AirpIane Muffler.

. Like all healthy youngsters, the air
plane Is noisy affair. Propeller and
engine unite to produce roar that al
ways make conversation difficult, and.
in time of war, supplies to keen

pending danger. Designers are seeking
to mitigate the evil, and so far, though
unable to deaden the "whir" Of the
propeller, have produced numerous
featherwelght mufilers to silence the
engine exhaust. The attachment has
now passed the experimental stage,
says the Popular Mechanics Magazine,
in an illustrated article, showing a

TO rapid vibrations of the wings, which

Chinese Shoes.

The Chinese are gradually ADOPTING
the European style Of footwear. At
the present time, almost 40 per cent
Of the footwear In China Is reported
to be of European style. Domestic fac
tories of which Canton has twenty,
Hongkong five and nearly every port
of China at least one, are chiefly for
the manufacture Of the red leather
used for the soles of the native shoes.
The uppers of native shoes are gener'
ally made from cloth or an imitation

Denrens In CONNIE rec.

Commercial education Is to receive
new impetus at the University of Lon
don, where degrees In commerce are to
be inaugurated In the near future.
There are to be two degrees: First,
that Of bachelor of commerce. which
would correspond to the same degree
In the other faculties, and, secondly,
the degree Of master of commerce. The
salient idea Is that modern language
is to be taught, not as an academic,
but MS practical subject, says the
United States bureau of education.
Among the languages which are to be
taught rs practical rather than AGA
der$c subjects would be Polish, Czech,
Rumanan, modern Greek, and the
great eastern languages, Hindustani,
Chinese and others.

Slave Traffic Still Exists.

Slave traffic along the Arab coast Is
Illegal under the terms OF certain CON
ventions, but slavery, nevertheless, Is
said stlll to exist to Il rather consider
able extent. A few years ago men,
bers OF the American Arabian mission
at Bahrein rescued whole boatload
Of black boys who had been struggled
up from Africa for sale along the
Oman coast. In the Interior towns
slaves are used mostly as personal
servants, bOdyguards and hosters. BY
an old law in Arabia, n slave IS freed
after seven years of Service, provided
he has embraced the M0slem religion,
and 1t Is said that most Of the slaves
do so. There Is no prejudice against
marriage with blacks In Arabia, espe-
clally after they are freed. This In
tcrmarrage has scattered a black pop
uation all over Arabia. In ports like
Muskat and Alden mulattoes and mixed
breeds are so common that the pure
Arab strain is almost rarity.

Whiskey Still Is
Found Operating

Modern Homo Methods: The
men cook and tho women make the
booze.
At least that is what Sheriff Lewis
Worker and couple of United States
revenue officers found as an existing
condition ut a ranch home over in
Otero county sonth of Fowler on
Monday of this week, according to
their reports on returning and the
evidence they had in possession.
The officers went to farm house
and found the husband busily en-
gagged in cooking a meal. T!.ey
made a little further search and
found Mrs. j. P. Puritt, of the house
hold, in another house not far away,
where, the officers state, she had n
whiskey still in perfect operation
and was turning out the real
goods" The officers took some Of
the whiskey, little of the mash and
the still and emptied the balance of
the refreshments. What stuff wes
confiscated was taken by the revenue
officers to Denver. No further dis
position of the case was made at
the time but 1t is quite likely that

Confession Opens
Up a Sensation

Fl b. Millhouse paid fine of 500.
ON Wednesday of this week. on enter
ing a plea of guilty to the charge of
having unlawful possession OF whis-
key. The case was before Judge w
S. Breneman's Justice court.
Growing out of this charge and
plea of guilty there will likely be
some startling information which
may lead to the arrest OF very
prominent Otero county citizen and
Il charge of "moonshing" whiskey
placed against him. When Mill
house was arrested and whiskey
found in his possession he made
clean confession and divulged some
thing the Crowley county officials
and the federal revenue officers had
suspicioned for some time. 1t was
believed by the officers that NEIL
house had still in operation and it
was while searching for it that the
whiskey was found. the officers hav-
ing proof that he had bought a still
some time ago. When they found
the whiskey Millhouse told the ofiic-
ers that he did not have II, but that
he had sold 1t to a certain person in
Otero county, and that the person is
n very well known resident of that
county. In Justice court Sheriff
Worker asked lienency for Mill
house because of his frank and open
confession and as result the fine
was made light.

Three Of County S.
Districts Vote To
Centralize Work
Crowley, King Center ard Bob
Creek Join Forces in Modern
and Highly Successful Meth
cd of Rural School New
Consolidation First In Ar
kansas Valley.

A consolidated school in
Crowley county is to be a re-
ality, in the combining of three
districts, Crowley, King Center
and Bob Creek, known as dist
ricts No. 30, No. Fl and No. IL.
This was finally settled at
the special school district cleo
tion held on Monday OF this
week in the Bob Creek district
when the vote resulted in So of
the 20 votes favoring the con-
solidation of schools. The vote
at King Center on Friday OF last
and of 2S opposed to IL.
1t was only few weekk ago
that the plan of consolidated
school was generally advocated
and the campaign, while IL last
ed, was a very spirited one,
very few favoring the propos-
ition at the outset. AS the cam
paign progressed the plan was
made more clear and by the time
the elections came to hand there
were great many out working
for IT who opposed 1t in the be
ginning. The pl;.n of consoA
ldation in other places and other
states was put before the patrons
of the various districts and the
numerous good features Of the
centralized system made clear
and in this way those who had
previously known little OF such
Capitalization could sec well
how the system could be 80 ed
mirably handled in such school
districts as Crowley, King Cent
er and Bob Creek.
This centrelized OF consoli-
dated school will be one of the
first In southeastern Colorado
and the first of its kind
in the Arkansas valley. Such
systems are not experimental.
Wherever 1t had been adopted it
has proven excellent in every
way, with the possible exception
of very few isolated cases.
Crowley will be the site OF the
big consolidated SCHOOL, being
very centrally located. taking all
things into consideration. ond
moreover, Crowley has fine
new school building TO start the
centralized school on its early
career in way which will fully
accommodate the pupils OF tho
three districts. However. there
will be big new school build
ing grow out of the present one.
