LONESOME PINE STILL
 STANDING IN TENNESSEE
It Is Not So in Virginia as Fox's Novel Would Lead Headers to
 Believe

Chattanooga, Tenn. Mar. 2. Pl- The Lonesome Pine, which figured prominently in the mountain TO- nance by John Fox, Jr., still stands not in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, as might be inferred, but in tho hills of Tennessee.
 Although the scenes of the story were laid in Virginia around Big Stone Gap. the illustrator. Fred Yohn, spent much of his time visit ing at Tate Springs Tenn. in the mountainous section of the state and it was while he was rambling over the foothills here that the Lonesome Pine, with the typical trail leading by it, was discovered.
 Because Of the picturesque beau ty of the scene, Iohn and Fox deemed it unnecessary to look fur ther for an appropriate setting. The old tree now is on the estate of Mr. and Mrs John E. Jarnigan at Tate Springs.
 The illustrator also found his model for June" the heroine. while at the springs, the story goes. Miss | Eliza Hull, daught.r .r of prominent Savannah, Ga, family, frequently lode with Yohn. One day wl'er they were returning from one oi i their long rides over the noun

Av|AT0RS MUST BE
 WEATHER WISE MEN
Necessary for Them to O.
 operate With Elements

New York, Mar. 2. tPt-The avi- ator must take tip from the sailor and be content to cooperate with the weather in the opinion Of Dr. J. E. Woodman, professor Of geology at New York University. Dr, Wood- man is directing q course in aero nautical meteorology.
 The scientist believes the airman of the future will tack his way through the sky as does the sea man through the waves, making servants Of hostile winds and air currents.
 Aviation, being l young science, is rather apt to think Il can con- quer the weather" says Professor Woodman. We had some exam year in the fliers who fought the At lantic gales and lost.
 "The sailor knows better. Gen. turies of experience have taught him that he must take what comes and make the best as well as the IiAOkNl oi II. Ii' tb4ll4ct ltI'!f- ttit winds, but he can and does use them,
 "The aviator will do likewise when he is given an engine with such low rate Of fuel consumption that he does not have to worry about his gasoline supply Of course the weather will always be his worst enemy. but he will learn 10 work with it"
 Professor Woodman believes a knowledge Of the air and its va garies will be an essential part Of the future tlier's equipment.
 For safe flying he points out. "a pilot should be able to under stand and forecast atmospheric conditions through his ability to read weather maps. use barometers and thermometers. 'feel' the nature of the atmosphere through which he is flying and tell from the cloud formations the nature of the dis turbance forming them. He can tell then whether fl is eXpedient and possible 10 go under. over, around or through the disturbances which he knows he will meet.
 "In other words. the aviator Of the future will be something of a rneteorologist, able to interpret weather conditions as they rise. Flying will thus become more sci entific and therefore safer, for the airman can gauge the chances he is taking"

WHAT DR.. CALDWELL
LEARNED IN AZ
YEARS PRACTICE

A physician watched the results of
constipation for AZ years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa-
ton will occur from time to time. OF
next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton, known as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, is mild vegetable compound.
1t can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did not
believe they were good for anybody's
system. In . practice of Al years he
never saw any reason for their use when

ELMO SHROPSHIRE
is IN SPOTLIGHT
Little Jockey Would Rather
Pilot Winning Horse
Than Eat.

One of the sensations of the Middle
West thoroughbred racing season this
year has been the riding of little
Elmo Shropshire, seventeen-year-Old
Lexington (Ky.) youth, under contract
to Phil Reuter-. Shropshire makes "a
pounds and if one rider had to be
named as the most popular at the
Chicago and Paramount meetings,
Shropshire would have to be named as
that boy. His services have been much
in demand.
1t is I'M rst0od FL. P. Whitney Of
fered $4,000 for Shropshire, but Reu-
ter turned 1t down. He evidently
wants more or is determined on keep
ing Shropshire to do his own riding.
Shropshire was broken into racing
by l.. o. Everett, who also sent Ken
meth Noe and Lee Hardy to the races.
1t is remarked by those in close con-
tact with the jockeys that all of Ever
ett's pupils have the same dispositions.
Shropshire is said to be pinkfaced
enthusiastic kid, who would rather pi-
lot winner home than eat. His re-
markable number of seconds and thirds
proves his consistency and sincerity.
Reuter- keeps the lad at his own
apartment whenever he is racing and
Shropshire is regarded by both Mr..
and Mrs. Reuter- as one of the family.
Reuter- already is making plans to
establish his permanent home In New
Orleans, having expressed the desire to
build there this winter and call New
Orleans his home.
Last winter Reuter- brought Jockey
V. Peterson to New Orleans, but even
he admitted Peterson was of the type
hard to manage, and, though q capable
rider and one who was always trying
to win, Peterson's rough riding and his
hot temper kept him on the ground so
much he was of little USE Shrop-
shire is of an entirely opposite dispo-
sition--a mild, though manly lad, who
is wrapped up in his success.
However, the best way to judge
rider is by the number of times he is
first, second, third or fourth with his
mount. And Shropshire's record will
speak for itself. Racing officials are
coming more and more to the belief
that the youthful riders-chiefiy the
apprentices who are anxious TO run up
a splendid record. are the best assets
a race track can have.
Talk of scandal among the seven
teen and eighteen-year-old boys is sell
dom heard of and the officials always
have found the ambitious youngsters
easy to handle.

Action Delayed on New
Golf Ball Until 1880

The United States Golf association
is experimenting with golf balls OF
various sizes and weights with the
intention Of producing better ball
for all-around tournament play, but
no change is contemplated before
1880. if then, Melvin A. Traylor,
president of the association, reports.
Experiments were started following
another outburst of criticism that the
present regulation ball was too lively
and that long-distance hitters like
Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen had
too much of an advantage over spe-
cialists in iron play during the cham
pionship tournaments.
The q. S G. A. plans to make the
golf ball trifle larger and some
what lighter if any change is made
at all, Traylor said.
