BOYS STORIES BLAME WOMEN
AS CAUSE OF DOWNFALL

of man ever since the days of the
garden where the apples grew, and
she is still on the job, according to
the tale of two boys in the boys
court.
In the case of Achilles Desteumder
there were two women. One was his
sweetheart and the other his mother.
Achilles is II and last week he
drew $13.40 in his pay envelope, and
at the earnest solicitation of his girl
he took her out to RiVerview and
spent 81 on her in two hours. They
we're two hours of JOY, but the bub-
bles went of the joy when Achilles
began to think of the other woman
in the caSe-his mother.
By the time he reached home he
had arisen to the emergency. There
was a thrilling tale of a holdup near
the park with a gun and masks and
two highway men and the $13.40 and
a watch the toll, which permitted
Achilles to keep in his pocket $9.40.1
for future girl trips to RiVerview.
But alas for Achilles plans! His
brothers insisted that he go to the
police station and put sleuths on the
trail of the criminals, and Achilles |
got so tangled up trying to make his
story sound true that he directed sus-
picion against boy he knew who,
of course, was innocent, and the |
mother of the boy tainted when he |
was arrested, and the police got sus-
picious of Achilles, searched him and |
located the $40 and the watch.
Judge Dolan is holding Achilles I'M
til Monday, when he will have to |
make a public apology to the lad he
incriminated in his attempt to please
two women.
Worse still is the case of Harry
Peterson, II, who was arrested with
Martin May, Is, few hours after
they arrived here from Toledo.

Ferber's Opinion Sought.
Some ten or twelve years ago Wal
ter Wellman Of Chicago conceived
the idea Of flying to the North Pole
by means OF a dirigible balloon. This
was before Peary' iinal trip, and the
North Pole was the goal Of a venture
and scientific achievement. Neilman
had seen French dirigibles make
long flights, and he sought the opin-
ion Of the pioneers of flight as to
the feasibility Of his plan, and later
had his dirigible built here. Captain
Ferber was oneFof those whose opin-
ion was sought.
Captain Ferber. was then chief Of
the French aeronautic service with
headquarters at q military park near
Paris. Here he had erected & tall
steel mast from which hung 9 cable
attached to q miniature aeroplane.
No one had been able to make an
aeroplane rise in the air. but Captain
Ferber was experimenting constant

Thanks to the labors OF the French
mission, which. within recent years
las re-organized the army, and to the
splendid. example Of the soldier king
Constantine, and TO the magnificent
victories OF the campaigns of the Bal
kan war, the Greek troops find them
selves the equal OF any body OF fight
ing men in all the world. Martial
spirit yet remains among Greek men,
and the patriotic Greek regards him
self as of greatest value to the state
when he can present himself with
many stalwart sons for service in the
army. Among the lower classes--in-
deed in most walks OF life-the birth
OF man child is regarded as a SUI
preme favor, and large families are
the rule in the Hellas. Consul Cen
Eeral George Horton used to tell me
with great amusement of an evening
stroll which he took near the Acrop-
oils. when he was startled by q leg
of lamb which fllrtled through the
open window OF a cottage, dashed
against the wall of the house opposite
lii the narrow street, and dropped at
his feet. 1t was followed by volley
Iof angry words and as he listened he
heard the irate husband berate his
wife because she had given him no
sons which he might give to the army.

people, One unfortunate result OF the
extreme democracy among them, Is
their disinclination to. obey leader.
