100 Million Dollars
Worth. Of Shoes

These are stupendous figures yet this is the yearly
amount that the South spends for shoes AS curiosity
these figures may attract you for minute, but the most
curious thing about them is that three quarters OF
money is regularly sent away from the South and the
South is that much poorer for it |s
= You trade at Southern shoe store. You give tho
dealer your money You probably buy western or
northern made shoe. When the dealer pays his BILL this
money! less small per cent to the dealer goes north or
west and the South is that much poorer &.
Keep your money at home Let it work for better
times better wages, more factories more work for
Southern people.
Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe Made il
the South by white labor for Southern gentlemen The
best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for
$3.50 and $4OO Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays

The context Of the above decision shows
plainly that 1t Is an act which has exceed
ed the limits OF the powers conferred by
Congress upon the Secretary Of Wac, and
that, as it stands, 1t can have no binding
effect.
This decision, however, contains an inn
portant feature, which is the emphatic
acknowledgment Of the navlgabillty OF
the Upper Savannah river.
Notwithstanding its illegality said deci.
sion has, nevertheless, answered, at least
temporarily, the purposes OF the owners
of the dam, but it cannot prevail against
the people who have the lmprescriptible
right to the navigability of their river, and
who can, at any time, require that the dam
at Gregg Shoals and the dam at Augusta
should be provided with locks and fish,
ways.
As for the City of Augusta, she should
be the last to put impediments in the way
of the improvement Of the Upper Savall-
dertaking Of the City OF Augusta, and no
amount OF difticults or expense should be
for her an obstacle.
In the past our waterpOWers given away

ting that each horse power would bring q
royalty of 80 cents, the 900,0 900 horse pow
ers Of the Upper Savannah river land per-
haps double that amount when the prOjscts
having for object the regulation Of the flow
of the watec of the river and the preven-
tion of the treshets will materializeJ would
bring an annual income of 100000. Such
income could be applied to the improve
ment and maintenance of the navigability
of the river. and thus make the task com
paratively an easy one,

Is not the navigahle stream Of such a

FARES ON
THE LONDON TRAMWAYS
Experiment Bids Fair to Prove
Popular Venture

Recently new experiment in London
tramway fares was made on the line
which was opened from Finchley to
Golders Green. The line is divided UP
into sections, for passing over each one
of which the fare is one farthng,
though the minimum charge is one
penny. says the London Globe.
Complaints have frequently been
made that If a passenger wishes to go
even a few yards over the line which
divided one penny fare from another, he
had to pay two pence, although he may
not have gone as far as the average
penny fare in all.
This has been met on some omnibus
and tram lines by making the distances
overlapping, and In others by the insti-
tuition of the half penny fare, but it ap-
pears that neither of these systems has
quite met the case
The tendency of the day is to ride
everywhere for as little as possible. and
to avoid walking even a few yards. The
days have long gone by since a passen-
ger could refuse to ride in two penny
was in hurry.
It seems hardly credible that NOT so
very many years ago to ride on a bus
was the mark of a city man, and that
penny fares were secuted as impossible
We have come down to farthing fares
and were 1t not that the farthing is a
coin which few people carry, the penny
minimum would no doubt be abolished.
AS 1t is, the minimum fare will prob
ably soon be reduced to a half penny,
for as every one now rides for the short
est distances the lowest fare will before
long be the rule.

PANTOMIMES POPULAR
WITH BRITISH PEOPLE
London and Provinces Have
Many Similar Productions

The first pantomime introduced to the
English stage was Tavern BiIkers" and
was by John Weaver. says the Stage.
This was in the year 1902. 1t was pro-
duced at Drury Lane. The great in
stitutor Of pantomime in England was.
however John Rich, who devised this
form of entertainment in 1717. His first
emphatic success was in 1924, when he
produced THE Necromancer; or, His
tory of Doctor Faustus."
So successful was Rich with his pan
tomimes that Garrick, Quin and others
became exasperated. Rich lived to see
pantomimes firmly esta blished at Drury
Lane and Covent Garden. He died in
1851.
Regarding the subjects of panto-
mines, the most popular theme this
year is cinderella" with Babes in the
WOOD second and Dick Wilmington"
third.
If the London and suburban panto-
mines are taken alone Cinderella" will
again be first, while Babes in the
Wood" and Aladdin tie for second
place. In London and the provinces
Cinderella" has been chosen IA times.
Babes in the Wood" IL times and
Dick Wilmington" 10 times. Looking
back over the last is years we find that
the most popular subjects have been
Cinderella" Aladdin" Dick Whit
tington.' Robinson Crusoe" and Babes

FISHES SHOW GREAT
CARE FOR THEIR EGGS
Males and Females Look After
Their Offspring

G. A Boulenger, in Country Life,
gives some interesting cases of parental
care in fishes. AS rule the eggs of a
fish are left more or less to chance, and
yet there are number of cases in
which one or the other parent shows a
remarkable devotion to, and care of.
the offspring. In the case of a fish
from Wadras the male carries the eggs
about in his mouth till they are
Matched. This occupies several weeks,
and all this time he is unable to feed,
and becomes quite emaciated
In q South African species the fe-
male carries the eggs in a similar way.
In a number of species the eggs are
carried about adhering to the belly or
lower surface of the TAIL sometimes
by the male and sometimes by the fe-
male. In the curious sea horse (hippo-
campus) they are carried in a pouch
under the tail.
The paradise fish makes a floating
nest of bubbles formed by the frothy
secretion of it's mouth. In this the
eggs are placed. One of the most
curious cases, perhaps, is that of the
fish which makes one of the fresh
water mussels its nurse and nursery.
This species is known as the bitter
ling The eggs are few and remark
ably large for a fish, being an eighth
of an inch in diameter, or about a
twentieth of the whole length of the
parent BY means of long tube they
are placed between the gill plates
of different species of pond mussels.
Here they are Matched, and leave
their nursery as young fry nearly half
an inch in length in about a month
And it seems that this is a case of
symbiosis, for the female fish in de-
posting her eggs carries off those Of
the mollusk, which are Matched on her
body, and thus widely dispersed

Praises Associates in Aerial En-.
deavOrs, j. A. D. McCurdy
and F. w. Baldwin

Dr. Alexander Graham Bell talked
about flying machines at the Hotel Lor-
raine to a reporter of the New York
Tribune recently. He was modest about
his experiments, but aglow whenever
he mentioned ]. A. ID. McCurdy and r
w. Baldwin, who have been associated
with him since the formation of the
Aerial experiment association about
two years ago The association dis
banded last spring.
According to DR.. Bell, McCurdy was
the first boldly to break away from the
thralldom of the light engine for aero
nautic work and to try successfully an
automobile engine in a flying machlne.
At DR.. Bells summer home, Benin
Breagh, near Baddeck. N s., McCurdy
and Baldwin have recently flown for
21 "A minutes in machines modelled after
the June Bug, using an automobile en-
gine weighing 400 pounds.
Their success, he said had encour-
aged him to hope for good results as a
test of an aerodrome of his own design
with the same engine early next month.
He has about finished an aerodrome
having six tetrahedral cells, that he eX-
poets will be a combination of the good
points of the June Bug and the Cygnet
No. 2. He calls it the Oionos type, after
the bird of the Greeks. The machine
will measure 80 feet from tip to tip ana
will, he believes, possess unusual sus-
tanning power and stability because OF
its horizontal and oblique surfaces lie
will try the new aerodrome over the ice
of Lake Bras dor, using the automobile
engine above mentioned, manufactured
at Bath, n. Y, and also testing Corllss
engine of so horsepower.
Five flying machines will be tested at
Baddeck in less than a month, said
Doctor Bell. Gardiner Hubbard of Bos-
ton has ordered monoplane OF the
type used by Latham from the Cana
dian aerodrome company at Baddeck.
There will also be tried out the Bad
deck No. / and No 2, similar to the
June Bug; Doctor Bells tetrahedral
kite, Cygnet No. >, and his latest aero
drome.
Doctor Bell says that he is not in
terested commercially in aerodromeS,
but only from scientific point of view.
Baldwin and McCurdy, he said, have
formed the Canadian aerodrome COM
pany, and, with other aviators trained
by them to operate machines, they
hope to interest the Canadian govern
ment next month.
1--WE have made verb of 'drome' in
Canada" he added. I'VE speak of a
man droming from one point to an
other. 'Aerodrom' originated with a
professor OF Greek at JOINS HOPKINS
university. and comes from a Greek
word meaning air runner. We call our
machines 'dromes'-much simpler and
more correct than to speak of them as
aereplanes. The fore and aft and lat
eral curves in the aerodromes of today
make aeroplane a misnomer. I think
we shall all come to calling them
'dromes'."
