IL Didn't Matter.

When Fred Kelly made a start in
journalism he was put on reporting
One night he was sent to big fire
down town. 4 reporter named

FLYERS CAUSE FEAR
AViators From Continent FLY in
Darkness Over England.
British Government Is Providing tSky
Guns" ID Repel These Aerial
Trespassers Who Appear
During Night.

London.-A popular pastime nova
days with continental aviators would
seem TO be flying trips by night over
England Daring air pilots in Ger
many or France leave their moorings
at dusk, speed over the channel, and
then circle over British cities and
forts, flashing their lights to mystify
and alarm the people below them.
With the first indications Of dawn the
adventure comes to an end. The
proving birdman heads for home,
houses his machine before the sun is
well up, and leaves the officials of
England to report his incursion to the
war Office in London
Reports of these night visits became
so general, and were at the same time
so disconcerting, that the government
finally took official action and passed
bill prohibiting the passage of air
craft over certain specified areas. Air
craft violating this regulation will be
fired on and otherwise warned away.
The bill was introduced into the
house of commons by Colonel Seeley,
secretary Of war, and it passed
through all its stages at one sitting,
without discussion It went to the
lords the day before recess and passed
that house just as hurriedly.
How the measure is to be enforced
has aroused considerable interested
speculation. The bill authorizes the
proper officers, after giving a pre-
scribed warning, to fire at any air
craft infringing this law, and to use
any and every means to prevent in
fractions
The government is providing SKY
guns" to repel these aerial trespass-
ers, and it will also have the services
OF the naval aeroplanes and hydro
planes and the flying fleet of the
army, which consists of about dozen
aeroplanes and three small airships.
Experts have very grave doubts
whether these precautions will be suf-
hcient to prevent the midnight visits.
What gave rise to the action of the
government were reliable reports, in
some cases from army officers, that
aircraft had been seen over Dover,
Sheerness, Portsmouth and Liverpool,

A Sure T est.

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon at
Savannah the colonel of Pennsyl-
vania regiment, who had partaken lib
orally of the corn product, was warn
ing a young lieutenant against the
evils of intemperance.
Never drink too much, my son. A
gentleman stops when he has enough.
To be drunk is a disgrace"
How can I tell when have enough
or am drunk" asked the lieutenant.
The colonel pointed his finger: do
you shee those two men sitting in the
corner? II you should shee four men
there you would be drunk"
The lieutenant looked long and
earnestly. Yves, colonel, but--but
there Is only one man in that corner"

Alexandra and Mary Disagree Over
Wife for Prince of Waies-Ban
on German Princess.

London.-The engagement OF the
kaiser's only daughter, Princess Vic
toria Louise, to the son Of the duke
of Cumberland came as great relief
to Queen Mary, who has always dread
ed that marriage should be ar
ranged for political reasons between
the princess and the prince of Wales.
Typically English as the queen is,
she would prefer her oldest son to
marry an English girl if there were
one of equal rank to be found within
this country, but as this is not the
case, she knows, of course, that the
prince of Wales will eventually have
to marry some foreign princess.
She has become quite resigned to
on German princesses, and hopes that
the future king Of England win even
tually marry one of the cars young
daughters. On this point, however,
she meets with strong opposition
from Queen Alexandra, who maintains
that it would be fatal to the best In

cally as well as mentally, and both

Alexandra also fears that her young
Russian grandnieces may have inner
tied a strain of the melancholy Of
their beautiful and lovely mother.
AS the young prince of Wales is
of a very shy and rather effeminate
disposition, Queen Alexandra main
tains that the proper wife for him
must be a strong, vivacious and spir-
tied princess, and her favorite candf-

URGES WORK FOR WOMAN

Kansas City, Mo.-"Girls and young

Rabbi Henry H. Mayer of B'Nai Je-

Independence Of Women"
THE cessation Of woman's being an

shrunk SO that her status is only one
degree better than that of the wo-

"Women's entry into definite vo-

independent women who know some
