the fear that Constable John G..
Cross, who conducted the gambling
laid at the Narragansett Pier Club
house Sunday, may make public the
names of theNmen and women promi-
aent in society who were on the
premises at the time. Prominent

rot 10 give out their names. Con
stable Cross. so far, has complied;
have asked it.

ITO publish these names would
give unnecessary pain and cause

said tonight But if these people ap
rear in court in answer to sum-
monses which have been served on
them. it will be impossible to keep
their names from the public and
there will be a good deal OF surprise
when IL is learned what prominent
men and women are concerned. And
they will have lot of embarrassing
questions to answer. too"
Constable Cross said tonight that
he was being constantly followed by
detectives. whom he believes to be
in the employ of some of the society
people. against whom his action was
taken and he is almost in fear of his
life
Although he succeeded IN secur-
ing his release when arraigned in

he is awaiting the next move against
him. There were upwards OF thirty

WHEN WE ALL FLY

If the airship really becomes practical, every day
of travel it will revoluonze life greatly as
did the railroad rs years ago.
Our way of getting about changed mainly as to
speed when the bicycle and motorcycle added to
the horse and the railroad and the automobile added
to the coach and carriage The steamship is just an I'M
provement over the saishp. We still leave houses
by the front door, travel certain line route to another
front door, as did at the dawn of civilization. The
solid earth has always been beneath and the green
fields on both sides.
But flving is not the extension of known line of
progress as all other Improvements in transportation have
been 1t is an entirely new line The only record
have of FLYING in history is the stunt of Daedalus the
Greek sculptor who pasted wings the of himself
and Icars to make their getaway from their boss
King Minos of Crete Daedaus got to ltay all right but
Icarus flew too high, mortals had of doing and
be true history
Since it is an altogether line of progress have
no way of knowing that the airshp is to become prac
teal necessity and not dangerous luxury But if does
become an everyday affair, it will make some startling
changes in daily living.
1t will abolish fixed routes of travel and make every
atom of air public highway. Like the wind we Will
wandeY where We list.
We will often enter our houses from on top At least
part OF the roofs of buildings build ought to be
flat in anticipation of the new manner of receiving callers
Roof gardens will probably be to all preenous
houses. and will work hard to make our roof door and
roof stairs handsome
Our back yards will be as plainly in view front
lawns kitchen porches visible to visitors as our
veranda; stables and sheds as evident as our gates
our alleys public our streets.
Shall we be willing to look down from alrslllps upon
cutteredup back door, ramshace outbuidngs, uncover
ed garbage ash and tin receptacles waste scattered
about because there receptaces at all? From our
heights in the free air the ugly backyard fences that divide
what might be park-ke garden into and barren
back yards, will seem pitiably potty
There people who are gleeul because they
think the airship will abolish war
But shall we admit will-weakness and wait for
machine to stop from numbering each other ana com
pei to tear down fences and clean up our back
doors?
