Regarded As One of the Most Re.

His Record.
AVERAGE ALTITUDE, 100 FEET

ETAMPES, France. July 13-M Beriot,
one of the French aeroplanists who is
planning to fly across the English chan
mel, left here this morning in his aero
plane on a cross country fight In an
attempt to reach Orleans and win the
French Aero Club price of $500. The
distance is twenty-five miles in a straight
line. little more than the distance
across the channel.
ORLEANS. France, July 13.-M. Berliot
made a successful landing at Chevilly to-
day, having covered the twenty-five
miles from Etaempes in So minutes lC
seconds elapsed time
This includes stop of eleven minutes
near Toury to examine his aeroplane.
The aviator Came down at the feet of the
official timers. His descent was rather
pid and the propeller Of his machine
sustained slight damage in the maneuvers.
His average altitude for the trip was 100
feet AS the time limit of the fight from
Etampes was six hours, and as there was
x, VI.
Bleriot wins the prize offered by the
French Aero Club
Bleriot is regarded as one of the most
remarkable men among French aviators.
He has met with more accidents than any
other flying machine operator, most of
them having been spills in the earlier
days of his flights. any of which might
have been fatal He has been a mono
pianist from the start and has reduced
the size of his supporting planes as rapid
ly as the advance in engine construction
permitted.
He has recently been flying with a ma
chine known as the Antoinette VIII.
which has been said to be very fast and
is the smallest aeroplane in use, with the
exception of Santos Dumont's Demoselle
which so far has made only very short
flights.
Considerable Trouble at First.
Bleriot had considerable trouble at first
in keeping his machine right side up and
in most of his early flights 1t turned tur-
tie with him, though he always escaped
serious injury. He has since used wing
tips and with them has made several
cross-country flights that have been quite
noteworthy.
The record for endurance in a mono
plane flight was recently wrested from
him by Herbert Latham in a fight of
1 hour and Z minutes, but Bleriot has
always been more anxious about speed
than endurance and the present flight
constitutes the twenty-fve-mile record.

better
When you promise to do something

Mother is the best friend you have in

her little girl or boy, and always try

DOG DEFENDS HIS MISTRESS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
4 WILL tell you how big shepherd
dog of ours once was friend of
Il mine. When 1 was only years old
mamma went to Los Angeles, and
promised that Chief, our old dog, and
1 could meet her at Downey. She was
coming on the 5:45 train. L got to
Downey after the train had gone.
Mamma was not at the station, so L
went down to the stores to look for her.
| could not find her, and was afraid to
go home without her, so 1 waited out
in front of Mr.. Manning's store until
almost dark Then I thought maybe
mamma had started on and had
missed her, so 1 started home.
had to cross the new river bridge
that crosses the new San Gabriel river
on the Norwalk and Downey road. No
white people live near, and sometimes
tramps and gipsies camp under the
trees. Just as l got across the bridge
| saw a man come out from among the
trees.
1 tried to hurry past, but the man
stepped in front of me. Chief was
little way ahead, and I called him.
When the man saw Chief coming he
began to back off. and Chief started
straight for him. I guess he knew the
man had no business to stop me.
hit the pony and called Chief 1t
didn't take me long to get home, and
my sisters were awfully frightened un-
til mamma and papa came.
Mamma had missed the train and
taken the car to Gage Crossing, near
where papa was hauling hay, and he
brought her home. We found out af-
terward that there were a lot of gipsies
camped by the bridge.
We live two and a half miles from
Downey and cross the bridge going and
coming from school.
