tire case ensued. Politics, social

Rock Island for the past Is years
we're discussed.
Both the woman's club represen-
tatives and the mayor made plain
statements as To their versions Of
conditions past and present.
Mrs. Mixter and Mrs. Cleaveland
insisted that it was the mayors
duty to suppress the paper.
It will be recalled that three

tes Of IS women from the Wom-
ems club visited the city commie-
sioners in regular session and

Over in the flying camps in France,
where contempt for death was daily
manifested, the steel nerved pilots re-

sheer daring the recorded act OF any
other man since the world began.
Aviation experts declared the feat
impossible of accomplishment and
gave ii as their opinion that Locklear

producing an optical Illusion which had
served to deceive those who beheld his
act They pointed out that even were

WOMEN INTERESTED
IN FANCY WORK

Trenton.-Thousands OF women are
interested in knitting and fancy work
this year who gave comparatively little
heed to such things before their war
activities made them deft with the
needle.
This condition is plainly reflected in
the large number of inquiries being
received by the management of the
Trenton Fair from women who intend
exhibiting the product Of their needles
at the coming exposition. Because of
the great interest manifested special
preparations are being made to take
care of the large number of entries an
ticipated.

ANNUAL AUTO SHOW
AT TRENTON FAIR.

Trenton, n. Ut has been decid-
ed by the Automobile Trade Asso-
citation to hold an annual show of
pleasure cars at the Trenton Fair.
This will be known as the fall show
Of the organization. The spring show
will be held as usual in the Trenton
Armory. The armory show has at
tracted thousands Of visitors in past
years, but large numbers of people
interested in cars found it inconven-
lent to attend. 1t was TO take care of
this class that the automobile people
leased the spacious show room under
the Fair grand stand for it's annual
fall exposition.

IF Locklear could stage his act un-
der my Zig top I'd give him 100000

Snowman, when he witnessed for the
first time Lieutenant Ormer Locklear
change from one airplane to another
500 feet above the grand stand at
Sheepshead' Bay Speedway few
weeks ago.
Ringing thought he was paying a
high compliment to the famous avia-
tor, and he was, but the fact is Lock
lear will make far more than 100000
a year for some years to come If his
foot does not slip from the top of the
plane as he stands with arms out
stretched to grasp the other plane as 1t
comes above him at so miles an hour

Four months ago Locklear was draw

month with the Government as instruc-
tor of instructors at the aviation field
near Fort Worth, Texas. Although the
now famous fellow had achieved the
most amazing feat in the aviation

in the feeling that they have enough
support without appealing for any
from the ''chief hog" and his friends
who have been classed in the pork line.
1t may be all wrong for any set Of
colored men to attempt to boost the
claims for official recognition of men
they deem worthy of support and by
the same token it is all right for the
fault finders to send emissaries
Throughout the county to get line on
the feeling for candidates which they
are particularly DESTROYS of having
nominated. Men have been sent Out
to get information with instructions to
report to headquarters as soon as posi-
bic. They were told to find out all
they can. We are not at all worried
about the result but we want one OF
the candidates to get more pep in
him and something must be done"
incidentally it was limited that reports
might be SO worded as to cause the
candidate to hand out little money,
although why that should be necessary
is not clear as it is stated on authority
that cannot be denied that "expendi-
ture of candidates for Office is far more
risky than ever before"
