Believes in Parkinson.

Parkinson and 1 are friends"
said Mr.. U'Ren, in discussing the
subject this forenoon; we've been
friends for years. I know him per-
fectly, and l know that his charac-
ter is of the highest and that he is
honest.
II have been in communication
with him ever since he left Portland.
He is now in San Jose. According to
my correspondence the petitions
which the suits filed declare fraudu-
lent, because of forged names, are
good, and will hold water. He has
told me that he was fooled on petit
tions containing some 5000 to 5000
names, and that he has those in
cold storage-never filed them, but
that the petitions involved in the
present litigation are all right.
Parkinson is honest and on the
square, and you can depend on it
that he will be back here to fight the
suits filed by Judge Slater"

Roger Williams was not the first
Baptist as some enormously sup
pose. The history of the church
runs back for hundreds of years be-
fore his day. John Runyun, who
lived nearly a hundred years before
Williams was born, was a Baptist.
Williams, was, however, the first
to become a Baptist on American
soil, and he organized the first
American Baptist church in Prov
idence, r. |. The first Baptist
church in the South was constitut-
ed in South Carolina in 1882. The
first established in North Carolina
was in 1853; in Virginia, 1714; in
Tennessee, 1910; in Georgia. 1771;
in Mississippi, 1880; in Kentucky.
1881; in Alabama. 1903: in Flori-
da. 1888. In 1852, when the great
Baptist prosecution began in Vir-
ginia, there were only 5000 Bap-
lists in the whole country. In
twenty-four years they had increas-
ed to $4,000. In 1880, there were
6O0,O00i in 1912, 5000; in 1926,
23S.O0O; in 1910. $4,000; and in
1853, 1,268,765. To-day there are
in the South alone 5.3O1,166.

SYMPTOMS FELT BY AVIATORs.
Airsickness Differs From All Other
Kinds, Says the Observer.

An instructive report by DR. Rene
Cruchet. professor at the University
OF BTodeaux, on the physical symp-
toms felt by airmen when flying at
various attitudes and when making
rapid ascents and descents, has been
read at the Academy OF Science.
The doctor is convinced that air
sickness. as experienced by ayiators.
Is quite different from ordinary
mountain sickness. 1t is well known,
the doctor explained. that mountain
climbers experience a certain sick
ness when reaching an elevation of
5000. Aviators are affected in a
similar way. but much sooner, when
they have reached heights Of, say,
only 5000 to 1000 feet. The respir-
alton is shortened, the pulse beats
quicker. and headaches follow. A
general feeling of sickness is the re-
suit, and the stomach Is sometimes
upset
The dangers of highflying, there
tore, are immensely increased. as
tue aviator has not only to manage
the equilibrium of his machine and
watch the motor, but has also to
battle against physiological difficult
ties which are almost insurmount-
able. The air sickness reaches its
maximum, not when rising. but
when descending. This. says DR..
Cruchet. may partly be accounted
for by the fact that ayiators usual
Iy descend in five or ten minutes
from heights to which they took
forty or fifty minutes to mount. The
physiological disorders tend to in
crease as the airman nears the
ground. The heart beats faster
than ever, the palpitation becomes
audible. the breathing is irregular.
the buz1ing in the ears becomes vio-
lent. Other strange phenomena are
| observed. AviatOrs feel their faces
burning, they look red and blood
shot in the eyes, the headache is
more violent than in the ascent and,
what is worse than all, the eyes
close automatically and the feeling
of wanting to go TO sleep is invinci-
Bile They shut their eyes in spite
of every effort to keep them open,
and sometimes dose away for short
intervals. Something of this kind
explains DR.. Cruchet, must have

Goodbye Cartwheel 8.

Washington, May 20.-People in
the West and South have become so
rich that they carry in their pockets
more money than they used to and
the treasury department is having
trouble to supply the demand, which
is so insistent that large quantities
OF green" money. or unseasoned
bills. are being sent out.
AS a result of these conditions
money does not last long as it used
to. An official of the United States
treasury, said recently they had
decided the money lasted only half
as long as it should.
This rapid wearing out of money
has become such a serious problem
that the secretary of the treasury
has decided to issue fewer bills Of
large denomination and use the bu-
reau OF printing and engraving to
its utmost capacity in the produc-
ton of small bills Tens of mil
lions OF dollars will be printed.
The cartwheel dollar is becom-
ing as scarce in the Middle West
and South as in the East, and in
stead the business men have their
pockets filled with paper money.
This replacement of silver and gold
coin by paper has been going on
gradually for about, six years.
The large crops have provided
the farming community with more
money and the people have acquir-
ed the habit of carrying more.

WINS STRANGE DAMAGE SUIT.
Widow Blames Editor Of Family
Medicine Book for Husbands
Death.

.
Death.
Paris, May 20.-M. Tournleux, a
cabinet-maker, several weeks ago
returned home at noon "in a condi-
tion of inebriety." He said to Nine
Tourniex, II am drunk, go to the
chemist and get something to sober
me. The wife looked UP her fam
ly medicine book and ordered this
mixture: Water, 100 grammes; pep
permint tincture, Is grammes; am
monia. 5 grammes.
NJ. TournieuX drank the portion
and was sobered instantly, but he
died the same day. His widow
brought an action against against
the author of the family medicine
book. The latter was a new edition
of an old work. The first edition
prescribed fifteen drops of ammon-
la for a drink cure. In the reim-
preston, by an oversight, grammes
had been printed in for drops. The
cabinet-maker's widow won her
case
The author OF the family medi-
cine book was convicted of mot
having read the proofs of the new
edition with sufficient care" and
sentenced to three months's impris-
onment with the benefit of the
first offenders act, and a fine of
$40. The chemist was also sentenc-
ed to one month. with the same
benefit and the same fine, for hav-
ing supplied a medicine without a
doctors prescription.
Finally, both were jointly order
ed to pay the widow 5000 damages
down. and an income of $50 during
life, and $50 a year to each of her
children till they come of age. This
has probably proved the most ex-
pensive misprint on record.

Woman Prefers Male Apparel.

Jack May, a woman farmer from
Norfolk, England, whose arrival in
America some time ago was chron-
icled at the time, has reached West
minister to take up farming on a
large scale. Miss May had some
difficulty with the immigration au-
thorities at Halifax on her arrival,
due in part to official failure to
realize that it was her right to wear
a heavy knitted mans sweater, a
peaked cloth cap, square-toed
boots and corduroy trousers.
The neither garments worn-not
affected-by Jack May are not
freakish hobble pantlets or demi-
culottes, but the real thing. She
has been wearing this garb for 10
years in England, where she has
been farming ever since she was
old enough to have her own way.
Finding skirts a nuisance one
afternoon while haying she walked
into a nearby barn and shut the
door. When she came out her
brothers trousers had replaced the
skirt.
For a time after this Miss May
wore trousers in the fields and
skirts when going out or driving,
but it was not long before she dis
carded the clingfng draperies alto
