. he crossed the St
Gothard pass on foot and upon his
arrival in Lucerne was arrested as
a vagabond without visible means Of
support.
Later he entered the University of
Lausanne, but as he was revolution

Governor Shoup limited the items for
consideration by the legislators only TO
those of principal interest and import
ance to the people of the state. He
said that the expense of the session
and sacrifice OF time and effort on the
part of the members OF the Assembly
are justified only in an extraordinary
emergency and that the threatened
loss to the state OF one of its important
railroads and the need of one of its
largest cities for immediate protection
from recurrence OF disastrous flood
present an emergency sufficient to JUS
tify the immediate attention and the
sacrifice OF time and effort involved.

Pueblo factions in regard 10 flood pre-

what has been known as the 'opposi-
tion Pueblo bill" Senator Jones bill

stations of the Radio Corporation of
America will be completed this year
at Bogota Bay, Colombia, and in Cuba,
and the great Buenos Aires station
will be in operation in id-1923, SAYS
E. j. Nally, president of the company,
who returned a few days ago from
conferences in Europe at which a
working agreement was reached among
the great wireless companies of Eng
land, France, Germany aud America.
From any part of the United States
wireless messages may be relayed
speedily to Buenos Aires, South Africa,
Java, Calcutta or Melbourne, when the
radio building programs of the great
American and European countries are
completed. At present France has the
most powerful station in the world in
the American-built Lafayette towers
seeded by the end of this year by the
Port Jefferson station of the Radio
corporation, which will be the most
powerful station in the world. The
station under construction at Ste.
Assise, near Paris, will be second.
The British wireless chain connect
ing Englund with the empire will have
one station comparatively close to
Argentina, and that will be the sta
ton at Bathurst, in Gambia. on the
extreme western point of Africa,
where the continents of Africa and
South America make their closest APP
proach.
'"The stations of the Radio corpora.

only as an auxiliary system. When tn,

summer it will send to and receive

The British colonial chain of wireless

w. Austin, head of the United State.

munication to The Journal of the
Franklin Institute:
Unlike the plans for communicating
over vast distances by means of huge
stations. the imperial committee
headed by Sir Henry Norman, ha.

recommended that stations of only
moderate power be used, spaced at dis
tances of not more than 1000 nautical
miles, the intermediate stations acting
as relays for the more distant.
There have been heated discussions
in England regarding the relative
merits of the high-power, long-distance
transmission systems in comparison
with the moderate power, intermediate
relay systems. There can be no doubt
that the system of intermediate sta
lions will give by far the most reliable
communication, largely on account of
the small variability of signal intensity
at shorter distances. And probably
for government purposes, where re-
liability is of more Importance than
volume of traffic carried, the system
is superior.
The plans of France for extremely
long distance communication are cen-
tered around the huge transmitting sta
ton now being completed at Ste.
Assise, between Fontainbleau and
Paris. This station is expected by its
promoters to communicate with Sal
gon, Indo-C China. $500 nautical miles
Buenos Aires. $3.50 miles, and. of
course, many nearer points"
Holland is building one station at
home and one in Java for commune
eating a distance of 6,10O miles, almost
entirely overland. On the question
whether radio is likely to replace the
cable is transoceanic communication In

Revive Plan to Build
World City at Brussels

Brussels.-The striking idea
of building an international
city, at the gates of Brussels,
which was first proposed to
King Albert of the Belgians in
1913, has been revived and II
is now proposed to erect the
city and inaugurate 1t at the
same time as the Brussels inter
national exposition In 1890.
1t is intended that the inter
national city shall be a perma-
nent institution, where every
country will have a building In
which 1t will display not only
its manufactures and products
but examples of its art and rec
ords of its social progress.
These plans were first submit
ted to King Albert in 1913 by
Hendrick c. Anderson. an Amer
lean sculptor, formerly of New
port. X. l., who then was living
in Rome. Mr.. Anderson was
aided in preparing his plans for
the ideal city by Senator Henri
La Fontaine and Paul Otlet.

and if ii should it will be because the
atmospheric disturbances have been
practically eliminated. But even
there are certain classes of traffic
which can be sent by radio much more
economically and quite as satisfac-
torily where delays of a few hours are
not Objectionable. Continuous twenty
four hour service is. of course, already
possible where distances are moderate.
Here automatic high-speed reception
is making radio a formidable rival of
the wire and cable lines"
