HOW TO CHECK ACCOUNTS.

When checks come back from the
bank a good way to straighen out ac-
counts for the month is to paste the
checks back on the stubs The return
check is In itself receipt and takes
care OF that part Of the business. The
large checkbOoks having three stubs
on a page are little easier to handle
than the small books. A rubber band
snapped around the returned checks
keeps them from the blank part OF
the book and causes no Inconvenience.

hatred. l knew 1t all now, the dimly
remembered story coming wildly back
to memory. Here then was the ending
OF the one black stain on the family
honor of our race. On this strange
coast, three thousand miles from its
beginning, the final curtain was being
rung down, the drama finished. The
story had come to me In whispers from
others, never even spoken about by
those of our race-a wild, headstrong
girl, secret marriage, duel in the
park, her brother desperately wounded
and then the disappearance of the
pair. Ten days later it was known
that Str John Collinswood had de-
faulted in large sum-but from that
hour England knew him no more. As
though the sea had swallowed them
both, man and woman disappeared
leaving no trace behind.
The face l gazed dumbly into was
drawn and white with pain, yet the
thin lips grinned back at me in savage
derision.

DAYTON, Ohio.--An airplane carry
ing Major r. w. Schroeder, chief test
pilot at McCook field, Friday fell more
than five miles after reaching an al
htude OF 26,020 feet, 5000 feet higher
than the worlds record.
The major was placed in hospital
suffering from shock and temporary
partial blindness. Instruments on tho
machine indicate that it fell five miles
in two minutes. While still 1000 feet
above the ground, the airplane right
ed itself and glided to a graceful
landing. When the plane settled at
tendants who rushed toward it found
Major Schroeder sitting erect in the
machine, apparently lifeless.
For brief time residents OF Day
ton thought comet had appeared in
the sky. They had mistaken the trail
of vapor escaping from the machine
as it sped downward for stranger
in the heavens
Eyes Frozen Shut.
His senses number and his eyes
frozen shut in temperature said to
have been 67 degrees below zero,
Shredder regained partial conscious
ness when 1000 feet above the earth,
in time to right his machine and pre-
vent it from crashing to the ground
out of control.
Thousands of spectators were un-
aware at the time that they were
witnessing drama of the sky"
They saw a speck of black silhouetted
against the blue. to which was at
tached "tail' of grayish color. Grad
ually the object was enlarged as 1t
plunged toward the earth. When only
few thousand feet above them those
watching saw that 1t was an airplane
turning in tailspin. 1t was at this
point that Major Shredder regained
control of his plane and headed 1t to-
ward McCOok field. There he made
safe landing and collapsed He was
blinded and his limbs were numb, de-
spite the electrically heated suit in
which he was encased. When nearly
seven miles above the earth, his oxy-
gen tanks became exhausted, and it
was this which robbed him of CON
seriousness and caused him to fall.
1t was said his blindness will be
only temporary.
New Worlds Record Made.
The instruments on his machine re-
corded the best story OF his expert
ences in his flight to beat the record
of Roland Rihlfs and bring first hon
ors to the air forces of the United
States army. The thermometer reg
istered temperature of 81 degrees
below zero. Altitude figures from
the Paragraph reading indicated
height of $4,000 feet, and when cali
brated by Captain Harrison W. Flick
niger showed an official altitude of
10000 feet, new worlds record
Major Schroeders first altitude rec
ord was made ct Dayton, September
Is, 1918, when he flew Bristol fight
ing machine to an altitude of 28,900
feet
The mark set by Major Schroeder
again gives him the record which
Rohlfs won from him July 80, 1919,
with an official altitude of 10000 feet,
and later increased in a second flight
to 81 1000 feet.

Decides Tax Litigation.

cases entitled the Washington Water
Power company VS.. Kootenai county,
w. A Thomas, treasurer, ct al, and
the Washington Water Power com
pany VS.. Shoshone county, munich

cases, the power company alleging
unjust taxation on it S property in
these counties. In the Kootenai
county case the court grants re-
duction to the power company of
$685. and as the company has paid
$23.0S0 in taxes it still owes the coun-
ty $10,049. In the Shoshone county
case the Judge dismissed the suit,
holding the taxes demanded are not in
excess of fair share of the entire tax
burden.

ment, being based on sound reasons,
was not unexpected. For many years
Holland, like most other countries, has
been an asylum for political offenders.
The allies did not assert that there
had been any violation of any law that
is covered by extradition treaties;
they made their demand on the au-
thority of a treaty to which the Meth
to accede to it would have been vir-
tually to commit a breach of the neu.

Mosaic law and the protection that
criminals sought and obtained in
Greek and other temples are examples
of it. In modern times almost every
government gives asylum to political
refugees from other countries. Revo-
buttons often drive men from home,
and it would be cruel not to receive
them; so the right of asylum is today
public right, sanctioned by general
custom. Carl Schurz came, a refugee,
to the United States and escaping
revolutionaries from almost every
country of Europe have found asylum
here. Our government has never
thought of surrendering them. Even
Great Britain, which now calls for the
kaiser's body, sheltered no less a
criminal than Orsini, who was eventu-
ally executed for trying to kill Ma
polean III, though that was only his
last attempt at assassination.
The moral guilt of the ex-kaiser, or
what punishment he deserves, or what
we think of him or his deeds, are not

the mind of the world has long been
