A member oft tho Fauquier Club at Wnrrcnton Is the originator of an Innovation which has completely upset the tiadltlons of a State where ho Julep Was old beforo tho nation was an Infant. Fauquier tounty, as everybody knows, hafe voted dry. Furthermore, Bho Is dry dry as a debato on tho metal fcchcdulo of tho tariff. During tho Warrcnlon horse show a number of WashlnKtonlnns were guests of tho Fauquier Club. Half a dozen of them sat niouruT a hiiKo table and sighed dismally. Conveisatlon lan guished. One sprightly member, In a moment of misguided sociability, began tho description of a New Orleans gin fizz. He caught the ees of four of thp guests tlxcd upon him with a stare of Implacable hatred. He turned rod and became silent. Finally the host lifted his voice. "You gentlemen," he said gently, "seem hi need of a little refreshment." A chorus of moans afTlrmed his guess. "With dignity ho arose and beckoned a vt alter. "liring me," said he, "a bicycle pump." "-Now look here," snapped a short, norvous man, savagely, "If you think you can k.d us ' "A Virginia gentleman," replied tho host, In tones ot mild rebuke, "nover , finds humor In the plight of his guests. Henry, Where Is thut blcyclo pump ' Tho host ordered glasses placed .be fore his guests and departed In his own calm way. It was nbt long before ho returned, tenderly nursing the pump! tho plung ing rod of which, his guests noticed, was drawn to the uttermost limit. Leaning over tho Hist guest's glass, tho host plunged a slight push. "Say when," ho urged. And the open mouthed guest beheld a stream of dark red rye gusli forth from the nozzlo or tho pump.' Tho pump wont around the table and Joy eclipsed dull gloom as the sun dims the teeble light of the stars. "Rut, my dear sir," said ono of the pucFts. aft?r tho pump had been passoii Around the socond time, "why all this foi niullt ' Why the bl.-yclo pump." "Well." replied the. host, "to bo frank, wo liavo found that in this region of dromrht It is necessary to purchase our rctioshmcnt In ten-gallon demijohns." Ho p-iured. " ml," he conoli'dcd, "next to Icadln' r4 ball.y mule theie is nothing on this j: recti iirth quite as difficult as rfourln' liquor Horn u ten-gallon leccptacle." Ill LOCKS UP THE CENSUS TAKER 0maha.

According to the story she told the pollco. Miss Stlckley was confined in the home of Mrs. A. Daugherty, Forty seventh and H Htreots, for more than an hour. She wus released by a police officer. MUs Stlckley, It was said ot her home, was almost piostrated by tho oxperlonco and hor mother Is also suffering from tho shock. Mrs. J. F. Stlckley gave tho following account of the incident: "Mv daughter, who Is an active worker in the Interdenominational chin oil, c.i lied at Mrs. Daughei ty's homo In taking Hip religious census. Mrs. Puughct ty was sitting on tho patch docketing some laco and tears weie falling fiom her eyes. My daugh tot wan touched by the sight, tlllnk Ing thdt tho woman was In trotlblc. She stnti'd her errand, when tho wom an n.-ked her Into the house. As she walked in, Mrs. Daugherty locked the door and thrust the key down the front of her diem. Then she begin to Upbraid my daughter and swore at her " "I'm going to burn you at the stake u.id tlnu.st red-hot pokers through you,' t-lm i ried. 'I'm going to put you whore on can't bo walking the streets like tin' crazy girl you are.' "My daughter was helpless, as she Is much smaller than her assailant. Finally tho woman called a policeman and told him to come and get a crazy girl that sho had with her. "My daughter was overjoyed when the policeman arrived and released her She was very 111 last night from tho shock and wo feared a nervous breakdown."

NOW IS THE TIE TO "Eat What You Can, Can What You Can't,' Advises Sher man. "Now Is the tlmo to huy peaches. Eat what you can and can what you can t." i This odvlco, offered to householders by John H. Sherman, Superintendent of Weights, Measures, and Markets, ap plies nlso to vegetables of every varl-d ety. Prices, he says, aro lower than they have been since 1901. "This Is tho neck." declares Superin tendent Sherman, In a bulletin Issued today." Next week, too, but this week Is the best. Bottom prices and lop qualities are hoto this week. "Buy in quantities. Seventy-five cents Is a good price for a standard cr.Ue of peaches. A dollar will buy the best. In other words, pouches aro low enough to offset tho price of sugar. "To those who drlio an nutomobllo to work or for pleasure, this Is a good opportunity to comttlno economy with luxury. Corry your own crate home and one for your neighbor. "Tho cost of living Is low In Wash ington for all who desire It." Watermelons, Mr. Shermnn says, aro plentiful and may be bought at small cost. BOZEN IN THE ALPS Its Value Lies in Strategic and CorrTmercial Point to Ger many and Italy. Thp hustling little city of Rozon. nes tling In tho heart of the Tyrolean Al'ps. probably will bo brought Into the lime light In a mlltary way. Commanding the Brenner "outo between Germany and Italy and communication with Switzerland by the Upper Adlgo vallor. Its value as a -itratogic nnd commercial point is unquestionably great. This Toutonlc-spoakiugti-wn, with Its Italian setting, surrounded by mountain scenery of rare plcturesqueness, singu lar as It may hecm, has never exploited the two mot wonderful of Its resources, climate and ieenrv, but goes on about its business, stolid and unperturbed. While Bozen Is Iho oontor of many, fine automobile routes, and has some inter esting history. It' Is somewhat off the trodden trail of tho tano tourist. Tho town belo'iol at one time to tho dynasty of Bavarian counts, and In 1027 was turned oer to the Bishop of Trent. When the Tyrol went Into the hands of the Hapjburgors. Bozen even tually became a cart of It. Tho fertile oll Is especially adapted to vineyards and truck farming, and tho mnrkot place Is an Imposing sight Hero the thrifty housewives come to dicker with tho buxom peasant women nnd the landlord to select tho most tempting things for dinner. There aro the ubiquitous arcade lined with well-kept shops and tho Innumer able streets running hither and thither, flagrantly defjlng the compass. There will probably be a beer garden on tho plaza Just outside your hotel window where tho gayly-dressed villag ers throng to sip their beer und to listen to music by tho bund. Tho town has an Interesting old schloss situated on a circular cliff which rises abruptly from tho river. Its mas sive towers ore gray and gloomy, but their formidable aspect Is somewhat les sened by birds nesting In their port holes. The old castle, with Its moat and draw bridge. Its background of wild scenery, agio." and coloiful In tho quiet somno lence of approaching evening, would, from the most unpoetlc soul, compel tho fleeting tribute of a sigh.

PEACHES I BUSTLING CITY COTTON CROP LESS THAN 191 4 YIELD Greatest Falling Off Is Shown in Producing Centers of Geor gia and Alabama. The 1915 cotton crop will be DP.2 per cent of a normal, or 8 8 per cent less In quantity than tho yield of last year, ac cording to the est! i tea Issued today by the crop reporting board of tho Bu reau of Crop Estimates of the Depart ment of Agriculture. Tho estimated yield on August 25 of t9.2 Is 0.1 per cent less than the report ed acreago on July 25, 1915; 1 per cent less than that reported August 26, 1913, and 3.6 per cent less than the average on August 25 of the past ton years. In only two States are Increases shown over 1911 In the estimated crops this year. The Tennessee crop Is estimated ut K per cent, against 76 per cent In 1914, and an estimated yield of 81 per cent Is reported for Missouri, against 72 per cent last year. The greatest falling off In cotton yield is shown In tho great producing centers of Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Florida, where the estimated 'de crease Is reported aa 12 per cent In tho first three States, and 1! per cent In Florida. The report shows a general falling off over the year 1914, when 209 2 pounds to tho acre was the average yield. This was the most abundant yield In the past ten years, 1911 and 1906 figuring second and third greatest with an aver age per aero of 207.7 pounds and 202.5 pounds In tho respective years. Tho reported yield for this year ex coeds that of only two years, 1913 and 1909. according to the comparisons con tained In the crop estimate report. TRENlOTETCH FORM MILES More Earth Turned in Digging Them Than in Constructing Panama Canal. Evcrv day of every week for many months tho papers have been talking about trenches. "Trench" Is, at present, the commonest word In the English lan guage, and from pictures 'and photo graphs every one Is as familiar with tho look of trenches as he Is with tho sound of the word. For all that. It is not likely that the nverage man has formed any real Idea of tba gigantic amount of digging which has been done uo to date. The front along which the Germans and allies face one another, from tho North Sea to Switzerland, is, roughly, 400 miles long. The opposing lines of the Russians and the Austro-Germ&ns are fullv 500 miles In length. Along these 900 miles of front, each army has dug Itself In. But this does not mean that there are only 1.S0O miles of trenches. Each army. It must be remembered, has at least three lines of trenches, one behind the other, so that If the first' le taken it has others to fall back upon. Ono must, therofore, multiply l.Soo by three, which coftics to 6,400 miles, or a trench Ion genough to reach from Liver pool right across the Atlantic ocean and the whole of tho American continent, cndlmc up at San Francisco. This Is without mentioning communi cating trenches, through which forces are brought forward In safety to tho fire trenches. The length of these Is not easy to estimate, but If you add another two miles for each mllo of iroiu, you win certainly bo well on the safa side. This brings the estimate up to 7.2X) miles, but this Is not yet near the total. In Belgium the Teutons have constructed at least another 600 miles of trenches rendy to oppose the advanco of the- allies, and no doubt another 200 more on tho Rhine. The allies havo dug about 300 miles of trenches In East Anglla to cluck a pos blble raid, and another 100 miles or so along the Suez Canal. Around Cracow, Priemynl, and other great fortnesses in the east the ground Is honeycombed for miles. Allow an other 100 miles for these fortifications, nnd the totnl reaches 8,500 miles, a dis tance about equal to tho full breadth of Europe nnd Asia together. Tho average trench Is six feet deep, and five feet wide at the top. Including traverses and dugouts, you may put It that two cubic yards of earth havo been removed for every yard of trench dU. To cut the Panama Canal took thir teen years. The wnter Is thirty-one feet deep and the length of the canal about ninety miles. Yet the total bulk of soil moved was only about one-half as much again as that shifted by the arm ies that have dug themselves In since last August. U.SJCLI1GTEST Eastland Disaster Causes Gov ernment to Establish Rule to Prove Stability. NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-One of the di rect results of the Eostland disaster and Its effects on the steamboat Inspec tion service of the Department of Com merce Is a new law added to the rules of tho service making "Inclining tests" of vessels Imperative when the stability of any vessel is questioned. This new departure thus Introduces into the merchant marine of the United States a custom that Is almost unknown here In actual practice although al ways made by our naval constructors In the caso of navy ships. The new rule was received In the local .office of the stoamboat Inspection service In the custom house on Au gust 16. It Is contained In a circular lottpr addressed to "United States Su pervising and Local Inspectors. Steam boat Inspection Service,'' and reads; When Inspectors have any reason to question the stability of any es sel under their Jurisdiction they shall require the owners of the ves sel to make Inclining tests on such vessel under tho supervision of ex pet t naval architects provided by tho Department of Commerce. In practice this wou'd mean that when one of the New York local In spectors thought a ship too "cranky" he would notify Washington of the matter and then wash his hands of the rospoiiulhlllt) until the Department of Commerce saw fit to pro Ida a naval architect to superintend an inclining test CRANKY HIP GREAT AIRSHIP CITY AT SHEf PSHEAD BAY Aviation Plant and School Could Defend Coast When Danger Threatened. NEW TORK, Aug. 30.-An aeronaut ical center that would -develop 'Into s military camp whenever danger threat ens this part of the Atlantic seaboard Is being planned at Shcepshead Bay. The civil engineer who helped to build the Ynlo Punchbowl and the Bheepshcnd Bay Speedway Everett Thompson has taken up the project. and has outlined an aero city, In which will be one of the largest plane manu facturing plants In the country and a doublo row of concrete buildings, hous ing students and Instructors In the fly ing game, military and civilian ex perts and many sportsmen and enthu siasts. Tho military Importanace of th's pro posed city la emphasized by the Aero Club, which Is campaigning for a strong squadron or volunteer and reg ular army aviators. Sheepshead Bay Is to Attract many aeronautical enthu siasts who behove In preparedness. In a month or so the first flying bouts will take place on the grounds of the Shcepshead Bay Speedway Company. It will be spring, however, before tho urogram of weekly races. Including intercity flights and championships, mail-carrying contests and other aero features, will be put Into effect. New Mechanical Devices. The flrst details of tho proposed aero colony In Sheepshead Bay were sup plied by an official of the Aero Club of America. Concrete buildings , re-enforced with steel beams and containing many acres of floor space, are being planned. When tho long street Is completed It will remind tho spectator of tho new factories In Long Island City. The hangars will bo topped with skylights and will have many windows, so that every corner will' be flooded with light. Besides living quarters for the avia tors nnd their students there will be the latest mechanical devices for hand ling the machines. Turntables, for In stance, will be Installed, so that 'planes may be run head first after their flight Into tho building and wheeled out Inter for Instant use without the delay that generally Is caused by turning them around In the field. Plattsburp; Camp Disappointing-. Each of theso buildings, the numocr of which has not been determined as yet. will have room enough for the con struction and assembling of two aero planes at a time. The hangars are ex pected to be sixty feet by sixty. The Piattsburg Instruction camp has proved dUappolntlng, not to tho army officers and students, who aro Interested mostly In Infantry, cavalry, and en gineering tactics, but to the supporters und advocates of aeronautics. Two machines were sent up to the camp on Champlaln, and competent men wpre told off to them, but the ground ivhlch had been allotted to them has not mot their needs. Space Is limited and the aviators have feared to cxpeil ment. The armv officers of the Platts burg camp. In fact, have advised the flying men-to discontinue their experi ments. Sheepshraa Ray, It Is hoped, will afford aviators tho training w hlch is necessary before Now York cltv can be defended adequately In tho air.

That was demonstrated with tho wedding here recently In which Miss Laura Lou Slaughter, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Slaughter of thla city, and Dr. Oscar Edward Lynott ot Cape Town, South Africa, played the leading roles. Nine years ago Dr. Lynott of the far away black country, came to Green Bay, Wis. He met Miss Slaughter. At social functions they were thxown together and gradually the bond of af fection drew them closer. Her remarkable accomplishment aa an artist and a musician had an added charm for the doctor and he lingered longer than he had Intended. He pro posed to Miss Slaughter, but the thought of going to his home across the seas was not at all encouraging to the girl. Hence Dr. Lynott made the trip alone. Ho worked hard during the years that followed, and his greatest cheer was a letter from the girl. He longed to re turn, but wonted success first. His toll brought what he wanted and this vear he boarded a liner and went to San Francisco to scs the Exposl- But the Exposition sights were not the things he longed most to look at. After a short visit to the West he startrJ eastward. He reached Green Bay. where he met old-time friends, and tnen Journeyed to Ephrlam. Ho proposed again and was accepted.
