THE PROMOTERS WIFE
A CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION
C,II I2,rICI XNIN

When I asked Mr.. Frederick what
he thought of Blanche Orion my
heart seemed to almost stop beating
so anxiously did 1 await his reply.
Would he think that she and Neil?-
Mrs. Orion is hard up. She is the
kind of women we see occasionally
in the west" he interrupted my
thoughts. 'She is hard as nails, too
clever to be wicked, knowing she is
not, caring nothing what people say
at least / judge she does not"
mo, she never did, Even when
Mr.. Orton was alive. But then peo-
pie simply smiled at her actions; now
they talk"

That's question I can't answer.
You certainly could not entertain that

Whether you could have prevented
Forbes from getting mixed up with

C. R. JONES is DEAD.
He Was One Of the First Settlers In
Topeka.

Word has been received by Mrs.
Fontaine j., Riley of the death of her
father, c. r. Jones, who died Monday
evening at the Research hospital in
Kansas City.
c. r. Jones had a real estate office
at 514 Kansas avenue. He was an old
settler in Kansas and was one of the
first group Of persons who formed the
city of Topeka. Since that time he has
been one of the most prominent and
hest known men in the city. He knew
personally practically every old settler
in the city In recent years his busi-
ness has been confined largely to real
estate transactions. He was a power
in Kansas politics at one time.

A CENrURY,s PROGRESS.

THE transatlantic passage by a fly
ing machine, invented in America and
operated by Americans is a fitting
close to the century which began with
the first transatlantic voyage by
steam, also accomplished by an Amer
lean built vessel and operated by
Americans" said lecturer address
ing a class in the educational depart
ment of the National City bank of New
York this week.
Americans may justly claim the
honor of majority of the great de-
vices for transportation Of merchan-
disc, men and communications among
men which have developed during the
wonderful century, in which steam
power and electricity followed by
power generated by the internal COM
bustion engine have so revolutionized
commerce that the value of the
worlds international trade grew from
less than $1,000, 900, 900 in 1919 to
more than $4,000, 100000 in 1919.
While our own international trade
meantime has grown from $157,OOO.-
600 in 1919 to nearly $4,000, 100000
in 1919.
And this century of commercial de-
velopment j. only the beginning of
great things in international trade.
The steamship has grown from a
carrying capacity of 900 tons by the
Savannah in 1919 to more than 10000
tons by the large steamships of today
and some of the big vessels which
have recently transported our soldiers
from Europe carried more than 10000
persons on a single voyage.
The length of world railway lines
has grown from 200 miles in 1880 to
725,OOO miles and the carrying power
of the freight car from abo Z. five tons
per car in the early days of railroad
operation to fifty tons per car.
The telegraph lines have grown
from 5000 miles in 1870 to 1900, 900
miles of line and 100000 miles of
wire and the cables from 1900 miles
in 1860 to $4,000 miles. The number
of telephones in use in the United
States alone has advanced from about
1000 in 1880 to 12,O00,O 900 and ap-
proximately 10000, 900 the world over,
and the length of the telephone wires
is far greater than that of the tele-
graph, the United States alone hav-
ing over 100000 miles and the
whole world approximately 100000
miles.
With this basis of transportation IA
cilities which the, last century has fur
nished coupled with the $4,000 aero
planes left over from war and now be-
ing utilized in the establishment of air
routes for transporting men and mer-
chandise and with the experts in
Washington now telling us that flying
machines will soon be developed which
will carry 200 tons of freight, and
with equally wonderful Developments
in the use of the horseless vehicle on
land. we may expect for the next CEN
fury even greater wonder than those
of the century just ended, and espec-
tally as world facilities for financing
international trade are making as
great and wonderful developments as
are those OF commerce.

Mummies Found in Steam
Heated Cave; Vault Kept
Warm by Volcanic Fires

The mummified remains of Is Aleu-
tians were found in a steam-heated
cave on Raganil island recently, and
IL Of them have been taken to the Ma
tional museum at Washington. The
cavern that served as a burial vault
was kept warm by volcanic fires. The
mummies were wrapped in skins and
nets, and were completely dried up. 1t
is supposed that the ancestors Of the
present island natives mummified
their dead because they did not wish
to part from them, and not for any
religious reason. Their method was
to wrap the bodies In the skins and
intestinal membranes Of sea mammals,
place them In squatting attitude on
wooden trays, and hang them up in
dry caves. Many of them found are
undoubtedly very ancient, but of the
origin and history of the race little Is
known. The Aleutians spoke the Rus
sian language when the islands passed
into the possession of the United
States, along with Alaska, in 1867.
Then until 1884 they were left to gov.
ern themselves. They have now for.
gotten the Russian tongue, and are be.
coming Americanized. Most of them
live in clean wooden houses and wear
American clothes. The women weave
wonderful fabrics Of grass, so finely
plated that they resemble silk.
