was advanced in years.
Proof exists that she was living last

terviewed recently, expressed the firm
belief that she was nearly 100 years Of
age. Yet death was not due To senile
decay, but as revealed on post NOR

installation of the mammoth compressed
air plant, mentioned in these letters some
months ago, is progressing 10 successful
termination.
Later information is, in effect, that be-
sides operating cars by its power, the
Metropolitan Traction company will offer
compressed air for sale to any one wlih!ng
to make use of 1t for the operation of light
machinery. It is further stated that in
asmuch as the escape Of highly compressed
air that has not been relocated produces
intense cold it will be sold extensively for
refrigerating purposes and also for the
operation OF electric motors. This last
appears truly singular, yet experts say
that power can thus be transmitted moro
economically than by the wire and that
several vast fortunes are sure ultimately
to be gathered here by those who engage

Now It's Pneumatic Corsets

A corset made of rubber is adapted
for the use of women who are learning
to swim. The corset is cut on the
same general line as all corsets, and
made double, so that the air space be-
tween the two thicknesses may be blown
up, and serve not only to present a
neat appearance to the figure, but also
to buoy it up and give confidence to
the timid. A lack of confidence is
responsible for the slowness with
which this accomplishment is learned
by women, and this corset should
prove boon to women who delight in
aquatic sports, but who have no
hardihood for them. The very knowl-
edge that they cannot sink leaves
their brain clear enough to think of
the proper stokes for hands and feet,
and as soon as they find they can move
through the water from one place to
another, and become accustomed to
these movements, the corset may be
discarded. 1t is much more shapely
than the big rubber rings and cork
life-preservers, and, in fact, does not
show Mt all, as it conforms to the
shape of the wearer

and in two instances, married the
couples, the grooms at the front and
the brides at home in Pennsylvania.
All the questions were asked and
answered by mail witnesses were pro-

done. The archdeacon says, however,
that he will repeat the ceremony if
the bridegrooms are not left on some
battlefield.

A TOWN RULED BY LOVE.

Neither Money Nor Punishments
Needed i'm Common wealth, Ga.
The most unique settlement in the
United States is the town of Com
monwealth, Ga.
There is no need for money at Com
monwealth, for everything goes into
the common fund, and every man
shares exactly alike. There are no
rich people in Commonwealth and no
poor people. All work for one another
and the law and creed of the COM
munity is Glove" If a person wishes
to build n house the lumber is fur
nished from the mill operated by the
members of the settlement. If vege-
tables are wanted the common garden
supplies the need.
The settlement is run on the co.
operative plan. "Love thy neighbor
as thy SELF" is a law that is strictly en-.
forced.
Two years ago Commonwealth was
founded by a few experimentalists.
Now it is village of 70 families. work.
ing about 1000 acres, at one time a
plantation. The old-fashioned home
OF the ante-bellum planter is now one
of the town buildings. Besides this,
there are several dwelling houses, a
printing Office, large school-house,
sawmill and a general dining-hall.
Commonwealth has its school, pa
per, mill and clergyman. A maya
zine called Social Gospel. setting
fourth the teachings of the commun-
ity, is published every month.
Many talented men and brilliant
women have gone to this little Georgia
village to live the law of love. Even
in the school, good work and good be-
havior are enforced not by the rod but
by love. In this community there is
said to be no jealousy, no envy, no
strife. This simple creed hangs upon
the wall of every cottage.
"Thou shalt love the Lord, thy
God, with all thy heart, and thy
neighbor as thyself.
"Love worketh no i'll to his neigh
Dor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of
the law.
"This is my commandment: That
ye love one another rs l have loved
you.
"He that loveth not his brother
whom he hath seen, cannot love God
whom he hath not seen. And this
commandment have we from Him,
that he who loveth God love his
brother also"
