AMELIA PEOPLE HEAR
THE HON. SAM SMALL

Amelia, Va, Sept 9.-A large audi
ence heard Hon. Sam Small the noted
Georgia preacher, in the Methodist
church here last night. although only
days notice had heen given.
MIR Small showed that there was
no defense being made by the liquor
forces, except in the distribution of
printed matter. most of which had
been exposed and proved unrelia BILE.
He said he would give $40 to any man
who could bring a reputable cham
pion of the liquor cause to argue the
question with him at any time OF
place; showed that the prohibitive to-
bacco scare had been trodden out Of
existence like tobacco worm under
the heel, and the tobacco planter were
perfectly satisfied TO vote dry.
He clearly demonstrated that pro-
hibition did prohibit. notwithstanding
the spasms of the LIQUOR people and
liquor press. He proved it by the
people of Maine, who had begun it
fifty eight years ago and stuck to it
today through all these fifty-eight
years, when they could easily have re-
pealed the law but for the fact they
benefited and stood first among the
States for thrift and ownership of
their homes
Kansas stood second in the ranks
having passed the prohibition law
thirty-two years ago and none are
willing that she should go back to
liquor. Georgia had tried prohibition
seven years and could by no means be
induced to give II up
North Carolina likewise was happy
in the betterInent az her conditions
from every standpoint. and West Vir-
ginia, though young in the cause. was
elated at the benefits.
Many other States like Virginia
would adopt Statewide prohibition this
fall. as the people were thoroughly
aroused and determined to put down
the curse of liquor forever.
AS to increase of taxes, Mr.. Small
showed that instead of being increased
in prohibition States, the taxes were
reduced. and that only last week In
the State of Georgia the tax rate had
been reduced ten per cent.
The logic of the address was forcible
and the dry people were better pre-
pared to meet the foe and win the
fight.

Cunning Birds.

The cunning of rocks, crows and
magpies is marked at nesting time,
and the keeper who would shoot
them by hiding within shot of their
nests may wait for hours in vain if
the birds have seen him approach,
as they seldom fail to do. The
birds will watch from the top of a
tall tree until they see the enemy go
away, when they will return to the
nest in full confidence.
But they may be tricked easily.
Let two men with a gun 60 to-
gether to stand beneath a rocks
nest. Away 60 the nesting birds.
Then let one man take his depar-
ture, while the other waits in hid
ing. The birds will return prompt
ly, as if they thought that both
men had gone.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

NO "H0LEs" IN THE AIR.
Such a Condition Is Wholly Impossible
In the Atmosphere.

In the Atmosphere.
The phrase "hoIes in the air"
came with the advent of the great
science of aviation. But the coin
ing of this term has been unfortu-
nate. 1t is totally impossible for
''hole" to exist in free air. .
The only hole in air known is
the highly vacuous space within a
Crookes vacuum tube or bulb or
similar glass bulbs, such as those in
closing carbon and tungsten fila
ments in electric incandescent
lamps. And the height of human
skill has been exerted to secure
these vacuums, which is "hole"
surrounded by walls of glass.
What has been named "hoie" is a
place where the air and the airship
are both moving in the same direc-
ton at the same speed. But an
aeroplane must move to acquire any
lifting or sustaining power what
ever-that is, move through the air,
not with it. If wind blows against
the lower surfaces of the planes the
lifting force per square foot de-
ponds on the velocity of the air. If
air is at rest, then lifting force
against gravitation depends on the
speed of the airship. Put if air and
ship are both moving in the same
direction with identical speed, then
the ship must fall.
Early fiers in ships heavier than
air naturally thought that they hat
fallen into a hole or a well. But
there is just as much air under the
planes as elsewhere.
In the central vortex of whirl-
wind where rotation around a YER
teal axis is rapid the air is partially
thrown out by centrifugal tendency,
but there remains plenty of air.
To remove all air from an in
closure has never been attained by
the most accurate air pumps; there
still remain few milonths of the
original quantity. - Edgar Lucien
Larkin in New York American.

The saleswoman at the ready to
wear millinery counter said some
thing must be done. Nine out of
ten women who wished to try on
hats could not tell without bother
ing her which was the front or the
side or the back of a hat, and she
didn't have time to answer all their
questions.
The manager said he would see to
it. He did. He put up a sign which
enabled ladies to get their own hats
on straight and saved the saleswo.
man from nervous prostration and
an increase in salary. 1t said:
