his sister. was put up to Voyle
Martin. 314 Indiana avenue north

rather take the Jail sentence than
go back to Tennessee. His wish
was gratified.
The complaining sister was Mrs.

seventeen years old, was under her
personal care, the father being
dead: that he was running in bad
company, and she had demonstrated
with him, whereupon he assaulted
her. The trouble grew out of Mar
tin's> expressed determination to

Planet Without Oxygen.

According to the spectroscopic
studies made at the Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory Of the light received from
Venus, no oxygen-absorption lines are
found. This indicates that there is
40 oxygen or water vapor In the outer
atmosphere of Venus, and furthermore
that the reflected light Of the sun
must have penetrated to a consider
able depth.
1t therefore appears necessary to at
tribute the great brightness Of Venus
to some other cause than that of high
reflective power Of water-vapor clouds,
and this apparent absence Of oxygen
must be considered In connection with
speculations as to. the conditions Of
the planet.-Popular Mechanics Mag

We asked many women. One said:
!sBecause q man who thinks things
out, does them and goes all the way
through with anything he starts gen.

an-and nearly always edoesmoke. "
Another replied: "A pipe smoker d
more Of . home man, 1t seems to me.
There d no better picture Of content
ment than man smoking pipe
his home after the days work b done.".
"He Is more honest, more reliable.
more manly" said another-but she
was rather young.
"Pipe-smokers are not 90 jumpy
and fidgety, 80 nervous as non-smok-
ers. They're more easily contented,"s
was the opinion Of one woman.
There were many reasons given by
the fair ladies; some Of them not very
powerful from q logical viewpoint.
The significant feature Of the ques-
tionnaire was that the great majority
Of the women admitted that they do
like pipe smokers.
And just to show that woman Is not
the only illogical Of the two sexes, we
asked . number Of men why they
liked the tobacco they smoked. One
said it was strong enough for him.
Another said it was mild enough for
him-and they were smoking the
same brand. All Of them had some
more or-less indefinite reason for lik-
'ng q certain tobacco, but putting that
