Rear Admiral Peary has been made
chairman of an Aero Club committee,
which has been instructed to make

The Push Man Train.

One of the quaintest sights in Jap.

railway which runs for nineteen miles
along the seacoast between Atami and
odawara, taking four hours to COM
plete the journey.
Zach car is hauled and pushed up
hill by coolies and then allowed to run
down the next incline by its own mo.
mentus. the coolies jumping on be-
hind. When skirting preeipices and
rounding sharp curves this becomes
somewhat exciting, the sensation is
rather like being in runaway switch

Fashions Latest DEGREES

IL seems a far cry from the
trenches to Fifth avenue, but one has
only to stroll along that famous thor
oughfare any pleasant afternoon to
observe to what an extent the war
has affected the new fashions.
Hats are suggestive of the now
famous "tin" helmets worn by the
Allies on the Western front; coat col

are. strikingly akin in their general
effect to the trim fitting uniforms
worn by the officers of both Allied
armies and our own.
OF late there has appeared a milf
tary looking costume of material and
color similar to the trig- looking uni
forms worn by officers of the Cana
dian Aviation Corps. Even the odd,
but attractive-looking, cloth bonnets
worn with these uniforms are dupli-

well as in shape. One has only to
note the large number of women who
are now W airing these military-look-
ing coats and costumes to realize to
what an extent the craze for anything
pertaining to the military has swept
through the land.
The advent of these various mill
tary models should prove blessing
to women in general, since they one
and all present clear-cut body lines,
which in turn call for unusual care on
the part Of their wearers in the selec.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

A little boy always wears out the
bottom part of his rompers first. BY
cutting them off at the waist line
and adding band (if long enough,
make a small hem and run in an
elastic), you have nice little waist
to wear with overalls for play suit.
These little waists will wear quite a
while and are quite a saving in ma
terial at present prices, as well as
time in making new ones.
Resole baby's shoes and save ex-
pense of new pair. Take pattern
from shoe and cut sole from an old
leather bag or pocketbook and glue
onto shoe. When this wears out, re-
new. The tiny shoes will last longer
than new pair.
Leftover lemon will brighten the
kitchen faucet quicker and easier
! than polish.

he was relating to crony some of his

And don't think for minute that

Others may not have developed such

has come back from the front and
found his women folk working as do

Not so the Sammy, though. He'd be
the first to resent the charge Of be-

thought of being served by one of the

for him. He was pretty fresh young
man when he first hit England. He
had reputation for breeziness to up
hold and by the spike of Heinie's hat,
he was going to live up to it. But
when he learned that the young wom-
an servant was the daughter of one of
the peers of the realm he wilted.

at 100 Yards.
Considering the fact that large
number of men will soon be going
through the motions of the manual of
arms and learning how to shoot the
Army rifle, believe that a short talk
ON the rifle which is in use by the
United States government at present
may be of Interest," writes Alfread
Z. Lume.
The United States rifle, callbre so,
model Of 1903, as it Is officially desig-
mated, is bolt action repeating rifle.
The action is an improved form of the
regular Mauser action. 1t consists of
bolt which contains the firing mechan-
ism and made with handle at the
rear end and locking lugs at the for
ward end. 10 work it, lift up on the
handle which rotates the bolt and un-
locks it, then pull it straight back and
empty cartridge will be elected if you
have fired the rifle.
Pushing ii straight forward carries
a new cartridge into the chamber and
turning the handle down to its orig
their recesses and finishes cooking the
firing mechanism.
The safety is a thumb piece at the
back end of the bolt marked on one
side ready" and on the other safe"
Turning it all the way over so that
safe" appears locks the action, and
the mechanism; putting it in a verti-
cal position locks the firing mechan-
ism but permits the action to be
worked This position is useful in
unloading the magazine if it is not de-
! sired to shoot the cartridges.
The sight consists of a folding slide
which, when in the upright position,
gives sehtinss for distances up to q
! $50 yards. When folded down in the
, so.caiied battle sight position, it is
sighted app. oXimdtely correct for $40
! yards. Practically all military rifles
are made with the barrel well covered
with wood nearly to the muzzle. This
is done TO protect it in rough usage
and also to protect the hand of The
soldier in continued firing, as the bar.

Here Is condensed table OF inter

Length over all, 43 inches.
Weight of rifle without bayonet, S3i

LUNA1|C KILLED ON
ESPEE TRAIN AFTER
SHOOTING CONDUCTOR

CASA GRANDE.-The lunatic who
shot Conductor John Seamands on
train No. 10 of the Southern Pacific
on Tuesday, was identified by Coroner
Oscar L. Pease as Bass Jones of vi
salia, Cal, and he is assumed to have
been an adjuster of labor differences
on behalf of the unions. His identity
was established by an examination of
letters in his satchel. The authorities
at Visalia have been telegraphed for
further information.
Papers in the grip showed that he
had passed the Tulare county local
draft board and placed in class one.
The date of the inquest has been
set for January to enable County At
torney Moore of Pima county to ex-
anime and gather evidence.
Conductor Seamans was fortunate.
The shot that passed through his
shoulder missed the lung and the one
that entered his back missed the intes-
tines. His wife, who has been an in
valid for years, is suffering from shock.
She had to be told when her husband
did not come home after the arrival
of the train.
J. J. Duffy, railway telegraph op-
orator, who was on the train, secured
the Colt automatic revolver from the
express car and it was taken from, he
says, by Postmaster F. D. Hastings of
Red Rock, who said he was govern
ment man. Hastings then made his
way into the chair car where the lu-
natic held the passengers at bay, and
while his attention was distracted by
others, got the drop on him. Jones
was shot three times in the melee that
followed.
The witnesses to the affair whose
names were secured by County Attor-
ney Moore are F. P. Moore, Douglas );
Harry Dade, Wichita Fails, Tex; Miss
Bill Jones, Phoenix; Sailor Joe June
man, Jr., Birmingham, Ala. M. J. Mog-
nett, Douglas; Conductor T. H. Par
ker, Tucson; H. H. Young, Tucson;
