THE LAND OF BLADES"

Japan is called the land of blades
by its own people, some of the older
scholars having declared that the first
sword was invented by the same god
who invented poetry. A maker of
swords in Japan was ever highly hon
Ored among his fellow mechanics. An
unusually skillful and artistic smith
sometimes was recipient of high mill
tary rank, a yearly pension or was
even raised to the lordship of the
province In which he dwelt.

THE thing that impresseS me, how

before we entered the war that all of
this propaganda was not coming forth

inspired by some astute, powerful,
clever source, and that source was the
German government.

message reached the capitol members
began haSty search of the files to find
the names of the men who voted
against war. While there was no as

names of those affected would be

he would have to meet Floyd Willard,

racing career in big races and has
had an even break with him and when
the two clash on Sept. Is, the final

close to five thousand dollars.
Both Willard and Horey hold many
track records. Willard has to his

said to be the fastest time ever made
by any Ford racing car. not even ex-

In LETTERS OF FIRE
Miss Stinson, Who Flies Here, Wrote
CaIifornia's Name in Skies

Without reading the columns and
whole pages Mex York, Los Angeles
and San Francisco papers and maya
zines have devoted to her, Kansas peo-
pie can't realize that Katherine Stin-
son, who will fly in Topeka during
the big Kansas Free fair, is alone
worth trip to the fair.
Miss Stinson is the slip of a girl
30 years of age, who shocked and
startled $4,000 bland and seIf-satisfied
New Workers with the capers she cut
in her airplane at Sheepshead Bay.
She's the girl who went up by night
at Los Angeles with torches on her
airplane and spelled California; in
the air with her loops, drops, curves
and straightaways.
Time after time she has dropped like
a plummet for 1000 feet and when
within 100 feet of the ground, righted
the plane and swept gracefully to the
earth. She will delight the thousands
at the free fair grounds, will raise
their hearts in their Threats and glide
to the ground leaving them spellbound
She has done all these things to peo-
pie far more accustomed to aerial
stunts than are Kansans. She is the
highest priced woman aviator in the
world.
Miss Stinson is 20 years old and
looks younger. She is five feet four
and weighs 104 pounds. She is not at
all of the type of young woman one
might expect to see risking death in
the clouds. She is slight and pretty
and her hair hangs about her shout

inside her cap when she l. flying.

Lighting the Fireman's Way

10 aid in fighting specially smoky fires,
the Los Angeles fire department has
installed on it's trucks powerful
searchlights which penetrate smoke to
an almost unbelievable distance A gen.
orator installed on the right footboard and
connected with the main shaft furnishes
power for the lights. There is also
series of large lighting batteries capable
of furnishing these lights for several
hours.
There are five large lights mounted on
the rear Of the truck, three of which are
stationary and two portable.
BY means of special adjustments the
stationary lights can be swung from side
to side, and elevated or lowered, enabling
the fremen to throw their rays upon any
part of building.
The two portable lights can be carried
