Danger in Diphtheria.

Chicago's health authorities are
starting an active campaign against
diphtheria, the disease which is giving
the department the hardest fight at
present DR.. Evans, the health COM
missioner, declares that the diphtheria
patients themselves are not the great

by those who have recovered and have.

these who have been associated with
diphtheria patients. According to
Dr. Evans, it is possible for a perfectly
healthy person to carry diphtheria
germs in his mouth or clothing. The
aim of the department will be to iso-
late all patients until they are abso-
lutely free from the diphtheria ba-

The Emotional Jury.

Rev. Anna Shaw was discussing
playfully her contention-raised at
Mrs. Clarence Mackay's house-that
man, not woman, was too emotional to
vote.

all these extraordinary jury stories
They show the most intense emotion

do with woman.
For instance, there's the story of
the Tin Can murder. The jury re-
NAMED out "a hours. Then it filed
back into the courtroom, very stale
and ill-humored.
Gentlemen, what is your verdict?
said the Judge.
"'Wall, said the foreman, IL on us

the twelfth man sticks out for acquit-

For an instant nothing was visible,
and then there leaped into the air a
vertical beam of red. Beside it came
another steady ray of brilliant white,
and then to complete the color trio a
vivid shaft of blue arrayed itself be-
side the other two. Outside in the

burst of cheering, and the cabin was
again flooded with light. The old ad-

aglow and his cap in his hand.

Before he had finished speaking the
signal calling hearers to the wireless
telephone buzzed mistakenly, and he
turned to answer. From the dome
above they could see answering lights
playing rapidly from their own craft.
They heard Bevins talking to some
one eXcitedly, and peering once more
through the side ports saw they were
rushing onward to meet this other
traveller Of the spaces. With decreas-
ing speed the two approached each
other, retaining their altitude high
above and beyond sound of the sea.
Now they were floating abreast. and
finally, after a moments tensity, they
came to stop. Their metal sides

selves for further communication.
simultaneously their great ports
slid open, and the king, who had gone
to the companionway, saw the interior
of the other radioplane. Bevins and
Brockton in delight were shaking
hands and congratulating each other.
They talked for moment, and then
the rear admiral retired from view.
Bevins turned to the king and said:

Before the king could give his as

the threshold, and stood before the

may have had of his reception were

ponderously edged his way forward

Mr.. G0SLINGTOM FEELS GOOD
Has Discovered That He Can Wear
New Clothes Without Being
Stared at in Street.

well, now" said Mr.. Goslington,
this is encouraging; | have sported
out in a new suit of clothes without
having anybody stare at me, great
advance on anything I've done yet.
In such circumstances l used to be
so self-conscious that in my efforts
to appear natural | made myself all
the more conspicuous, so that every
body stared at me, to my further
great embarrassment and confusion,
but this time | seem to have got
through very nicely; nobody noticed
me at all.
II don't know why it is. but we all
seem when we put on new clothes to
imagine ourselves the center OF all
observation, and so despite the pride
we may have in them wearing them
the first time may be great trial. l
knew a man once who used to break
in his new clothes gradually.
This friend of mine when he got
a new suit would first wear the
trousers with an old waistcoat and
coat. The next day he would wear
the new waistcoat with old trousers
and coat, and then he'd wear the new
coat, with old waistcoat and trousers.
In this way he sort of accustomed
himself to his new things gradually,
so that he didn't feel so strange in
them, and then on the fourth day he'd
swell out in the new suit complete.
"And he thought this helped him =
heap, and l dare say it did help him
some; but it never appealed to me
and 1t looked like running away,
anyhow; and so when I've got a new
suit l have just put it on and worn 1t.
/ have seemed self-conscious in it and
l know it, so that / walked differently
and acted differently in some way SO
that | attracted attention. but 1 have
braved it out, and now l realize that
/ must have been improving.
For yesterday l wore for the first
time new suit and absolutely nobody
looked at me, and that is encouraging.
l don't know but that / would have
felt little better if one or two, just
one or two, had looked at it, but
am nightly pleased to have had no.
body look at it. For really it makes
me feel that l am getting on. A man
has really got to be somebody when
he can wear lew clothes without hav-
ing people stare at him in the street"

the streets for a sight of this mysteri'
Gus aerial visitor. Reaching the low
er edge of the city, the radioplane shot
up and up until it was a speck of light
against the stars, took one last cir
cling flight, and with marvellous
speed disappeared in the east. And
while America was gaining her first
knowledge of this incredible flying
machine, the Roberts was shooting
away in long straight track for the
old world.
The king had watched the sights
below as long as they were visible.
Through his glasses he had seen the
streets become filed with excited
men, women and children, and their
shoutings had come to him family
above the hum of the dynamos. The
glimmerings of the great harbor
dimmed and died away, and here and
there could be deserted the lights of
the slow steaming patrol ships keep
ing the outpost watch upon the sea.
When the last sign Of life had van
ished, he turned to his companions liz
silence, thinking of all that had taken
place within the few recent hours.
Only short time ago they had en-
tered this aerial chamber, standing in
dread of the unknown terror of the
waters and the menacing silence OF
this western continent they were leav-
ing behind. Only a few hours past
they had trembled at the powerless-
ness of their nation and shudderingly
awaited the shock of invasion.
Now they were going back to Eng
land bearing news that would upset
old ideas, remove all fear for the fu-
ture, and ally her with the most pow
erful nation history had ever known.
They had sailed away furtively with
darkened ports, and were now return
ing in a glare Of white light, careless
of who might observe. Events had
followed each other in such remark
able sequence, with such astounding
rapidity, that il wearied the mind to
follow them. The king was ponder
ing over the new situation when with
no preliminary notice every light in
the radioplane went out and they were
left in darkness.
From without and through the open
door came the voices of the admiral
and engineer in conversation:
1T can't be an enemy"
Hardly; but we dare take no
chances"
What do you think it is?"
II don't know. A minute or two
will tell II they have seen us"
The king and his countrymen
fumbled for their glasses in the dark
ness, found them, and lined them
selves up against the transparent
port which had not been closed. The
cause of the sudden cautionary meas
ures was apparent There, compare
lively far away, and high up against
the starlit sky, they saw the blazing
line of n searchlight thrust up into the
