MODERN WORLD WONDERS

Sunday night, officials Of the
American Telegraph 4 Telephone
company talked for more than an
hour by wireless telephony, and
were distinctly heard by a group
Of scientists 3,400 miles away, at
Southgate, England. Eleven min
utes after the first connected trans
atlantic speech had been carried
overseas by this modern Mercury.
whose feet are winged with Hert-
Zian waves, d confirmatory and
congratulatory cable message was
received.
Gen. Carly in his speech harked
back to the time when, nearly
fifty years ago, Alexander Graham
Bell spoke the first complete SEN
tence over an electrical telephone
which was clearly heard by his as
sociate. Thomas Watson. Carly
described the era Of development
since that memorable day, March
10, 1876. as the golden age of
communications," having in mini
the extension of human voice not
only through space by the tele.
phone, hut also beyond the barriers
of time by means of the phono-
graph.
But since the successful expert
ment of Sunday night was the re-
suit of utilizing both the telephone
and the wireless waves, Gen. Carly
might also, appropriately, have
called attention to the fact that it
was just about twenty years ago
that Guglielmo Marconi first sue
cceded in transmitting the dots
and dashes of "a telegraph code
across the Atlantic ocean, with
the help of sensitive detectOr
which he had invented after a ser
les Of experiments ig beginning in
1894.
BY 1907 regular press and pri-
vate messages were winging their
way from shore to shore with in
credible speed. Today raido-teleg
raphy has demonstrated it's prac-
teal utility in peace and war
radio-telephony is now enjoying
the dawn of its day. There are in
this country between 100000 and
100000 radio receivers, at which
between three and four million
people listen to concerts and lee
lures from 600 broadcasting sta
| tons.
If this has been the development
Of twenty years, what may we not
expect in the next two decades?-

ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

Mr.. Stamps, the fairy postmaster
of the Fairyland Postoffice, sent Nam
cy and Nick to start postoffce in
Wigglefin Land, under the sea.
1t was at the Cross Roads where
Cap'n Pennywinkle sat all day long
on Curly, his sea-horsc, directing
traffic in the right direction.
Cap'n Pennywinklc kept the big
fishes from humping into the little
fishes, and he was very busy, can
tell you.
Nancy and Nick were busy, too,
sorting out Valentines the Wgglc-
fins sent to each other. SO busy that
they hadn't time to stop for meals!
Charley Cod send Shiny Shad val
entine like this:
1.-THE oceans full of water,
And the land is full of stones,
The whale is full of blubber,
But the shad is full of bones"
That made Shiny Shad mad and
he sent this one back to Charley
Cod:
"A man went fishing in the ocean
With a hook and line and rod,
Just because he had fond notion,
That he'd catch old Charle.' Cod.
Bye and bye he up and caught him.,
And he slowly pulled him in
But his friends declare he bought
him

ooh, l don't care" declared
Charley, when he read it. "Mebbe
they do put Goldfish in cans some
times, but it's because they're so
good. I'm sure no one ever heard
of canning had anyhow" But
that, put a notion into Charlcy's
head and he wrote valentine to
Mack Mackerel. This was; the val
entine he dropped into the Wiggle-
fin postoffice little later and which
Nancy handed out to Mr.. Mackerel
as he passed by:
smack Mackerel lived in the sea,
And so terribly salty turned he,
That he curled up his tail,
And Topped into pail, '
Now they serve him for breakfast
and tea"
ooh, shucks!" said Mack peevishly.
II s'pose Charley Cod thinks hes
smart. . But I've learned how to
keep away from mackerel nets and
I'm not going to be served for either
breakfast or tea. So there! If
that's all the mail there is for ME,
I'll be moving along. thank YOU"

Bisagno is described as bache-

he had known for years the dispo-

WEAR YOUR RUBBERS
Gin Popular Ballad Style)
Rv Rprtnn Rra1ov

A young man sat in a theater,
To watch the actors play,
But he coughed so loud that the
other folks
Couldn't hear what the actors did
say.
The usher did come down to him
And said, "You'll have to leave"
And as young man left the place
ThesS words he seemed to sneeze.
Chorus

That's what my mother said.
But would never listen
And now my nose is red,
/ wish that had hardened
To what my mother told,
always wear your rubbers
And you will not catch cold!"
A young man met maiden,
Whose pumps were made Of suede,
Her stockings, rolled below the knee,
Of silk were thinly made;
He said to her, "Oh, little girl,
You'll get cold in your head,
I'll marry you and teach you what
My dear old mother said"
Chorus
Always wear your rubbers,"
My mother said, and she
Mostsurely said a smouthful
In those kind words to me.
Oh, darling, hear the warning
My mother wisely told,
always wear Your rubbers
And you will not catch cold!"
