Shall There be a Monopoly of
the Air?

! Old Father Time as he flies is for
ever fiDging from his ample grip new
world interests in the shape of start
ling achievements wrought by man
kind, and the latest and greatest is the
conquest of the air.
But on the heels of this great
achievement come vexing complica-
tions. One of them confronts us now,
and Hiram Moe Greene in HUMAN
LIFE for August handles this vitality
important subject in way that can
not fail to interest the reader.
"Above all things else," says the
writer "we do not want the air mon-
opolized. There are enough monopo-
lies low. Aviation in America lags
behind Europe because of the claims
of the Wrights. There are scores of
hundreds of machinists-many of
them living in the small country
toWns-who can build machine as
good as the Wright arophane. There
are thousands who are as adventurous.
The money which aviators make now
is from exhibitions. Those using
8orplanes that involve the patents
given to the Wrights must pay per-
centage of what they receive to the
Wrights, or the Wright company.
Other aviators have been bonded to
pay damages if the Wright patents
are held good in the court. Others
have been enjoined by the courts and
prevented from flying at all. If it
had not been for these injunctions and
these bonds, it is probable that the
contests from New York to Chicago
and to st. Louis would have been held
and America would lead the world in
aviation"
But Mr.. Greene does more than ably
discuss the subject-he offers solu-
tion of the difficulty so practical and
so eminently fair to the Wrights and
all others that HUMAN LIFE invites
the cooperation of every practical
American in making it possible. This
is new and most important phase of
conservation-the conservation of the
right of every student of eronautics
to exercise his inventive genius in
this new field unhampered by the
chilling blight of monopoly.

Burial by Degrees.

The few old ex-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that of
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into a bag of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings of
their nails and any other portions of
their anatomy which become detached,
When the bag is full they bury it. If
asked why they do this they reply
when me dead, massa, you bury NE
body. Me hair am part Of me body. so
me bury it now when it dead. ."-Ex

A Sure Way Of Saving.

his profits melted away as soon as
earned. Having made $4,000 by for

the whole of the money. together with
his will. in the Imperial Deposit bank
at Berlin and on receiving the receipt

Sunday the Independents played
two games with the Hancock team on
the local grounds and took both OF
them easily.
The first game was the closest but
even then the Hancock team with the
exception of the first inning did not
get a look in. The Independents
started poorly allowing the first three
men up to get safe on bases but then
frightened up and got the next three;
the same happened in the second. The
third and eighth were the only innings
in which Hancock did any scoring, the
third was good for three and the
eighth for one, this being all for them.
The Independents we're BANKED in
the first inning but got three in the
second, the third, fourth and fifth
were blanks, but the sixth was good
for one and the eighth for seven
making eleven in all.
Bloom for the Independents pitched
good ball and received good support.
Final score by innings:-
Independents 0 0001 0 XII
Hancock O03OOO 100 4
The SECOND GAME
The second game only went seven
innings and the Independents started
in early. Kent for Hancock had
nothing in the line of curves that the
boys were not good for.
They started right in and got six in
the first, seven in the third, five in the
fourth and two in the fifth, making
twenty in all.
Hancock was not able to connect
with Loeff1er's delivery and were
banked until the sixth when the
Independents let up some and they
managed to push three oyer but that
was all for them.
No record of hits was kept in either
game as the efficient score keeper was
not up in shorthand and could not
write fast enough.

'AAWN WILL FILED;
 MILLION FOR WIDOW
INSURANCE COMPANIES TO CON- TEST PAYMENT ON S135,cco
 POLICIES.
Attorneys Almost Despaired of Find ing Document, When Lead to Safety Box Was
 Discovered.

Chicago, July 27.-The will of Ira C.. Rawn, who was shot to death in his summer home at Winretka, was found in a safe.y vault deposit box in the Commercial National bank.
 The will, which leaves all the Mo non presidents property to his wife, was filed for probate. It is reported by men in touch with Rawn's affairs that he left property worth $1,0Oo,OO No amount is given in the will.
 Samuel H. Greeley, president of the Winnetka village board, has ordered the chief of police of Winnetka to take charge of the Rawn home, bending the inquest. Mrs. Rawn declares that she and her family will leave the home and move to the city.
 The accident insurance men have practically decided to fight the claims of the family in the collection of about $135, ,000 in insurance
 It was not until attorneys for the Rawn family had begun to despair of finding the will of the railroad presi- dent that they discovered that Rawn had rented a deposit box, and will. dated March IS, 1909, and consisting of one typewriter sheet was found. He bequeaths all his property to his wife, Florence Willis Rawn, and ap- points her the executrix The will IS signed by three witnesses.
 The signature. I. c. Rawn, was con sidered somewhat unusual because the railroad president always signed his name Ira G. Rawn, but little sig nificance is believed to be attached to this.

SCRAMBLE ON IN OHIO
Failure of Leaders to Agree on Candi- date Leaves 'lnsurgent'
 Entrenched.

Columbus, O., July 27.-Following the breaking up of conference of every organization and administration leader opposed to the gubernatorial nomination of James A. Garfield, United States Senator Burton made the statement no agreement was reached and Senator Charles Dick fol- lowed with the assertion the contest was now wide open scramble.
 The fight over the platform over. shadows the contest for governor and it is because of the progressive blanks which Garfield demands be incorpor. ated in that document that he finds the leaders unit in opposing him.
 The main issue with the admins tration and federal crowd, on the first day of the state convention. is the in dorsement of President Taft's admin istration and Garfield's friends assert he will go no further toward such in dorsement than for the executives S good intentions"
 The attempt to agree on Warren G. Harding of Marion, as the guberna torial candidate ended in a disagree ment which has certainly left Garfield in a more commanding position than heretofore.
