The formality of knocking before entering didn't bother this airplane that
recently paid a visit to the bedroom of a householder In Twlck-nhain, Kngland.
Hut then it must be remembered that the visit was as much of u surprise to
the airplane as to the householder. Something went wrong and tee machine,
getting out of the control of tho pilot, crashed Into the roof of tills house.
Fortunately neither the pilot nor the sleeper was Injured.

SALOON FOISTED ON POOR MAN.
All of a poor man's wealth Is Invest
ed In his children, says Mr. John F.
Cunneen, labor leader and worklugman
of Chicago. The poor man sacrifice
his whole life to raise his children
ami hopes when they grow up they
will be a help to him In his old age.
If the rich mail's children go to th
had the rich man still has money to
support hltn, but when the poor man's
children go to the bad all his wealth
is lost and he is left In his old age to
n life of misery. The saloon Is an In
stitution that robs the poor man of bis
children, and he ou'ht to be against
It even mojli than the rich man.
The rich men will not live whero
there are saloons. They will hav
their laud deeds fixed up so that no sa
loons can be established, or they will
have laws made to liar out saloons.
Some Christian people ease their con
sciences by having laws made to keep
the saloons away from the church
doors; but when you drive the saloons
away from the rich man's home and
the doors of the church, you drive
them to the hollies of the poor people
the leust nble to withstand their rav
ages. The poor man cannot drive the
saloon away from his door with money,
like the rich man, for he has not the
money; he has a vote, and with that
vote he can, and should, drive the aa
loon away from his door.
INSURANCE MEN DRY.
Speaking editorially of the waste In
human life due to drink, the Insurance
Magazine says:
"One of the brightest hopes that this
country had In Its entrance Into war
was the hope of the abolition of the
manufacture and use of booze.
"It Is permissible to disagree with
the president that beer and wine are
In any way more necessary than whis
ky. Every one of them Is a first aid
to German bullets, an enemy to food
conservation and a deliberately unjust
tax upon the entire country In time
of war.
"At some national or perhaps inter
national conference all the chiefs of
the Insurance world will, put a co-operative
ban on Intoxicants.
"It Is the man who drinks who Is
more largely responsible for the pres
ent mortality tables than any other
factor.
"It Is the man who drinks who la
forced to pay a greater sum for his
Insurance than otherwise would be tho
case. . . .
"If the man who drinks Is still ac
ceptable as a risk nt a certain price,
then the man whose system Is free
from the braln-numblng poison Is en
titled to u lower rate."
SCREEN ACTRESS TALKS.
Those who enjoy good, wholesome
motion picture plays will welcome the
action of Miss lllanchc Hates In de
clining to appear in any production In
which drunkenness Is depleted. "There
are many reasons," she says, "why all
the plays In which I've nppeared have
been on the water wagon, nnd one of
them is that I fou'd not participate
In n drunken orgy any more on the
stage than off. My managers would
often say to me, 'Ilut it gets the
laughs, and that's what we want.' And
I would answer: 'Drunkenness Is one
of the most pitiful and unpleasant
conditions that any man or woman can
descend to, and If the American the
ater audiences laugh ut the antics of
an Intoxicated person, I firmly believe
that the American sense of humor
ought to he censored."
IMPORTANT.AS OLYMPIAN GAMES'
OR BALL CONTESTS.
"Supposing our soldiers were pre
paring themselves to uphold the honor
of their country In the Olympian
games," said the Times. "Their friends
would help them and would he filled
with horror If they saw one golu?
wrong. To encountge him to drink
would be held an act of treachery de
liberately Intended to Injure hi in and
the national cause. What are tho
Olympian games, or any other contests
whatever, compared with this? They,
are play, make-believe. This Is the
real thing, the true test of manhood.
Is our manhood, then, to be a shame
or an honor to us?"
START WITH BEER.
"No youth or young woman begins
the alcoholic drug habit with what yoa
term The condensed and highly con
centrated nlcohojlc drinks, like whis
ky," says Mr. Samuel Wilson, writing
to William Ilandolph Hearst In the
American Issue. "In my law enforce
ment work I have visited hundreds of.
saloons, cabnret restaurants nnd dance1
halls. Invariably the drink of the
young men and young women Is beer
or wine."
BEER STROKE.
"One of the principal factors In pro
ducing heat prostration is the drinking1
of beer," says Pr. W. A. Evans In the
"How to' Keep Well" department of
the Chicago Tribune. "It has been
proposed," ho continues, that the termj
'heat stroke' be changed to 'beer
stroke.' . . . The use of beer Is
more hnrniful than the use of whisky
because most people have sense
enough to keep away from distilled
liquors in hot weather, but somehow
they have gotten the idea that beer la
cooling."
CHIEF FACTORS.
Food, money and men are tho chief
factors In war as thoy are In pence.
Prohibition provides the food by con
verting the staff of life Into bread In
stead of Into bctf; prohibition pro
vides the money to buy the bread ; and
prohibition will put $2,500,000,000 into
the pockets of the people to flnonce
the war. Clinton N. Howard.
GOOD IDEA. .
We need all the alcohol we enn make
for munitions. "Shoot the booze at the
kaiser," says Collier'.
