Il Is Said.
Does your wife hy?

Does your wife fly?
If so, she's in style-right up to
the minute. If she flies upside down,
she's Understandable, because that
means she can loop the loop. But if
she hasn't got an aeroplane she's
hopelessly lost. Because aeroplane
flying for women has come to be
quite the thing!
To provide better tutoring facili-
ties for women who want to learn to
fly, the Misses Katherine and Mar
jorie Stimson of Chicago will open
an aviation school at San Antonio in
the spring, it is announced. Miss
Katherine, who is only nineteen years
old, and who still wears her hair
down her back, already has made a
record as an airwoman.
She was the first woman in the
world to loop the loop and to fly up
side down, and she is still the only
woman who performs these feats.
She has Topped the loop more than
two hundred and fifty times. Miss

INTERESTING INVESTIGATION.

The plants used by the American
aborigines form the subject Of spe-
cial investigation which the United
States bureau Of plant industry has
been carrying en- for some years. All
available literature On exploration,
early travels and settlement in this
country, as we'll as later publications,
are searched for information as to
the knowledge which the aborigines
possessed regarding the uses CT
plants, and this information is alb
stracted and filed under the name Of
each plant. 1t is expected that this
undertaking will not be completed
for publication before the year 1924.

SMALL VESSELS DISCARDED.

in France the 'baby'' submarine
type is descredited. The idea of Da-
vid Staying the giant, Of diminutive
craft of trifing cost sinking masto-
dons costing many millions, has al
ways been cherished by would-be
French inventors, who, in the re-
markable devices from time to time
offered to the Rue Royale admiralty,
forgot one fact Of capital impor-
lance, namely, that the sea is cruel
to the understood. Consequently a
common tendency in craft of all
classes is continuously to increase in
displacement, with view to being in
better condition to fight the sea

TURN NATURALLY TO HOME
stinct In the Noddy and
Sooty Terms.

Prof. J. B. Watson and DR.. K. S.
Lashley Of the department Of marine
biology of the Carnegie institution
have made some interesting tests of
the noddy and the sooty terms that
breed at Bird key, in the Tortugas,
relates the Youths Companion. On
the western side of the island, which
is at the northern limit of the migra-
ton Of these two tropical terms, the
open water of the Gulf Of Mexico
stretches for several hundred miles,
and makes an ideal place for testing
the homing instinct of the birds. The
investigators caught terms at their
nesting places, put special paint
marks upon the heads and necks Of
individual birds, tied small tags re-
cording the date and place round
their necks, and placed correspond
ing tags beside the nests. Then they
had the birds transported in large
cases to a distance and liberated,
while they watched for their return.
The result showed that in the absence
Of all landmarks these two varieties
of tern can return to their homes
from any distance up to a thousand
miles, and that they can return from
point in the open sea as easily as
they can return from point on the
coast. Although Professor Watson
and Doctor Lashley prefer to expert
ment further before attributing to
the birds any special mysterious
sense, what they say in concluding
their report is significant: owe are
far from being without hope that fu-
ture studies may yield results that
will enable US to solve the riddle that
has been propounded to scientific
men Of all ages, but that as yet has
never been satisfactorily answered"

IS WANT RABBITS.

The demand for rabbits is so great
in London that special rabbit trains
are being run over some of the branch
lines in Devon and Somerset. Deal
ers have established services of motor
lorries to bring the rabbits from the
farms on which they have been
caught to the nearest distributing
centers. In normal times Devon
farmers are content to receive II
cents for rabbit. Now some deal
ers are giving three times that
amount for freshly trapped rabbits.

Who Attemps To Take
Porter From Train at
Harrisburg.

Following the hold-up of the
north bound passenger train at
Hattiesburg Monday night as de.
tailed in yesterdays paper, an unu.
sually large number of strikers
friends and sympathizers assembled
at the Gulf and Ship Island depot
yesterday morning at $50 when the
DELAYED north bound passenger train
came IN. The sheriff had informed
the strikers and sympathlzers that
they must not cross the mark" A
large white line some eight or ten
feet from the tracks: that if they
did so he would arrest every man
violating his orders. His words
seemed to have the proper effect,
and the strikers held back.
The train pulled into Hattiesburg
fifteen or twenty minutes late. 1t
was allowed to unload its express
and BAGGAGE and transfer packages
and parcels from the train that
arrived the night before, and, which
stood idle on the track. There was
no shooting, jeerine, cursing or in
sulting language used toward the
train crew. The loading and un-
loading went on without interruption
and the strikers seem to have
practically withdrawn, and all we're
feeling better.
The all aboard was given by
Conductor Dorsey, and the train
slowly pulled out over the first
crossing. The conductor accom-
panied his negro porter to the
second crossing, but a short distance
ahead. the strikers and sympa.
thizers made a rush for the porter
and for a few seconds it seemed
they would reach him. But Mr.
Dorsey drew his right-hand pistoI
and yelled out, Stop! come nc
further They still surged onward
when the courageous conductor
drew second pistol, with his left
hand, and cried out. Advance
another step and I'll fire"
His words had magical effect, fol
instead of going onward in an effort
to get the porter, many in the
crowd broke and ran in different
directions
Mr.. Dorsey was perfectly calm
but stood as firm as an old warrior
in battle. He was afterwards hearC

90, but the amusement loving pub
lie hope that the W. l. Swain
Show Company, will 90 on forever
like Tennyson's Book. This was to
be discerned Monday night in the
big crowd that f1ocked to the Kant
Leak" tent and witnessed the open
ing performance of the company's
weeks engagement in Bogalusa.
The reputation of the W. |. Swain
Shows has been great in the past,
but Monday night only served to
clinch a stronger hold on the citi-
zens Of Bogalusa. The entire out
fit is new this season, the band ap.
peared in new uniforms of western
type, and it is the best band Swain
has ever had. Instead or trying to
see how much noise they can make
they actually play music that it is
a pleasure to listen to- This alone
is out of the ordinary for a show
band. The company is the largest
ever here, and by far the best. The
opening play, The Minister'S Son.
is one of the best ever in the Swain
repertoire. a complete new scenic
equipment was used, and from pres
ent indications, Swain has the big.
gest and best show he has ever had.
A pleasing Innovation with the Swain
Show both in the past and this
season, is the entire elimination of
rough stuff or smut so often seen
and heard with shows of this kind,
Diavolo; the Air Rider is the free
act, and never has Bogalusa witness
ed a better or more sensational &C.
Just in front of the tent is a frail
tower, which appears to pierce the
very heavens, so tall it seems. You
glance upward, and there upon the
very pinnacle of the tower, his cos
tune of blood red making a luris
streak agaist the black dome of the
vaulted sky above, stands a man.

the great distance, The voice of

fore making his ride through space.
The figure bends forward with out
stretched arms, and you catch your
breath with a thrill of horror of the
awful daring of the man. Then
with a fash like that of a meteor,
the lurid figure cuts the air like d
knife, and the crowd gasps as they
look for his body to be dashed to
pieces. Instead of such tragic
ending he strikes the f1imsey look
ing ten foot net with the force of a
catapult, his body rebounds ten or
twelve feet in the air, and he lights
right side up with care, to appear
smiling and bowling before the
crowd. Ski-High Diavolo, the big
free act of the W. |. Swain Shows,
has once more escaped almost GER
tain destruction. There are many
sensational and thrilling tree acts
