THE ENTERPRISE. WILLIAMSTONf N. C. Airship records seem very fragile. What elae can a person do but hob ble in a bobble skirt A race of queeleas. Chinamen la a possibility in the near future. Dont anybody say a word about the weather. Might break the spell. Aviating continues to be dangerous enough to make it very Interesting. Looks as though this fall was going to be one grand aeroplane-automobile feast The woman who took an oath and swooned apparently realized Its re sponsibility. Fall football practise begins with a fresh supply of collar bones all ready to be broken. You are not compelled to weep when you read of an accident to the wearer of a hobble skirt. Esperanto has no CURS words. It's oecesßary to explain, this because It Bounds BO pecilllar. The fact that the champagne vint age Is a failure will not affect the business of the rathskeller. Science has received a remarkable Impetus. An African professor has learned to talk the ape language. News that the aV'alfa crop Is doing well may or may not please the man who euta prepared breakfast foods. Aviators are flying high, but the morning stars will continue to sing together without fear of interruption. The headline suggestion that "A ro mance ends at altnr" Is hardly com plimentary, although many of them do. A baby has been born on Fifth avenue, New York. The very latest fashion in babies is understood to be pink. If It takes SO,OOO to make a good dresser, many a would-be fashion plate may asNvell throw up his hands In (Allure. We suspect that'the pantaloon trußt 1b behind that movement urging young men to get on their knees when pro posing. Somebody has found bow to convert copper Into Iron. This may help to re duce the Immense piles of copper that are scattered around. Another sad blow to the English.

The crown prince of Germany has been made a rector magniflcentissl mus. he doesn't break under that weight he's the prince of burden bear era.

Britain's most powerful battleship, -the—©rtnn. — wtitf-h lias "Just been launched, can do everything except fly, but It may be foiled by sonn frail craft that cannot do anything else. Minneapolis has authorized Its park policemen to spank mashers. The fact that they are also empowered to first club them Into a receptive mood makes this innovation all the more pleasing. Probably you have noticed the sin gular habit a brass band has of finish ing its selection and stopping its flaying at the exact rnnmtyit when you become interested and begin to listen. A coujde were followed by a crowd In the streets of New York and were received in state at the city hall by the iyting mayor, their claim to this distinction and popular curiosity be ing that they had walked from Kansas City. But in these days'* of niotor boatlng, automoblling, aviation and general trolley-riding the man or woman who walks from choice is a curiosity. Diplomats in Washington being Im mune from nrrest, the capital is now torn up over a question whether tho local authorities can compel a foreign attache to muzzle his dog. Fancy an International complication arising from the fact that a lowly poundmaster laid unholy bands on a poodle, not be cause of any brutality to the animal, but because the mutt belonged to the third assistant secretary attached to the legation of the Kazoo of Kazazza. A man bathing on Long Island stepped on a S2OO diamond pin, lost by a Brooklyn woman who had been bathing. Pearl divers may yet be suc ceeded by diamond divers. But it is not everybody_JKJlO uses safety pins that are so expensive. A couple who wnre arrested 111 Evanston, 111., for violating the speed laws told the justice they were •loping, and the mean man put them to the test by marrying them right then and there. Not many joyriders would dare to go aa far &s that. • \ •. * 1 — NEWSPAPER PIM IS WRECKED BY DYNAMITE Establishment of Los Angeles Times Destroyed By Explosion. TWENTY EMPLOYEES ARE KILLED Manager of Paper Asserts That Labor Onions Are Responsible for Disaster, But the Unions Enter Denial. Los Angeles, Cal.—The building oc cupied by the lvos Angeles Times was destroyed by fire, which was precipi tated by an explosion. Nineteen men, employees of the newspaper, are miss ing, and are believed to have perished in the fiaines. Three hundred men digging unceas ingly for thirty hours lu the debris have unearthed five of the nineteen bodies buried in the ruins. The shov el brigade is , aided by a huge rail way crane and derrick whicu is lift ing out the remains of" heavy steel. Later, an attempt to destroy the residence of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, publisher of The Times, by means of an infernal machine, was made. Fol lowing as it did the explosion which with great loss of life destroyed the buildings and plant of The Times, a suspected effort to blow up the auxil iary plant of the paper and the find ing of a powerful Infernal machine in the residence of Secretary Zeehand laar of the Merchants and Manufac turers' Association, the attempted outrage has wrought this city to an intense state of suspense and excite ment. General Otis and the other respon sible heads of the paper unequlvoca bly charge The Times building disas ter and the narrowly averted attempts at further destruction of life and prop erty to labor unions. With equal emphasis the leaders of union labor here and throughout the United States repudiate tiie accusa tion, and locally they have offered all a'd in their power In the effort to de tect the culprits. A quarrel with the Typographical Union twenty years ago resulted in making The Times a non-union- paper. General Otis lias fought unionism with every resource at bis command. He has been ably seconded in tills fight by the-Merchants-and Manufacturers' Association, whose secretary was the Under stimulus of proffered re wards aggregating J 100,000, hundreds ol' policemen and private citizens here and in all coast, cities are searching for clews that may lead to the arrest of the (Conspirators responsible for the explosion. One newspaper that has been very friendly to union labor printed* a first page editorial demanding that in view of the strictures directed at the tin ions in connection with t.ie explosion, the strikes now on be called off. The succession of tragic events and the rumors of attempted outrages set thi' populace of Los Angeles in a state of mind bordering on panic. Hundreds of policemen and., detectives were busy in every -direction running down clues and endeavoring to locate the alleged perpetrators of the crimes. Hut two arrests have been made and these were only on suspicion —_ 1 The original suspicion that the dis aster was due to the discharge of high explosives was practically confirmed by the finding of other bombs and the statements of those persons In the building or nearby at the time of the the explosion. The president of the local typo graphical union has Issued orders that union printers may work in conjunc tion with non-union printers of The Times in any of the focal newspaper offices in getting out the edition of The Times. This was announced af ter a consultation of the union men and the managers of the other news papers. Indianapolis, lnd. —President James M. Lynch of the International Typo graphical Union issued a statement relative to the explosion that wreck ed the plant of the Los Angeles Times, lie states that tiie union is In no way responsible for the catas trophe. LaFollette Is 111. Rochester, Minn.—United States Genator Robert M.

Washington. Census figures for, Rome, Ga., made public by the bureau Sive that city 12,099 as compared with T,291 iu iaoo. Tax Traffic All It Will Bear. Chicago.—The contention that the railroad among competing lines which lias the largest investment, is the one 011 which rates should be based, was advanced here before the interstate commerce commission in the plea for higher rates by western roads. The opinion was expressed by Q. C. May of New York, a public account ant. Mr. May also asserted the amount the shipper would bear rather than lose the service was bis limita tion of what a carrier should charge tha shiDDer. PROTECTION FOR GIRLS. Catholic Congreu Discount Vfelt* Slave Tral- 11c li all Its Pluses. Washingon.—The first national con ference of Catholic charities discuss ed charity work ill all its varied phases. The condltiohs of Catholic charities throughout the country were liscussed, and the "protection of young girls in our large cities" and the state and charity" were consid ered in two sections of the confer ence, which met simultaneonusly. Rev. P. Mueller-Simons of Strass jurg made a report on the Interna tional Association for the Protection of Young Girls, and set forth the dangers which confront the girl who leaves home in search of a means of livelihood. The so-called White slave traffic, he declared, was the greatest danger in the path of the girl. The number of these traffickers, men and women, he added, is an Immense one. To wage war against these evils, he advocated the creation of special central offices of the association fori the protection of girls, located in the most important city of each diocese, and co-operating with Catholic societies and homes for the protection of girls all over the world. Another phase of the question which Father Simons urged upon his hearers was the protection of girls in their respective native cities. This local protection, he added, was being un dertaken in this country by the many Catholic institutions and socie ties organized for the purpose. Tilt; conference received reports from a number of city committees on the question of protection of girls. Many causes were assigned for the downfall of girls, including cheap dance halls connected with saloons, cheap lodging houses and low wages. The general conclusion of the reports was that the problem was one of great magnitude and complexity and thr.t probably the best method to meet it now is to organize local city commit tees, in which all charity organiza tions will be represented and keep in touch with the national conference. Itev. Monsignor White of Brooklyn presided over the section of the con ference Wiiich considered the "pro tection of young girls in our large cities." WANT SOCIAL PURITY. Charles W. Eliot Speak* of the Ne cessity for Wider Knowledge. Chicago.—Lessons up purity and the social evil should be taught in the public schools, according to let ters from Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., which were read at a conference held here by members of the Illinois Vigilance com mission, thi' Midnight "f ('hi- (•ago and the American Purity Feder ation. In his letter l)r. Eliot said: "In my opinion, the social evil and the diseases incident thereto ought to be publicly discussed so that the feasible remedies may be decided up on and applied. 1 am entirely con vinced that the policy of silence upon these subjects has failed disastrously. Another subject which ought to be publicly discussed among teachers and parents is the addition to our school programs of Instructions in normal reproduction in plants and animals, sexual hygiene in the hu man species and the uorrors of sexual vice." Fake Hero Arrested.

Smootkiess •! Convention Proceedings Skews Democratic Harmony. Rochester, N. Y.—A state conven ventlon that will go down in political history as one of the most remarka ble, in the history of the Democratic party closed by nominating John A.

A lady doctor : "Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of my enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not a poison like coffee. "I began to use Postum eight years ago, not because I wanted to, but be cause coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and unfitting me (or busi ness during the day. "On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as directed on the package. As I had always uset 'cream and no sugar,' I mixed my Postum so.

I was pleased, yes, satisfied, with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years.
