"Listening In" on Radio WU!
Be Eliminated.
New York, June 16.-"One party"
radio telephone lines are a prospect
for the immediate future.
William Marconi, perfector of the
?wireless telephone and telegraph, ar
rived here today on his yacht, with a
message when fulfilled will mark the
greatest advance yet in radio tele
phony. It will put radio on such a
sound commercial basis that it is
forecast, it will rival the telephone
an common use.
Mr. Marconi announced that he had
perfected a system by which radio
messages can be projected in any
desired direction.
At present, radio messages are be
ing broadcast only, scattered in all
directions. An idea of the accuracy
of Mr. Marconi's new device is given
in the inventors' statement that he
.has sent messages 100 miles straight
ahead which were not heard, except
at the receiver aimed at.
In time, Mr. Marconi said, apparat
us will be perfected which will proj
ect radio messages with the accuracy
that marks the transmission of the
telephone or telegraph messages over
wires. Mr. Marconi continued:
"I am amazed at the varied pro
grams that are being sent out by your
"broadcasting stations here. I enjoy
ed the concerts so much while on the
way to this city from Bermuda.
America is undoubtedly far ahead of
Eui ope in radio development.
"Contrary to the general impres
sion, I have never tried to reach
Mars by radio. I have really given the
possibility of such a thing very little
thought. However, I am certain that
' I have had a message from some oth
er world, possibly Mars, Venus or
the Sun, although I admit I may be
fooling nryself concerning the mes
sages which might have been caused
by electrical disturbances.
This is Mr. Marconi't 85th visit to
America. The chief purpose of his
present visit is to exchange technical
and scientific information with
American experts.
Service on the Juries.
Jury service is one of the first du
ties of citizenship. It is one of the
last duties the average citizen is
willing to perform. Men of character
and ability who are possessed of the
qualifications necessary to the ren
dering of fair and intelligent ver
dicts will go to great length in order
to evade service on a jury. At the
same time they will criticize the ver
dicts of those who are willing to
serve. The average man feels that he
can not afford to neglect his business
interests in order to spend two or
three days in a week in a jury box at
small pay. The financial sacrifice such
service entails in a barrier between
" -him and duty to his community. He
forsakes duty in his efforts to evade
the sacrifice. In too many cases this
attitude fills the juries with men who
are not fitted morally or intellectual
ly to perform their duties without
fear or favor. The result is spread
broadcast over the country in the
form of criminality that appears to be
uncheckable and constantly on the
increase. The law of nature requires
that we reap as we sow, and even now
the sum of the reaper is deafening
in our ears.-Sandersville Progress.
Dilligent detectives, dilligent ar
resting officers, diligent civil service
commissioners, diligent piiosecutir.g
attorneys, diligent judges on the
bench will not be wholly effective un
less the sturdiest and ablest men go
into the jury boxes.
Many of us are given to trying to
evade this jury service. It is a service
in addition to our routine and puts
things awry in the workshop and in
the counting room. Yet it is a service
that is a duty to the society we have
set up-a link in the manner of gov
ernment we have adopted-and just
in so far as we weaken it, just in that
far we hurt the system we have build
ed under which to live and let live.
No president, forming the organi
zation in his institution, calculates
that, at times, during the year he
must permit his clerks (each of them,
probably) to be away from desks a
week, to do jury duty in the court
room. When the subpoena comes de
manding the service of that clerk, or
this one, instantly there suggests the
determination to "get uhe judge to
let you off." His honor is human. He
wants to be obliging. He wants to em
barrass no man's business. But what
has occurred as bearing on one pres
ident's force of employees, applies to
all other business organizations.
There are few juries drawn no mem
bers of which make appeal to be ex-'
cused for business reasons.
There will be better administra
tion of the "law-to the good of all
law-abiding people-wh^n thtere is
full and patriotic response to the
summons to jury duty.-Augusta
Chronicle.

?bels Should Tell Air the
Truth.
The United States Supreme Court
recently handed down a decision to
the effect that labels used on goods
sold interstate must tell the truth.
The case before the court was that of
a manufacturer of hosiery who label
ed hsi goods as "Natural Wool" or
"Australian Wool," when as a matter
of fact the hosiery was made from a
mixture of wool and cotton.
The Pure Foods and Drug act re
quires that labels on goods sold in
terstate must recite the contents of
the articles and therefore if one is
buying a can of fruit, he is reason
ably sure that if the label reads,
"Pure Strawberry Jam," that he is
getting what he asked for. Not so
with the man who buys a suit of
clothes. \ The label may read "Pure
Wool" and tell the truth, but it does
not tell the whole truth. If the label
read "'Pure wool made from shod
dy," unless it was actually made from
virgin wool, the buyer would not be
deceived. As it is the buyer of a suit
of clothes may be buying shoddy,
believing that he is paying for a su
perior article.
Notwithstanding this opportunity
for deception, Congress hesitates to
pass the "Truth in Fabrics" bili. The
influence of the manufacturers of
shoddy and shoddy cloth seems
to have more weight than the de
mands of the wool growers and the
wearers of- woolen clothes. It would
be interesting to know in just what
form this influence is presented to
our new congressmen.-Farm and
Ranch.
No Such Thing as "Hollow
Horn."
Many persons believe cattle have
"hollow horn" at times. "This belief
is a mistake," says Dr. A. L. Sealy,
professor of veterinary science, Uni
versity of Florida. "The horn is at
tached to a bony core, which is a
prolongation of the frontal bone.
Some of the bones of the head have
air spaces of sinuses, one purpose of
which is to give bulk and shape to the
bones without adding to their weight.
The frontal bone has such an air
space, and it extends out into the
bony core over which the horns are
attached. So hollow horn is not a dis
ease, for the horns are naturally hol
low."
Continuing, Dr. Sealy says: "Cat
tle are apt to have digestive disorders,
and what is often thought to be hol
low horn is no more nor less than in
digestion, a result of eating mouldy
or too much feed, a sudden change
of feed, overloading the paunch, or
drinking stagnant water.
"The practice of boring a hole into
the horn and pouring in such ingre
dients as turpentine, vinegar, black
pepper, liniments, common salt or
other such mixtures, is not only use
less and cruel, but actually danger
ous. Often these things cause an in
flamation of the membrane lining the
air space, or produce abcesses within
this cavity.
"When your cow appears dejected,
lacks appetite, shows weakness, hair
loses its lustre, skin becomes tight
and unpliable, horns feel hot (indi
cating fever) or cold (indicting de
ranged circulation), call a graduate
veterinarian, if one is available.
"If a veterinarian is not to be had,
forget about hollow horn and give
the cow one pound of epsom salts and
from two to four tablespoonfuls of
aromatic spirits of ammonia in
quart of water as a drench. Feed only
nourishing feed such as ground oats,
cornmeal, middlings and bran. Allow
the animal to eat as much green feed
as possible. A good tonic powder,
such as, powdered nux v?mica, 2
ounces, powdered gentian, 2 ounces;
powdered ginger, 2 ounces; sodium
bicarbonate, 2 ounces, may be given
for a week or more after a digestive
disorder. One tablespoonful of this
mixture should be given three times
daily in feed or in a pint of water as
a drench."-Farm and Ranch.

Senate Admits Lee to Hall of
Fame.
Washington, June 18.-Since Vir
ginia refused to permit the senate to
put the statue of George Washing
ton in the Hall of Fame unless it
would also accept the statue of Rob
ert Lee, the senate now accepts the
statue of any individual, up to two,
which the state might designate.
Southern states as a rule have not
taken advantage of the opportunity.
North Carolina has Senator Vance
and South Carolina John C. Calhoun.
Florida has Dr. Corrie who invented
the refrigerator (and incidentally he
was born in South Carolina) and
Gen. Kirby Smith, Confederate sol
dier. Texas has Austin, the Indian
fighter. Tennessee has neglected both
Andrew Jackson and David Crockett.
Some time, Mississippi will send the
statue of Jefferson Davis. Georgia,
if its constitution will ever permit,
will send the statues of Alexander
Stephens, vice president of the Con
federacy, and Dr. Crawford Jones,
who first applied ether as an anaes
thetic in operation. Something is the
matter with the- constitution of Geor
gia. That which hinders it in appro
priating for its sons is also responsi
ble, it is said, for the fact that the
jeweler who engraved and furnished
the silver service for the battleship
Georgia has never been remunerated.
There is delight in Washington
that Alabama has undertaken a
movement to put a statue to Gen.
William C. Gorgas in statuary hall.
He was born in Mobile and educated
in Tuscaloosa, where his father, who
had served as chief ordnance officer
of the Confederate army, was presi
dent of the University of Alabama.
General Gorgas was internationally
famous as a sanitation expert. His
work made the Panama canal zone
habitable.
Alabama is now represented by J.
lr. M. Curry, who was born in Vir
ginia, and was more closely identified
with Tennessee. The legislature of
Alabama suffered relatives of Curry
to put his statue in the capitol with
the understanding that they would
defray all expenses. To that extent
Alabama sold its birthright.
It is the hope of Alabamans in
Washington that Alabama will re
move the Curry statue and put in its
place one in honor of Admiral
Semmes, who commanded the famous
Alabama during the Confederate
war, and was the South's greatest
naval hero; or William Rufus King,
once vice president of the United
States; or Senator John Tyler Mor
gan, the real father of the Panama^
canal legislation.
There was a sensation, of course,
when Virginia sent the Lee statue to
Washington. The senate bickered. (
But Virginia said taut Lee must be ]
accepted or Washington would be
withdrawn. A Hall of Fame without 1
Washington would be a joke, the sen
ate recognized, and, without formal (
action, permitted the statue to be ]
placed. While the senate struggled
over the Lee controversy, echoes 1
reached the house. Carter Glass, then
a representative, declared in a speech ?
that Virginia did not care very much i
as the government had already erect
ed in Washington a statue to Le'e^ .
most descriptive of his military
genius.
One of the "red shirt" wavers was '?
amazed. He made inquiries of the :
Virginia member. ?
"It is nothing more or less than
the pension office," returned Glass
without the semblance of a smile.

Hymns Taken From Rev. A. T.
Allen's Calendar of Last
Sunday.
Hymn 13
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow!
His head with radiant glories
crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
No mortal can with Him compare,
? Among the sons of men,
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
He saw me plunged in deep dis
tress,
And flew to my relief,
For me He bore the shameful cross
And carried all my grief.
Ta Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me'triumph over death
And saves me from the grave.
Hymn 4
There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
Theres' a kindness in His justice;
Which is more than liberty.
There's a welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in His blood. ,
If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
Hymn 22
Awake, my soul, stretch every
nerve,
And press with vigor on;
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.
A cloud of witnesses around,
Hold Thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.
'Tis God's all animating voice,
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the
prize,
To thine aspiring eye.
Blest Saviour, introduced by Thee,
Have I my race begun;
And, crowned with vict'ry, at Thy
feet,
I'll lay my honors down.
Vesper Verse, Hymn 60
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour
of prayer,
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes
known!
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's
snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of
prayer!
Hymn 50
Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's v/ild, reckless sea,
Day by day, His sweet voice sound
eth,
3aying, "Christian, follow me."
Jesus, calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,
From eaeh idol that would keep
us,
Saying, "Christian, love me more."
Tesus calls us; by Thy mercies
Saviour, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedi
ence,
Serve and love Thee best of all.
Hymn 55
[ can hear my Saviour calling,
[ can hear my Saviour calling,
[ can hear my Saviour calling,
"Take thy cross and follow, follow
me."
Chorus
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the
way.
I'll go with Him thro' the garden,
I'll go with Him thro' the garden,
I'll go with Him thro' the garden,
I'll go with Him, wi+h Him all the
way.
He will give me grs
He will give me gr;
He will give me
And go with me, v

He Didn't Die in Vain.
A Kiona, Washington, papers tells
us that a rancher and hunter caught
a coyote in a steel trap. He thought
he would have some fun with him, the
unfortunate victim not having suf
fered enough from the trap to de-'
serve speedy death. The paper graph
ically recounts what followed:
He telephoned several neighbors to
be on hand to witness the destruc
tion.
Moore tied a stick of dynamite to
the animals' tail, lighted the fuse and
turned him loose.
Mr. Moore and his friends were
^hocked to see the creature quickly
disappear underneath the hen house.
No- amount of yelling and revolver
firing would dislodge it.
About three seconds elapsed when
there was a great puff of dust and a
roar, while the air was filled with
feathers, pieces of fur, boards, straw,
and eggs from an 800 size incubator
which was in the hen house.
When the atmosphere had cleared
there was no trace of the hen house
and its valued contents. Moore looked
behind him to see his ueighbors beat
ing a hasty retreat.-Our Dumb Ani

the converted one. "You don't know

"I know, Bill," admitted Jake
thoughtfully, "an' I would like to

"Why not?" persisted the first.
"What's to prevent it?"
"Well, it's just this way, Bill.
