as for the red shawl Elsie's fall tan
coat was cheap, but it had the style
and fit Of the best at Fox & Offers.
And her lucky stars had given her
good looks, and eyes as blue and
innocent as the new shade of note
paper, and she had 81 left of the
$3.50. And the letter from Mr.. Otter.
Keep your eye on the letter from
Mr.. Otter.
And so we find Elsie starting out
to seek her fortune. One trouble
about the letter from Mr.. Otter was
that it did not bear the new address
of the firm, which had moved a
month before. But Elsie thought she
could find it. She had heard that po-
icemen, when politely addressed, or
thumbscrewed by an investigation
committee, will give up information
and addresses. So she boarded a
downtown car at One Hundred and
SeVenty-frst street and rode south to
Forty-second.
A kind-faced, sunbUrned young
man went past Elsie into the Grand
Central station. That was Hank
Ross, of the Sunflower Ranch in Ida
no, on his way home from visit to
the East. Hanks heart was heavy,
for the SunfiOwer Ranch was a lone
some place, lacking the presence of
a woman. He had hoped to find one
during his visit who would congen-
tally share his prosperity and home,
but the girls TO Gotham had not
pleased his fancy. But, as he passed
in, he noted, with a jumping of his
pulses, the sweet, ingenious face of
Elsie and her pose of doubt and lone
illness. With true and honest Western
impulse he said to himself that here
was his mate. He could love her, he

No, bUmptious reader, this story
is not a continuation of the Elsie
series. But if your Elsie had lived
over here in our big city there might
have been chapter in her books not
very different from this.
Especially for the vagrant feet of
youth arethe roads of Manhattan be-
set with pitfa1 and with sin" But
the civic guardians of the young have
made themselves acquainted with the
snares of the wicked, and most of the
dangerous paths are patrOlled by
their agents. And this will tell you
how they guided my Elsie safely
through all peril to the goal she was
seeking.
Elsie's father had been a cutter for
Fox & Otter, cIOaks and fUTs, on
lower Broadway. He was an old man,
with a limping gait, so a chauffeur
ran him down one day when ivelier,
game was scarce. They took the old
mon home, when he lay on his bed
and then died, leaving $3.50 in cash
and a letter from Mr.. Otter offering
to do anything he could to help his
faithful old employee. The old cutter
regarded this letter as a valuable
legacy to his daughter, and he put it
into her hands with pride as the
shears of the dread Cleaner and Re
pairer shipped off his thread of life.
That was the landlords cue; and
forth he came and did his part in the
great eviction scene. There was no
snowstorm ready for Elsie to steal
out into, drawing her little red
wooden shawl about her shoulders,
but she went out, regardless. And

UNCLE C0RGITItD ~ AVIATION !:

AviatiOn's value In wartime is recognized by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and other Off
Gals high in Uncle Sans military administra-
tion now to such an extent that it is not strange
recent estimates have included a well-deYeloped
aviation corps for Hawaii
In an address upon aeronautics at ST Louis
recently, Secretary Daniels declared that ayia-
ton will not only tend to limit the duration and
scope Of hostile operations, but also aid in the
control Of the seas, an element contributing ma
teriaIly to any nations power and prosperity.
Secretary Daniels said !: 8 q
"The United States army has seventeen ma

Is at present no definite organization, and no
plan Of cooperation between the army and navy.
The latter possesses only four hydroplanes and
three flying boats, though It is proposed to buy
three more.
The war aeroplane and war airship today are
recognized and proven engines of war by the
leading nations of the earth In practice, our
recognition is little more than theoretical.
sLet me say that since it was Wilbur Wright
Who first gave aviation its impetus by actually
flying, It would be u handsome thing for the
American people, who are proposing all sorts 81

Honolnlu's need for Board of Censors

home to the fheaters going public Of Honolulu.
During the past week a company has been APP

Not the minor profane words which the come

laughs from dow -brows but the worse profan-

with criticism for minor attractions Of the rules

opinion that eanything goes" in Honolulu and IN
the production referred to there appeared to be

Among the yulgarities Of the show was the
singing OF q sBarbary Coast favorite. One of
the acts is alleged to represent q notorious re-
sort Of San Francisco's Barbary Coast but the
sole resemblance was in. the department Of mem.
bers of the company.
1t Was during the scene last referred to that
two Hebrew comedians made use of consider
able profanity, endeavoring to disguise their
language through the use of little tin horns
through which they blasphemed at each sother.
The intent OF the language was evident One of
the men addressed the other with an expression

"a fighting expression where redblooded men
congregate.

not rest entirely with the producers and actors
but should be shouldered, equally by the man

ADDING TO OUR ADVANTAGES

With so many pronounced advant-
ages in our favor, it is no wonder that
The people of the South are awakening
to the possibilities of removing the
very few objectionable features tina!
keep the Southland from being the
most favor ed residential section of the
country. One of these drawbacks is
malaria. The prevention of malaria IS
one of the vital undertakings that the
South must solve and will solve soon.
Of this matter the Atlanta Journal
in recent editorial says:
1t was stated by medical authorities
in public health conference recently
held at st. Louis, that by draining its
swamp lands and observing a few sim
pie precautions, the South could virtu-
ally Danish malaria from its borders.
Dr. w. A. Evans, of Chicago, who has
had abundant experience through cam
paigns against this maIady in Illinois
declared that extinction of the mos
quito. through which malaria is COM
municated. would add ten dollars ~
the value OF every acre of Southern
land and would more than double the
sections output of corn.
Remarkable as these sAtatement4
may appear. they are amply Verified
by records from other parts of the
country where a thoroughgoing system
of drainage has destroyed the breeding
places of the mosquito. In his inter
esting report on land reclamation ii
