DATA SHOW RISE OF FOOD COSTS AMER IN
VOL. 36. NO. 38
Startling Increases in Prices Revealed by Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Potatoes and Sugar Increase Considerably in Price Since January—Corn Flakes Only Article to Hold Firm.
Washington—Startling increases in prices of some foodstuffs in the year of 1919, from January 1919 to January, 1920—an increase of 120 per cent in onions, for instance, and recorded in a chart prepared by Royal Meeker, commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor, which is published in the Monthly Labor Review, official publication of the department.
The chart, which appears upon casual observation to be an illustration of the sun's rays or an optical vision, is found upon close inspection to be hardly so harmless an apparition.
Forty-one articles of everyday food were kept track of for the year, retail prices for various cities in the country being recorded. It was found that twenty-five of these forty-one articles had increased in price; the others in the main showed decreases, only one article, package corn flakes, holding firm for a year.
Onions a Strong Climber.
The humble onion—which, despite its humbleness is the base of many foods prepared by the poorer of the foreign families—sold for 4.1 cents on Jan. 15, 1919; a year later the price recorded is 9 cents, an increase of 120 per cent.
Cabbage was next in line with a 98 per cent ascent, while the other foods which showed an upward trend, with their percentage of increases, were: Potatoes, 69; granulated sugar, 68; raisins, 53; prunes, 47; coffee, 41; rice, 31; flour (wheat), 28; rolled oats, 18; canned salmon, 16; bananas, 11; ooligaramine and strictly fresh eggs, 10; bread, 8; fresh milk and corn meal, 6; hens, butter, 5; evaporated milk, storage eggs, 4; lard, macaroni, 2; lamb, tea, 1.
Hurrah! Beans Are Cheaper.
The articles which showed a decrease and the percentage of decreases recorded were: Navy beans, 11; plate beef, 28; bacon, 14; canned tomatoes, 11; chuck roast, baked beans, 10; pork chops, 8; ham, canned corn, 6; round steak, 5; roast oil, 4; cheese, canned peas, 2; sirloin steak, oranges, 1.
And sugar have increased considerably in price, especially in Chicago, since January, so that the present comparative figures on those two items would show appreciably larger percentages of Increases now than the federal record shows for January of this year.
Another tabulation in the same bulletin lists percentage of price since 1913, the high lights of which are 101 per cent increase for pork chops, 102 for lard, 107 for hen, 121 for lard, 123 for strictly fresh eggs, 143 for storage eggs, 45 for wheat flour, 120 for corn meal, and, but by no means least, a 238 increase in potatoes and a 207 raise in granulated sugar. There were no items showing a decrease for that period.
GERMANY BUYS STATE ROADS
Berlin Regime Pays 40,000,000,000 Marks for the Federated States Railways.
Berlin—Forty billion marks ($10,000,000,000 prewar value) is involved in the government's purchase of the Federated States railways, which has been approved by the national assembly. The annual interest incurred in the nation's huge investment is estimated at 14,000,000 marks ($4,750,000 prewar value).
The government is not oversanguine with respect to early returns from the investment, in view of the dislapsed condition of the railways, the delayed output from repair shops and continued demands by the men for wage increases.
Doctor Bell, minister of transport, described in the national assembly the transaction as one of the most gigantic effort affected by any parliament. The minister added that more than a million employees of the railways will be on the government pay roll. He admitted that the government had to pay heavily for a final settlement with the various states.
Tom Cat as Security
St. Joseph, Mo.—A mortgage filed with the register of deeds at Stockton, Mo., to secure a debt of $48 includes as security one black tom cat, with white feet, named Tom. As no descriptions were listed with the other articles pledged, it is evident the cat was considered the most valuable part of the security by the mortgagee.
Proof of Mallee Required.
Raleigh, N. C.-Newspapers. In North Carolina in publishing attacks on public officials cannot be penalized for libel unless the state proves malice, according to a recent decision of the North Carolina supreme court. The court holds that public policy confers a qualified privilege of discussion and criticism of public officials.
AMERICANS ABROAD IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away Enthusiastic Members of the "Fourteenth" Division.
Among the most enthusiastic and energetic members of the American Red Cross are those citizens of the United States who live outside the continental boundaries of their country—sons and daughters of the Stars and the Sailors, residing at the far corners of the earth.
These people compose the Inns and Foreign Division of the parent organization, generally known as the "Fourteenth" Division, which has jurisdiction of all territory outside the country proper; that is, Alaska, Porto Rica, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the Philippines, Guam, and even the island of Yap, which came under our flag as a result of the world war. For the year, 1920 this division reported 80,808 paid on members.
The main object of this division is to give our citizens everywhere the opportunity to participate in the work of the organization which stands-for the best national ideals. Americans in far places intensely loyal and patriotic, treasure their membership in the Red Cross as the outward expression of their citizenship. It is another tie to the homeland and to each other. There are chapters of this division in Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, Chile, Costa Rica, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil, Guam, Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Forto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered members of the Red Cross contributed millions in money, and millions of dollars' worth of necessary articles for the men in service, and sent many doctors and nurses to France. At the same time they carried on an excellent Home Service in their respective areas, and many who had gone to war, and in some regions gave large sums of money and immeasurable personal service to the relief of disaster and disease victim. The division is now establishing service clubs in foreign ports for the benefit of sailors in the American Merchant Marine, making plans to aid Americans in trouble in foreign lands and completing arrangements for giving adequate relief in case of disaster. It is the Fourteenth Division's part in the great Peace Time program of the American Red Cross.
RED CROSS ASSISTS DISABLED VETERANS
The American Red Cross is carrying on a wide program of service for the disabled World War veterans receiving treatment in United States Public Health hospitals, and those being trained through agencies of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. In each of the Public Health Service hospitals Red Cross workers devote their time to the general welfare of the patients, and when they enter the receiving ward until they are discharged. After the soldier's discharge the Red Cross continues its friendly service through the Home Service Section in his own community. The Red Cross maintains a convalescent house at all of the hospitals, where patients can amuse themselves after they are well enough to be up and around. Parties and picture shows in the wards are also furnished, with occasional excursions when convalescence comes. The Home Service has been rendered by the Red Cross in mental cases in identifying those who have appeared in state hospitals for the insane, and helping them secure compensation due from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. In the Federal Board's various district offices the Red Cross worker, acting with the Home Service Section, makes necessary loans to the men, arranges suitable living conditions, helps collect evidence and supply facts to the men, and helps to settle various personal difficulties for the men. The workers also follow up and aid all men who discontinue training.
The Red Cross agents find men "fear" to the Board, help clear up delayed cases and aid the college counselors in their friendly work with the men. Many Red Cross chapters have set up recreation facilities, and in some instances living clubs, so these victims of war may have attractive surroundings and the fun which must go with effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute for the Blind near Baltimore, MD, more than half of all the Americans blinded in the World War have come for training. The Institute, through the Red Cross, long ago conducted an exhaustive industrial survey to determine the vocations for which blind men could be fitted. As a result it is putting forth well trained men equipped to meet the social, civic and economic requirements of their respective communities.
Aid for Spanish Red Cross.
The Iberian chapter of the American Red Cross, composed of Americans resident in Spain, has just contributed $480 to a fund being raised by the Spanish Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Societies for the purpose of fighting malaria.
THE APPEAL.
ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 18, 1920
COAST TO COAST AIR MAIL LINE
Government Officials Plan to Have Service in Operation Soon.
Planes Will Carry Letters From New York to San Francisco in 38 Hours — Lay Routes on the Crow Filen.
Washington — Uncle Sam will soon have an air mail route from New York to San Francisco. Congress has just increased the aerial appropriation to $1,415,000, an increase for the 1920-21 fiscal year of $684,500, to be used for this project. This will mean that soon it will be possible to mail a letter in New York at 6 p. m. Saturday and get it to San Francisco by 8 a. m. Monday. By rail the same letter could get there more than 8 a. m. Wednesday, more likely Tuesday. The postage will be 2 cents. To send a fifty-digit message through our costs $47.0, a night letter $18.0, or a ten-word straight message $1.50. At the same time, Uncle Sam will make a profit on the letter.
The air mail routes already established are from New York to Philadelphia; New York to Cleveland, with a stop at belfonte Pa, Cleveland to with a stop at Bryan, Ohio. Chicago to Omaha, with a stop at Iowa City.
As the Crow Fills
The route is going as straight as a crow can fly toward the coast. With the new appropriation at an early date the route will be extended from Omaha to Cheyenne, to Salt Lake City or Ogden, to Reno, to Sacramento and to San Francisco.
The first branch route will run from Chicago to St. Louis, which service is to be inaugurated as soon as the factory delivers the planes, which have been ordered for some time. In due time, when appropriations are made, this line will be extended on south to New Orleans.
At the present time twin motor DeHavliands and single motor DeHavliands, capable of carrying 690 and 400 pounds of mail, respectively, are being used. They will be transferred to new routes and Martin and Thomas Morse plane, 1,500-pound capacity, especially built for mail service, will be purchased by New York-Cleveland and Cleveland-Chicago air mail business is growing by leaps and bounds, despite the fact that it is carried for the same rate as other mail. The experiment has been so successful that Postmaster General Burleson looks eagerly to the time when all first-class mail will be carried by airplanes.
"An airplane can put a cumbersome mall-distributing coach out of business," is the way one aerial mail division attache expressed it. "Several of these distributing coaches have been eliminated between Washington and New York. The airplane simply carries the mail, from the south, destined for New York, from Washington on. It arrives in New York early enough to be distributed at the postoffice to the carriers for the day's delivery.
New York to Chicago in Nine Hours.
Mall leaving New York at 8:30 a.m.
a. by air reaches Cleveland at 12
noon eastern time (8:30 p.m. by rail);
Chicago at 9:30 a.m. (by rail);
the 4th to the capital at 9 a.m. mares
leaving New York at 9 a.m. mares
Washington at 11:36 a.m. a. and by rail
it arrives at the capital at 3 p.m.
Five Martin planes have been delivered
to the government. They cost
about $40,000 each. Four 1,500-pound
capacity Thomas Morse planes are
being constructed, and when they are
delivered the Chicago-St. Louis branch
will be established.
The postoffice department now has
forty-five planes and twenty-five飞
yers. When the routes are extended to
the coast it will have eight planes.
Since the service was started May 15,
1918, six pilots have been killed.
There are forty-two letters to the
pound. A Martin or Thomas Morse
plane can carry mail on which $1,200
ordinance is being issued to the
staffing the stimulant the supl
service offers to persons to send lett
ers special delivery. All special mall
is supposed to go by the quickest
means. The extra profit to Uclem
Sam in a special is 2 cents, the boy
on the bicycle receiving 8 cents for
delivering it. This would make the
gross revenue for 1,500 pounds of
special delivery mail $2,520.
Magpies Attack Cattle
Deadwood, S. D.—Reports from the Limestone district of the northern Black hills, say magpies prove a real menace to the live stock. Magpies prefer fresh meat to carrion and when carcasses of dead animals are not to be obtained will attack sheep and cattle. It is said that hundreds of these miniature vultures will circle in the air and then alight on the animal in hundreds and ferociously eat holes in the most tender places.
Finish of a Monkey Faced Owl.
Bardstown, Ky.—A fine specimen of the monkey faced owl was killed here in a battle with crow. It measured 10 inches in length and bright golden plumage mottled with gray, its eyes being surrounded with long silky feathers of white.
Noted Italian Engineer Uses 50 Tons of Explosives and 1,200 Bombs in Undertaking.
Rome.-Don Gelasio Caetani, a brother of Prince Caetani, the American trained engineer who laid the mine which blew off the top of the mountain Col di Lana during the war, burying hundreds of Australian soldiers beneath it, has just dynamited a canal into existence from Lake Capriola Mediterranean sea.
The warship by direction of the prince, which was as the duke of Sermoneta, heads the Roman Campagna and Terrarica, a region which the prince has labored for years to reclaim. On the seabors of this strange volcanic region there are three lakes or lagoons, called Fogliano, Monad and Caprolace, communicating with each other, into which at high tide all kinds of fish find their way, remaining there to breed and fatten for the Roman market, to which every day some ten to forty hundred-weight are shipped.
Only one, that of Fogliano, is directly connected with the sea, and in order to unite that of Caprolace with the neighboring Mediterranean, and to greatly increase the number of fish, Prince Caetani decided to explore a series of mines so as to form a canal between this lake and the sea.
The undertaking took fifty tons of explosives and 1,200 large bombs, or five times as much as was required to destroy the mountain top. It was successful, opening a channel to the sea.
'SEND US OIL,' FRANCE APPEAL
Twice President Wilson Saved Country From Grave Danger, It Is Shown.
Paris—Importations of oil would be subjected to government control and oil would be sold in France at prices fixed by the cabinet under the terms of a section of the tax bill being considered in the chamber of deputies. The limited monopoly in oil now held by the government would be extended, until the first of the years.
many years, or next year.
Discussion of the proposal in the chamber this week has brought out the fact that France was in a period during the war of a shortage of fuel and lubricating oils and that Premier Clermenceau had to appeal directly to President Wilson on two occasions.
Profits on oil imported during the war were very large, it was charged, and there was sharp criticism of the Standard Oil company and the British Shell corporation in this connection.
"Crocodile" Eggs Cause Rush for Antidote.
London—Practical jokers find the English easy prey. A large number of persons, mostly women, in Newcastle were hoaxed by a stranger who started the report that eggs of a peculiar color, which had been sold over the week-end in local shops, for 5 cents apiece, were crocodile eggs from Egypt, and poisonous.
The only cure for those having eaten the eggs, he said, was pepermint, and there was a rush for the city drugstores. One chemist was visited by fifty women who would not leave until they had each been given a dose of pepermint. The eggs came from Denmark.
1,500 DOG TEAMS PASS POST
832 Men Sheltered at Manitoba Stopping Place During the Past Winter.
The Pas, Manitoba—Sixteen hundred freight teams and, 1,500 dog teams passed a stopping place at Rocky lake during the winter, according to the landlord of the stopping place.
This is the main trail to Flin-Flon mine. The landlord, Sam Cook, an Indian war veteran, adds that 832 men stopped with him overnight. He collects 25 cents from each team that puts up there and 25 cents from each traveler who eats there. Sam furnishes the dishes, water and fire only, and his wife looks after these items while Samuel garners in the fees.
If there is any grub left the musher usually leave it for their host, and in this way his expenses for feeding himself, wife, two children and a tribe of relatives are kept down materially.
Yes, It Was a "Strad."
Parrottville, Tenn.—H. C. Blazer found an old violin in the garret of his home here, where it had been undisturbed for half a century. He found it in a fireplace and displayed it in 1712. Dust had covered the name on the inside. Blazer doesn't know how the violin came into his family's possession.
No Harps and Viols for Her.
Princeton, Ind.—Mrs. Johanna Tibbets wants band music at her funeral, "I like band music," she says, "and I like it loud." She has just celebrated her ninety-ninth birthday. Hundreds visited her to offer congratulations.
MANY PUNISHED UNDER FOOD ACT
Government Loses But One Out of 50 Cases Prosecuted In Federal Courts.
ADULTERATION IS CHARGED
Use of Spoiled Tomatoes in Canning Is Basal of Ten Cases—Misbranding of Vinegar Results in Fing of $400.
Washington—Fifty food and drug cases are reported as having been terminated in the federal courts in a recent service and regulatory announcement supplement of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture. The charges of the government were upheld in the cases, but in one seizure action the decision of the court was in favor of the claimant of the goods.
Ten actions were based on the adulteration of tomato products, such as catus puree, pulp, paste, and the like. The most frequent charge was that of decomposition resulting from the use of molten or rotten tomatoes in preparing the products. The specialists of the bureau of chemistry have given a great deal of attention to the improvement of tomato products. Not only have a large number of prosecutions and seizures been made, but experimental work and educational campaigns have been conducted to aid in the developing methods to eliminate all spoiled tomatoes. There has been a marked improvement in the quality of such products, packers, either as the result of carelessness or from a deliberate disregard to the requirements of the law, still occasionally use tomatoes unit for food.
Eleven Actions on Stock Feed
LIVER ACTIONS ON STOCK FEED.
Stock feed made from cottonseed meal or cake was the basis of eleven actions, the most frequent charge being of misbranding, because of statements in the labels claiming a higher percentage of protein than was actually present in the feed. Since the percentage of protein present in a stock feed is one of the factors in fixing the price, the form of misbranding results in the feed being sold for a higher price than its feeding value warrants. It is also misleading to the stock raiser in determining a proper feeding ration.
Canned salmon was the basis of four seizures. Spoilage of the salmon was the charge in each seizure.
In three of the cases the court ordered the salmon destroyed, while in one case the salmon was released for use in the manufacture of fertilizer. Investigations have shown that some cannisters of salmon do not always take proper sanitary methods in putting up their product. Studies by the specialists of the bureau of chemistry to improve the methods of packing salmon in order to prevent contamination are under way.
Fined for Misbranded Vinegar.
Other prosecutions and seizures covered, by the notices of judgment, include a shipment of sardines which were destroyed, because they consisted in part of filth, decomposed, and putrid animal matter, and three shipments of olive oil adulterated with cottonseed oil. An artificial vinegar labeled as elder vinegar resulted in the party responsible for the violation being fined $400. One shipper who failed to appear to defend himself on the charge of adding water to milk was fined $200 and costs. A shipment of milk from which part of the butter fat had been extracted resulted in the party responsible being fined $10 and costs. A plea of no contender was made in answer to the charge by the government of shipping frozen eggs composed partly of filth, decomposed, and putrid animal matter and a fine of $0 imposed by the court. A shipment of decomposed apple butter was destroyed. Two shipments of sapped ripe lima beans, which were sold as green lima beans were seized, as was a shipment of gelatin consisting partly of gus and containing copper and zinc.
Seven actions under the food and drugs act were based on the charge of adulteration and misbranding of proprietary medicines. Fines ranging from $10 to $100 were imposed in these cases, the charge being in the main that there were false and fraudulent claims as to the curative powers of the preparations. Three prosecutions were based on the misbranding or adulteration of mineral waters which were recommended by the proprietors for the treatment of various diseases. In one of these cases in which the defendant entered a plea of guilty, a nominal fine of only 1 cent and costs was imposed by the court.
Charges of short weight were sustained against shipments of macronut and spaghetti. Short weight was also established in one shipment of olive oil.
Stealth Use Plane for Capture.
Berlin—Detectives in an airplane chased and caught three money traffickers, who, with 11,000,000 silver rubles, were on the way to Frankford by train.
Cow Gives Tripleta.
London—At Tydd St. Mary, Lincolnshire, a cow owned by Philip Moore gave birth to three calves.
NATIONWIDE FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Will Have Health Centers in All Parts of United States.
The American Red Cross has launched upon a nation wide campaign of fighting disease and physical defect among the American people. A new and unique health institution has come into being as the result of several months' study by the Red Cross Health Service Department at National Headquarter.
Officials in charge of the department predict that before long this new health activity will be in actual operation all over the country, and that the sign—"American Red Cross Health Center"—will become as familiar to the people everywhere as are now the signs of the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest of the American Red Cross in the fight against disease is not, however, of recent origin. Long before the war the organization began this health service through its medical units in disaster relief work and its department of Town and County Nursing. During the war and following the war, the American Red Cross officials have been fighting disease in the war-striken countries. At the same time tans of thousands of local Red Cross officials have been engaged at home fighting disease, notably during the influenza epidemics.
The American Red Cross has determined that all this valuable experience in health service abroad and at home shall not go to waste. So long as there are a half a million people dying yearly in this country from preventable causes, and so long as more than one-third of the American children and young people are victims of the Red Cross, the urgent need for continued Red Cross health service at home:
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center is governed by business principles, applies business methods, and, in its more simple form, can be established and conducted by lay people.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated fact that health is a commodity that can be bought and sold like brooms and soap. Therefore, it establishes itself in a storeroom in the principal business section of the community. It displays its goods in the form of attendant devices in its show windows. It advertises itself extensively. And it uses every business and social device to attract customers.
The Red Cross Health Center is of service to the sick in that it gives out reliable and complete information about existing clinics, hospitals, sanatoria and other institutions for the sick and the defective; about available nurses, both trained and practical; about when to consult a physician and why to shun the quack and his nostrums.
Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Red Cross Health Center is, however, of great importance to the well. It teaches people how to vent sickness and disease. This is done in many interesting and attractive ways—first of all, by the distribution of popular health literature and through health lectures illustrated with lanten sliders or with health motion picture films. Then special exhibits are given, one after the other, on various health subjects. Practical demonstrations are made; also health playlets by children to interest and instruct themselves and their elders. Classes are organized in personal hygiene, home care of the sick, first aid and in food selection and preparation. Health clubs, both for younger and older people, are formed; also Little Mother's Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics are organized for children. Already more than, hundred of these Red Cross Health Centers are in actual operation throughout the country. Many of them also conduct medical clinics, but the one chief, outstanding feature of the American Red Cross Health Center is its health education service which teaches well people how to keep well.
FRENCH PRAISE FOR
OUR RED CROSS WORK
Lauding the work accomplished by American philanthropy for war-striken France, Andre Tardieu, former high commissioner from that nation to the United States, in a recent article widely commented on throughout the French press, says:
"The American Red Cross has accomplished a work which calls for the heartfelt gratitude of every true Frenchman. In 1918 this great relief organization, in behalf of France nearly 77,000,000 franc, and in 1919 its expenditures on charitable projects in our country attained the tremendous total of 171,000,000. It has recently turned over to the French relief organizations huge stocks of supplies whose value must be counted in the hundreds of thousands of franc.
"Fifteen million American boys and girls, banded together in the Junior Red Cross of America, are back of a movement to establish the closest ties between France and America, younger generation through the charitable works they have financed, and are now carrying out among our little war sufferers.
"The bonds of friendship between France and America is cemented with mutual admiration, respect and gratitude."
$2.40 PER YEAR
Plan to Guide Vessels Through The Golden Gate by Wireless.
CONFIDENT OF ITS SUCCESS
Navy Department Working on "Double-Track" System Which is Expected to Become Reality in a Few Years.
Washington.—A "double-track railroad" guiding ships from all parts of the world in and out of San Francisco bay, through the Golden Gate, as safely in fog as in clear weather! That is the seemingly incredulous task upon which the navy department is now a few years away if congress be lenient, by next January.
Commander H. W. McCormick, Pacific coast radio material officer at More Island, has asked an appropriation for the laying of radio piloting cables from San Francisco's waterfront, a distance of seven or eight miles out through the Golden Gate. Unless the appropriation of the wireless section of the bureau of steam engineering is trimmed too severely at Washington, the funds will become available July 1; the necessary supplies will be requisitioned immediately, and the vessels calling at San Francisco will be electrically guided into the harbor before next January.
The use of radio pilot cables is still in the experimental stage. Commander McCormick said, but naval officers are confident of its success. Only one experiment has been heretofore conducted in the United States, and that, at New York, operated successfully until the cables were cut by dragging anchors.
The equipment for the "double track" consists primarily of two heavily insulated cables, costing approximately $75,000; a transmitting station and coils on both the port and starboard of the ship. One of these cables, on the right-hand side of the channel, outbound, will flash "O-U-T" at all hours of the day and night, and the other, on the left-hand side of the channel, outbound, will flash "F-N." An automatic key system will perform this labor.
With the aid of the recently established radio compass stations, or by other accurate methods of navigation, ships will be made to pass over the desired cable. When the sound waves of the induction coil show equal intensity on both the port and the starboard sides, the master will know that the cable is already in place. By holding his vessel so that these waves remain equal, he can bring his ship into harbor through a dense fog as readily as in clear weather.
Advantages of Service.
The use of this service will save the losses accruing when many ships lie out at sea, waiting the lifting of the fog bank to come into the bay, Commander McCormick said. The expense of necessary installations upon the hull of a ship would be slight in comparison with the advantages to be gained.
"Eventually, I believe, all the chief harbors will have radio pilot cables and all ships will be equipped to avail themselves of the service." Commander McCormick declared. "As for San Francisco, it will be a matter of only a few years until the cables are laid, even if the appropriation is required to navy vessels, which will, of course, be equipped to follow the cables. I expect that practically all ships calling regularly at this port will quickly install the induction colls."
Commander McCormick said there was a likelihood that the first appropriation would be sufficient for the laying of only one cable. In this case, he said, a signal like "S.F." would be given, and both inbound and outbound vessels would follow the same cable.—San Francisco Bulletin.
VOICE RECORD BY "WIRELESS"
Talking Machine in Experiments Repeats Tones of Persons Forty Miles Away.
London, England. — Experiments which have been carried out here have resulted in the making of a talking machine record on wax of a -voice transmitted by wireless telephone 40 miles away.
While the voice was speaking at Chelmsford, in the county of Essex, where there is a high power instrument capable of transmitting the voice hundreds of miles, the equipment at the receiving plant in the Strand, London, was attached to a recorder which engraved the message in soft wax in the same way as an ordinary talking machine disk is manufactured.
Unearth Mastodon Tusk
Stockton, Kan.-The petrified core of a mastoidus the tusk was unearthed near here the other day by workmen putting in abutments of a bridge. The tusk is five inches in diameter at the base and two feet in length. It is believed the tusk is part of the skeleton of a large prehistoric animal that made its home in the prime forests of the Solomon valley thousands of

you a few questions, .
Mr. Cor, if elected, the ‘rst thing
you can do without the “advice ‘aiid
consent” of the Congress, would be
the tesuance of an executive ‘order
abolishing segregation, which. {6 car

ington and in some parts of the coun-
try without warrant of law.
Mr. Cox, if elected, will you. tsoue
such an’ order?»
‘Mr. Cox, if elected, will you. favor
the enforcement of the \Civil War

Mr. Cor, it elected, will you recom-

their women “negresseg.” THE: AP-

cause the colored women never call

who uso the word “negro,” refer.t0
the female as a “megro woman.”

“The ster: visitor of the week: at

‘Mamie spent the first night here
in the beccaret rooma at the Casino
and lost a few thousand dollars.
‘Thereafter she declared, “Ah prefers

‘There is probably not: a word of
truth in the foregoing, but if Mamie
prefers “craps” she is sustained by

teh end of @ few years, having mas

spurters in'the Blackstone on Mich-
igan avenue, and begun the practice
of his ‘profession.” He has been so
siigeeséful that his fortune is esti
mated at $500,000.
Further, the Chicago papers. ssid
that games were played nightly at
‘the various hotels, such as the Black-
stone, La Salle, ete, at which enor-
mous sums were staked on the “rol
of the bones.”
THE APPEAL will state further
that the colored patronage of the
hotels named is not very large, their
clientele being’ confined principally to
‘white people. No, “craps” is not
colored folks’ game. It was at one
time the pastime of the most de-
graded people of all classes, but it
thas risen in the social scale and is
now very popular in “high society.”

The Question of Seuresstion,
EXitor John Q. Adams endorses the
action of Editor William Monroe
Trotter in opposing the erection of a
¥. M. C. A. for the. colored people.
Logically and under the sunlight of
divine justice, both Mr. Adams and
Mr. Trotter are right. ‘There is not
the shadow of excuse for a separate
building in a locality like Boston,
Mass,, where all citizens are pre.
sumed to enjoy and are accorded
thelr elvil and political rights.
‘Tho three grest leaders now stand-
ing forth in this attitude and main-
taining this position are William
Monroe Trotter of Boston, John Q.
Adams of St. Paul, Minn., and Hon.
H.C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio. We
can not say otherwise that under the
American flag with the full glare of
American citizenship shining in thelr
faces, they occupy igh ground, and
it will be the fature that ‘will accord
to them the full recognition they de-
