Mayor Baker, Commissioner Pier and
Superintendent of Parks Keyser are im
pressed with the value of furnishing;
music In the municipal parks, and it is
expected that even 'more extensive pro
grams will be mapped out for next sea
son. ...c : - - , -
Superintendent Keyser hope to see
the day when each park will have a
bandstand of the 'shell' type, This
would rive the music much greater car
rying: power. .
The Rosarlan band, now filling-' the
park engagement, is at present composed
of 38 performers. Joel B. EUinger, the
conductor, in also a business man. being
manager of the American Wood Work
ing Machinery company. His ambition
is to build up a band of exceptional
merit. ' ; 4 . - '
Boston wUl have opera next winter,
even though the Metropolitan and Chi
cago companies turn the cold shoulder,
according to plana maturing under the
direction of Gaston Borch, composer and
conductor, who was associated with' the
opera company, which gave a very suc
cessful season ' of English opera last
year, writes the Boston correspondent
of Musical America. - r
The operas will be given in English,
but on a better scale than those of last
season : the prices, however, will remain
"popular," from 60 cents to $3. The gen
eral director of the, company is Mr.
Borch, but he' will have the assistance
of two other conductors. The orchestra
Is to number 40, and the chorus 60 mem
bers. Famous and , high price stars,
which some persons mistakenly regard
as the whole opera, will not be obtain
able on a popular price budget, but
Mr. Borch promises that the leading
"roles will be taken by capable singers.
His aim is a good ensemble through
which the hearer will get a correct and
enjoyable idea of the opera. . - -.
. It is stated that permanent members
of the organization will be given an op
portunity to acquire stock In the com
pany, and some will be presented to
members of the chorus who have been
with the company one year. , Purchase
of. stock, however, does not procure ad
mission to either, cast or orchestra for
an applicant who is unqualified on ar
tistic grounds. - - -
Two operas a week will be presented,
with four performances, including a
matinee, of each one. In addition to the
usual standard works, it is planned to
revive two German operas, "Lohengrin"'
and "Hansel and Gretel" (sung In
Hngltsh) and also a number of lighter
operas, like "The Mikado" and "The
Chimes of Normandy.". The bill for each
week will be arranged with the Idea
of' contrasting a serious and a light
work. The first week, for example, will
bring "Carmen and "The Mikado.
Other proposed combinations are : "Trov
atore" and "The Chimes of Normandy" ;
"Tales of Hoffman' and the familiar
double bill, "Cavalleria" and "Pagllac
cl"; "Lohengrin" and "Faust" ; Faust"
and "The Mikado"; "Trovatore" and
The Beggar Student" ; "Hansel and
Gretel". and "Tales of Horfman."
Mrs. Marx E. Oberndorfer of Chicago,
who" has been . appointed the -national
musio chairman of the- General Federa
tion of Women's clubs, will plan and di
rect the musical activities in over 10,000
clubs . in America. Mrs. Oberndorfer
(Anne Shaw Faulkner) is the author of
"What We Hear In Music"; "Music inJ
the Home" and' " Americanization
Songs;" and is co-editor with Frederick
A. Stock in the "Music in the Home
Series" of orchestral compositions. With
her husband, the famous pianist, Mrs.
Oberndorfer has won a national repu
tation as a lecturer on music and for
the Oberndorfer opera muslcales.
Mrs. Oberndorfer believes that the
greatest development . In musio which
the world has ever known is about to
take place in America, and she Is con
fident that the women's clubs are the
most important influence to bring about
this musical renaissance. Mrs. Obern
dorfer plans through the' medium of the
music memory contest in the schools,
the community sings in the churches, de
partment stores, industries, jails and
public Institutions, and by the establish
ment of community music centers, to
make music a vital part of the daily life
in America. Mrs. Oberndorfer declares
that America has the greatest musical
inheritance in the world and that we
shall not always be a nation of "Jaza"
and 'Yagtlme." but are on the thresh-
' old of the establishment of a great
American scnooi or music.

Vatican Choir
Plans Another
American Tour
JVpV YORK. July 24. (I. N. S.)
Xrk Word has been, received from James
Slevln, the impresario, - now In. Rome,
that by special permission of Pope Bene
dict XV the' famous Vatican choir will
be permitted again to tour the United
States. Last year ; the pope, for the
first time in the history of the Vatican,
permitted the choirs .to leave Rome. They
had a limited but triumphant tour of
the United States and Cardinal Gibbons
and other eminent ; churchmen and stu
dents of higher sacred music urged. Mr,
Slevin to retain the choirs in the United
States for additional concerts. This was
Impossible, as the 'choira, were required
In Rome for Important functions, includ
ing the beatification of Saint Joan of
Arc. It is not known at present who will
direct the choir here, Monsignor Casi

Be Patient, Says
Lady! Astor .
WOMAN suffrage can't be judged by
the few elections that have been
held within the last year, declares Lady
Astor. It will take a generation, at least,
before women's cooperation in public af
fairs can : be calculated. Until then
women must educate themselves and
work steadfastly and patiently toward
their goal, which includes not only equal
political rights but a better social body.
Ref orms come slowly. Only" women
can really reconstruct the world. All
women should develop the best within
them, study fearlessly the various issues
at stake and act sincerely for the good
of mankind. ' z
' "I have always felt It was natural for
women to take part in public life. My
political career doe not seem extraor
dinary to me. When my husband was
in the house of commons I worked, for
the same things that he represented."
"Both of us wanted our district to be
one of the best administered fh England
When he left the commons .for the house
of lords, I became a candidate in order
to keep up his work. My presence as
the 4 only woman member may seem
strange to the other members, perhaps,
but not ,to me, for I have ideas that I
wish to see carried Into life, and it is
perfectly natural for me to stand up for
them: V .. - ;
"Women must net try t force the
issue. In political life they must work
for whatever is best for the state.' By
their wisdom In dealing With vital prob
lems they conquer ground f or their own
advancement. The two go hand in hand.
The more educated woman Is. the
better will her Influence be. ; And as her
influence becomes stronger and better,
her rights will increase." ? '

Boy and Banjo
On Front Stoop
Is Much Missed
TTTHAT has become of the old-fash-,VV
ioned boy beg . pardon, we mean
college man who used to- play the
banjo on the front porch of a summer
evening? asks the Ohio State Journal.
Plenty of stringed instruments are still
to be heard, but we miss the particu
lar thwang-thwang that means the
good on$ banjo, and a horrible fear pos
sesses us lest the Hawaiian ukulele, ao
long in vegue, has altogether driven out
Its older American sister. But we hard
ly have the right to call the banjo
American, : since :. its ancestry , goes
farther back ' than we. You remember
Kipling has the banjo lay, "The grand
dam of my grandma was the lyre." and
In the same stanza :
X ths ior of Uf ctwmal. I tha Crook. "
t thf ercrla-tinit troml-r sons of youth.
Possibly, to be perfectly fair, the
banjo is no more closely : related to the
lyre than is the ukulele; but, certainly,
to some of us it does seem to voice the
"wonder song of . youth" : with more
Vigor than the .- sensuous : ukulele. Its
honest plunklngs reflect young Amer
ica better than the lascivious slarrings
of the South seas. We hear the banjo
occasionally In a 'vaudeville or min
strel act, . but that Isn't like having it
played : on the front porch by a boy
with white-trousered legs tossed high
in the air ' and mouth agrin like a
satyr. Good old days of moonlight and
honeysuckle I" . ;
Dancing Grows
In Popularity
TANCINO will increase In popular-
U ity this year. There is not the
slightest indication that it is on the
wane either here or in ' Paris, is the
opinion of Major Cecil H. Taylor, presi
dent of the Imperial. Society of Dancing
Teachers in England. He told the
United Press that the dance v "which
seemed to - attract the Parisian favor
was "the tcheta" a new tango which is
performed to strains of mysUc Hindu
music. .; .. i
"But the tcheta will never; win ny
votes over bere," he declared. . "It is too
stationary. . Half of it consists of arm
movements. ' The 'partners ' face each
other and slowly bring their arms, up
over their heads, and then, like a couple
of ballet dancers take six little tripping
steps to . the right. I catt't . imagine a
self-conscious Englishman or American
doing anything so fanciful in . public
Besides, dancing should be progressive.
"It is impossible for a ballroom full of
dancers to reach the same stage of a
dance at the same time. With the result
that one couple will be standing facing
each other while two others,' coming up
at the back with the pas marche will
collide with them, and so you will find
in various parts of ths ballroom nothing
but a Jumble." - - f '- -
Taylor: mentioned this to the assem
bled French, Spanish, American and
Italian professors and they agreed unan
imously - that the new dances should
have no stationary or retrogressive steps.
"While I was in Paris." said he, "1
visited all the big dancing salons and
there I saw French, American and' Eng
lish dancing together - and I was sur
prised at the facility with- which they
mingled. Never was dancing so grace
ful as it Is today, and all nations seem
to dance the same steps.. All this talk
about 'indecent dances is ridiculous. I
went about looking for something objec
tionableand only saw it once, and that
was in the Washington palace in Paris,
where one of the couples was dancing a
sort of "shimmy" step. And to my mind
that was so indecent, had I been run
ning the dancing hall I should - have
asked them to leave the floor, '
"However, now that dancing has be
come such a general pastime for the
multitude. I think' it is very much in its
fi'vor that such instances of objection
able dance' are so rare." . ;.: J ; .
If heredity counts for anything, when
Taylor talks .about dancing he knows
what he is talking about, for his fathers
and forefathers for five generations
have, presided over the ballroom dancing
in England each in succession having
become president ' of the ? Imperial So
ciety of Dancing Teachers, his great-great-great-great-grandfather
having
been nominated to the post In 175. ;f
The dance which is prophesied ' will
become the rage next season is a some
what slow. : gliding measure in waits
time, "having no dips, no kicks, no halt
and no - retrogressions. It Is calle?

She WillrTell
All of Ball That
Shocks the Pope
WrLL the Princess Michael Murat
(one of the lucky Macdonald Stallo
sisters, you know ths both t married
princes) tell the true story of the Mural
ball,, which is said to have shocked the
pope, when . she returns ' from Rome?
asks Count de Bussy, in an article writ
ten for the Universal Service.
The story went ; the rounds to the
paddock. : and ' before - long - the grand
stand was buzzing with the choicest bit
of rumor Bols-du-Boulogne racegoers
have dissected for a long time. The
racing just happened casually, the rumof
being much more interesting.
Well, anyhow, the Princess Murat is
In Rome. . And she is nobly holding up
her Paris-made reputation there as a
real princess of hostesses, and quite all
the best : families in Rome were thor
oughly converted to American royalty
when it happened.
"It" was the ball. ' Staid, comfortable,
severely conventional - Roman society
sat up that night and 'took notice, ac
cording to the gossip at Longchamps,
where the Princess Murat has the repu
tation of - the best sports-woman In
France. :
And the next morning again giving
the v responsibility, to Rumor several
things happened.
.. First, a very excited and noble per
sonage not ..very . many doorsteps re
moved from the Vatican called and
told the beautiful American princess
that she must never, never, never do
it again. "When in Rome do as the
Romans not ths Parisiennes do, he
told her.
Second, two young princes, one of
them of the House of Savola. which is
the reigning house of Italy, were called
up on the royal carpet. What happened
at the interview nobody , knows, but the
next day the two young princes left
simultaneously in opposite directions
for extended voyages. The royal prince
went to China.
Thafs all the story until th prin
cess returns to Paris and gives ths de
tails. One wnders what they are really do
ing at Newport and Bar Harbor to fill
the villages and garden parties these
days, i As Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont re
marked just before she stepped on board
the Mauretanla homeward bound, "I
never know how many friends I've got
until I drop in for tea at the Bits in
Paris." -
All America seems either to be - here
or just about to arrive, judging from
the hotel registers and the prevailing
language one hears on the Rue de la
Palx. The latest "habitual? to arrive
is General Cornelius Vanderbilt. who is
living at the Crillon, In the room Presi
dent Wilson used to have aa an office,
and who is making a noble effort to
have his friends ""believe he is over here
strictly on business. I noticed him at
Claridge's club the other night, how
ever, looking very well and every inch
a general, with Mrs. Vanderbilt her old
gracious self, in one of those new black-and-white-embroidery
gowns they are
wearing so much in the evening nowa
days. Claridge's club which Isn't reallv
Claridge's club at all, but the "Club
Artistique de Bienfaisance dea Champs
Elysees" is "the" place in town nowa
days. It was started by Andre de Fou
quieres, official Paris sartorial arbiter,
whose mission In life seems to be get
ting up delightful entertainments where
other people never Andre fall - in , love
and become engaged.
He started his club, which - is held
in the ballroom at Claridge's, owing to
the police restrictions on late dancing.
The committee of membership is com
posed entirely of ladies, with Andre as
a sort of umpire with a "Tout Paris'
in one hand and a social i register In
the other. To be ! a member one has
to be introduced by two lady members
and put up at three successive elections,
whereat one's antecedents are dissected
painstakingly and thoroughly that's
how exclusive it Is.
The - committee is ; composed of the
Duchess d'Aven, the Countess de Monte
belle, Countess de Dreux, Princess la
Tour d'Auvergna,. Mrs. Lecke. Mrs. Ern
est Mallet and a few others of equal
prominence, and up to date only a few
Americans have managed to squeeze by.
Captain - Johnny Wlnslow, attache at
the U. S, . embassy, is there, of course,
and so is A. N. Pry an, another of Mr.
Wallace's young men. Mr.; and Mrs.
Berry; Wail are there every night, usu
ally ..with a party of guests, while the
other night I noticed, Ralph Lambton
getting awfully chummy with the Ma
harajah of Kapurthala, who has been
voted a jolly good sport by the Ameri
cans because he is the only Oxford
trained man ever known to admit that
baseball ' is "almost . as Interesting as
cricket, you know." ,
Then . there's Mrs. Douglas Stuart,
and the Princess de Fauci gny, and
Baron and Baroness R.. de Rothschild,
who, by the way, are talking about an
American tour this summer ; Frank Otis,
who is creating quite a reputation for
the number of new trot steps he has
invented; Mortimer Singer and a. dozen
or" so more. :

Wales5 Wife May
Be Commoner
x '
TMrE prince Is not officially en
JL gaged," the denial unwittingly
given by Princess Mary to the frequent
unfounded reports of her brother's im
pending marriage.
During an automobile run through the
New Forest with Lady Shaftesbury, the
princess stopped at a countryside inn for
tea. On the wall of the parlor was a full
length portrait of the Prince of Wales,
and the landlady.' unaware of her vis
itors Identity, said while serving tea:
i "It is high time that a young man got
married.
"There have been girls the prince
would like to be engaged to." the prin
cess replied, "but "he cannot marrry with
out his parents' consent." :
The reference was understood to be to
certain girls Wales met while in Amer
ica, and also to various debutantes in
exclusive English society circles. It is an
open secret at Buckingham palace that
the king and queen are not prejudiced
against girls not of royal blood and that
as far -as they are concerned the con
sort's throne might next be occupied by
a commoner's daughter; but ducal and
baronial family , heads strongly object
to seeing their girls occupy the position
of "leading lady of the land." partly be
cause on all ceremonial occasions their
queen-daughter would take precedence
J over them. -

Instead of hanging men for stealing

In tiat year I went to work for the
Jerry Steuart outfit southwest of San
Antonio in WHson county and perceived
no romantic glamor in the i work of
chasing cattle and calves out of heavy
brush in the hills northwest of San An
tonio on the headwaters of Joshua creek
where the Steuarts had several hundred
head of cattle running. "Runhlng" was
the right word, for those creatures could
run like deer and were wild and self
willed. ' We found- steers nearly 2 years
old unbranded and the Steuart "crown
S" was slapped , on many over a year
Old. .'..'.. I ' :....." ' .:
Jerry Steuart claimed to be a direct
descendant of King James of England
and bad a rough saw-like line above the
yS" which was supposed to represent a
crown. : It was- hinted that its main
value -lay, In the fact that it tould be
Wobbled, around a little and obliterate
any small and not well marked brand,
but nobody dared say that to Jerry Steu
art's face if he valued bis life above 50
per cent.
SAW TROUBLE AHEAD
In the early fall we came back to the
Steuart ranch, which was a collection of
log houses, the residence of the family
being larger than the others, with a big
Porch in front and floors of "joined
lumber." : ''r-r,
When we had been back to the main
ranch several days and had cut out
and driven to the San Antonio cattle
yards the beef animals and others here
and there for pasture and feed through
the winter, Jerry One morning called or
the seven men remaining to -go with him
to harvest the corn in the far corner of
the west field. Now, cowboys were not
in the habit of doing such work. ' There
were a score of big, healthy Afro-America-
on the ranch who did such
jobs.: Ther might have been some pro
test, for the Texas cowboy was quick
to resent imposition, especially with sev
eral months' pay coming and San An
tonio so pear. But Jerry grinned pleas
antly and suggested that each man
"tote his sixes along.
West ; of the Steuart domains lay the
McBee possessions. : The McBee outfit
was fully as strong and the tribe as
numerous as the Steuarts. A line feud
had , existed since before the Mexican
war and the more surveys that were
made and the more "court doing," the
worse and more tangled the whole con
tention ! became -: ' A line had been run
through the townships north and south
with a t Jog in it of several rods from
that of the old hit-and-miss line some
pioneer I of 1838 bad run. I afterwards
understood the principle on which sur
veys make these J-ga, which is to keep
the township lines six miles apart as
nearly as possible, as otherwise they tend
to come, together and the sections and
townships to grow less, since if 25,000
of the section lines a mile apart on the
equator were all run -straight north to
the north pole they would all be together
there and sections half way would have
but 320 acres in them Instead of 640, .'
THOUGHT THET WERE JOBBED
But the Steuart and : McBee. tribes
knew nothing of such ' Yankee scientific
"foolishness" and the Steuarts held that
the McBee people had got . the : Yankee
surveyor last authorized by . the courts
to run the new line so as to cut out of
the Steuart corn 4ands several acres of
fertile soil cleared and leveled at con
siderable cost in labor in times gone by.
f So we went down to the "fur west cor
ner" to harvest the corn In the field
where Steuart had planted and the Mc
Bees claimed ' the land. When we got
there the McBees had already harvested
about half the corn upon the disputed
property and had it piled up with sev
eral men standing around it. X was sent
forward on horseback to report on how
much corn they had gathered.,: I after
wards learned that this was a ticklish
and dangerous mission, but at the time
saw nothing to it- A quiet and middle
aged stranger of the McBee outfit lev
eled a double-barreled shotgun at me
and advised me not to go any farther.

case he happened to miss me a little.
HE SELDOM' MISSED
X was not aware that this man was a
McBee and that he hadn't missed many
times. However, one of his numerous
cousins reached for his gun and told
him not to start, anything before the
boss started it; that I wasn't a Steuart.

Fred vthat just hired out to the Steu
arts" and had nothing to do with the
fuss. -;:,":....."
Thanking him for his. kindly remarks,
with a sweep of my hat X turned to ride
back to my group, when I suddenly
wheeled and blandly inquired if that
shotgun was loaded. The McBee bunch
roared in laughter and . advised me not
to tfy to find out-
The two outfits came-closer together
and 'Steuart rode out and claimed that
corn pile and ordered - the McBee men
out of the field. Then ensued the ever
lasting talk and stream . of profanity,
eachWde defying the other. It looked
every minute as , if somebody would
start some'thlng, and I pulled my Win
chester from the saddle, as did several
ef the others. At last I grew tired of
the fuss and. getting off my horse, eat on
an upturned bucket while Steuart and
the eldest McBee engaged in reciting a
history of Southwestern Texas, . .
THINGS GSOW H58E
' Things were getting quits tense and
it looked as if a battle was to be
fought around that pile of unshucked
corn, worth about 3. We had all drawn
close to It during the controversy, and
the "defi" from the McBees was re
peatedly ' made to advance another: foot
Some of the McBees were vale In the
face. The nephew of Jerry Steuart was
standing by his uncle with a pistol in
his hand, but held toward the ground.:"
I was figuring out a plan to drop be
hind my horse and to shoot him in his
tracks to serve as a breastwork -If fir
ing began when, ambling down the dusty
road In a swaying old buggy drawn by
a yellow mustang mare, a big brown
colt trailing along behind, came Elder
House,' -..-.,..:.' '"'."-:'
"Hold-on a minute, gentlemen." called
out the elder. "I got somethln' I wanter
read to ye," and the elder flopped out
of his rig and climbed, over the fence as
he made his way toward the crowd of
men. .. '' .:. .. - -'-.:"'-"
Now. 1 the elder- was the Campbellite
preacher and highly respected by every
body, for miles around. , He preached
every month at the Rabbit Hill school
house near the Steuart ranch and alter
nately at the Post Oak schoolhouse near
the McBee homestead eight miles south
west, or thereabouts. His age was be
ginning to tell on him. and his eyes were
falling. His hair was yet streaked" with
black and his once tall form was bent
a little, but he could straighten up to
a most commanding presence at times.
When he reached the group, he looked
at the men with kindly glances. He saw
the revolvers and the guns. He knew
the controversy without any words.
The elder dropped to his knees in : the
soft ground between the trampled corn
stalks and said : "Let us pray." He
prayed and we said "Amen." Some of
the converted members' - of ; the church
knelt in the dust with him and others
stood with bowed heads. Ho then read
from his pocket Bible a chapter or two.
ELDER GOT CORJT ;
"' "Gentlemen," said JSlder House In
quiet tones, as he wrped his forehead
with & rather dirty-looking blue hand
kerchief and replaced his hat- -This
corn isn't worth fussing overw Give it
to me. . X will need it this winter to keep
my mare and colt. The Lord has willed
that I should corns along here and take
It at this time. Blessed be the name of
the Lord." ' .
And the 'elder gathered the corn and
no one said him nay. : ;;
' But that Is not the end of the mat
ter. Two years afterwards ths same
crowd with three exceptions met on that
same ground and . started a fight - that
ended in fbur men being killed in less
than that many minutes. One was an
outsider, like myself, and - one . was a
younger Steuart Whom I had never met.
I was not there, perhaps fortunately. I
inquired of. the friend to whom I wrote
where Elder House was. and he replied,
"Elder House is in Heaven. If he had
been there I doubt not with the power
of God he could have stopped it as he
did before."

PUBLISHERS RESPONSIBILITY
Our association has pointed out to the
publishers that It was not fair to their
readers to permit the use of their col
umns by any swindling advertiser. The
presence of the fake advertisement is the
same as if the publisher had given a
card of intt-odtuftinn in t. u. ,i .
he may present it to the reader. We
nave ajso snown the publisher that the
placing of fraudulent advertising along
side honest announcements was not fair
to these legitimate firms which patron
ise his paper. The publisher was shown
that the reader nf hie man ,k
Inveigled and swindled through the ad-
CTUBins musi naturally mistrust all
advertising , to some extent thereafter.
That weakens the nuliine-
paper and certainly does not encourage
oum aaveruaers lo increase their
space. .
Now. the publishers In ths past looked
upon the paper as a carrier only with no
assumed responsibility for the protection
of either reader- or honest advertiser.
Times have changed. Publishers have
realised their duty and responsibility.
And they have responded nobly in the
rejection, censoring or correction of un
truthful or misleading advertising.
Practically-all publishers have lent a
helping hand in the crusade. But there
is still much to be done, A constant
vigil must be kept. The avenues of ad
vertising must be regularly patrolled,
I am pleased to learn that one Port
land tltwsDaMr. Ths Orrn .liktrniil v, .
closed Its columns to so-called medical
advertising. That Is a step In the right
direction. - - ,
.COMMUNITY PROFIT '
It has been clearly shown In this talk,
I believe, that there Is a cash drawer
value In the truth in advertising move
ment, to. publisher, to retailer, to whole
saler and to manufacturer. Now, how
about its value te the community?
Through cleaning Op advertising by min
imising that which' is untruthful or
fraudulent And by correcting - unfair
practlees, the crusade helps to make the
advertising in a city more believable and
more believed ; and this tends toward
building confidence irt a community as
aJ trading center,
lt me sound a note of warning. : If
the men engaged in legitimate business
do not band together in this campaign Of
education and moral suasion, If they do
not first put their house in order as re
gards their advertising, if they do not
use every means to eliminate the crooks
and fakers who fleece the people, con
gress may in the very near future en
aet a law to protect the public "And
that laW will be inquisitorial that we
the very men who could have made its
enactment unnecessary will have reason
to regret that we failed to clean up the
situation in time. ,
If no other reason can actuate men in
furthering this great work, let It be re
membered : that every dollar gained by
the fraudulent advertiser is a dollar
diverted from legitimate and worthy enterprise.

Wireless Makes
Flying Perilous,
Scientists Decide
IT WAS electrical wireless waves that
caused the fire which sent a dirigible
flaming earthward in the heart of Chi
cago's business section in the beginning
of this year, according to new discov
eries by French savants.
These scientists say that the develop

air a dangerous place to fly around in.
Not only that, but explosions on earth
which' have until now remained deep
mysteries have, it is asserted, been due
to the same cause millions of volts cf

Among the disasters directly attributed
to wireltMia, besides the Chicago acvldeu:,
are the following: -Kxplosion

it is asserted ; but when Ihf y are strong

that this may be the reason for the ab

"In wireless, man Is toying with a
force the extent of which Is only just
beginning to be understood," says an ex
pert, writing In the Petit Parislen. "It
is of the utmost Importance that the
danger be studied and a means found to
avert It, or the world fnay one day be
confronted with a disaster 'of suoh pro
