CAN WOMEN USE
THE WORD "DAMN?'
And Get Away With It, is the Discus
sion Among Some of the New
York Fashionables.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-A good
damn" now and then is needed by
the best of women This is one Of
the interesting assertions that has
cropped up in a general discussion
among women here as to whether a
woman can use the expletive and get
away with it. And it was distinct
shock to many Gothamites to learn
that not few of the city's prominent
women were not afraid to go on rec
ord as believing that among woman's
as yet unrecognized, rights is the lib
erty to use an expression adequate
to the occasion. With Miss Emma
Hall, of Kansas City, they vote MY
gracious" and "Oh, fudge" altogether
too tame.
Mrs Oxnard Reymer, a woman of
breeding and position in both New
York and Newport, is prominent in
the discussion, asserting that wom-
an should have the safety valve that
is not denied man and that she
ought to be permitted to use the word
when among friends. OF course it
would be quite out of the question,
she adds, for woman to say damn
among vulgarians, which might al
most be looked upon as gentle slam
for some folks.
I'm afraid you won't print what
! think of the carrying powers of
damn said Mrs. Reymer. Il know
French better that | do English and
you have nothing in English so charg-
ed with expressing the mental con
dion as damn but | realize it isn't
wise to voice it unless surrounded
by those of ones own kind
Did you ever ride in the subway
Doesn't that spell damn? One wants
to go to the races but racing is pro
hibited. Isn't that damn? Did you
ever go through the customs? Damn
you say when it begins and damn you
say when it is over. When you are
kept awake nights by the garbage
collectors is there anything In youl
mind but damn? Why not say 1t and
be done with it,"
4 But of course there are those who
! do not agree with Mrs. Reymer anC
their views are just as emphatic if MOI

merrily on. Anyway" amens Dr. Ida

fifth birthday anniversary at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Alice Carter, 355
North Fifth street. He came to this

his daughter.
"Mr. Kelley is the father of six

sWATTING BUGS
WITH ELECTRICITY
Plan Used In Apple Orchard Has
Proven to be Quite
Success.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug 2S.-Elec-
tricity as an agency to destroy the
codling moth and other bug pests is
the latest innovation introduced in
modern apple orcharding in the Spo-
kane valley, where W. NJ Frost of
Opportunity, Wash, and j. c. Law
renee, a practical grower of Spokane,
last night made what is declared to
have been the first demonstration of
It's kind in the world The test was
made in a six year old orchard and
more than q score of secondbrood
moths and many green aphis were
killed in few moments.
The apparatus consists of stor-
age battery to charge the incandes
cent light globes, each of six candle
power, which are netted with fine
steel wire. coated with copper and
tin. alternately. Attracted by the
bright lights in the trees, to which
the globes are carried at the ends of
covered wire, the moths fly against
the netting, complete the electric cir
cult and are instantly killed, the
bodies falling into a receptacle placed
beneath the globe.
Frost estimates that one battery to
an acre of trees will keep the moths
under control, thus eliminating the
usual spraying and saving many dol
lars annually for help, equipment and
fluid. He is now preparing to wire
his orchard of 10 acres, containing 100
trees, and several neighbors, VINO
witnessed the initial test, are doing
likewise. 1t is reported that several
thousand acres of bearing apple
trees will be equipped with extermi-
majors by next spring.
II commercial lectric light wires
are extended to the orchard tracts,
as they are in many of the valleys In
Washington, Idaho Oregon and Moi
tana, the expense of batteries may De
saved by making direct connection.
The cost of covering the globes with
wire nets is small item and any
electrician can do the work.

GAYNOR's WOUND
is PERMANENT
Bullet Fired by Assassin Did Damage
to Vocal Cords of New York
Mayor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. When Mayor
Gaynor received loving cup on Aug.
g. the anniversary of the attempt
made on his life by James J. Gala
CHER, he said:
"And now it has pleased God that
at last the principal cause of my
lingering physical impairment should
wear itself out and that my general
health should be restored"
An eminent physician who was as
sociated with the council of special
lists from the day the mayor was in
jured does not agree with him.
1t is the opinion of this specialist
that Mayor Gaynor's optimism, s ex-
pressed on the anniversary of his
shooting, is based on false hopes If
the mayor holds to the belief that he
again can take his place as cam
paign orator 1t has been said that
the bullet worked itself out of the
back of the mouth, where it was
lodged. and that Mayor Gaynor now Is
convinced that the lead has been dis
solved by natural chemical process.
Bullets never dissolve said the
surgeon emphatically to a reporter
when asked if there could be any
possible ground for such hope in the
case of the mayor. They either
reach the surface by liberation or
they become encapsulated, nature
throwing out cells around them which
become converted into fibrous It's
sues. Sometimes, under the influence
of gravity or other forces, the sus-
tanning effect of the capsule is not
sufficient to prevent bullets from
changing their places. Usually, to
restrain the bullet from movement
and it remains imbeded in its place
for many years, or even lifetime.
"This is probably the condition in
the case of Mayor Gaynor. The bull
let certainly will not be dissolved,
but it is almost certain to remain in
it's present position through the re-
mainder of his lifetime, and it is not
likely ever again to give him any
| trouble
"The damage done is not due to its
present position, but to the tissues
| injured during the passage of the
bullet. The principal part Of the
damage was in the injury to the
nerve which supplies the vocal cord
This damage cannot be repaired. II
may improve with the passage OF
time, but it is likely to be perma
nent."
At the small assemblies which the
mayor has addressed briefly since he
recovered his speech. he has articu
| lated with considerable difficulty
interrupted by frequent coughing. His
voice lacks its former clearness ant
its carrying power is SO ineffective
that only the closest auditors car
] follow his words.

KEOKUK ATTORNEY
MADE DEFENDANT
&. L. Mccoid Went to keosauoua TO.
day to See What There Is to
Forgery Charges.

AS the second chapter in a sensa-
tioaal case at Keosauqua, Iowa, At
torney e. l.. McCoid of the firm of
Hughes and McCoid of this city, has
been indicted by the grand jury of
Van Buren, county for forgery The
news was a great surprise to the Keo-
kuk attorney, who today went to Keo-
sauqua, the county seat, to investigate
the charge against him. He has given
$1,000 bonds.
Attorney McCoid could not be seen
today. but his partner Judge Hughes,
was inclined to throw cold water on
the charge, declaring there Is abso-
lutely nothing to it. From the story
told by Judge Hughes the action is
the outgrowth of a case involving
Martha E. Fletcher and Clay Ketchum
both of Pennington, Iowa.
Clay Ketchum il brother of Frank
Ketchum, Pennington banker, and
was sued sometime ago by Miss
Fletcher for maintenance of child
of illegitimate birth short time ago
Mr.. McCoid, who had been retained
tn defend Ketchum, reached settle
ment with the woman. The settle
ment was for $500, and is declared to
have been signed in the presence of
the woman's mother and brother and
Frank Ketchem of the bank, in ad-
dtion to counsel The receipt was
made out by Attorney McCoid. Imme-
diately following the payment of the
money Mrs. Fletcher demanded set
Element for breach Of promise and,
according to Judge Hughes, agreed to
dismiss all claims upon payment of
an additional sum of 500. The re-
ceipt in both instances we're written
out by Attorney McCoid.
According to the evidence upon
which the Indictment was returned, it
is claimed that Attorney McCoid In.
serted in the second receipt after 1t
had been signed the clause, Tin full
settlement for all claims whatsoever
against the said Ketchum."
Judge Hughes says that this clause
dition to counsel. The receipt was
signed. This will be corroborated by
half dozen witnesses, he says, and
Attorney McCoid cleared of the
charge against him.

considerable irregularity in it's width,
character and naturalization.
1t is by no means to be expected
that a assure vein will be continuous
ly mineralized for a great distance lat
orally or in depth. Experience shows
that ore occurs generally in shoots or
lenses at irregular intervals rather
than in even, unbroken bodies. In fol
lowing up a great vein. celebrated for
some mine situated upon it, with a
view to locating upon the extensions
of it, it is often found tht these ex-
tensions are lean, or even barren.
The bonanza zone may be in the center
of the vein, or at the point of maxi
mum width, rather than at either end.
1t sometimes happens that a mine
has had a great record for production
along a certain portion of a assure
or at a certain depth, and thereafter
has gradually diminished both in
quantity and grade of ore in depth or
laterally, or both. 1t may then be
thought desirable to sell out, and pur-
chasers have been known to appear,
particularly in some distant quarter
of the globe, who buy the mine on the
strength of it's past record and fame,
neglecting the old truth that every
pound of ore taken out of a vein leaveS
it so much poorer. AS a general rule
young bines are the best investment,
and the gest days of most mines are
within their first 500 feet of depth.
In addition to the case of assure veins
splitting up in branches and roots, a
vein of later date may cut across the
extension of a vein, faulting it and
robbing it of its values. Many vicissi-
tudes may occur which either increase
of diminish the value of the vein.-
