LOOSE AND DUNKLE DOUBTED

The Keeping of Bradley In the Dark Regarded With Suspicion. New York, Dec. 10. —With the exception of persons who are out and out Perryites, the majority of New Yorkers are inclined to regard Captain Loose and Broker Dunkle as a pahwho in their own statements regarding Dr. Cook have exposed themselves to attacks. The fact that the Times required affidavits and all the papers available in the ease before publishing anything shows that the very paper which furnished funds to Commander Peerv had its doubts about Loose and Dunkle.

The statements of the captain and the broker on their faces are the statements of men who for a consideration were ready to take part in a plot to cheat scientists and to cheat the pub lie. The charge has npt been made by the Times nor by anyone that the records which have gone to Copenhagen are the records which Loose had to do with. All the way through the affidavits the point stands out that Dr. Cook was willing to pay a reasonable sum for expert assistance in verifying his own records or for a set of observations for the purpose of comparison.

The fact that Dunkle made sure to keep John R. Bradley from knowledge of what was going on, It is argued, indicates that the broker knew he was playing a dangerous game. Dunkle himself, as has been stated, admits he was engaged in an Illegitimate deal.

American Boys Suffering From “Ingrowing Spunk” By WILLIAM F. CODY (Buffalo Bill). «*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ MERICAN BOYS OF TODAY ARE SUFFERING FROM T | J; “INGROWING SPUNK." THEY HAVE HAD SO MUCH 1 ■; DONE FOR THEM THAT THE ENERGY THEY WOULD 2 N NATURALLY EMPLOY IN OVERCOMING EXTERNAL X J 3 DIFFICULTIES THEY HAVE USED INTERNALLY IN f POLISHING UP THEIR SELF ESTEEM. •t at it Instead of going out and chopping wood and working in the garden and milking the cows, the boys today see SERVANTS building the fire, the vegetables bought in the market and the milk taken oft the doorstep. They have practically NOTHING TO DO FOR THEMSELVES. What the servants don’t attend to the parents look out for. It’s “Oh, he must have a happy childhood. I DON’T WANT TO HAVE HIM WORK AS I DID. He*ll grow up soon enough and have to go out into the world and make his way. I’ll let him have a good time while he’s young.” All the modem fathers and mothers seem to believe that way. at M st I BELIEVE THAT EVERY BOY IN AMERICA SHOULD KNOW HOW TO WORK, AND WORK HARD, IF HE’S GOING TO GROW UP INTO THE KIND OF MAN AMERICA WANTS AND NEEDS, AND I BELIEVE THAT NO BOY IN AMERICA IS REALLY AFRAID OF WORK IF HE GETS A FAIR CHANCE. IT*B HIS PARENTS WHO GET COLD FEET ON THE EMPLOYMENT QUESTION. at it it The BOY WHO ISN’T DEMOCRATIC ISN’T AMERICAN; I might almost say he isn’t a boy at all, really, for it’s just as natural for a boy to live on a level plane as it is for a girl to choose an inclined plane as her abiding place. Boys are BORN JUST BOYS. They are MADE INTO SNOBS AND SWELLHEADS in after life. Every time an American boy GIVES A SQUARE DEAL he is giving a wave to the star spangled banner. Every time he TELLS THE TRUTH when it would be a lot easier not to he is telling somebody that America is the best ever. And if a boy works hard and is on the level and helps the next fellow and behaves like a good sort generally he’s SERVING HIS MOTHER COUNTRY IN JUST THE BEST WAY HE CAN. Aeroplane a Very Useful Addition to the Army. By Lieutenant FRANK P. LAHM. United States Army Aeronautical Expert. OEATH dealing blows will not be directed from aeroplanes. Hurling bombs or explosives from the skies at battleships or armies is not what aeroplanes Are for. These machines

are NOT CONSTRUCTED FOR WEIGHT CARRYING PURPOSES today, and I don’t believe they ever will be adapted to that purpose. »* * * tTHE AEROPLANE WILL BE A VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE ARMY WHEN A FEW IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE. IT WILL BE USEFUL FOR RECONNOISSANCE PURPOSES. Even as the machine stands today it is fitted for splendid work on the battlefield. The aeroplane offers a most RELIABLE METHOD OF GETTING INTO COMMUNICATION WITH THE VARIOUS SECTIONS OF AN ARMY ON THE FIRING LINE. Suppose a battle line of Copyright by an army extends twenty miles—and this would be Waldon Fawcett. , , , ~ , , a rather long line —with the general s headquarters about ten miles in the rear of the center of this line. If the general should desire to make a PERSONAL TOUR OF INSPECTION or wish to view* the position of his troops be could .easily do so by using an aeroplane. The distance he would have to cover would,be about forty or fifty miles, which without the aeroplane might be an impossible feat. American Women Are Failures as Mothers. By DUCHESSE DE CHAULNES (Nee Theodora Shonts) ONE thing I have learned by living among the French, and that is the mothers there are mothers indeed. They do not think the moment the home is blessed with a child that the infant should be TURNED OVER TO THE ENTIRE CARE AND SUPERVISION OF* NURSES AND GOVERNESSES. Indeed, no! The mother spends much time with'the child, amusing and training it. HERE IN AMERICA, HOWEVER, THE FASHIONABLE WOMEN FOR THE MOST PART LEAVE ALL THE CARE'OF THEIR CHILDREN TO SERVANTS AND GOVERNESSES. THAT IS WHY 80 MANY OF THE CHILDREN HERE ARE BADLY BROUGHT UP; THAT 18 WHY THEY SO OFTEN DO THINGS TO DISGRACE OR HUMILIATE THEIR PARENTS. « st at Think, too, what a mother misses by leaving her children always to the care of others! She MISSES THE SWEET WHOLESO ME NESS that can only be found in its natural state, so to speak, in children. If homes had more children in them there would be a GREAT DEAL MORE HAPPINESS AND CONTENT, provided the mothers took care of them in the good old fashioned way. It is a distressing sight to see women driving about in carriages and autos with dogs perched at their sides when in all probability their CHILDREN ARE AT HOME IN THE NURSERY imbibing their ideas of life from servants whose only interest is that which wages bring. ALL THE MONEY IN THt WORLD CANNOT SUPPLY TO A CHILD \HE LOVE A GOOD MOTHER GIVES OR THE CARE AND TENDERNESS WHICH. AFTER ALL, MAKE LIFE WORTH WHILE.

Humor and Philosophy

TAKING A CHANCE

HTHATS the use of writing this. ’ * Working on the lines and meter So it has a graceful swing And an easy sort of teeterT Who will read it anyway? Who will speculate or ponder On the work in molding it That the writer has to squander?

Many gems of purest ray, Some near-gems. too. are a loser And are wasted on the air Just for lack of a peruser. Men with work enough for two. Women in the kitchen cooking. Over it may run their eyes Without for the jewel looking.

That’s the way with many things Into which we put gray matter. By the wayside they succumb, Never getting to the batter. If the world would only pause As its vision Idly drifted Over this or such as this It perhaps might be uplifted.

Who will read these simple lines? Will some soul subdued and' stole Finish every single word With a patience quite heroic? Much obliged if you’re the one. We will ever be your debtor. Had we but suspected it We had tried to make them better.

What She Expects. "Women have simply no understand* ing of business.** “No?* i “Not at all. Take my wife, for ex* ample. What do you think she looks to me for?” "Give it up.” “To be a savings bank on my own account.” “That’s not a bad idea.” “But in addition, she expects me to be a bank of Issue for her.”

Her Evidence. “Why did Mrs. Brown look so downcast and disheartened?” “She said her husband never thinks about her any mdre.” “Indeed!” “Yes; ju.-t regards her as a part of the unregarded household furniture.” “What makes her think so?” “He never asks her to have her pho tograph taken.”

Reasonable. “I have my opinion, sir.” “Have you. my dear?” “I have.’’ “Then 1 ask only one thing.* “What is Itr “That you keep it to yourself.*

Unappreciated. The coming of old winter Makes cowards of us alt > We creep into our overcoats And for our mufflers call. Wo wish we wore opossums That wo might hibernate. But it would help a trifle, Il dad would coil us late.
