HON AROUSES
AVIATORS' INTEREST
Widespread Speculation Hero
on Character of New Dis
covery Which Italian Is
Said to Have Made
CONJECTURE OF EXPERTS
What Phita. Fliers "Think"
Marconi's Invention May Be
A method of giving power and
light to ncroplnnes nnd dirigibles
in midair by use of wireless.
A way of setting o(T- concealed
bombs in ship3 at sea.
A new stabilizing of air craft by
wireless. A method of communi
cation between ncroplnnes in nir,
now impossible.
A method by which aerial tor-
fiedocs can be controlled in the air
n a similar way torpedoes ore con
trolled in the water.
Ougllelmo Marconi's latest Invention,
just announced by dispatches (rgm Paris,
an Invention which It Is predicted will
revolutionlzo the operation of aeroplanes
and dirigibles In war times Is tho sub
ject of much conjecturo on tho part of
Philadelphia aviators.
The dispatches announce that Mnrconl,
tho Inventor of tho wireless telrRrnph,
has Just perfected a special apparatus
which Is destined to niaho n sensational
chaiiRo In operation of air craft. No par
ticulars aro given.
Baron Haldeman von Fleyclmcsiy, ono
of tho directors of tho Aero Club of Penn
sylvania and himself an aviator of note,
when told of the new Invention said:
"I nm suro thero can ho no now prin
ciple of aviation, but It I". posBlblo that
this Invention to which tho dispatches re
fer, may bo ono by which Marconi can
furnish power to tho ncroplanes or diri
gibles by uso of tho wireless. That means,
too", that light for powerful searchlights
could bo furnished by tho wireless as
well. Theso searchllghtB could bo used
at night In locating tho enemy. The lights
could bo turned oft nnd tho neroplanes
change their course In tho darkness,
"Then, too, tt might bo that by tho use
of wireless tho aeroplanes could set off
bombs which had previously been secreted
In boats on tho ocean," ndded tho Baron.
"Tho waves from a wireless go out In nil
directions, so It Is not at nil necessary
for tho aviator to know In what part of
tho Bhlp tho bomb might bo. It could go
'within two miles of tho boat nnd set off
tho bomb by tho uso of wireless. This
,nay bo what Marconi has Invented. Of
courso nono of us know. It seems tho In
dention Is being kept a secret ns much as
possible."
John B. Kunklc, also a member of tho
Aero Club of Pennsylvania and a member
of several Important committees of tho
club, suggests that tho Marconi invention
may deal with a new method of wireless
by which It will bo possible for aeroplanes
or dirigibles to communicate with each
other when In mldnlr. At present com
imunlcatlon with tho ground Is possible
but receiving nnd taking orders from
planes In the air Is not a success.
Mr. Kunklo also suggests that the new
Invention may have something to do with
tho control of a stabilizing appnratus by
uso of tho wireless. This method, he says,
might make aviation safer.
Clarcnco P. Wynno, another member ot
tho Aero Club of Pennsylvania, suggests
that the now Marconi Invention may be
a. method by which aerial torpedoes may
be controlled in tho air by tho use of
wireless. He says ho realizes It sounds
impossible, but adds that torpedoes nre
controlled under water, nnd It Is likely
thnt causing torpedoes to go through tho
air In certain waya Is possible also.
NURSERY AIDS MOTHER
Two Children of Poor Widow Ad

The hustlo nnd bustlo nttendlng n $10,
.000 campaign did not for a mlnuto delay
the managors of tho Franklin Day Nur
sory today In saving n home from disrup
tion. Tho campaign work was halted long
enough today to tako Into tho Institution
two little children, for whoso support their
mother Is unablo to provide.
"My husband died soveral months ngo,"
said tho young mother, "and I can earn
only JG.50 a week. I cannot food or clothe
the children, and I had decided to part
with them by placing them In a State In
stitution. Then a friend told mo of you
people."
The children wero Immediately regis
tered and given good, nourishing food.
The nursery, managed by a group of so
ciety women, has raised nearly half of tho
510,000, Booths In department stores aro
selling 10-cent membership cards, while
many contributions aro being received by
Mrs. George Qulntard Ilorwitz, president
of the nursery, at her home, 1721 Walnut

Magnificent Structure in West Philadelphia Under
going Demolition by Wrecking
Company
The historic Clark mansion nt 4 2d nnd
Locust streets, for 45 years ono of tho
most mngninccnt homes In this city, Is
being torn down to make way for Im
provements. Work on tho destruction of
tho old house, which occupies a block of
about eight ncres. bounded by 4 2d, 43d.
Locust nnd Spruce streets, began two
weeks ago by the Philadelphia Wrecking
and Contracting Company, nnd It Is ex
pected thnt It will tako two months moro
to complete tho project becnuso of the
solid construction of the building.
Tho famous houso, which has been n
landmark to residents of West Philadel
phia, was occupied by Clarcnco Clark,
formerly of K W. Clark & Co., bankers.
Mr. Clark was tho donor of Clark Park,
43d stroct nnd Chester nvcnuo, to tho
city. Tho houso was built 45 years ngo
nt a cost of $300,000, a great part of tho
material having been Imported from Eu
rope for Its construction. Tho houso Is
of brownstone, thrco stories In height,
with n tower.
Hardwood floors, hand-carved mahog

of tho rooms: stained glass windows, said
by art dealers to bo matchless, all go to

MUNITION PLANTS LURE BOY

Want Ads for Messengers Bring Few Replies War
Work at $3 a Day for Unskilled
the Cause
A "boy wanted" advertisement brought
four annllcants to tho offlco of tho Postal
Telegraph Company In n wholo day. A
year ago thero would havo been 25 or 50
youths perhaps oven 75 only too cnger
to don tho blue of a messenger and speed
about ns tho Mercuries of tho metropolis.
But a year ago munition mnklng wasn't
tho frenzied Industry that It has now bo
como In this country. A yonr ago un
skilled labor wasn't being paid $3 n day
ns now. A year ago tho advertising col
umns weren't crowded with tho numerous
nnnounccmnts of Jobs for boys. And a
year ago tho child labor law hadn't gono
into effect.
Ono Saturday not so long ngo a youth
who wns glad to mako $4 or $5 a week
carrying messages to and from n tele
graph ofllco In WcBt Philadelphia Jour
neyed a fow miles to tho south ot tho
city to Eddystone. Thero ho found great
Industrial establishments, In which tho
whirring machinery was novcr silent, day
or night. lie learned that fnbulous sums
wero being poured Into tho coffers of theso
great establishments through tho mnnu
fncturo of Instruments of death, nnd that
sums nlmost as fabulous In comparison
were finding their way Into the pockets of
the workers who mndo theso Instruments
of death.
Ho enmo back to tho city, told his
boss he was through, told his colleagues
of tho new gold llelds ho had discovered,
told his mother that she would not have
to tako In sewing any moro and packed
his trunk. '
Soon other messengers wero resigning-,
kissing fond mothers nnd packing trunks.
Tho nows had spread and tho youthful
adventurers wero oft for tho gold llelds.
Now tho gold fever has become general
and hundreds of boys havo deserted the'
city and tho pursuits of peace
To complicate the situation for the em
ployerot nnd especially for tho telegraph
companies, tho child-labor law went Into
effect. Their wholo system of messenger
scrvlco had to bo rearranged. Roys under
10 had to be sent to school eight hours
a week. Boys under 21 couldn't work at
night. It. A. Black, local manager of tho
Western Union Company, said that the
cost of messenger service has doubled

whoro tho du Pont- powder company has

Eighteen dollars a week Is not bad pay
for a boy,
All this has caused the wages of mes
renger boys to ascend rapidly. Many of
the boys now earn $9 or $10 a week.

DUSE AND D'ANNUNZIO
RECONCILED AT LAST
Famous Actress Hurries to Bed
side of Wounded Poet, Her
Former Admirer
PARIS. April 7. A reconciliation has
taken plncn between llabrlclo d'AnnunzIo,
tho famous Italian poet, and Eleanora
Duse. the noted actress, nftcr nn estrange
ment lasting tw fl cades.
When the great ttrlrcss learned thnt
her former ndmlrcr wns In danger of los
ing his Right, nt a result of an Injury while
scouting In an aeroplane, she rushed to
Home and lemalncd at his bcdsldo until
tho crisis was past
Under tho stimulus of thnt reunion, nnd
of tho patriotic flro that burns In tho
hearts of both those great artists, their
friends hno witnessed nn tipsprlnglng of
I deep tenderness between them. It differs
I from tho passion ot earlier days, whet,
their lovo and their quarrels wero tho
talk of Hut ope. In Duse's new demeanor
toward tho poet tho onlookers pcrcelo
i signs of tho deep-lying j?plrit of maternity,
which nono hno known better than sho
how to portray. And d'AnnunzIo, now a
bald little nun of middle age, seems to
lean upon her affection with something of
tho dependence that is nn essential part
of filial love.
It was not so In the days preceding his
noel, "Tho Klanie," In which ho played
the part of a vlvlscrtor to her heart, mercl- i
lessly exposing tho Inmost workings of a
lovo nffalr between n passlonnto woman
past her youth and n poet many years !
her Junior. I
About n year befnrn the war broke out
d'AnnunzIo announced to tho world that

should dlscmer some now sensation, ho
would kill himself.
