THE WIRELESS TELEPHONE-Peo have
the wireless telephone and its popular use for
broadcasting messages, fails to attract the wonder
1t would have caused years ago The impossible
50 frequently becomes the commonplace of daily
life, that few persons surprised at any new de-
veopment no matter how amazing
Wireless telephony is only in its infancy and
1t is impossible topredict how far it will go. There
is one very important service that it will render
TO permit people living in country districts to en-
JOY music and lectures and addresses delivered in
city centers. Fine concerts and operas will be
made accessible wide range of territory by
wireless telephone
People living in remote homes twill sit in their
living rooms and hear the masterpieces of music
played in the big city concert halls Political orators
VIII have messages conveyed over the country thru
radio instruments
One more step will be taken to break down the
isolation of rural localities and people who are a
ong. distance from their neighbors will be in close
touch with the world of activity in centers of pop-
ulation, Such methods of communication must be
boon to invalids and shut-ins and elderly people,
who are cut off by inability to attend public gath
er'ngs. The wireless telephone will bring into
their secluded rooms the activity of the outside
world and their life will seem less limited Such
folks will enjoy church services without stirring
from their homes development like this is not
merely scientific marvel but it will do wonders
to keep people in touch with the movements OF the
times.

just Incident in saiIora Liz


Some time ago six survivors OF a
crew Of 2S men belonging 10 the st.
ADDS were cast, with their lives and
nothing more, on the bleGS island Of
San Juan de Nuovo. At fist they re-
manned on the inshore reef, where tho
storm had thrown them, living on raw
sea-birds and eggs, and dral<,cg the
ralnwater in the crannes of ts;a rocks
After a fortnight they plucked up
courage. and managed to swim across
to the iSiand, where they found a
hut--a relic of previous Crusoes-and
spring of sweet pure water. Here
they also discovered, cast ashore from
their wreck, several barrels of four
and cases Of provisions, and many
turtles. Life became a little more
tolerable for them, and here they lived
for four months till Spanish
schooner cruising around for turtles
bore up off the island, and rescued the
stranded mariners.

GERMANY pRospERrNG THROUGH CUR

ENCY ISSUES-(Sen Thos E. Watson in Col
umbia SentincD Let us contemplate the situation
IN Germany: She came out of the war crushed
in spirit, overshadowed by the Preparations Claim
which SO heavy that it excited sympathy even
among her enemies, because we had not gone to
war with the German people, but with the Kaiser's
n1iliaIishm and ambition
The v'ctors made stern use of their triumph.
Most Of Germany's merchant fleet was taken awax
she was denied the free use of her inland waters.
her railroads were stripped, she was cut off from
trade with the balance OF the world, she was bot
tied up as completely as any nation ever was iron
rineed.
10 make her situation worse, there was internal
strife. But, over all these difficulties here people
have prevailed and they did it by the issuance of
paper money. Her circulation is six times more
than it was before the war
In other words the rulers of the German Repub
lie adopted the OPPOSITE COURSE to that pur-
sued by those who rule US
Money being plentiful, enterprise was stimulat
ed, labor employed, production increased and pros
Perity assured
At the very time when our exports have dim;n
ished to the vanishing point, those Of GERMANY
nave grown to be the marvel of the world In De-
e~mber last she exported merchandise to the value
Of l4.5CoOO0,0O0, marks
She imported products and materials to the
value of l3,500,OO0yO00 marks.
Thus the balance of trade in her favor v,s ooo
100000 marks
She is paving off the war indemnity in goods
manufactured in Germany.
Without plentiful supply of circulating med
~ium, this would have been impossible.
Of course the German mark as compared with
the English pound the American dollar. shows
depreciation in exchange value, but it answers
every purpose in Germany, and by producing
goods at lower cost than they can be produced
here, the Germans have vast advantage over the
producers in this country
Travellers who have returned recently from Ger

easily find it There is no army of UNEMPLOYED.
There are no charitable soup kitchens, or hungry
oread lines None perish of cold or hunger in the

1t is most amazing contrast that History pre-
cents: coming out Of the war defeated Germany
