BACON WROTE SHAKESPEARE
AND INVENTED AEROPLANE

Detroit, Jan. 4.-Following closely
on the announcement by DR.. Orville
w. owen that his researches in Eng
land for proof that Frances Bacon
wrote the plays of William Shake
speare are fast nearing completion
comes the admission of the doctor that
Sir Frances is the inventor, or at least
the designer of an airship.
I'VE haven't discovered the airship,
said the doctor yesterday, but we have
found descriptions of one in our eXca-
vations in the river Wye, which are
undoubtedly the work of the man
whom we are certain is the author of
the plays attributed to Shakespeare.
And he, of course, is Sir Francis Ba-
con-"

body cares. The home sewing mother
sees what her neighbours child is
wearing and copies it, and there is no
bad feeling between the homes.
Our illustration displays the sort of
coat that suits a child from four to
seven, for when the youngest ages are
considered in style there is always a
babyish touch to the article, whatever
it is. The straight sacque shape Of
this double-breasted cloak, simple as
it is, however, will suit the richest as
well as the plainest materials, and
also pretty touches with fur. An eco
nomical scheme is suggested in the
present instance, the coat being of
quite a cheap fancy coating and the
bit of trimming, looking like fur or
aStrakan cloth.
Smarter coats may be made in
either of these styles of corduroy, vel
veteen or plain cloth, but where
money is not plentiful a reversible or
mixed wool would be the best choice
for coat that must do for all occa-
sions.
In the departments of costly things,
the imported coats, hats and frocks
that appeal to fat purses and that fol-
low many of the vagaries of adult
styles, there is decided tendency to-
ward the use of taTnished gold and sill
Yer trimmings. AS many of these
beautiful garments as are left over
at holiday time will be much reduced
then, and if none can be purchased,
there is always a hint to be got from
them. But it is the child around the
baby age-under tive-that is most
often allowed the tinsel trimmings;
the bigger ones cannot ape their cid
ers in such extravaganoes. Yet what
a fairy touch the furnished laces and
braids give dress, although, of course,
everything else must accord.

SOUTH NOT DEPENDENT ON
COTTON.

There is no escaping the fact" says
the Fort Worth Record, that cotton IS
at once the South's chief dependence
and greatest resourse.
Cotton" the Record adds, lis sta
pie of the worlds need and because it
can be grown upon only few sections
of the earth's surface, of which the
South is the largest"
Partly correct, partly incorrect, in
the opinion of the Houston Chronicle,
which says
1t is true the South is the largest
area in which cotton is now profitably
grown 1t is not certain this must or
will always be the case. The agricul-
tural scientists inform us that if mod
ern methods of fertilization and mod
ern machinery for cultivation were
introduced into India the vast cotton
fields of that British province could be
made to yield many times their pres
ent product of cotton Starved hand
labor is the costliest in our time. 1t
is inevitable, with the Onward marcn
of triumphant capitalism-or the pos
sible coming of scientific socialism
that modern methods will in due time
be introduced into that field
Again, we are credibly informed that
cotton can be grown on a very large
scale in Argentina, a country south of
the equator, with a climate and soil
very much like those of the Southern
States.
Finally, as cold matter of fact, the
South is not at all dependent on cotton,
since every Southern State can, if its
| farmers wish it, produce corn, cereals
and meat, milk, butter, cheese, fruits
and vegetables more abundantly and at
less cost than the Northern States,
Which have grown rich producing these
staples
In word the South can become the
richest agricultural region on the
globe without growing a single lock of
cotton.
OF course, it will not abandon this
wonderful crop. But it can, and will,
We believe, each year produce moro
corn, meat, milk butter fruit and gar
den truck, thus placing its farmers in
| position to demand at all times fair
! price for their cotton-which ought to
be their great money crop, instead of
being, as it now too often is, a sole
dependence and broken staff.

NORFOLK COMES DOWN TO ONE
PAPER.

One of the most interesting news
paper items of the new year was the
announcement of the consolidation of
the two daily papers of Norfolk, Va.
Although amply capitalized it was
found that it was a losing game, an
Improbable venture and as a result
the consolidation took place The ed
torial announcement in the Land
mark, which was merged into the Vir-
! gian Pilot says:
"On January LIST the good will and
business of The Norfolk Landmark
will be merged with that of the Vir-
ginian-Pilot. The two papers, as one
publication, will appear under the
name of The Virginian-Pilot with a
notation The Norfolk Landmark pub
lished by The Virginian-P Publish
ing Company. The present owners Of
this paper will acquire stock holding
interest in that company.
! This step was not taken hastily, or
without mature consideration. An ag-
gressive and liberal policy of expendi-
ture by the Norfolk Landmark had
demonstrated that Norfolk could not,
at least for the present support two
morning papers, which, in the volume
and accuracy of the news and the man
ner and promptness of its service,
would prove worthy of the city.
When the owners of The Virginian-
Pilot were approached, it was found
that they fully shared this opinion,
but their attachment to interests of
the city and its people, and the COM
handing position which they had es-
, tablished for their paper in this COM
munity was such that they desired 70
maintain the same, and accordingly a
, consolidation of interests suggested by
this paper has been. after serious de-
liberation. successfully concluded In
the conference held between the re-
! spective owners, as much thought and
consideration was given to the inter
ests of Norfolk and the patrons of its
morning papers as to the financial in
terests of the owners, and it was con-
, cluded thatthe real welfare of Norfolk
and its citizens could best be served by
one morning paper that would combine
the work of both in united effort to
n"build and promote the best tradi-
tons and interests of Norfolk. The
Norfolk Landmark wishes to acknowl-
edge gratefully the past loval and
kindly support of its friends, both
readers and advertisers and to assn q
= them that no reason exists why these
+ relations, so helpful and encouraging,
, should not continue.
. The best interests alike of a news
paper and of a community in which It
exiss and exercises its influence are
never at odds, but ever identical"

The Balance.

Two broken-down paupers met in the
poor house yard, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer 1t was evident to eacn
that the other had seen better days;
each could see in the others face the
sign that noble and ingenious mini
had succumbed to the blows of adverse
fortune.
Friend, what has reduced you to
this sad condition." the first asked
gently.

second wreck. Il was an inventor
And every time l invented a great
thing some heartless capitalist got az

Bankers and manufacturers and rail
road officials who have been asked to
prognosticate the business of the COM
ing year are almost uniformly en-
couraging. Perhaps the railroad men
are the least so, but the railroad bust
ness has already given more signs of
Improvement than most other lines
and the very considerable increase of
railroad buying is a better indication
of what the managers think of the
business prospects than any interview
given to a newspaper could be. Many
men of light and leading in the bust
ness world are looking forward to :,
particularly good year.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
by DIR. T. J ALLEN
Food Specialist
A LESSON FROM THE SHAK-
ERS.

The Shakers, who are distIn-
suished by simplicity in diet 8:
we'll as In other things, have
great lesson to teach the Amer
lean people in that partIcula-, II
not In others. The Oneida com
nfunity adopted about 30 chill
dren, having none of their own,
and all reached maturity, cir
cumstance we'll worthy OF note.
The children were fed alone, on
simpler and more wholesome
diet than that eaten by the ad-
ults, and the natural con-
sequence followed, immunity
from those di-eases that carry
off SO large percentage of in
fants and children. Sanitary
conditions in general have much
to do with the health of chill
dren, but vital resistance de-
Ponds upon nutrition, and the
excessive mortality of infants,
in summer, especially, is due
chiefly to bad ,eeding. We have
seen coffee, tea, white bread,
pie and cake fed to children by
people who knew that there is
a doubt as to the wholesome
ness of those things, as every
one must know who reads the
newspapers.

Novel Emery Baa.

That useful little article of the sew
ing and embroidery bag which first
appeared in the strawberry form can
be bought at up-to-date counters in
several other shapes, among them be-
ing the thornberry, grape and chest
nut. By this it can be seen that al
most any bag, no matter how elab-
crate the embroidery upon it, or any
sewing basket, no matter how eX-
pensive, can have an emery bag to
match it. A needle worked through
this tiny object will save many min
utes of vexatious endeavor in drawing
the needle through the obstreperous
silks and the thicker linens. Many
bags have complement of the whole
