later, after the party had had lunch
eon-for turtiss until after the flight
was over had taken nothing but some
toast and cOtfee-a check for ten
thousand dollars was handed to him in
the World Office, a well-earned prize for
his wonderful feat
His AlbanyNew York flight. while
not quite as long as Paulhan 5 London
to-Manchester flight a few days before,
was far more wonderful. Il was done
in far shorter time and over a much
more difficult course. The biplane in
which Curtiss travelled was the hghtest
and smallest that had ever carried man
in the air Equipped with a four
cyclinder engine, its weight was barely
five hundred pounds. For this journey,
however, it carried an eight-eyclinder
engine, a hundred pounds of gasoline,
thirty pounds of oil, and steel pontoons
to keep it afoat in case of a descent
into the water, bringing its total
weight up to nearly a thousand pounds.
In spite of the handicap of the added
weight, it made the speediest journey
an aeroplane ever has made in extended
flight.
But. far above and beyond all this,
the Curtiss flight convinced the Nation
where the aeroplane was born of its
commercial practicability; it famed to
fever heat public interest in aviation
as a sport, as a business, as scientific
study.
1t proved that the Age of the Air
had really begun. One man had trav-
eled and all men soon might travel from
city to city straight through the air
1t brought conviction to the belief that
some day not far distant winged ships
might fly across the seas. 1t suggested
a new instrument of war against whose
attacks dreadnoughts would be power
less. 1t was not only triumph for
aviation and a milestone in progress,
but harbinger of universal peace.

there. As soon as he had his machine

Officers Club, came to New York. On

Immense Saving Possible.

In a preliminary bulletin on the
cost Of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
berculosis that the average
cost per patient per day In THIRTY
semicharitable sanatoria scattered In
all parts Of the United States Is
$1.669. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $780,
900 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which is part of an extensive study

that the country could save annually

QUEST OF INDIAN
GIRLS FINE LAND
Woman Figures in Scheme and
Introduces William in His
Case to His Intended
Victim.

Kansas City, Mo. Special: Leslie ].
Lyons. United States district attorney,
has been called upon to protect Archie
Langford, a Cherokee Indian girl, II
years old, from an American fortune
hunter who wants to marry her. She
will have a shar of the lands of the
Cherokee Nation. She is at present at
the general hospital. but is GONZALES
cent and will be discharged While
In the hospital she was protected from
the fortune hunter by the hospital au-
thorities.
Archie was married to a Cherokee In
liam two years ago. Soon after the we'd
ding he became a fugitive from justice
and she has not seen him since. Her
life in Oklahoma was lonely, so a month
ago she decided to see the world. She
had her long black hair cut and dressed
In mems clothing. Then she went to
Fort Smith, Ark, from where she went
to L~eaVenworth, Kan, and finally came
to Kansas City.
Enter the Fortune Hunter.
In Leavenworth she met a woma-l.
who said her name was Miss White.
Archie told this woman that she was
of Cherokee blood and had a right to
100 acres of good government land
whenever she wanted to file on IL. This
interested Miss White. She had a
friend in Kansas City who was looking
for a bride with a quarter section all
paid for, so she took Archie to the
friend and introduced her. This
friend" turned out to be the fortune
hunter.
While the man was assembling nerve
to ask Archie to marry him, the po-
lice arrested him on a charge Of va
grancy. Archie was taken to the Help
ing Hand institute, where she told Mrs.
e. T. Brigham, the matron. that she had
no desire to marry the white man.
Tried to kidnap Her.
While in the Helping Hand an at
tempt was made to kidnap her. The
kidnapers were driven away. The next
day, June Is, Archie was taken to the
hospital. Letters proposing marriage
have been received by her there.
If the district attorney finds that hs
has no jurisdiction in the case Archie
will be taken before E. e. Porterfeld,
Judge Of the Juvenile court. n made a
ward of the court.

An Incentive to Charity.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
On the exposed wall of an uptown
building a picture is flashed every now
and then showing a procession OF men
and women crossing the street and
dropping money into a contribution box
fastened to a drug store door,. The box
is labeled in bright letters. II Is the
property of a charity organization.
BY the time the picture has been
shown two or three times the street au-
dience begins to think pretty we'll of
a concern that has enterprise enough
to advertise its need for funds in that
fashion. While in that appreciative
mood they turn away, but before they
have taken q half dozen steps an any
direction they are confronted by q real
box that has been nailed to a real door
by that same society.
And maybe hands don't go down into
pockets then. The pictured proposition
on the wall doesn't give any more lib
orally than the real procession In the
street, and the pictured box doesn't
fill half. SO rapidly as the real boxes
do.

affected.
THE doctors did their best. but
their remedies were of no avail what
eve Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment

Child'ess Woman

Did 1t ever strike anyone what in
justice is so often done the Childless
woman? Not the one who is so from
preference, who will not when she
may" but she who has had no choice
In the matter. Did you ever notice
he Multiplying Condescension in the
faces and tones of many Of these fOrtu-
nate mothers of families when they
say: "Oh, Of course you cannot un-
derstand, never having had a child Of
your Own. You cannot appreciate a
mothers feelings. You don't know this,
that or the other of the subject, be-
aus being childless, 1t is impossible"
Never was greater injustice, greater
error done or imagined, than this
Judgment-the misJudgment-of the
childless oma I ave met women
time n again who have never known
h happiness, the joy Of maternity,
and yet have had more real, true
mother love in their hearts than scores
Of actual mothers sever knew or
dreamed Of. 1t does not make a wom-
an a mother-in the highest, noblest
meaning of the Word-because she has
borne q child.
To some parents the solemnity of the
occasion, the wonderful mystery Of the
Incarnation Of an immortal soul aud
the feeling Of responsibility in having
Its care placed in their hands seem
entlrely TO escape tneIn. Inc prize,
the positive egotism that appears to
take possession Of them swallows up
all other emotions, utterly effacing the
fact that they are accountable to AL
mighty God for this gift he has be-
slowed upon them. Accountable, too,
for the example they may set-indif-
ferent as to imitation. Indeed. ap-
parently God does not enter into the
matter at all-the ego having alto
gether displaced him.
The childless woman, moreover. has
all children for her own. While she
may hesitate to adopt a stranger into
her family circle because Of mistakes
that have been made in hat direction,
she takes all fguratively, at least-to
her bosom, particularly as she has
none of her own" with which to com
pare them. Most women are nothing
II not comparative; but as far as
children are concerned the childless
woman is less so han others; conse-
quently, none are excluded from her
heart. The mother love is there-deep-
ly implanted in her breast-no matter
if it's only outlet is through the med
ium Of other peoples offspring.
