G. M. B0DDY'S LIFE JACKET
It Is Said to Be Impossible to Drown
II Provided With This New
Invention.

Death in ocean disasters promises
to be robbed of much of it's likelihood
If life jacket invented by G. NJ Boldly
a British experimenter in life-saving
devices, proves its reputed merits.
With the Boldly vest the wearer can't
drown if he wishes. 1t is automatic
in every feature and, unlike the con-
ventional life belt, it doesn't hinder
the free movement of the body.
The Boldly jacket, says the New
York Press, is in the nature of a huge
breast pad, resembling somewhat the
chest protector worn by the baseball
umpire. 1t is freely inflated with a
fiber impervious to water, and despite
its thickness, is quickly attached 1t
occupies half the space of the life
belt now In use.
The disposition of the air pads in
the jacket gives the body a face-up-
ward position In the water. A cush-
ion on the back, just below the shoul.
ders. keeps the wearer's head above
sea, no matter how high the ocean is
running. While gigantic waves may
submerge the wearer for an instant,
the head bobs high out of the water
an instant later.
The buoyancy of the jacket permits
the wearer to remain afloat for three
or four days. The question of sus-
tanned life becomes one merely of
physical endurance against cold or
hunger.
The appalling loss of life in recent
marine disasters and the subsequent
Investigations by the British board of
trade have called attention to the
Boldly jacket and, moreover, have in

DOG MoURNs FOR HORSE
Bull Terrier Has to Be Blanketed to
Get Her Away From Remains OF
Lifeless Chum.

New York.-Overcome with grief at
the loss Of her best friend, Alice, a
bull terrier, lies in the stall at the
Bellevue hospital stable which until
recently was occupied by Baby, once
the fastest horse that pulled an ambu-
lance in the city. Baby died recently
and thereupon Alice took possession
of the stall, refusing to be consoled
and swapping at all intruders.
Baby, who was twenty-eight years
old, started at seven o'clock in the
morning for the morgue. On her ar
rival there Superintendent Armstrong
petted her, saying she looked as well
as ever. After the return trip the
horse walked to the stable, passed one
of the new automobile ambulances,
staggered, and fell. Alice saw her
companion drop, and running to the
body would not be moved. A blanket
| had to be thrown around her to get
| her away when men came to remove
the horse.
A veteran of several big fires, Baby
always resented the introduction of
motor ambulances, which caused her
to be transferred to the hearse.

FINDS CHILD AFTER 19 YEARS
James Keith, Missouri Farmer, Sees
His Daughter Mildred for the
First Time.

Carthage, Mo.-A search OF nearly
nineteen years ended at the Frisco
depot in Carthage when James Keith,
a farmer, residing near Carthage, for
the first time beheld his daughter,
Mildred, twenty years old, whom he
had been told had died in infancy.
Keith and his wife resided in Pop
lar Bluff, Mo. Six months after their
marriage about twenty-five years ago
they separated. The wife went to
her parents. Later the child was
born. He was told she had died In
infancy. At first he was inclined to
doubt the story, but later, when he
could find no trace of the mother and
the child, he gave up. Later he OBJ
tanned a divorce and came to Jasper
county. The child grew to woman
hood. When she was apprised of the
story of her parents early life she
sought to find her father. After years
of effort she wrote to the city clerk
at Poplar Bluff. He had heard that
Keith resided near Carthage and
learned that Keith was still in this
district. Miss Keith, now twenty
years old, is employed as nurse in a
hospital in Anna, Ill. When she and
her father had exchanged kilograms
she took the first train to Carthage.
She was reared by her grandparents.

SAYS SPEECH SHAPES FACE
That Different Languages Have Differ
ent Effects is the Contention
of Enelshman.

That English deforms the mouth was
the excessively odd accusation made
by Lord Ashbourne In speech to the
Gaelic league at Fermoy, and he de-
scribed Englishmen as having thin,
prominent lips, long front teeth and
the look Of a measly rabbit, says the
Boston Transcript. German, he said,
is strong and vigorous. English in a
state of decay. What makes his dia-
tribe specially amusing is the fact
that one of the German students who
some years ago made a walking tour
through England and competed for a
prize in describing what they saw, ad
vanced exactly the opposite theory.
He found that the trick of speaking
English like an Englishman is to ad-
vance the lower jaw a trifle. and he
ascribed to the German language the
fact, or what he took for the fact, that
more Germans than English have a
retreating chin. Apparently great
field is open for science in investigat
ing the relation between speech and
physiognomy, with due regard to the
post hoe and the propter hoe. Nor
should the effects (or the causes) of
taciturnity and loquacity be ignored
If some languages exercise mainly the
tongue and others mainly the jaws,
the results may not be negligible.

Stock ManinuIatIon Old.

That the idea of stock manipulation
as a quick road to riches is not of
modern origin is evidenced by the
fact that group Of Englishmen. near
ly all of them men of prominence and
good standing. were found guilty OF
conspiracy to commit a fraud by max
ing a false report on the death of Ma.
poleon for the purpose of raising the
price of the funds. At the head of
the conspiracy was Sir Thomas, com
monty called Lord Cochrane, who was
member of parliament Sir Thomas
was expelled from the house of com.
mons and also expelled from the Or.
der of the Bath. Several Of his asso-
ciates in the conspiracy were fined OF

II is folly to try to estimate the cost of war.
Economists undertook to show at the outbreak
OF the European cataclysm that 1t would entail

such figuring does not even get down to the
right basis War, remember-as is constantly
being said-pucks the fairest flowers from the

manhood and mortgages future generations
Even after we get the full force OF this we can
not begin to estimate the cost OF war, although
we can get better suggestion of 1t than by
computing on a money basis.

The Citv and the Auditorium.

The Bee still believes that the best solution
OF the Auditorium problem. as 1t now presents
ITSELF would be for the city to lease the building
for term of two or three years at a rental
equal 10 interest on the debt and taxes. with an
option to purchase at the price already fixed.
This would insure the maintenance OF the Au-
dtorium a public convention hall until the
city decides upon the plan 1t desires to pursue,
and Il would be cheaper In the long run by the
difference in interest on the amount that would
be needed to build an adequate new structure
for this purpose We do not know whether
this plan would appeal to the owners OF the
equity in the Auditorium or to the holder OF
the option for its purchase, but we believe that
with an aroused public sentiment in favor OF
saving the Auditorium for public use, some such
plan could be worked out and put through.
