The attention Of the world today is directed once

Re now calls queen"
This country has looked before upon this place OF
exile. the hearts or many men and women
there has come the wonder that he who rent the
world with blood and drapes It with the black OF
mourning should be allowed 20 live and ponder
the results OF his great madness.
Four years ago there written at Versailles a
treaty whose first great message 10 the world was
that guilt is always punished and that no crown or
sceptre could shelter the who violates laws Of
Cod
There was a pledge in that treaty. too that when
It was right. the who started the great conha-
grafton which wiped away the very foundation Of
civilization should be brought trial and punished.
not as Kaiser. not ruler. but man whose very
weaving ambition and whose selfish zeal to rule the
world should do the penalty for his acts.
That part OF the treaty has been forgotten for
gotten because this nation refused to ratify the
treaty and those nations which fought with TO
make the world safe for democracy were left to fol-
low the unchartered course Of self-reservaton and
OF imperial greed. They forgot the mad Kaiser in
his exile while France turned her efforts upon arm
ing herself for the new war and England turned
her thoughts to recovery Of trade and transpor
tation OF the world.
And. so. today the man who deserted his armies
and turned away when death was certain goes to
church with a woman who says she loves him, while
under the belief that he Is monarch and king be-
slows upon her the title OF queen Of Prussia
That part is as meaningless as the mock narriage
in the play might be with some handsome actor
bestowing millions in stage money upon the leading
lady for there will never again be real queen in

EVER \ BABY.
Above the ceaseless clamor and the
cry,
The strife for fortune and the
loftier place,
Ambition and the urge to scramble
high,
Most Of US hold a little baoy's face.
Here is a fairer dream than fame
or gold.
A richer treasure than the stuff
we seek.
What wondrous secrets may the
cradls hold.
What joyous words those little
lips shall speak.
Servants Of Mammon! Such we seem
20 be,
sordid :he tasks which face US
every cay
Yet. ever smiling at US. we can see
The babe that soon shall follow
down he way.
Here is the purpose Of the wrongs
we bear.
Here IS the urge which sends Us
after gain,
Gives Us the courag sc 10 stand up to
care.
And sets our teeth 10 bitterness
and pain.
Seemingly seeking gold we spend our
days.
Seemingly selfish, mad the pace
We make.
Yet most Of Us are pledged to sor-
did ways
Not for ourselves but for a babys

RADIO FUTURE.

4 New York City department store has just sold
$50 Western Electric receiving and broadcasting
stations" at s495 apiece.
This was at a special sale The outfits are de-
scribed as "Built for the U. s. navy. Adopted by
the L. S. government as standard. Now in success
fuI use on government SHIPS. SETS that have never
been used"
This sale is a history making event.
It IS the forerunner of es.grade radio at a low
price.
The al orering these sets for s4s5 says "the est-
mated cost OF producing these sets today is s15s5'
and the estimate is conservative"
The production cost. however. will be reduced
eventually Cheap radio Of the best grade is inev-
table. Remember. watches we're almost prohibiuve
IN price to the average man until IngersOn set out
20 make them for dollar SO autos, until
Henry Ford put on his thnking-cap.
Another prophetic vision Of radios future comes
from wellesley Mass. where Roger Babson. busi-
ness expert backs movement TO build wireless
community church"
In this church. at different hours each Sunday,
religious services for all denominations viii be
conducted by radio
For instance Baptists would ger their service 10
n Il in the morning. then would follow hours for
Methodsts. etc.
What Babson has IN mind is eventually national
radio service BY which Isolated communities will get
the best music and the best preaching available.
The services will be PICKED up in the homes by
other millions OF people when high-grade radio out
hts become cheap.
Mans greatest invention is the art Of communi-
cation. It's first form was speech. People began
coming out on their separate and individual caves
and congregated In small settlements soon as they
were able TO trade ideas and disarm each others
suspicious BY exchanging words.
Writing was the next great invention enabling
people 70 communicate over long distances without
coming face 20 face
Then came printing. with it. the germ OF real
civilization
Next was the telegraph. evolved from the primi-
tive system OF communicating long distances by
relays Of toul-toms or pufs from beacon fires.
The telephone crowded close on the heels Of the
telegraph
Now its radio.
The next step may be mental telepathy.
