LOVE THAT is TRUE AND KIND
Some viii Say It Is Considered Some
what old-Fashloned by the "Flap-
pers" Of Today.

AS David Mann, in Charles d.
Stewards "Valley Waters" listens to
"Lorena," he vlsuallzes the theme,
thus, of the old song of Civil war
times:
"The woman was beautiful. He had
found her to be beautiful In every way.
He had fallen in love with her In her
glrlhood and had received her love In
return.
and, having once loved her, he
could no more forget than he could
forget himself.
what man experiences has be-
come part of his possessions; 1t must
remain a part Of his life.
David could see that the man
would not only continue to love Lor-
ena, but that his love might grow
stronger and finer as time went on.
Having lost her, she would become
a cherished ideal, vision which never
grows old. And as time passed, In
stead Of forgetting her, he would be-
come more conscious of the lost years
the years that had not been passed
In her company"
That's the way when love is true
and kind. To an age Of fiappers and
ilippancies is 1t an old-fashioned way?

DREAM OF MANY INVENTORS
Much Time and Thought Wasted on
Machines Meant to Attain
Perpetual Melton.

Perpetual motion has been the
dream of inventors for many cen
turtles. BY perpetual motion is usually
meant a mechanical device which will
operate of it's own power without such
external or internal aids as wind, gas,
steam or any other element of force.
Some have come very near to attain
ing a kind Of perfection by series
of weights and balances; also by the
use Of quicksilver, but while these
machines will operate for a time, they
are unable in that time to develop
sufficient power to work machinery or
be Of any real benefit. In the town OF
MinnedoSa, Man, an old gentleman
had for some years machine of his
own invention operated by series of
weights by which he was said to have
run a small lathe. A scientist named
Strut has invented an apparatus
which takes advantage of radium
carnations upon gold leaf electro
scope. This perhaps comes near to
an endless motion, but is maintained
at the expense Of the molecular en-
ergy Of the radium.

counsel, said he could not provide
the sum demanded, and If he can
not, DR.. Cook must stay in Jail until
his appeal is heard.
In Jail with DR.. Cook are thirteen
of his former associates.
AS they chung to him while lie was
free and carrying on his promotions,

ing periods of time. Among them
is S. E. Cox, one of the most color
full oil promoters Texas has ever
known. He must serve eight years
in the penitentiary and pay fine of
$4,000.
DR.. Cook, more accustomed to the
sOfts seats of an automobile, and
Cox, well acquainted with the swift
flight Of an airplane, rode to the |
county Jail in the police partol.
Cook left the courtroom with the
most singing denunciation ever
heard in a Texas courtroom, ringing
n his ears.
After he had accused DR.. Cook OF
obbing widows and orphans, the
4ged and destitute, Judge Killitts
aid:
Cook have you no decency at all?
