TO BUST BURLESON

AS a means of limiting the almost
autocratic powers of the postmaster
general over the press of the country
the Republican Publicity Association
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., has recommended the
enactment of a law reading in effect
as follows:
THAT when any publication has
been accorded second class mail priv
ileges the same shall not be suspended
or annulled unless such publication
shall have been discontinued for a
period of not less than three months
or the publisher or editor shall have
been convicted, by a court of compe-
tent jurisdiction, of violation of the
postal laws of the United States, and
such suspension or annulment shall
have been recommended by the court
as a part of the penalty to be i'm

DOWN PLANE WITH RIFLE
Remarkable Feat Of Workmanship
Described by American
Newspaper Man.

Atlanta, Ga.-How a German air.
plane was brought down by a squad Of
American infantrymen armed only
with rifles is graphically described In
a letter from Harl II. Coffee, well.
known to newspaper men of the South
through his former connection with the
Western Newspaper Union, and who
Is now serving in France with the
Eighty-ninth division.
A small squad Of American soldiers,
among them Mr.. Coffee. was resting
by the side of a road, when a German
plane, flying very low, passed over and
began dropping hand grenades. The
Americans opened fire with their rifles
and a chance shot struck the pilot In
the head, killing him instantly and
bringing the machine to the ground
with a crash. This f. tha flr~t instance
reported where an IA IAN has been
brought down with rifles, and 1t Is not
likely to be duplica.cl again unless
some exceptionally good marksman
gets a chance shot home.

First Liner.

The astonishing development of
Americas shipbuilding industry with
in the last few years makes certain
that our merchant marine will soon
be restored to the supremacy 1t once
held, and recalls the launching at New
York, just 100 years ago, Of the first
transatlantic liner to be operated by
steam power. She was the famous Sa-
vannah, a vessel of $50 tons. The
crank who thought 1t was possible for
a ship to cross the Atlantic by steam
power was William Scarborough of Sa-
vannah. The Savannah left New
York for the home city of her builder
on April 10, 1919. and a little more
than a month later cleared for Liver
pool, where she was given a rousing
welcome, as the first steam vessel to
cross the ocean The trip was made
in four days less than a month. From
Liverpool the Savannah proceeded TO
st. Petersburg, and in December, 1919,
she was again in her home port.-New
York World.

quently the waves dash over the boys
heads, but they never lose their foot
ing and the danger of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets.
During the day the Indians at La
Push village average fully a ton of
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work is done, but 1t is the boys
task to capture the fish.
With each tide thousands Of smelt
are driven inshore. Each lift of the
dip nets from the surf generally
brings a basketful of fish.
Three of Quillayutes are now in
the military service. There are now
$50 men, women and children in the
little settlement, but each is doing
his or her share with fishing. wal

Saved Her Fathers Life.

Heroic presence of mind exhibited
by his fifteen-year-old daughter, Kath-
ryn, saved the life of Harry B. Gregg.
a broker of San Francisco, when he
fell with his horse on the brink of a
cliff while pursuing a deer, according
to his story.
Gregg was dangling over the side
of the cliff. clinging to the bride of his
frantically Juggling horse, when his
daughter hurled a lasso around him
and cinched 1t about a tree. Gregg
says he scrambled back to the path
with difficulty, as his leg from the
ankle to knee had been bruised In the
fall from the horse.
