THE wRlGurs AND FIXING,

One thing about the Wrights and their interest
in the aviation business that recommends itself
IN the s:sfe and sane American public is the fact
that they always give their best eadearors TO
building up the aevoplane so that it may be used
for commercial purposes a notable fact about
their work is that every development of their
machine has been in the line Of greater safety
Before the death ot the elder Wright it was
often stated Of tbe brothers that they intended 10
take steps TO discourage daredevil flyers, II is
fact that the men in their employ usually are
given altogether to safety and very seldom to
the spectacular side Of the flying game.
Constructive rainds such rs those of really
great inventors sec little in attempts TO make Of
their works mere pIaythings for the circus and
exposition whatever man puts into work
be expects to get back in real contributions to
humanity.
Tho general public IS getting out Of sympathy
with the aerial exploits of looping the loop,
climbing the greasy pole and similar perfor-
mances that should be roiesated to the school
lov initiation. If indeed there is any place for
them there

Medical Profession Against liquor.

At the big meeting in behalf OF licensed sale
Of LIQUOR held in Richmond some time ago, DR.
Stuart McGuire spoke against prohibition and
maintained that there is harm in drinking
moderately; on the contrary that it is a good
thing
In opposition to this temperance advocates
are quoting by the score famous doctors who
have a worldwide reputation and who MAINTAIN
that there is no good but positive harm derived
from the use of intoxicants~ To cap the climax
they are enabled to quote DR.. McGuire's dis
tfngufshed father. DIR. Hunter Mcclure, Stone
wall ,Jackson's chief surgeon, who used these
words: II am OF the opinion that If all intox-
icating liquors poured into the sea, II
would he better for mankind"
There is no hint In this that Dr. Hunter NC
Cure thought it a good thing TO use IN
toxicants however moderately they might be
used If he had any idea that liquor is niedi-
cinal necessity he gave indication OF 1t in
this utterance.
As a matter Of fact the medical profession as
a whole has gotten away from the use OF In
toxicants for medicinal purposes and the nedi-
cal journals are fun Of advice against intoxi-
cants
Or. Mcclure is In fact one of the few promi-
nent men who have given the liquor interests
any ground 10 stand on, most opponents OF pro-
hibition putting their opposition on the ground
Of personal freedom and Inot on arguments raw
orable to the use Of liquor. which they adpit
as rule Is a dangerous practice. This IS char.
acteristic of the fight the liquor interests usually
make They dare not defend the use OF liquor
but attempt 10 arouse the fears of people lest
their liberties in other directions may be cur
tailed People should always suspect that
cause is weak whom It's advocates dare not come
out in the open and fight. but fight behind

Mr., Gibson says that after being
out Of the automobile business for
nearly three years. I had come to the
conclusion that 1t would be as SEN

After six months OF careful study,
/ discovered that the Lewis light six
was about two years In advance of
any car on the market In point OF
design, appearance. economy and up
keep; therefore. l decided to again
become associated with William
Mitchell Lewis, the we'll known auto
mobile manufacturer maker of the
Lewis six-passenger six. selling for

THE Lewis six Is the first car built
in Its entirety in America from de-
signs by NJ, Fetard, the celebrated
French engineer. I believe that the
Lewis six is without question the
marvel OF the times presenting as 1t
does such complete simplicity OF de-
sign: at least one thousand fewer
parts than any car in its class; light
weight, $3.50 pounds; six-passenger
capacity; forty-eight horsepower and
gas consumption of at least, six
teen miles to the gallon. Ali these
points as combined in the Lewis six

HE WOULD NUMBER EVERY BASE
BALL PLAYER so WOULD BE

ING TO OFFICIAL
STARS BE RECOGNIZED

George M. Dickson has a baseball
scheme that Is being seriously consid-
cred by several managers. Dickson
believes that the public would enjoy
seeing the games and the various
players parts played in the games
II IL system of numbering every play
er was used. He suggests that every
player have number that Is given
to him at the start OF The season.
For example, If In the entire league
there are $50 different players. every
player could have his own number
from one to 16o. Opposite the names
Of the players in the score program
would be printed the same number
that the player on the diamond wears
on his arm.
The advantages Of this scheme,
Dickson thinks. are many. He said
fan often reads Of certain famous
player being bought or traded from
another team. The far, knowing this
players humber would easily and in
stantly spot him the minute he came
upon the diamond Dickson also says
that often the program says that
BROWN bite ssaA-Dse
are the pitchers.
Who L. Pitcher7
There are q lot OF fans. according
to Dickson. who can't tell which one
is really pitching. but by the number
system everybody would know without
delay and annoyance. Dickson also
says that, according to the baseball
managers. 1t is the star player who Is
the drawing card Dickson believes
that IL the number system were used
the spectators would know who was
on the bench as we'll as on the field,
and thus know whether any stars
were not In the game and exactly a.
what time such stars might be pressed
into service.
Il believe that ball players. the
ga me as motor cars in a race, should
have their own numbers" says Dick

TRANSFER
IN REAL ESTATE

In this issue will be noted an un-
usual real estate transfer. WILDER M.
Cowles and wife, Isadore l.. Cowles
decided the southeast quarter of the
southeast quarter of section 8, town
ship II north, range east, containing
40 acres, to Fred A. Nehs and wife
who in turn decided the land back to
Wilbur M. Cowles and Isadore l..
Cowles, husband and wife) as joint
tenants and right of survivorship.
Ordinarily real estate is in the name
of the husband, and bis wife has
certain interest in the property in the
case of death or divorce. BY deciding
land as Mr.. and Mrs. Cowles have
done, to other persons and back again
they now each have rights that pass
to the other absolutely at the time Of
the death of either. They so own the
property that the survivor comes into
possession without process Of law and
without eny danger of relatives at
tempting to secure portion of the es-
tate. This would be wise provision
in mary cases. Relatives sometimes
make trouble and this may be avoided
as Mr.. and Mrs. Cowles have done.
When such Transfers are made the
husband and wife need never fear that
legal entanglements will follow. Bank
deposits by brothers. sisters or other
members of the sane family are some
times arranged in similar way. SO
that when one dies the deposit goes
to the other without probating the
estate. This is wise provision and
relieves one Of much anxiety.
