Catapultinq AirpIanes

There are two methods of cata-
putting airplanes off ships-the
gunpowder catapult and the COM
pressed air catapult.
These devices work in much the
same way as does a sling shot.
The plane is placed on a car
which is on a track on the deck Of
a ship. The releasing of com

EXCEPTIONALLY smart new
IL things for yourself and your
daughter, that you'll enjoy max
ing right now, and wearing on
into the summer. Yes, even if
you've never done much sewing,
you'll enjoy working from our
simple, easy-to-follow patterns,
each accompanied by a complete
and detailed sew chart. Hundreds
of beginners are saving money,
and creating really Individual
clothes, by making their own this
season.
The Charming Basque.
Here's a perfect design for slim,
youthful figures. The snug basque
top, above a full, ripping skirt, is
dramatized by little puff sleeves.
Think how delightful it will look,
made up in a plain or printed ma
terial, either one, but choose
something colorful, because it's
such a gay, young little dress.
Little Girls Dress, With Doll.
Yes, this pattern brings you di-
rections for making the little girls
dress, the doll, and a dress for the
doll just like her small mama's.
Just think how all that newness
will make your little daughter
dance with ioy. The child's dress
is a darling, with its full skirt,
pockets, puff sleeves and round
collar. Make it up in printed per-
Gale or gingham. Old-fashioned
rickrack braid would be pretty to
trim it.
The Classic Shirtwaist.
This is distinctly a woman's
version of the indispensable shirt
waist dress, gracious, slenderizing
and dignifed. The shoulders are
beautifully smooth and the skirt
has exactly the correctly tailored,
straight effect. It's so easy to
make, and looks so smart, that
you'll want it now in sheer wool
or lightweight flannel, and later
in tub silk or linen.

Lieut.. Rehipe w. Thenuz

DURING the Spanish American
II war Joseph Pulitzer's New
York World had reason to believe
that Hearst's Journal was stealing
its news by rewriting stories which
had appeared on its bulletin board
or in early editions of the World.
So the World laid a trap for the
pirates.
One day it carried a list Of Span
ish officers reported to have been
killed in battle. This list was a
long one and the World had paid
expensive cable tolls to get it.
Included in it was the name of
Lieut.. Refipe w. Thenuz. Imme-
diately the Journal came out with
the same list of names, including
that of Lieutenant Thenuz. Then the
World printed story featuring this
mythical officer, whose name
spelled backward read I'VE pilfer
the news" and the Journal was
caught red-handed.
Similarly, the Jacksonville (Fla.)
Star was caught during the Balkan
troubles of 1912 when it appeared
with a front page story about an
airplane battle near a Greek town
named TemehtmorfnelotS which il
had borrowed from the Jackson
vile Metropolis. The next day the
Metropolis announced that the name
of this Greek town when spelled
backward. was Stolen from the

themselves are scarcely compli-
mented by the reference since
thunderstorms which often char
acterize the late August season

Their disapproval of electrical

Death OF A Scientist

The nation in general, and the
South in particular, suffered Sc
we're loss in the recent death of
DR.. Charles H. Herty, seventy-year
old chemist, whose development
Of processes for utilizing slash
pine in paper making has been
hailed as an epoch-making achieve
ment.
Born in Milledgeville, Ga, DIR.
Herty was graduated from the
University of Georgia in 1886, and
received his doctors degree from
Johns Hopkins in 1890. For sew
eral years he was a university
professor, but he had early begun
chemical experiments which led
finally to his successful produc-
ton of newsprint paper from
slash pine, which is plentiful in
the South, but formerly consider
ed of little value.
Definite success was assured
when on November 20, 1888 eleven
Georgia newspapers were printed
on paper from pine pulp. The
American Newspaper Publishers
Association took an interest in
the production of the new paper
on commercial scale, with the
result that ground will soon he
broken for a $7,50O.00O newsprint
plant at Lufkin, Texas,
Through the labors of DIR. Herty
new industry has thus been ere
ated, which will be of inestimable
value to the South and to the
whole nation in the years to come

years. Nearly everyone agrees
that the idea is sound in principle
but many fail to put it into prac-
tice when the time comes to buy.
Any small industry which man
ufactures a worthy product and
sells it at reasonable price
might be enabled to grow large
through the loyal support of home
people. It's growth would enable
it to increase its payrolls, increase
its consumption of locally produc-
ed raw materials, build up increas-
ed taxable wealth, and in every
way contribute to the progress
and prosperity of its community.
These are trite and self-evident
facts which have been put forward
time and again, yet many other
wise good citizens deliberately
contribute to the upbuilding of
distant cities at the expense of
their own towns and counties,
through failing to patronize home
establishments.
The policy of buying at home
would do more for the average
town than can be accomplished
by all the commercial organiza-
lions and boosters clubs which
may be maintained. These or
CARNATIONS are needed of course,
but their efforts should be aided
by supporting the enterprises al
ready present in the community.
End of Drdught Cycle

has ended and the years imme-
diately ahead will bring normally
rainy summers. So says j. B.
Kincer of the United States Wea-
Their Bureau who is an expert on
droughts. In support of this con-
clusion, MI. Kincer cites the plen-
tiful rains of this year, following
those of 1887.
Two reasonably moist years
may not necessarily mean the end
of a drought cycle. But. Mr.. Kim
Ger cites the nations past wealth
er experience in substantiation of
his conclusion. The generally dry
cycle beginning in 1880 and last
ing through 1886. he says, was the
first since the even more extend
ed cycle of droughts beginning in
1886 and lasting through 1895.
The earlier drought period was
followed by fourteen years of
comparatively abundant rain from
1896 to 1909 inclusive.
A ten-year drought cycle was
followed by a 14-year period OF
normal or greater, rainfall. There
fore, our more recent seven-year
dry cycle ought to be followed by
about ten reasonably rainy years
of which we have had i IL,
leaving 8 1-2 years to go. Mr..
Kincer didn't say that, however

COAL COST DATA
SECRECY REFUSED
Producers Effort to Keep
Figures Confidential
Stopped by Court.

Justice Joseph w. Cox in District
Court yesterday sustained a motion
BY the National Bituminous Coal Com
mission to dismiss the bill for injunc-
tion brought against it by ~ coal
producers located in Utah, West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania to prevent the
commission from making public their
individual cost-producing data.
After failing to obtain the injunc-
tion. counsel for the coal companies
asked that Judge Cox issue an order
staying publication until they had time
to take the case to the Circuit Court
OF Appeals. The judge suggested that
attorneys for both sides try to asree on
the question OF a brief stay and indi-
Gated that II they did he would in
corporate the agreement in his formal
decree.
The firms contended that making
public their individual cost data would
1eopardize valuable property right,
but IN making this decision Justice
Cox likened the coal commissions pro-
ceedings to an auditor examining a set
OF books and he held that under the
act setting up the body, the data are
admissible in evidence.
The shortline railroads. some 80
IN number, appeared at the hearing
through counsel and opposed the
granting Of an injunction against
the commission, maintaining that
under the law the commission is
required to make the cost data public.
