High Wind at Fort Mver.

With the wind blowing at the rate
of fifty miles an hour at Fort Myer
the Wright brothers waited patiently
today for a chance TO make what they
expect to be a successful flight
At noon il was stated that nothing
could be done If the wind did not go
down The machine was in perfect
order, but the Wright brothers went
over 10 carefully in order that moth
ing might be overlooked for sue
Cessful flight
After Latham had donned dry cloth
Ing and eaten a hearty breakfast, he
told his story OF the flight
The failure OF the airsnip TO sue
cesSIully negotiate the entire distance

Descent PerilOus.
The descent of the airship into the
channel was perilous. owing TO the
failure of my device designed TO pre-
venl the airship striking the water too
suddenly. ] managed to right the ship
after she struck, however, although she
had dove Slmost headlong into the
waves. 1 wore a life belt, but there
WIS no necessity for il, AS the airShip
floated until the Harpon appeared.
4 believe that my flight today proves
the feasibility Of taking my mOnopiane
across the channel, and I am making
arrangements to try again within a
week
Count Lambert. who Is to try the
channel flight with his Wright ma
chine, complimented Latham on his
flight. Count Lambert says he viii
make his flight as soon as weather con
ditiOns are favorable.
Immediately upon returning TO Calais
Latham wired 10 the builder Of his
mOnOplane. ordering new machine OF
exactly similar make, in which he will
make another attempt TO fly across tie

Crowds Greet Latham.
Vast crowds gathered here to welcome
Latham as he stepped ashore from the
launch OF the Harpon, and scores Of
women surrounded the rescued aeronaut,
throwing their arms about his neck and
kissing him. Latham was greatly en-
barrassed by the reception accorded
him, and he finally was rescued from
the osculatory demonstrations Of the
women by several OF his friends.
The officers OF the Harpon relate that
when they sighted the fallen aeTOplane,
Latham was clinging TO the upper
framework quietly smoking a cigarette,
as he awaited his rescuers. The fall
was due to the slowing down of the
monoplane motor, which failed 10 fur

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

| A good cleanser for hardwood is te wash it with a clean flannel wet ir | turpentine and rub lightly afterwart with boiled linseed oil. Bric-a-brac should be carefully dust ed before being washed in hot boraz water or soap suds in which little ammonia has been dissolved. If one has baked beans left and does ] not. wish to use them warmed over try making into salad or soup They are excellent either way. Tiny greasy streakS on glassware after it is washed are due to the fact that the soap or washing powder useo has not been thoroughly dissolved.
 The soft, velvet cushion, such as is used to keep mans silk hat in con- dition, is equally satisfactory for z woman's hat whether velvet or felt.
 Peaches and cream is a. traditiona favorite, but not many know that a dish fully as good is ripe pears and cream. The pears should be very cold.
 When a valuable piece of music be- gins wearing out along the edges. first press the sheet with a warm iron and then bind the edges with passepart- out.
 Do not wash colored fabrics in the same water with white ones. This especially holds good if one happens to have table linen with colored bor- ders.
 Bric-a-b brae containing mother-o Of pearl should never be cleaned with soap and water. Instead, it should be rubbed with a cloth dipped into whiting and water
 Paint the inside woodwork of bed- steads with corrosive sublimate and turpentine, five cents worth of the former to a pint of the latter. It will destroy all vermin.
 To make egg gruel beat one egg in a bowl add salt, a little parsley, a teacup of boiling water. Cut into small pieces a slice of toasted bread and pour gruel over it.
 To run roads through the sash cur tains, put a thimble on the end of the rod, or the finger of an old glove, and the rod will slip through without tear ing the fabric.
 Little white spots on the nails are generally caused by the use of a hard instrument in pushing the cuticle back from the nail. An orangewood stick should be used instead.
 A sweet for winter use is mar nnalade made of equal parts of quince and apple. The combination is de- cidedly tasty and not to rich a com pote as when quince alone is used.
 To steam old velvet for a new hat, invert a baking dish over a gas stove burner, put a wet cloth on the bottom of the dish, lay the velvet over that, and brush the nap gently the right way.
 In purchasing broadc1oth, it is well to make sure whether the material has been sponged and shrunk. If not, the wise woman will have this done before it is made into a gown.
 To clean gilt. try touching it. up a little at a time with a camers hair brush dipped in alcohol Do not let it dry. but rub off with a flannel which should be changed frequently.

It has, for years, dominated the party with degree of absolutism paralleled Tn but few cities. So autocratic has been its rule. and so immutable and severe it's sentences of dissenters, that the rank and file of the party have nearly lost the power of initiative and have ceased to even recall the lan- guage and meaning of the freemans oath. Alderman Meyer admits that 'it is practically impossible" to de- feat the machine. We are inclined to believe tEat his view is too pessimistic. There was never 6 wrong under popu- lar government which could not be lighted, once the people realized it's existence; this is as true now as it has been in the past. The Morris and Arnold movements have initiated an educational movement and have made considerable progress, and if we do not misinterpret the signs, the time is near when the machine blanket will no longer be able to smother the judg- ment of the rank and file and the characterization of t'automata" will cease to be rightly applicable to them

are intended to give the entire enter prise greater stability and uniformi- ty throughout the country and to save the selling agencies from all possible risk of loss Or unnecessary expense. Where plenty of volunteer service is available, an agent for the stamps may almost or wholly avoid any local expense whatever.
 Iii 1908 the Red Cross sold the Christ mas stamps outright to agents, and the agents provided their own adver- Using matter. This year the Red Cross provides stamps and advertising matter free but requires a return at the end of the season of one-third of the receipts. From this one-third the Red Cross will pay the expenses of printing stamps and advertising matter, express charges, postage, cler- ical assistance, etc. It is estimated that after paying all necessary ex- penses the Red Cross will have a net profit of about fifteen Der cent, of the total sales of stamps and that the agents which sell the stamps will re- alize a net profit on total sales of from sixty to sixty-f1ve per cent. The fifteen per cent realized by the Red Cross will be applied to the most ur- gent needs of it's work whatever they may be. It has seemed to the officers of the organization that it is but sim pie justice that the great work of the Red Cross should share in some small measure in the proceeds of the sales of Christmas stamps.
 To support and supplement the work of the recognized anti-tuberculosis or ganizations is the policy of the Red Cross in the disposition of the pro- eeeds from the stamp sales. It is point on which the Red Cross con stantly insists, that the proceeds from stamp sales shall be used to strength en well organized tuberculosis socie- ties wherever possible and that where this is not possible, the proceeds shall be used to maintain anti-tuberculosis work of character which has the ap- proval of the leading authorities upon the cure and prevention of tubercu- lOSiS.
 The utmost elasticity characterizes the use of the stamp funds. In one community they may go to the state anti-tuberculosis association, which is carrying on purely an educational cam paign; in another community they may go to the support of a day camp, in another to the employment of visit ing nurses, while in another, they may be divided among several local organi- zations carrying on different con- crete forms of anti-tuberculosis work.

Highway Commissioner Mcdonald is receiving rather more censure than commendation of late. Progress in the construction of new, and the re- pair of old, roads is much less rapid than is deemed desirable and possible The Hartford Times says:
 There is a growing disposition to ask of the highway commissioner more good road building and less prediction of what is going to be done some time when he has got ready to get at the work. It is remembered that he has been commissioner a good many years TOW, that in spite of all his complaints of insufficient money for certain pur- poses he has said within a year or thereabouts that no law relating to his work has been passed without his en- dorsement and that he has shaped a good many of them himself. It would seem that extraordinary patience has been shown by the public, and that this Is due to recognition of his enthu- siasm for good roads, and the personal impression he makes on those with whom he talks. Yet, with all that he may lack administrative force, and it Is coming to be believed that that is the trouble.
 The Hartford Courant attributes the unsatisfactory progress to the work of the commissioner being too much for one man. Whether the cause be as stated by the Times, lack of admins trative force, or as given by the Cour- ant, an overload it is certain that the progress made.

sI WILL STAND ON MY RECORD"
 MAYOR LEE


 Republican Town and City convention aside from the prolonged secret session nnishanaed a caucus and the proceed dngs of which were first called informal and then made formal as a means of squelching the Anti-Lee delegates were the arbitrary ruling-out of the
 Meyer resolution by Chairman Steven son of the Platform committee as un- parliamentary, and Mayor Lees speech of acceptance. Each of these features should receive careful consideration by the voters.
 Mr Meyers resolution which was ruled out by MT. probably under orders from the machine, for he is not so deficient in knowledge of parliamentary rules as his action would indicate-declared, in part that the harbor should be protected from private aggression and preserved for the use of commerce forever. Of course, convention which was cut and dried, could not adopt, and the machine feared to allow it to consider, a resolution which could only be inter preted as sharp censure of the Mayors S record upon this identical question and
 
 form and matter, could only be thrown out by just such an arbitrary ruling as was made. It is quite safe to pre- dict that Stevenson will not assent to Meyers request for the basis of his ruling.
 The second salient feature of the pro ceedings was Mayor Lees speech of acceptance, in the course of which he stated that he would stand on his record, would speak in every district and would talk about, among other matfeEs, the new car barns and the harbor lines and had "no apologies to make'' We must give him credit for being more courageous than was the convention. The latter barred out. through Stevenson, consideration of these two subjects, and its platform gave them no direct mention and but the slightest of indirect reference. What was too .'hot stuff' for the con- vention to handle even with commit tee tongs, the Mayor boldly-perhaps foolhardily- y-grappled with bare hands.
 The Mayors speech confirms the Posts pre-convention statement that the party will rise or fall on the merits of the Lee administration-'I will,'' he says, stand on my record' and "I Fave no apologies to make But he did not confirm the Standards pre- convention statement that there is <1more to do along the same 1ine'; that was altogether too hot a matter flor even his seared-over. hands to grasp. Still, he promises "to explain these conditions during the campaign" and perhaps he will then inform his hearers as to what "more'' is desired by, and to be given to, the railroad and trolley companies. But after today, there will be only seven days for cam paigning, and we greatly fear that he will not have sufficient time to both defend his record, and to give the de- tails of that 'more along the same line" Failure to adequately defend, and to explicitly define that ominous word more, might be ranked as a public misfortune; the voters anxiously await the promised information-as al- so does the Farmer.
