Washington may lock and marvel that
a genuine type.of the girl which Howard
Chandler Christy presented several
years ago is right here in its midst.
Most Fascinating.
Other girls have had their day, but
the Christy girl proved to be the most
fascinating and the smartest Of them
all Her high bred bearing attracted
international attention, and after having
been found elsewhere, though not in
great numbers. a search was made for
her in Washington. She has been found
and today greets The Times readers
from its pages.

drawings have found place in every
reputable magazine in the country and
several new books Of each season. has
laid aside his pencil and for the next
six months or a year he viii rest far

wife and young daughther has secluded
himself in Ohio, where he may regain
his health and be enabled TO return TO
the field from which he gained fame.
Gives Up $4,000 a Year.
He has practically giveE up an income
OF $4,000 a year. but as he has been
drawing that several years. he can
afford 70 fOrego the temptation to keep

BOMBS WEIGH TOO MUCH
FOR WAR BALL00NING

PARIS, July IA distinguished
French officer has just benn comment
ing upon the reports Of an American
balloon passing over Staten island
which threw paper bombs into tbs
forts. These bombs. had they been real
would have sent the whole Of the fcrt1
and garrisOns 10 smithereens.
The French officer considers he haa
even more efectually demolished the
contention Of the Staten island balloon
ist He maintains that no balloon
which has ever vet been built could
carry anything as heavy as real pro-
{ectiies a balloon might indeed, carry
about 100 Kilograms OF bombs, but IN
this case they could not be thrown with
anything like precision.

A Mistake Corrected.

It is mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medi-
cines, because the stomach is not 81
ways out of order when the liver is, or
vica versa. While it is true that these
organs are so closely related that when
one is affected the other is likely to be
also, still there are times when one is
affected and the other is not. 1t is
serious error to give liver medicine
combined with a stomach meoicine
when the stomach only needs treat
ment, and it is not necessary to treat
the stomach when the liver only is dis
ordered. Rydale's method is the most
sensible one. He does not combine the
two, but makes a tablet for the stomach
and tablet for the liver, which can be
combined if necessary. Guaranteed by
Dr.. W. E. Brown & Co.

It has sometimes been said that fish

is true to the extent that nothing can
supply the lack Of certain inherent.
constitutional and Unborn qualities OF
traits which are absolutely necessary
to a isherman'S makeup. Of course
there are many who call themselves
fishermen and who insist upon their
membership in the fraternity who nave
not in their veins I drop OF legitimate
fisherman blood Their self asserted
relationship is nevertheless sometimes
seized upon by malicious or ignorant
critics as permitting tie assumption
that the weaknesses and sins Of these
pretenGers are the weaknesses and
sins Of genuine fishermen. But in
truth these pretenders are only inter
lopers who. have learned a little fish
language, who love to fish only when
they bite who whine at bad luck,
who betay incredulity when they hear
8 rousing fish story and who do or
leave Ondooe many other things fatal
to good and regular standing. They
are like certain whites called sQuaw
men who hang about Indian reserva-
tons and gain certain advantages IN
the tribes by marrying full blooded In
dian women. Surely no just person
would for a moment suppose that gen

shocked at NJ. Moaselet's ignorance

wrote an article about it in his paper.
which ran SIS follows:

which contains definitions showing the
most extraordinary ignorance, such as
