for a Texas woman, the wife OF a cele-

form the hazardous feat of making an

From the beginning of ner husbands
scientific experiments toward solving the

she has been his most interested and
anxious associate. It was her fear for
the safety Of her sons, who are also
much interested in kite-hying. which first
induced Mrs Cody TO try flying. They
persuaded her that IL she once tried

only the excitement OF a fellow enthusi-

be the case. and she has made several
safe journeys in the upper air.

husbands invention she says, and
encourage him to go on and improve on

him TO promise that during his next eX-

The width and shape Of the skirts are
quite different from last years style

VlVA-VOCE SYSTEM

The City Democratic Committee held a
long session last night. and after electing
Mr.. A. " Shea of the firm Of Cox &
Shea, member OF the body from Mon
roe Ward to succeed Captain Harry l..
Watson. resigned and wrangling for sew
elal hours over the adoption OF plan
for the legislative primary. recommitted
the latter to the plans committee, and
adjourned to meet again on Friday night
at S:15 o'clock.
The two questions which consumed the
entire evening were in relation to who
shall be allowed to vote in the primary.
and whether the plan shall be strictly
viva voce or not, in accordance with the
plan provided by the State COMMITTEES.
One wing Of the body seemed to desire
the use Of the old registration books.
while another contended that It would
not be proper to allow persons to parti-
clpate in the primary who will be dis
qualified to vote at the general election.
This question went over unsettled, ana
will come up at the next meeting
But it was the viva voce section thai
caused the heartiest discussion. One side
wanted printed tickets used as check
on the election officers, and the other de-
sired the old viva yoce system, without
tickets The latter view prevailed, and
the whole plan was recommitted win
instructions to the plans committee to
report accordingly on Friday night.
Up to this time Messrs. I. T. Christian,
r. B. tThomason, H. Lee Watson and f.
p. Cox have notified Chairman Doherty
of their intention OF running for the
House. Mr.. Hartman is the only candl-
date for the Senate so far.
