So is the navy station at Cavite, Philippine Islands, operating on 13,900 meters. The Navy depends on the Annapolis station, which is operated incident- ally by remote control by means of k in the Navy Building in Wash- ingzton, to transmit messages day in and day out over a radius of about 5,500 miles. U. S. System Complcte The United States Navy has the most complete system of high power land stations for radio telegraphy of all naval establishments. Southward of the great Annapolis station it has among its larger units the sending plant at Cayey, Porto Rico, using a 10,510 meter wave, and_ another at Balboa, Canal Zone, sending on 10,- 110 meters. The castern portion of the Pacific is covered from the contin- t by a station at San Diego, Califor- in Puget Sound. The former uses waves of 9,800 meters and the latter of 7,100. In the Hawai- ian Islands the Navy has two send- ing stations, one using 11,500 meters and the other 8.,875. On Guam is a naval station which Sends on 9,145 meters; and finally in the Philippines is the 18,900 meter station. In practically no place where its ships are likely to cruise will they be out of range of one.or more of the Navy’s sending stations.

When Brussels was under the yoke of the invaders a notable Belgian one day went to the convent of the Jesuits and asked secretly if it were not pos- sible to get a letter forwarded to his son, o defender of the Yser. “wThat's extremely difficult,” they told him, “We are spied upon. The Germans are more vigilant than ever, Still, we'll see.” A few days later the father of the soldier saw a workingman coming to his house. “I am sent by the Jesuits,” he sald to him. “T'll try to cross the lines, Give me your letter.” “Here it Is, Take this for your trouble, and let's go to the cafe and drink to the success of your mission.” “WIith pleasure.” A week later the workingman came again. He brought the soldier's reply. Delighted, the Belgian kissed him, and the two again went to the cafe to drink, this tlme to victory. After which the Belgian hastened to the Jes- ult Fathers to thank them. “rd like to see the superior,” he safd. “The superior? Why, he was In your house this morning.” “This morning?” ! “Yes, this morning. He was the workingman who carrled your letter to Furness.—New York Tribune. Oceans’ Levels Changed. It 1s the bellef of scientists that, during the glacial period, when the land was covered with huge coats of ice, the level of the ocean was from 150 to 200 feet lower than its normal level, according to Dr. T. W. Vaughan of the United States geological survey. This bellef Is based upon the theory that what goes up must come down, and sclentists are able to account for the presence of ice on the land only on the supposition that it came from the sea. Proof of this is found in coral reefs in all parts of the world. Their posi- tion indicates that the building was commenced in the shallow waters of the then coast line, only to have the waters rise. The little animals which create the reefs kept on building toward the new level. Many of the reefs, it has been observed, have been built on submarine shelves, and these are invariably found on coasts which show signs of having once been sub- merged. New Name for Galoshes. : Norman Karr, the five-year-old son of Prof. and Mrs. H. M. Carr of De- Pauw university, has heard so much about “bovtleg becuuse of the activity of Sheriff Sears of Putnam county, that he often thinks of them, even though he doesn't know as much about them as the officer. Recently Norman and his mother were walking through'the campus, when the boy noticed these funny looking things called galoshes, worn by two co-eds. He pointed at the shoes and sald to his mother: -“Mother, are those the ‘bootleggers’ that daddy talks about?” —Indianapolis News. Auntie Remembered. Auntie, getting along in years, 1s an earnest advocate of the “blank” sys- tem of memory training. By-its use she has had remarkable success lately" in recalling names, always so inclined to slip away from her. The other day, however, it took three attempts to get the rightful appellation. Néphew went up to her at a dance, requesting an in- troduction to the new and decidedly sturdy and stout young kindergartner who was substituting in our town. “Yes, yes, I.know her name,” sald auntié eagerly; “just let me think a moment—it was entirely appropriate, so I didn’t bother much with it. Let me see. Strong, no; Hefty, oh, no; I remember it applied to her talling as well as to her person. I have it now, Powers—Miss Powers,” sald auntle tri- umphantly.—Chicago. Journal, Florida | T TEACHERS’ WAGE RANKS WELL FOR NEXT YEAR (Continued from Page 1) The board has been most anxious to keep the best teachers and has ad- vised Superintendent J. C. West to ‘use his best efforts to bring this about. From Mr. Ritchie’s talk one might construe that the salaries are being paid by the calander month, which is not the case at present according to reports from the ‘teachers. They are being paid every four weeks. Twenty days of teaching in other words constitutes a month. _The only periods for which they will receive no pay are the two wetks at Christmas and New Year’s and the one week at Easter time. For other short holidays such as Thanks- giving, Washington’s birthday, etc., they will receive pay the same as though these were regular teaching days. There are nine 20 teaching day periods during the school year: The board also realizes that owing to the high taxes it is up to the school district to keep its proportion down as much as possible and to consider at the same time the ef- ficiency of its teaching staff, which ilt has conscientously endeavored to do. The news that the salaries have been raised per month, rather than lowered, with but very few exceptions will ,it is believed, meet with the general approval of the public.

LAND CLEARING BOARD PLANS DEMONSTRATION (Continued From Paze 1) in each of the trading centers in this end of the county where explosives could be distributed in lots to suit the buyer. Mr. Washburn voiced the greatest need of the organization, which is a matter of finance. Plans are being made, however, to arrange for financing the various projects and details will be announced later. F. R. Duxbury, president of the association, presided at this session. A. E. Witting of Blackduck was pres- ent, as well as A. A.Warfield , sec- retary-treasurer, who is in charge of the magazine here and who superin- tends the actual distribution. It is especially urged that all farmers wanting explosives make known their ‘wants as soon as possible, Why a “Jumper?” The word was originally a “jump,” ahd is first met in 1615, as a “jacket or loose coat réaching to the thighs.” The dainty feminine garment of to- dny owes Its parentage to the shape- less garment of coarse sacking some- times worn by coal heavers or d Inborers! For this was the origin: “Jump,” essentinlly v ‘male garment of the most primitive type.

A friend of mine is very fond of lobster, but, like many men, has no idea how such food is prepared. His wifp had occasion to be absent from home one day last week and she told the servant girl to broil a lobster for my friend's dinner.” She left a note; telling her husband of the treat she had provided for him and requesting him not to wait dinner for her. He was quite hungry when he reached home and, after reading the note, said to the servant: “Is that lobster ready?” 0, sir, it isn’t,” said the girl. “Well, hurry up with it. Fm as hungry as a bear,” said he. “I can't, sir,” said the girl. “The mistress sald to broil the lobster, and I got him on the gridiron, after a deal of a fuss. The more I poked the fire the more he walked ,off, and I thought“the baste was haunted and no good would come from cooking a straddle bug like that,” ) “What did you do with it?” said my frlend, getting mad. “Faith, the Iast I saw of him he was going out the back door with his tail up, like the maniac he was.” He hay sardines for dinner.—Judge. REVEALED BY “LIFE TABLES” Census Bureau Stitistics Show That Women May Expact to Have Longer Lives Than Men. According to ‘the new “life tables” about to be published by the census bureau, residents' of rural districts in this country live - longer than -city folks. Their deafh rate is much lower. People of all classes and both sexes live longer than they did in 1900. That I8 to say, they 1ive to an older average age. The limit of human life does not seem to have advanced. Women live longer than men. The average white female, at birth, may be expected to live three years longer than the nvemié' male. There are more very old women than very old men, because, when it is a question of survival, the former hold on to life with greater tenacity. Even the boy bables have not nearly 50 good a grip on life as the girl bables. Of 1,000 white male infants born, 127 dlie in the first year. Of 1,000 females, only 105 succumb dur- ing the first twelve months. Notwithstanding hospitals and high- priced doctors, the death rate among bables in the cities is higher than in the rural districts. One reason for this is doubtless bottle feeding. The public health service says that during the first week of life more than four times as many bottle-fed babies die as breast-fed bables. Disillusionment. Into the restaurant she came, With the air of a princess, a truly regal fig- ure clad in brown from top to toe, and looking as if she had just visited a Parisian modiste and a beauty parlor —a perfectly groomed, handsome ‘woman, There was an (air of refinement abeot her. She looked expensively turzed out in the simple, deceptive way. - She seated herself at a table and there were little exclamations of admi- ration and envy from other diners near. A waitress approached. Every one hushed to listen to the beautiful crea- ture speak. In a high-pitched voice she ordered: “Bring me an onion omelet.” It was brought and she ate it with her spoon!
