AT0RNEY GENERAL MOOSE
 ATTENDING CONVENTION

Little Rock, Dec. 29.-Attorney gen eral w. L. Moose has gone to Des Mones, to meet with other members of committee appointed at the re- cent convention of Attorney generals in Washington to draft uniform Blue Sky law. The Arkansas statute which took good features from those of Kansas, Iowa, and other states, has successfully withstood all tests of the courts up to the present time. It is probable that the Legislature will be asked to amend it in accordance with the suggestions that may be made by the Des Moines conference. in order that it may be strengthened and made even more effective.

A mans deeds, according to the Youths Companion" good or evil, usually return to curse or bless him. The connection, however, is seldom so obvious as with the farmer who is held up as an example in the follow ing:
 The farmer sold butter to the vil- lage storekeeper and took sugar in exchange. It seemed tp the farmer after while that the Sugar he was getting was short weight. According ly, he made complaining
 Look here, MT. JonessS. he said, "it seems to me you're giving me short weight sugar."

Capital Schools Benefit
By the European War

A further boom to Washington as an
educational center is impending as
result Of the war in Europe. Young
men and women from the foremost
families Of the country, who have been
accustomed to journeying to Europe for
the finishing touches. are matr!culatinS
with local institutions. and, judging
from the inquiries received the number
will greatly increase within the next
few months.
This influx has more than counter
balanced the falling off in the attend
ancc Of young women from the South,
attributable to the uncertainty as to the
profita BILE disposal of the cotton crop.

j. s, CAN SUPPLY
HORSES FOR ARMIES
Thousands of Animals Available
for Export Before Scarcity
Will Be Felt.

Undoubtedly the United States can
continue to supply the warning nations
Of Europe with thousands of horses and
mules without causing the shoe to pinch.
Officials of the Department Of Agricul-
ture agreed to this today, but refused to
hazard an estimate as to just how many
of the animals this country can spare
without feeling a bad effect at home
from the expectations.
George NJ. Rommell, chief of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, of the De-
partment of Agriculture, explained that
the last animal census taken showed
that there were 100000 horses and
10000 mules in the United States.
The census showed an increase Of s
per cent in the horses and mules of
the country between 1900 and 1910. End
there has been a steady increase since
1910, Mr.. Rommell declared. The decade
between the last census and the one
which preceded it also shows. Mr.. ROM
nell explained. a decrease in the coun-
try'S cattle of per cent, showing that
the pasture lands which had been for
merly used in the raising of cattle had
been turned into agricultural lands. on
which more horses were needed.
Officials of the Department Of ASri-
culture are watching with interest the
purchase Of horses by the agents Of
European governments in St Louis and
other large horse and mule marts.
They explain that French and Eng
lish agents are buying thousands of
animals, realizing the need OF horses
for cavalry and draft purposes as the
war continues.
MANY horse dealers have written the
department to inquire whether or no
the expectation of the animals for war
purposes will continue to remain within
the scope of neutrality. 1t seems to be
the impression in some quarters that
despite the fact that horses and mules
are considered conditional contraband'
and are liable to capture In transit.
that the German government. which
has very little chance of importing
them and not much chance at the
present time of capturing the animals
in transit may sooner or later cause
some difficulty by adjudging the ami
mails contraband in the strictest sense
Of the word.

PRICE OUT
OF HIS HEAVEN

"Marse Henry" Waterson, at
the White House yesterday,
told how a former Secretary
of War from New Jersey had
squelched a newspaperman
named Price, who had a habit
of monopolizing conversation
on every possible occasion.
This maybe newspaperman
and the Secretary of War
were at a dinner one night
when the former suggested
that the diners, about a dozen,
gave their idea of heaven"
related "Marse Henry"
"The Secretary of War was the
last to respond. MY idea of
heaven he asserted with a
lot of feeling, would be a
dinner like this every night
without money and without
Price.
1t was explained by "Marse
Henry" lest he be misunder-
stood, that the particular
Price was an Englishman,
who labored here in the long
ago.

DIVES 1000 FEET IN
B|PLANE OVER CITY
Aviator Thompson Gives Thrills
to Army Officers in Proving
Control of Machine.
ADMIRAL Won TIRPITZ,

Washington was given another aero
plane thriller yesterday afternoon
when D. Lloyd Thompson. holder Of
the quick aero climbing record. gave
an exhibition over the polo grounds in
dives, loop-the-loops. fiip-faps, and
other aerial tumbles.
Mr.. Thompson made two flights yes
terday, and thousands of persons were
attracted to Potomac park to see him.
His exhibition was remarkable. He at
tempted to demonstrate to army officers
and Government officials the high de-
gree of control that had been reached
in aeroplane flying. Aviator Thomp-
son demonstrated, ii seemed. that he
could deliberately lose control of his
machine, let il dive almost to earth
and then right it before it struck the
ground.
The most thrilling of his feats was a
dive to earth from a height of perhaps
a thousand feet. At this elevation ne
twice pointed the nose of his machine
downward, and dropped like a plum
met. The machine came down SO last
and so close that it id not seem pos
sible that il could ever be righted, but
when q hundred feet from the earth
each time il turned gracefully right
side up and landed lightly on the polo
field.
Aviator Thompson's coming was un-
hcralded. His machine, a b!plane OF
the Day Tractor type, with seven
cylinder engine made by Washington
concern, was hauled to the polo field IN
packing cases yesterday morning, and
there assembled.
Shortly after o'clock Thompson went
I'D for the first flight. 1t was a short
one. in which he assembled about thou
sand feet, and did sidewise drop ana
two dives He could be seen from every
point in the city, and this first flight
served To attract thousands to the polo
field. who witnessed the second ascent
at o'clock.
The machine was piloted to a great
height in a spiral ascent that carried
the aviator almost straight upward.
The fancy stunts followed. and the
flight was ended with a straight dive.
