At one time he undertook the con duct of a newspaper of his own, and a* He used to tell with gteat glee, he signalized his entry into the field 01 conducting his own paper by publish ng a long editorial in defense of the Roman Catholic church, which he con ceived to have Wen unjustly criticised :r, connection with the massacre of Si.

' For a number of years he was asso ciated with Henry Watterson on the Courier-Journal, and later he was connected with other Louisville pa iM'ri*. In 1SS0 he went to Washington in a minor newspaper connection, and soon beTJTR^e a^i editorial writer on the Washington Post. This work he con tinual for a number of. years. at the same time writing political articles for a syndicate which published them in all part# of the country. After the acquisition of The Post by the late John R. McLean, the matter written by Col. Newman was unacceptable, and while his style and his wonde rfel fund of information were prized by the management, he was informed that he must dull the edge of his sarcasm and soften the rapier of his partisanship. This was impossible to him. He was one of the most inde pendent oT men, and his pen was not for sale ^to any man. His opinions were his own, and could not be pur chased. The result was, of course, that fie was relieved of his position, as editorial waiter for The Post. Since that time Col. Newman has devoted his time to writing three let ters each week, dealing with current' overits and political history as reflec ted in current eventV These letters we i e published hy a string of news papers throughout the country, from Duiuth to ( ialveston^and from Macon t>?- f ,mii.<\ ille.

Letters of all so; fs were received by him fropi ; admit or and critics who read his a'ticiev every other day.

Money May Bring Him Back. (irover Cleveland Bergdoll'a convic tion of draft-dodging took place in March, 1920, and he was. sentenced to ! imprisonment for. five years. That j punishment was well deserved, for the yoiing map's refusal to. serve thy ] country of his birth had none of the ! ordinary excuses or explanations. He was not a "conscientious objec- \ tor" to war, his health was excellent, j hi.s physique was Sturdy: and he was ! n<>; 5 wai l, for h" hud engaged nab^t ituaily in sports that involved danger , to life and evidently enjoyed them. j What he would not do was to figh* Germans; he thought the "Germans! right and the "allied and asssoclate.l i powers" wrong? especially the asso ciated one ? simply because of his German descent and the training he had received from a father and moth er who. though they had lived Ion;; in this country and prospered in it, were Americans only while their love for what they still caiied their father land was not involved. This explains the Bergdoll sons, but it condemns rather than justifies their course when the United States enter ed thf war. G rover Cleveland Berg- 1 doll's oescape from prison W'as but" a new demonstration of his complete disregard for his country's laws, and it is characteristic of him and of the whole family that it now is planned for him to return and serve out his sentence, not because he or they repent <rf his crime, but because his ami -the family's money is running short, and. only in this way can his large fortune be rescued from the hands of the Alien Property CUsfc dian, who very properly holds it. This may bring young Bergdolj back from his Swiss retreat. That for some time past he has been spend ing his money there instead of in his beloved Germany also is characteris tic, not of his Teutonism, but of his particular variety of patriotism.., Switzerland is a comfortable country in which to live, and Germany, just now, is not. ?

Howmany people can answer this question: "How doe* a bird fly?" It seems simple enough, and yet it is a problem that the wisest in such matters have made a study. The most prominent fact about a bird, in which it differs from all other creatures, except, the bat and insects, is its power of flying. ~For this pur nose the bird's arm ends in one long sk-nder finger instead of a full hand. To this are attached the quills and small feathers or. the upper side, which make up the wing. Observe how light all. this is; in the first place, the bones are hollow, then the shafts of the feathers are hollow, and, finally.. Jhe/ feathers themselves are made of the most delicate fila ments, interlocking and clinging to one another with ^ little grasping hooks of microscopic fineness. An open wing forms a hollow on its un der side like an inverted saucer, wjien the wing is forced down, the upward pressure of the air, caught under the cavity, lifts the bird up, much the same as you hoist yourself up between the parallel bars in a gymnasium. This explains hoW the bird keeps itself in the air, but how does it sail forward at such terrific speed ? It 'never in this wav ccfuld get ahead, and the hardest question is now to be an swered. Now the front edge of the wing, formed of the bones and mus cles# of the forearm, is rigid and un yielding, while the hinder margin is merely the softi flexible ends of the feathers; so wheit the wing is forced down, the air under it, finding this^ margin yielding, the easier will rush out here, and, in so doing, wi41 bend up the ends of the quills, pushing them forward out of the way, whicn of c6urse, tends to force the bird .ahead, This process quickly repeated by the^flapping of*1 the wings, results in the bird moving forward in its flight. < [ Stop "VwitinK" on Telephone. A Greenville mother reported to" The News recently that she sat by the telephone 45 minutes before her neighbor on the party line ceased n useless conversation. Her child was ill, not so ill as she suspected for tunately^ but ill just the same and in need of a physician. For three-quar ters of an hour the loquacious ngigh bor discussed everything from cab bage to chiffon, causing the mother to undergo an ordeal of mental an guish. And this mother declares it is the. habit of her neighbor to "visit" j her friends every day by telephone, ' indulging in long conversations and ?' making ?t impossible for her to use ' the telephone which she pays for with j any degree oT satisfaction. i There are not so many inconsid 1 erate women of *his type, The New* j suspects, as there are "courting I rouples" who employ th6 telephone j on off-nights to keep the love flam* . burning. They have long been a sub ject of complaint by' the telephone companies. All the billing and cooing that belongs to the front porch j* transmitted tediously over the tele j phone wires. Very often it chokes ofT i important messages and brings ire upon the telephone companies. It usually takes a lightning storm to j shake them off the wi*"e. I ? ? No matter whether it u the chat : tering mothers or their courting sons ' and daughters, they have no right to ! trespass upon the rights of neighbor* who share with them a party line. And in any case it is an unwise habit because lelfcphone " visiting." fre quently delays and annuls messages worth something. Common eourt??sy should be sufficient to dispel such a practice, but if not it may come to- a point where th? telephone companies uf thia Hd^QJlwII) l>e forced to do *? they have done in New Prig! and and limit "uVeleJn*'' fconveraallon to five miuuUsV A- Mkord kept by the New England compann * >h?>wed that 2* minute* w?w? ho; -unuaualiy ktfig for ?women to converse, while J5 minutes was u daily occurence on many line*.
