AIRPLANES MAY AID ELoPERS
Science Seems to Have Given Sweet hearts Another Way tt Trick
 Their Irate Parents.

Will modern lovers elOpe by air?
 It is on record that at least one en- terprising couple have made such an attempt. Unfortunately the plan was nipped in the bud owing to unforeseen circumstances. But there is little req son to doubt that before long aerial Don Juans will soar away with their fair burdens.
 It Is interesting to recall the vari Ous means of efrecting elOpements. They are as old as time. First they aid of a rowing boat to help cross a river. Horses, too, were in great de mand and many a happy maid rode billion snatched away from under the very eyes of her irate parents. Later came the coach to aid Romeo and Juii- ct and what agallant "my love against the wOrld' air 1t added to the romance Trains and automobiles have also played their part in '1Ove's young dream" but the future "stunt" will be to elope by airplane.
 The airplane wOoer will have to be on his guard against the vigilance of the law which has already found the flying machine useful in the execution of justice. Thus a policeman in Los Angeles attempted to arrest a Jap anese aviator for debt. The man promptly flew off while the policeman gave chase in an automobile. The pursuit continued until the aviator was compelled to come down through lack l of gasoline.
 A somewhat similar occurrence took place in Florida. A negro serv- ant in 8 fashionable hotel stole a very valuable brooch. He ran away but de- tectives discovered, by means of wire less, that he was on board a ship off Bermuda. The vesSel was delayed a few days off the coast while 1t was decided to bring him back by hydro plane, the machine being offered by Harold Mccormick. The owner, ac- cOmpanied by a detective, acted as pilot. In few minutes they were alongside the ship, the thief was ar rested and taken back a prisOner.- Sydney Levy in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Gifts DoubIy Useful.

"The most useful gift is the hook able one," philosophical uncle" as he dusted off the pledges. "FOr the past month or more we have been getting in the presents from the holiday sea son. the ones for which there was no use first. Now, as hard times begin to pinch, we are getting in more"
 Watches head the list, according to the pawnbrOkers. The little ivory clock sent to the boy living in the hallroom of the boarding house Is of use in tiding over tight week ends. Girls bring in their wrist watches ana trinkets and explain in detail just what the circumstances are that force this last resort. That many new GUS toners are being created was evi- deneed by the manner in which they approached the shops. They enter cautiously and should there be an- other customer inside. try to whisper their wants and are reluctant to show the article carried.

Now Believe London Is Dead

The Danes are at last convinced that Jack London is dead. A rumOr had been widely circulated among them to the effect that the American author was living a secluded life on South sea island and would not emerge until he had finished a mOmentous novel. A young Dane returned to Copenhagen the other day, fresh from San Fran cisco. He said he had taken walk with Mrs. Jack London, near the Lon dOns' California home. Coming to a boulder, he leaped over it. Mrs. Lon don said: Do you know what you have just done?" The Dane confessed his ignorance. "You have jumped over my husbands grave" she said. The Dane apOlogized for his seeming lack of respect, took the next train for South Brooklyn, and embarked on the Oscar II for the Danish capital, where he related his experiences. Jack Lon dOn's Danish publisher, Herr Martin, said: ''I never did quite believe that rumOr."-NeW York Evening Post.

And Now the "Finaue-Hopper." :"

That section of Manhattan called the AcrOpOliS of America, extending from Riverside drive to Morningside Park. has a new designation for ultra-mOdern girls" -"finale-hOppers." They are the young women who are a year ahead of the present or think they are doing now what the rest of their sex will be doing at some time in the future.
 A tinaIe-hopper Is never in style. She is-a trailblazer pathfinder. She an ticipates style. As soon as what she is doing is taken up and adopted by the crowd she drops it and turns to something else that is absolutely new. That applies to music, art, dancing, dress and even slang. She is ever on the still hunt for anything fresh that has never before been done or knOwn.-RaymOnd G. Carroll, in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Charlie felt real thrill as he LOOK down the telephone number. Was the girl telling him the truth? Would he ever see her again? He devoutly hoped that he would.
 For some little time they raced out into the country. Abruptly the girl turned into a side road and moment later stopped before a deserted look ing house.
 "This is the place." said the girl.
 "What next?" smiled 0halrie.
 "I-I don't know" said the girl. 'Oh, I wish was out of 1t. T."
 She turned to Charlie with a queer look in her eyes. What was she think ing off What was behind this queer adventure?
 Charlie had slight time to speculate on these questions. Almost on the in- stant the car was surrounded by ten or a dozen silent, black-masked men. A burly individual, who seemed to be the leader, beckoned to Charlie to step out. Charlie looked at the girl. Her face was averted. For a moment he hesitated and fear caught at his heart Then the burly leader caught at him and pulled him from the car.
 Once Charlie was out of the car he was immediately blindfolded, bound and gagged. Then he was pushed for ward.
 Some one struck him in the face Charlie lurched forward, angry and puzzled. Some one hit him in the back. Now thoroughly aroused Charlie be- gan fighting roughly. No one fought back. Silence still prevailed. Then some one tripped him. Charlie fell, saw a million stars and went into unconsciousness.
 When Charlie finally came to him, self he found his bonds were less tight than he had expected. He managed to get them off and remove the blindfold and gag. He was lying on the ground in front of the deserted house. No one was visible.
 Slowly and painfully Charlie got to his feet and started walking toward town. Through his mind just one question seethed and tortured him. Had the girl told him the truth, or would he never see her again?
 Some days later a bunch of Charities friends gave him a dinner on the occasion of his birthday. The toast master was Ed Cunningham, a burly individual.
 Here's to Charlie" said Ed, when 1t came time for the tOasts. "He wanted excitement and we gave it to him. Charlie, your luck hasn't turned yet. The gang that gagged you and roped you and bl1ndfOlded you was this bunch. There isn't any excitement in life for you yet. The mysterious girl was only my sister Grace"
 Charlie rose slowly to his feet while the crowd laughed and cheered. Char lies face was flushed, his eyes spark ling.
 'Tm not kicking at what you fellows did," he said. q simply want to say my luck has changed. I've never been so excited in my life as I have been recently. I've never been so thrilled as I am today,
 This statement seemed to surprise the crowd. For a moment there was silence
 "How's that, Charlie?" querled Gun ningham. ''Tell us about it."
 Its simply this," Charlie respond ed. "I've fallen in love and today the girl promised to marry mel"
 "WhO's the girl?" cried the crowd.
 Its Grace-Ed Cunninghams sis ter" said Charlie and smiled.

fhusiasm.
 ''Tn show these folks do know 8 thing or two about women, after all, D said Ben.
 Ben still wore smile on the fol lowing Monday when he was once more in Mrs Ferguson's house.
 Ben" said Mrs. Ferguson, "I don't want to discourage you. but I'm afraid It's all ofr. l don't believe you've got any chance at all for Alice"
 Ben puffed slowly at his cigar with out showing much perturbation.
 ''Wny not?' he asked, at last.
 Brahms house will be finished soon and he's telling around he'll soon be taking his bride there. You know what that means?"
 Yes" said Ben, unperrurbed. "It means nothing at all"
 ''Why?' demanded Mrs. Ferguson.
 Because" said Ben. "he doesn't un- darStNnd women. Last Saturday took Alice to see little bungalow I told her friend of mine was putting up. It's a neat little place--just the right size for young couple. Plenty of labor saving devices-just the sort of house that frail girl like Alice would love to be in. Do you think a great big house like Brahms has any chance at all beside little bungalow like that? Don't you think any girl would prefer to marry a. man who thought so much of her that he wanted to give her a tiny, easy-to-take-car-Of place, instead of a great big house where she'd be burlened tO death?
 Ben smiled at his old nurse as he said this. He saw her eyes glisten with delight.
 And the bungalow isn't your friends at all ," cried Mrs. Ferguson deliglIedly. "It's yours. And you equipped it all ready to move in and then showed It to Alice for sur prise
 Ben smiled blandly
 Not at alI," he said. "It really does belong to 8 friend of mine!"
 But. don't get the idea," ex- claimed Mrs. Ferguson, greatly pug. zled.
 1lOnl you ScS, HS cAIIdAuCu, showed the house to her so 1 could tell her it was my idea of the sort of house she'd like To live in. But l didn't make the mistake of springing the whole completed job on her. Not at all! Why, one of the biggest things in any woman's life Is planning the sort of a home she wants to live in, and actually seeing 1t go up! Remem- Der that Brahm has put up his house 10 suit himself-tO please himself and no one else in the world! Do you think Alice will ever marry him nOw?"
 No, I don'tv exclaimed Mrs. Fer gusOn emphatically and joyfully.
 And Alice didn't marry Brahm. She's Mrs. Ben Underwood now, and very happy, indeed, in a little bunga- low of her own designing, which is the envy of all her friends and rela- lives for it's comfort and coziness.
 Which goes to prove that Ben really knew what he was talking about when he said he understood wOmen-the one woman, at least, in whom he was par interested.

Didn't Want to Hear From c. o.

Maintaining discipline among One's superiOrs during the war sometimes called f@r the best quality of resource fulness and tact among telephone men Peter Lambert Schauble relates such an instance in 'The First Battalion the story of the Four Hundred and Sixth Telegraph battalion.
 "The city of Langres was under strict military discipline, and Gallo of E company was left there with Mac Ronald of D to operate the switch board. Air alarms kept their hands full. It was GallO's duty on such Oc- casions to call up different officers to have them put out all lights. At one time an officer resented the instruc- tiOnS. "Who are your" he demanded.
 "This is the chief operator. 1 am instructed to have that light put out, '' said Gallo.
 "Well, who in h-l gave you those instructiolNs?" from the officer.
 ''The commanding general, sir. Just a moment, I will connect you with him."
 "No, no, never mind; I'll put the d-d light out," and up went the re- ceiver.

Bird HeIpIessness.

Eminent naturalists have pointed out that certain of natures most active creatures show strange helplessness under certain conditions. Place a vul. ture in a pen six or eight feet square entirely open at the top and the bird will be absolutely a prisoner as if lt were dramatically sealed in the in. closure. This Is due to the fact that vultures never begin flight from the ground without starting on a run of three or four yards. If they cannot have that preliminary run they either cannot or will not attempt to fly and so a vulture will remain prisoner for life in a jail with no top.

Superstition Among French People.

Superstition Among French People
 That superstition and belief in witchcraft and sOrcery are not dead in France was shown the other day in the case of young Parisian girl, who, acting on the advice of fortune teller, buried calf's heart in a wOm- ans grave in order to recover the af- lection of her faithless lover.
 In the provinces such cases are common. There are villagers who are pOpularly believed to cast spells over their neighbOrs; maglclans and sor- cerers in the back valleys of the Loire and on the lonely Landes of Brittany who wield mysterious power and call up unseen forces of good or evil to sooth or terrorize the peas ants.
 Frequently French superstition finds comfort in "good spirits" in the form of magicians who are learned in the art of discovering buried treasure or of healing the sick. They are reputed to hold converse with the spirits of the departed and are consulted by their neighbors on family affairs like wills or marriages just as the Oracles were consulted in ancient times.

Not So Many MarYs.

Mary as a Christian name Is not so popular as 1t was few years ago. Reports from the different districts of the British Isles and in the DOmin- ions show that in many cases the name Mary is absent even in large house holds, which always used to have al least one. Among school children the average was found to be only eight Marys out of every 100 girls.

Remarkable carNInn.

San Franciscans are paying homage to one of the most remarkable wooden statues ever received, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. It is the work of Hananuma Masakichi, greatest Jap anese artist in wood or ivory, who posed for himself by the aid of ad- unstable mirrors and carved his own Iife-sized image from wood. The hair on the figure is the artists own. He used the clippings from his head and heard, boring tiny holes for the hairs and setting them in place one by one. The figure is in every particular, even the most minute, an exact counter part of the artist. The carving re- quired three years, even to so adroit and masterly workman as Masakichi
