Two American inventors, the Wright

Cures, George Kibbe Turner tells the
history of the experiments which have
resulted in this remarkable flying ma

selves:

troll a secret. We could patent many

ble that we could make a success of
the invention commercially. We have
been approached by many promoters
on the matter. But we believe that our

do this. it is necessary for us to keep

Women Tougher Sex.

Although men, as they run, are.
perhaps, muscularly stronger than
women, their inability to withstand
the elements and their reliance upon
clothes places them considerably be-
low the so-called weaker sex in the
matter of unclothed toughness Wom-
en- wear clothes for ornament; men
use them as protective covering. A
group of men marooned clothesless
on an island in the temperate zone,
might be expected to die off in a
Month from drafts and colds and
rheumatism. The health of women
similarly placed would suffer little
from exposure. The fact appears to
be, therefore, that in everything but
muscle-in vitality, ruggedness, char
acter, disposition, brain power, ETC.
woman is the tougher, not the weaker,
sex.

West Hammond and East
Chicago Boundary Lines
Scenes of Blazes.

Two barns were destroyed by fire
last night, one in West Hammond and
the other near the East Chicago line.
The barn on the farm of Mike Ry-
chwalski was a total loss, there being
no water in that neighborhood. Fire
department No went to the scene, but
could do nothing without water. The
farm is LOCATED about half mile east

much of a start and destroyed the
building. The loss is estimated at $3.50.

The carefulness with which the pro-
gram has been prepared shows that the

OF kill the bill today by the indirect
method of adopting minority COM

II that fails they will not have
much hope of defeating the bill on its

so to riddle the bill with amendments

improbable any action that will be
