Rather Than to Spectators.

Doncaster, Eng. Oct. 26.-At the avia-
ton meeting yesterday M. LIE Blon fell 20
feet, but was not hurt. His machine

around and drove 1t toward the specta-
tors. LIE Blon had only an instant to
choose between rising almost vertically
at great risk to himself or of crashing
into the onlookers without harm to him

There was barely room between the
machine and the crowd for the aeroplane
to rise, but LIE Blon's prompt manipula-
ton of the gear just enabled it to do so
and it cleared the heads of the specta-
tors. whisklng off the hats of men in
The front row.
LIE Bion was thrown back horizontally
in his seat as the machine shot fifty feet
upward. The aeroplane was then struck
by squall. LIE Blon managed to control
il during part of its descent. but when
20 feet from the ground it fell. The
crowd eheered the aviator.

Paris, Oct. 26.-French banking circles
here consider it unlikely that the Bank
of France will be called upon to come
to the relief OF the international money

The Bank of England's action in rails

have not been making money recently
and the Bank of England is helping
them out.
The Bank of France now holds the
largest stock of gold in its history and

DELIVERY WAGON.
One in Use by McCord KistIer, Body
Made by Rehkopf Bros.

The latest equipment for the
prompt delivery of merchandise has
been introduced to Topeka business
men by the McCord- Kistler Mercan-
tile company, when they ran mas

mobile out of the Rehkopf Bros, shop
at 207209 West Sixth avenue. backed
it up to the warehouse at POI and 203
Kansas avenue and whisked $4,000
pounds of sugar to an uptown mer-
chant.
The new car is a Frayer-MilIer
make with a capacity of five tons. It
will take the place of three teams,
and wagons.
The new equipment will enable the
McCord-Kistler people to make de-
liveries much quicker than the old
method.
The engine and steel frame for the
car was purchased of the Prayer
Miller Co., of Springfield, o. The
body was manufactured and set up
by the Rehkopf Bros. who make au-
tomobile top building and upholster-
ing specially. The wagon body is
of the heavy truck design and is
twelve feet long and sixty-six inches
wide.
The body of the car is a finished
piece of work and a credit to the
makers.
When the new vehicle made it's in
itial trip on Kansas avenue yesterday
and backed up to the grocery store
with its load. the crowd of curious
people flocked about the new ma
chine like flies around a sugar bowl.
1t was the bowl in this case. not the
sugar that attracted the attention.

on the cleverness and business tact
of the McCord-Kistler Mercantile Co.,

gressive methods in handling their
business and giving prompt service to

Guild.
Men and women must go bare
headed if they would prevent univer-
sal alopecia. Men are to blame for
the badness which now is becoming
apparent in women. The disease is
hereditary. Fathers are bald and their
sons early display similar tendencies.
Where one or two successive genera
lions have little hair heads it can
almost be taken for granted that the
next generation will be prematurely
