San Digo, Cael, Dec. 16.—Express- ing the desire to “fly once before re- tiring to a quiet life,” Mrs. Lulu Comstock, aged 74, of this city, ar- ranged for a flight with Aviator Anton Meyerhoffer, Jr., that ended today with the falling of the flying boat into the waters of San Diego bay and the death of the woman. Mrs. Comstock, previous to the be- ginning of the flight, stated that she wished to be taken to a height of at least 1,500 feet. 1 Grabbed the Aviator. Within a few minutes after the flight had been started, according to the story told by Meyerhoffer, Mrs. Comstock was seized with a fit, reach- l\-d out and grabbed the aviator in a | firm grasp. Desperate Struggle. verhoffer says that he struggled despe ately to free himself from the embrace of the woman so that he could control the machine, but that | before he could release himself from her grasp the flyinz boat, which was still 50 feet in the air, turned over | and fell into the waters of the ba: i The force of the impact with the water | completely wrecked the flying boat. | Woman Found to Be Dead.

One might hunt for months around the country without finding one man whose profession is military; yet al- most as hard would it be to di wover one able-bodied citizen who has not had some soldier training. “While Switzerland has a popula- tion smaller than that of Massachu- setts with an area twice as large, it can mobilize 240,000 men in 24 hours. On the same ba: the United States could put 8,000, men into the field, though of course it would take longer to get them to central points of mobi- lization. Berind a field army of 240,- 000 the Swiss have a reserve of equal proportions. The United States could, under the Swiss system, have a train- ed army of citizens reaching a grand total of 16,000,000 men of all arms.

Now Entirely Well, —_— 91 Mosher St., Holyoke, Mass.—*The eruption on my face started with Mttle pimples. I suffered for a couple of months. At night when I would go to bed the pimples would start to burn and I had to get up and wash my face to cool it off for a while. “I tried Soap and Ointment and they weren't a bit satisfactory. 1 then sent for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment and the pimples started to disappear. 1 bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and now I am entirely well.” (Signed) Miss Anna Choninard, Sept. 23, 1914. The delicate yet effective super-creamy emoliient properties, derived from Cuticura Ointment, render Cuticura Soap most valuable in overcoming a tendency to dis- tressing eruptions and promoting a nor- mal condition of skin and bair health.

Sven after that he may be liable, if he is capable of doing any other army work than soldiering, such as acting as baker or veterinary surgeon. “Yet with all of the universal train- ing, the only people in Switzerland who make arms an exclusive profes- sion are the Commander-in-Chief, se- lected by the Federal Assembly, and the General Staff. These form the brains of the army. The rank and file belong to the cantons, just as the militia do {o the state in this coun- try. “At the age of 20 every able-bodied Swiss youth becomes a unit in the first line. During the first year of liability he must serve 75 davs or more, and 11 days for each successive vear he is called to the standard. Ser- vice in the first line continues until the citizen has reached the age of 32. Thereafter he becomes a unit in_the Landwehr of First meserve, In which he remains until he is 44. He must give 9 days of service during each four_years that he belongs to the Landwehr. From 44 to 50, he serves in the Landsturm or Second Reserve. “Rich and poor serve side by side in the Swiss army, and there is none of the ‘crack’ regiment idea to be found.

All legally organized shooting clubs of the commune have the right to use this range free of charge. The government gives 60 cents a year to each club for member doing a pre- scribed amount of shooting during the year. The annual number of shots fired in target practice in the army and in_the = shooting clubs reached nearly 30,000,000 rounds, two-thirds of which practice is done by the shoot- ing_clubs. “Though surrounded on all sides by belligerent millions, whose interests might be served by asking her to step out of their paths, Switzerland today stands an island of peace in a sea of war, because she has been prepared to maintain her neutrality and her free- dom, or at least to exact such a price for them that none of the nations at war can afford to pay for their viola- tion.” JEWELRY FOR GIFTS We have the largest line of popular- priced Jewelry in town—25¢ to $5.00.
