in the midst of even so serious a
piece of business as the senate has
before it, cannot but draw a smile
from disinterested observers, is the
present anxiety of Mr. Wilson to
see and talk with the senate. even
to go to its committee meetings,

tors were more or less irritated
because the president went of to
Europe to negotiate q treaty with

Republican senators, into his con-

Pride and dignity enter much
into the relations between the ex-

and say when the spirit of mutual
forgiveness and reconciliation shall
begin to permeate the executive

augmented by many new senators

tee, Mr.. Lodge, has held that if Mr..
Wilson has anything to say, prec-
edent says he shall say it to the
whole senate and not a committee
thereof. Mr.. Wilson has made it
clear that he wouldn't stand on
precedent but would attend COM
mittee meetings, if invited, and be
subjected to interrogation. Really,
Mr. Wilson is laying the founda-
ton for his appeal to the country.
He is leaving no stone unturned to
make the record clear. He told
Senator Hitchcock, for instance.
that if the senate committee didn't
want to invite him, he would in

co AHEAD WITH
PAVING PROJECT
Notice Given Mccarthy Company to
Start Work on Appalling
Twenty fifth Street.
(SneciaI Moline Serricel


Notice was given the Mccarthy
Improvement company of Daven-
port yesterday that work on Tween
ty-fifth street pavement project
may be started at any time. Lyle
Payton, city engineer, notified the
company after officials of the
United States Housing corporation
had approved the changed plans
for the pavement which calls for
concrete asphalt instead Of brick.
Just when the work will be
started has not been stated, but II
city officials have much to say, the
project is to begin soon. The con-
tract was postponed twice and last
year the company told the city that
they could not lay the brick pave
ment at the contract price. After
much litigation, the city and prop
erty owners agreed to asphalt paw
ing, on the original contract price.
The work was first postponed in
1917 when the company gave short
age of material as an excuse. In
1918 the postponement was made
because, it is alleged, the govern
ment had ordered all such improve
ments stopped until after the war.

FOR The
MOVIES PROVED
REAL THRILLER
Lieutenant David Thompson Writes
About Exploit Which He Would
Not Care to Repeat.

Lieutenant David Thompson,
brother of Justice Floyd E. Thomp-
son, figured in a thrilling accident
just before his discharge from the
army flying corps, which he tells
about in a letter to his parents,
printed in the ROodhouse Record.
You have been wondering about
my accident" he writes. ''Now it
is old enough that you should be
able to hear it calmly and not let
it worry you. In the first place the
thing was done for advertising,
mostly, and of course 1 received a
fair price for my work. 1t was a
moving picture company and not
connected with the army. They
wired me to come, and the colonel
gave me leave.
THE stunt was to pass a man
from one ship to another in the air
by means of a rope. He came down
from the upper ship, SO that he
was hanging about eight feet be-
low it. l was to receive him on
top of my ship. He lost his nerve
and would not let loose of his
rope. 1 laid him on top of my
ship five times, and innumerable
times when he could have made the
leap.
81 few for as minutes within
touching distance of the other ship,
part of the time humping the other
ship. / felt that the only way to
bring this man down alive was to
get him on my ship, SO tried too
long. 1t would be impossible for
him to climb back up the other
ship. Anyway, an air current hit
US and drove US together at 2200
feet. We tangled good. / turned
over under him, almost completely
demolishing my ship. We fell 1900
feet locked together and spinning.
Finally, by the grace of God, we
parted. 1 fell off the bottom up
side down, and Pickup, the other
driver, was in a sort of a nose
dive. 1 Strengthened my ship up
and landed o. K. in a little bean
patch in a canon. Pickup also land
ed safely with this man hanging

on the rope. He was not even hurt
landed him in a plowed field.
4 landed my ship with all my
left lower wing gone except about
four feet of it next to the fuselage
(body). The left upper wing was
broken of at the same point and
hanging down. This was done when
l turned over under the other ship.
My right upper panel was most all
gone; right lower was pretty good
knocked out of it. All my lateral
controls were gone; my stabilizer
was broken in half, one side of the
elevators damaged, turtle back
gone and of course my propeller
was beaten of. In fact, all 1 had
left was rudder, an elevator, a
little wing surface, and a place 10
sit. / made a good landing with
this thing, and would have stopped
right side up, but the left upper
panel, which was hanging down,
caught in the ground and just
eased me over. Will send you a
picture of it as soon as I get them.
They got the movies of the entire
performance, wreck and all. You
will probably see them some day.
81 would not take anything for
the experience, but don't care to do
it again. In fact 1 am through
with flying that l am not positive
is absolutely safe This was safe,
but we had to depend on the nerve
of another man, which won't be
done again. This thing has proved
to me one. of my pet theories, that
a man can come through most any
difficulty if he will hold his head.
Strange as it may seem, was new
er more calm in my life than when
death seemed most certain. While
We were locked together there was
no chance, but what a grand an
glorious feelin' when We felt those
wrecks part There was our
chance, and as we were calm and
sane, we were able to grasp the
opportunity when it was offered.
1t was a thriller and it came out
fine, SO don't worry.
1 am getting to be quite a movie
star. This stunt was for Lasky,
and 1 few for a Vitagraph picture
yesterday"

HAD TO Be HELPED
UP STEPS, he SAYS
Before Taking Tanlae CaIkins Had
Suffered for TweRty-six Years
from Rheumatism.


Before I started taking Tanlac
I was SO badly crippled up with
rheumatism in my legs and feet
that I couldn't get up our porch
steps unless some of my folks
helped me, but nobody has to help
me now" said H. C. Calkins, a re-
tired farmer, living at 1856 N. Lin
coin avenue, Springfield, H., to a
Tanlac representative, recently.
ct had been in a bad fix for go
ing on rs years." continued Mr.
CaIkins. "Of course not SO bad
at all times as have been for the
past 10 years, but enough to make
me suffer lot. My arms panied rae
like old fashioned toothache, and
my legs were all drawn up so l
just had to hobble around on two
crutches. My legs panied me terri
bly, all the time, but seemed TO be
worse at night and 1 could hardly
get any sleep for the agony I suf-
fered. Then, about twelve years
ago, stomach trouble set In and
nearly eevrything l ate disagreed
with me, and / suffered lot with
cramps and finally got SO 1 lived
mostly on light diets, but that
didn't seem to help any, and got
awfully weak and rundown. This
rheumatism and stomach trouble
caused me to give up farming, be-
cause I wasn't able to do any work
myself and couldn't depend much
on hired help. I had tried all
kinds of medicines and treatments
without being helped any and got
so I never expected to be we'll
again.
Then I read about Tanlac and
saw statement by man knew,
so 1 decided to give Tanlac a trial,
and, I'll never forget how-that med
icine started right in to help me
it was simply wonderful, and /
could hardly believe it myself. l
hadn't finished the first bottle IN
til I was feeling lots better, so I
kept on taking the medicine and
now my rheumatism is not only
completely gone, but all my stom-
ach trouble as well, and 1 can sit
down to the table now and eat as
big a meal as / ever did on the
farm. don't hobble around any
more because have put my
crutches away in the attic and
never expect to see them again, and
[ can get about now as well as
could 80 years ago. Why, / actu-
ally believe 1 could stand and |
Jump on our porch steps-the same
steps that I couldn't even get up |
alone on crutches a little while |
back, and 1 am just so thankful to |
De free from my troubles that l
can't say too much in praise Of
ranlac."
