Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service. Then, says Mitchell, a business man will be able to leave New YorkeCity, early in the morning, fly to England, have lunch, transact business, and return home before dark. Tf so, what would happen to.prohibition? A picture rises, | of a rum-hound flying over to London for a spree, back the | same day. In flying at terrific speed, such as 500 miles an hour, the chief problem would be supplying air to passengers and | crew. Mitchell tells: of experiments, being conducted by the army, using oxygen tanks to furnish air for the people in an air-tight cabin of the flying craft. Fast planes in another generation or two will be as com- mon as autos are today. Devices such as oxygen machines will be needed then. And they will be monopolized by patents. About 20 years ago a writer in the old Argosy magazine wrote a story, “A Round Trip in the Year 2000,” in which he pictured earth’s inhabitants going about with meters at- tached to their noses. A trust had monopolized the air and | was making people pay for the privilege of breathing. May- be this writer was more of a prophet than a “romancer.” Interesting problems will rise when airplanes making 500 or 1000 miles an hour, or more, come into general use. The frontiers of countries then will virtua}ly disappear. The flying machine conquering time and geography, will literally place the far corners of the earth at Mr. Average Man’s door. Prohibition or most other attempts to regulate individu- conduct will be futile then, unless the laws appty all «ter the world. What will be the good of a drastic law, ap- plying only in one country, when men will be able to evade it by flying to another country ina few mintues or hours?. What, for instance, would restrain a murderer who could kidnap his victim in secrecy, rush him in a flying machine to.an ice berg or jungle, commit the murder, dispose of the body and return? Once home, even if his crime were dis- covered, he could not be made to answer any charge except kidnaping or assault with intent to kill, the actual murder being committed outside his own country. The airplane will steadily lessen the effectiveness of many laws within any given country, and international laws. will become the most important statutes in the world. : REMEMBER THEM H “Here is your opportunity to do something for the disabled | soldiers—to help relieve their suffering, to make. their lives; brighter and, in general, to compensate in, part for national negligence. The opportunity comes Nov. 4, Forget-Me-Not Day. On this day the Disabled American Veterans of the World War make their drive for money to aid their membership. Giving to this cause is more than a duty. It is a privilege. aK: .yThe public, when approached by Forget-Me-Not solicitors, should respond generously. No dollar, no dime, could be better spent. It will. be a permanent investment in happi- ness. NOVEMBER >You can figure on-accomplishing a lot during the next 60 days. Scientists, after long study, announce that the human brain docs its best work in November and December. Cool weather is a spur to mental activity, hot weather a brake. You’ve noticed, hard to think in a hot room. Brains slow down after Christmas. In March they run at-high speed again. The maximum of physical strength comes in April, May, September and October. TALK “Comedian Raymond Hitchcock has decided that most Americans who go to theaters have a vocabulary of only 500 words — such as yes, no, listen, radio, love, money, papa, mamma, prohibition and say: Maybe it’s for the best. *“Even with a vocabulary limited to 500 words, most of us talk too much of the wrong kind of stuff. What would it be like if we had the whole dictionary at our tongues’ tip? ; JOKES Raymond Hitchcock, comedian, says Americans have a sense of pie-in-the-face or slapstick fun, but no real sense of humor. <He claims the old jokes go best with audiences because a joke, to an American, is like wine — has to be aged to be appreciated. -That’s not the real reason. Old jokes bring laughs, year after year, because a new generation is always growing up that never has heard the old gags. The stuff that is old to gréwn-ups is new to youth. Actors and scenery change, but life,is the same old show, century after century. 5 PAID “The first country to wipe out its World War debt in full is.Ocean Island, a Pacific isle that shows up on the map as a pinpoint just south of the equator. P _This little island voluntarily rushed to the assistance of New Zealand. It contrbiuted an army of six men. The war debt which it now wipes out totaled only about $17,000. Nevertheless, it was a “big strain” for such a small com- munity. In getting rid of its war debt as quickly as possible, it demonstrates the horse-sense typical of small communities the world over.

Edwards is the first candidate for | high office to be indicted in West Virginia for violation of the cor- Tupt practice jaw, but his friends {also assert that he is the first can- didate in the state who has ever made a truthful return of his cam- |paign expense. In view of the | ridiculous limit the cause of poli- ‘cal purity would jprobably be ad- | vanced more by awarding the can- | didate a distinguished service medal |for his virtue in truth-telling than | by punishing him for his fault. | The West Virginia law is an ex- jample of political “hokum” as ap- | plied to reform legislation.

THE ELTINGE | Among the queerest cases of wrong identification resulting from the fatalities of the late war is that of Joe Peters; and the oddest part j of it all is that the impersonation of another character was done de liberately. While it might sound even more strange, the truth is that the impersonation was made to fur- ther a worthy cause. | Such apparent, contradictions form the basis of the after-the-war drama of tender emotions and heart throbs | presented by Richard Barthelmess in his latest starring picture at the \Eltinge theater Wednesday and Thursday. “Sonny.” In his role of Joe Peters, a! waterfront and poolroom character, the star assumes the identity of ‘Sonny Crosby, scion of an aristts- leratic family, who had been a fa tality in the war. Movie Chats and an Acsop Fable are also being shown. The Women’s Community Council Milk Fund shares the receipts at the Eltinge Wednes- tday and Thursday.

After a while, I found out that the crime had been perpetrated by Jose Quintana’s gang of _ interna crooks masquerading as Bolsheviki. Stormont nodded: “I also came across similar cases,” he remarked “Well, this was a flagrant m-# ple. Quintana had burnt the cha teau and had made off with over ‘two million dollars worth of the little Grand Duchess’s jewels— among them the famous Erosite gem known as The Flaming Jewel.” | “T've heard of it.” t “Tye been after +. «But, Jack, until this morniny Quintana did not possess these stolen jewels.

Then it ‘lost color as he thought -of the jewels that Eve had concealed—the gems for which she had risked her life, He said: “But you tell me Quin- tana robbed you this morning.” “He did, The little Grand Duchess and the Countess Orloff- Strelwitz are my guests at Harrod Place. “Last night I snatched the case containing these gems from Quin- tana’s,fingers.

The next time I shall kill him any way I can. . . Legitimately.”~., “Of course,” said Stormont grave- ly. But his mind was full of the jewels which Eve had. What and whose were they—if Quintana again had the Esthonian gems in his pos- session? ,A:few minutes later, as they came out among the willows and alders; him ever sine, on the northeast side of Star Pond, Stormont. touched his comrade’s arm, “Look at. that enormous dog-otter out there in the lake ” And now the hounds, unleashed, lifted frantic voices. The very sky seemed full.’ of the discordant tumult; wood and shore reverberat- ed with the volume of convulsive and dissonant baying. “Damn it,” said .Darragh, dis gusted, “—that’s what they’ve be: trailing —that devilish dog-otter yonder. ; And I had hoped they were on Quintana’s trail—” ‘A’mass rush and scurry of crazed! dogs nearly swept him off-his feet, and both men caught a glimpse of a large bitch-otter ‘taking to the lake from a ledge of rock just be- yond, “Well, I'm in for it now,” mut- tered Darragh, starting along the bank toward Clinch’s Dump, to keep an eye on. his dogs. Stormont’ followed more leisurely. CHAPTER IV A few minutes before | Darragh and Stormont“had. come out on the farther edge of Star Pond, Sard, who had heard from Quintana about the big drain pipe which led from Clinch’s pantry into the lake, decid- ed to go in and take a look at it. He had been told all about itt Te children looked around curious- | usi how: Clinch—in ,the’ everft a Taid by State Troopers or Gov- ernment enforcement agents—could empty his contraband hootch into the lake if necessary—and even could slide a barrel of ale or a keg! of rum, intact, into the great tile; tunnel and recover the liquor at his; leisure. Also, and grimly, Quintana had admitted that through this drain Eve Strayer and the State Trooper, Stormont, had escaped from Clinch’s ; Dump. So now Sard, full wert back into the pantry to look at it for himself. ‘Almost instantly the idea occurred to him to make use of the drain for his own safety and comfort. Why shouldn’t he sleep in the EVERETT TRUE ‘ BY CONDO YES, SIR! Have TRAT CHA: RQ AND SLL BE ITH YOU DieseTLy —- 1 WAWT TO CLOSE THe DooR You LEST —.’ _ |. And pantry, lock the door, and, in case | of intrusion—other exits being un- available—why shouldn’t he feel er i} jtirely safe with such an avenue of escape open? For swimming was Sard’s jaccomplishment. He wasn’t afraid of the water; he simply couldn't {sink. Swimming was the only sport he ever had indulged in. He adored | it. H at that instant the very | heavens echoed with that awful tu-| {mult which had first paralyzed, | |then crazed him in the woods. | In the bushes on the lake shore he | ‘saw animals leaping and racing, but, | fin his terror, he did not recognize | i them for dogs. i | Then suddenly, he saw. a manj j¢lose to the house, running: and{ janother man not far behind, That | ihe understood, and it electrified him | into action. i | © it was too late to escape from the | jhouse now.

B. M. BRIDGES GIVES FACTS IN HIS CASE It is doubtful if there has ever been a medicine endorsed by so many ministers of the Gospel as has Taniac. Indeed, there is scarcely a faith, creed or domination in all the land in which one, or more, of the clergymen has not publicly express- ed their indebtedness to the Premier Preparation for the benefits they have derived from its use. One of the latest to speak out in this connection is Rev. B. M. Bridges, a widely known and beloved Bapt preacher, residing at Mooresboro, N C., whose statement follows: “Tanlac has given me a good ap- petite, toned up my system and re- newed my strength in such a grati- fying way that I am glad to recom- mend it to anyone who is in a run- down condition.
