Foolish Stunts Of The Aviator.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: would
not attempt to write an article
for publication on the hazardous
feats and stunts of the acrobat,
but will give your readers brief
sketch of what saw on Labor
Day at the Michigan State Fair,
held at Detroit. In the presence
of 250,O00 spectators from the
grand stand and on the air
grounds, number of huge air
planes like flocks of swift eagles,
circled for all hour over the great
throng, much to their delight,
but ended with a horrible TRACE
dy. Miss Ethel Dare, the 1S year.
old aviatrix, succeeded in trans
ferring from her plane to one a.
bove her, by jumping and catch
ing to d rope ladder suspended
from the plane. She performed
many and hazardous feats in mid
air and landed upon the aviation
field in perfect safety.
Mr.. Tinney, head of the troupe
of Aerialists, arose from t h e
field in his great plane and made
six futile attempts to perform
the feat of the young lady, while
the two flying planes world cir
Gle back over the grand stand for
another thrilling attempt.
Mr.. Tinney would play such
hazardous and exhaustive tricks
as hanging by his teeth, from a
rope suspended from a plane,
hanging head downward, an d
holding with one hand to the rope
as the plane swept in position for
another attempt to transfer to
the plane flying above him. He
hurried back and stood poised
on the top wing of his plano,
probably tired andmuch exhaus-
ted from his acrobatic tricks
in mid air, he made the seventh
attempt to catch the swinging
rope ladder from the plane above
him. his feet caught in some
small cords on his plane which
resulted in downward plunge
of five hundred feet to certain
death. AS he came tumbling over
and over in the air, a deep .groan
went up'from the scores of thou
sands peering from below.
Miss Dare says the tragedy
has not affected her nerves in the
least and that she expects to go
right on fulfilling her contract
with the State Fair management.

$4,000 Women 10 Vote In North Carroll.
na This Year.

There will be at least $4,000
women voters in North Carolina
in the November election, in the
opinion of Attorney General J. S.
Manning, who believes the coun-
ty boards of elections should be-
gin Immediately working on
plans for the registration of this
large number Of women who will
cast their ballot for the first
time. The Attorney General be-
lieves the precincts should be d.
vided in the large communities,
the cities and towns and subur-
ban districts where the present
precincts carry a pretty large
numbers of voters on the books
now.
The county board of elections
have the right to do this without
any authority from the state bd.
of elections or any other election
authority, for the matter of pre-
cincts and their distribution is
left entirely in the hands of the
county boards. An investigat-
ion of the situation that will prob
ably result from the increase in
the number Of voters by approx
imately so per cent should be
made in the near future and the
machinery set up for the regis
tration of the women. Judge
Manning believes that no pre-
cinct should have more than 450
votes because of the handicap
which the larger number pre-
sents to the judges of election
when they begin to count up.
The passage of the election ma
chinery bill, while not absolutely
necessary, says the attorney gen
eral, will save the judges and reg
istrars a great deal of trouble in
that it makes clear the intention
of the law regarding the regis.
tration of women. Judge Man
ming does not think the women
would have had to pay capita
tion tax under the present law,
for they would have been in the
same position as the young voter
just reaching his majority, who
has not been required to pay
poll tax before the election. The
women would not have had to pay
the tax, but the Scales Bill makes
this proposition of the law clear
and leaves no room for interpre
tation and saves the election BIDS
the necessity of sending out nu
merous letters of instructions.

Disagreement in the League of Ma

Argentina's withdrawal from the

THINKING IN STRAIGHT LINES
That 10 Simple Formula, That Com
= prises the Whole Secret of Think
= .>y inc Successfully.

| "A straight line is the shortest dis
lance between. two points" Every
high-school boy learns to repeat this
axiom. If more of them learned to
think it we would have a greater sup
ply Of executive ability. For in; these
short tens words,s embodied I'm every
geometry book!siis concealed the big
secret Of success that most of us
spend all our&lives trying to find.
Thinking in straight lines is the Sc
cret to thinking successfully. After
the plan is made the execution Is
easy. So in planning department sys-
tens or in passing judgment upon
Systems that others have planned the
first and big step is to apply to every
move that we make the philosophy
that is involved in this often.repeated
and often-forgotten axiom.
Let me call attention first to the
fact that this axiom presupposes two
points: Before you can draw your
straight line you must know definitely
and accurately r; where these two
points are. Y0u must know your
starting point and the objective that
you wish to reach. Many people at
tempt to draw their paths Of prog.
ress without knowing definitely from
where they start or to where they
want to 60. That is why so many
personal and business progress lines
are zigzag spirals and labyrinths that
|. do not get, an5a .s-John Van De-
venter, in Industrial 4't Management,
