TO STEAL 1,000 KISSES
9—_______
New York, July 30.—Girls of the
Middle West, look out for the “kiss-
ing vagabond.”
He is an Irish nobleman, and a poet
besides, and he has wagered $5,000
that he will kiss 1,000 girls between
New York and San Francisco in
thirty days. And he’s on his way.
It came around like this: The Irish
poet was sitting in a Greenwich vil-
lage cafe, talking to his two boon
companions, the one a musician and
the other an artist, and was waxing
enthusiastic about the charms of Am-
erican girls on one hand and his own
irresistibility on the other. His com-
panions laughed—hence the bet.
The artist and the musician are ac-
companying him as umpires.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 3.—
Newspaper publicity was decided to-
day at a joint meeting of the Adver-
tising Men’s Club and the Fort Worth
Manufacturers’ Association to be the
best advertising medium in a choice
between newspaper publicity and a
permanent exhibition of products.
Each association voted individually
with the same results. The advertis-
ing men voted first unanimously,
agreeing on the publicity campaign.
The manufacturers then voted with
the same results.
A publicity committee was named.
This committee will have charge of
the campaign to raise $15,000, among
local manufacturers. The money will
be expended during the ensuing year
on newspaper publicity to advestise
Fort Worth products to the State of
Texas and the Southwest.
A head-on collision between two
automobiles on the Texas street road
just outside the city limits last night
resulted in the practical destruction
of both cars.
One of the cars was headed toward
Whitewright and loaded with negroes,
while the other was coming toward
Denison, three white men occupying
it. Officers answering the call found
the negroes r^ear the scene of the ac-
cident but the white men had disap-
peared. The negroes clarified that
the white men were traveling at the
rate of seventy-five miles an hour and
that they were drunk. Evidence of
liquor was found by the officers.
The car driven by the white men
rolled over the dump and was a total
wreck. No trace of the men occu-
pying the car had been found this
morning. The negroes hired a taxi
and were taken to Whitewright.—

F. M. ECHOLS, Mayor.
We probably turn our stock
more often than any grocery
in town because of our im-
mense business. This insures
you absolutely FRESH and
wholesome groceries.
Hudson Maxim, the famous inven-
tor of guns and other implements of
war, writing in the New York Tri-
bune, warns of the horrors which will
accompany the next war.
“Twenty years ago I predicted that
the airplane, which is able to overgo
all barriers, would place inland posi-
tions on the firing line. This was
done to a large extent in the world
war. Paris and London were bom-
barded and, had the war continued a
little longer, Berlin would have been
wiped off the map and its inhabitants
destroyed. Enormous airplanes, cap-
able of carrying tons of poisonous
gases, had been built and they were
almost ready to begin the flight to
Berlin for the destruction of that city
when the armistice was signed.
“In the next great war we are
going to see germs of the most dead-
ly disease sown broadcast by air-
planes. We are going to see inland
cities smothered in poisonous gases
and tens of thousands of inhabitants
—men, women and children—killed
in a few minutes.
“Fleas and cooties or body lice will
be infected with bubonic plague and
typhus fever and other deadly ail-
ments and sowed by billions over the
inhabitants of enemy countries. Rats
and mice will be infected with bubon-
ic plague and let down from airplanes
to spread contagion. There will be
no place that one may hide himself
and be safe from attack. All non-
combatants will be exposed to de-
struction as the sinful, according to
Revelation, are to be exposed on the
Judgment Day.
“Bombs carrying from half a ton
to a ton of high explosives can now
be carried by airplanes and dropped
with most disastrous results, either
upon or about enemy warships and
upon enemy fortifications and enemy
cities.
“Warefare today has lost most of
the old heroics of combat between
man and man, with pistol and clank-
ing sword. Present day warfare is
viperous work; it is murder, pure and
simple. There is nothing glorious
about it, for there can be nothing
glorious in smothering with poisonous
gases a city full of wonif ri arid chil-
dren.
“As chairman of the committee on
ordnance and ex; .osives of the naval
consulting board I had an opportun-
ity during tb<. war of examining more
military ■ nd naval inventions than
anyone ever before was called upon
to examine in the same time. Among
the inventions submitted was a pois-
onous gas which the inventor claimed
would be far more deadly than any-
thing yet produced. I have lately
seen in the press announcements that
we have a poisonous gas three drops
of which, striking the body of a man,
will result in certain death, and the
vapor from one drop will surely be
fatal. Possibly this is the same gas
that was submitted to me. We mean
by ‘gas’ the vapor of the poisonous
substance that produces the gas or
vapor.
“Mustard gas, so-called, is not a
gas; it is a lipuid with a boiling point
higher than that of water, but dis-
'' -solves in the air quite rapidly and the
air impregnated with it is very dead-
ly. \ Chlorine, however, is much more
volatile. Chlorine is carried in cylin-
ders \in liquid form, and the instant
that rt is liberated it becomes gaseous,
whereas mustard gas, or the liquid
from Which mustard gas is evolved,
will remain in a liquid state for many
hours. I Some of the positions of the
Allies attacked with mustard gas by
the Germans were so saturated and
covered1 by the Germans with that
material that it is said that mustard
gas actually ran down the gutters of
village streets.
“Is it possible that we have reach-
ed a stage of intellectual development
and mechanical accomplishment that
is going to be suicidal. Is it possible
that the human race is going to turn
all. its wonderful instrumentalities of
this mechanical age to the destruc-
tion of humankind? Are the same
instrumentalities which have lifted
mankind out of barbarism to be em-
ployed to send him back to barbar-
ism?
“I have often, in lectures and writ-
ings, called attention to the fact that
the human race has advanced more
in everything that makes for human
progress during the last hundred and
fifty years than it had previously ad-
vanced in all the long drawn ages
that had elapsed since man came out
of the cave.
“I am 68 years old and during my
lifetime have seen wrought three-
quarters of all the accomplishments
to which man today owes his elevated
position. In terms of human pro-
gress, I was born more than half way
back to the cave man. Is it possible
that I shall live to see the work of
the past century and a half undone?
I expect to live another twenty years,
perhaps thirty. Is it possible that I
shall live to see Mars undo all that
the inventor and his inventions have
done in one,^hundred and fifty years

“It is now a well known

race can be traced directly to
the teeth. It is a matter of
keen regret to me now that I
did not take-better care of my
teeth when I was young.

/ THE REXALL STORF,
and she will walk with
strut.
And how elusive! How baffling!
How mysterious! Oh, la, la, la!
She will appear in the afternoon a
blond, and, perhaps, in the evening
a medium brunet—all depending up-
on her gown. Light gown, light hair;
dark gown, dark hair. “Transforma-
tions” will be the rage.
She will seem several inches taller
than she is today, In her hair she
will wear feathers, fan shaped, accen-
tuating her height and imparting
class and a touch of the chic.
The feathers will be the excuse for
the peacock strut.
Miss America, in a word, is to be
tall and rather haughty, perhaps to
the extent of reviving the elevated
handshake and the tilted nose.
Madame Louise, beauty expert and
moving spirit in the National Asso-
ciation of Hairdressers, in convention
here, is authority for these state-
ments. In an interview with the
United News she sounded the doom
of bobbed hair and the inauguration
of the reign fo the artificial and
abundant locks.
“Bobbed hair? Oh, no, no, no, no,”
said Madame Louise. “It’s passe. It
can be worn only by the most tender
flapper age. It may be healthy, but
it’s not stylish. The high, dignified
hair dress, with curls or feathers, will
be the new thing.
“The feminine ear is to emerge,'
but not under bobbed hair. Milady t
will put her hair up high. Before the
winter social season is over artificial
hair will be all the go. So will trans-
formations. The hair will match the
gown, as near as practicable.
“Blonds again will be in vogue. In
the last ten years women have quit
bleaching. Hence, a shortage in
blonds. But this winter is to be the
blond’s big season,
have to be blond.”
Madame Louise was asked
American woman would not
to false hair.
“Gracious, no!” she replied,
ty-five per cent of the women wear
false hair right now.”
