ROAD frost BOILS"
MAKING SORE SPOTS.

Bottomless, churning soft spots,
numerous on Minnesota roads now
during the spring thaws are known
among highway engineers as "frost
boils", says a state highway bulletin
this week. They appear over night
and disappear almost as rapidly
when the frost is entirely out. But
they make work for road mainten-
'ance men and trouble for road
users. The "frost boils" vary in
size from a few feet to three or
four rods in diameter and in some
instances it is necessary to use
planks to bridge over traffic and pre-
vent blockades. The outbreak of
these physical freaks this spring, the
bulletin says, has been unusually
severe but is now gradually clearing
up.

CHANDLER RETRENCHES
ON PRODUCTION.

The night shift was discontinued
this week at the North Chandler
mine owing to the slump in the
market and the cut in the selling
price of ore. This mine has a large
stockpile which has been added to
in the past four years, no ore of
any consequence having been sold
in that time by the company. The
lack of market, and the low prices
have decided the company to cur
tail and Supt. Moore was forced to
lay off the night shift and cut the
number of men employed from rs
to SO. It is to be hoped that the
retrenchment program will be of
short duration.

DRESSED LIKE BOY;
 EVEN HAD CIGARS
But Smoking Of Them Causes
 Trip To Hospital

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-A pretty girl, about eighteen, her hair cut short and dressed in male attire, stopped Patrolman Theodore Miller at Forty second street and Sixth avenue at 10 30 last night and said: "Take me into GUS tody.p Miller took her to West Thir- tieth street station, where she said she was Miss Mary Burke of No. 425 Budd avenue, Cincinnati, o.
 She said she arrived here yesterday morning with an invention for auto- mobiles. Deciding she would make q greater impression if posing as a man, she took a train to Glen Cove, l.. l., where at q secondhand clothing store she bought a complete outfit of mems clothing.
 Behind q clump of bushes she donned the clothing, she said, and then with a small pair of manicure scissors trim med her bobbed hair still shorter. She journeyed back to Manhattan and, to complete the masquerade, bought two long, cheap cigars.
 She attempted to smoke one, the young woman said, but became sickened and threw the cigar away. Through out the day she walked the streets, chewing on the other cigar. Finally, discouraged last night at her failure to impress any of the motor car dealers visited, she. enlisted the aid of the police.
 While being questioned by the ma tron at West Thirtieth street station, the cigar she had chewed got in its fine

that money of his that had come to them and spend it in a way that would give Fred the most pleasure. She had first thought of a su- burban home, not too far from the city; then one day she came across some liter ature on poultry raising Fred had put, away. And she remembered his dream ito raise poultry. So came the daring plan to break away entirely from the city and buy a poultry farm. Fred thoroughly understood the business and she could learn.
 She said nothing to Fred, but watched the Want Ads in The Age-Herald. The front page might hold a Hollywood scandal, a last minute flash of an interna- tional row, a story of a New York models murder-she passed them all by to look in the agate type under Farm Lands For Sale."

The stars shining through the various basins of water reflect them. selves and often en~ble the pilot to de- termine where he is approaching. The airplanes used for night flying over the western stretches of the mail route are equipped with powerful search lights, but my flights at night have been pri- vate.
 Takes His Chances
 "The aviator takes his chances when nights are overcast and atmospheric conditions are unfayorable, but by means of his altimeter and his knowl- edge of meteorology he knows to what altitude he must ascend to avoid the mountains. Air mail pilots equip them selves with parachutes. Only once has an air mail pilot had recourse to a para chute, but every one leaving his station dons the parachute sack. He therefore carries with him a safeguard against serious consequences.
 "The sensations that the experienced pilot feels in skimming the night clouds are not exactly the same that the man on the street who observes his eerie flight imagines.
 He faces only storms but he does not let these deter him always. The worst storm in summer covers radius of only five or ten miles and by soar ing above the storm clouds he passes through or over them in less than five minutes. It is nothing for skilled aviator to rise to dizzy heights over storm regions and come out unhurt Any pilot will tell you that the sensations of bucking the storm gales are more thrilling than night flying over familiar lanes aided by powerful beacons."

much handshaking. At beck and call geens. He tried them. They could do nothing. He went to Bonesetter Reese, who took his hand, seized his fingers with his own peculiarly endowed ones, gave a twist and cured him.
 Lies In Finger
 All his power lies in his fingers. He discovered this quite accidentlly back in 1887, when he was a man 32 years old He had come from his native Wales to his country because of indus trial conditions in England. He got a job as millhand in Pittsburg. One day man fell from ladder. Work men ran to him, but he was unable to rise, and nothing they could do as- suaged his pain. Then Bonesetter Reese stopped and ran his fingers up and down the injured mans back. And while the millhands gaped in wonder the fellow stopped writhing and, his face wreathed in smiles, rose to his feet well and sound.
 That started his fame.
 Some years later, having made him self figure in his community much as did Coue in ,his home town, he was called in to straighten out the twisted pitching and throwing arms and "char- ley horsed' legs and backs of baseball celebrities.
 To him can be attributed the pheno- menal sprightliness of Hans Wagner, greatest of all shortstops. The demon Dutehman was carried off the field one day when something snapped in his hack. Medical attention availed noth- ing. So he was taken to Bonesetter.
 Bonesetter ran his fingers up and down the spine that ran between those gorillalike shoulders. Suddenly he pressed the massive back which used to. send the old ball game into the Pittsburg column when it got behind the Wagnerian ash and eye. The big shortstop screamed in pain and tainted. When he came too the back was bet ter and the great American game was guaranteed for years to come the sight of that marvellous player gambling with his uncanny ubiquity between the second and third corners.
 Bonesetter never studied medicine.
 He didn't even take course in chiro- practic.
 Can Perform Legally
 But So marvelOusly did he perform in his native state that the Ohio med ical board passed a special resolution empowering him to legally perform his finger cures.
 Now he is as famous as any individ- ual can be in his native dwelling place. In fact they say that Youngstown is known principally because it is the home of Bonesetter Reese.
 Bonesetter now is getting along to- ward the time when man begins to
