RIVERS IN The AIR
Curious PLAY of the Winds In the
Yosemite Valley.

Did you know there are air falls in
the atmosphere just as real and APP
parent as are the waterfalls you hive
so often viewed with admiration and
delight because of their natural beau
ty? In the famed Yosemite valley the
most interesting feature is, to the sci
enlist perhaps. its winds.
The winds there are seldom more
than light zephyrs. moody and capri

rightly understood one OF the wonders
OF the valley. These interesting facts
are told by Professor F. z. MatthessOf

In no other place in the entire woEld
perhaps are the air currents moreSyS-

Bnt under these conditions the afr
does not rise vertically because the air
directly over Il Is still cool and is pr ess-
ing downward. Therefore up the sides
OF the warm slope the heated air ms kes
its way. That is why the tourist max
ing his way up the mountain slope
with the sun on his back finds blsAovn

But on coming down the same TT all

Abandoned Mines.

Old worked out mines are often high
" dangerous. When they are almost
forgotten the ground above them Will
sometimes cave in with disastrous re-
suits. 1t is not an uncommon thing
in an old mining district to see a
house or even part of town that has
been wrecked by dropping into an I'M
suspected and long abandoned tunnel
beneath. The ordinary preventive
method used in American mines Is
more or less extensive timbering. A

CHEAP SHOWS AID
VICIOUS system
Path Leads to Resort, Says
Leader in Men and Religion
Movement.

THESE cheap theatrical companies
are just one Of the recognized feeders
for the system Tie advertisements
for chorus girls, like some Of the ad-
vertisements for stenographers and
other girl workers, are often designed
simply to gel The girls, The paths all
lead TO the same end--the resort"
That is the opinion of Marion NJ.
Jackson, whose work in the present
campaign Of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement is attracting 80 much
attention. Mr. Jackson was discussing
the case OF Vessie Bostwick, Este)le
Reed and Buster" Reed three girls
found in the employment of the EN-
pire Comedy Company. a fve-cent
show in a whitehall street motion pic
ture theater. While ne had made no
investigation Of these particular cases,
MIR. Jackson did not hesitate to declare
the theatrical company lodges a part
of the game

in the suburbs Of Atlanta viii show one

now for working this theatrical agency
game. He lured an Atlanta girl to
Tampa. Fla, under preteXt of giving
her employment as a chorus girl, She
landed where most OF them land. but it
happened that a man with heart met
her and saved her She was brought
home and the Theatrical agent con-
victed Of white slavery"
Recorder Broyles heard the case
against w r. Swaringen. manager Of
the Empire Comedy Company, and dis
missed IL, as Swaringen was merely
charged with conducting an agency
without license. The manager showed
that ne was operating a company and
not conducting an agency and upon
statements that the two Reed girls
we're not under sixteen years old the

and set the manager and girls free.
The Reed girls were summoned as
witnesses to the charge that Swarm

Mr.. Ripley contends that railroads
should be permitted to issue all the
securities they could sell at par;
that railroad investments were not
bringing a fair return; that the tax
value was greater than the earning
value; that personal injury and dam

excess Of those of other states and

commissioner should be a practical
