Fresh Alr.

"Fresh air is good Investment

Office, or the factory" says ID. d.
Windsor in the january Popular
Mechanics. with out 1t the

sary amount ofoxygen. The Indian

little difference between breathing

in the same tub of water that has

Mr.. Windsor follows this lead

LONGINGS.

Oft at night when all is silent,
And the world is lost in sleep,
Cling about MY pillow memories
OF a woodland still and deep.
Meadows clothed in softest violets,
Shaded paths SO sweet to roam,
Visions of vineclad cottage
That once meant to me home.
Stands ajar the door at evening,
While within the bright lights burn,
Round the fire loved ones gather
To wait in rapture my return.
Perchance they speak quite often
Of honor, wealth and fame,
Hoped for their absent loved one
Whom the world has stamped with
shame.
Little know they that my absence
Brings to me the greater grief;
That freedom in their presence
Would Danish pain and bring relief.

THE SHIPS OF YULE.

w hen was just HCtl0 OOy,
Before I went to school,
I had feet of forty sail
/ called the Ships of Yule.
OF every rig, from rakish brig
And gallant barkentine
To little Fondy fishing boats,
With gunboats painted green.
They used to go on trading trips
Around the world for me,
For though had to stay on shore
NV heart was on the sea.
They stopped at every port of call
From Babylon to Rome,
To load with all the lovely things
We never had at home;
With elephants and ivory
Bought from the King of Tyre,
And shells and silk and sandal wood
What sailor men admire;
With figs and dates from Samarcand,
And squatty ginger jars,
And scented silver amulets
From Indian bazaars;
With sugarcane from Port of Spain,
With monkeys from Ceylon,
And paper lanterns from Pekin
With painted dragons on;
With cocoanuts from Zanzibar,
And pines from Singapore;
And when they had unloaded these
They could 60 back for more.
And even after I was big
And had to go to school,
My mind was often far away
Aboard the Ships of Yu'e.

Wife'S Suicidal Mania Causes
Husband TO Seek For Divorce

Chicago Aug: Eff ones wife can
not kill herself after five attempts her
husband is entitled to a divorce. This
is not a decision handed down by a
circuit or superior court judge but the
reason given by Thomas J. Croack of
Hammond Ind. why he should have the
ties which bind him to Mrs. Croack
severed.
In a petition filed yesterday Croack
asserts that during the past few
months his wife has attempted to end
her life five times and by five different
methods.
I'm tired of her trying to kill her
self and that's why want a DIVORCE

Are YOU living in fear that Mrs.
Croack might use dynamite, nitro

Indiana Party Leaders Tell of
Objection to Primary
Law,
EXPOSE SOME SKELETONS
TESTIMONY GATHERED YESTER.
DAY BY NEW YORK LEGlSLA-
TIVE COMMITTEE At SESSION
IN INDIANAPOLIS.

Indianapolis, Aug. 21.-When the
New York legislative committee that
is seeking information on the direct
primary systems of various states, left
here last night for Detroit. it carried
away a large volume of testimony
from republican and democratic lead
erS.
Many objections were raised to the
direct primary plan, the principal ones
being the expense and that good men
hesitate to become candidates. Very
few asserted direct nominations are
better than the convention system.
Political Skeletons.
Some of the political skeletons were
paraded for the benefit of the New
York assemblymen. NJ. l.. Clawson, Il
republican, declared that in the re-
cent primaries here William n. Hard
ing. defeated candidate for the republi-
can nomination for mayor. had the
active support of the gas and street
car company. He charged r. Taggart
and Crawford Fairbanks. the million
aire Terre Haute brewer. with being
sponsors for the candidacy Of Charles
Clarke, who was defeated for the
democratic mayoralty nomination.
Albert w. Wishard said that there
never was a time when the republi-
can party had two weaker men as can
didates for mayor than in the recent
primaries.
H. w. Klausmann. republican city
chairman expressed the opinion that
the direct primary law is a step in the
right direction. Ernest Bross. editor
of the Indianapolis Star. expressed
preference for the convention system,
but said that the direct primary plan
has taken a deep hold on the masses.

Mathematics and Launching.

The launching of vessel Is prima.
rily a matter Of mathematics. In a
ship Of immense size it calls for a vast
amount Of calculation before the first
step is taken in the actual work. In
the first place. the specific gravity Of
the vessel must be figured out so as to
allow for the various strains to which
the hull is subjected on its slanting
journey into the water. with its sud
den plunge az the bow drops from the
ways. An enormous amount OF data
must be collected to tx this center Of
gravity. The weight Of all the mate
rail that has gone into the vessel up
to the time Of the launching. the dis.
tribution Of this weight. the weight OF
chains and anchors and other material
placed on board preparatory to the
launch must all be considered. When
the center of gravity is fixed the sue
cessful shipbuilder knows just how to
build his launching ways and just
where to strengthen them. He knows
then by a little calculation how long
each part Of the vessel will be SUBJ
jected to certain strains and how best
to prepare for them. He can figure
almost to the second how long the
ship will be in sliding into the water.

Items Gathered in

AZ TO Seeing America First.

From the Springfield Republican.
What has become Of the movement
iuaugurated SO energetcially a little
time ago for inducing Americans to
travel over their own country before
going. abroad? No trace of Its labors,
certainly is to be found in the summer
tourist tide which seems to be as large
as. ever, OF late, in fact. there has
been less discussion as to how Ameri-
cansmay be kept at home than as to
how the may be taught more about the
outsidevwo From various sources
has come. the complaint that children
aresgrowing up in the belief that their
country is SO superior in every point to
all others that study foreign ways
except for the sake of drawing con-
trast, flattering to patriotic pride is
quite needless. 1t does not to be sure
follow that this state of mind is ne
cessarily amended by foreign travel,
because the eye sees pretty much what
it expects and wishes to see.

the near future is predicted for the
