AMERICA'S GREAT FINANCIAL PUBLICATION DRAWS PARALLEL ON NEGRO-IRISH QUESTIONS NEW FRATERNAL PETER OGDEN'S INSURANCE COMPANY NATAL DAY HONORED GRANTED A PERMIT BY LOCAL LODGES HOUSTON'S LEADING AND BEST EDITED RACE NEWSPAPER AMERICA'S GREAT PUBLICATION DE ON NEGRO-IRI (By Associated Negro Press.) New York.—The Wall Street Journal, the greatest and most influential financial publication in the country, draws the "deadly parallel," in discussing the Negro and Irish questions. It says: "With no intention of comparing the supersensitive Jrishman to the Negro, but to draw an instructive international parallel, it is necessary to supplement the merely business com-munity made in these columns on the attempt to raise money for Irish propaganda by means of receipts for subscriptions improperly and deceptively called 'bonds.' That our immense present strength in the world protects us from British resentment of what is nevertheless an offense to the community, good feeling goes without question." "But let us imagine a close parallel. Let us suppose the Negroes of the former slave states, intelligently and unscrupulously led, resented the failure to enforce the 19th Amendment to the constitution. Let us suppose that they formed a party for agitation, at home and abroad. Let us further assume that they kept the loyal white minority in constant costly uncertainty and alarm. Let us suppose that they called for the petitionation a republic and sent representatives to stir up feeling in England against the American government. "Substituting, purely for supposition of course, 'Negro' for 'Nationalist', these delegates in England would be NEW FRATERNAL INSURANCE COMPANY GRANTED A PERMIT The Modern Americans, a fraternal benefit society under the insurance laws of Texas in Houston February 20, 1919, has received a permanent certificate and bank, under the insurance law of February 24, 1920, a department of banking and insurance at Austin. The modern features of its policy and features connected therewith place it in a high niche among the fraternal insurance organizations today. It combines the fraternal, old line and industrial features in one policy. The early maturity of its policies, adequate rates and cash payment at the age of 70 years, together with cash equities, surrever values, etc., substantially place it in the forefront of institutions the leading officals are: F.

What's all this fuss about, anyway. Oh, nothing much; we were just saying that it is all right if we did lose to Texarkana High 9 to 10 last week; we beat them, when they were down here, 10 to 5; and, too, they say that we are the fastest basket ball team that ever visited Texarkana (Signed) Pendleton, Oliver, Crawford Finney and Buchanan. We are always glad to have such men as Prof. Washington, president of Guadalupe College. Bledsoe of Tyler and Rev. Griggs of Palestine visit us. They are types of men who are making room on top for the young men and women of today. The Inter-Church World Movement is the coming event that is causing much concern for the next few weeks. Again the movies were well attended. The play was "The Hoosier School master" and was a good one. THE HOUSTON INFORMER substantially in the same position as DeValera and his following now occupy in the United States. There would be exactly the same appeal to DeValera and his following now occupy in America, there are colored races presumably in sympathy with our Negroes, greatly outnumbering them even as our Irish are said to outnumber the present inhabitants of Ireland. Exactly as the Irish agitator here pleads the Ulsterman, a convinced supporter of British rule, should be ignored because of a voting minority, so the Negro agitator in Britain might demand that the white minority of the population of the former Confederate states be allowed to process of what he would undoubtedly call, like Mr. DeValera, "self-determination." "It would be abused also to tell the Englishman that he was unable to understand a purely domestic problem, but he was not senious. Not only could he tell us, with considerable truth that he had been successfully governing colored races before we were weaned. He would only need to point to the all-pervading red on the map of the world to prove his law no such Negro bond issue could even be offered to the public. Under British good faith such an issue would not be tolerated even if it were legal. Fortunately we are in no danger. But there is an old parable about a mote and a beam that would not work in our international relations." PETER OGDEN'S NATAL DAY HONORED BY LOCAL LODGES Tuesday night will long be remembered by the Odd Fellow House of Ruth and their friends, who celebrated the birthday anniversary of Peter Ogden, founder of the order. An excellent program, followed by a swell spread, constituted the evening's prologue. James M. E. Church, corner Wilson and Andrews streets, and the capacity of the house was taxed. The following program was executed: Song, "America," audience; lecture, "The American Dream," welcome address, Perry Mack; response, Mrs. H. P. Harmon; ode, members; oration, "Peter Ogden," Pastor W. D. Lewis; duet, Mrs. Ade Dorswell and Miss Jill Hicks; violin performance, Mrs. H. H. Hart; and Miss Orella Reeves; song, choir. Those in charge of the event wish to express their gratitude to all who inked in making the affair successful H. B. Washington, master of cereonies; W. M. Wyndon, chairman; W. M. Wyndon, secretary; P. M. H. Hart, reporter. HARMONY CLUB TO APPEAR AT WESLEY The Harmony Club, Mrs. G. L. Birdwell, director, will stage a musical March 30 at Wesley Chapel A. M. E. Church. The club will be assisted by Miss M. E. B. Isaac and her dramatic class. The public is assured, from the character of the promoters, a program worthy of their support. No admission fee will be charged, but all are requested to bring an offering. On the same night a contest among several young ladies will be closed, the successful contestant being awarded a trip to St. Louis, where the General Conference will meet. MASONS PLAN TO BUY Heights Lodge No 280, F and A M., which meets at Harmony Hall, on Saulnier Street near Bailey, every second Thursday night, laid at a recent session to start a really organic and purchase property in the Fourth Ward. All Masons of the same craft are invited to join them in this laudable effort. Mr. Joe McDonald is president of the association; Mrs. M. J. Sigh, secretary; Mr. Weasley, eruby, treasurer. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATRUDAY, MARCH 6, 1920. Leonard Wood For President His reception was in marked contrast to that accorded Governor Lowden of Illinois, also a presidential aspirant, who has close connections with the millionaire Pullmans who instituted the Pullman car system and made millions from it. Leonard Wood undoubtedly is the right candidate for the colored people of America, at least as far as one can gather from the way the Lincoln delegates, from all over the country, received him. St. Louis, Mo.—The effort of Congressman L. C. Dyer to have a resolution passed at the 12th congressional district convention endorsing Governor Lowden was frustrated by the alertness of J. E. Mitchell, editor of the St. Louis Argus, one of the most prominent newspapers in this section. Editor Mitchell protested against the endorsement on the ground that Gov. Lowden had not "acted with the spirit of Charles Banks Redeems Mound Bayou Special to The Informer Chicago, Ill.—Every member annual convention of the Lincoln 12 is still talking about the Major General Leonard Wood be it.

Negroes everywhere will read news with unusual interest and racial pride. All of this magnificent progress in bringing these things to pass, especially with reference to the financial leadership of the man that Dr. Booker T. Washington, said in his book, was the exponent and embodiment of real financial genius. We refer to the Hon. Ch. 8. Banks. Banks has shown remarkable constructive ability and foreignMany, who their heads in doubt, many turned their backs to him, many went away in utter discouragement, but he never for one moment faltered, but with that faith that is to be found only in the bosom of leaders Divinely sent, and inspired, fought on to the goal which meant the complete and permanent rehabilitation of this great Negro center. It is very hard indeed for the public at large to realize what a task responded upon this man.

Congressman Dyer endeavored to defend Lowden, but with- drew his resolution after the caustic comment of Mitchell, who declared that Gov. Lowden failed to act when first appealed to, and "later must have gone on a fishing expedition, for he could not be found." Mr. Mitchell was backed by W. G. Matthews and W. H. King. ks Redeems M every large business that required large sums each year, was handicapped beyond measure, in fact the whole town went to pieces. Not only did Banks bring new life, not only did he put all of the above named institutions back on their feet, but he put them back stronger and more in keeping with modern financial methods, forever insuring their future permanency. In this momentous task he has given himself unstintingly, as the great Sage of Tuskegee did, to make a fit place for the intelligent and worthy of our young racial group. It is said by those who are in a position to know that Banks actually used a large part of his personal fortune in putting new life and new hope, not only in the town proper, but in many numerous race enterprises, foreign to this little berg, but having a large racial bearing. This is not all; while he was thus engaged in this rehabilitate, he took over and set up for complete operation two of the largest plantations owned anywhere in the South by Negroes, thus giving to a large number of Negro farmers a chance that they did not have before. During these trying times when many other leaders have lost their heads and gone upon the rocks of ex treme radicalism and petty complaining, this great and unselfish soul has translated his whole thought and word into deeds that will live in the Editor Mitchell was one of the delegates who attended the Lincoln League convention in Chicago, and had an opportunity to compare Gov. Lowden and Leonard Wood at first hand. He was frank to admit that Lowden side-stepped the important issues, and General Wood spoke out on them like a real American. Chicago.—There has been much rejoicing among the colored people of Chicago and other parts of Illinois, since Col. William Cooper Proctor, manager of the Leonard Wood campaign for president, has announced that General Wood will enter the primaries in a contest for delegates to the national convention. There are thousands of voters of this section who have longed for an opportunity to vote their preference for Leonard Wood, because they know where he stands. The Illinois fight will be watched by the entire country, and will doubtless be a big surprise to those who underestimate Leonard Wood's popularity. Houston, Texas.—There has been considerable interest manifested this week in the recent editorial appearing in the Houston Informer, under the caption "Americanism the Dominant Issue." The editorial says in part "The recent national session of the Lincoln League of America, which met in Chicago, was addressed by four noted republican leaders; two presidential aspirants, the national chairman and the mayor of the Windy City. "Three of these distinguished citizens, General Leonard Wood, Hon. Will H. Hays and Mayor William Hale Thompson did not mince words in making Americanism the dominant issue before the citizens of this country at present. They stand for law and order and the rendering and maintaining of America safe for all its citizens." Among the rank and file of the people the question is being asked: "How can we support hearts and minds of generations yet unborn. Those are the acts that attract the attention, these are the types that so cure the telling support of thoughtful America, be they black or white hence Banks is in great demand now and is called in by many whites and Negroes to tell their numerous labor troubles, and without running away to the North to say it, he tells the white plains in words to be not to mistaken Negroes to tell their Negro should be dealt with, and past methods will never be tolerated by the new Negro who is now upon the scene. It seems to the writer that we need more Negroes of this type who are unselfish, who though they are not Negroes, the atmosphere of sweet humanity is this so true of this man, for any humble man or woman can see him at any time during the day. None go in but what come out of his office with their burdens lifted and a bread or hope, a newer determination to live and have them. We have them. In this beautiful and constructive atmosphere, Charles Banks breathes and works, not to be ministered unto, but to minister each day to those fortunate than he. In this he finds his great happiness he will find his great reward best. C. F.

New Orleans, La.—Indications point to the fact that Leonard Wood will have the entire Louisiana delegation in the national convention. Walter L. Cohen, who has been a close and careful observer of the political trend of events, has returned from Chicago, where he heard Leonard Wood speak, filled with enthusiasm for the great administrator. Mr. A. Wash, who has just returned from his run to Kansas City, Mo. came by and subscribed for The Informer and stated that the people are wild about the paper wherever it goes. GENERAL WOOD CHIEF CAUSE OF COLONIAL BY EDGAR G. BROWN. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 1, 1920. The immortal Lincoln was the first great American to deal justly with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalities for our advance as full-fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door of equality to his colored brother when he stood for a square deal to all men regardless of race or color. Booker T. Washington dined with him even though the whole country put up a howl. But now he has been taken from our midst. God in His wise providence, however, has not left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leonard Wood, the greatest living American to lead His people. You know we need not be disheartened for we are God's children. Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League saying: "Today the important thing is law and order.

Chicago.—Announcement is made that within the next month there will be issued an edition of the most unusual magazine ever produced by our racial group. The name of the magazine is "Tomorrow" and it will have features dealing with the racial conditions of the present time such as they have not been treated anywhere else in the land. Claude A. Barnett is director and Nahum Daniel Braschel is editor-in-chief. The magazine is entirely independent of the Associated Negro Press. HAMPIONS LORED AMERICANS order more than you colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation, we should have a free and untrammeled United States." Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and any candidate for president who does not publicly state his position on the race question can not expect the colored vote. General Wood will be the next great republican leader if two millions of colored voters have anything to say about it. "A second Teddy, folks! a second Teddy." Any man or woman 21 years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing first to the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club, Indianapolis, Indiana, for literature, buttons and other free instructions. This is an opportunity for colored men and women to prove General Wood that they want a man for president who will give American, black or white, a square deal.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By REV. P. B. HITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright 1990, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR MARCH 7 JOHN WRITES ABOUT CHRISTIAN LOVE. LESSON TEXT I—TEXT 4-7L. GOLDEN TEXT II—Beloved, If God so would allow to love one another—I ADDITIONAL MATERIAL I—John II, PRIMARY TOPIC I—Loving One Another. PRIMARY TOPIC I—Loving Our God and Our Creator. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —How to Show Love for God and His People. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Christian Love Upon Society. I. The Origin of Love (vv. 7, 8). Love is of God, for God is love. God not merely loves, but he is the fountainhead of love. Love of country, love of humanity, filial and parental love, every particle of love everywhere has been derived from God; his love is infinite, eternal and unchangeable. Since love is of God, everyone who loves is born of God and knoweth God. The Christian, by his life of love, interprets God to the world. It is not enough that the world should be told that God is good and kind, it should see his nature expressed in the life and love of the disciple. The Christian's life is the world's Bible. Where love is wanting, knowledge of God is wanting. 11. God's Manifestation of Love (vv. 9, 10). God's method of making known his love is through the incarnation—the sending of his only beaten Son into the earth by our Lord (John 3:10). The coming of Jesus Christ into the world and his living on human nature makes possible his love for us. We would know God's love, let us look at Jesus Christ. Those who gaze upon him in reverent contemplation cannot deny the love of Jesus. III. The Supreme Motive of Love (v. 11). IV. love is in the grand incentive prouding his children to love. IV. Love the Proof That God Dwells With Us (v. 12-16). I. No man hath seen God at any time. II. The heart is deceitful above all proof of his being. The one unmistakable proof of his being is love in the heart of man. Love is not native to man. III. The heart is deceitful above all wicked jacket (Jer. 17.9). Out of the heart proceeds murder (Matt. 15:19). IV. the heart is proof that God dwels within. 2. Love moves that God's Spirit is within us (vv. 13-18). The fruit of the Spirit is the dwelling within his children. The indwelling Spirit shows us Christ and makes us believe in him as God Son. The fruit of the Spirit is when God dwells will always make this confession. Who deny the fellowship with God, and those who have had ship with God will confess Christ as his Divine Son. It叫 out fear a. A Judgment day is in coming, for God hath appointed a day in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained (Acts 17:31). It will be a terrible thing for those unprepared to love God. Those who are Indwelt by the living God will there be a joyful meeting. He will realize the perfection of love in boldness in the day of Judgment, because as he is so are in this world of God. He will realize the fear of meeting God in the judgment is to live with God now. VI. God's Love the Ground of All Creation. The reason we love is that our lives have come into touch with the great fountainhead of love. The incoming of God's being and nature becomes the animating and controlling principle of our lives. The one in whom love is not the master principle does not know God. VII. The Child of God Possesses Dual Love (v. 20). The proof that one loves the unseen God is that he loves the person visible who bears the likeness and Image of God, and has become a member of the same family through the redemption in Christ Jesus. Love to God and man is united in the one breast of the Christian. The one who hates his brother while pretending to love God is a liar. VIII. The Solemn Command From God (v. 21). God commands that those who love him should love their brethren. Obedience to this command will eliminate all war and contentions. Life Life is made up, not of great sacrifice or duties, but of little things in life. The most important obligations given habitually, are what the heart and security accord. Our Great Blessing There is nothing that makes more for human happiness than the simple task of being able to do some task is holding us fast. We may ignorantly think of it as a burden, but we can do it. "Why is it that the cost of living has so increased?" "I guess it is because the prices have gone up."

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920 GENERAL LEONARD WOOD'S CANDIDACY The Informer has been reluctant to endorse any of the present aspirants for the republican presidential nomination, not because of political cowardice, but because we wanted to see and hear their views on the questions of the day. Having heard the leading aspirants for the nomination express themselves on the issues, and taking into consideration their past performances and future promises, The Informer candidly believes that General Leonard Wood is the best man for the place of any of the avowed aspirants. In endorsing the candidacy of General Wood, The Informer is not a supporter and booster merely because of his past associations with the lamented Theodore Roosevelt, the foremost American and world-citizen of his day and generation; but because he is an ardent advocate and earnest espouser of the fundamental principles of genuine democracy and honest-to-government Americanism; because he believes in law and order; in a rigid and strict adherence to the constitution; in distributing our war debt over a number of years; in a reduction of expenses in conducting our national government; in efficient business methods rather than in politics of a cheap and petty nature; in a readjustment of our internal affairs so that the old ship of state can function once more with the least amount of friction. In short, Leonard Wood stands four-square for "making America safe for Americans" and he does not mince words in making his attitude known to the American electorate. His executive and administrative ability was thoroughly demonstrated as governor-general of Cuba, where he abolished profiteering, stimulated and encouraged business, re-established and rehabilitated agriculture, organized, equipped and maintained hospitals, fed and clothed thousands of natives in a most business-like manner. All these things were accomplished when the Cubans were impoverished and starving. This period of reconstruction will be met fairly and squarely by General Wood, whose administration in Cuba was immediately following the Spanish-American war—a reconstruction period. Cities were rebuilt, schools established, roads opened, taxation system readjusted and revised, courts and legal tribunals reorganized, ample provisions made for countless orphan children rendered thus by war and famine. He had the election laws re-written, established law and order, protection of life and property, and liberty within the law, America's chief needs during this crucial stage of our national and international career. When he left Cuba, it had a reorganized and sound banking system, an excellent railroad system, nearly $2,000,000 unincumbered in the treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 2,000,000,000 pounds, sound municipal laws, fine public works, farm foundation and an absolute respect among the populace for life and property. The Cuban republic, built upon firm democratic foundations, stands as an everlasting and enduring monument to the administrative and executive ability of General Leonard Wood. Leonard Wood senses the imperative needs of the hour and has both the courage and convictions to come out flat-footedly and Walinger LEONARD WOODS unequivocally on the grave political-econ- ing our republic. Of the men whose hats are in the ring of General Wood, at this stage of the game proper man to be nominated at the repu- tion be held in Chicago, June, 1920. It is going to require the services of an not a mollycoddle and theoretical exponent to deal justly, firmly, unflinchingly and successfully with our post-bellum problem on the presidential horizon than Leonard successful physician-soldier, administrate- ne American. The Informer favors General Wood and and unselfishly for his nomination and a unequivocally on the grave political-economic problems confronting our republic. Of the men whose hats are in the ring in the "grand old party," General Wood, at this stage of the game, is both the logical and proper man to be nominated at the republican national convention to be held in Chicago, Ill., June 8, 1920. It is going to require the services of an able and astute man—not a mollycoddle and theoretical exponent of political economy—to deal justly, firmly, unflinchingly and to cope adequately and successfully with our post-bellum problems, and no better man is on the presidential horizon than Leonard Wood—the statesman, successful physician-soldier, administrator, executive and genuine American. The Informer favors General Wood and shall work unitingly and unselfishly for his nomination and election. Harrisburg Happenings.

The loss of hair may be divided into three classes: Physical weakness, dandruff and hot-comb; the latter, by far, the most prolific cause of baldness. If the loss of hair is due to physical weakness or dandruff this may be cured, but the loss of hair caused by the use of HOT-COMBS can never be restored as it deprives the scalp and hair roots of natural oil which nature provided. Dr. Billingsby writes: I prescribe for dandruff, loss of hair, a strengthener and promoter of growth of long, straight silk-like hair (not the matty gummy kind, but hair that is fluffy and full of life).

After shampooing thoroughly, then apply Kap-O-Line, rub well into scalp, brush and comb the hair thoroughly night and morning during treatment.

HURLER RUTH TELLS SECRET OF BATTING Home Run King Says "Keep Your Eye on the Ball." New York Yankees' Newly Acquired Pitcher and Outfielder Tries to Follow Advice Given Him by Veteran Player. "Keep your eye on the ball!" sounds like golf, but Babe Ruth II was speaking about baseball, Babe, who was recently purchased by the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox in the field. He doesn't believe in trying to score base hits with his chin, but once every in a while he can be perplexed by the international league, and when he does he generally knocks a couple of verbal home runs. The all-important question for Ruth to answer is "What is the secret of successful batting?" It was in reply that Ruth unsethesitatingly "When a pitcher is preparing to de- river a ball try to guess what he de- tends to throw, a curve or a fast one." "When a pitcher is making up your mind he is going to throw a curve do not be too sure of it. Always remember the pitcher is also trying to outgress the butter. That is part of a pitcher's skill to make sure he takes your eye off it. If you do you are gone. Watch it all the way. Watch it as it breaks and watch it as you start your swing. The batter who watches the ball out of the way will be better off if the pitcher comes a good hitter for if the pitcher HENRY L. BIDENNIE is throwing a curve it seldom breaks until it is within a few feet of the floor. It is almost impossible to tell whether the curve or not until the actual break occurs. For this reason it is necessary for a batter never to take his eye off the ball. A younger just begging to play any real ball is a veteran player impressed upon the necessity of keeping my eye on the ball and I have never forgotten with me, and yet I never step to the plate that the warning "Keep your eye on the ball, does not flash through my mind" to keeping his eye on the ball the batter must be hit with a fire and easy swing. Getting started quickly forward first base is something that demands close attention. Many a batter has to learn to throw from the plate and many a base hit has been made by getting away quickly. "There are many more things about bating, but these are the chief things to remember and practice." BASEBALL STORIES Jack Dunn is looking for another big season. Harvard has eight veteran players for this year's nine. Rabe Rhith can play first base for the Yankees if anything happens to Wallee Pipp. The Salt Lake City club is said to be angling for the services of Catcher Walter Mayer. A long spring interleague series of 1920 will be played by the Macken and Cardinals. Several of the big minor league clubs will have as long training trips as the majors in the South. Club owners of the Western Canada league have decided to raise admission prices to 35 and 50 cents. Looks as if the bobster movement was hit baseball with the Reds and Yankees holding out for bigger sports career almost to a man. By CECILLE LANGDON (Copyright 1929, Western Newspaper Union) "I'm all up in the air!" muttered Iram Scripts in a dazed way. "Don't say that, urged his friend, Robert Wade." Think man, friend Robert Wade. "I'll get to come back to you again." Think? repeated Iram hirglady. "I've done nothing else but think ever since that happened," and he pointed at the burned down shed at the rear of the lot. It was the model of my great invention working like a charm, to have a big capitalist offer a for a car. "Cheer up, old friend," consoled Wade. "You needn't tell me that a man of your genius and ability won't to make over what you once made." I am, all but the little jigger that was the soul of the whole device," replied Iram. "It simply won't come to me." Iram hirglady simply kidding wood. Oh! I am not mourning the loss of a fortune. I miss Thetis' Iram freemaking about. "That's bad, bad Iram," observed Wade. "No, it's good," dissented Hiram with emotion. "It's good because I've found out how much I love her, dear, sweet angel that she is! Wade, when I had spent the last cent of the money I got from mortgaging my place here and didn't know where to turn to get enough to finish my model, that lovely, unselfish being drew her savings out of bank, five hundred dollars, and forced it on me to help me out. Oh! the shame of not being able to pay her back will crush me. What will she say or think?" "Say? That you could have more if she had it. Think? More of you than ever. It's the way of women—love, pity, sacrifice. Don't fret on that score. Get your mind on something else for a while, and before you know it the little jigger you can't remember will pop into your mind. I say, there's a clucus in town. Let's stroll down to it and take a look at things." "It won't interest me one bit," declared Hiram. The two friends reached the vacant lot where the big white tents invited, but Hiram was in an abstract mood and the glowing canvas daubs held no attraction for the unhappy inventor. "Let her go," came the order, and the guy ropes of a show balloon were released and the distended monster suggested and swayed. "Hi out of the way there." The yell was directed at Hiram. It started him out of his preoccupation, but he did not move quickly enough to evade a bunch of trailing roops. One of them, a balloon, tightened, and he was lifted from himself. Then shoft he went. Wade was dead, horrified. The chase continued on the ground shouted wily to the operator, but up like an arrow, fairly one hundred feet, shot Hiram. Later, when questioned as to his uncle's death, Hiram Scripps answered that such a fear as never occurred to him. He declared that the sensation was one of exhilarating buoyancy. His mental seclusion re-emerged, and he flashed there came to him, clear, remembrance of the part of his machine that he had so valiant sought to turn. The startled balloonist turned a valve and to descent. As Hiram's feet struck the top of a roof the rope shucked and he let go of it. The balloon aawed free of it. The ground down the roof and struck the ground with a shock. "Oh, he's killed!" grinned Wade, as Hiram lysensible. "A get doctor, A physician happened to be on the grounds. He hurried to the spot. He broke the neck, but no bones broken, he reported. Then just Heim branched his eyes. A glorious smile illuminated his face. In another moment he relapsed into the brain, "no one concession until he shouted out urtapestly: "A concentric shaft and two hatchures—hurrah" "bone—concession of the brain," pronounced the physician dolefully: "Give him quick. It was several hours later when Heim opened his eyes. He immediately moved to nurse—Miss Miranda Tillets and her married sister. And, oh, Junet!" the former was sobbing, "what if his brilliant mind never recovered?" And oh! I love him, so if he was a more burglar I would work and die for him, if needed." "You say that, you love sweetest of all womankind!" cried out Him, stirring the lady by lifting upright. "I am a woman of Miranda's. Miranda is the golden luck. A concentric hair and two hatchures—Hurrah!" "Oh, my dear!—my dear!" pleased Miranda, breaking down utterly, "for Miranda's golden luck." "Ravings? a fairly shouted Iliam, "Why, that means that I remember you, and I remember my memory. Up in the air no longer, my defiance I can lift the weight of my heart.

BOB ROBERTS REAL ESTATE 419' , Milam St. Phone Preston 6307 COLN Eastern and Special Feature Loses Consciousness, Falls 5 Miles, Then Revives, Lands His Machine Safely. Dayton, Ohio—An airplane carrying Major R. J. Horn, chief pilot at McCook Field, Friday fell over five miles after reaching an altitude of 36,020 feet, said to be 5,020 feet higher than the world's record. Instruments on the machine indicate that it fell more than five miles in two minutes. While still 2,000 feet high, the plane itself and glided to a graceful landing. When the plane settled attendants who rushed toward it found Major Schroeder sitting erect in the machine. They were brief time residents of Dayton were sure a meteor had appeared in the sky. They had mistaken the trail of vapor escaping from the machine as it spedward for a "stranger in the heavens." Thousands of persons gazed skyward watching the plane, which had ascended two hours before the plunge. Major Schroeder lost consciousness when his machine had reached a height recorded by instruments as 36,020, or 5,020 feet higher than the plane, which he finished by Roland Holbler last summer. His senses number and his eyes frozen shut in a temperature said to have been 67 degrees below zero, he was then exposed to a temperature when 2,000 feet above the earth in time to right his machine and prevent it from crashing to the ground. The thousands of spectators were unaware of the drama of the sky." They saw a speck of black silhouetted against the blue, to which was attached a "tall" gray of furry texture. He enlarged as it hurtled toward the earth. When but a few thousand feet above them, those watching saw that a speck of furry texture splin. It was at that point that Major Schroeder regained control of his plane and headed it toward McCook Field. Then he made a safe landing and colloided. He was blinded and his limbs were numb despite the electrically heated suit in which he was encasured. He was taken to the hospital and given oxygen. When nearly seven miles above the earth his oxygen tanks became exhausted, and it was that which robbed him of consciousness and caused him Instruments on his machine recorded the best story of the experiences of the aviator in his flight to beat the storms and the honors to the air forces of the United States army. The thermometer registered a temperature of 55 degrees below zero Centigrade, or 67 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, on the barograph reading indicated a height of 37,000 feet, and when calibrated by Captain Harrison W. Fickinger showed an official attitude of 45 degrees below zero Fahrenheit and a variation of less than 1,000 feet. The mark set by Major Schroeder again gives him the record which Rohlswyn from him July 30, 1919, with an official attitude of 30,000 feet, was issued in a second flight to 31,000 feet. Riding alone almost seven miles above the earth in a polar climate and against wind that blew at 100 miles an hour or more, Major Schroeder fought against the storms. The sudden change in air pressure from less than three pounds at 38,000 feet to 147 pounds at sea level caused the gasoline tanks of his plane and the bombers to the air forces of the piloting Major Schroeder to his senses. Modern inventions, unthought of before the war, made not only Major Schroeder's air voyage possible, but also enabled him to return with an airplane to subasinate his verbal claims. His machine was equipped with a Moss supercharger and the same an use Aug. 1, 1919, when he broke the world's speed record for high altitude and flew an hour at a height of 13,300 feet.
