BILL NYE'S
ILLUSTRATOR

WAY back in early days, when we
" were kids and Bill Nye was
making the whole world laugh, Wait
McDougall was illustrating Bills con-
tributions to the daily papers. Walt
was the only living man who under
stood all the peculiarities of Bills bald
pate. This combination of artist and
author was rare, indeed, because peo-
pie who were not able to read got
plenty of amusement looking at the
pictures. They were full Of humor
and as comical as the text that in
spired them.
Walt was Woodworking young
fellow, and 1T seemed as though he
were destined to finish his career
at the drawingboard.
But Nye passed away in the flesh,
became an immortal In spirit, and
McDougan turned his attention to
drawing pictures for the comic supple
ments. Age did not seem to witheT
his style or his fertility. Nor did II
scar the smoothness of his rubicund
jowl. In fact, McDougall seemed to
be growing younger. He declined to
recognize the Osler doctrine or to hear
the gong of old Father Time beating
its tattoo.
ings for seven comic supplement
pages and winding up the illustra-
tions for a book, he turned his at
tenticn to fiction and wrote a tale
entitled THE YOGIS CURSE y
which he sent to THE CAVALIER

WHEN THE COMET
RAN AWAY"
BY J. H. WHITSON

THERE is more to commend this
1 story to your attention than the
mere fact that 1t has an 'aerial
setting 1t Is a bully piece Of writing,
full Of movement and go, and one
reading II is bound to feel the same
ecstasy as one coursing through the
stimulating ozone a thousand feet In
the air, watching the landscape melt
away beneath.
I am assuming. not from any infor-
nation on the subject, but because OF
the atmospheric qualities displayed,
that the writer must have ridden In
an aeroplane. The minute the engine
begins to goar, the reader is taken
aloft, where the most sensational stu
alton possible is developed.
There were two people on board the
Comet, strangers to each other when
the trip began. But when they finally
were engaged. The tale does not END
here, however. AS a matter OF fact.
another series of incidents begins to
take shape, and the reader is hurled
through twenty-thousand-w
novelette, SO fraught with action and
drama that II will be found quite inn
possible to lay the story down until
the very end.
You will have a breathless hour fol-
lowing the Comet along Its spectacular
career.
I should like to know what the read
ers of The Cavalier think of this story
for the reason that I expect to get
others from this author, who writes
with much vivacity.

"A SOCIETY WONDER"
BY CLARA MORRIS

THE title of this story, in conjunc-
ton with the author. makes it
quite impossible for a CAVALIER
reader to let this number escape.
What romantic value the name
Clara Morris possesses! The mind
harks back to the past. when this
great emotional actress, with her
splendid gifts and her fine art, was
the favorite of the nation. Upon her
retirement from the stage Clara Nor
ris gave herself to literature. and
the reading public received a series
of volumes, "reminiscences, fiction, es-
says, and exquisite pen-pictures. In
everything she did, the supreme quail
ity of the artist manifested itself.
In "A SOCIETY WONDER" her
short story contributed to THE CAV
.ALIER OF July 6. she shows another
phase OF her gifts. 1t would be quite
as unfair. to tell the plot of this story
as II would be to ask Clara Morris to
play the last act of Camille" first.

ANACOSTIA. d. c.. JULY !


This Improvement Association OF Suit
land. Prince George county, Md. has
before 1t once more the subject OF
transportation facilities between Ana
costa and Suitland.
The bill proposing to charter the East
Wasnintgon Heights Suburban Railway
Company, which plans TO build a trolley
road along Good Hope road and Suit
land road into Prince George county,
still rests In the House COMMITTEES on
the District of Columbia, although many
efforts have been made to have report
on II.
At a meeting Of the suitland Improve
ment Association on "Wednesday night,
held in the home of James West, In
SuitlInd, the following COMMITTEES was
named to try to get the bill reported
out of the committee: DIR. Z. h. Weiss.
Of Anacosia: Charles l. Jenkins, and
George Haas. The question of esta5-
fishing an automobile service between
Anacostia and Suitiand was considered
a matter contingent largely upon the
fate of the railway bill now In the
House District Committee. 1t was ex-
planned that several members of the
association have pledged themselves TO
subscribe sums varying from $SOo lp-
ward to the automobile line. Tnis
would utilize the same route as proposed
for the trolley road.
Information being lacking as to the
status of the project in the absence OF
DR.. c. NJ. Emmons, chairman, 1t was

1t was decided to observe the second
anniversary of the association on Au-
gust q at the home of Charles l.. Jen-
kins, in Suitland. when a lawn fete, TO
which will be invited the members OF
the citizens families. will take place.
The Government vessels lying in the
Anacostia river at the wharf of the
Washington Navy Yard presented a
spectacle yesterday that is not often
viewed here. The craft were all dressed
out with banners and fags in honor OF
the Fourth of July.
Lying side by side at the wharf are

cutter boat, and the monitor Tallahas-
see, which arrived a short time ago.

with a terse letter to the effect that
IL we didn't like 1t, we could return
1t with no questions asked. But 1t did
not happen to be the kind OF a story
We could AFFORD to return. So We ac-
cepted it, and Walt McDougall is now
an author.
I am at a loss to know where he
got his Information about yogis, or
what inspired this particular type of a
story. 1t is sufficient to say that, in
the language of my friend Mr.. Chuck
Connors, its a beaut!"
1t is full of the occultism Of the
East and the mystery of India. In a
sense, 1t Is perfectly preposterous.
But McDougall has written 1t so well
and with such a fine appreciation of
the limitations of superstition, that
1t is alive with reality.

FRESH VEGETABLES
AND FRUITS BRING
REDUCED PRICES
Peaches, Berries, and Gar
!, den Truck All Sold At
Reasonable Rates.

A good big drop in the prices of all
fresh vegetables and fruits is the most
striking fiuctuation noticeable at Center
Market today. Peaches are lower than
was ever known before at this season
OF the year, selling at 10 cents a pan.
Apples can be bought for 35 cents a
peck. and other fruits show a similar
decline in price. .-
Strawberries are now off the market.
but raspberries are plentiful and black
berries have also come in such great
abundance that they bring about s cents
aQuart. Watermelons are beginning to
be seen frequently and bring an average
OF about 35 cents for a good-sized
melon. ..
Drop In Vegetables.
In the vegetable line, there is a slight
drop in the prices on beans, cabbage,
cucumbers. new potatoes, squash, corn,
and other varieties. Asparagus Is all
most gone and is bringing % cents or
better when II can be found. ..
The only change in prices on fresh
meats Is in veal, which shows a drop.
Veal chops, which last week brought as
high ais Is cents, can now be bought for
Is and 20 cents. Outlets bring Is cents
and sweetbreads from 10 to rs cents. ac-
cording to size.
Beef Still High.
Beef In all its products continues high
and shows no sign of weakening. The
exceedingly hot weather makes 1t diff
cult for the butcher to keep his meat
and this will help to keep the price up.

quotations on the market this morning:
