They fought over two city blocks

Mrs. Vanderpool, with her sister,
was walking west On Olive street
when she caught sight of her husband
and Mrs. Jones.
Here is the fight by rounds:
First Round--Mrs. Vanderpool, ad.

tented with her handbag and landed
a swinging left with her umbrella.
Mrs. Jones turned and assumed a de-
fensive attitude with box of shoes.
Mrs. Vanderpool swung wildly with
her purse and Mrs. Jones clinched,
holding her opponent by the hair, hon.

Second Round-Mrs. Jones, by clev-
er footwork, forced Mrs. vanderpool
to follow her a block, to Tenth and

exchange and a mixup, in which Mrs.
Vanderpool bored in with the brim of

Air in Constant Turmoil.

THE chief trouble" the brothers ex.
planned, lis the turmoil of the air.
The common impression is that the
atmosphere runs In comparatively reg
ular currents which we call winds.
No one who has not been thrown about
on gliding aeroplane-rising or fall
ing ten, 20 or even 30 feet in few
seconds-can understand how utterly
wrong this idea is. The air along
the surface of the earth, as a
matter of fact, is continually churn-
ing. II is thrown upward from every
irregularity, like sea breakers on

building sends up a wave or slanting

like the sea, but in whirling rotary
masses. Some of these rise up hun.
dreds of yards. In fairly strong
wind the air near the earth Is more
disturbed than the whirlpools of Nj
agara.
THE problem of mechanical flight
is how to balance in This moving fluid
which supports the flying machine; or,
technically speaking, how 10 make the
center OF gravity coincide with the
center of air-pressure. The wind often

when one of his wings broke and he
sustained injuries which caused his
death a few days later.
On this side of the Atlantic, Prof.
s. p. Langley conducted some notable
experiments, fashioning In 1896 a
small, steamdriven aeroplane which
made flight of three-quarters of a
mile. In the same year Chanute of
Chicago constructed gliding ma

Four years later the Wright brothers,
two young bicycle makers of Dayton,
began experimenting.
1t was not long before their efforts
began to attract attention. But they
sedulously avoided notoriety, kept
their own counsel, and devoted them
selves to the task of solving the prob
lem of mechanical flight. Mr.. Turner,
however, gained their confidence. and

No trouble at all, the policeman
insisted, and stuffing his gloves in his

Donnelly.

Terminating them from its practice
The second movement has for it's
immediate outcome this idea of nup-
tials by photograph. There are about
10O, 900 Japanese in the United States,
and fully 80 per cent. of them lead
single lives. Such a condition was
tolerable so long as a settlers object
consisted merely in earning as fast as
possible enough to return home. But
in view of the anti-Oriental spirit now
prevailing in the United States, the
Japanese residents see that the only
practical remedy lies in becoming per
manent settlers, and in carrying out
that program a wife is a prime essen
tial
To return to Japan, however, for
the purpose of providing himself with
a wife means not only that a man
would have to incur great expense,
but also that it would be more than
doubtful whether he could re-enter the
only feasible alternative is to get a,
wife over from Japan without going to
fetch her.
All this appears no. have been an
tieipated very eleverly by the we'll
known Mr.. Shimanuki, a prominent
Christian. Some time ago he estab-
lished in the Koisikawa suburb of
Tokyo an institution called the Ryok-
kokai. which may be freely translated
Self-Help society
The inmates OF this institution,
mostly graduates from girls high
schools. receive education in all sub
iects likely to be of practical utility,
such as housekeeping, cooking, sew
ing, typewriting, etc. In fact they are
expressly equipped to be the wives of
Japanese settlers in the United
States
1t is between this institution and
the Japanese settlers that photo
graphs have been exchanged. and by
this means the settlers are enabled
to obtain helpmates whose qualifica-
lions. and record are. known and
whose appearance is rendered familiar
by the photographs. The idea is that
if the settlers thus marry and bring
up families, their sons will become
naturalized American citizens, and by
degrees the anti-Japanese feeling in
the United States will die out. The
conception seems eminently practical
and useful. nor can we doubt for a
moment that the japanese authorities
in Tokyo will refrain from interfering
with the program.-Japanese Weekly

And what was more Mary Fouts
made a whisky of no mean reputa-
ton. She raised her own crop of
corn and coaxed it as only farmer
who loves his growing things can
coax. And then she made it into the
right sort of whisky, pure and IN
adulterated
Il would not adulterate my whisky
for any price. nor for the whole
world said Miss Fouts in a recent
interview-and she meant it. No
head of a great food factory ever re-
garded the output of his establishment
with greater reverence and pride and
affection than does Mary Fouts the
product of her Illicit still. And down
there in Kentucky when a man wants
the real thing in whisky he demands
Mary Fouts' whisky, willingly pay
ing the higher price asked for her
brand.
Now, of course, the United States
government, with its mighty system of
officers and spies, was not ignorant
of Mary Fouts and her calm. unwaver-
ing violation of the laws. But how to
reach Mary Fouts without sacrificing
a woman who sinned only because she
thought it no sin. but her right, was
a problem even for a great govern
ment. If Mary Fouts would kindly
sneak out of her stronghold and muir
der man in cold blood, then the law
might take its course. But Mary Fouts
was distressingly peaceable and in
dustrious. She attended strictly to
her own business.
Mary Fouots did not come to town
nor haunt highways But she certain
tainly did know how to guard her
property. particularly her still. This
had a natural barricade of rocks, and
behind this barricade Mary Fouts kept
a collection of Winchesters and am
munition which meant a fight to a
finish-and it is a sorry thing for
posse of men to find themselves fight
ing against one intrepid woman who
had been guilty of no greater offense
than turning the product of her own
land into cash according to the meth
DDS followed by her ancestors for gen
erations. And of these ancestors she
was as proud as the scions of English
nobility of the ancestors who fought
under William the Conqueror.
But something had to be done.
There were seven counts against Miss
Fouts The government felt that pa
thence, even with a fair woman. had
ceased to be a virtue The dignity
of the law must be maintained, with
out bloodshed if possible. with blood
shed if necessary. But first diplo-
macy
A revenue officer sent to Miss Fouts
by trusted friend to the moonshiner
this message in writing:
Meet us at the schoolhouse on Bea-
yer Greek Thursday and promise you
will never violate the law, never
moonshine any more. and we Will see
