AThile she was in the asylum her small fortune increased to $2,000.000, to be divided now among seven nieces. “Money runs into money ’ rapid­ ly in this country, if you give it any sort o f an opportunity.

T h eD ep u ty Attorney General o f New York shows where some o f the money goes. Bogus tock sales alone take $500,000,000 from the people of the State each year. Even chat leaves a good deal of naore-y fo» other swindlers to take. Evidence at the Shenandoah in­ vestigation shows that Command­ er Lansdowne, who understood fly­ ing, protested against taking his chip through the storm belt of the Middle lAest, and asked for a post­ ponement. Those knowing nothing about fly­ ing but unfortunately controlling aviation in the United States, or­ dered aim to go, jn order to ‘im­ press certain S ta te fairs on the way.” Because his «advice waa not taken, Lansdowne was killed. Who is RESPONSIBLE, for his death ? And how good a suit for dunviges have his widow and the other Shenandoah widows against thuio that sent their husbands to death ?
