said. Was EsrtbeN for City Contracts.

Harvey S. Armstrong, formerly an Alder
man at Mount Vernon, was sentenced to mot
less than year and not more than year
and ten months, by Justice Davis in the
Criminal Branch Of the Supreme Court.
A number Of prominent friends of Arm
strong interceded for him and when
Justice Davis said he would deal leniently
with the prisoner many believed that he
intended to suspend sentence.
Armstrong, while president of the Arm
strong Bolton Company, misappropriated
funds of the concern, The company had
about 500 900 worth of contracts to supply
the city with steam-heating plants. The
complaining witness, James X. Bolton,
treasurer of the concern. said that Arm
strong had collected about $4,000 from
the city and appropriated the checks to
his own use.

paid out as brides for securing city con-
tracts. He wouldn't tell who had received
the bribes.

Women Growing Wiser and
Wasp Waists Out=of=Date

Are We womankind growing wiser,
or is it merely the inevitable turning
Of the wheel of fashion that has
brought in the modern corset? Ger
tain it is that Fashion has decreed
that we shall no longer have wasp
like waists The sculptors and
painters who have all along been tell
ing us of the beauties of the natural
unhampered waist will say, What
have we been telling you?' and will
point out to us the examples of
the world of art and the figures OF
the old masters.
But then We know all of that, and
most of us wished for this happy
period to come but what can woman
do when Fashion sets the pace? Very
few of us have the courage of our
convictions when it comes to disre-
garding the mandates of that terrible
ruler. OF course we had the plea of
the necessity Of something to hang
and drape our clothes on and the need
Of certain amount of support, but
the fact remains that thousands of
women and girls have been hurried to

The modern corset is mere band
of whalebonc and ribbons compared
with the steal-ribbed. unylelding
"straightjacket" worn some years ago.
The corset of today is made on entire
ly different lines, being short, of soft
material, with but a couple of bones
and it is shaped on hygienic and phys
iological principles, giving the intern
al organs a proper amount of space
and freedom and allowing ample play
for the movement Of the ribs and up
per breast in breathing.
Probably one Of the most prolific
agents in bringing about this FORUM
ate change Is the modern devotion to
outdoor games, pastimes and pursuits
No woman squeezed up in an old-fash-
ioned corset, such as our mothers
wore could, even had she dreamed Of
such thing, walk a half mile, let
alone run and stoop, strike at ball,
manipulate a fishing rod or paddle
canoe. And the results are most
gratifying, for never in the worlds

of strong healthy girls and beautiful,
graceful and happy women as we are.

in rare cases, his desire being not
to raise himself very high, but to be
able to move rapidly forward.
The exterior aspect of the machine
presents two large disks, made like
two flattened lamp shades, turning
on pivots fixed to the extremitles OF a
horizontal bar, which, at the middle,
is attached to the perpendicular bars
supporting the propeller and rudder,
and also the car, with its motor Of
tourteen-horse power.
The motor acts upon the propeller
(placed in 'front.' and the two disks.
The propeller will make from ten to
fifteen revolutions per second.
The disks are constructed on the
principle of an American win'mill,
the wings being of cloth, triangular in
shape.

diameter turn in opposite directions,
at the rate of eighty revolutions per
minute.

Summed up says tho inventor, this
aviator presents a type Of automobile
much faster than the kind that runs
on the ground, for the reason that it
encounters but few obstacles, and ac-
cordingly, the dangers of collisions
are mimimized, and public trffic is
in no degree interrupted.
NJ. Willard has devoted five years to
his invention, which is SO nearly per
fected that he expects to begin his
trials in public within few days. His
first experiments were conducted in
the courtyard of the Hotel de Vile of
Schaesbeck. near Brussels.
He constructed the various parts of
the machine in the cellar of the Mont
de Piete Of Brussels, using candles for
lighting.
Recently he established his head
quarters in the big hall of the Para
du Cinpuantenaire, where the final
assembling Of the machine has been
accomplished.
NJ. Willard has maintained the clos
est secrecy in his work, and the fore
going description is the first that has
been communicated to the newspapers.

The object for which the best

not that fill the average cook book,
but to instill into the beginners mind
the supreme Importance of thorough

proper and appropriate treatment
of each kind; also the use in other
kinds of odds and ends-scraps is
not exactly the word-for the careful

There is now being constructed in
Brussels a new aerial machine, the
plan of which is considered more
ambitious than any of those that have
been evolved in the empire of air"
up to the present.

meters in such way as to be able
to benefit in speed by the diminution
in the resistance to the movement
The reasoning is that resistance is
less on steel surface than on the
ground, less on water than on steel.
and still less in the air than on water.

bile can be raised over obstacles.
such as hedges. houses or trees.
