THE MAGIC OF AN AEROGRAM.
A Dilemma From Whioh ? Groat Fi
nancial Institution Extrfcatsd ItMlf
In Doubla Quick Tim? by a Rapid
Exchang* of Wirolaaa Di*patch?a.
To the ordinary layman, too busy 01
too Indifferent to bother bis bead with
scientific matters, wireless telegraphy
la somewhat of a mystery. In a gen
eral way he knowa that by It measngea
are flashed through the air over oceans
and mountains, but be does not realize
to what an extent and In what varied
roles the aerial magic plays Its parts
In dally life. In "The Wireless Man" !
the author. Francis A. Collins. nar- ;
| rates an Instance In which nerv>gr.ims
averted a possible financial mlahap.
i He write*:
"A secret, even a very big one. may
tie Intrusted to the wireless man and
flung halfway across the Atlantic
! with complete safety. There was the
J case, for Instance, of the president of
| a great New York bank who sailed for
I Europe without leaving the comblna
Hon of the locks of the vaults. As a
rule, the combination Is a single word,
and the aecret Is known only to two or
three In this case, by an oversight
there was no one left ashore who knew
I the key The money and securities of
j the bank were very safely locked away,
and hours of work would be require.!
to force the locks of the safe de|>oslt
vaults.
"The bank president's steamer had
tailed at # o'clock of a summer's morn
ing to catch a favorable tide, and
when the bank's officials tried to open
the vaulta at about 0 o'clock the
steamer carrying the aecret was up
ward of two hours at sea. A hasty
examination showed that there was
but one way to open the vaults, short
of breaking luto them, and that was
by p-ttlng the code from the presl
dent, serenely unconscious of the trou
bles ashore. To delay opening the
vaults would, of course. l>e a very seri
ous matter If the piles of money were
not ready behind the barred windows
promptly at 10, the fact would be
known within a few minutes through
out the financial section. A serious run
on a bank has been started for a less
cause.
"In the old days, before the cable, the
secret could not have been gained In
less than two or three weeks at best,
or until a tneasage had reached the
president by mall and returned across 1
the Atlantic. The cable alone would
have cut the delay lo two by catching
the traveler jn bis arrival on the other
side. Meanwhile the bank officials,
hastily summoned to a conference, had
acted quickly. The wireless stations
had been notified, and a message ex
plaining the situation was flashed from
the top of a high building In New York
and from the Sea Gate and Nantucket
stations All this was the work of less
than ten minutes.
"Now the combination word used to
lock up these millions in gold, currency 1
and securities la, of course, not a piece
of Information to be flashed broadcast j
along the Atlantic coast. It would be
known to si-ores of people, even If the
stations receiving guarded the secret
with the utmost care. The officials
therefore Impressed upon the president
the Importance of sending his message
In the private code used by the bank In
1 Its Important cables. As the hour for
opening the bank approached the offi
cials waited with an Impatience which
may be Imagined
"The wireless message was banded i
to tbe bank president as be sat at
breakfast well oot to sea. It was now j
exactly 9:16. Tbere was a sudden va
cancy at that particular table. After
one glance at the aerogram the presl- j
lent, realizing tbe situation to tbe last
detail. rushed madly for his stateroom
to search for his code book. A few mo
ments later a dignified elderly gentle
man rushed Into the wireless booth, de
mandlng at any cost that his message
be given the right of way. He (tot It
"An aerogram expressed In an unln
'elllgible cipher was soon being flashed
with tbe foil power of tbe apparatus.
Tbe wireless stations along tbe coast
had been ordered to expedite tbe mee
sage In every way and were waiting
anxiously for It It was read by two
i stations on tbe uong Island coast and
repeated hurriedly to New York. A few
minutes later tbe clerk at the telephone
In the hank was carefully writing oat
the strange Jumble of letters and trana
Icttng them Into Intelligible English.
The clock pointed to twenty minutes
to 10. the bank's opening boor, when
the great steel door swung noiselessly
open on Its hinges and the day was
saved."

Never neglect your kidneys.
If you hsr? pain in the back,
urinary disorders, diulress and
??ervousnses, It's time to act and
no time to experiment. These are
frequently symptoms of kidney
trouble, and a remedy which u
recommended for the kidneys should
be taken In time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a good
remedy to use. It has acted effect
ively In many cases In this vicinity

tlmonlalT
K. O. Beaumont, (SS 0 St.,
Kureka, Cal., says: "For a long
time I had a bad case of kidney and
bladder trouble. The kidney secret
ions were too frequent to peseage
and I suffered a great deal from
backache that was especially severe
at night. 1 applied plasters to my
back and ueel other remedies, but
without receiving any aotlceable
benefit. Happening to see an ar
ticle in the papers about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I procured the rem
edy. I began using It and In a
short time my kidneys were restor
ed to a normal condition. I have
used five totes of Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say that I am cured
As I did not take any other remedy
at the same time, I give the full
credit for my cure to Doan's Kldne7
Pills."

FT is a hard thing to convince tome people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit that it ia to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, ao they send their money oat of
town for aomething that ia no better than can be found on the local
merchant'* shelves. The money is thus gone where they, n n any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can ri"i nobody
good but the person who has it and he ia hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofth e commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them tend away for
thair printing, whda at the aema'tima argue againat^mad order busineaa.
