Hie Coosta, a Captain In Canadian Flytnc Corps, Escapee In light WlLh Four German Planes. Describing the attack ef the Canadians at Vlmy Ridge as the "big show," and alludlns- to the aernnl.ne In which one had a thrilling fight with four Oerman machines as a "bus," two young Canadian effleera. the nephews of Mrs. Margaret Jseksnn ef Aehevllle. tell In a thrllllna- manner and that she la only now beginning to rise to the situation. Answers should be written on one side of the sheet only, and signed with the sender' true name, address, telephone number and toe name of the church he some eembly In the superabundance of Its I times attends, wisdom enacted the following law. j Howerer, . this new law pi a rr confirmation of the aad tidings all those Interested are referred to Bee tlon two, chapter 188 of the Publlo Law of HIT. It reads: "Any man and woman registering or otherwise representing themeelvee to Te husband and wife In any hotel, publlo Inn or boarding house, ehall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished In the discretion of the court. Dreadful Possibilities. The dreadful possibilities here re vealed ss a strlot enforcement of the statute are really too horrible for con templation. Often times when a busi ness man announces that he has been called out ef town on a matter of Im portance hie wife, naturally of a trusting nature, eaya that she thinks she will go along too and see what the shops have to offer. The business man twists his face Into a em lie, or what passes for a smile, and says how nice that will be. So the milkman Is told not to bring any milk for a few days and the cat Is placed outdoors, and the happy ootrple almost but not quite miss the train and everything Is lovely on their return they find four Vnllk bottles on the back porch for the four days they have been ab sent, while the cat spits at them from the front porch. The "Business man and his wife come to Ashevllle, say, and the theoretical head of the Arm proceeds to register In a bold and flowing hand: "Mr. and Mrs. .John Blank, Such and Such Place." He says he wants a room with private bnth and the clerk says he's sorry but the very beat he can do Is a room with a con necting bath and if Mr. Blank Is really married to his wife he oan't even have that. This naturally will call for a line of remarks front Mr. Blank that would never pass the International board of censorship- When he paused for an Instant, Mrs. Blank would just as naturally take up the thread of the argument at the precise point it was dropped by her husband. Between them, the ground would be fairly well covered. In a gaanner of epeaklng. Should any details have been omitted their lack will have been supplied be fore the interview le ended. The Hotel Clerk. In the meantime, the hotel clerk. after wiping his fevered brow with a silk handkerchief, will have called police headquarters, or the sheriff, or the house detective, and pointing to the register on the marble counter, will say coldly and distinctly: "This man and woman are regis tered as man and wife. Officer, do your duty!" The hotel orchestra in tne mean time will be playtng something soft and low from the well known opera where everybody, Including the fat tenor, dies In the last act. Other ho tel guests, men and women who did not register as man and wife but as Miss What'sherneme and Mr. fio- andso, will gather around the hapless couple and smiles of pity will be mingled with smiles of open derision as the blue coat places the gleaming handcuffs on the business man ana his wife that married him fifteen long years ago and drags them to the wait' Ing hurry-up wagon outside. Then the lights go out and everything Is lust as sad and sobbyrlike as the most accomplished soD-sister artist on dallv caper could desire. What will be tne tnougnts or inis respectable business man as he rides In the open wagon to police neaa quarters? What will his wife say to him? Will she again remind him that she begged him not to oome to Ashe vllle and that she never wanted to come and that he Insisted' and that he was a fool and a failure anyway 7 What punishment will that devoted man wish down on the heads of the North Carolina law makers who de ni4 Mm.mlit, that tK.

Refuse . any other kind WlUi SOittoaWB, start. toes a serious obstacle In the road of those married people who desire to vtslt neighboring towns. It will be oh served that the lew explicitly says "any man aad woman registering or etherwtee representing themselves to De n us band and wire in any hotel shall be punished in the discretion of the court. Suppose the court is unmarried, how will he Judge the of fenset Will the sentence he In an, cordance with to number of years the culprits have been married? Or will he punish the man and not the woman, or will It be the other way about! If the court la a married man wUl he decide that the husband has already been sufficiently punished and let him go with a warning never to do It again, while at the same time he eentences the wife to two years on the roads, or what will he dot The law plainly says "In the discretion of the court," but his task will be no easy one, at the best. Again, If the business man and his wife decide to saerinoe their respects butty end the conventions and regis ter under their names before they were married, what win be the ob vlous result? suppose the social columns of The Cltlsen should an nounee that Mr. Blank and Miss What'sherneme are spending a few days at Grove Park Inn, or the Lan gren, or the Battery Park, or any oth er hotel here, what do you really sup pose the folks back home would say 7 Would not the churches be depleted of their membership, and would not the various clubs, circles, societies, and organizations have more raw material than they could possibly work up as It should be worked up7 J'ause unce -More. Pause again and think how many married people there are In the world Think how many people you know, yourself. Why, It's really surprising, after all that has been said about people getting married how many there are now In the world, and how many more there s going to be soon with June just around the corner, as you might say.. Sucfl. an abundance of material could .;ver be handled properly by those who - keep watch over other people s affairs, and con' sequently there would be a slighting, a marked decrease in the efficiency of the publlo morals welfare com nilttee. ' Really, there Is but one solution to the problem. The legislature' will herve to eonvene again, not later than next week, and repeal the law. Either that or people must atop getting married. But the law might be amended. If the law makers should not repeal it entirely. They might make it obligatory, say, for people who are really married to carry with them their certificate of that condi tion.' The certificate might be framed neatly and when the husband regis tered he could produce the document at the same time. To guard against accidents, the photographs of the couple should certainly be attached, and a notary publlo should be on hand to take the deposition of the man that ne is giaa ne is marriea. Other simple safeguards will un doubtedly suggest themselves to the members of the legislature when they convene, and without doubt they will devlse some method of protect ing the morals of the state e.nd still allow married couples to visit adjoin ing towns without danger of being cast Into Jail. BETTERMENT SOCIETY PLANS ARE DISCUSSED Meeting of Executive Obmmltee of County Federation is Held at the Court House. , Flans for carrying on the work of the federation of woman's betterment associations of Buncombe county were discussed Saturday morning, at a meeting that was held at tne court house. Miss Allle Rymer, the county home demonstrator, was absent, be ing detained on a trip. It was decided by tnose who at tended the meeting to decentralize the work of the federation. In order to accomplish more, and to make the efforts of the various societies more effective. To that end, the work will be divided Into townships, and a vice president for each township will be appointed. Miss Rvmer stated last mgnt tnai the betterment associations and can- nine clubs are fortunate at netng able to secure an unlimited supply of cans at about one-half the present market nrlce. which. In small quantities, is about five or six cents apiece. The favorable price was secured through Buncombe county dealer, wao naa an option on cans from a manufac turer. Miss Rymer naa secured or ders far about three carloads or cans at the present time and she expects that canning and preserving will be stimulated In the county this sum mer. '. i Mrs. Jackson's nenhav Is Major Roy Hnhertaon. of Walker. ton, Ont., an officer wi the Canadian engineers, third dlvlbVin. Of the Vlmy fight he writes: "The morning of the "show, at a certain hour all .the guns opened tip at once, and the noise was like thunder. I wss In front of them and got up on a hill And looked back, and there y ere flashes from all over as fsr as you could see, north and south. Thsn the a O. S. signals from the enemy line began, to shoot up from the enemy trenches and made a great display. The burstlnsr shells lust made a wall of flame and the Infantry went over at me time arranged, Occasionally you would hear (he clatter o a machine gun out of the noise but most of them had bsen put out of business by the bombardment. The Infantry certainly did magnifi cently and the whole attack woe a line success. Frits appeared sur prised by the apeed of the attack and It wayt't long before ong strings of German prisoners came marching back, some very sulky and some ap parently pleased. They were very well treated and given thlnara to eat Rome of them were giving away their possession, buttons and other things. I saw two parties of four each carrying out German' wounded to our dressing stations, where they were bandaged up and sent back the same as our own wounded. The German offioers felt their dignity much hurt and were making all sorts of silly de mands. There were thousands of German prisoners taken." Captain C. E. Robertson, also of Walkertoq, and a cousin of the young major, le a member of the British flying corps. His account of a battle over the Hlndenburg line at dlxzv height) with four small German ma chines, at the same time dodging the deadly shots of the German anti aircraft guns, beggars fiction and is as thrilling a tale of a fight In the clouds as has ever been related. "There are no anti-aircraft sruns or gunners that can campare with the Huns'," writes Captain Robertson, and they say they can aret a direct hit on any machine at any height In three shots if it does not alter its course. The natural result, of course. Is that we never fly for more than a few seconds without swerving left or right or up or down, and as a gen eral rule we dodge them without much trouble but with three guns It Is different, and I was kept pretty ousy. any ooserver stood up In front and motioned to me as each shell burst so that I would know how to steer. As it was, they knocked holes In our wings, some of them big enougn to put your head .in; Bud denly It all stopped, and then I kenw we were In for some rtsA trouble. I stood up in my seat and looked over the, top plane and. sure enough. climbing up to us as fast as an elevator in a city office building were four of those hateful little beasts, Albatross scouts, the Germans' newest and fastest single-seaters. For the next half hour I was too busy to be scared. Fortunately only the first two Huns attacked us why, I don't know, un less it was that the other two thought that it was too small a job for them all, and they had every right to think so, for the Albatross scout Is prac tically twice as fast as the machine was flying. "My observer, the South African, was as cool as a cucumber, and or king- his two machine guns as though he were shooting at a bulls- eye in a shooting gallery." Captain Robertson's engine was put out of commission after the first few shots and It was only his luck that none of the controls ?ere shot away. The young Canadian airman man aged to descend and says: "The Huns followed us to about 800 feet and then buzzed off. doubtless to re port to their headquarters that an other British machine had been driven down out of control. With a little difficulty I got her on an even keel, flattened out and made a safe land ing within a few feet of the British I third line trencnes. Neither or us were hit, although I got two bullets through my sheepskin thigh boots, and another came through the center of the back of my seat, which would have caught me between the shoulder blades had I not been perched on the Instrument board at the time. The machine and engine were, of course. shot to bits." Did You Ever Take an Auto Trip? It's mighty refreshing to have a cool drink and fresh food. In the sick room a real necessity. In the bachelor's den a handy help. For the light housekeeper a great economy. Neaco Perfect Refrigerators $5.00 Northup-McDuffie HardwaroCo. S3 Pattern Ave. HARDWARE.
