Many will scoff at the announcement that Marconi, wireless inventor, believes that he has intercepted messages from Mars or some other planet. Experimenting in the Mediterranean, Marconi discovered wireless wavelengths for in excess of those used by the highest-powered radio stations in the world. This leads him to believe that Mars, or some other heavenly body is trying to communicate with the earth. There may be nothing in Marconi's belief as to the origin of these waves. And yet—there may be something, in his theory—something of tremendous interest to the whole human race. If other planets are popped by intelligent beings—as is reasonable to suppose—they reasonably might be supposed to be interested in this planet and desirous of communicating with it. Interplanetary communication may come in the fulness of time. WAR VETERANS HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM NEARING COMPLETION WASHINGTON, Sept. 21]—A definite hospitalization program for war veterans involving an immediate expenditure of over $6,000,000 has been announced by Col. Forbes, director of the veterans bureau. By January 1, hospital facilities for 6,800 new beds are to be available. The program calls for the expenditure of $850,000 at Fort Bayard, New Mexico; $500,000 at Perryville, Id.; the construction of tuberculosis hospitals at the soldiers' homes at Leavenworth, Milwaukee and Dayton; additional building at the Marion, Ind., sanitarium; the remodeling at Fort Walla Walla, Wash., for 150 beds; $600,000 at Whipple Barracks, Prescott Ariz., and at least nine additional projects to be determined later. The expenditure of $6,000,000 is only one-third of the total amount available for the hospitalization work. SOUTH REPORTS PROSPERITY MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 21. — The concensus of opinion of those in attendance at the annual convention of the Cotton State Merchants' Assn which has just adjourned its session here, is that trade revival is no longer a matter of doubt. Reports throughout the south show that farmers are making the biggest and the cheapest crop they have made in years. There has been a heavy reduction in cotton acreage and a corresponding increase in the production of food crops for man and forage crops for animals. This condition makes the south more self-sustaining than at any period in recent years and releases the money realized on cotton for use in liquidation of debts of purchase of supplies other than food. As a result, merchants are buying liberally for fall and winter trade. "BE POLITE," SAYS POSTMASTER GENERAL TO POSTAL EMPLOYEES WASHINGTON, Sept. 21]—Courtesy is a word that must appear in the lexicon of every postal employee, under an order issued by Postmaster-General Hays. "Proper courtesy," says the order, does not retard, but expedites business, and the employee who exercises unfailingly, courtesy throughout each hour of each day's work renders more in service than can be measured as hours of duty. The department thanks every postal worker for every courteous 'thank you' expressed to patrons, and especially for every thank you earned from the public by intelligent and courteous service rendered. Employees who serve the public at windows are forbidden to engage in unnecessary conversation, and are told to answer inquiries civilly and to the fullest extent permitted. PRESIDENT ASKS $240,000 NEW YORK Letter NEW YORK, Sept. 21. — We have heard much about the congested blocks of the lower east side and the paths of childhood, then that it is rather startling to get statistics on it. The New York City health department has just announced its findings that the same congested lower east side is the healthiest part of town. There is found the lowest mortality rate in the city; while the death rate in one section in which a great many of New York's wealthy people have their homes is more than double that of this humble section. It pretty well upset long established libraries on the relations of congestion, poverty and death rate. But there you are! One reason ascribed by physicians is the lack of personal care which many of the well-to-do mothers give their children. It isn't just pose on the part of the Manhattan traffic cops—that attention they give their horses, its deep affection. One of them in the Broadway section proved that a few nights ago, it was raining hard and the few late pedestrians who passed through a certain cross street were interested to see the policeman standing in the rain while his horse was comfortably located on the sidewalk under an awlwing. Pine evening — for the horse!" one man shouted. "He's a good horse," the policeman replied with a grin. Manuel Pennela, the Spanish composer of "El Galo Montez" (The Wild Cat) has arrived from Barcelona bringing with him all the costumes and scenery for this New York production of the piece which he expects to present some time next month. It will be the first time, according to theatrical people that a purely Spanish opera has been given in this country. The cast will be English and American. Charles Seeger and his wife have started a motor bungalow fad on Long Island. They are both excellent musicians and they bundled their piano violin into their "auto horn." Have spent the summer year about the Island and visiting their friends in convenient fashion just by stopping for a few days on the outskirts of the summer colonies. One of the romantical young New York women who summers in Southampton is said to be making plans to tour the Island next summer in her own motor bungalow with a band of troubadours along. The white alkali lands of Arizona can be reclaimed to large extent by teaching the soil, but the black alkali soils resist leaching tenaciously.

Every week in some restaurant somewhere in New York these days a reunion of ex-service men is being held. Groups of them made agreements while they were overseas to have some kind of a celebration at an appointed time after the war was over. Most of the plans were for dinner in New York on a settled date. They have scattered all over the country now, but they don't forget the dinner. It was a kind of sacred agreement between them and they hold to it if they can possibly get here. "Those empty chairs are for members of the agreement who were unable to come because of death or injuries," one restauranteur explained as he pointed out a dinner in progress. "They are being held this fall because it seems that this is just about the time most of them thought the war would be over." New York and Newport are interested in the report that at least Mrs. O.H.P. Belmont plans to open Marble House, her Newport home again next summer, and resume her social activities on a large scale. Two reasons are supposed to be responsible for the length of time it has been closed; the war and Mrs. Belmont's work for woman suffrage. Both of those have now been won and she is said to be ready to return to the field where she first won her spurs—the social tournament. The Merry Widow hat, worn by Miss Lipskowska in the revival of that opera, is much more gorgeous than the sailor of its original production which took place by grooming. The new hat is not blue silver cloth, softly woven with the new round crown and decorated with a halo of gold spirit, a feathery trimming sugary nigret. JUST THE GIST Hot?
