That so great and conservative a

ise Of his backing to the doctrines and
tenets OF Celestia aroused extraordi-
nary interest all over the country, and
even in England and on the CONT
nent.
Celestia was showered with invita-
tions. most Of which she declined. But
she did not decline them all. 1t was
her duty, she felt, to convert to her
cause, al sorts and conditions Of men
and women. the man who had been
born with a golden spoon in bis mouth
and the man who had been raised
with a revolver in his hip-pocket.
She was asked to speak IN the ball.
room OF a great house overlooking
Central Park. The invitation to do SO
was instigated by Mary Blackstone.
but Celestia did not know this, and
the name signed to the note Of invi-
tation was one which tempted her to
accept. II was a name which above
al others stood. in the opinion OF the
man Ia the street, for all that IS rich
est and most foolish.
TO this function, Tommy was among
those invited (all part Of Mary Black
stones plan), but. though he yearned
TO be wherever celestia was, in spite
OF their latest quarrel. he was too
busy tramping the streets Of New
York ia search OF a job to accept
Mary had hoped that among those TO

her genuine good looks and magnetic
voice would appear Insignificant II

We will greatly appreciate an item in

Baltimore School for the Blind and for
a time paid for out of a special fund
which has now given out. Therefore.
our Society must raise her tuition or

young to go into the State School.

and we know the value of space in the

this child's tuition, that is, if you are
not overcrowded with petitions for diff

LESS THAN zoo TO SERVE
Sensational Filler at Exposition Discus
ses Aerial Warfare

There are less than two hundred
aviators in this country who would be
of any value 20 the Army or Navy in
case the United States should become
involved in war. There are even fewer
aeroplanes."
Art Smith. the sensational fiier of
the Panama Pacific Exposition. ex-
pressed his opinion yesterday in dis
cusing the aviation arm Of the coun-
try's service in connection with the
question Of national defense. which
President Wilson is to take up when
he returns 10 Washington.
There are not more than one hun
dred aviators outside OF the Army and
Navy who would really be of service
under present conditions" said Smith
in an interview with the United Press.
THE question OF machines would be
worse for time than of men. The
exhibition machines now in use in vad
ious parts of the country would never
serve for military purposes. We would
simply have to wait until eht aero
plane factories turned out some aero
planes that could be used, and then.
they would not be up TO those at the
disposal OF the armier of the Euro
pean countries.
Smith maintained that lack of gov
ernment support was the cause of the
country's falling so far behind other
nations in aviation. what is needed
is new interest by the government,
greater appropriations and constant
experimentation" he said More meE
should bedrilled as fliers for the ma
chimes that are produced
There were at least $500 expert
cnced aviatCrs inFrance when the war
broke out" said Smith Hundreds
were civilians, but they could take
their place with the ayiators of the
army in immediate service.
Should the UnitedStates become in-
volved with a power similarly equip
ped with men and machines. our weak
little force would be massacred. The
eyes of our army would be gone. The
enemy aviators could sec everything
that went on i'm our lines and we
could see nothing"
Smith also pointed that the ayiators
of this country were far behind in
making sustained flights necessary in
military work European aviators
have flown hours, where Americans
have flown minutes.

to the article below, which wac written
by Walt Mason, the poet philosopher,
that evCly business man will forgive
and applaud. The following is not
overdrawn but has the naked truth in
every sentence:
The business man is tired, with
tears his eyes are dim; the set he's
long desired is still side stepping him
His WEAKNESS has grown to be public
wheeze. Grief marks him for its own
and will not give him ease. For ali
hat passers beg chance to run him
down, and deity pull his leg for ko-
peck, yen and crown. Is there Il
scheme on deck to paint the railway
tracks? The merchants shapely neck
is first to feel the axe. Is there Il
kindly plan to send the poor some
ducks? The weary business man must
cough up seven bucks. Is there Il prof.
Get big to gild the village pump? The
business man must dig his savings in
lump. For every cheerful fake de-
vised by Jdci; or Jill, the business man
must take some roubles from his till.
The hobocs in the jail must have a
Christmas tree; oh, merchant, hand
the kalc-be generous and freel a
widow needs Il pup, to keep the
tramps away; oh, merchant, loosen
up. be liberal today! A good electric
fan the county poor house needs; oh,
sad-eyed business man, shell out IA
dozen seeds! The business man must
fall for every such demand, his back
against he wall, his checkbooll in his

Some TazewclI people may not have
great gardens to "brag about" but
some we know have magnificent weed
lots. Take the one for instance, in
the rear of the grocery stores in this
town and several others that could be
named. The weeds are high and thicl,
and besides being unsightly will fur
nish enough seed to infect the entire
town. Why not cut them? A law,
mower would improve the appearance
of the High School lawn. 1t looks
ragged and neglected and right on the
