Americans arriving in Constantin ople from Smyrna gave graphic des criptions of the gfenes they witnessed i:i that city during the great fire and :, pendant disorders.

Some of the inhabitants, driven in- va-e by the reign of terror, which en- rushed to the harbor and drown 'j themselves.

The whole populace rushed to the water's odze. Women cried to heaven for help. Many plunged into the water, proftviing drowning to death by fire. "it was the most harrowing pic ture of misery and anguish I ever witr.eed. The heat was so intense that no one in the fire zone could sur vive. It was an appalling climax to a fraue'.t with the horrors of war, mas :v;:e and eviction. .. 22.2 -"-------'---5 ., : ?; SMILE AWHILE f o City Boy" What's that, pa?"

"Oh, Harold, you can't come over and see me any more." "Why, how so, dearest?" "I must stop billing and cooing. I am getting terribly piegon-toed. "Sorry, but I can't insure you you're too tall," said the agent to the man who wanted to take out an accident policy. "Too tall ? What's the matter with that?" protested the applicant. And anyway, I'm not as tall as my father was, and he had no trouble getting in sured."

Mrs. Smith, who lived next door to us, was a constant borrower. One day I remarked to my husband that she never came unless she wanted to borrow something. Our little daughter heard this.

GREATEST WIRELESS STATION IS OPENED French Station Will Handle 1, 000,000 Words a Day; Send To Alaska. Another step in the plan to "moor the new world alongside the old" has been taken in Paris by the opening of the great French wireless station at Saint. Assise. -This is described as the biggest wireless station in the world, and it has a capacity, its build ers say, of 1,000,000 words a day. Messages have already been sent at the rate of 80 words a minute with perfect clearness, and when the equipment is completed it will be pos sible to send five or six messages simultaneously, with a total output of bUO words a minute. Saint-Assise, which in future will carry the bulk of wireless communi cations between France and America, is worked from the center of. Paris by means of a long distance control system. The central office near the Paris stock exchange, by means of six receiving centers in the suburbs, picks up messages destined for trans mission from Saint-Assise and auto matically passes them on across the Atlantic. The station is 35 times as powerful as the Eiffel tower station. In ad dition to messages sent to New York, direct communication has already been established with Argentina and China, and when the post is com pletely equipped it will be- clearly heard in the remotest recesses of Alaska and the southern extremities of South America. The French con structors of the plant say the system used is several years in advance of that of the United States or .of Ger many. The wires are supported on seven pylons each 820 feet high.
