DIR1GIBLE BALLOONS

The fist dfrigible balloon to make flight and return to the exact point of starting was La France a French military balloon invented and piloted by Capt. Renard and Capt. Krebs, which made it's epochal trip thirty one years ago today, Aug. g, 1884. On the trial trip the afrship covered two and a half miles, answering the helm perfectly, and was then turned about and returned to the exact spot from which the craft had departed. Many attempts at constructing a dirigible balloon had previously been made, but the balloon of Renard and Krebs was the first to accomplish the feat of making a round trip. The success of the new aircraft, which had been built by the French war department aroused great alarm in Germany, and was responsible for the great atten- tion paid by Teuton inventors to the development of airships, a movement which culmfnated in the Zeppe1fns. 27 feet across, and the propellor was was great improvement on previous motors. The first trips was made at a speed of ten miles an hour, but later this was developed to fourteen miles. The French people were jubi1ant at the success of the first successful diri- gible, and it was predicted that air craft of this type would give France tremendous advantage in case of war. Recent events have demonstrat- ed however, that these hopes were baseless, as the vastly improved diri- gibles of the present have played no important part in warfare.

ToDAY's POEM
OLD POETS.

SThe p1easantest sort of poet Is the poet who's old and wise, With an old white beard and wrinkles About his kind old eyes. For these young fIippertigibbets A-rhyrning their hours away, They won't be still like honest men And listen to what you say. The young poet screams forever About his sex and his soul; But the old man listens, and smokes
 his pipe,
 And poIishes it's bowl. There is no peace to be taken With poets who are young, For they worry about the wars to be
 fought
 And the songs that must be sung. But the old man knows that he's In
 his chair, And that Gods on, His throne ta
 the sky So he sits by the fire in comfort And lets the world spin by. From Trees and Other PoemG,H
 by Joyce Kilmer.

THE MOTIVE FOR
 JOINING THE MILITIA

The present feeling favorable to a greater military preparedness is bringing the public to realize the weakness of the National Guard or ganizations in Eaeay states. The mo- five for joining the militia appears Of ten not to be patriotism, but for a pleasant outing at the annual eneamp- nents or for social life.
 Tn many places the militia organiza- ion is viewed unfavorably by business nen, since it requires their employees
 o take a week or two out for camp.
 The United States may pay very nigh some day for the narrowness of shese points ef view. The fellow who joins for gold lace, camp life. and military dances would not be an efrec- tive defender against AZ centimeter guns The employer who can't spare 2. militian1an for g week may some day see his factory shut down for years by a foreign war

TAKE HER ARM
 WHEN CROSSING

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am your constant reader; a young man of 19; considered good as to looks. What is a young man to say if he wishes a young girl to dance with him? Is it proper for a young man to take a young Iady's arm in cross ing over a muddy place for fear she may slip and fall? Do write good and plain?
 H. HI. To dance with you ask if you. can have the next dance with her, if she's no other engagement. It is proper and very considerate. of you to take her arm when crossing over a muddy or dangerous place. Your writing is quite takes.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a young lady in love with a young man two years my senior. Be- fore going away this summer he prom ised to write to me. Up to the present, I have not received as much as a pos tai from him. He often told me he loved me. Do you. think he does? Ought I to pay any attention to him when he returns2 Kindly tell me if I have good handwriting.
 NO. He must be one of the kind out of sight out of mind admirers. Do. not place much confidence in his protesta- tions of love or promises to write. Treat him just politely as though he was an acquaintance, not an admirer. Your writing is good.
