Los Angeles, Jan. f2.-Broken rec

in the air at the same time. breast
ing a semi-gale that sported danger
ously with the delicate contrivances,
made a thrilling finale for 10000
spectators at Aviation field yesterday
to an afternoon that had promised
only some little feats of aviation.
Glenn II. Curtiss, the silent Ameri-
can, defeated his mercurial French
rival, Paulhan. in the keen race for
honors, and shattered the speed rec
ord for passenger carrying aeroplanes.
Rising into the high wind that held
the ponderous dirgibles of Knaben-
shue and Reachey helpless. the AM
erican flew wide circle in front or
the grand stand at the rate OF 55
miles an hour with his manager, Je-
rome S. Fancuilli. beside him on the
aviator's seat
Not to be outdone. Paulhan took
one OF his mechanicans in to the ma
chine and flew twice around the mile
and a half course. He failed to equal
the speed Curtiss had developed
though he covered more ground than
his opponent.
Frenchman Seeks All Honors.
In the beginning the intrepid little
Frenchman seemed to have again
monopolized al the honors of the day
Thrice he drove one OF his big Far
man bIplanes around the course dis
regarding the stiff wind blowing in
from the sea. Then in tiny Bleriot
monoplane that looked like huge
horse-fly. he gave the immense throng
in the stands and boxes the first thrill
of the day with an exhibition OF
nerve and daring that surpassed any,
thing he has heretofore attempted
by sweeping over the stand. Up to
that time Curtiss had done nothing
and his pupils. Willard and Hamilton
had made only one flight each, neith-
er of which lasted mort than few
seconds. They said the gasoline was
bad, but in the light of subsequent
events. all of which occurred after
thousands of the original crowd had
left the field, It would seem that they

White Slavery Discussed.

After passing the army appropria-
ton bill carrying $92 100000 for the
maintenance of the army during the
fiscal year of 1911, the house took up
today one of the so-called white
slave" bills.
Opposition developed to that portion
of the measure reported by the IN
migration committee, which makes it
a felony for any person to assist an
other to go from one state to another
for the purpose of engaging in pros
titution. 1t was contended by Messrs.
Bartlett of Georgia, Goebel of Ohio,
and Richardson Of Alabama that such
action would be an encroachment up
on states rights, as under the consti-
tuition each state has the sole power
to regulate its own morals.
The other white slave bill. the one
introduced by Mr.. Mann, enlarges up
on the Interstate commerce feature
of the pending measure so as to pre-
vent white slave" traffic between
the states. The immigration commit
tee seeks to exclude from the country
all undesirable and especially immor-

Washington, Jan. 12.-An ancient
custom of the house of representa-
tives in use for so years was over
turned yesterday by Representative
Dwight Of New York, republican,
when he instructed the pair clerks
at the speakers desk TO cease pairing
republican members except under
prescribed conditions.
The move is declared by democrats
and insurgents to be directed against
the latter and intended to give the
organization additional leverage when
close votes occur.
Representative Garner of Texas,
temporary denlocratic whip, said that
Mr.. Dwight mad instructed the pair
clerks to make no pairs excepting on
Mr.. Dwight's approval. This NJ r.
Dwight denies but the upshot of the
matter was that Mr.. Garner invoked
as a counter move a long buried and
hitherto unobserved rule of the house
and members will hereafter be requir-
ed to make their pairs in writing at
the speakers desk
Custom Is Old One.
For a score of years or more 1t has
been the custom to allow pairs at any
time without question. The almost
forge ten rule of the house on the
subj5tr requires that two--4nenabers,
I des' ring to be paired, must announce
such intention at the speakers desk
Mr. Garner, in order to counteract
the move of Mr.. DIV ght gave instruc-
( tions to the democratic pair clerk
that no pairs were to be allowel at
the desk except in strict accordance
With the rule on the subject
Under the order attributed to Mr..
Dwight, he would be able to control
( the voting absentees or those desi.-.rS
to be paired, which, it was pointed
out, would not work to the advantage
of the house insurgents since the re-
publican whip is working in harmony
with the regulars.
The move of the democrats If sue
2 oessful, may result in greatly lim!t ns
tre proposition of pairing as wei as
perhaps multiplying the effor; of the
republican regulars to embarrasS the
insurgents. 1t might aid any insur-
gent, who was laboring under Off
cial d.spleasure and discr mination by
enabling him to arrange a pair by
going to the speakers desk.
Representative Garner pointed out
that this move would result in in
creasing the attendance of the house
as those members who were frequent
ly absent and counted always as pair
ed, would be compelled to attend and
arrange their pairs in order to have
them show in the record.
No caucus of the house republi-
cans on the Ballinger- Pinchot com
mittee has been called, according to
the statement of Representative Cur
rier of New Hampshire. chairman of
the caucus. One may be issued at any
time, however, and the insurgents
may not be hidden to take part in it.
The democrats will probably caucus
on the subject the latter part of the
week.

Iman without a gun who happens
to come face to face with a hun
cry lion. Some lions have been
known to cover in abject fear
when brought to bay, but the vast
majority will fight bravely for
their lives.
1t is not easy to tame a lion.
The cubs are playful and affec-
Itionate and even some of the full
grown animals are easily subdued,
but only apparently so. They may
pretend to love and obey their
masters, but they are treacherous,
and many lion tanner who has
confidence in the loyalty of his
beast is attacked when his back
is turned.
The lion is native in Africa and
southwestern Asia. A full grown
male is three feet high and will
measure nearly ten feet from his
nose to the tip of his tail. The
weight is sometimes 500 pounds.
If in your rambles you should
ever meet lion, climb a tree. A
lion, though nimble in scrambling
among rocks, cannot climb trees.
The lion is not selfish, but di-
vides his pluTder equally among
the lioness, the babies and any
visitors who happen to be around.
That's more than some boys and
Igirls do.

Gertrude Richardson Wins
Opera Fame In ''Norma"

To spring into fame and the

She achieved her triumph with the

A circus or zoo without lion
would be as Incomplete as series
of stories about animals without
the king of beasts.
Writers of all ages have written
about the lion and his great physi-
cal prowess, poets have sung
about him, the bible frequently re-
fers to him, and nations have
adopted him as their emblem, typ
ical of the nations strength and
greatness.
Despite that, writer's seldom
agree on the bravery of this king
of the forest. Many of them say
that he is absolutely fearless and
that he would face a regiment of
human beings or wild beasts with
out flinching. Others describe him
as tricky, and a few even say that
the average lion is a coward. 1t
may be true that each writer re-
CARDS the lion from the standpoint
of his own personal observation
and experience. A lion is very
much like a human being. Some
men are brave and some tricky
and some cowardly, and it is SO
with the lion.
1t has been pretty well estab-
lished that a man may meet a lion
in, the forest and unless the lion
happens to be hungry he win pass
by him or run away without mo-

If you've got a Turing suspicion
that the theater trust isn't licked
you're wrong. If the other trusts
had only crumpled up like the
theater trust Louis Swift would Je

would be driving an oil wagon and
j. p. Morgan would he running a
pawn shop. It's gone; it's finish
ed; there isn't any more of it; it
can never live again; it's only an
ugly memory. And all this hap
.pened a few weeks ago. The life
wasn't liked out of It until very
rRcently.
l4lIere's the real inside OF it all
Last spring when John Cort got
the small theater owners together
to break the trust, they had a
fight on their hands. After they
had organized the thaater owners
association the struggle began.
When this season opened, tell
you TRULY, it looked dark for the
independents. There was a time,
early in September, when it didn't
look as if the deal could go.
John COrt and his associates had
about 1000 small theater owners
who looked to them for plays. But
Cort couldn't get the plays. gie had
everything else but the plays. The
theater owners began to complain.
I'VE didn't make much money un-
der the trust" they said, "but
were not going to make any money
under the Independents because
we cant get any plays"
The black clouds came down
pretty low.
But there was trouble in the
Klaw & Erlanger camp, too. They
had the shows, but they didn't have
any place to send them to, outside
of the large cities. The small thea
ter owners had declared in favor
of the open door; that is, they
would take either trust or indie
pendent shows. Klaw & Erlanger
had declared that any theater that
opened it's doors to an independ-
ent production couldn't have Klaw
C Erlanger shows.
The doors of the small theaters
were open. So were the doors of
the warehouses in which they
keep shows that are not on the
road. Klaw & Erlanger came to
the place, a month ago, where they
had to choose between the doors
of the open-door theaters or the
doors of the warehouses.
They astonished the theatrical
world by choosing the open-door
theaters. Abe Erlanger had nj
last given in; it was almost more
than the theatrical world could be-
lieve. The little Napoleon, who
never argued but sometimes used
his fists, had capitulated.

are too young for neighbor boy
of fourteen to walk home with
us from church ?-Helen and

A: Why no! And you
wouldn't be too young IL you were

little boys and girls shouldn't be
friends and walk together when
ever they like.
Dear Miss Grey: What causes
inflaHmation of the kidneys, and
what will cure?-D. p. E.
A.: 1t is of two kinds-acute
land chronic. The acute follows
some other acute Illness such as
typhoid fever, or some poisoning
like lead or mercury. The chron-
ic follows exposure and extreme
hard muscular work. 1t comes
only after long periods of-strain.
The cure in the acute is effected
by rest in bed, with fresh air,
simple diet, and the moderate
drinking of pure water. The
chronic should be under ply
sician's care.
Dear Miss Grey: I have y a
brown satin gown which is spot
ted by water. How can l re-
move spots?-Brown Eyes.
A: Sponge and press with
warm iron. If this does not re-
move spots, press under wet
