Vanity is the milliner's best salesman.
A man should never settle down until
after he has settled up.
If you would be happy let the other

Most people enjoy warmed over love

A man seldom attempts to escape any
temptation that looks good to him.
When the average man is polite to his
wife in public she is apt to look SUI

A man may do just as he pleases, but
he doesn't enjoy it unless he has a wife to

a MORNING. GLORY.


Let me look deep in your rainbow bell
Hold1ng the morn in a purple well.
GODDESS Aurora surely fingered,
Fiame-crowned, mist-veiled, dewy-fin-
gered,
Pausing upon her rapturous way
DOWN through the stars with the new
born day,
And kissed you awake. so in looking
back
You'd smile in her face, on her blithe-
some track.
As her trailing robes float on with the
day
You pine for her kiss and turn away:
Lest her luSty rival look into our eyes,
You cover your heart n hide your
signs.
But why should I sorrow, beautiful sprite.
Hiding your prismy color and light
Aflane from her torch like new red
wine?
E'er you yelled your eyes you looked
into mine.

made the point that virtually every
one of these swindling concerns is
duly incorporated and possesses A
charter under the seal of a sovereign
state qualifying it to go put and rob
as many victims as it can find. As a
remedy against these colossal frauds
he said the bankers of Illinois have

already accomplished marveIs in pro-
tecting her population against Wild
cat concerns by insisting that every
company doing business in her terri
tory shall come under the eve of the
state authorities. The the
statement of any concern does NOT
come up to the acid test it's charter is

COLLISIONS IN MIDAIR.
1t is not recalled that the fatal col
nslon between two ~aeroplanes invoIv-
ing the death of two French army
officers has a parallel in the tragic
history of aviation. With all outdoors
TO maneuver in, and with untrammeled
mobility of action, the danger of two
aeroplanes either colliding head-on or
side wiping would seem to be too re-
mote to calculate upon. Yet the two
machines mentioned were describing
a course as nearly on the same level
n curve as two trains on a single
track and met at as high speed and
destructive impact as two iron horses
ever did. As 1t was, however, the mis-
hap hardly could have occurred had
the two aviators been able to distin-
guish flying objects around them. They
a ventured out too early for the GUS
atmosphere of dawn made them invisi-
BILE to each other. The possibility of
collision probably did not present
itself, else the slightest precaution
would ave sufficed to avert what hap
pened. Still, liability to collision
be added to the awful risks en-
by the birdmen. Naturally,
frequent on flying grounds like the
French military aviation field where
the fatal collision occurred or like the
one at College Park, where Lieutenant
and Aviator Welsh persisted
the other day. In any case, however,
will be of rare occurrence as
is now carried on. But what
in the future, when the worlds battles
be fought in midair by fleets Of
aerop1anes under conditions, as now
understood, resembling a clash be-
