Crime Aboard Fast Trains in the
Republic Is Getting More and
More Frequent.
Jumps FROM EXPRESS
Wife Of an Army Officer Tells How
She Was Compelled to Leap From
a Flying Coach to Escape
Rufflans.

paris.-Crime aboard trains going
at sixty miles an hour Is getting more
and more FREQUENT in France; some
thing like a panic exists among the
women of the travelling public, ana
no woman undertakes trip alone I'M
less absolutely compelled to DO SO, ana
then it is with misgivings.
Nine. valiant. wife Of Captain Vail
liant. stationed at Bernay, in the Eure,
has suffered the latest adventure. Sne
became SO alarmed by the conduct or
three strange men in the compartment
with her that she considered her
chances of surviving a leap from the
,fying express better than II she re-
NAMED in the train. She leaped. Al
though bruised and shaken she es-
capped death.
Nine. valiant explains that ever
since Nine. Gouin, her personal frlend'
widow of a former governor OF the
Bank of France, was murdered De
tween Fontainebleau and Paris, and
her body thrown from the fast run

| travel first class. Sc when she started
to Paris she came third class, belleV.
ing she would not be molested since
third class passengers are usually moi
very wealthy.
For a time she was alone in he1
compartment, specially reserved fol
women travelling alone. Shortly after
wards, however, while the train was
making fast time three men from an
other compartment came in and join
ed her. One Of them lowered the
light which Illuminated the compart

REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING
Secretary Wilson Thinks Lands Near
large Cities SHOULD De Utilized
for Home Supplies.

In line with his policy to use the
of the Department OF Az
riculture to help lower the cost 9f
living, Secretary Wilson thinks the
lands near the. large cities should be
used SO that their markets for food
stuffs could be supplied with home
grown products. Only recently $4,000
tons Of potatoes reached New YORK
from Scotland for New York city
consumption. within an hours ride
Of the Greater City there is enough
uncultivated land to produce many
times the amount of this cargo OF
potatoes, if only properly cultivated.
This applies not only to the pota-
to crop but to nearly all the trucking
crops. And, too, this situation does
not affect New York alone, but every
city and community from Maine to
Texas, and the west and middle west,
but, indeed, almost the entire country.
washington is fair example OF
the agreement There are thousands
Of acres Of cheap lands in nearby
Maryland and Virginia that would
supply the Washington market with
eli the potatoes, cabbage. and other
truck crops 1t would consume. In,
stead, mest of the supply OF these
farm products is shipped from dis
lance at, of course, a much higher
cost than would be the case If they
were produced in contiguous terri
tory. The important fact in regard
to this is that these lands in Mary
land and Virginia can be bought
cheap and put in condition for cul
tivation at nominal outlay.
"In the south our reports show thai
most of the potatoes, cabbage, eggs
| butter. and meats used are shipped
| from distance. One of our agents
reported that he ordered eggs TO
breakfast at hotel in North Carolin
! and was informed that the train from
Washington was late and there wer
no eggs to be had in the town. Will
in a radius OF a few miles of thi
city is enough vacant land to suppl
nearly the entire state with eggs
/ This agent found that IS per cent. c
the eggs, butter, poultry, meats, an
vegetables were imported from on
| of-state markets.

FiIipinos Dislike Autos.

The reckless and insolent automo-
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines. where most Of the auto
mobilists are foreigners, and where
the natives have been used TO loite tier
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion Of easy-going southern coun-
tries, the automobiles have long been
a grievance, and, failing to secure Of.
fectiye regulation, the Filipinos have
adopted the practice Of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at a breakneck
speed

Grow Legumineus Crops.
Union City, Ga

Let us not forget that the growing of
leguminous crops means rich land and
fat stock. Let us plant the poor spots
in some leguminous crop. Let us plant
to follow the oats, rye and wheat with
peas, beans, peanuts or soy beans.
Let us be sure and put peas or soy
beans or peanuts in the corn at the
