PARSON SCORES
SOCIETY WOMEN
If Eve We're on Earth, She
Would Drink, Smoke and Do
Other Revolving Things

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 19.-In
vigorous sermon at Brantley Baptist
church yesterday morning the pastor,
the Rev. DR.. Henry NJ. Wharton, de-
clared that the society women of the
present day either have no consci-
ence or are natural born FOOLS" He
also stated that the directoire
crowns, hobble skirts and the inde-
scribable hats that are worn by wo-
men are Matched in the workshop of
the devil" He then denounced other
women for trying to defraud the gov
eminent by smuggling into the coun-
try all manner of jewels and valua-
bles. for carousing at rOadhouses, for
drinking, gambling and playing cards
for a pastime at fashionable clubs, for
neglecting their husbands and chill
dren and for smoking cigarettes. His
subject was THE Conscience of a WO-
man" and he said in part:
"The so-called bud of society of the
present day is a disgrace to the COM
munity i'm which she lives, and she
should be branded as such. Even
from the earliest times it has been
shown that woman was disobedient
and dishonest Since then she has
steadily become worse. and if Mother
Eve was to appear on earth today she
would be a society woman. She would
drink, smoke and do other things that
that are revolving. Eve was placed I'm
Paradise and was surrounded by the
blessings and comforts of creation.
Now the world is full of women and
she is still playing the mischief with
mankind. Think of the fashionable So
ciety woman trying to defraud the
government under which she lives
She will look customs inspector
straight in the eye and tell him that
she has no jewels in her possession
which she has bought abroad. At the
same time she has a diamond necklace
or a string of pearls attached to her
garter or sewed to her undergarments
where she knows that the inspectors
will not search, for she thinks that
they are the gentlemen who will
think her the lady. This is in itself
deceitful, and she is fbut carrying out
the heritage of Eve.

JUMPING JASSIDS
CIVETOWN WICGLES
Resemble ErythrOneaura Wits,
But Really Are DraCuIaCe-
thuIa MOllipeS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept 19-Colum-
bus is infested with myriads of jump
ing jassids.
A jassid is a hemipterous insect.
The particular kind of jassids that
just now are boosting the population
are similar I'm type and temperament
to the erythroneaura Wits, which
hang out on vines.
However, the vine species of jassids
are not the cnes that are getting in
restaurant soup and picnickers'
lemonade. It's the Draculacethula
Mollipes species of the Hemipetera
family that is giving Columbus resi-
dents the wriggles.
They are green. with backs as
smooth as the talk of a confidence
man and bodies as small as the soul
of flea. They don't bite, neither
do they sting. They simply per-
ambulate and jump. They are about
the size of an incubator baby grass
hopper, and look much like one.
Park benches, restaurant tables, at
night; trees. and all kinds Of vegeta-
tion are favorite haunts.
While harmless, they are looked
upon as an annoyance. They have
been in our midst for about ten days.
Comfort may be obtained in the
thought that under proper sanitary
conditions they live only a month.
Entomologists call them leaf hop
pers unless they speak of them in
high society. Then they get all the
various names by which they may be
called, which are considerably big
germ the bugs themselves.

BALLOONING A FREE SPECTACLE.

Dr.. Eldridge, the Philadelphia aero
naut, who recently broke the time and
distance record, says that the sport is,
he believes, one that takes less money
from the spectators than any other.
Some sports, he declared, are COM
mercial propositions purely and sim
ply, but in the main ballooning is a
free spectacle. In baseball and foot
ball, he points out that they are play
ed for money, and he says the efforts
to get a paying crowd would shame
the energy of the circus proprie-
tor.
Apropos of his thought, he told the
following story:
"A certain balloonist, who had met
with some sort of a mishap and who
was compelled to come down in a hur-
ry, and with little choice OF a land
ing place, threw overheard his drag
rope as he came to a great field.
The anchor caught in a fence and
the jar shook the balloonist from the
car and he fell to the ground, a dis
lance of twenty or thirty feet
THE field on which he fell was be-
ing devoted to a football game be-
tween rival colleges, and when he
came to after being literally sprink-
led with water, the managers Of the
teams came up to him and demanded
that he pay so cents.
What for? asked the dazed and
shaken balloonist.
Admission fee, replied the mana
gers
ITS a good thing l didn't fall into
the grand stand, the air navigator
said. If | had l suppose you would
have charged me a dollar. "-Phila-
