The same idea, if found successful, could be extended to all the railroad systems of the country. In order to make practical use of the wireless teisphone and the telegraph, adequate ground connection must be es- tablished at recelving or dispatching sta- tions to plck out the correct electrical waves from the atmosphere. Chicken wire is often used to cover a fleld or a network of wires is strung above the station. Dr. Millener proposes to use the network of tracks about the Union Paciffe yards and tracks as his ground circuit. He will give the system a trial within the near future. Dr. Millener has a No Danger in Plan. ““Thereb will be no danger in magnetiz- ing the ralls,” states Dr. Millener. “We may pass a heavy current through the steel, yet a person coming in contact with the rails would never know that a high voltage was passing through the steel. That person would also have a ground connec- tion, so there could be no conduction of electricity from the rail to the person. It is a perfectly safe proposition, Dr. Millener scouts stories from the east to the effect that the wireless telephon has been successtully employed on He says they could not have entirely new idea. Dr. Millener will first try his wireless telephone from a locomotive cab and later install his instrument on & passenger coach. His Instrument have been pleted. If successful he claims that it will | be possible to communicate long distances from a swiftly moving passenger train. Work s now being done on his electric transtormer.

Stopover privileges on all onc-way tlek- ets will be absolutely abolished on all rall- roads operating west of Chieago beginning January 1. This is the ultimatum of rail- ways affiliated with the Western Passen- ger association and it Is further stated that the rule is fronclad and will remain in effeet forever and ever The rule does not apply to round-trip tickets and in no way applies to tourist rates or special tickets. Tourlst tickets are #old wtih stopover privileges included and 50 specified the transportation. Only single trip tickets are affected upon which local rates apply ““The death knell of the stopover privilege is sounded by the roads for many reasons,” stated a pa: representative of the Burlington this morning. “Every little town in the country big enough for its mark on | a raillrond map has sought to have its | burg favored with stopover rights. One town in particular that wanted the priv-| ilege because some other town had it was placed on the list where tickets were good for stopovers. In three months two pas: gers and one dog avalled themselves of the privilege of stopping over at that place. “It is«a nuisance to the road, of little ad- | vantage to the passenger and a source of many woes to the conductor. It is just as easy for the passenger to purehase his | ticket accordingly where local rates apply and he cannot avall himself of speclal rates.” New Union Pacific Line. | Right-of-way for the Unlon Pacific from Northport to Gering has heen definitely settled.

Cough Heaven on Earth Aim of Charity Prof. Lucile Eaves of Nebraska Uni- versity Tells of Ideals of Organized Workers, An unusually able discourse on soclal problems was that of Prof. Lucille Eaves of the department of soclology and politi- cal economy of the University of Nebraska at the Young Men's Christian association last evening when there was introduced by Miss Ida V. Jontz, general secretary of the Associated Charities of Omaha, a training class for soclal workers, Prof. Eaves came to Omaha under the auspices of the Associ- ated Charities' bureau and in her address last evening gave plenty of encouragement and advice to those affiliated or contem- plating affiliation with the movement. In her opening remarks Prof Eaves gave a summary of the assoclated chariMes movement, showing the conditions that existed In England which gave rise to it, and then of its growth in this country. As a result of the movement, she said, there has been brought about social develop- ment and the abolition of social evils. Prof. Eaves then spoke of the need of leadership and illustrated how in the past it was the belief that work along this line should be with a Vview to saving people from hell; now it is possible to make a heaven upon earth. The matter of leader- ship, sald the noted soclal worker, was one of special attraction, in that through it was afforded a pecullar opportunity for obtaining education. The movement, said Prof. Eaves, was a most practical under- taking and one which cannot fail of pur- pose. In closing Prof. Eaves made an emotional appeal for assistance, saying there was always the assurance of defi- nite results. As outlined the purpose of the training class for soclal workers is to give a gen- eral knowledge of organized charity and to give such knowledge as shall create a broader sympathy for the man or woman who is “down and out.” Quick Action for Your Money—You get that by using The Bee advertising columns, Class Rush Fatal to Boy Ray Graham Dies of Fractured Skul!
