"I'm a drowned man and that's all

a reporter, as ho began tho story of
Banzai. "I haven't seen tho Vlscar
slnco tho night I was drowned In tho
South Pncltlc, but I'vo heard from my
old chief, and ho says I'm cnrrlcd on

"It dawned on me mighty quick that

"Well, sir, I had eomo funny

I had gono overboard at midnight. I

DISCUSS FREEDOM OF AIR
Jurists of the World Are Torn Oven
Sovereignty of 8pace Above
Territory.
London. In tho sixteenth and
seventeenth ccnturlos tho Jurists of
tho world poured forth learned
treatises on the freedom of tho scaa
and In thoso days Englishmen wcro
tho groat champions of tho doctrlno
of mnro llberum, whllo tho Continental
scholars upheld tho notion of niaro
clausum.
Today tho Jurists of tho world nro
busy with tho discussion of tho free
dom of tho nlr, and the rolca aro
reversed. English professors almost
unanimously maintain tho doctrlno of
sovereignty over tho air, spneo above
tho territory, while their colleagues
abroad insist that tho stato has no
dominion.
The need for tho assertion of Btato
sovereignty ia implicitly recognized In
our aerial navigation act of 1011;
which empowers the government to
interdict flying over any area when it
chooses.
At tho same tlmo tho principal ot
state sovereignty does not Interfere
with tho right of lnnocont passage
through the air which tho comity and
Intercourse of nations require.
Subject only to precautions neces
sary for tho safety of the subjacent
population and public security liberty
to fly over tho land will doubtless bo
accorded by the state to foreigners
as well.aB nationals.
The position will be similar to that
taken up in regard -to territorial wa
ters, says tho Law Journal, through
which thero Is a right of lnnocont pas
sago to all vessels, though thoy aro
subject to tho dominion of the neigh
boring state.
In fact, the air Juridically resembles
not thi opon ocean, but tho marginal
sea. '

MAKING FOR HEALTH
8Y8TEMATIC DAILY EXERCISE A
NECESSITY OF LIFE.
Future Health of Children Depends
Largely Upon the Flrat Years. of
Their Upbjlldlng Fresh Air
the Vital Point.
It is really pathetic to seo young
glrlB and women who for tho want of
n llttlo systematic dally cxcrclso nro
thin, pallid and weakly. Many women
nro really not what they tnaku them
scIvcb believe thoy nro. At tho slight
est exertion they say they nro fatigued
all fagged out, unable, to do anything
else for tho rest of the day. This
feeling Is really just a habit that they
havo acquired and should got rid of
ns soon as possible. If you want to
llvo long nnd bo healthy get tho no
tion out of your head that every llt
tlo thing tires you all out, nnd that
It la Impossible to do moro than n few
regular, necessary llttlo duties every
day.
Unless a woman la bodily 111 or crip
plod .thero Ib no reason why sho can
not send tho blood bounding through
all her veins In such n manner as to
stamp tho glow'of health upon her en
tire body. Mothers of largo families
with n household to supot Intend have
not much time, I know, but It Ib their
duty to see that their children take
some form of exerclGo dally aside
rrom the regular routine. Their fu
turo health nnd llfo depend upon it.
Dozens nnd dozens of sickly and con
sumptive children ure being saved
yearly by hygienic habits, fresh air,
Bunshlno and cxcrclso.
It Is not necessary to adopt exer
cises which take' up a great deal of
tlmo unless one wishes to and has
tho tlmo to glvo, nor la It necessary
to havo nil sorts of apparatus to ob
tain tho best results in exercising.
Ono of tho best built women I over
saw told mo tho other day that Bho
exercised ever slnco sho could re
member, and never had any bought
instruments for her work. Everything
was home-made. To their use nnd to
sunshine and pure, fresh air, sho owes
all that she is today.
It is an easy thing to add a slmplo
exercise to one's regular toilet work
In tho morning and again a llttlo at
night before retiring. It may be just
learning to breathe properly. Yet this
alone can save you from a cold or per
haps something moro serious.
In tho morning when you awake, if
possible, have someone como into
your room before you rise and throw
wide your windows if they have not
been fully open throughout the night.
Lie limp in bed. Inhale through the
nose; Fill your lungs to their fullest
capacity nnd then slowly exhale. Do
this at least four times or six if you
wish. Just before retiring at night,
and without any rcstrlctivo clothing,
stand nt nn opon window with hands
on hips, thumbs pointed backward nnd
while, Inhaling rlso slowly upon the
toco; hold tho breaAh while" counting
three, nnd slowlyv Whllo cxhnltng,
drop back upon tho feet Repeat a
half dozen times. Six minutes night
and morning is all that is ncceBsary.
Tho truo valuo of that twelvo minutes
of cxcrclso every day, If continued
'for five or six months, will bo so fully
apparent that If It required twice tho
amount of time you could not bo
'tempted to glvo it up.
' If tho coming generation Is to bo
strong nnd healthy tho present ono
jinust pavo tho way, and to do this pa
rents and children alike must take
somo active exercise.
UN VELVET AND VELVETEEN
Gorgeous Wraps Are to Be a Feature
of Style That Will Mark
the Coming Season.
Velvet and velveteon are to be
used again this winter in the compo
sition of comfortable and handsome
iouter wraps. Theso havo many points
of usefulness, which fully ncounted
for their great popularity last year
and in tho spring. They aro, how
ovor, only sultablo for wearing over
short skirts which dp not need hold
ing up, and even soithoy are apt to
bo in tho way on muddy days, for it
Is very difficult to cleanso mud stains
from velvet.
On tho other hand, they frequently
save tho troublo of changing the
dross, slnco they lend a sufficiently
afternoon appearance to the figure
even when thoy aro worn over com
paratively plain costumes. They also
form an admirable background for
furs, with a glimpse of laco at tho
throat.
A smart model has a turned-back
collar of sailor sliapo not extended in
Jong rovers to tho waist, which forms
a pleasant chango. On tho waist lino
It Is fastened by a motif of folded
black velvet and braid, and to this
fastening It is drawn slightly up in
fullness from the right to tho left
aldo. This glveH it a very up-to-dato
nlr for anybody who has tho patience
to bo eternally brushing.
