PEN-MAR REUNIONS
Four Large Gatherings to Be HEX
at This Popular Resort During
July and August.

Three big church reunions will be
held this summer during the month
Of July at Pen-Mar. The Reformed
Church reunion will be held July IA
the Lutheran reunion will be held
July 81 and the Presbyterian reunion
will be held July %. Heretofore the
reunion dates were subject to change
but at a recent meeting railroad of
fcials and a joint committee from the
three churches selected the perma'
nent dates.
The annual reunion of Odd Fellows
in Pennsylvania will be held at Pen
Mar on August 4. An effort will be
made 10 have present representatives
from all lodges between Cumberland
and Baltimore and Harrisburg and
Winchester. Baltimore lodges have
arranged for FIVE reunions this sum
mer, and the chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the associated
hodges of that city has announced
that one of these will be combined
with the Pen-Mar reunion.
The territory to be drawn from is
about as large as that included in the
church reunions, and it is the hope
of the Odd Fellows to make their
gathering as large as those of the re-
lgious denominations.

FIGURES EXPECTED SOON
People Anxious to Know Population
Of Cities and Towns in West
ViruinIa

Washington, D. c., June 25.-Tha
giving out OF returns by the Census
Bureau on the population OF West
Virginia by cities and counties may
be expected at almost any time nav.
Already the giving out of figures has
been begun and as rapidly as they
are ready they win be given oa2 from
now OF until the work is completed.
Being smaller than those In many
other states, the returns from West
Virginia cities may not be given out
tor some time, but on the other hand,
as ~ regularity is observed I'm giving
out figures, It may be that they WIN
come soon.
la the meantime there IL consider
abel speculation as to what the fig
ures win show.
In the first place, unless the estf-
mates of the Census Bureau am
nounced some weeks ago are incor-
rect, West Virginia will not get an
additional congressional district. Ac-
cording to the estimates, which are
the latest figures until the returns
are given out, the increase In popu-
lation In the state while considerable
has not been sufficient to add an
other district to its quota.
A Encouragement OF districts may
be required for a redistricting Ia re-
quired after each census and tho
growth OF certain counties Ore than
that of others. may necessitate a re-
cement OF the districts in order
that they may be OF approximately
equal size. However. the returns Will
be required to show wether this will
be ne~cessitatei u not.
Another phase OF the census re
turns which Is eagerly awaited by
West virgindans Is that showing the
relative sizes of the triple towns
Charleston, Huntington and Parkers-
burg. For several census the popula-
ton of these three cities has been 70
nearly the same that practically no
difference In their sizes was shown.
The result this time. when each oil
the three claims TO have made larger
increases In population since the las@
census, Is being awaited with great
interest. A~~~
Huntington had the largest popu-
Ilation in 1900. when the last actual
count was made. The state assesar
sment for taxation shows that Par
kersburg has the largest mou OF
taxable property OF all kinds. and
the pcstoflces figures show that Char
lesion Is doing the largest p~ostofice
business. The figures show the postal
receipts for the last year to have been
'as follows: Charleston, y9O,S43;
Huntington, $65,155i Parkersburg.
s64, 027.
Wheeling L. Of course. conceded TO
! be the largest city in the state. but
1t la doubtful If its increase In pop,-
lation is in proportion to that Of ON
OF the smaller cities, .SQWs

MISSOURI FLIGHT
is CALLED OFF
Inability to Get Aviators to Take
Part in the Spin for $12,-
600 Prize.

ST. LOUIS Aug. 1S-Although
$4,000 was raised as prize and the
route was laid out for the Translate
aeroplane flight from st. Louis to
Kansas City, to-,aSe been begun Aag.
"a, the aerial attraction, which was
inspired by the Board of immigration,
has been called off indefinitely. Fail
ure of the committees to secure await
ors Is given as the reason why the
flight has been abandoned. To those
towns along the proposed route.
where it was planned for aviators to
land temporarily, and which had con-
tributed toward the event, Chief I'M
migration Commissioner John H.
Curran yesterday sent letters inform
ing the commercial bodies of the
towns that the flight would not be
held, as advertised.
The towns over which the flight
was to have been made to Kansas
City were st. Charles, Montgomery
City, Mexico, Sturgeon, Huntsville,
Carrollton and Lexington, thence to
Kansas City. While not attempting
to criticise, Commissioner Curran
holds that no blame for the postpone
ment of the flight can rest on the I'M
migration Board, because the board,
he says, secured the money according
to agreement and laid out the rou+ :,
and the aero clubs of St Louis and
Kansas City were to perform their
part of the programme by securing
aviators.
The only aviator definitely secur-
ed for the proposed flight was Roy
Knabenshue, who was to operate a
Wright machine. Efforts Here made
to induce Curtiss and othef well
known aviators to compete, but ap-
parently without effect Then it was
sought to get two Wright machines
In line Knabenshue desired to enter
but one machine, robbing the event OF
the nature of contest, so the nego
tiations stand at present.

MRS. LONGWORTH
AND HER CIGARETTES
Western Editorial Says if She Smokes
it is Not Even Her Hus-
bands Business.

SPOKANE. Wash, Aug. 1S.-Dr.
Frederick Perry Noble takes fall out
of the Christian Endeavorers in an
editorial in the Spokesman-Review,
declaring that their criticism of Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, charged with
smoking cigarettes, is unwarranted
and that such censorship is an I'M
American and medievel institution,
adding:
IF Mrs. Longworth smokes it is
nobody's affair in the world but her
own-not even her husbands. To re-
quest her to stop is to take for grant
ed two things that require to be prov
ed. One is that smoking by women
is an evil The other is that the eX-
ample of such woman would exert
an evil influence. The zeal of the
protesters has outrun their discretion.
They have done more harm by speech
than they would have done by silence.
1t simply is none of these peoples
business" j"
Probably DR.. Noble has started
something among the women's clubs
in Spokane and in this part of the
northwest: but it is evident he is pre-
pared to defend his position. 1t may
be added that DR.. Noble is not a de
votee of the maligned cigarette.

WITH AUTOMOBILE E
Party Had Thrilling and Unusual Ex
pcriencc While Touring in
Maine.

BANGOR Me-, Aug. 1S.-The un-
usual collision of their automobile
with huge bear in the road twenty
eight miles from Bangor ditched the
machine and gave Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward L. Hopkins, John p Fassett of
New York and Marion Gordon of
Philadelphia sufficient nervous fright
to remember the event for while.
The party wrought UP by the occur
renee, reached Bangor two hours late
and made repairs at a local garage
before continuing to New York.
Hopkins was at the wheel and the
car was going forty miles an hour
when the bear was hit. The impact
threw the animal on the hood. where
1t hung for q moment trying to get in
to the car. The women shrieked as
the car sped on. Then a iounce in
the road shook the bear loose and
also caused the car to swerve into a
ditch.
The bear was stunned momentarily
then regained his feet and disappear

HOW TAFT KEEPS
SPLENDID HEALTH
Takes Advantage of Every opportun-
ity to Snatch Few Moments
Of Refreshing
Sleep.
CAT MAPS ARE HELPFUL
Is Not Lazy But Has the Faculty
Of Being Abs to Let Nor
pheus Help Him
Out.

BEVERLY. Mass. Aug. 1s.-The Sc
cret of President Tafts splendid
health is out 1t is his ability to take
advantage of every opportunity to re-
cuperate from his labors and to snatch
a few minutes of refreshing sleep be-
tween activities.
Residents along the shore boulevard
have grown accustomed to the sudden
appearance Of an automobile with
big passenger just visible through the
ust-and that passenger sound
asleep 1t is the President. The ex-
ecutive often sleeps In his automo-
bile going and coming from the N.Y.
Iopia golf links that is, when he makes
the journey alone The other day
when the presidential party motored
III miles over to see Miss Della Tor
rey, the aunt of the chfef magistrate,
the executive slumbered peacefully
nearly all the way back. The automo-
bile went nearly as miles an hour the
greater part of the way.
1t is this faculty of the president
! to snatch moments rest at every
available opportunity-the ability to
throw off the cares of state and gain
strength in little cat-naps-that keeps
the head of the nation strong and
healthy despite his arduous labors. 1t
is said that. on his trip across the
continent and back last fall the presf-
j dent would board his s special train
I completely worn out after a speech or
reception, drop into chair, and in a
moment be fast asleep. Twenty min
utes later, when crowd at another
station clamored for his appearance
he would awake, fully refreshed.
Captain Archie Butt, military
aide. has caught the habit 1t is a
common sight late in the evening to
catch glimpse of the presidential
automobile under an electric light,
and see both Executive Taft and Capt.
Butt sound asleep. There are always
4 two other occupants, however, who
are very much awake-Robinson the
chauffeur, and the secret service OPP
