ODD CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Might Have Been Effective in 1912
But One Would Hesitate to
Recommend 1t.

Rheumatism is associated with a
greater number of superstitions than
any other complaint.
In Holland there are people who be-
lieve that a potato begged or stolen is
an effective preventive, while chest
nuts are said to possess the same
efficacy.
In the Midlands of England the
right forefoot of hare, carried in the
pocket, is regarded as a fine amulet,
and the Cornish villager is apt to put
his trust in a piece of the wood Of
the mountain ash.
Perhaps the strangest "cure'' for
rheumatism is thai which is to be
found in the "Compleat Housewife, or
Accomplished Gentlewoman's Com
panion''-a work published in 1912;
''Let the party take of the finest
glazed gunpowder as much as large
thimble may hold, wet it with a spoon
with milk from the COW, and drink
good half-pint of warm milk after it;
be covered warm in bed and sweat;
give it fasting about seven in the
morning, and take this nine or ten
mornings together

1.-THE night of December Z, 1921"
says Raymond Francis Yates in the
New York Times Current History,
marked a new era in amateur wire
less work, for on that and succeeding
nights more than a score of American
and Canadian amateur operators first
realized their ambition Of getting
across" the Atlantic. Though the law
limits amateurs to comparatively
short wave lengths, some of their mes
sages during that historic test covered
5000 miles of ocean and were accu-
rately recorded at an amateur receiv-
ing station in Scotland.
Toward the end of 1921 a photo
graph Of President Harding was
flashed across the Atlantic ocean from
Annapolis to Paris in 20 minutes. This
feat was achieved with an ingenious
apparatus invented by Edouard Belin,
The picture, of course, was not trans
mitted in material form, but was trans
lated into radio-telegraphic impulses,
which were recorded on the distant
apparatus. The work done along this
line opens up a new field. Within a
few years we shall probably be trans
hitting important news pictures over
great distances, and then how easy it
will be even to sign checks and i'm
portant papers through the ether In
fact. a signature sent by this method
has already been recognized as legal
in France. The possibility Of Grim
inal detection is also interesting in
this connection. A criminals likeness
can be sent broadcast to any part of
the country within the space of few
minutes.
It is gratifying to know that Amer
lea has taken the lead in the develop
ment of radio telegraphy. There was
recently opened at Rocky Point, Long
Island. a powerful radio station de-
signed to make New York the focal
point Of radio-telegraphic communica-
ton throughout the world. This pow
erful transmitter, the aerials of which
are supported by no less than seventy
two 41O-foot steel towers, and spread
over a space of ten square miles,
will enable this country to commune
cate with six foreign nations stimuli
taneously. Besides this we have sew
eral other transatlantic stations and
one transpacifc station.
Although the United States has
taken the lead in the development and
application of radio biography, Eng
land, France, Germany and Japan are
bv no means overlooking the value of
this kind of communication. England
has already started to carry out an
ambitious plan which will give her
an "All Red Chain of wireless sta.
tions throughout the world. Japan re-
gently completed the erection Of al
nowerful transmitter which places her
in direct touch with points as far dis
rant as the United States. Gernany's
nowerful Nauen station represents the
latest advances in the art and keeps
her in constant touch with the com
mercial activities of America. France
has provided herself with a numberI

with America through the use of a.

If you and Il few of your friends are interested in stocking q stream that trout will live and thrive in, and are not fully informed as to procedure the following facts from the Fish and Game Commission will be of value:
 First Brook trout will not live in streams chat rise above 6s degrees in summer.
 Second Banks of streams should bear trees or tall shrubs to provide necessary shade and coolness. In open spaces. quick-growing willows or black alder should be planted.
 Third-Remember that in a manu- facturing State Of large towns and cities. sewage. mill and other refuse pours into many of our streams. t IS useless to put trout in such waters.

 age Raiding of Gardens

In recent years the farmers in and around Putnam have complained of the loss of garden and orchard pro. ducts suffered at the hands of thieves Who make their inroads into the coun. try by automobile. The state police have organized their daily patrols in the rural districts of Connecticut So as to afford the largest amount of pro. tection possible to the farmers who suffer from these depredations. Supt. Robert I. Hurley of the state police Is determined to discourage the practice of raiding gardens. and state officers have been instructed to be on the look. out for this particular kind of thief.

to meet before the automobile came
into so general use. In fact from
my observation the old style farmer
and his wife had completely dissp-
peared.
In their places ! saw a man Of
intelligence. keen and alert, accom-
panied by a woman who was whole
some to look at, neat and attractive
in appearance and with an atmos-
phere OF knowing the joys Of life.
A very bright little woman who
was seated next to me entertained
me with her remarks. when the
President, after his long and labored
speech. said he could do nothing
for them by legislation, that they
alone could solve their problems by
cooperation, she very quickly said,
''it was really not necessary to call
us TO Washington to tell us that, or
in other words to suggest forming
a trust, as we have too many now
and We have always co-operated."

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:


Why does Congress constantly
spurn the city of Washington. the
National Capital, the city in which
the. greatest questions in the world
are being and have been settled ?
This is a question which should de-
mand a truthful answer. / refer to
the upkeep of the city. in improve
ments. etc. Surely there can be no
excuse for Congress to offer, for
cutting the water appropriation as
recently passed by the House Com
mittee in the event 1t is not re-
stored.
II it is for the reason that the
people of Washington have no vote,
and cannot hurt the members of
Congress from a political stand
point. wish to state that while !
am not a resident of this city,
want to see il have name
throughout the world to be proud
OF. 1t is our own National Capital,
and i. for one. am going to be on
the alert and take notice OF the
members who vote against great
municipal necessities, and IL one of
these members comes from my dis
trict. will do my utmost to repu-
diate him at the next election.
I think IL Congress wants to be
fair and to cast aside politics for
a few moments, when the District
appropriations are up, they will
take the foregoing facts into con-
sideration.
