cow DRANK HIS GAS.
Aviator Missing for Days Finally Re-
turns With Long Story.

Cincinnati, o., July 6.-Missing. for
days after his start from Greervillc,
Miss, for a Cincinnati flying field,
Aviator B. K. Leonard finally disclosed
his whereabouts at Corydon Junction,
Ind.
His airplane was approaching Cory
don Junction, Leonard reported when
he noticed that his gasoline supply
was running low. He landed in q
field on the farm of John Hoehn
and telephones to the junction for a
supply of fuel. After the tanks were
filled Leonard gave the oil man a ride.
During their absence a COW belonging
to Hoehn drank some of the gasoline
which had been left in an open vessel
"Bossy'' did some fast travelling in a
circle without being cranked and died
within a few minutes. Hoehn went
before the nearest justice of peace
and had issued a writ of alta chment
for the airplane which was served when
Leonard and his passenger landed.
Hoehn placed a valuation of $S5 on
the COW and the machine was held
while Leonard made frantic efforts
to get into communication with the
officials of the aircraft company. He
finally succeeded, reimbursed the
farmer and winged his way home.

legion of peevish, disgruntled, whining
women who are always knocking fate

Yet the lots of the happy and I'M
happy women, of the contented and

Both have certain joys and perquisites.
Both have certain cares and burdens

The whole difference lies in the point

To the other her daily task is loathed

Consequently, one woman is happy,

BLIND FISH ARE FOUND.
New Piscatorial Wonders Discovered
in Caves 1000. 900 Years Old.

Bloomington, Ind, July e. Blind
fish have been discovered in the
southern part of Indiana by Prof. c.
H. Eigenmann, head of the zoology
department of Indiana university and
internationally known authority on
blind fishes. The find was made in
underground FLYERS in caves that ge-
ologists declared to be from 100000
to 100000 years old. Doctor Eigen-
mann said this gives some conception
of the time required for the fish to
pass from the ordinary variety with
eyes to their present blindness.
The specimens were found in the
Mitchell caves in Orange county. The
female, according to the professor,
conveys the eggs into the gill cavity;
thus she acts as an animated hatch
cry until the young are able to take
care of themselves. The eyes of the
young are said to develop in perfect
ly normal way. but soon they begin to
lag behind the development then they
begin to degenerate and in old age
only small specks of black pigment
show where they should be.

Both the Republican and the DEM
ocrat parties have ignored the pro-
hibition question in their platform.
This will afford an opportunity to
those who have made a living out of
agitating the question to go right
ahead at good salaries. There still
are many persons in this country who
viii give up good money for carrying
on the war against liquor. AS the
matter stands nov, prohibition is
fact. Debate is closed on the question
Legislation will accomplish nothing
material for the VETS in the opinion
of authorities on the law. The only
way the vets can realize on their
hopes is by accomplishing the rescind-
ing of the eighteenth amendment
But that would be no easy task. 1t
never has been done. Prohibition has
come to the country. and it appears
due for an indefinite stay. But the
agitation probably will go on and many
persons will continue in the fight,
some working and others paying.

ordinary family has a strenuous life of
it, and whether size is a martyr, or
blessed among women depends upon
her point of view. If she loves her
husband and children better than she
does herself. she gets pure joy out of
it. There is nothing mental in the
hours she spends over the cook stove,
preparing food that gives them health
and strength. Nor is there anything
sordid in the pinchins economies with
which she manages her household,
for she is helping her man build up
his fortune.
And there you are. Husbands are
dull or fascinating, children are bur-
dens, or Gods own gifts; making a
home is woman's noblest sphere or
domestic slavery just as the individual
woman thinks it is.
And similarly. making he own liv-
ing is a career or a curse, according
to a woman's point of view.

THREE FIRES HERE JULY 5.
None Resulted From Display of Fire
works, Records Show.

There were only three fires in To-
peka July Sin effect, the Fourth
according to the records of the fire
department None of them resulted
from display of fireworks, another
beneficial result of the sane Fourth.
Fire companies were called out dur
ing the day to $40 Clay street, where
tree mad caught fire; to 316 Madison
street, where sparks from i chimney
started fire at the home of Mrs f.
Duetscher. and to S34 Quincy street on
false alarm. On Sunday, sparks on
a roof resulted in a small blaze at the
home of FRANC Ogle, $40 West street.
Reference to the records of the fire
department shows that July does
not have so many fires as it might
be expected to have, but in former
years some have been caused by fire
works. In 1919, a -bonfire-children-
matches combination resulted in a SO
fire. In 1916. toy balloon was listed
as cause for one of the fires and on

REFUSE TO CONTINUE CASE
Supreme Court OvcrruIes Application
Filed by Howat's Attorney.

The Kansas supreme court this
afternoon overruled an application for
a continuance filed by Phil Gallery,
Pittsburg. attorney for Alexander
Howat. president of Kansas district,
United Mine Workers of America and
arguments by both sides were sub
mitted in the form of briefs prepared
in advance.
Howat appealed TO the Kansas su-
preme court from a sentence imposed
on him for contempt of court. The
contempt sentence followed Howat's
refusal to testify before the industrial
court when the court went to Pitts
burg to investigate conditions in the
southeastern Kansas coal fields.
In his appeal Howats attorneys
pointed to fourteen alleged unconsti-
tutional phases of the industrial court
law as justification for his refusal to
testify. His attorneys in their apph-
cation declared they did not have SUI
ficient time to prepare briefs as com
plete as desired.
Howat did not appear in court.
