TRAPPING LITERARY LIONS.
The Telephone as a Means of Obtain
ing Guests for Luncheon.

'"S 'e'SPnohe as a means OF Obtain
ing Guests for Luncheon.
This hostess loved to have the sort
OF guests that she described as men
that did something" and her special
~ was literary toilers. They seemed to
her mind to represent more real activ-
ity than any other occupation, although
she was not ayerse to an occasional
singer or piano FOUNDER.
1t was a devoted friend who used to-
gather the literary big bugs for her.
This was the somewhat disingenuous
way that he did it,
He used to call mp on the telephone
any celebrity who happened to be in
town at the time and invite him to-
luncheon without mentioning the name
OF the lady. Even literary lions occa-
sionally object to entering, although
under the chaperonage of friends, the
homes of persons they have never met.
All right, the literary friend of the
hostess would say over the telephone
when the invitation was accented.

WHY THIS FIRM WON.
Answered Questions Without Blowing
Its Own Horn.

Its Own Horn.
Out in the middle west there is a
huge manufacturing company. the
largest in the world in that line, it
is said, but it has numerous enter
prising competitors, all of whom ad-
yertise literally.
But this company advertises too,
and for years its appropriation has
been made on an unusual plan The
rule generally with such expenditures
is to set aside a stated sum each
year-sometimes an arbitrary amount,
sometimes a percentage of profits for
the last twClvcmonth
This concern, however, recognizes
that publicity money Is to be spent to
influence next years business-not
last years. SO the gross amount of
next years trade is estimated as
closely as possible, and then Ger
tain percentage of that constitutes
the advertising appropriation.
Before the depression of 1907.0S de-
vcloped, says the Circle. this com
panys business had grown at such a
rate that the annual percentage yield
ed more money than could be spent

lines of the house.

BROTHER IF KAISER TELLS IF TRIP
 IN CLOUDS
PRINCE HENRY GIVES LECTURE ON EXPERIENCES IN ZEP-
 PELIN BALLOON
SPENT FIVE HOURS UP IN AIR
SAYS HE DOUBTS USE OF THE CRAFT IN WAR IN ITS
 PRESENT STAGE

KEEL, April 9 Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, gave an illustrated lecture before the Aero club concerning his fve-hour voy- age in the Zeppelin airship on October I27 last.
 This is the, first narrative of the per. sonal experiences of the prince to be made public. He expressed himself as skeptical of the usefulness of aircraft in the present state of development for war purposes, owing to their inherent weakness and the lack of knowledge of aerial currents.
 The lecture was Illustrated by a ser. ies of splendid moving pictures, which stirred the emotions of the prince E audience. Describing his trip, Prince Henry said:
 "My heart beat fast when we frs; scared in the air. All sorts of questions crowded in on the brain, keeping me in constant state of excitement. The ship gradually rose without apparen, motion, until saw the assistants in the balloon shed looking upward Then i; became suddenly matter of difficulty to ask questions and receive replies, ow. ing to the deafening noise of the motors and the whirling propellers. I was obliged to shout into the ear of my neighbor, but was unable to make my self understood.
 "This disadvantage must be over. come, as an airship's presence would thus be betrayed long distance away
 "A dirigible balloon is exactly like z ship in river; it depends on the eur rents whether it will reach the goa sooner or later or not at all"
 The royal lecturer described his turr at the wheel and concluded by saying; Although the steering tackle is not yet ideal, yet the great ship answered the helm as easily as steam pinnace.
 After picturesque description oi the easy landing on the surface of the water, which was effected without shock, the prince went on to draw con elusions from his experiences.
 "The question of reaching certain Epoint by means of dirigible airship ir l favorable weather,' he said, "may rightly be deemed to have been solved and astonishment is aroused at the sim pie technical means employed. I arr rather skeptical, however, whether air ships can be considered as forming part of our present means of transport ol whether they would be useful for wal purposes. :"

 0F MOTHER EYE
DOCTOR ESTABLISHES MATURE CAMP FOR woMEN-CAMPERs
 CLAD IN SWEET SMILES.

NEW YORK, April 24.--All of the women school teachers of Brooklyn have received a circular announcing that the summer nature camp for wom- en and girls at Sunrise Park, near Richfeld, Conn, will open June l. Dr. A. Sidney Higgins of Brooklyn, who manages the camp, aims to cure nerve and stomach disorders. The rule of the camp is that the campers shall wear no clothing, except in bad or cold weather, and shall live upon fresh milk and cereals.
 Dr. Higgins said that there are no maladies of the kind referred to that cannot be cured by exposing the naked body to sunshine and air, dieting as he prescribes and taking required rest.
 Sunrise Park consists of 1500 acres in an isolated section of Connecticut, four miles from a railroad, in heavily wooded region.
 The doctor occupies house and the campers live in tents at some distance from it. They are required to go to 1 bed at dusk.
 The tents are furnishd with beds and cots, but some of the campers prefer to sleep in hanmocks suspended from trees. Others sleep on the ground Their recreations are archery, tennis qnoits, and swimming. For those in clined to strenuous exercise woodpile and bucksaw are provided. Long walks are taken. On these occasions tho campers wear bathing suits or short single garment. They wear clothing also when they visit the doctor. Tho camp has a matron, but no cook.
 The nature camp was established three years ago. It opens every veal on June l, and ends on September 30 Dr. Higgins abandoned the use of drug' five years ago.
 "The medical profession is top-heavy with the ories,' he said. ''Baek tC nature and first principles is my mot to. p

ALIEN WILL SPEND. THOUSANDS IN PROTEST
MORALES CHINAMAN MAY AP. PEAL CASE OF SUPREME COURT
 or UNITED STATES.

TUCSON, April 24.--An interesting east has developed in the prosecution of Loe Kin Fong, q Chinaman, held by the immigration authorities for illegal residence in this country. Fong's case is now pending n the supreme court of the territory and in the event that the territorial tribunal decides in favor of the government, Fong will establish a record unprecedented by any other Chinaman in this district by carrying the matter to the supreme court of the United States.
 In the face of the fact that the mat ter now involved in the Fong case is of little consequence and but pre- liminary to the cause pending, it is considered remarkable that the Celes. tial should go to the trouble and ex- pense of placing the matter before the highest American tribunal for a decision. Fong is now fighting judg ment of prohibition by the district court in this city stubbornly resisting an at tempt on the part of the federal au- thorities to have his hearing conducted before. Commissioner Riehey in Tue son.
 Fong was arrested in Nogales by Marshal Ben Daniels February :. Att torney Jones, in behalf of the prison CT, immediately put in an application for hearing at the border town. This was resisted by the government and the case was finally carried to the su- preme court of the territory. A de- cision will be rendered by the terri torial court on the 30th of this month. In the event that the Chinaman s case is defeated by this decision, he will bring it before the United States su- preme court at Washington. The ease will then actually come to trial, either at Nogales or Tucson.
 Fong had been resident of Nogales for twenty years when apprehended Through an attorney at that place, he came into possession of passport signed by Secretary John Hay and | crossed the border line whenever he saw fit. This permit was finally cancelled and later Judge Doan issued him cer tificate of citizenship. This action was against the constitutional laws and, of course, was invalidated. Fong has al ready expended hundreds of dollars il his attempt to have the hearing con dueted at Nogales and if his threat tC | sl.. e. the United States is put into exeeu ton, be will have spent between 34,o0( and 5000.
