THE AlRsH1p IN NAVAL MANEUvERs.

eTa HE development of aviation has reached a stage where it can
be used in connection with naval maneuvers, and probably
experiments will be made by the Atlantic fleet before it
leaves the North Atlantic coast. This will be the first time that
the aeroplane will have figured in naval movements, and it will
anticipate the time in the near future when the airship will be as
important as the submarine in naval engagements.

m GAIN it is death in the automobile at the railroad crossing,
M and again, too, in New Jersey, which has witnessed so many
of these preventible tragedies. At the little village of
German Valley, in Norris county, and at an unprotected grade cross
ing of the Central railroad yesterday, one woman was fatally in
jured and another woman's hip was broken. Who are to be the
next victims? And when is this daily butchery to cease? And
what are highsalaried state commissioners maintained for?

ENDS NOVEL AS DEATH COMES.

It appears that the late David
Graham Phillips left several completely
finished novels, one of which is to be
published by the Appletons in the au-
tumn. He had written the last words
of a novelette, a few hours before his
death.

I have just read of the two Colorado
convicts- who were sent after a bunch
of State cattle that had escaped from
the State R~eformatory farm. The men
returned in ten days with the cattle,
prepared to serve out their long sem
fences.
1t is simply an instance of what can
be done by the so-called prison re-

progressive States. Is New Jersey go

Bradley TheAter

"Always little better show at the Bradley, "keep Cool.n These are summer Bradley mottos. They are not meaningless mottos either but are lived up 10, amt the patrons will sub stantiale this statement. They have cut their admission price in half, which cuts their receipts in half, but they have not cut their shows so much as hair In fact they are bigger, more interesting, instructive and hu- morous than ever before. They are pleasing the patrons and that pleaseS the management. The Still Alarm, and The Million Dollar Fire at Coney Island to be shown at the Bradley are feature pictures sutpaSsing anything vet shown. The house has been for tunate in securing some very catchy illustrated songs in which John Perry makes n hit nightly. The public's in- terest is the managers interest, that Is why money Is spent for the public's comfort. You can sit in the cool breeze Of an electric fan and have a cool drink of distilled water. These are little things in themselves but all go to enhance the comfort of the audi. ences that are looking for just that same comfort on these warm summer evenings. Tell your friends just what you think of Bradley shows Give an honest opinion and the management will be satisfied.

cts and decorative buttons are the only

wide revers extended out over the Shout
der and crossed far down in front, fast
ening with two tortoise shell buttons. The
comfortable sleeves had wide black satin
cuffs.
Another coat of dark tan MORE was
lined throughout with a soft scarlet silk.
There were pipings of the scarlet on the
collar and cuffs and scarlet and tan silk
frogs fastened the coat far at the side.
With it went an odd shaped motor bon
