Jardine Plans Way
to Spend the Sewer
Fund During Year
City Commissioner Jardiuo of the de
partment of public improvements will
chII the other commlhStoiuTS into con
ference next Mlonday or Tuesday for
discussion of a sewer program for the
year. There will b available during
the year 1300,000 for sewer construction
v ork, and the problem Is how ta expend
this money to the best advantage. Mr.
Jardine's Idea Is to outline In advance a
complete program for the year, rather
than Involve the council In frequent dis
cussions during the year. . .
A tentative program, prepared by the
city engineers, entails an estimated ex
penditure of $179,000, and embraces the
following sewer work: .
Further extensions of Saddle Creek
ewer, Harney to Leavenworth streets
and from Leavenworth street to Popple
ton avenuo, one section being a ten-foot
sower and the other twelve-foot; con
nection of Dundee aewer at Fifty-first
street; continuation of Miller park sewer
through Mlnno Lusa addition to city
limits at Twenty-seventh and Reed
streets, a distance of about six blocks;
Thirty-sixth and Lake streets, a connect
ing link or three blocks; Thirty-seventh
and Bedford avenue to east side of the
Deaf Institute; continuation of Fontenelle
park sewer to proposed new lagoon In
the park; Jonea street, Thirteenth to
Sixteenth streets.

NILES IS BIGHIT IN JAPAN
American Aviator Shows Brown
Men How to Loop Loop and
Fly Upside Down.
FIRST TIME SEEN IN NIPPON
TOKIO, Jan. 17.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Rarely has an
event excited the Japanese people as
did the flight of Charles Nile. the
American aviator, who gave two ex
hibitions before some of the largest
crowds ever witnessed In Japan. The
first day's crowd was estimated at 2."0,-
and the second at 300.030. The house
tops and other points of vantage about
tho Aoyama parade where Mr. Niles
maneouvred in tlie air were black with
reople, and many arrived hours before
the time of flying, In order to get a
good position. Prince Higashl Kunl, who
is deeply Interested in aviation, was pre
sent on both occasions, as were several
of the Junior princes of the imperial
Japanese house.
Mr. Niles did his flying under the aus
pices of the Aero club of Japan, of which
the president ia General Gaiahl Na
gaoka. This was the first time that the people
of Japan have seen aviation feata in
midair and the maneduvrcs of Mr. Niles,
who flew upside down, looped the loop,
and gave - an - exhibition of what in
called "falling leaves," caused wonder.
Tlie great crowd became frantic wtth
cheering, and became so unmanageable,
that it broke loose and rushed to tbe
place where Mr. Niles had landed. It
wag only after some desperate struggling
that the airman's assistants were able
to force their way through and retcue
the machine as well as the airman from
the enthusiastic and somewhat embarr
assing acclamations of the crowd.
Mr. Niles wss presented to Prince Hi
gashl Kunl, who warmly complimented
him upon his exhibition, tho like of
which, he said, he had never seen. Seve
ral floral pieces were also presented
to the aviator. , Japanese officers headed
by General Nagaoka gave a dinner t)
Mr. Niles, at which General Nagaoka
referred to him as tho "Commodore
Perry of the air." The officer said:
"You have come to us at a time when
the state of aviation In Japan is quits
similar to the. state of civilization when
Commodore Perry came. We confidently
expect that the progress of aviation
In this empire will be enhanced greatly
by your flights and hence we can ap
propriately give you the title of the
'Commodore. Perry of the Air'."
The visit of Niles has served to arouse
greater interest in flying in Japan and
has spurred the Japanese aviation corps
to greater activities. A national aero
society, which will be devoted to th
cause of aviation was organized through
the efforts of Lieutenant General Nag
aoka. A monthly magazine will bo pub
lished with the object ot Increasing
popular Interest In aviation, and at the
same time a campaign will be started
to secure contributions by which the
oeiety expect to organize a voluntary
air service squadron.

Texas Widow Says
"Dry" Platform of
Matrimony is Best
Tlie young widow in Houston, Tex., who
wrote to Postmaster Wharton asking that
he provide a husband to rule her lonely
heart has written thanking him for his
efforts on her behalf.
It will, be remembered that the post
master received about twenty-five an
swers from willing Barklnos whose manly
hearts longed to throb In response to the
heart of some gentlo creature.
He forwarded these to the widow with
a fatherly letter, telling her which of
the letters sounded moet promising to
him.
In her answer she thanks him and re
Iterates her "dry" platform of matri
mony. "I sure don't want a Texas drunk
ard to drink up my home," she says.
From which the postmaster concludea
that she doesn't want a drunkard from
sny other state, territory or dependency
"to drink up her home."
lie deduces further that she has a
home, for, says he, tf she had no homo
''to drink up" It couldn't ba drunk up.
The widow concludes, "I will write
again and let you know my luck."
