ITALY has a good feet of seventeen to which
she is making constant additions and is the first
nation to make use of aerial bombs and a flying
artilleryman. Lieutenant Gott established his
right to niche in the hall of fame by his daring
flight over the enemy at Tripoli when he dropped
four of these aerial grenades among the enemy
at various points with deadly results
Turkey, behodng the devastation Italy has
wrought from the clouds. has made rapid strides

WILL HONOR Hoos,ER POET.
Six-Day Celebration of James Whit
comb RiIey's Birthday.

indianapolis, Ind.-During the Sec
ond week of October, James Whitcomb
Riley, the beloved Hoosier poet, will
be the center of the greatest ovation
ever rendered an American writer, Octo-
ber Z, is the poets birthday, but owing
to the fact that the celebration in his
honor will be of such proportions that
it will be impossible to confine 1t to
one day, 1t has been decided to extend
1t over period of six days, beginning
Monday, October 7, and ending Satur-
day, October H. Indianapolis, Mr.
Riley's home town, has taken the lead
in this event, but the movement has
spread like wildfire and it is doubtful
whether there is a city or town in the
United States which will not have one
or more events scheduled in honor of
the poet who through the medium Of
his verses has struck a responsive
chord in every breast and has sue
cecded in bringing poetry home to the
people.
Riley programs have long been pop
ular with literary clubs and during
Riley week these programs will take,
on an added interest. Mr.. Riley is
widely known for his love of children.
Like his great predecessor. Longfel-
low, he has been able to fathom the
beauties of the child nature better
than most men, and many of his best
poems have been written for, or about,
children. For this reason "Riley
Week" will be generally observed in
schools with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excellent
health. The paralysis which manifest
ed itself in his right arm little more
than year ago is rapidly disappear
Ing and he says he feels as well as
ever he did in his life Every day he
takes long ride about Indianapolis
and the surrounding country in his
big touring car and he is known as an
enthusiastic motorist. He is always
happy and is usually surrounded by
group of close friends
There is no more popular man in In
dianapolis than James Whitcomb Ri.
ley, and this popularity does not come
merely from the fact that he is a
world figure. He was popular long be-
fore he was famous and when in his
presence one forgets the fact that he
is the greatest American poet. He is
just a man, simple, unassuming. lik-
able His fellow townsmen have al
ways taken pride in doing him honor.
and that pride will be greater than
ever during the celebration of "Riley
Week"

COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed Some

George A. Birmingham. the widely
known writer, says there is no coun-
try in the world where marriage. at
least in the peasant class, is more a
matter OF bargaining, and yet shows
higher average of stability and con-
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number of pounds, sows. or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled

OF all the conquerors that have
