THE AIRSHIP IN WAR

Will air men help in war ?
Would an observer be safe from
fire. And in order to escape the
fire of the enemy would not air
ships have to fly so high that it
would be impossible to take &C
curate observations from them!
These are questions now stirring
the minds of the army folks.
Some of the most optimistic claim
that the war problem is solved.
The aeroplane has proved itself
a marvellous means for trans
hitting orders. It has also shown
itself formidable engine tor re-
connoituring, but there are con-
ditions which, at its present
stage, would greatly impair this.
Already there has appeared in
the press a picture of the latest
type of airship and aeroplane
gun designed by the Krupps. 1t
is mounted upon a high power
speed automobile which should
be able to keep up with the swift
test airship. It is intended for
both defensive and offensive use.
Trials of the gun have recently
taken place. 1t was fired at
dummy balloons and nearly every
shell hit and the gas in the bag
exploded. AS the case now
stands the aeroplane would make
a splendid scout if the enemy
were content to sit supinely down
and be spied upon but there are
no enemies like that. 1t would
make a splendid carrier of mes
sages providing the wind did not
suddenly become strong, and as
no one can vouch for the behav-
Tor of tire winds, there remains
some forceable drawbacks which
will doubtless require consider
able time to overcome.

HOBBLE SKIRT PASSING
FAD

One writer says: "a year ago
the hobble skirt donned by star
on the stage would have earned
many laughs and sold many seats.
Today it gets the laugh and no.
body has to pay for the seats. "
One could stand the appearance
of the hobble skirt, and indeed
the hobble effect skirt is far
from repelling, but it is the
hampered effect which condemns
it. The swinging, graceful
stride which has become a much
ly discussed characteristic of the
American woman would be In
danger if the style became gen
eral. Children some times in
play bind their ankles and see
who can get to the corner first. "
Amid shrieks of laughter they
fall, roll but rise again and hob
BILE on as before. When grown
ups bind their ankles and walk
out on the streets for inspection
a few impertinent ones laugh
outright, many are the smiles
blended with curiosity and con-
tempt, but the feeling which
largely predominates is one OF
pity. Pity that women of today
are content to bow down to the
god of fashion regardless of the
paths they must follow in order
to obey her mandates. There is
one attending feature to the hob
BILE skirt which will prove
it's undoing when it comes to
that class of women who have
reached the piece wnere their IN
dividual opinion must sanction a
fashisn before it is adopted; that
is in order to cross a street, step
to the curb from the crossing,
or climb upon the street car, one

HUMOR OF THE LAW

Judge John H. Miller, of Bir-
mingham, Alabama, tells the fol-
lowing amusing anecdote of one
of that interesting branch of the
administration of law known as
the justice of the peace:
"A certain rural justice had
heard a great deal of the manner
of Judge Henry A. Sharpe on the
bench of the city court of Birm-
ingham, and resolved to come to
town and witness his trial
methods.
1T happened that on the day
the justice visited the court
Judge Sharpe was trying a non
jury case. The apparent ease
with which the judge announced
his rulings on points of law and
law and procedure while he sat
back comfortably in his chair
with his head resting on one
hand delighted the country JUS
tice immensely.
At the close of argument by
the attorneys, Judge Sharpe an
nounced that he would take the
case under advisement and an
nounce his decision next Monday.
"The justice came down from
the court thoroughly delighted
with Judge Sharpe's wisdom and
methods. He returned home
with his head full of new ideas
for the conduct of his own court.
"A few weeks later he had a
case of considerable local impor-
lance. It was fought out with
zeal by the opposing attorneys.
During the introduction of evil
dence and the argument of attor-
neys the justice initiated Judge
Sharpe as far as possible, even
to resting his head on his hand
in an easy, Indifferent manner.
"At the close of the argument
he said: Gentleman, will take
this case under advisement and
next Monday | will announce my
decision in favor of the plaintiff"

THE STATESMAN

He felt too tired in summer
To rise and weed at dawn.
He never felt quite equal
To the moving of the lawn.
He felt too tired in winter
To shovel off the snow.
He never stocked the furnace
Nor raked the ashes low.
He never pushed the carriage
When baby took the air.
He never beat the carpets
Nor helped out anywhere.
And yet despite his record
In things that are not great
He has a firm conviction
That he can sweep the state.
-McLandburgh Wilson.

The British government, after
thorough investigation at home
and abroad, is preparing to in
augurate sweeping changes in
dealing with youthful offenders.
At present 5000 English youths
are sent to prison each year for
minor offenses. Hereafter, no
youth between the years of six
teen and twenty-five will be COM
mitted to a prison for punish
ment, which has not a definite aim
for discipline and education.
This system has been most mark
eddy typified by the New York
method of dealing with the vici-
Gus and erring classes.

1t is easy to know what that
meant for the book. And there
are books which are re-read ev-
cry year or so. Those are the
kind which live, those are the
kind which it is worth while to
write, and such kind could never
be measured and sold by the
pound.

One writer claims that boys
and girls should not be imprison-
ed for gambling, pitch-and toss,
rowdyism, stone throwing,
swearing, football in the streets,
breaking lamps, sleeping out or
piling distractions, as such Of
lenses are merely the result of
high animal spirits which proper
ly trained may prove the best
assets these youngsters can have
in moulding their destinies. Such
an argument fifty or sixty years
ago would have met most ire
menduous volly of disapproval,
but these are days of new times
and in many instances past our
understanding.

with bound petticoats on or pull
her skirts so high that an I'M
womanly display of hosiery is

SOME DoNT'S

Don't be afraid Of your trades
man.
Don't understand cheapness
for economy.
Don't buy in small quantities
if you can avoid it.
Don't be ashamed or too proud
to do your own purchasing.
Don't buy in a careless manner.
Always ask for whatever the
commodity is by a known weight
or measure.
Don't allow yonr groceryman
or dairyman to weigh in the
wooden butter dishes when he is
weighing your butter.
Don't let the fancy package
goods fascinate you, because you
are frequently paying very heav-
lily for the fancy package.
Don't gossip with your mer-
chant while he is weighing your
purchases unless you are abso-
lutely sure of your tradesman.
Don't be afraid to carry a bum
die unless you are prepared and
willing to stand the expense of
having it delivered at your door.
Some one down East has given
the subject of housekeepers deal
ing with grocers, and has caused
to be published the following
don'ts for them to observe:
Don't neglect to test the
weight of package goods at home
and compare them with the
weight of the same commodity
purchased loose.
When you purchase veget-
ables by the dry measure be sure
to examine the measure the mer-
chant uses before making your
purchase to be sure that it has
not false bottom.

DIFFERENT BOOKS

What is the proper length of a
novel? is late questions going
the rounds among prominent
authors and publishers. What
many authors term hard headed
and unimaginative publishers
seem inclined to argue that pub
lie taste and business reason fix
the standard at about 100000
words. Of course the makers of
fiction usually resent the idea
that the product of their brains
be measured as is carpet, by the
yardstick. The reasons why PEG
pie read are various: There are
those who read because they
hunger and thirst as it were, to
hold communion with other mems
thoughts; reading to them is a
mental tonic which puts aroma
into their thoughts and refreshes
them. Others read because they
feel that it is something which
ought to come in the summed up
duties of life, they plod through
their books methodically and in
the end actually realize some
benefit if not much enjoyment
for there are thoughts which
cling and climb even to almost
impossible persons; and then
there are others who read be-
cause they consider it quite the
thing to be able to say they have
read the latest books.
rs this a good book" asked
one of the patrons of the city
library of the clerk at the desk
with whom she had often dis
cussed the merits of different
productions.
Il have not read that one"
was the reply.
1t must be good, if I may
Judge by the number of times it
it has been taken out" continued
the subscriber.
"You cannot always depend
upon that" answered the clerk.
There are many persons who
take out books simply because
they are new, and so some of the
poorest books are the greatest
travellers "
However. it is an unexpressed
but mutually felt understanding
among readers that bad books
cannot be too short nor good
hooks too long.
How do you like that book?"
asked one reader of another.

NEW YORK, July l4.-Wearing the

Of the wealthiest land owners Of eastern
Hungary. has arrived here on the
last lap of trip around the world. A.
though over sixty-five years old. Mr.. Ber-
rar has never been absent from his from
tier home before. and he entertains the
idea that America is filled with brigands
and that he will be robbed before he gels
back to Tizafuhred, his native town.
where he is looked upon by the peasantry
as a sort of king.
When he registered yesterday at the
Hotel Netherland with his two compan-
ions, both six-footers. with muscles like
whipcords, he gave orders that he was
not TO be approached by strangers Last
night he slept with his doors barricaded.
with his companions occupying adjoining
rooms, ready to rush to his side at his
call.
Dislikes the Porters.
So fearful was Mr.. Berrar that he would
be recognized as a rich man on his trip
across the continent from Vancouver that
he would not allow the porters even TO
make I'D his berth, leaving the task TO his
two companions. He expressed a keen
dislike of the colored porters all along
him any favor whatsoever. He is said To
have viewed every move they made with
suspicion and would hide himself in his
compartment whenever stranger made
any sort of a friendly advance to him.
During his entire trip the landowner
chung to his eccentric costume and car
ried a heavy cane, eight inches in cir
conference, with a ferrule OF lead, which
weighs several pounds. The only addition
that he made on his journey was when
he purcha sed a pith helmet in India 10
