Mamie Chappelle Emanuel S., a
generation ago was a shining figure on
Broadway who exemplified the art Of
Joy living. He was agent for brand
of champagne which he distributed
freely at dinners which he gave in or
der to introduce people to It, They
had to be people of wealth and social
standing to make II worth while for
him. He earned big money, spent 1t
freely. had a great gift Of companion
ship, which constituted his chief equip
ment for his business, was immensely
popular with the kind of people whose
trade was desirable, and used to boast
that for years at time he never saw
the sun. Daylight In New York wasn't
worth while. Nothing happened. His
wife was Billie Burke's sister. She
divorced him. He has just died, at
the age Of f1fty-6ve. No man had more
good times in his life than he. We
wonder If he was as happy as he made
other people, and doubt 1t. Prohibi
ton knocked out his business. He
found nothing else worth living for

CUSTOMS or GUAM
Islands inhabitants Retain Prim-
tive Manners.
Happy and Careless, Yet With a
Sense Of Industry and Thrift
Farms, as Rule, Guilt
waited by the Family.

The increasing commercial impor-
lance of Guam is illustrated in a re-
cent visit Of the postmaster of Guam,
principal city Of our smallest posses
sion, to the United States In behalf Of
better postal Service for the island.
Curious customs and natural re-
sources Of Guam are described in
National Geographic society bulletin
as follows:
'"The fruit of the common tree (Bar-
ringtonia speciosa) the natives use to
stupefy fish.
"The fruit is pounded into a paste,
lnclosed In bag, and kept over night
Tho time Of an especially low tide is
selected, and bags of the pounded
fruit are taken out on the reef next
morning and sunk in certain deep holes
in the reef. The fish soon appear
on the surface, some of them life
less, others attempting to swim, or
family struggling with their ventral
side uppermost. The natives scoop
them In their hands, sometimes even
diving for them.
"1n the mangrove swamps when the
tide is low, hundreds of little fishes
with protrudlng eyes may be seen hop
ping about In the mud and climbing
among the roots Of the Rhlzophora
and Bruglera. These belong to a
group Of fishes interesting from the
fact that their air bladder has as
sumed in a measure the function Of
lungs, enabling the animal to breathe
atmospheric air.
Men, women and children Of Guam
are expert swimmers, and are as much
at ease In the water as on land. AS
they throw themselves into the sea and
come bounding from wave to wave
they remind one Of dolphins.
According to the testimony Of early
writer's, their houses were high and
nestly made and better constructed
than those Of any aboriginal race hith-
erto discovered in the Indies.
"fhey are a happy, careless peo-
pie, fond Of festivities, dancing, sing
Ing, storytelling and contests Of
strength and skill, yet sufficiently in
duStriOus to cultivate their fields and
garden patches, build excellent houses
for their families, braid mats of fine
texture and construct canoes which
were the admiration of all the early
naglgators. They were much given
to 0uffoonery, mockery, playing tricks,
jes.ing, rnlmicry and ridicule, offering
In this respect striking contrast to
the undemonstrative Malayans.
'The natives of Guam are, as a
rule, Of good physique and pleasing
appearance. Owing to their mixed
blood, their complexion varies from
the white of Caucasian to the brown
OF a Malay. Most of them have glossy
black hair, which Is either straight or
slightly curly. 1t is worn short by
the men and long by the women, either
braided, coiled, or dressed after the
styles prevailing in Manila.
1.-THE people are especially agricultu-
raj. There are few masters and few
servants on the island. AS a rule the
farms are not too extensive to be cul-
tlyated by the family; all the men,
bers, even the little children, lend a
hand"

Knew That Much.

The owner OF house on the South
side had timer to figure on putting
on a new gutter, relates the Indian
apolis News. When the timer gave
him the price on the job the owner
exclaimed, "Why man, would never
pay that price. I'll put 1t on myself,
first"
But now stop and think; you would
have to buy level just to put on that
little piece Of gutter" said the timer.
II don't see where you would save
any money"
This made the owner think. But the
next minute he replied, SAY Don't
you think that have enough brains
to know that all I've got to do is
pour a bucket Of water in that gut
ter. If the water runs out guess the
Job will do"

Rsveransa With Meals.

Drs. r. ]. Miller, o. Bergeim, NJ. r.
Rehfuss and p. B. Hawk of Philadel-
phia, have been testing the effect of
water, tea, coffee and coco on the d.
gestion of meals Of mixed foods. They
report to the American Journal of
Physiology (Baltimore) that one liter
Of cold water, tea, either hot or cold,
or hot coffee drunk with a meal does
not delay the passage of the food from
the stomach, but the addition of sugar
TO the coffee does slightly delay the
process. Coco markedly delays ii.
Coffee, tea and water seem also to
stimulate gastric secretion, but coco
delays 1t, and coffee with sugar and
cream has less effect.

over THE CLOUDS
There Majesty of Aerial Perspec.
tive Can Be Realized.
Writer Describes His Observations on
an AIrplane TrIp-Vlew Not to
Be Compared With That
at Sea Level.

The full majesty of the aerial per-
spective can only be realized, writes
Edward P. Warner In the Yale Re
view, when one Is above the clouds
and the earth is shut off from view.
In flying on an overcast day, when
heavy banks Of cumulus clouds lie at
about 5000 feet, it is possible to ex-
perience within a minute or two ev.
cry degree Of fog and sunshine.
When one is passing into the clouds
the lower surfaces of which are al.
most perfectly fat, there is an in
Simultaneous transition from shadow to
complete atmospheric opacity, SINH
lar In appearance to q dense fog at
the ground but differing somewhat
from 1t In feeling, for the interior Of q
cloud seems to be "drier," the air less
saturated with water vapor, than the
fogs which are met with at sea or
ashore. If the climb be continued a
few hundred feet farther, the airplane
passes again into clear air, but into
air now of clarity and brightness
worthy of Mediterranean skies and
not at all to be compared with that at
sea level.
Above lies an almost cloudless sky,
sky the perfection Of whose azure
tints makes one long for the brush and
the skill of Maxfeld Parrish to make
permanent record where memory
quickly fades and where photography
cannot even suggest. Below, ahead,
and all round, are the cumulus clouds,
but they present very different as
pect from that seen from the ground.
The lower surfaces are fiat and unin-
teresting, but the upper parts are like
colossal pillows which are constantly
changing, rolling, eddying, whipping
to pieces, and forming again. The low.
er surfaces lie In shadow-a fact
which often gives to the most innocent
and fleecy of clouds the threatening
black appearance of thunder heads, "
but the upper surfaces are just
enough shaded In spots by the uneven
ness Of contour to afford relief, so that
they are not utterly dazzling.
The clouds are so sharply defined
against the sky, so Opaque, that 1t is
as difficult to believe that they con-
sist of yielding vapor as 1t is for most
people to believe in the reality Of the
ghosts Of the traditional ghost stories
beings who retain all their earthly
appearance and habiliments yet have
no substance to resist thrust or
blow. A novice In flying is likely to
draw himself together and brace him
self in his seat almost lnvoluntarily In
anticipation of the impact as the air
plane dives at $50 feet a second toward
the white mass ahead, mass which
seems at least as solid as a snowdrift.
There is no impact. no hesitation when
the cloud is reached, but the passen-
ger suddenly realizes that he can no
longer see the blue above, that he can
not even see the wing tips Of the air
plane, though he knows that In a few
seconds he will return to the condi-
lions Of the grouAd jewellers, so far as
their view Of the sky is concerned.

Gasoline Substitute.

Motor alcohol" a substitute for
gasoline, made from molasses on the
Hawaiian sugar plantations, which
has been allowed to run to waste or
burned for the recovery of potash, is
new automobile fuel which It is said
gives more power, greater mileage
easier starting, and more freedom
from carbon than gasoline. Hawaii
has molasses enough available to pro-
duce 100000 gallons of motor al.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

You remember In the last story little

Indeed l WILL" said Puss.
Then follow me-" replied the Gnome
And then Puss jumped through the
window after the little fellow, who ran
swiftly down the walk and across the
fields to the forest beyond. AS they
neared the brook that ran through the
meadow the Gnome paused. Taking from
his pocket a clay pipe, he stopped over
and filled it with water.

asked. taking a piece of soap from an
other pocket and rubbing 1t carefully
around the inside Of the pipe bowl.
Yes" replied Puss; 'lots Of times"
well. you wait and see what sort OF
bubble I'll blow" replied the Gnome.
It was a bubble But the strangest part
was that Puss found himself inside with
his little friend.
How did we get inside. or how did
the bubble get outside OF us?" asked
Puss. but before his question was an
swered away went the bubble up in the
air, across the meadow. above the little
brook, over the castle roof and the big
black forest until II finally settled on the
top OF the great mountain which rose
above a line of misty clouds into the
clear, bright sunlight. Before Puss could
ask how they were ever to get out OF their
bubble balloon the GnOme opened a little
door. through which he led Puss safely
to the outer air. There was a great
change in the temperature. or else the
inside OF the bubble was very warm, for
Puss began to SILVER.

Dear sir-As a citizen Of Indianapolis
and the State OF Indiana, I feel 1t is
high time for the public to awaken
l feel free to congratulate the Indiana
Daily Times for what I call free press,
one that seems to awaken the people,
but the people seem sluggish after they
have been awakened to things that
would call the very lowest down worK

offices to do.
I believe It is time for the public to
see to the man or men who have the
influence and not the authority Of the
State Of Indiana to keep this man Bush
from serving his sentence at the State
Farm, / say that these men should
serve a sentence with him and than be
thrown out Of office and trustworthy men
