Wireless Telephone.
New York, Oct 16.—As s re-
sult of the success of the experi-
ment of Sept 29, by which the
voice wqs carried over land tele-
phone wires from New York to
Arlington, Virginia, and there,
as if from the loose ends of the
copper strands, projected into
the ether to be carried across
plains, mountain ranges land
deserts to be picked up by other
wires and carried to waiting ears
at a telephone at Mare Island,
California, it is now stated that
the bounds for telephone commu-
nication, may be made almost
world wideji
By the simple installation of
apparatus it will be possible to
span the Atlantic and talk to
Europe. As the voice is carried
by land wires and then automati-
cally transmitted to a wireless
transmitter, people living far in-
land, may actually converse with
passengers at sea in ships. Hon-
olulu is within call. It is not
even beyond the bounds of pos-
sibility that some day soon con-
versations may pass between
New York and Tokio, Japan.
The wireless telephone experi-
ment waa^acroes the American
continent, thence to Hawaii.
Government radio towers on the
Atlantic and Pacific were utilized
in the accomplishment. Radical-
ly new ideas were applied to gen-
erally accept wireless principles
and the results have been at-
tested by the The United States
Government.
lutersdiolastic League Debate
University of Texas, Oct 20.—
The subject for debate in the
University Interscholastic Lea-
gue for 1915*16. is “Resolved,
that a constitutional tax of one
mill, equitably apportioned, should
be levied for the support of the
state institutions of higher edu
cation in Texas, and that supple-
mentary appropriations by thd’
legislature should be prohibited.”
A compilation of references
upon this subject and also se-
lected arguments on both sides
of the question fill a pamphlet
issued as a free bulletin by the
Extension Department of the
University of Texas. The ques-
tion being a live issue in the
state, sufficient copies of the bul-
letin were printed to take care
of the demand not only in the
schools where the question will
be debated, but also of the re-
quests of general readers who
are trying to keep posted on pub-
lic questions.
One hundred and thirty-one yean
ago the balloon, a French invention
of that time, gave an unpleasant feel-
ing of insecurity to England, which,
however, has had to wait for actua
overhead invasion until the Zeppelin,
the air-monster of today, appeared
The fear was even then entertained
that this French invention might be
used by the natural enemies of the i
British race. A British caricature is
mentioned in Chambers’ Book of
Days as having been published in
1784, entitled “Montgolfier in the
Clouds, Constructing Air-Balloons
for the Grand Monarque.” The
grand monarque was then not Louis
XIV, but Louis XVI. In this the
French inventor is represented
blowing soap bubbles and saying:
“Oh, by Gar, dis be de grand inven-
tion. Dis will immortalize my king,
my country, myself. We will declare*
the war against our enemies. We
will make des English wake, by Gar.
We will inspect their camp, we will
intercept their fleet, we will set fire
to their dockyards, and by Gar, we,
will take Gibraltar in de air-balloon;
anda when we have ctmquer de Eng-
lish, den we conquer de other coun-
trie, and make them all colonie to de
Grand Monarque.”
WEST SUFFERS FROM WAR
" -vl j
Little Children Excite the Sympathy
of Those Who Know the Situa- 1
tion in France.
Of all those who suffer by the war
none make a more immediate appeal
to the sympathies than the little chil-
dren left alone in the world. -
The Committee Franco-American
for the Protection of the Children of
the Frontier has already done noble
work, under the direction of Mrs.
Bliss, wife of the secretary of the
American embassy at Paris, and Mr.
A. F. Jaccaci, the artist-author,
whose “On the Trail of Don Quix-
ote” is well remembered. The treas-
urer is Frederic R. Coudert
One hundred and twenty-five chil-
dren, little ones like those who were
rescued from the reglftb of Belfort,^
have been saved from parts of Alsace
recently conquered by French troops,
Ypree and other Flemish towns dev-
astated by months of artillery fire.
Shelter has been found for them
in convents and institutions that are!
providing a roof, but are so sadly im-
poverished that the children must go,
unfed unless food can be secured'
through others. The little ones are
living on 15 cents a day.

If you want to organize a socie-

Boll Weevil Dispersion.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.
The unusual storms of August
and very rapid multiplication of
the boll weevil ip Texas have re-
sulted in a tremendous movement
into northwestern Texas and Ok-
lahoma. This movement is prob
ably not yet completed, nor has
it been entirely mapped out The
indications are that over half of
the State of Oklahoma is now in-
fested. . Information has just
been received that the boll wee-
vil is at Vernon in Wilbarger
County, Texas, and at Cache in
Comanche County and Minco in
the extreme northern party of
Grady County^ Oklahoma. Un-
less immediate measures are tak-
en by the planters throughout
Oklahoma and northwestern
Texas it can be expected that
the boll weevil will do some dam-
age next year.
Tne Bureau of Entomology ad-
vises that the planters through-
out Oklahoma and the supposed-
ly infected sections of Texas be-
gin immediately to pick their
cotton and destroy the pleats.
By destroying the plants the de-
veloping weevils will be killed
Two methods of destruction are
available. If the plants can be
plowed under to 4 or 5 inches
this is the most desirable method
of/ procedure, otherwise they
should be stacked in windrows I*
and burned as soon as dry.
After destroying the plants
preparation should her made for
a winter coven cropland for a ro-
tation of crops n4xt year.
The weevil has maintained its
position in Arkansas and has
probably extended its area a lit-
tle farther north in the western
sections. The entire State of
Mississippi is infested, and the
weevil is now known to be in Me-
Nairy and Hardin counties, Tenn.
Tennessee planters along the en-
tire southern border should take
the same precautions that have
been recommended to Oklahoma
planters.
Probably only four or five
counties in the mountainous sec-
tions of northeastern Alabama
will escape infestation by the
boll weevil this year. Over thir-
ty counties in western Georgia
are already known to be infested
and there is no doubt but that
five more will be recorded soon.
Planters in Georgia and Alabama,
whether in infested - counties or
not,Bhould take immediate meas-
ures to destroy the cotton stalks,
and prepare the fields for winter
cover crops.
