grew warm and air-sailing was looked
upon as a sport.
You may think from this that peo-
pie were blood-thirsty in those days,
but OF the contrary they had travelled
far from the days of the old Roman
arena. The Romans turned thumbs
DOWN If the show was dull; but the
people of the age of 1912 only fought
one another for souvenir pieces of the
aeroplane in which their favorite avi-
ator, as they called them then, had
been killed. Civilization had made
vast strides.
THE sport of it worked this way:
Some financiers under the name Of
some club would advertise what they
called an aviation meet. They would
offer money prizes, for this was in the
days when people would do anything
for money. There would be prizes for
the longest flights, the fastest flights,
the highest flights, and so on and so
forth, until there was nothing a man
in a flying machine could do that
wouldn't bring him a prize, except one
thins-he mustn't come down on his
head; if he did the prize went to some
body else.
After they'd advertised all these
prizes and had got the aviators to-
gether, the promoters would hire a
field a mile long by half a mile wide
and build a grand stand around it that
would hold a million people, more or
less. Did they pay people to come and
sit for hours watching a few ma
chimes in the air? They did not The
people paid for the privilege.
The first day brought out
the biggest crowds. People didn't
know whether anything worth seeing
would happen. But suppose one of
the boys took a tumble. Or, better, If
half a dozen of them fell. Next day
the police would have to fight for
their lives to keep the ~falling-field
clear. That's what they called the
space where the fiiers landed-some-
times.
All the gentle and refined people OF
the day who had the price would be
out there waiting for things to hap.
| pen. The ladies would be there by
thousands. 1t was before they could
vote, and they had TO find excitement
some way. L hope there aren't any
of those frightful accidents today one
lady would say to her friend. SO dc
r. says the other. oh, look! There's

ERUPTION DIsFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-'ln the
spring of~1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking gu on her
lip and part of her cheek hat we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large ringworm, only it differed in
that it was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching 1t.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at it's
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement Of her
face was gone.
Il wrote and received a sample OF
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, SO we bought
some more. 1t gradually grew better.
We kept on using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and in three or four months
the child was entirely cured

AS 1T SEEMED TO THE BOY
Youngsters Criticism Not Unnatural
When One Considers the Present
Fashionable Designs.

Mrs. peekman Winthrop ct q lunch
con at the Colony club in New York
said of the 1913-1914 fashions:
Il admit hat some of these fashions
are beautiful. The worst structure, per
haps, that can be uttered against them
was the unconscious structure Of a lit
tie boy friend of mine.
He was looking at a photograph of
a very beautiful lady. This beautiful
lady wore a bali gown of diaphanous
white stuff like gossamer. Ter white
arms were bare. Great VS. in front and
back barred her neck and shoulders. A
clash on the left side of the skirt re-
vealed her white silk stockings, her
little white shoe, and the shoes fasten-
ings of narrow ribbon that ran in crisis
cross, sandal fashion, up her slim,
glistening ankle.
The little boy studied this beautiful
Photograph gravely. Then he said:
"'She's dressing. isn't she?'"

"Mystery FIaQs."

In the midst of hat wonderful COZ
lection OF the souvenirs of battle that
has lately zee put on permanent ex-
hibition in Trophy hall at the Naval
Academy, in Annapolis, are the ma
tons unknown trophies. Flags that
were captured in now forgotten en-
gagment are hung in the cases side by
side with those whose glorious history
is known.
Two of these souvenirs of forgotten
battles are British flags. One is a
Jack marked Avon" and nothing
more; the other is the ensign of a
worship, and is marked "Beresford."
From the condition of both of these
flags it is supposed that they date
gives no record of ships bearing those
names being sent to American waters
by Great Britain. Another of the mys-
terry flags is the "S14" flag. In great
white figures this number appears on
a field of blue and the entire flag is
bordered with red. From some en-
gagement in the war with the Moorish
| pirates the flag that h officers at

We'll, after awhile more people be

LAWYER Scored on Judge.

Lord Mansfield received a hard set
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house of lOrds-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to a trust estate. In the course
of his argument he had frequent Occa-
sion to use the word Curator" always
p~rOnOuncing it in the manner approved
in the Scottish courts; that is, with
the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the ears of Lord
Mansfield, who, though a Scotsman by
birth, had taken pains to become
Anglicized. At last he broke out:
Mr.. ErsKine, we are in the habit in
this country of saying curator, fol-
lowing the analogy of the Latin, in
which, as you are doubtless aware, the
penultimate syllable is long"
Il thank your lordship very much"
returned Erskine. I'VE are weak
enough in Scotland to think chat in
p~rOnouncing the word curator we are
following the analogy of the English
language; but need scarcely say that

The days of the land and water

I've just been reading a reprint of an
ancient magazine article, The Sport

Il was there at the time" said Cap

the glass wall of the room at a dirty

along on the 5000 foot level, her crew
staring in bored fashion at the city be-

How much?" The amounts vary
from M hundred pounds to a couple

in the occurrence dies with that.
But the authorities here have been
working on a scheme for the suppress.

far too many beggars in Paris, who

hind them when they die. These peo'
pie nave invariably been helped, if not
entirely supported, by the Assistance
Publique for years, or at all events for
many months Tin other words, the tax
payers, theatergoers and racegoers
have been keeping them, the chart
table have placed money in their grimy
hands, and when the police find the
inevitable sun of money hidden in the
mattress or elsewhere in the inevita-
bly, grimy garnet, it Is inevitable that
legitimate heirs appear, who prove
their near relationship to the dead
man or woman, INT carry off the non

A scheme is now being prepared for

raise sentimental objection to its pass

USE A "BLUFF" TO IMPRESS
Some Cases of Deception That Have
Come Under TN. Observation OF
Group OF Bankers.

A group Of bankers met for their
daily lunch at a club restaurant
where it was their habit to discuss
various problems. This time the con-
versation drifted toward the various
modes of deception practiced by peo'
pie. One member related how, among
his acQuaintances there were five who
owned pianos but hot n could play.
These friends, he stated, were in but
fair circumstances, and to his think
ing it was folly to invest merely for
the sake of appearances. Another
member OF the party stated that ne
knew a family where they had five
shelves for the faks books to enlarge
the library SO that 1t would have an
impressive appearance. Glass doors
covered the shelvea. and whenever a
visitor expressed a desire to consult
any particular book the key to the
doors could not be found. Each bank
err seemed to have some story to tell;
even Silent Clarke" as one of the
members was known. because of the
few stories he told startled them all
by reciting the methods employed by
a man he knew whose desire was to
impress everyone that he was rich.

1912 the human ace was badly af-

thing they never had seen before. For
one thing they wanted to see how far

upon aeroplane flying as a sport.
