' HUGE WIRELESS
STATION TAKEN
OVER BY FRANCE
PARIS, Aug. 19 (by Associated
I^j^s).—The La Fayette wireless
station near Bordeaux, designed and
erected by American forces during
the war has been turned over to the
* French government. It is the most
powerful plant in existence with
double the range of the Annapolis
installation.
The armistice found the station
half completed and so the completion
has been slowr as the urgent need of
it no longer existed. It is to be used
as part of the comprehensive system
planned by the French service for
reaching all French colonial points
wireless.
Eight towers of structural steel,
each within a very few feet of the
Woolworth building in height are
grouped in two rows of four to sup
port antennae that cover an aerial
surface about a mile long and a
fourth of a mile wide. Each tower
weighs 550 tons as compared with
a weight of 2,700 tons for the Eiffel
tower in Paris which Is only a fourth
j», higher than the La Fayette struc
tures.
The range of the station is more
than 13,000 miles, halfway around
the earth. Previously the largest
French station was that at Lyons
^ which works easily with New York,
daily.

OLD TAVERN TO
PARK PURPOSE
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The old ferry house
at Washington Crossing, Pa., is being
restored and adapted as a central
building for park purposes.
All the properties on the Delaware
river bank east of the river road as
far as the upper end of the island,
behind which boat.;,-, were secreted,
ready for embarkation of George
Washington’s troops for the attack on
Trenton, have been bought by the
Washington Crossing park oommis-.
sion.
This covers a frontage of over 1,500
feet and includes the point of- em
barkation and the old ferry road lead
ing to it. The commission also has
purchased the island and about 60
acres to the west of river road which
includes the ridge behind which the
Continental troops were massed and
drilled that eventful Christmas day
before the battle of Trenton.
The commission has laid out a gen
eral scheme covering the territory in
which Washington’s troops were quar
tered after having been driven across
New Jersey and over the Deleware
river on December 8, at Morrisville.
This includes the base of supples and
New Hope ferry, the uppermost fer
ry guarded to keep the British from
crossing.
It covers the headquarters houses
of Washington and 11 of his generals.
At the graves of the soldiers who died
it is proposed to erect monuments.
Eventually the national government
will be asked to build a memorial
bridge over the Delaware at the point
where Washington made his never-to
be-forgotten journey across the swol
len river Delaware amid ice floes
and dangers from an. unseen foe.
LAWYERS URGE
COURT JUDGES
BE EFFICIENT
«r ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19 (by Associat
ed Press).—More organized activity
by bar associations in the selection
of fit candidates for judicial offices
is urged by the Committee on Profes
sional Ethics and Grievances in a re
port prepared for presentation at the
annual convention of the American
Bar Association here, August 25-27.
In the opinion of the committee
“an appointive judiciary, with a pre
liminary endorsement of candidates
by the bar is the ideal manner to se
cure a uniformly efficient bench.”
The report also emphasizes the
need for thorough co-cperation of
members of the judiciary and the
bar, for the purpose of maintaining
high professional standards in legal
practice.
Questionaires seeking suggestions
as to how this co-operation might
be accomplished best have been sent
out to approximately 1,500 members
of the judiciary throughout the Uni
ted States, during the past year, ac
cording to the report, which has been
made public by the local committee
in charge of arrangements.
In reply, it states, recommendation
has been made that the bars in the
various localities be incorporated,
with the Canon of Ethics as a part
of their constitution. Wherever this
plan is carried out, the recommenda
tion is made that the corporations
be entrusted with complete supervi
sion of the activities of all practic
ing attorneys and of those who follow
the profession without having first
met the prescribed tests.
The report suggests that the lack
of proper tests as to character of ap
plicants for admission to the bar “is j
the cause of many unworthy men
slipping in.”
Many points as to ethical practice
have been raised during the year, ac
cording to the report, and the com
mittee, in turn, it states, has sought
to obtain comprehensive information
as to the ethical observances in the
courts throughtout the United States j
and the disciplinary practices in-'
volted, for breaches of professional
conduct.
One of the recommendations em- j
bodied in the report is that the com- *
mittee be centralized to allow the j
holding of conferences at stated
times, in order to act on important
questions which arise. The members
of the committee are Henry W. Jes
sup, of New York; Thomas Patter
son, of Pittsburgh; James D. Shear
er, of Minneapolis. Hugh Henry
Brown, Tonopah, Nev., and Henry J.
Carter, of New Orleans.

WILL BEAUTIFY
RESTING PLACE
YANK HEROES

PARIS, Aug. 19 (by Associated
PressT-—In order to present any
commei’cial encroachment upon Ro
mange cemetery, where 23,000 Amer
ican soldiers are buried, the French
government has been asked by the
American Army Graves Registration
Service authorities to purchase the
gentle slope facing the front of the
cemetery, and the entire crest of the
hill occupied in part by the cemetery,
as well as plots at both sides.
The Romange, Suresnes, and Bel
leau Woods cemeteries have been ap
proved by the Secretary of War as
the permanent resting places of
more than 30,000 soldier dead who
will continue to 'sleep in French
soil. Suresnes, which is on the
slope of Mont Valerian, one of the
forts built to defend Paris, is al
ready protected against encroach
ment but will provide areas which
will be used by American horticul
tural experts to surround the hal
lowed spot with trees and shubbery
as at the present time the cemetery
is surrounded only with a long wall
and there is no available space for
planting.
The beautification of the cemetery
will not begin for some months as
most of the bodies in the cemetery
now are to be removed to America,
and this work will not start until
mid-September and cannot be fin
ished until sometime next year. After
this work is finished bodies from the
other cemeteries will be moved in.

ITALY IS OASIS
OF WORLD FOR
THIRSTY ONE
ROME, Aug 19 (by Associated j
Press).—Italy cannot be called the
“desert of Europe,” because for her
40.000. 000 inhabitants she provides
places where wine and alcoholic
be\erages may be consumed accord
ing to the Italian statistical annual
which has just been published.
Lombardy with a population of
about f,000,000 leads the way with
32.642 drinking places, the figures
show. Piedmont follows her close
ly while the province of Rome, which
in 19)1 had a population of less than
1.500.000, has no less than 8,127
drinking places. Less intoxicants
are consumed in the South, in the
Island of Sardinia and in Umbria
than in any other region.
Many other interesting features of
Italian life are revealed by the An
nual. The death rate of illegiti
mate children for instance, is shown
to be forty per cent greater than
those born legitimately. Tuberculo
sis is said to have shown an increase,
50.000 of the 720,000 deaths in one
year being attributed to that malady.
While Italy has no regular poor
law, some of its 28,614 charitable
institutions, Avith a capital of about
$435,000,000 date from the middle
ages and provide for more than
1.000 hospitals, 17 lunatic asylums, 82
orphanages, 21 night refuges, 16 food
kitchens and about 100 refuges for
deserted children. The statictics say
that in Italy annually 200,000 child
ren are abandoned by their parents.
Italy has more than 120,000 ele
mentary schools, with 76,000 teach
ers and about 4,000,000 students al
though about 46 per cent of the
Italian people are illiterate. Pied
mont, in the north has only about
17 per cent, the smallest number of
illiterates. School enrollment shoAvs
70.000 normal and complementary
students; 62,000 in the gymnasiums;
15.000 in the lyceums; about 3,000 in
nautical institutes; 130,000 in techni
cal schools; 29,000 in technical insti
tutes; 32,000 in schools of mineral
ology; 12,000 in industrial and com
mercial schools; about 3,000 in art
schools; 4,200 in musical schools and
institutes; 4,000 ip boarding schools
and 40,000 in universities. For the
