HABIT SAVES MANS LIFE.
When He Heard Fright" Would Bio
Suicide Changed Aim.

Los Angeles, Cal = Habit saved
George Lee, forty-five, recently when
he plotted against his life. He placed
the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth
put his mind in order for the end and
was pulling the trigger when he heard
some one call ''Right!'
1t was a word used more frequently
than any other in his work in a down
town grocery. There Lee was accus-
toned to carry packages across long
room. Several persons were similarly
occupied, and when they would meet,
going in opposite directions, the one
with load on his shoulder would al
ways cry "Rightr' The right hand of
the other would go up in signal that he
would observe the rules of the meets
ing, for the contents of the boxes were
fragile and any interference might
cause a loss that would be deducted
from their wages.
While his finger was drawing at the
trigger, from outside came the clear
call "Rightp' voiced by chance in the
conversation of passersby.
From habit Lees right hand started
to lift in signal, the finger released the
trigger, and the shell exploded, but the
minor twitch that had come when he
heard the word of warning switched
the aim so that the bullet left harm
less wound in his cheek. Persons who
heard the shot rushed to the room and
where his wound was dressed and his
spirits revived by the promise that
job would be given him.

COUNT ZEPPELIN, INVENTOR OF THE GER
MAN DIRIGIBLE.
sharp tail. The vessel is heavily arm
ed. Three tanks for carrying poison
Gus gas bombs are slung beneath the
gondola or navigating chamber and
are fitted with a newly invented bomb
dropping apparatus.
"The new airship has a smaller crew
than the ordinary Zeppelin, but her
speed is reported to be much greater.
Among the crew are men able to make
a fresh supply Of poisonous gas bombs
during a voyage.
"It is reported that ten airships of
the new type are already built. Sew
eral more are stated to be in course
of construction for the purpose OF
taking part in proposed aerial inva-
sion of England"
An aerOplane destroyer" designed
for attacking dirigible airships, has
been perfected in Italian government
workshops in the last few months. 1t
is an enormous machine with three
separate cuSluoS anu Will d Ioldl CA-
ergy of more than $50 horsepower.
It consists, in fact, of the bodies of
two ordinary tractor biplanes placed
side by side and far enough apart so
that there is room between them for
the propeller of third engine. Each
of the two main bodies has it's own
engine and tractor screw in front, so
that it looks at first like two ordinary
tractor biplanes flying hand in hand.
On the section of wing which joins
the two bodies is placed the body work
of an ordinary pusher biplane, with
the engine and propeller behind. In
this way the body projects we'll for
ward in front of the screws OF the
other two engines, so that it can carry
a gun of considerable size and have a
clear field of fire forward, backward
and on both sides, without danger OF
hitting it's own screws or wings.
The machine is capable of lifting a
huge cargo of bombs large enough to
be certain to destroy Zeppelin If
they hit it, and even capable OF doing
serious damage to battleship.

VILLAGES IN EUROPE
ARE RUN BY WOMEN
Weaker Sex, Forced by Neces-
sity, Takes Up Odd CalIings.

London.-Owing to the war women
are taking up many odd callings' to
make up for the shortage Of men, but
in the country women have always
done whatever lies nearest to their
hand.
In the village the butcher, the baker,
the candlestick maker, may all be wo-
men, and there is at least one small
town in Devon in which women form
the chief business element. The prin-
cipa1 hotel is run by woman and her
daughter; woman deftly cuts the
joints and orders her son about.
A bakeress bakes the incest bread,
and her daughter trudges far into the
country with two baskets slung on her
back, a picturesque figure Of the fe-
male worker. The wine merchant is a
woman who worked up a nice little
business, while a chemists shop is
owned by woman, to say nothing Of
the trades which are to be found every
where, sweetstuff shops. fancy shops
and the like.
France, being country where uni
versal service is the rule, is nowadays
depending largely on the work of wo-
men, but even in the times of peace
there were places where they were the
chief citizens. At Froissy, in the de-
partment of Disc, most of the public
appointments are held by women and
will be until their present holders die.
There is a pOstmistress instead of
postmaster; the telegraph department
is run by woman: station mistress
directs the porters at the local station;
a lady barber cuts the hair of the COM
munity, and the town crier also tacks
"ess' ON to the name Of her calling.
In most cases these posts were held
by husbands or brothers, and the vii
layers considered their female relatives
were their legitimate successors. This
is also partly the case in the English
town mentioned, although in some
cases daughters have succeeded moth
ers to the general satisfaction.
Another French community is also
directed by women, not by chance, but
by custom and necessity. This is the
rocky island of Ushant, dreaded by
sailors, which breeds a hardy race Of
seamen engaged either in the French
navy or mercantile marine or I'm fish
ing, the work on land being done by
women.
In Russia a community of seven vii
lagos with long names is entirely ruled
by women. Each village possesses
mayoress, and the offices of magistrate
and policeman and postmaster-in fact,
every administrative post-are also fill
ed by the gentler sex. Some fifty years
ago a bad epidemic occurred, and the
men made such a muddle of affairs and
behaved so badly that the women took
over the government to save them
selves from starvation. So successful
weres they that they have continued to
direct affairs ever since.

LIVING COST LAID TO WOMEN,
Durand, ExCensus Director, Says
Homes lack Efficiency.

St. Paul.-Dr. E. Dana Durand, for
merly director Of the United States
census bureau and now in the depart
ment Of economics Of the University of
Minnesota, placed the chief blame for
the high cost of living on the consum-
ers. And those, he said, were prima-
rily the women.
'If the home continues to be reac-
tionary and spurns efficiency no amount
Of law or theory will alter conditions" :"
he said. "Even if the women began
changing their ways now solution Of
the problem will take about fifty years.
for complete revolution In the moral
character Of the public is necessary to
effectually reduce the cost Of living"
