FOR SOLIDARITY
OF AMERICANS
Dr.
Omaha, Neb April 22 Sitting in a
lonely farmhouse thirty miles from
Omaha, where none of the ordinary1
electric currents around a great city
can interfere with his work. Dr. Fred
erick II. Millener, foremost wireless
-telephone expert of the country, is lis
tening tonieht to catch siemals that
the people of the planet Mars may be
hurtling across a space of millions
of miles to the people on the earth.'
Dr. Millener is surrounded by the
apparatus of the most powerful! wire
less receiving station in the world.
His intensifiers will magnify even the
faintest commotions among the waves
of the air until they will break as
storm upon the apparatus, which will
make a permanent record of them and
permit their study at the leisure of
the scientists.
Tonight, while the planet Mars is
closer to the earth than at any other
time of year. Dr. Millener's instru
ments are turned to a 300,000-metre
wave length. A 20,000 metre length
of wave is an extremely long one for
wireless use on the earth. And it is
by the extreme length of wave that
Dr. Milener expects to decide whether
any signal which he may record is
from the earth or from out in inter
planetary space. Wave lengths used
on the earth are a " known quantity.
Waves of other lengths according to
Dr. Millener may come from andther
planet.
Instead of the ordinary antennae of.
a few -hundred feet of wire, Dr. Mil
liner is using wires of several hun
dred miles in length. They are made
up of "dead" telegraph wires stretch

snouid tney come at all, through ra
diant waves, as he expresses it. He is
skeptical with the skespticism of
scientist, and also is enthusiastic with
the enthusiasm of a scietotast.
"We don't 'know what wffi happen,'
he said. "We are at the a-pxptanafeus (to
hear. Any comm'uarteation between
the spheres mirst be by the language
of mathematics, the science which is
the same all through the universe, the
science to which the worlds revolve
If the Martuajis are far enough ad
vanced! to try to sifmal the earth, they
are far enough advanced to know
m o-thematics.
"The acbual signal must Ibe by wire
less of some sort some radiant en
ergy, projected as a wave, which we
must 'be able to ipfok up and intern-re
before there can toe cornnruniiea'tion of
this sort."
Dr. Millener will continue his vigil
all night unless electrical disfcunb-
enjees of some sort arise to block his
tests. Experiments will be continued

Brum Wants League of
All American
Nations
Montevideo, April 22 Formation
of an "American League, on a basis
of absolute equality between ail-
American nations for common action
against aggression threatening any
one of them from outside nations and
for arbitration of Inter-American, dis
putes was proposed by Dr. Baltazar j
Brum, president of Uruguay, in . ad- j
dressing the students of the University
Montevideo tonight.
As a step in the formation of such
league. Dr. Brum declared other
American countries should make a
declaration similar to the Monroe
Doctrine, placing them on the same
footing as the United States ror joint
action against European aggression
and to secure the solidarity of the
American continent. He said the
proposed league should be formed
without prejudice to adherents to the
League of Nations and that snouia
any member . of the "American
League" have , a controversy with the
League of Nations, that nation should
ask for the co-operation of the
American League" in settling the
controversy.
After praising the United States
for entering the world war in defense
of the rights of all peoples, among
them the independence and territorial
integrity of American countries from
danger from victorious Germany and
citing reasons for the maintenance of
friendship between United States and
other American countries notwith
standing difficulties of language Dr.
Brum said in part:
"Pan American policy is, in short,
deep brotherly sentiment. It is
purely continental and does not in
terfere in any way with our good un
derstanding with Spain, Portugal,
England, France, Italy or other Eu
ropean countries, with which we can
maintain most cordial politicail rela
tions and the closest economic ties.
granted they show respect for our
personality. , Pan Americanism, im
plies equality of all sovereignties,
large or small; an assurance that no
country will covet posses isons of oth
ers, and that those who have lost any
positions will have them rightly re
turned to them. It encouraged just
appreciations of the material and
moral aggrandizement of all peoples
of America."

London, April 22 Whether the
church should provide women con
fessors is a question with which the
Lambeth Conference of the clergy of
Great Britain to be held in July is
threatened.
At a meeting 0' the union for equal
citizenship. Miss Edith Picton-Tnrber-vill
said that letters had been receiv
ed from girls in various parts of the
country pleading for women confess
ors in High Anglican churches.
The Rev. Henry Ross, Victar of St.
Albans, a large parish in Holborn,
London, does not hold out much hope
for the sutrprestion, for in a recent
interview ho snid women would not
confess to women, who are pitiless to
their on sex. j
I have had considerable experience
of publio life outside the cbnrcb." he
said, "and while we welcome women's
help, I have had evidence of this trait
in their character.
"The church is quite ctear on this
subject," he added, "for we come at
once tip against the question of the
priesthood. No woman can be ad
mitted to the priesthood. Therefore,
we can have neither women preach
ers not women confessors. If there
were no other, there is the psycholog
ical objection that one woman would
not trust another woman to keep a
secret, even if told in the confessional."

search and seizure by Federal Fro

illegal, Federal Judge Clarence W.

trial of Scalcueci brothers, in connec
tion with the Iron River "whiskey re

Common garden sage brewed into

blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle -of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally; so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully .dark,
glossy, soft luxuriant. Adv.
