LION PREPARED
FOR AIR TRIP
TO new YORK.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. 10
Roaring his denial of hints that
prospects of Il vaudeville contract
have induced him to attempt TO be
the first unmarried lion to fly from
San Diego to New York, Leo, the
unmarried lion, paced in his air
plane cage here today and wonder
ed why it took humans so long to
get started.
His anger was more or less ap-
| peased when Martin Jensen, of Dole
fligh fame, who will pilot him
across the country, assured him that
Lon CLANCY had not been hired to
double for him at the last minute
The plane was to take off Sec
reilly at midnight last night from
Camp Kearney Mesa, near here, but
for reasons not announced by the
Metro GOODWIN Mayer Company,
promoters of the flight, was still on
the field at 10 a. m. today.
A conscientious printer on a local
newspaper irritated press agents of
the movie firm by setting a head
on a story about the lion: "Lie-on

AS soon as the Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer lion was removed from a
cage on truck to the cage in the
Ryan Brougham plane the lion I'M
medately tried the bars. When
thew would not give, the lion lay
down upon the floor and rested there
quite at ease while glass shield
was placed around the bars to keep
out the wind.
The lion did not stir again until
the take-off, when it rose to it's feet
and was remaining there when the
plane sped over the field and took
to the air.

was on intimate terms, of Grass,
Pitcher, Ratliff Boone and Judge
Breckenridge, of the hell-fire and
birthstone gospel on which he was
brought up, of the parties he at
tended and of the stories he either
borrowed or made up.
His family was not so poor as some
historians lead us to believe, nor
were books so scarce.
Most of the leading citizens had
seen much of the country, even if
they did wear homespun, and they
dreamed of more shan they had
ever seen.
The vision of lew State was In
their mind. If they hunted and cut
timber, they talked of towns and
cities yet to be, and of constitu-
tons of far more liberal turn.
They talked of national politics as
well-of State rights, slavery, the
tariff and internal improvement.
The school teachers may have
known little about the art Of peda-
gogy, but they were strong on the

Big Business Learns

There are numerous mutations that the political
organization known as the Ant-Saloon League is
losing its grip The for this however isn't that
the politicians are much, if any, wiser than they
were--or less cowardly.
The real reason is that Big Business is getting
wiser. Men like the two Rockefelers and Judge
Gary who are smart in a business way, but quite
ignorant otherwise, have been learning something
besides oil and Steel They backed the Anti Saloon
League financially and financed of the stupidest
social experiments in all history.
They and other mionaireS who had more
money than sense and understanding undertook to
take the place of God and regulate the universe.
With the best of honest intentions, and having the
courage OF their ignorance, and the money to back
it, they decided to make the people of this country
happy and prosperous through prohibition.
Naturally they had great influence with most of
the preachers. The Rockefeers especially strong
with the BapstS having paronized their church with
unprecedented beraty. And they meart well. The
trouble was that so many people that because
man is rich he Is WISE So when the two Rockefe-
lers father and son. contributed literally to this
great experiment in social moral and industrial re-
form, they had many followers.
The Rockefelers began to get their eyes opened
when their man Anderson head of the League in
New York, sent to Sing Sing as convict Possibly
they got them open little wider when they learned
that the Anti-Saloon League had Senators and Con-
gressmen as well as State officials and judges on
their pay roll-Hke the Attorney General of Kansas
and one of the Supreme Judges of that State.
Anyhow, they quit backing the League. Others
have folowed-although guess Samuel vauclain of
Baldwin Locomotive still sticks to the ship-not per-
sonally but financially and oratorically There are
Others but still the financial contributions are falling
off.
SO, some of the preachers are getting cold feet
especially those who are not the pay roll; and
some of the churches facing big loss of member

Making a Lincoln

Making allowance for all these
things and painting the brightest
possible side of Lincoln's life, it
still remains fact that he grew up
under circumstances which, accord
ing to our way of thinking, do not
produce the best results.
Our eugenists would not have
picked his parents to produce
statesman, our educators would not
have Endorsed the kind of school he
attended, our social workers would
have demanded different environ
ment and our dieticians would have
prescribed a different kind of table
fare.
We are getting away from the
kind of childhood Lincoln led as
fast as we can.
We are telling each other that
such conditions as he faced are inn
possible, that they make for degen-
eracy and crime.
The question is whether, with all
of our standardized life and scien-
tific systems we can produce Linz
coin.

He advocated law against bobbed hair to curb

We don't know whether he subsequently got job

ingenious publication suggests as much. The line of
reasoning is much the same
Noting that "the major upward movement is sus-

probable explanation to be that Wall Street is uncer

PILOT BALLOONS


AS far back as the year 1909 Luke
Howard, an English meteorologist.
was in the habit of sending up small
balloons to observe the movements
of the air. About twenty-five
years ago balloons of rubber or
paper began to be used to a con-
siderable extent for the same pur-
pose on the continent of Europe. A
few years later the process was i'm
proved by the addition of theo-
dolite, with which the balloon was
sighted during its flight, and its
angular positions were then noted.
A balloon used in this way is
called a "pilot-balloon' and is the
principal means OF determining the
direction and force of the winds up
to heights of several miles above
the arth. During the world war
HUNDREDS of thousands of pilot-bal-
looms were sent aloft on both sides
of the firing line, mainly for the in
formation of the military aviators.
The technique of pilot-balloon
flights has greatly improved in re-
cent years. In the practice of the
United States Weather Bureau the
balloon, which is OF rubber, is in
flated with hydrogen Immediately
before an observation. In this pro-
cess it is attached to a balance
which measures its lift" and Just
enough gas is admitted to give the
balloon an ascensional speed, under
average conditions, of 100 meters
minute. After release, the bal
looms angular position is read from
the circles of the theodolite at the
end of each minute. AS its height
is known at any time the angles
suffice to determine its distance
from the place of observation.
The observer wears a telephone
head set and reports his readings to
recorder indoors. The latter, with
the aid of a special plotting board
an Ga slide-rule, charts the track of
the balloon so rapidly that within
five minutes after the last sight is
taken report of the winds at va
rious attitudes is ready to file in the
telegraph office for the benefit OF
aviators and weather forecasters.

Famous Scottish Singers and Dancers VIII Take
Part i'm Great Highland Musical Festival at Banff

Supplementing these features will
be series of concerts in the great
ballroom of the Banff Springs Hotel

and Ruth Mathewson, a fine con-
tralto of the same city, will also be
there. The Gaelic singers will be
represented by the tenor Norman
Cameron and by a group of folk
singers from the Hebrides who have
recently come to make their horne
in Canada.
The program of Scottish music
has been drawn up in historical Sc
quence, commencing with old bal
lads of the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, followed by groups of the
periods of Mary Queen of Scots, the
Stuarts and the Jacobites, followed
by selections from the songs of
Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Lady
Marine and Christopher North. The
Hebridean music recently made
popular by Marjorie Kennedy Fra
ser will also be featured.
In addition to these Scottish ele-
ments of games and music another
Highland feature will be introduced

Simple, Sincere Grief

AS we stood beside that grave,
with the rain dripping from the
trees and no discordant notes of
mechanical age to break the quiet
and beauty of it all, the artificial
tiles of present-day life seemed to
fade out of the picture.
We found it easy to imagine
how the simple hearted mourners
gathered around that spot 100 years
ago as the young mother was be-
ing lowered to her last resting place,
especially the little boy, who was
the greatest sufferer of them all
and who never knew such sorrows
or joys, such, triumphs or disap-
pointments as could wipe the
memory from his mind.

BANFF, Alberta, Aug. 13.-With
a hundred medals of gold, silver
and bronze offered for supremacy
in singing, dancing, games and pip
ing, the Scottish communities in
the Canadian West are looking for
ward with keen interest to the High
land Gathering and Scottish Music
Festival which is being organized
for the first week in September at
Banff, and to which the Prince OF
Wales has given his patronage.
Although there have been highly
successful Scottish games held in
various parts of Canada, these have
been mostly of local interest and
lasting a single day, but the Banff
gathering is planned to last three
days and will have national char
acter.
Each of the seventeen Highland
regiments in Canada has been au-
thorized to send a piper to compete
for the trophy for regimental pip
ing offered by E. w. Beatty, presi-
dent of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way.
The rules for this competition
have been drawn up by Col. Alex
ander Fraser of Toronto. the lead
ing authority on pipe music on this
continent.
Many of the finest opponents of
Highland dances in western Canada
have intimated their intention of
taking part, and the tourist capital
of the Canadian Pacific Rockies will
be ablaze with tartans. Tossing the
caber, putting the shot, throwing
the hammer, and all the games in
which brawny Highlanders are ex-
pert will, of course, be conducted.
