VOICES CROSS SEA

1t was eminently fitting that the nfueth anniversary of the telephone last month should have been marked by the establish ment of wireless telephonic communication between New York and London
 While radio messages through powerful broadcasting stations have been transmit ted far greater distances, the holding Of regular conversations across the sea by wireless telephony has just been achieved for the first time. Reports state that Il was just like talking on an ordinary gele- phone and that the voices were heard as distinctly as on many local calls.
 It was on March 10, 1876, that Alexander Graham Bell uttered the first words ever transmitted over telephone wires, when he said: MT Watson, come here, l want yoIl- 7" The words were addressed to Thomas A Watson, his assistant sitting at crude re ceiver in another room and were heard distinctly by him. He hurried to tel Bel that their patient research had been re- warded and that a new art had been a1 that instant given to the world
 The wonderful invention was exhibited at the centennial Exposition in Phladel- phia that year and while it attracted wide attention, no one dreamed Of the part Il was to play in human affairs. Now the telephone is one of the most important and indispens- able adjuncts of modern civilization We can not imagine what we should do without it. Who knos what invention the Philadel- phia exposition this summer may bring forth.

WHEN OPENED BY MISTAKE"

A magazine man recently told Us some thing astonishing about the people in this country who are trying to write for the 
 One of the magazines he represents, he said, receives about 200 manuscripts a day The editors think times are good when four of the manuscripts received during a whole month can be accepted Think Of Il, Four out of 5000.
 Many people think they need a pull to get a manuscript accepted. They don't. The editors are hungry for more talent So every manuscript gets reading,
 There are the first readers and second readers. The first readers have a hard life Out of that mess of very bad CODY they must pick out whatever seems at al promising. The manuscripts they have pas sed then go to the second readers These are more experienced persons. They re- ject many the first readers send them. and pass on the previous few that are left to the editor
 The editor finally chooses the stories that meet his requirements The writer has good reason to feel encouraged if his work gets as far as the editor.
 The reason why we see the same names time after time in the magazines appears to be because they are the only ones who can turn out the stuff, Of course, S000.0o0 people who are trying to break in viii deny this. But there are the facts.

CAREER FOR WOMEN

Governor Ross, of Wyoming, appears not to have very much patience with the modern woman's idea Of a career. She was visited at the state capital the other day by a delegation of college girls, and was asked to advise them. After suggesting that we- man may succeed in almost any profession or auocation, she concluded her remarks hy saying that woman's best prospects ln RSe were dictated by her sex
 In other words, Governor Ross advised those college girls that woman's highest ideals are obtainable Tn career of ma1rs- mony, of home-building, Of 6on-building. And when one comes to think about St one is inclined to the conclusion that just n proportion as woman has neglected the family, have the community, the state, and the nation suffered.

ANOTHER UNSUNG HERO

They called him Big Jim" Fully down in New York City's famous East Side. He had been there for years, washing automo- piles in a big garage. Apparently he had no higher ambitions. His wages were $50 a week, and he found $10 of this enough for food and lodgings. The other S2O he always put in a bank each week until he could get some itinerant |'merry-go-round" owner to set up his contraption in the neighborhood of the garage where Big Jim'' worked. Then he would draw all his savings, hire the merry -go-round" for the length of the time his savings would per init, and turn loose on 1t all the kids in the neighborhood for free rides.
 Big Jim' Pulley died couple of weeks ago. He didn't leave even enough money to bury him. But several hundred child ren, as well as young men who had been children within the years of the big-heart- ed washerman's merry go-round" sprees, saw to it that the potter's field did not get his body. Fifteen hundred dirty-faced ur- chins from the East Side held up traffic to pay their last tribute to Big Jim," and if there were streaks down the grimy faces strangely suggestive of tears they betoken- ed little hearts that were heavy because of the passing of real friend.
 New York has no library dedicated to the memory of Big Jim" Fully. No art gallery contains pictures to honor his name. But enshrined in the hearts of thousand of boys and girls there is the memory of a kind-hearted, openhanded saint who in his simple way taught them that great lesson of unselfshness-''It is more blessed to give than to receive"

OVER 9O,0OO BONFIRES

American forest week ought to be every week in this country, We are prodigal nation, but the most enormous waste of all lies in the wanton destruction of our trees.
 We write beautiful poems about trees, then go out and leave a picnic fire burning in forest. Fifty thousand forest fires rage annually.
 The peak year of Americas favorite out door sport of burning trees was in 1924, when 90,000 bonfires roared in the forests. Can you imagine 20,000000 acres of burn ed out trees, their blackened limbs against the sky?
 A burned out forest is the "abomination of desolation." What was so vast and beau tiful, changed by carelessness into char red skeleton!
 Compared to the careless match of the 10,OO0,O0O people who seek recreation an- nually under the giant trees shade, the fire and sword of the Tartar were myth.

Fasting Among

Harry Wills, the pugilist believes
in fasting. ..rs
1t is said he often goes fifteen
or twenty days without food and
with very little water. He usually
takes these fasts before hard train
ing. XII. ..
Many people, including the
modern Indian, are ignorant of
the good results of fasting. Often
by stopping the intake of food
morbid conditions of the body
may be overcome.
Nine tenths of the diseases could
be cured if the people would fast
occasionally. s.'
This was common practice
among the older Indians before
the coming of tie white man.
They trained their children to fast,
just as they trained them in the
art of hunting and fishing. OF
course, fasting will not cure a
broken arm nor put back a foot

cure hang nails, but many of the

The GhippeWas
And Attorneys.
ChippsWas VIII be Very Popular With the
Disciples Of Blackstone This Summer.

With the anticipated passage BY
Congress at this session of the
Chippewa Jurisdictional Bill,
many attorneys, both of Minneso
ia and elsewhere, are already so
listing the support of the Indians
in an effort to obtain contract
from the Indians to represent them
before the Court of Claims in the
prosecution Of their claims against
the United States.
Mr. Webster Ballinger, of
Washington, d. c., who has rep
resented the Chippewas for the
past thirteen years without com
pensation or contract, is still busy
10 their behalf and has the loyal
support of a vast majority of the
well informed, educated Indians.
They know that it is Mr.. Bafiinger
who is responsible for bringing
the Chippewa situation to the
present state where it is very
likely the Indians will be permit
ed to go into the courts and pro
Esecute their claims against the
United States. If-it4 had not been
for the persistent and careful work
of NJ. Ballanger the Chippewa
situation would today be where it
was twenty years ago. No attor
ney in this state or in Washington
has made the carful study of the
Chippewa situation and is SO
thoroughly acquainted with all the
details as Is Mr.. Ballanger, he has
made Chippewa matter study for
the past fifteen years. 1t is hard
to predict who will be successful in
landing the attorneyship, this is to
be desided this summer by coun
Gil on this reservation for the ap
pointment of an attorney and a
like council some where else in the
Chippewa country for the other
attorney; and Indian cnudcils are
hard things to make any predict
ions on.
1t is our op;noin that these
councils to appoint the two at.
torneys to represent the indians
should be held just as the jusis
dictional bill provides; that is, that
all the Indians on the White Earth
reservation should hold one council
