Interest in aeronautics has been
Intensified since the government began
to take an interest. The recent tests

followed with keen interest all over
the ballooning world. In addition to
this he has built for the government
two spherical balloons.

Baldwin never wavered for a moment

of people gathered at Golden Gate

Washington.-Capt. Thomas Scott
Baldwin. dean of aeronautics in this
country, has devoted his life to the
problem of aerial navigation. Capt.
Baldwin's name is inseparably linked
with aeronautic activities the world
over. In nearly every civilized country
OF the world Capt. Baldwin has given
exhibitions with his parachutes. bal.
looms and airships. With constantly
applied persistency to make a success
of ballooning. Capt. Baldwin has not
relinquished his interest for a single
day for 80 years. During this long ex-
perience. he has made and given more
than 5000 exhibitions and flights in
the air. Unlike those who have made
failures of their airship experiences.
Capt. Baldwin Is essentially a student.
His workshop does not present the ap-
pearance of a collection of ideas, plain
ly marked theories. He has always
worked along the practical and scien-
tific lines. To these he owes his sue
cess. although kind fate appears al
ways to have smiled upon him. He
has taken chances in making his ex-
periments in the air that would still

The value Of this famous food Is
