indeternlinate term. She was taken
to prison today.
Miss Dixon was able to obtain

forgery was filed and there became
rumor3 of othsr populations, her
bOndsmen became alarmed and sur
rendered her to the sheriff She has

Cleaner society, and the money she
appropriated was to have been used
to pay for new organ. When the

EXHIBITION OF INVENTIONS
AT JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION

NORFOLK, Va, May ga most
interesting feature of the Jamestown
exposition, on Hampton Roads, near
Norfolk, Va, which opened April 20,
and will lclose November Goth, is the
Section for Inventions in which
inventors are invited to display their
inventions and demonstrate their
value to visitors.
The invention is open to all, and
every facility is offered in the way
of floor space, tables, and shelves,
advertising cards and labels, electric
current, gas, lights, etc. A modest
fee of from ten to not more than
thirty dollars, except in very special
cases, is charged for such space and
service. The service includes, as we'll
as the general care of models, expla-
nations to visitors, and the return of
the exhibit at the close of the expo
sition.
Awards will be made of gold, sill
yer and bronze medals and diplomas.
That inventors are alive to this I'M
paralleled opportunity for making
public their creations, is shown by
the fact that within four weeks after
the first notice was sent out by the
Bureau of Inventions of the James
town exposition, applications are now
coming at the rate of a hundred a
day.
The inventors are not the only
ones who will profit by this display,
for the exhibition cannot fail to be
of interest and material benefit to
the public at large Never before
has such an opportunity been pre-
sent at any exposition, and now that
the first step has been made in this
direction, such exhibitions of inven-
lions will no doubt become a part OF
all future expOsitiOns.
