We Are Behind in Aviation.

Europe is in earnest in seeking the
ultimate conquest of the air, while
America looks on as the spectator Of
a contest in which she was once SUI
preme. The chief reason why mill
tary aeronautics fail to go ahead in
America is that the government does
not make the pursuit of the science re-
munerative enough to attract the best
qualified experts to engage in it The
only way by which America can re-
gain her lost laurels is for the govern
ment to pay its military birdmen lib
orally for their risks and guarantee
the support Of their families in case of
disability or death. At present the
newest military arm of the service is
undermined, inadequately equipped
and poorly paid, Notwithstanding the
fact that an American officer perfected
the most deadly bomb-dropping device
and thereby secured for our coast de-
lenses an invulnerable offensive ally.
1t is time for the government to wake
up or this Observation-Disclosures

WOMAN SEEKS REST IN JAIL
Worn Out by Drudgery of Her We'd
ded State, She Steals to Be
Arrested,

Brooklyn.-After working all day on
the case Of a woman who said she
stole to get into Jail and thus escape
what she called the drudgery of mar
ried life in a tenement house." Miss
Anna 1. Connolly, probationary officer
of the Adams street court in Brooklyn
said that she had failed to learn the
identity Of the strange prisoner. While
the woman talked freely to Miss Con-
nelly about the conditions of her home
life, which she said, drove her to seek
rest in jail, she refused to tell her
name or make known her address.
Miss Connolly said that she would try
again to find relatives or friends of
the prisoner.
The woman, who seems to prefer
life behind prison bars to being a
drudge, is being held for special ses-
sions on a charge of shoplifting. When
she was arrested in a Fulton street
store and accused of stealing a rem
nant of silk and an ostrih plume, she
said that she wanted to be arrested.
She is seemingly some forty years old
and has the appearance of one who
has led a life of hard work. When
Magistrate Nash told the woman that
he would have to hold her for special
sessions she smiled and expressed sat
isfaction.
Il want to go to JAIL" the strange
prisoner told Miss Connolly. II went
into the store to take some things that
l might be arrested. l did this be-
cause l wanted to get way from
drudgery. l simply had to have a
rest. From the time that l get up
early in the morning, until l lay my
head on my pillow, late at night, it is
nothing but work and drudgery with
me. Not only do I have to take care
of my own home, but l must go out
each day to work-washing and such
hard toll. And for all this-faithful as
l have been as a wife-I have not in
years received a kind word from my
husband. And my only son seems to
be growing toward me like his father.
The only n who shows me any affec.
ton is my little girl, who Is but ten
years old. Yesterday, when 1 started
out to do this thing, to find a rest, 1
placed my little daughter with my sis
ter. l don't want them to know what
l have done, and I will not tell where 1
live or where my daughter is"

Church Was Minister'S Appointment
and He Needed No Help From
Canine Friend.

A wide-awake minister visited a
neighborhood for the first time. When
aroused his explosive tones were
rather startling. A good brother who
always occupied a side seat near the
pulpit was accompanied by his dog,
and the dog lay regularly just in front
Of the pulpit. All went we'll till an
explosive sentence from the minister
led the dog to raise his head and howl,
much to the amusement of the people.
This occurred several times, and
each time his dogship arose to the oc-
casion and let off a chorus of bowls.
The audience was convulsed with
laughter. The preacher, however,
easily won the day when he turned to
the dogs owner and said:
Brother, it may be your dog has a
call to preach; l do not know about
that. But this is my appointment"

FEAR INDIA GOLD H0ARDERS
Therefore England Hesltates to Give
Country Mint-FabuIous Sums
Have Disappeared.

London.-A royal commission is in
session to decide If British India shall
have a gold mint. The question is one
of international Importance, owing to
the strange instinct for boarding gold,
which has persisted in India since the
dawn of history.
Seven-eighths of the people Of Brit.
ish India do not earn more than $25
or $50 a year. Fabulous sums in
jewels and gold and silver have van
ished into India, and their exact
whereabouts is a mystery. So long
as India is restricted to foreign gold
coins she can get only as much as
the banks will let her have; but if she
gets a gold mint of her own there is
no limit to the gold she can buy On
bullion shape and convert into coin.

One of the most conspicuous sue
cekses OF the automobile world is the
fS horsepower winton six, which is
now announced for 1914, its seventh
v season. Probably no other car in the
world certainly no single model, has
ever had seven year record of success
10 its credit. From season to season
manufacturers have abandoned one type
of car for another, or one size of car
for different size. but it is evident
that when Alexander Winton produced
the first Winton Six in 1907 he de-
signed an enduring model, for il has
continuously been in favor and in all
these years has been practically the
sole product of the immense Wfnton
factory al Cleveland
II was the Winton Six that biazed
the. way for the six cylinder car in
america When Mr.. Winton became
the worlds first maker of skies exclu-
sively. four cylinder cars dominated the
market and almost nobody but Mr. Win
ton could see that any different con
dftien was likely to be brought about.
But that Mr.. Wfnton forecast the fu-
ture correctly is shown in the fact that
+ today the high grade demand is over
Whelmingly for the six cylinder car
Meanwhile Mr.. Winton has devoted
himself assiduously TO the perfection
of the AS horsepower Winton Six The

cal change. it has satisfied its owners
in a most gratifying way and has
earned for itself the worlds lowest re-
pair expense record. But il has under

vancing public taste finds desirable
Thus in the 1914 car Mr. Winton has
Incorporated the left drive and center

discarded Everything above the axles
has been lowered and the winning eff
feet of this change in suspension is
instantly apparent and will please buy
