NEW Y. M. C. A', .A2 CAPREOL.
This new *l3,000 railway Y,M.C.A,, now under construct -ion by Canadian rational Railways, will mean. much to the inhabitants of the little
railway town of Capreol, which has sprung up during the last five years, on the main line of Canadian National Railways between Toronto and
,Winnipeg, and now boasts of a population of between five and six hundred railway. employees who with their families have located there. It will
• provide a community centre where the people may meet together in a social way, and hold. meetings and concerts.
• The new "I” will undoubtedly fill a wide gap in the life of Capreol in providing a community centre or clubhouse, with its library-, billiard room,
writing room, cafeteria and large main hall or rotunda, which could be used to excellent advautage for a lecture, concert, dance, or any large community
- The building- has a concrete foundation, its outer walls axe of brick finished with stucco and the sloped roof is covered with cedar shingles. Theregath.oh t g. - . -... • ,, . .ere
_s a large lower and upper verandah across the front, supported by a portico of four pillar., and from the centre of the lower verandah one enters
through a vestibule into the main rotunda, in the centre of which and opposite the door, in.a spec:ions alcove, is a large brick. fireplace. Just to the'
left of the entrance the manager's room and office is situated, while immediately to the left; is.¢ tike library and reading room. Beek of the library,:
separated from the rotunda by pillars, there is a large billiard room and a games rami. •• An open writing. room is also provided at the back of the
.rotunda between the alcove and games room. To the left of the rotunda, between two columns, one enters the dining room or cafeteria, from which,
,through swing doors, aeeess to the kitchen is obtained: The main stairs are situated at the back of the main hall between the kitchen and an alcove,
where there is also a street entrance to the building. •
A simple treatmeut of stucco beams with a plain cornice mould and plaster columna is used throughout the• main floor. The floor is finished with
'hal:, while partitions and trim are of Georgia pine stained and varnished.
On the second floor dere are 18 bedrooms, a stek bay, large toilet and bathroom and linen closets, and frdia the corridors there are exits to four
,balconies, which may he uses( as sleeping porehes, and would prove useful in ease of Bre. On the third floor there -are also 15 single rooms, a double
,aoom, large toilet and. linen closets and access to baleonies from the corridor.

Cards Worth Keeping -
Are many people preserving the
Christmas greetings which they re-
ceived from the front in 191448? They
are certainly worth keeping for his-
torical, no less than personal, reasons:
In 1914 there was a run on cigar -
boxes, and many people in this coun-
try bad delivered to then finely -
carved lids of such receptacles. Coins
were subsequently used to the same
end by some of our soldiers, and many
a bit of aluminum was beaten out and.,
made to bear a Christmas greeting to
the folk at home,
In sone units the men combined
and produced an annual, on the front
of which was printed the old, old wish.
One was the Winnipeg Rifles, which,
for at least two years in succession,
brought out the "Trench Echo."
Another device was to send home
the menu of. the Christmas dinner.
Usually, though designed on the. spot,
it was printed in England, and only
needed a few words scribbled on it to
make an interesting "card." In 1918,
at Steenhecque, the 2 -15th Transport
Section, R.A.S.C., did an eight -page
menu which thus served a double ptir-
pose.
When, too, the war seemed to have
settled down into a permanent thing,
whole divisions went in for a develop•
lent of that great Army institution,
the regimental Christmas card. Some
of the divisional greetings were real
works of. art.
Perhaps the most singular Christ-
mas "carrel" of the war was one print-
ed at Salonica. It was a' four-page

TALKING 2,000 MILES BY
WIRELESS.
Speech Made Across the At.
I. -antic May, "in Near Future,
be Typed in Canada.
A boy stretched himself eon the
banks of a secluded pond.
Picking up a pebble he threw it ire
to the water. As it broke the smooth,
still surface, little rings began to form.,
They grew into ever -widening circles,.
chasing each other across the pond,
eventually disappearing, as it seemed,
into the grassy bank. They continued
to form and to chase each other until
all the energy created'•by the stone
died away.
The incident did not arouse more
than idle interest in the mind of the
boy, yet ,it illustrated a scientific prin
ciple which may revolutionize cor-
meree in the near future.
When concussions occur in the air,
however shall they may be, little
waves run out from the centre of dis-
turbance and chase each other through
space, never halting until checked by
some more potent force. Human in-
ventiveness has discovered how to
harness this mysterious force. We
call it, for brevity'ssake, wireless.
. We have been able to send wireless
telegrams . for some years, And also
wireless telephone messages over
short distances, but the sending of a
verbal message across the ocean. is
another proposition.
A message has been sent in this .
way from Canada to Ireland. Imagine
what it means. It means that when
the system is perfected it will be pos-
sible to carry on a conversation across
the ocean without the USC of wires or
any other visible agency.
Now that the method of utilizing
this force has been discovered, one
wonders wily it was never found out
before. It is all so simple.
Tho voice vibrates a metal- disc
which disturbs the atmosphere, or
something that is in the atmosphere,
and little soaves roll outwards, like
the little waves on the surface of the
pond when the stone falls upon it.
These waves, 'or impulses, go away
with lightning speed, and: their mess-
age is picked up by the aerials. Such

The public have a very faint idea of
the marvels which wireless telephony
achieved during the great war. In the
early stages of the big aerial fights,
the Oerntans were puzzled and not a
little alarmed by the evidence which
circumstances provided that the rode
victuals coluposing our squadrons were
able to coxnrunicate with each other
with comparative ease, even in the
blackness of the darkest night. As a
chatter of fact, they wore speaking to
each other by wireless telephony. ..
Each pilot wore a leather cap, or
(mood, on the ear -flaps of which were
telephone receivers arranged to cut
out extraneous sounds. There was -no
mouthpiece, but a collar fitted closely,
to. the neck. This collar contained the
transmitter. The spoken sounds were
transmitted from the throat of the
speaker instead of the mouth, and the
other pilot received the message with-
out the.accompan�=lug noise of the en-
gines.
M. Abraham and General Ferric,
who have introduced an improvement
in wireless telephony which proved
valuable to the French aviation ser-
vice during the war, predict that be-
fore long wireless conversations be- -
tween France and the United States
will be an everyday occurrence, - •
