He SAYS Brothers object

Dear Cynthia have been going out
with a nice young man for five months
and all of sudden he stopped coming
down to see me. I couldn't imagine
why. as we got along very nicely. About
three weeks after I didn't see him
met him on the street. He told me that
very good friend of his told him that
he heard my brothers objected to his go.
ing with me. so that IL why he didn't
come to see me any more. I know this
is true, as they have told me the same
but I didn't listen to them.
I asked my brothers IL they passed
this remark outside and they say they
didn't. so what shall I do, as I would
like to have his friendship again? II !
see him again shall tell him II Is lie,
and what shall I say to him? He Is
n perfect gentleman and has the great
est respect for me. Please tell me what
to do as | am terribly worried. ] care
for him a great deal. WORRIED.
Tell him they say they never SAID
anything Of the kind, but do not urge
him to call, as II he wanted to keep up
the friendship he would have gone TO
see you, without doubt. and would not
have minded the likes and dislikes OF
others. IT'S a mistake for n girl to seek
after any man.

Daring of L0cklear, Great Aviator
 Furnished Lessons to Mail Flyers

Chicago, Oct 16.-The reckless aerial acrobatics with which Omer Locklear startled the world until they resulted in his death recently in California have not been in vain, ac- cording to air mail service officials here, for they report Locklear's "stunts" have opened the way for inn portant developments in commercial aviation.
 Locklear's stunt of changing from one plane to another several thous- and feet above the earth, will be copied in the air mail service and by commercial aviation companies in changing sacks of mail, packages o1 pilots from one ship to another, thus enabling aerial liners to make long journeys without landing, officials say. Some believe that within |; short time airplanes may even take gasoline and supplies in the air.
 When one of the mammouth air planes which aviators believe soon will be comon fliers over the control station, smaller plane will come up to meet it, the officials explain, and by means of rope, mail sacks or other packages will be lowered from the large to the small plane. By means of long hook the large ship will take on baggage from the small CT ship and speed on to it's destina- tion.

Life Sentence
 for Song Leader

Aroused to enthusiasm by the good work he had done for them the in- mates of the county work house at New Castle, Delaware, requested that the warden give Emerson Stone, song leader of the Wilmington Community Service, a life sentence in the insti- tuition.
 Warden, keep that guy!" called out one of the prisoners when MT. Stone was about to leave after con ducting "sing" in the workhouse recently. "Give him life. He's too good to get away from this place We want him all the time."
 MT. Stone, formerly a cowboy in Montana arranged with the warden for weekly sings in the workhouse with special Sunday Song services in addition, and he is considering the or ganization of glee clubs and band among the inmates.
 FI was certainly delighted with the music those men made" said Stone to the warden after the first entertainment "There is no reason why we could not organize at the workhouse, with such material, a really fine glee club. w We did that out in Montana where we have the honor system for penal institutions admirably worked out"

STATION AGENT
 FORCED TO QUIT
'' All the Boys at This End of the Line Are
 Talking About My
 Recovery" He Says.

My recovery not only surprised me but all the boys are talking about what great medicine Tanlac is to have pulled me through" said A. E Rawley, telegraph operator on the Welsford Station, on the Canadian Pacific R. R. Mir. Rawley makes his home at Westfield Beach, New Bruns- wick
 My health suddenly gave way four years ago following an attack oi grippe that settled on my stomach ; continued Mir. Rawley. "What ate would sour, causing gas and such a pressure in my chest that would nearly smother. Sharp pains would suddenly strike me in the chest, keep ing me in agony for hours. One day l began vomiting and kept it up al most necessarily for four days. l went to a hospital for three weeks but shortly afterwards got worse than ever. Acute attacks of pain and nausea began coming on me every month, then every week, and lost fifty pounds in weight and had to give up my place as station agent l went to two other hospitals for treatment and took every kind of medicine ] could hear of but l got worse all the time.
 Before my first bottle of Tanlac was gone l noticed decided change for the better. l have taken eight bottles of Tanlac, am feeling fine and able to eat almost anything. I have gained twenty pounds, my stomach trouble is gone and I am working every day. l am gaining weight and strength every day and consider Tan lac the most wonderful medicine ir the world"
 Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff by Brasher's Central Pharmacy, Bobbit X Dancy, and Mcintyre Supply Co. in Altheimer by A. w. Lcake and ir Rison by Boggs Drug Go.

Eventually it is expected that this plan will be perfected so that fue supplies can be transferred from one plane to another, making a non-stor coast-to-coast trip possible.
 Pilots will change planes in mid air by means of rope ladder low cred from one machine to the other just as Locklear did, it is explained
 The government has been conduct. ing tests along this line for some time, officials say, and one commer. clal aviation company is reported tc be planning to put the scheme into effect within few months in trans. ferring mail.
