Ono Offender Would Give Americans

London. Special: Col. Robert M.

motoring and shooting in Scotland. He
sailed for the United States yesterday.
Colonel Thompson, who is himself
one Of the most persistent trans
Atlantic travellers, gave your corre-

subject of the amount Of money spent
by Americans in Europe.

the European hotel and restaurant

Ing it, but we ought to realize that
this enormous amount Of capital is
taken from US. probably never to re-
turn.
Imagine what that amount devoted
to the expansion of Industries and to
gathering the crops would have done
at home. My theory is that we ought
to put a tax on transatlantic pleasure
seekers.
The first trip ought to be free; that

put a tax of 81 on the next trip, the
amount of the impost rising for each
subsequent voyage? Business men, Of
course, would be exempt.
1T seems to me his would be some
Involvement to Americans to spend
their money in their own country and

centage Of the money spent abroad. I

extract:
"The photographer rolled a machine

crawled into it from behind.
He was only in it. a second-just

then he was out again, tearing at the

Pegoud, tho Machine.

From the Kansas City Star.
Think of the nerve of this Frenchman,
Pegoud.
He mounts more h a half a mile into
the air in his monoplane. Then he drives
head down. Instead Of Fighting himself
he sweeps into a curve that brings his
machine upside down. Another drop and
another curve right the plane.
Imagine the self possession, the abso-
lutte mechanical control Of nerve and mus
Gle, required t-o-accompish such a feat.
slightest Swavering might have up-
set the machine n sent 1t plunging
earthward to destruction.
There was no chance to get accustomed
to the strange position with precautions
for safety. Pegoud had to assume that
he would be just as calm, just as self
possessed, driving his monoplane at that
dizzy height upside down, as he would be
In an ordinary flight. He had to have abb
solute confidence N big Immunity from the
conditions even the disturbance OF wrist
and arm arising from an accelerated heart
beat might prove fatal.

10 the farmer the meadowlark is
OF incalculable value. Not only be-
cause OF the large number of harm
ful insects and weed seeds that it eats,
but because it has no bad habits.
It's food consists mostly of insects,
and is one of few birds that will eat
the hairy caterpillar; and does not
stop at bugs with a d-isagreeable odor.
AT the time of the year when insect
life Is scarce, the meadowlark turns to
seeds Of various kinds fol its food, de-
stroying large quantities of weed seeds.
When other food Is scarce, it will
pick up the grain which has been
scattered during harvesting, but will
not touch the grain under ordinary cir
cumstances.
Farmers everywhere should use their
influence to have laws passed that will
protect them and also should post mo-
tees against hunting.
