THE REASON
T OFTEN get piece of pie,
= Or bread, or even cake,
That's equal to the very best
That mother used to bake.
And mother was famous cook
Known all the country through
For putting up the best of meals
That hungry children knew.
l used to think that modern cooks
Had lost the noble art,
But after long reflection l
Espouse their cause and part.
So when some grouchy man complains
And calls their art in question,
/ know just what the matter is
It's simply Indigestion.

POLICE FORCE ORDERED
TO KILL.

An army of police with orders to
kill any suspicious appearing persons
who failed to comply promptly with
all police orders, was spread through
Chicago recently to combat what is
described by officials as the attempt of
convict labor leaders to rule the city
through murder, fire and terrorism.
The city was said by police author
tiles to be in war times "an occupied
area" with every public building and
a majority of the buildings under con-
struction lin various sections under
guard to prevent carrying out of
anonymous threats to burn the city in
retaliation for the drive of the law
authorities against murders, boinbings
and fires believed to be part of CAM
paign of some labor leaders against
the Landis Building trade wage
award.
A special guard was placed around
the county Jail when reports were re-
ceived that delivery of "Big Tim"
Murphy, Fred; Nader, "Con" Shea and
other labor officials held there on
charges Of murder in the recent era
Of terToTisan, was planned.

FUNNY SITUATION

For quite q. while frequent COM
plants have been made by Frederick
city papers regarding the Western
Maryland Fast Mail train arriving
late at Thurmont and causing Fred
erick mail to arrive late in Frederick.
The H. & F. trolley people cater to the
working class Of people, their earl!
car and the one usually hauling the
early morning mail, hauling many peo
pie to Frederick and getting them
there in time 10 begin work at a.
m. We understand the trolley waits
a certain number of minutes if the
Western Maryland is late, and then
leaves for Frederick. On several .oc-
casions lately this trolley car left
when the Fast Mail was very close to
Thurmont. Seems strange that the
complaint is always directed against
the Western Maryland. Frederick
should determine whether she wants
the mail on time or the people In the
city on time, and then confer with
the trolley people. Big railroads can
not always ~get trains through on
time because of various trains to meet
and the amount of work to be done
at the many stopping points.

NOT ENGLISH WORD

Congress unearthed War Depart
nent secret that remained inviolate
for "a years-the secret of Spanish
American War spy-when it awarded
he Distinguished Service Cross to
Brig Gen. Henry H. Whitney, retired.
News of the honor received at the
Ninth Corps Area headquarters,
brought to light the account of the
exploits which won it.
General Whitney was lieutenant
stationed at Porto Rico in 1898. He
was sent through the Spanish lines
disguised as British sailor, and was
nearly through his task when a Cuban
.senorita, educated in the United
States asked him a question.
"Damfno" replied the supposed
sailor.
"Diable Americana" screamed the
senorita. "He is an American spy;
seize him. British sailors speak not
that word!"
1t was a tight pinch, said the griz-
zled soldier in recounting the adven-
:ure, "but / got out of it."
The information he furnished the
War Department was used by Gen
eral Miles in his campaign in Porto
Rico. Later his report was presented
to President Mckinley personally and
Whitney was detailed to accompany
General Miles on the Porto Rico ex-
peditiOn.

AIRPLANES WITHOUT MOTORS


Lester D. Gardner, of New York,
publisher of Aviation, was asked what
he considered the greatest progress
made in aviation during the past year.
He predicted that next year would
witness airplanes flying without en-
gines.
Soaring flight has been achieved"
he said, "and it only requires more
practice to enable pilot to remain
in the air indefinitely. Airplanes al
ready have remained in the air more
than 20 minutes without power, and
in this tima lost only 40 feet in
height. Soaring planes are flying
abroad and several are under con-
struction in this country, one at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technolo-
gy at Cambridge"
He likened the flying of the eagle
and buzzard to the plane of the fu-
ture. "These birds often are watched
with fascination as they fly at will,
without apparently moving a wing"
he said.
"The new airplaines without en-
gines are the result of the discovery
of new wing forms. Soaring planes
are not gliders that lose height con-
stantly and are kept up by the wind.
They utilize a new principle of flight
by what might be termed riding the
gusts. They can fly into the wind,
across the wind and with the wind,
gaining altitude given proper weather
conditions, and are like the seagull
and condor, that remain motionless in
the air and seem to defy all laws of
nature.

in roaming through the mountains

of experiences gilmore or less moment.
Last Sunday, with young puppy as
sole companion, he visited the neigh
borhood of Gum Spring. At one
time the doglet became interested in
an object lying on the ground, which
resented the intrusion upon its privacy
by sounding its warning, to which the
puplet paid not the slightest heed. A
second warning was sounded before
Mr.. Wissler was able to overcome his
friends curiosity and kill the rattler.
