Louis Bleriot, inventor of the Bleriot
 aeroplane and famous aviator, was born
 in France 42 years ago. He made his
 first experiments as a 'brdman" with
 bird. This was in 1901. He soon realized
 the limitations of his machine, however.
 and by 1904 he had abandoned it in favor
 of a monoplane. In 1906 he constructed
 and operated the first successful mono-
 plane. Three years later he became
 world-famous by flying over the English channel, the first time this feat was ever accomplished. Bleriot flew in a small, compact machine and made almost in- attempted to make the over-sea flight he was suffering from burn on his foot. Partly escorted by torpedo boat destroy CT. which he soon outdistanced, Bleriot got lost in fog and after having been blown some distance out of his course, he finally landed triumphantly at Dover Be- fore that time the monoplane had been viewed with dlstrust, but Blerlot's achievement made both himself and his machine famous. He was forced to en- large his works and established flying school at Rheims. He has since devoted himself to perfecting the monoplane. which is now sold in large numbers. Be- fore he attempted to solve the problem of flying Bleriot had won European rep utation as manufacturer of automobile lamps

Making War on Rodents

Some one has said that if a man living in wilderness invented and manufactured the best rat trap ever devised, people would tread a broad thoroughfare to his cabin door to get that trar." said C. $. Evers of Chicago, representing a general supply house of that city. We don. find that to be quite the case, for we clain. to have the very best rat trap ever put OH the market. It's fact that rat traps, like other articles of commerce, must be advertised if they are to be soii We have noted no impulsive rush on the part of the masses to acquire rat traps of our make, although in the language Of the market page the rat trap market is strong, with demand steady.
 There's a reason for this as there is for everything else in the world of trade" continued MT. Evers. "Of course. rat traps are a very small part of our busi- ness, but since the United States health service in its war on the bubonic plague at gulf ports has given widespread pub icity to the havoc wrought annually by rodents, the general public seems to have determined to wage war on the pest on it's own account.
 Satisfactorily inclined persons have fig ured out that the rat pest is responsible for a tremendous total of property losses and the scientists are agreed that the TO- dens are carriers of disease under all cir cumstances. It follows that everyone who invests in an effective trap is a public ben. efactor.
 At any rate, there's little Likelihood that tender-hearted folk will start move ment to save the rats"

Boli wecviI Advance

From the Mobile Register.
 The line of the boil weevi advance. as marked by State Entomologist Hinds of Auburn, very nearly bisects the state of Alabama, from Franklin on the west thence southeastwardly, passing east of Montgomery, to Houston the south. The advance over last year in the north ern portion of the state will average from 90 to 10G miles. Very little advance is noticed in the southern tier of counties. Judging by the tagging behind of the left wing of the weevll army, as compared with the advanced position of the right wing. there is prospect that the Tennes- see Valley will escape visitation for some seasons to come and possibly will escape altogether.

 Tom Moore and the Kalem players. including Marguerite Courtot and other popular stars, present "The Prodigal," finely acted two-reel drama. Gordon, a young society man receives his first setback when good girl repulses his insolent at tentions. The influence that she casts upon him and how she finally saves him from the hands of an adventures who is bent upon getting him in her power, is best told in the picture.
 Under the capable direction of Ralph lnce, "41S." by Donald I. Buch- anan, moves, swiftly through series of exciting incidents to highly eff fective conclusion. There is not only spirit of exciting movement in the drama, but there is also an under current of ethical purpose; it drives in tragic manner at the greed which actuates men when they disregard all obligations, including purely social ones to their fellow men. It is when men contrive and scheme to defeat the codes under which We are livins that they often begin descent into a riot of crime It is when men try to attain great wealth by taking un- fair advantage of those who are doing business in the open, that the essence of crime is attempted. "4f3" shows how destiny metes out justice to such guilty individuals even when the law is unable to reach them.
