Fats Surely Has Dealt Harshly With
Inventor Who Had Planned
Great Things.
After having worked in vain for 50
years pn an invention which he hoped
would solve the problem of aviation,
Frederick Merrill Shaw, eighty-seven
years old, of 237 North Grand avenue,
slipped on a banana peel at First and
Main streets yesterday morning and
sustained injuries from which physi-
cians at the Receiving hospital say
he can never permanently recover.
"It's the irony of fate," the old man
said. "I have devoted nearly all my
life to my invention, which, when per-
fected, would in reality permit men to
fly in the clouds with the safety of
birds, and here I am on a hospital cot
as the result of a simple accident on
the ground."
Mr. Shaw is suffering from a frac-
tured limb, his left leg having been
broken near the nip. Owing to his
advanced years it is not considered
likely that he will ever be able to
walk.
While discussing the accident and
his life work Mr. Shaw, who is one of
the city's well-known eccentric char-
acters, took from his pocket a sheet
of paper on which was drawn a dia-
gram of the air machine he had labored
on for so many years. He exhibited
it with pride, declaring if he only had
more time and a little money he could
yet perfect it. His device is of the
famous Darius Green type, providing
huge wings to be operated by men
birds. About twenty years ago he
thought he had finished his invention,
and in giving a public demonstration,
fell from the roof of a two-story build-
ing and broke a number of bones.
^TJpon three different occasions he at-
tempted to prove to the world that he
had mastered the air problem, and
each time fell to the ground, twice
breaking the same limb that was frac-
tured yesterday.—Los Angeles Times.

REALISM RULES IN NURSERY
Gone Is the Day of Affected Styles
That Prevailed in Olden
Times.
Is the doll face done for? Not on
ladies, of course—that were too much
to hope—but at any rate on dolls.
"God has given you one face,'' says
Hamlet to the doll designers, "and you
make yourselves another." The sim-
pering, pudgy sweetness of fat cheeks
and fat foreheads and teeth like a
picket fence nas been thrust upon
children year after year as a model
of feminine perfection, until one can
hardly blame the way young ladies
have taken to imitating it, between
eighteen and twenty-two.
But that is over now. Realism has
invaded the nursery. The toy shops
are full of real baby dolls. They have
a jolly sort of every-day kiddishness
about them. Roly-poly and a bit
gawky, they look very mlich like an
infant at its most investigating age,
and with a subtle insight into the
wishy-washy frame ol mind behind the
baby-doll face, the makers call them
"character" babies. Hooray for char-
acter!—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

A Party
On Saturday evening at the
pretty home of Mr. and Mrs. H.
Haidusek, Miss Milly entertained
her friends with a forty-two
party in honor of her eighteenth
birthday. The hours were de-
lightfully spent, until after nine
interesting (games when Mrs. G.
Herzik and Mrs. A. Herzik cut
for first prize, the latter cut
high and received a beautiful
hand embroidered towel. Mr.
Eustace Cernosek scored for the
gentleman's prize, and carried
away a handsome neck tie. Miss
Annie Herzik took the booby for
ladies, a beautiful embroidered
handkerchief, and Mr. A Herzik
was delighted in winning the
boobv prize for gentlemen, a pair
of corn cob pipes, tied daintily
together witi~ blue ribbon.
A delicious course of ice cream
and cake was served and done
justice to by all.
Those enjoying Miss Milly's
hospitality were Emil Vacek and
family, J. L. Haidusek and fam-
ily, Alfons Herzik and family, Ed
Mladenka and family, Gus Her-
zik and family, Mrs. F. Herzik
and children of Houston, Adolph
Herzik, Louis Herzik, Willie Keu-
per, Eustace Cernosek, Fred Ra-
ble, Johnnie Janca, Eddie Teinp-
lin, Paul Templin, Misses Annie
Herzik, Agnes Bohac, Annie and
Milly Templin. A Guest.

He Must H*ve Cat Lives.
William Carroll, a driver of 389
First avenue, was held in $2,500 bail
in the Yorkville court on a charge of
pushing Mortimer Thompson, a jew-
eler of New Brunswick, N. J., off the
Twenty-third street subway platform
on to the track on December 6. Two
cars passed over Thompson, but only
bruised him.
"I guess I'll die a natural death,"
Thompson said. "Wflien I was a baby
my nurse dropped me out of a window.
When I was a boy I fell out of a
fourth-story window and a clothes line
broke my fall. Four years ago I was
shot in the head when I happened ac-
cidentally upon some revolver play.
A month ago I escaped drowning when
an automobile I was in over in New
Jersey ran into the river."—New York

Charging It Up.
Representative Carter Glass, con-
gratulated on the currency bill, said:
"It has received a good deal of
unfriendly criticism, but it is a good
bill, a fair bill. If all bills were as
fair we would be well off. But all
bills aren't as fair. Take the Blue
Ridge doctor's bill, for example.
"A Blue Ridge man, on receiving
his doctor's bill, hurried to the doc-
tor's office and protested:
"'What does this mean, doc? Be-
sides the stipulated fee you have
charged me $100 extra for instru-
ments!'
" 'Yes, I kno\^' said the doctor.
'That's for a very valuable saw that
1 left in your wife after her operation
through inadvertence.'"

Observation of Sun Spots.
Astronomers in the Carothers ob-
servatory at Houston, Tex., report a
new method for observing sun spots
without the aid of a telescope, as fol-
lows: If images of the sun be formed
through clean cut round holes of
proper size in a darkened room at suf-
ficient distance from the aperture and
cast upon clean white paper or card-
board, sun spots of ordinary size may
be readily seen on the image. This
method would enable amateurs to note
the progress of the spots across the
Bolar disk.
The Young Wife.
"My wife got her recipes mixed and
all her hard work went for nothing."
"How was that?"
"She tried to make chocolate fudge
out a formula for cleaning brass
work.''

A Hint to The Houswives
Cut down the high cost of living by using Chef Oil for
your cakes, etc. A pure vegetable product now sell-
ing at 10c per pound or 75c per gallon. Remember
use only half as much oil for baking as butter or lard
with better results and your cakes will keep fresh
much longer and will not get hard and dry if m&de
with Chef Oil.
