TAHITI CLAIMS FIRST
 AERIAL NAVIGATION

PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 22 (by As sOciated Press) Tahiti natives used big kites for airplanes long before fly ing machines were invented, accord ing to native traditions. On a cliff at Taiarapu in Tahiti there is project ing rock marked round about with deep worn grooves. This point is on the peninsula separated from the main island by a wide bay. Here, it is said, the old natives were accustomed, when the wind was in the right direction, to fly enormous kites, attaching the ropes to the projecting rock. The kites were large enough to support a man and often on favorable days a man would, by using the kite as an airplane and then as a parachute, ac- complish safely the journey across the bay.

CRYING NEED 0F OFFICE ROOMS
 SHUTS HOTELS

NEW YORK, July 22 (by Associat- ed Press)-The bidding power of the office seekers and not prohibition has caused many hotels in the general vl- cinity of Forty--second street to close recently, according to opinions of real estate men expressed today.
 Within relatively short time of one another such old ant famous hostelries as the Holland House, Sher- rvs and the Fifth Avenue hotel have closed their doors and more re- gently the Knickerboeker-a rela- lively new and imposing structure abandoned business.
 Prohibition has done this" cried many "wets," but now one we'll known hotel woman advanced the theory that the steady march of business toward the newer uptown sections was par amount consideration of the men who decided to close their hostelries.
 "A hotel doesn't have to run behind to close" she declared, eff the owner of the property considers it better business policy to erect an office building on the ground, he isn't like ly to let sentiment sway him. Pro- hibition? No! Let's say business!"
 Real estate men admitted, however, there was no general formula to ac- count for the disappearance of the old hotels, some of them the posses sors of international regulations.
 Some people who are closely in touch with the hotel business ascribe the closing of some of the older houses to the fact that the principles of hotel construction have undergone radical changes in the last decade. Hotels, they say, are being built with several times as many rooms as formerly, effecting a concentration about one controlling headquarters and reducing the overhead expense" incident to upkeep of individual IOOIuo duu dpdl
 Something more than a sentimental loss is entailed in the passing of the old hotels, another hotel manager points out.
 With the closing of the Holland House, Sherry's, the Knickerbocker and the Manhattan," he said, there has been a decrease of about 2,200 rooms available in the center of the city. Recent structures have SUD- piled about 4,200 rooms, leaving net gain of about 2O00 rooms in five years. This gain is not adequate to accommodate the increased demand. I doubt if even the new hotels now planned will be sufficient to supply the demands of the greater number of applicants"
 That this fact is appreciated by hotel interests is proved by the ex- tensive preparations being made to fill the need. Plans are under way for the construction of several new hotels in the uptown district
 One large hotel is to add 2,000 rooms and another will be so recon structed as to contain at least 5000 rooms. Tn addition, besides con- strGction of smaller houses, it is said that a California syndicate is casting about for sites for several mammoth hotels i1 the city

Town in Ruins and inhabitants

POLICE SUBJECT TO
! BOYCOTT FOR WEEKS
People Declared to Have Been
Fired Upon From Roofs of
Large Store

A town half in ruins and the rem
nant of it's inhabitants living in dread
of a repetition Of the raid Of last week
and a handful Il seemingly nervous
police who had shut themselves in
side barracks with the body Of the
slain district inspector Brady, found
in Tubbercurry, Ireland on Sunday.
1t is said Acting county Commits
sioner. Russell tried to prevent the
destruction of the town. From the
managers of the two fire swept cream
cries were given accounts of a heroic
struggle in the darkness and a thick
fog to save the institutions with which
the fortunes of almost the entire COM
munity were bound up and the wife
of one of the managers of the creamer-
les told story of how she and her
three children escaped from bullets
and how she, while facing four rifles
pointed at her head, contrived a ruse
to safeguard her husband.
For many weeks the police had
been subject to a boycott by the towns
people, the shopkeepers even refusing
10 accept their trade. For a fortnight
preceding Thursdays raid on the town
the people were declared to have been
fired on from thesroofs of a large gen.
'eral store adjoining the barracks. The
store later was riddled with bullets
and It's interior wrecked, this Incl
dent intensifying the feeling between
the people and the police.

LADY SWALLOWS
DENTAL BR0ACII
Unpleasant Experience While Hav-
Ing a Troublesome Tooth Oper-
ated Upon

Much alarm was felt Saturday
morning when Mrs. e. J.. Gregor of
Kendall, who was having a trouble
some tooth operated on at the dental
Office of DR.. o. r. Chase, swallowed
the dental breach with which he was
working when it slipped from his fin
gers.
Mrs. Gregor, who has not been very
well, lost consciousness for few min
utes. Dr.. Waite was summoned and at
once advised that she be taken to La
Crosse for an ex-Tay examination.
This was done, her husband and a
daughter accompanying her.
In the afternoon the members OF
the family and DR.. Chase We're much
relieved by a telephone message from
Lacrosse to the effect that a radio
graph showed the instrument had
reached the stomach and the patient
was considered out of danger.
The dental breach is a small steel
finely grooved needle about an inch
in length. It is very sharp at one end
The other end has small milled han
die. 1t is used in dental work for Dor
ing under the roots, and it is said to
be especially prone to slip from the
fingers of the operator and disappear
down the oesphagus or trachea. Prob
ably many such instruments have
been swallowed and passed through
the tro-intestinal tract without
causing harm.
But it is not pleasant or safe
experience. If the breach disappears
with the head downward, as in this
case, it cannot well be coughed out,
as the point tends to catch on the
wall Of the bronchi or lodge in the
narrow laryngea1 orfice; while If swaI-
lowed point downward it may per
forate the intestinal wall. IS t8.
Five photographs were necessary
to locate the breach in the case OF
Mrs. Gregor. The patient was able to
Aome home ON the midnight train the
same day Today she will return to
Lacrosse for another examination. l.
the means employed in the mean
time have not been effective an OPP
eraticn may be required, but it is
hoped and expected this will not be
necessary.-Kendall keystone.

BARABOO PLAYS
TOMAH TO TIE
Tight ScoreIess Game Played at
Baraboo Fairgrounds AS First
of Season

The first football game of the sea-
son for the Baraboo high school Sat
urday resulted in a to score with
the fast Tomah aggregation. The
game was played at the local fair
grounds and was one of the closest
contests seen on the local gridiron
for some time.
During the whole game neither side
was dangerously close to its oppon-
ent's goal. Baraboo lowered around
the Tomah fifteen and sixteen yard
line on several occasions, while To-
NAH reached the Baraboo twenty-five
yard line few times. Collins, full
back for Baraboo, made repeated
gains through line smashes for dis
tances of five and ten yeards, Hanson
at left half for the locals, was also
good for a gain through the line
when the pigskin was handed to him.
Hawkins at right half was set back
for a heavy loss on an end run so did
not carry the oval SO much as the rest
Of the backfield. The BarabOO line
few occasions and the visitors were
compelled to resort to end runs and
trick plays. Tomah was successful in
one forward pass and made about ten
or fifteen yards. Finnerty, star quar-
terback for the visitors, made the
longest run on either side and nearly
had a clear field for the goal.
This is the first year Baraboo has
come anywhere near holding the To
nah eleven for several seasons and
this year the local eleven might be
placed in a class slightly better than
their Saturday opponents. With
little luck Baraboo would have made
one or two touchdowns Saturday.
When the final whistle blew the ball
was in the middle of the field.
