SHORT SKIRTS SET HORSE IN
 A TANTRUM.

Philadelphia, June 19.-Jno. Mon teith, a junk dealer at 442 South Colorado Street, has a horse that objects to short skirts.
 Monteith was arrested when he galloped past 9 trolley car on Chestnut Street.
 Arrajgned before Magistrate Rem shaw in the city hall police court John said it wasn't his fault; but that of his horse.
 Judge, couldn't help. My horse was in a tantrum and l couldn't stop him. He's one of the quietest animals in the world in South Phil adelphia, where I live, but as I drive him to the center of the city he goes crazy"
 What seems to be the cause?" queried the astonished magistrate.
 "I think. it must be the short skirts. He don't see many of them down town, but when he gets north of Walnut street he just gets plain loco"
 "That horse appears to be almost human," was the judges comment as he discharged Monteith and warned him to keep down town when driving.

SURGERY IS BUT LITTLE
 CSANCED SINCE STONE AGE

Chicago, June 20.-Stone age sur geons had the right dope on how to treat a headache. They simply battered a hole in the skull of the sufferer in order to let out the evil spirit. If one hole was not sufficient, others were made. It was most effective cure for head- aches, but the patients usually died.
 Prof. Roy L. Moddle, of the anat- omy department of the University of Illinois, says these vents in the skull ordinarily were about the size of a silver half-dollar. Skulls of neolithic men of Peru, Mexico, France and the South Sea Islands show that some times as high as six of these vents were made in the skull of a sufferer. Prof. Moddle says this treatment still is employed among certain tribes in the high lands of Peru and Bolivia and in Northern France. The operations are performed on men, women and children without regard to age or sex. Instead of applying anesthetics, the surgeon has assistants sit on the body of the patient to keep him or her still while he chisels the hole in the skull with a stone chisei and mallet.

San Francisco, and asked her to go along. Mrs. Faulk accepted pronto.
 W. W. Williams, formerly of the Royal Flying Corps of Canada, who acts as pilot, had the motor turning over when the two women, dressed m flying togs, reached the Marina. As soon as the women had taken their seats he stepped on the throt- tie and the big Standard J-1 plane with Curtis K-6 motor was on it's way.
 Mrs. Keddie, who acts as mana ger of her various ranches and calls Fallon, New, her home, pur- chased the machine some time ago to fly between her various ranches. She found 1t so successful that when she found it necessary to re- turn to Reno in hurry she tele- graphed to Falion for the machine and stayed another day in San Francisco, finishing up. business af- fairs.
 Landing fields have been built at each ranch and a system of light Hls HdS DeeH lnStalleQ so that nlgnC landings can be made. She has attempted only few night flights, but she says she enjoys them quite as much as. day flying.
 Mrs. Keddie expects to leave Reno soon to make quick tour of her properties. Later this summer she expects to fly by easy stages from San Francisco to New York.
 The trip just made is the first on record in which two women flew over the summit, the high range between California and Nevada. Only one other woman is known to have taken the same trip by air plane.
 Like it?" said Mrs. Keddie. "Of course do. Who wouldn't? I wouldn't go back to railroad trains and their fussy stops at tank towns for water or automobiles, with their habit of getting stalled, for any thing-unless, you know, couldn't go by aeroplane."

RondO Short Course
 FS Decided Success


 The two days short course held here the and 8 by our efficient home demonstration agent and her able co-workers, was the most sue cessful as we'll as profitable ever held at this place, and was thor oughly enjoyed by all present. There were 70 enrolled in two days. As a rule demonstrations of this kind call for things you haven't and can not get in little rural community Ike thls, but not so with this. It taught you how to utilize what you have, therefore, teaching econ omy and thrift. For who is it that doesn't want well-filled table?
 The first morning the demonstra- ton was started by serving eggs in six different ways, also making cream sauce and with what to serve 1t, together with several other dishes. The noon hour having arrived, lunch was spread and needless to say this feature was very much en- joyed by all. In the afternoon a demonstration was made as to how to set a table and serve meal properly.
 On the night of the 7th we were to nave moving pictures on Home Identification" but Miss Hudson was unable to get this picture, so showed home canning and drying with other home helps. On the morning of the 9th we were shown how to make bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls and Swedish tea rings, old fashioned beaten biscuit and the home meal in steam pressure cooker. Perhaps this was the big gest feature of the whole short course to the men-or would seem so to have seen them gather around the cooker to see the old rooster removed, and to their disappoint- ment he was perfectly tender, 'hav- ing been cooked in forty-five min- utes, feat few believed could be accomplished in that length of time.
 The men and children stayed and lunched with us and from the way they seemed to enjcy it, we are sure they hope we will have these courses often.
 In the afternoon a perfect dress form was made for Mrs. T. c. Wooten. The material cost $1.00 and is made your exact figure. Any lady wanting one can obtain mater ial for same through the club. This ended our two days short course and we feel that it is one of the best things the ladies of Rondo have ever had come their way.
 It was great pleasure to have our district agents with us and we feel we have profited by their coming and hope they will come again.
 We are looking forward to a demonstration in canning meat this fall.-Reporter.
