The Children's Home managers
have gone into the real estate bust
ness in order to raise money for the
maintenance of the home. The
management is not in distress on
account of the new building. This
structure has been paid for, and
will be ready for occupancy as soon
as the furnishings have been put in
and the walks built. They do not
wish to occupy the new Home un-
till it is entirely finished. The lad
les of the Home have been tireless
In getting this New Home ready for
the charges and have the satisfac-
ton of seeing their unselfish efforts
crowned with success through the
aid of generous public.
But there are IS chilren in the
Home at present and few care-tak-
ers who must be maintained, and 1t
costs money to supply them with
necessities and KEEP up the estab-
iishment The regular subscriptions
have been insufficient to meet the
needs Of maintenance with such a
large family; and the ladies have
upon a new scheme to raise neces-
sary funds, which looks like good
business proposition for any one who
is interested in Cairo property.
Options have been secured on four
good lots which will be sold to the
highest bidder They are located on
upper Washington avenue, below
34th street, in one of the very best
residence districts of the city where
very few lots are now for sale, two

The other two are 55x200 feet at

That Germany is still much behind
France in aviation is the conclusion
generally drawn from the results of
the German Aviation Circuit race.
Although prizes aggregating more
than 100000 were offered, only
fourteen of the "a flyers entered took
part in the contest and none was able
to complete the entire circuit of LIZA
miles. The winner, Benno Koenig,
dropped out of two of the thirteen
stages of the flight.
Only three of the aviators crossed
the finish line at Johannisthal, Lind

company proposes to go into the ex-
press rate question on two grounds

"The second ground | refer to is
that the apparent excessiveness of
express earnings is due altogether to
the fact that the express companies
have compelled the railroads to haul
express matter at an Inadequate
rate of pay. We have been trying
for years to find a remedy for that
situation.
Il may add that we are seriously
considering the organization of an
express company of our own. 1t is
