Exciting Air. Voyage.

A French soldier, dashed to the
swinging anchor of 4 military
sausage" balloon, landed in an open
field about ten miles from Augers,
France, few days ago, according to
an exchange. He was the only pas
senger, and he was safe and sound,
and his craft was unchanged. The
soldier was carried aloft when the
cables snapped earlier in the day as
preparations were being made for a
parachute flight. The balloon, when
last sighted by one Of the squadron
of airplanes that had pursued it in
an effort to save the soldiers life was
bound seward, and it was feared that
the soldier might be waited thither
before he could bring the ship to
earth. A change in air currents saved
him. The soldier crawled hand over
hand to the anchor, to which he dashed
himself fast. His dangling figure dis
appeared from view of those on the
ground. but just before dusk he waved
his handkerchief at the pilot of one of
the pursuing airplanes, which could
not get close enough to save him
without further endangerfng his life.

FRENCH HOLD TO NEST EGGS
Almost Every Household Hes Some
Kind Of Hoard Slowed Away for
: an Emergency.

To arrive at the undoubted financial
strength Of France you must first un-
derstand that In every country there
are two kinds Of fiscal life. One per-
tains to government income and expen-
diture, the ether to what might be
called private money-that is, the re-
sources Of the citizens. A country
may be Broke and at the same time
have immense potential wealth.
This Is precisely what is happening
In France. Government finance is rid
Ing on rocky road, but the great
mass Of the people still have their
nest eggs. Thrift, as every one knows,
Is instinct with the French. Those
who have had experience with French
penuriousness maintain that the
French make Of thrift vice.
Save for investment in government
bonds the average French man or
woman delights to keep his or her
fortune in actual cash. During the
war they risked death to 60 back to
ruined f1resides to dig up their pre-
cious boards. The result is that France
has more real gold and silver slowed
away in stockings and old pots than
any other country Government finan-
cial crises may come and 60, but this
huge reservoir Of savings-the bull.
wark Of the natton-goes on forever.

estimates given by the association
which, according to the audit report
Of the Bishop, Brissman company, was
81 percent less than actual cost as
nearly as the actual cost can be figur-
ed. The net loss to be sustained by
tie state through the Home Building
association would be in the neighbor-
hood of $250,000 to $275,OOO on the
Sd houses constructed.
In the case of Mr.. Wallace, Judge
Pugh holds the house should cost
Wallace $6,11O.75. The cost of the
house as given by the association was
$11 ,72O.45. No questions of law are
decided in the case it is indicated in

lawyers, the matter of the right of
the parties to contract for the build
ing of house in excess of the cost of
$4,000 as provided in the law not be-
ing raised, as the state had contended
there was no contract.
A great part of the cost of the
houses as fixed by the association
came through the distribution of
$4,000 expended for materials which

'Mr. Balfour came out Of his big
yellow house In Carlton House terrace

his motor car bore held him up.
1.-THE bore talked to him about Ire

distributed proportionately to all the

In the case of Fossum Judge Pugh
holds he should have the house for
$4,000, less credits. The cost to tho

"There is also same testimony re-

stock, materials and millwork,'' saH
Judge Pugh, "the state having entered

DO TO ToMBs FOR SHELTER
Citizens Of Rome Forced to Take Up
Their Abodes In Mausoleums
and Coliseumo. r

Roman antiquities are now being
put to utilitarian purposes by modern
Italians In Rome. The high cost Of
living and crowded fats has driven
some Of the hard-pressed Romans into
the ancient mausoleums, royal baths
and coliseums for shelter. Tourists
are beginning to feel they are intrud-
ing into the tenements Of Roman pau.
pers, not the final resting places Of
Roman kings. Along the ancient Via
Nomentana modern fiat dwellers seek
escape where once the plebeians fed
from servitude. Here a party Of
Psychologists instead Of mobiles reclin-
ing in their tombs, found a buxom
mother frying ham for her hungry
bambino. Neither the ancient nor
modern tenants complain of the lack
of the latest improvements. The tomb
IL made homelike with chairs, bed and
stove. A sarcophagus In the middle
chamber holds the family washing,
while hams are strung across niche
where stands the statue of a Roman
dignitsry. While inspecting a reser-
voir 1900 years old, party of tour
lists found a woman with four children
basking before the entrance of cave.
She said she was stonemason's wife,
who settled there because she could
find no quarters in Rome. She took
in roomers to meet the costs Of up
keep. These were four workmen, who
slept on lodges cut in the rock. Lodg-
ing-house keepers prefer the reser-
voirs; but families find greater priva-
cy In the catacOmbs.

TAX PAYERS TO

STATE HOMES

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2.-The the
DRY Of contract, advanced by persons
for whom houses were built by the
Home Building Association of North
Dakota, that verbal agreement as
to the cost of the houses is binding is
held to be correct by District Judge
Thomas Pugh of Dickinson, in the
cases against George E. Wallace
former state tax commissioner, and c.
o. Fossum, for whom houses were
built in Bismarck. The case will be
appealed to the supreme court by the
association.

RENVILLE MAN
SUICIDES BY
EATING POISON

Lorraine, N. D., Aug. 2.-John j.
Powers, resident Of North Dakota
since 1886, committed suicide by eat
ing gopher poison, coroner's jury
found in investigating his death
which occurred Monday at his home
near here. He founded the Village of
Donnybrook. The funeral will be
held Saturday either here or at
Mohall.
Mr.. Powers left Memphis, Tenn,
when it was being besieged by naval
forces Of the north and moved with
his parents to St. Paul. He was in
Minnesota when the Indian Mass
acres occurred.
The first stop in his next north
ward migration was the site of Devils
Lake. From there he went to Fort
Geary, where Winnipeg, Man., now
stands. A street of that city is nam
ed in his memory.
He bought the first lot to be sold
in Minot where he settled in 1886.
Leaving Minot, he established a
sheep ranch on White Earth rive,
near the site Of the present city Of
Powers Lake. The lake was named
after him by James ]. Hill. Later
he homesteaded on the site of the
present city of Donnybrook, which
he founded. He was actively engag.
ed in farming near Lorraine, N. D., at
the time Of his death.
Mr.. Powers possessed fund OF
anecdotes of frontier days, which he
declared the best period Of his life,
It was he, who when the fires was
raging in Minot May 10, 1887, blew
up the buildings on what is now the
international bank corner, and in SO
doing saved a part of the town from
being destroyed.

HOUSES NOW SHOT FROM GUN
Concrete Construction Surely May 30
Said to Have Reached the Limit
s. In This Idea.

shooting" houses out Of "gun"
is the latest wrinkle in concrete con.
struction, writes Cleveland Gaines in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
gun consists Of nozzle-like affair at
the end Of a 3-inch hose. Dry concrete
is put into a container and water
forced through it. The mixture is thus
made at the last moment before It is
applied.
In building the first Of the houses in
this fashion one-sided framework
Of tar paper and chicken wire was
erected. Iron reinforcing rods were
placed against this and the concrete
shot against 1t with the use Of a gun.
A wall two inches thick was "shot'
In this way, allowed to dry, and the
tar paper and chicken wire peeled of.
The result was a solid concrete wall.
Doors, windows and plumbing were
put In place and the wall shot around
them.
In similar fashion ceilings, floor, a
fence around the yard and other parts
Of the house and yard were shot.
Seats were shot into the wall at one
place, decorative designs in another,
and 80 on. The resulting house and
yard was a complete home in one
piece-a monolith.
The second house built with the gun
employed wallboard in place Of tar
paper and chicken wire, with even bet
ter results.

JUDGE Lowe CON-
TlNUES "'STRIKE"
ORDER AT MIN0T

Minot, N. D., Aug. 2.-District
Judge John G. Lowe today denied the
application for vacation Of the
temporary order against Ward county
sheriff, A. D. Scofield, restraining
him from appointing deputy sheriffs
to serve during the present railroad
strike, and overruled the demurrer
interposed by the sheriff and set
30-day limit for filing an answer
to the complaint made in the action
brought by A. E. McLane against
Sheriff A. P. Scofield of Ward county
ct al.
Judge Lowe, in his decision states
that the moving papers show that the
sheriff has appointed several persons
to act as special deputies who had
already been appointed as special Of
ficers by the railroad company under
and by authority of law. The action
against the countw commissioners, in
conjunction with the one against the
sheriff, was dismissed.
"There is no question but that the
railway company has the authority to
appoint as many deputies as it de-
sires," the decision says, and if there
is any apprehension Of danger on
their part it is its duty to appoint as
many as might be necessary to pro-
tect its property. If it should ap-
pear to the railroad company that
such an emergency existed that it
was unable to handle the situation in
its yards, then it could call upon the
sheriff Of the county for additional
assistance, as might be deemed
necessary under the circumstances,
but until such an emergency exists
the sheriff has not authority to make
appointments Of special deputies and
charge the taxpayers with that ex-
pense.

Clothes Do Not Mar
Aesthetic Dancing

The art of a certain dancer who is
much in the public prints these days.
depends, obviously, on the chastity of
spirit of her audience, says the Detroit
News. With that touching faith for
which classical performers are noted
she believes that sweet-mindedness ex-
lists everywhere, including Boston and
Indiapolis. 1t is n pious aspiration
and an expression of sublime optimism
which deserves noting.
But after all it is the dance that one
should look for in dancing and very
skilled performers have shown that
clothes in no wise mar the perform
ance. Of course where the dancing
is boggled, there needs something else
to divide the attention of the audience.
But CHANGING over the names of those
whose %piroueting has enthralled vast
ADMINISTRATIONS, Genee, Lopokova
among others--it IS recalled that they
made clothes distinctly a useful COM
plement of their tasteful exhibitions.
But of course they received n differ
ent sort of publicity.
