Automatic Radio Sender
Is Perfected ON Majestic

A radio message received here yes
terday from the White Star liner Ma
jestic, due to dock early this morning,
told Of the successful employment Of
an automatic sender for messages
which will increase the sending speed.
The first message by the automatic
sender follows:
This message inaugurates use Of
automatic transmitter on merchant
ships for commercial purposes and
opens up a new era in ship-to- shore
communications which will permit
more expeditions handling of messages" )"
The device, which has been perfected
for use with the Marconi wireless sys-
tenn after experiments extending over
twelve months, increases the speed Of
cending messages from twenty words
to fifty words minute. The message
is cut on tape and is then fed into
the automatic sender, eliminating send

N''S
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 13.-After an
all-day conference Kansas Democrats
staged funeral for the Kansas In
dustrial Court in the streets of Topeka
tonight. They organized a funeral
train headed by horse-drawn hearse

Hundreds OF Democratic leaders,
Santa Fe shopmen and shawled women
followed the hearse, cheering and
shouting for Jonathan Davis, the new
Governor.
Mr.. Davis told $500 persons that the
abolition Of the Industrial Court was
second in his program. The reduction
of taxes was first, he declared. He
would go no further In discussing his
plans for the next administration, ex-
cept that he would bring Speck, his
pet COW, along to insure his having
pure cream in his coffee each morn

Rum Thieves Use Drain

PEORIA, H., Nov. 1s.-Liquor stolen
from warehouse here, evidence Of
which was found by the discovery of a
long tunnel leading to the building,
was poured out on the roof and per-
mitted to run through the regular
drain pipes, authorities said to-day
The end OF the drainage pipes is near
the Illinois River, and it is said the
thieves caught the liquor there as it
flowed from the pipes, and transported
it across the river. A garden hose
800 feet long, found in the tunnel, ap-
parently was not used.
1t was said the original report that
100000 worth Of whisky was removed
was erroneous and that the thefts
actually had been 1900 gallons.

Senator Walter e. Edge, of New

lost ilve months out Of his planned
ten months honeymoon. Senator
Edge is engaged to Miss Camilla

marriage was to have taken place

The plan had been to extend
the honeymoon from March A to
next December, when the new
Congress convenes. The slimness
OF the Republican majority and
the calling of Congress in extraor-

Edges constant attendance, SO
the marriage has been advanced
to December in order to take
advantage of the holiday season.

Sex Hygiene Not for Public Schools

~ hskieue NOT TOT fublic Schools.
Inc teaching Of sex hygiene in the
public schools Of America is deplered
oy DR.. Richard c. Cabot. professor of
medicine and social ethics at Harvard
University.
II isn't knowledge tina, keeps people
straight" according to this university
authority.
IF il did" Doctor Cabot argued.
"doetors and nurses would be the most
exemplary people in the world-and
We know they are not.
The teaching of sex hygiene in the
public schools is not helpful to the
youth of the land, in my estimation, a"
he declared. "ln the first place, il
centralizes the attention and the
thought on thing that we do not
want the thought centralized upon ;
hence its teaching is contradictory.
Children develop along sex lines at
widely divergent ages. What one
child is ready for in the way of in.
Structien the next one is not ready
for, and TO force knowledge upsn a
child who is not ready for it is a ser
ious thing. Such knowledge should
be impaired TO individuals and not to
groups.
Besides knowledge is not the thing
that keeps people straight. The ex-
ample OF people we care for is the
thing that does that, hence the value
Of the right kind of companions for
both children and adults.
THE most hopeful sign in relation
to medical education today is that
schools Of medicine are becoming few
err. In 1916 there we're 100 schools
in the country, now there are but so.
Those who have closed their doors
have been of the lower class oper-
ated for financial gain. Money can
not be gained by teaching medicine
Any attempt to do so is fraudulent.
Schools Of medicine, to fill their teal
mission, must be carried on in connec-
ton with the large universities and
colleges.
"The quality Of the work done by
doctors in the schools of medicine has
increased as the number of schools
has decreased. A better class Of men
is taking up the work of teaching"

Find a Skeleton in Chains.

A recent dispatch from New Smyrna,
Florida, says:
Removal Of part Of an inconspicuous
mound from lot adjacent to the
Dixie highway on the outskirts of the
city has uncovered the burying place
of either a prisoner of war or a
slave of the European or Indian in
habitants of Florida of more than 100
years ago. The mound, about five
feet in height and Of small area, has
been a familiar object, and tall oaks
and palmettoes are growing upon it.
A real estate dealer, who had the
property listed, noticed recently that
some unauthorized person had been
removing earth from the mound, and
upon investigation he discovered what
he at first believed to be shell Of pc
culiar form. II was identified later
as part OF a human skHll, and further
excavation disclosed the skeleton Of a
man who was about six feet in height.
Rusty chains were about the neck
arms and legs, with all sections of the
chains joined together. The body had
been placed upon the level ground ant
the earth had been heaped over ano
around il.

or violation OF any part OF the funda-
mental law OF our land is wrong, sub
versivc OF good government and
tending to SOW the seeds of anarchy,
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That
we earnestly urge The Chicago Tri-
bune in behalf of it's many thousand
law abiding readers to maintain the
highest standard Of editorials and
throw its powerful influence unwav-
erngly and uncquivoc~lly for the
strict enforcement Of the entire Con
stitution OF the United States, includ-
ing the Eighteenth Amendment and
by SO doing materially aid in short
ening the period of overt attempts
to subvert that part of the Constitu-
ton.
Had prosecution and conviction,
not alone by the federal authorities,
but, and primarily SO, by the local
authorities, been swift and sure from
the hour the Eighteenth Amendment
became fundamental part of the
law of our land, the violation and
costs OF enforcement would both
have been reduced to the minimum
and respect for and obedience to this
law would already have become a
part of the daily life of the American
citizen.
"And Be it Further Resolved; That
we heartily commend and pledge our
support to The Illinois State Jour
nal and The Springfield Register for
their unwavering stand, editorially
insisting on the strict enforcement of
the Eighteenth Amendment because
it is now a part of the fundamental
law of our land.
