TRAFFIC STOOD STILL.
3fan Forgot Clothes in a Turkish Rath
and New York Was Startled.
Traffic at the Brooklyn end of the
^Manhattan bridge came to an absolute
standstill during the rush hours this
.morning when the "absent-minded
professor" of movie and comic page
fame came to life, says a New York
dispatch.
Frank Bye, of' the traffic squad was
swinging the "stop" and "go" semaphore
at the entrance to the bridge
when he noticed a crowd coming
down Nassau street. He halted motor
traffic to let the pedestrains cros3
the plaza when he found himself the
center of a swirling mob.
Somewhat to the front of 'the
crowd he spied Albert Hackerman
walking briskly as if to work, but
I without a stitch of clothing on his
back.
Bye made a dive at the nude figure
and wrapped his coat about it, shoved
it into the police booth nearby.
"Where are your clothes?" the policeman
demanded.
"On my back, where do you
think?" Hackerman replied.
"Xo, they are not; you're stark
naked."
"Well, I had them on a moment
ago."
The policeman, puzzled, looked
closely on the modern Adam before
is *
him and noticed the body shone as if
freshly scrubbed. When Bye asked
Hackerman whether he had taken a

"I lay down for a while after the
?v"l>ath,"
he added. "Then got up and
fstarted for work."

How.Fast Do Birds Fly?
PC-.
?C*? V." t
The speed of birds has been much
exagerated. we are told by an editorial
writer in The Scientific Ameri'Vv
can (New York.) Every one, he says,
who has watched the flight of the
. swifter birds lias made his own estimate.
The speed attained by the
carrier-pigeon, the duck, and the
jfaster of the sea-birds has formed
the subject of endless guesswork.
Birds incapable of doing more than
40 to 50 miles an hour have been
credited with 100 and over. He con
. tinues:
"We remember reading somewhere
the serious statement by a man, wljo
-was both naturalist and huntsman,
that when he was lying in wait for
: -'j,
ducks he had seen more than once a
flock of geese pass overhead across a
certain measured stretch of landscape
that must have been going at least
120 miles an hour.
"Now the fact of the matter is that
nothing is moredifficult than to judge
<of the speed of any object through
the air bv mere human observation.
SKSC' >? '
V;. Foreshortening due to perspective
"i . .alone renders it impossible to tell
just when a moving object passes
above some fixt point on the ground,
and almost invariably the estimated
speed is far beyond the actual. At
-the present time the highest well-authenticated
speed in that of homingpigeons,
some of which have reached
a speed of 60 miles an hour.
"But now comes Col. R. Meinerzhagen,
a noted ornithologist in Great
Britain, who has recently published
some data on this subject in The Ibis,
which is the leading English journal
devoted to bird life. The Colonel
- states that during his antiaircraft
duties in the course of the war, he
'trained his men in instrumental
-work by making them take observation
of the flight of birds. These he
collected and then confirmed their results
by instrumental work himself.
He tells us that the speed of birds,
as thus accurately ascertained, is far
,below what it is popularly believed
- Jwt OA + A A A milne
ll# ut?, varjdug 11 uin t* \J iu iv mii^o
tor the smaller Passers to from 40 to
50 miles an hour in the case of waders.
Those speeds represent steadyflight;
but when a bird is frightened
by an enemy, or when it is pouncing
upon its prey, ft can accelerate greatly
for a limited time. He estimates
that for a short distance the swift
can reach a speed of 100 miles an
liour.
"The airplane, therefore, has greatly
surpassed the swiftness of the birds
both in Its power of sustained speed
and in its maximum speed. From 100

AU if U U11IC3 CLU. UUUI vuu uu
ed by many of the standard machines,
and we know that last year the racing
speed was carried up to from ISO
to 190 miles an hour.
"Where the birds still greatly surpass
-the human flying machines is in
the matter of taking off and alighting.
The sea-birds, and all birds, in fact,
by changing the angle of incidence of
ctheir wings, are able to reduce their
landing speed at a rate which the airplane
and the seaplane can not approach."

FLAMES DESTROY FACTORY.
i Heavy Loss and Many Out of Employment.
i Estill, Sept. 15.?Fire recently toi
tally destroyed the box factory of
i Hamilton Ridge Lumber corporation,
causing a loss of from $150,000 to
i $200,000 and throwing several hundred
out of employment. The origin
of the fire is unknown. It bei
came uncontrollable from the time
discovered and threatened to destroy
t several million feet of lumber besides
the entire plant. The fire was, how
ever, confined to the box factory. It
i is not known at present whether it
i will be rebuilt or not.
i Hero Which a Newspaper Has Found.
The Asheville Citizen has located a
hero in its city, and has presented
him to its patrons. The introduction
?J win i,a
is a preny one, a.uu ucucvc, >> m uc
of interest to our readers, for in Augusta
there are heroes just like the
hero of whom the Asheville paper
tells:
"We present you a hero. We encountered
him, coatless in a doorway
on College street during a chilly afternoon
shower. He was of the kind
usually described as earning the daily
bread in the sweat of their brows;
he worked on a truck, a furniture
moving van. 'That rain,' he said,
'looks bad to a fellow* without a coat.'
He had lost his coat from the 'truck
and did not know when he.would get
another?certainly not until winter
weather made it absolutely necessery
?coats cost a lots of money -these
days.
"There are ten children in his
family, including a niece and nephew
whose parents had been carried off by
'the flu.' The thing about children
not eating as much as grown persons
was a joke?that is to say, there was
nothing in it; besides, children ate
between meals, too. When school
was in session, he and his wife sent
six children to their lessons every
day; and every night there was something
to be bought, shoes, pencils,
tablets, books, seemed like there
never was an end to it. Then one
of his children has been through a
dangerous and prolonged illness;
that has ecu a lot; not counting medicine,
the doctor's bill was over sixty
dollars, of which he had already paid
ten aouars. uutsiae 01 uiai, iuuuguf
he was only four dollars in debt; and
he was paying twenty dollars a month
on his home. Anybody could see, he
said, that all that took money?it
kept a fellow hustling pretty much all
the time.
"We were stirred by his story. We
had been looking, we told him, for
a man like him. We wanted to know
how any man, with nothing but a
truck-driver's wages, and with the
cost of living bumping the stars,
could do what he was doing; support
a wife and ten children, keep six in
school nicely dressed, pay doctor's
bills, and buy books, buy a home and
stay out of debt. 'We-ell,' he said,
cocking one eye toward the brightening
sky, 'there ain't much to it 'cept
keeping on. tne nustie every nour
every day?and having a good wife.
'Course, a man can't spend a thing
on himself.'
"We passed on, strangely uplifted
by this contact with heroic courage.
Ten minutes later, hearing a broker
complain of the -'hard times,' we
laughed."?Augusta Chronicle.
LUTHER TO MAJORS.
Former Carlisle Boy Signs With Chicago
White Sow
It will be of interest to fans
throughout the entire state to knowthat
"Punk" Luther, star Newberry
college moundsman, w*ho has pitched
stellar ball for Sumter this season,
has been signed by a scout for the
Chicago White Sox team and that he
will report to them after the completion
of his college course next June.
For the past two seasons Luther has
been regarded as the best college
pitcher in the state and it was rumored
some time ago that several
other big league teams were after
him. Luther has all a pitcher needs,
speed, a sharp fast breaking curve
and a change of pace. In addition

Gay Embroideries and Striking Color
Schemes.
Chicago, September 15.?Gay
embroideries on dark frocks, '
lacy effects for evening wear
and striking color combinations
with skirts down to ten inches ;
from the ground, will be characteristic
of winter styles for women, according
to the Fashion Art League
of America. Gowns will be fashioned
after the lines of the figure, but not .
form-fitting, the league announced.
Sleeves will be tight from shoulder to
elbow, with a decided flare below.
The newstyles will be displayed at
the annual convention of the league
next week.
"The day of following fashions like
a flnnlr nf chppn is r>VPT\" Alia Rinlev.
president of the league, said: "Women
in America are women of affairs,
and our fashions mu9t appeal to the
conservative taste, contrary to the
edicts of Paris, which demand that
costumes be created for the actress
and demimonde."
Dog Actors Barred From Beaches.
Chicago.?Volunteer dog actors
which frequent Chicago bathing dur
ins the summer have been banned by
police at one north side beach because
the crowds they collect along
fashionable Lake Shore Drive alb- i
struct traffic.
A half dozen dogs spend most of
their time during the summer months
at the beach, ready to dive, chase
sticks and catch balls thrown by anyone
who will stop to play with them.
Chief of the canine entertainers is
Dixie, a pedigreed Airdale with 'the
temperament of a prima donna, his
own set of stage, or rather bench
properties and a list of tricks which
cause scores to line the shore, walk
any time he consents to perform,
vhich is usually from morning unti.1
late in the evening.
Dixie likes to attract attention, and
he has his own method of collecting
a crowd. He brings with him to the
beach two sticks, each about a foot
long, and a cork ball the size of a
baseball. Selecting- a prospective assistant
for his act, Dixie offers either
the sticks or the ball to be thrown
into the lake.
Retrieving the prize, the Airdale ignores
his first friend and stops a new
passerby, repeating the process until ?
a large crowd is collected. He rarely j
offers stocks or ball to the same per- 1
son twice in succession, depending on 1
his impartiality to keep the greatest ]
number of people interested. j
The dog has perfected his act until !
he is able to catch a ball thrown to
him from a distance of fifty feet or
more and to snap fly balls without let
ting them touch the ground.
NO SOLICITING OF FUNDS.
Rescue Home Commander Says it
Means Closing.
i
i
Ofangeburg, Sept. 15.?Mayor Liv- .
ingston has issued an order prohibiting
the public soliciting of funds fori
the American Rescue Home here. The
order, states the mayor, was based on (
affidavits charging immoral practices
at the home. The commander of the
home, Major W. L. Griggs, told the
mayor his order means the closing of
the home. However, it is still open.
Major Griggs denies Immoral practices
at the home and defends its operation.
He exhibited a petition signed
by several hundred citizens, many
of whom are influential and prominent,
protesting against any action
which might tend to hinder the op
eration of the home. The petition
also states that the home has accomplished
much good in the community.
The petition is addressed to the city
council, but has not as yet been officially
presented 'to that body.
The local home is said to be a
branch of the American Rescue
Workers of America. It has been in
operation here for the past six years.
