It says that "airsickness" may be
worse than seasickness for many poo
ple owing to the giddy heights, the
swoops down and dashes upward. The
paper points out that many persons
experience an unpleasant feeling In a
descent in an elevator or In a swing
and holds that aviation Is subject to
all such conditions, wherefore travel

THI8 POET IN CLOUDS;
8ING8 OF AVIATION.
HE
A novel poetic contribution to aero
nautic literature recently appeared In
the Harvard Monthly, signed by J
Gordon GUkey. '12. It deals with tbe
thoughts of tbe aviator while sky scud
ding, as follows:
Over the sea wastes tumbling free.
High above cities of sleep below.
In a veil of clouds tbe airships go
On the top of the winds we never know,
To the lands we never see.
There's a touch and a spark and a thrill,
and I share
Tbe breath of life with my steed of air.
And the lowest clouds rush up and away
As I swing; through the night to the
bounds ot the day.
Athwart the empty blue I rest
On double wings of silk and steel.
Beside me throng the wandering clouds.
And frightened eagles round me wheel.
To wide horizons never crossed
A level path lies clear for me;
Above, the slopes of doming sky;
Below, tbe fields of wrinkled sea.

Is Man of Strength.
Marshal Abernathy might best be de
scribed as a -great big little man."
He is about Bve feet six, well set up
and shews every Inch of his height.
He Is broad of shoulder and tapers
down to the perfect V, He shows
power, great strength and detesnsinn
tion in bis every gesture and move.
Aside from the wide brimmed, tan col

him to suggest the man who "catches
wolves with his bare hands and stran
gles tbem to death."
"When Mrs. Abernathy died." said
Captain Jack. "I called the children
around me and had a heart to heart
talk with them. They knew of my
frequent and protracted absences from
the ranch, so I mapped out the work
and gave each his or. her task. Bach
was made to feel that unless they
lived up to their part of the work the
ranch would go to the devil. Wild
horses couldn't have held them back
then."
Corral Their Kindergarten.
"Perhaps your boys would bave bad
better educaUonal advantages bad
they lived In the city?" was suggested.
"No, they wouldn't," tbe captain
quickly answered. "They have lived
close to nature and they bave studied
it. Their book learning hasn't suffered
either, for tbey are Just as well ad
vanced In their studies. I And. as the
average city child of their age.

"Each shall have a college education.
Harvard will be their alma mater un
less they suffer a change of heart. You
know, they fairly worship Colonel
Roosevelt, and he is a Harvard man.
Anything tbe colonel does or has done
Is perfectly all right In their eyes, for
next to their daddy he is tbe greatest
man In tbe world."
Harder Trip Last Yesr.
Whereas the country at large Is
amazed at tbe feat of tbe boys In rid
ing to New York, Captain Abernathy
does not think It as hazardous an un
dertaking by one-half as tbe trip to
Mexico tbe boys took Inst year.
"You see, nothing was written about
thai trip, and the boys were just as
anxious to keep their present move
ments as secret as they did when go

chaps bunked In with Indians, brig

t Loujs Health Cemmiuioner Takes
Steps to Keep Lot Clean.
A new work that will Indeed he of
wonderful assistance In the Improve
ment and development of towns and
cities Is keeping the vacant lots in fair
class shape. Civic neatness is the road
to town progress. Therefore get busy
and follow the example of Assistant
Health Commissioner Jordan of St
Louis.
It was through bis constant fighting
that the city passed an ordinance mak
ing it a crime to allow weeds to grow
in the vacant spaces. And Mr. Jordan
will see tbat this Is lived up to. He
bas announced that It will be enforced
this year by the Issuance of police sum
monses against offenders. In a letter
to a leading newspaper declaring bis
purpose and asking for the aid of pub
licity In his campaign Dr. Jordan says;
The season is at hand when it will
be necessary for this department to
enforce the ordinance regarding the
cutting of weeds. it la absolutely im
possible to make any headway in this
work if we adopt the course of giving
notion In aaoh csap it h Ki mtv
experience In the past that such no-
tlces in a large majority of cases are

unheeded, and it will be the policy ot
this department where weeds of one
foot in height or over are found on v
cant property to cause a police court
summons to be Issued tgaJxst the own
er.
The law does uot require any noUce
in these cases, but it is not tbe desire
of the department to take snap Judc
ment on any one.
The penalty for violation of tbe weed
ordinance Is fixed at not less than $10
or more than $100.
THINGS T0D0AWAY WITH.
Less Smoke, Dirt and Noise Will Make

Less noise, less dirt and less smoke
will do a great deal to make a town
or city a place of beauty and comfort.
This was the substance of an address
by Mrs. Imogene.B. Oakley made re
cently in Philadelphia.

much to blame for the dirty streets as

couutry smoke damage amounted to
$000,000,000. The railroad companies

progress of the town will be at a
standstill.
