through the inventive genius of DR.. G.

The American telegraph typewriter
exhibited at the electrical show in the
Coliseum appears to be an ordinary
typewriter carrying a continuous roll
of paper, which Is automatically fed
and may be torn off when a message
is written.
Connected with an ordinary tele-
phone or telegraph wire in active use,
it does not in any way interfere with
the usual working Of the wire nor the

Surprising, she said. there were

MANY Women In Banks.

Ten years ago there were only two
women bankers in Kansas, now there
are more than $50, If one counts as
bankers the presidents and so on, in
GLIDING the cashiers and directors.
There are four women presidents, Is
so cashiers, $50 assist
ant cashiers and $50 directors. Miss
Anna Speck, who is of the bank com.
missioner's Office, says that If there
were more women bankers there would
be no need of bank supervision and no
bankers colonies in the state pris-
ons. She has found them absolutely
honest In their accounts. She knows

"Oh, Miss Hulse." sang out DR.. Sto-
well, Just a minute, please. Remem-
Der what you asked me the other day?
Here's your chance. We need little
ballast. Want to come along"
In a minute!" laughed Miss Hulse.
Her mother was there, and several
of her friends They protested. Why,
there were two in the basket Of the
balloon already, and a trip In the air
was most dangerous, and the sky
looked threatening and-oh. 1t was al
together too perilous.
For answer to all these objections
the pretty girl let herself be helped
into the wicker basket that hung I'M
der the swaying bag of gas, and in a
minute more the lines were loosed.
Up, up, shot the airship into the blue.
The crowd cheered for a moment, but
held its breath when the balloon hit
into a cross current and barely missed
ending its trip then and there. 1t
missed the tall chimney of factory,
just escaping disaster by a foot or
two. Then began in earnest the flight
into the turquoise of the sky.
In jiffy the balloon was only a dot
among the clouds. The last of the
crowd saw them, the new-f1edged
pilot and his two passengers were
leaning over the side of the basket
waving their hands at the people be-
low-three midgets moving under

Landing Safely Made.
That night wire to the club
brought the news that landing had
been made safely 25 miles away, at
Shelburne Falls, but nothing was said
OF the really important feature of the
trip. Nor was DR.. Stowells 'ascen-
sion card" any more enlightening. In
view of subsequent events, however,
this card, which he filed with the rec
ords of the club as required by the
rules, is of interest If an airman
of the future were to find this card
in looking up the records of balloon
ing in the early twentieth century he
would find that it was to all appear
ances a most uneventful trip.
