party which derives it principles

OF the world. we are following
the vision of the founders Of the
republic. who promised the
world the counsel and leadership
of the free people of the United

human liberty and the Justice of
The law. That promise we de-

perfect confidence that it Will 20

true traditions of the Republic

strength and prowess, but Of our
integrity and our devotion to
the highest ideals. This is
conquering purpose and moth

the manhole and disappeared from
view.
The amazed Isidore ran and told
his mother and grandmother of the
accident. and Park Foreman William
Lawrence and his assistants, at
tracted by the screams of the moth
er, rushed to the rescue. None of
the ladders would go through the
manhole, however, and a call, was
sent for Hook and Ladder IL, at Ave
nue. D and Fifth street.
The fireman opened the sewer at
Avenue B. A swift examination prov
ed the child had not been at that
point, so First Grade Fireman Frank
Ely, of 105 East Ninety-second
street, was lowered by a rope into
the swift-running water. Crawling
on hands and knees, Ely headed back
toward the hole through which Katie
had fallen, fighting to get his breath
in the sewer gas.
Finally. as Ely had about given
up hope, he saw pale disc about
seventy-f1ve feet away. 1t was the
baby's face. When Ely reached her
she was standing waist deep in the
water, and apparently enjoying the
adventure. But sight of the strange
man crawling toward her was too
much and she set up a wall that
made the cavern ring.
Katie had Gained again by the
time she and her rescuer reached
the surface, but when the crowd
broke into cheers for the fireman
the baby became hysterical and was
attended by DR.. Schwarthoug, Of Bel
levue hospital.

list with the chance to become event.
ually balloon and airshtp reserve Of
ficers.. The pay of applicants while
in training will be SIS per month,
ration allowance of ST per day,
all clothing and equipment free, med
Ical treatment and living quarters
The course is open to unmarried men
with high school education or it's
equivalent who can pass the army
physical examination and tests.
Successful candidates enter as
cadets and will be sent at once to the
air service school for training as bal
loon observers at Ross Field. Los An
takes a ten months course in balloon
observation under ideal conditions; he
is taught how to handle his craft in
all its phases and to make observa-
tions. and eventually qualities as a
free balloon pilot.
When the cadet is rated as a bal
loon observer he goes to Fort Sill,
Okla. to receive his artillery train
ing.
Upon completion of this course the
oCubCllL ~ commissioner a second
lieutenant in the air service, reserve
corps; then he has the alternative of
discharge or continuation in service
as an enlisted man. There is also
opportunity for him to take the ex.
animation for a lieutenancy in the
regular army.
If a cadet cannot finish his course
successfully he will be discharged
and not retained in the army against
his will.
Major General Harris. said: "This
training opens up an entirely new
range of experience to the young
man and lays the foundation for
qualification as a dirigible balloon
pilot, new field of almost limitless
possibilities.
Commercial transportation by air
ship is an accomplished fact in
America and according to present
plans next year will see it in actual
operation in this countr on a large
scale. Today the only opportunity
for such training is either in the
army or in the navy, in fact, the lack
of qualified personnel is one of the
serious drawbacks to present com
ton lines"
Army recruiting offices throughout
the United States have been notified
to furnish full particulars to all
young men who are interested in be-
coming balloonists under these new
conditions.

NEW YORK.-Katie Henig, two
years old, crowded more excitement
into two and one-half hours of her
hitherto uneventful life last week
than most persons experience in q
| lifetime, and last night she was none
the worse for it.
Katie plunged twenty feet into a
sewer in Tompkins Square park,
| walked seventy-five feet underground
through a swiftly running stream
more than q foot deep toward pos.
sible death at a huge intersecting
sewer under Avenue B and was res
cued by a big fireman. The only i'll
effect on Katie was somewhat Of a
shock induced by the wild cheering
Of the more. than 5000 persons who
saw her brought from the sewer
alive.
Katie was taken to the park with
her four-year-old brother, Isidore, by
her mother, Mrs. Pauline Henig, of
1872 st. Marks place, and her grand
mother, Mrs. Celia Henig, to battle
in the sunshine. The children began
playing while their elders crocheted
on a bench nearby.
A manhole had been fenced off to
guard the entrance to the sewer,
but somehow Katie managed to crawl
underneath the lower strand of wire,
less than half a foot above ground.
She turned and chuckled at Isidore,
who had been unable to squeeze
through, then rested her hands on

as there is in this simple homemade
cough syrup, which is easily prepared

of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain graduated sugar syrup,
clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, as desired. The result ia q
full pint of really better cough syrup
than you could buy ready-made for
three times the money. Tastes pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of cough and
gives almost immediate relief. It
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri-
tated membranes so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, hoarseness and bronchial asth-
ma, there is nothing better.

trated compound of genuine Norway

generations to break severe coughs,

FIRING OF GINS
STRONGLY SCORED
BY JUDGE THOMAS

MOULTRIE, Ga, Oct. 16.-Arous-
burning Of thousands of bales of
cotton by night riders, the firing of
cotton gins, the dynamiting of dip
ping watts and other forms of VIC
lence, Judge W. E. Thomas, before
adjourning court here Friday aft
ernoon, in thanking the Jurors for
their services, took occasion to make
an impressive appeal for law en-
forcement
1.-THE barrier which divides civil
iZation from the primal jungle is the
law; it is the might of the law, wise
ly and fearlessly administered; it is
the respect for and obedience of the
law on the part of the members of
OF anarchy from our cheeks" Judge
Thomas said.
1--WE have noticed" he continued,
press accounts of laWlessness in
different parts of the nation, involV-
ing throwing Of bombs and destruc-
ton of human life; we have noticed
accounts of the burning of thou
sands of bales of cotton, the law
less destruction of cotton gins tt g
dynaniiting of dipping watts and 9TH
er evidences of. violence designed
against the property of others by
the so-called night riders. In the
midst of this spirit of rest1essness
which seems world wide we wonder
how we are to be able to save the
integrity of the commonwealth.
Il recall an instance of a print
tive Baptist preacher of the old
school, whose ministerial work COW
cred certain rural districts in Geor-
gia. He was not a literary man and
his teachings largely dealt with the
practical affairs of life. His constant
themes were honesty Of his people,
ideal citizenship the integrity OF
the country and the enforcement OF
it's laws. In his pathway was found
no anarchy and strife. Upon the
grand and petit juries his people rep
resented integrity of the home and
the honor of the state That spirit
which defles law and order, woulC
| unshackle destruction, would menace
life and property, would imperil oul
homes and our affairs, and woulC
! take away the happiness and we'll be-
ing of our people. Let the majesty
of the law and it's enforcement be
| a part of the text of every minister
of the gospel, in every lesson hi
| teaches. Without the law his minis
try Is a failure. Let the laws su.
premacy be of first Importance. Lei
it be taught in every school in Geor.
gia and let 1t be the by-word around
tho f1reside of every man who loves
his country. Let us restore our af-
fairs to the ideals Of our forefath-
ers. Let the law be supreme"
