''The Tongue of the

He was a Welsh miner in his
youth. But he worked his way
upward, graduated from Yale Di-
Ivinity school, and served the min
lers of Mahanoy City, Pa, as q

at SO, he's beginning his life work

Foreign-born, grownup children

There are three and three-quar-
tiers millions of people working in
American industries who can't
speak English. They're in danger
of life and limb because they can't
understand orders and warnings.

offices, settlements, barns, board
ing houses, factories. Roberts gets
young men to volunteer to teach
the classes, and they needn't
know a word of any language but
English to do it. Most of the
classes are free; none charge more
than a few cents.
Don't think DR.. Roberts bothers
the simple "furriners' heads with
conjugations, and declensions, and
grammar things. His lessons are
object lessons. The teacher exhib-
it articles and goes through mo-
tions, speaking the English words
and sentences that correspond to
them as he does so. The pupils re-
peat them over and over. That's
as much fun, almost, as moving
picture show. One time the pupil
will go through the act of getting
out of bed. Then again, he'll eat
dinner. It's better than teaching
by one who knows the foreign
tongues, as too much time is often
wasted in talking in the foreign
tongue.
Since the average retailer needs
only 500 words to do business, it
will be seen that it doesn't take
he foreigners long to learn to

STORY OF TERRE
HAUTE BOY FLYERS

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 20
Victor Tyler, 10, and Elmer
Bruce, 16, are the Terre Hautt
boys who started the aviation bus
among the lads of this city. They
are the charter members of the
Junior Aero club, and it was they
who built the first biplane, which
within a week was duplicated by
a score of boys.
To the Times correspondent
Victor Tyler told how to make a
good, trustworthy glider" = q
glider, you know, fellows, is the
first step in flying machines.
well, first of all, l bought
four pieces of Eastwood" said
Victor, "but I guess, any light
wood would do, Eastwood is best
though, and / started with these
four pieces, 16 feet long, one inch
thick and an inch and a half wide.
These were connected up at the
ends and in the center with cross
sections of the same wood, about
three feet long.
"The planes were then covered
with muslin, IL yards long and 2
yards wide. Thin strips of wood
were placed a foot apart between
the layers. And the whole was
then well braced with bicycle
spokes, the ends being set into the
Eastwood corner pieces at an angle

LETT in the bottom plane in which
the rider balances himself with
his hands while making the flight.
The rudder was constructed of two
pieces of wood, 16 feet long, which
were braced with piano wire to
the ends of the biplane. The whole
outfit can be built for $12 or may
BIO less"
It's the cheapness of these BIZ
planes and the bit of danger at
tached to their operation that has
made the gliders the fal of Terre
Haute boys.
When Tyler made his first at
tempt to fly, he had two of his
friends hold the glider at each end
and run with it down gently
sloping hill against the wind. Ev-

Curtiss do, only they don't go so
high and they don't stay up in the

But they do fly! And what's
more. they make their own flying

about it, from the standpoint of
the lads whose fathers are not

RUSSIAN RIDING FEAT.
Horse Twenty Years Old Travels 1000
Miles i'm q Month.
TO BE CONTINUED.

A Russian lieutenant has ridden a
twenty-year old stallion 1000 miles,
from Russian Poland to ST. Peters,
burg. The horse cost SIS and cover
ed the distance in less than a month,
averaging forty-four miles a day, with
a record for one day of eighty miles
The lieutenant travelled twelve hours
day, part of the time in the saddle
and part Of the time on foot, says the
Detroit Free Press. He would start
out and trot the horse a mile and a
half, then walked him three-quarters
of mile and then rrot him again a
mile and a half, when he would get
off and rest the animal by leading him
three-quarters of a mile.
Bad weather of snow and wind con-
sidered, this trip seems almost as
good as our cowboys did some years
ago, when they rode on broncos from
out West to the East.

A Story of

BY
GEORGE BARR
M'CUTCHEON

Dur a very oDJecr1onDIe lieutenant
barred the way, supported in no small
measure by the agitated detection OF
Mr.. Hobbs.
The way was made easy by the in
rervention Of the alert young woman
in gray. She caught sight Of the re-
stricted GdventurerS-or one of them,
to be quite accurate-and, after speed
ing q swift smile of establishment,
turned quickly to Prince Bobby.
The prince broke the ice.
Hello" he cried shrilly.
"Hello!" responded the gentleman
readily.
John Tullis found himself being drag
ged away from the witch's door to-
ward the newcomer at the bottom Of
the glen. Mr.. Hobbs listened with
deepening awe to the friendly CONVEX
sation which resulted in Truxton King
going forward to join the party in
front of the hut
Truxton was duly presented to the
ladies and gentlemen Of the party by
John Tullis, who gracefully announced
that he knew Kings parents in New
York Baron Dangloss was quite an
old friend, If one were to judge by the
manner in which he greeted the young
man. The lady in gray smiled so
sweetly and nodded SO blithely that
Tullis, instead of presenting King to
her as he had done to the Countess
Marlanx and others, merely said:
"And you know one another, of
course" Whereupon she flushed very
prettily.
Truxton King, scarcely able to be-
lieve his good fortune, crowded into
the loathsome, squalid room with his
aristocratic companions.
Never had Truxton looked upon q
creature who so thoroughly indicated
! the lifelong reliance he had put in the
description Of witches given by the
fairy tale tellers of his earliest youth.

and the cat, but IL she had them they
were not In evidence. At a rough
guess he calculated her age at 1OC
years.
"Grewsome lady. isn't she?" whis-
pered King.

whispered the lady in gray, shudder-
ing.
''Would you mind telling me how
am to address you?" whispered King
They were leaning against the mud
plastered wall near the little window
side by side. "You see, I'm a stranger
in q strange land"
''You must not speak while she Is
gazing into the crystal" she warned
after a quiclH searching glance at his
face.
Although it was broad daylight, the
low, stuffy room would have been
pitch dark had it not been for the
Pickering candles on the table beside
the bent gray head of the mumbling
fortune teller, whose bony fingers
twitched over and about her crystal
globe like wiggling serpents' tails.
The window gave little or no light
and the door was closed, her grinning
grandson leaning against 1t Imply.
The witch began by reading the
fortune OF John Tullis, who had been
pushed forward by the wide eyed
prince. In a cackling monotone she
