SPIRIT OF MAYOR
ENCOURAGES CLUB
Plan to Hold One Day of Avia-
ton in Monumental
City.

Encouraged by the interest displayed
by Mayor Mahool and the public-spirited
citizens of Baltimore, and greatly heart
ened by letters received from officials OF
the Aero Club Of America. the joint dele
cation Of the Chamber Of Commerce and
the local Aero cluU go to the Monu-
mental City this afternoon to explain TO
Mr.. Mahool and other BaltimOreans the
advantages Of boldiog next years in
ternatonal aviation meet in the Ma
tional Capital.

the facts concerning the meet which
the Baltimoreans desire to hear
At the Camden station in Baltimore
the delegation of citizens Interested in
the proposition will meet the Washing
toaians. The conference will last prob
ably several hours.
Memba,s of the delegation suggested
today that not only a race from this
big meet, but that the Monumental
City will be given at least one day Of
exhibition all its own There are
numerous excellent aviation fields near
Baltimore such as PimlicO race track.
Druid Hill Park, etc, where the avia-
tors could not only land in safety. but
over which they could maneuver with
ease and with no danger.
New Air Features.
Such an exhibition would last all day,
and would include speed flights, fights
showing height, two-men performances
and features now unthougnt of in all
probability. Baltimore would have an
exhibition such as no other city in this
country would see. except the National
Capital. and scores OF thousands Of
Marylanders and others would flock
there.
DR. Albert F. Zahm said mis- morning
that both A. Holland Forbes. acting
president of the Aero Club of America
and AUGUSTUS Post. secretary OF that
rganiZatiOn, have answered the formal
communication from the JOINT commit
tee OF this city. asking that Washing
ton be given the meet. Both Mr. Forbes
and Mr.. Post seemed TO be Of tine opin-
ion that the Capital would furnish an
almost ideal place for the meet Sew

Monument a Help.
That the Washington Monument
would prove an important factor in the
International aero meetNin case 1t should
be held here is the belief OF many of
those interested in aeronauties.
Potomac Park is the. proposed site of
the meet, should this city be selected,
and the Monument being in such close
proximity with the speedway course it
Is only natural that the marble shaft
that stands 80 feet in the air should
he the instrument Of gauging the
height Of the flights of all OF the air
ships that would be assembled in the
contests. The record altitude reached
so far by a heavier-than-air machine is
held by Latham. Five hundred and sew
en- feet was the height he attained at
Rheims, France. at the international
aero meet held there recently. That
stands as a world record today.
Those in a position to know say that
Crcling the top Of the Monument
would be one OF the first experiments
tried by the aerOnauts should the meet
come here The Monument would also
be used as a starting point for all races
should any long distance flights be at

the aviators would use the shaft for the
point from which 10 start. also the
point TO reach upon the return from a
flight OF any distance.
The fact that exact time could be
made Of all flights using the Monument
for a starting point. as II were, IS
thought by many would be of great
assistance in helping 10 bring the avia-
tors meeting TO Washington next year.

COLORADO BARS DISEASE.

Governor Shafrot1 of Colorado has
issued a proclamation prohibiting the
importation into the state TO bulls for
breeding purposes or any dairy cattle
until they have been found free from
tuberculosis. The state board of agri-
culture is now engaged in barring from
the state shipments from neighboring
states not accompanied by a clean bill
Of health. The law in Colorado is rigid
on this point and action by legislatures

Modern Economy.

The waste wood heap continues to
diminish and pass away.
A Massachusetts manufacturer Of
brushes recently made discovery in
Maine which supplied him with ma
terial exactly suited to his purpose
He went to the Pine Tree state to buy
wood for the backs of hair brushes and
the handles of shaving brushes, and
CHANGED to visit the yards of spool
maker who was using white birch. The
SPOOL man took the white part of the
wood only, and was throwing away the
red parts. Thousands of cords had
been burned or dumped in the lake to
be rid of it.
The red hearts We're exactly what the
brush maker wanted, and at little more
than the expense of freight he supplied
his factory.
This is typical of the trend of man.
ufacturing Waste of wood is still great
but it is decreasing. What one factory
can not use, another turns to profit
Formerly mills threw away half the
forest-tops left in the woods, sawdust
dumped in streams to pollute them and
destroy fish, slabs burned in perpetual
bonfires, and defective logs and low
grade lumber abandoned as not worth
moving.
This policy does not generally prevail
now. Some mills have put in machinery
to work UP their own by-products. 9TH
ers sell their waste to manufacturers
who can use it. as in the case cited in
Maine. The properties and uses OF
woods are now subjects of careful in
vesligation, and the problem of turning
10 account the odds and ends and the
hy-products is brought more to the
front now than formerly.
The United States forest service has
taken up this study in a comprehensive
and systematic way. Investigations of
the woods of particular states are be-
ing conducted. usually in cooperation
with the states concerned. The plan,
when fully carried out, will include
every commercial wood in the United
States, not fewer than 200 species. The
properties of each will be investigated,
It's hardness, toughness. elasticity, du-
rability, weight. fuel value size of tree,
regions where grown, the common
names by which it is know in different
localities, and other matters of this
kind. A history of the woods uses
in the past will be given, and an ac-
count of present uses; together with
suggestions for a wider range of use
fulness in the future by pointing out
in what capacities it will serve best
and be most valuable.

GROUND HOGS IN TAMA.

lTana Democrat.
Southeast Tanla county suffers much
from the ravages of the grounding.
When the animals invade a territory
it isn't long before hay lands become
dangerous for horses and machines and
the grasses spoiled Each supervisor
from the four southeast townships has
endeayored to have bounty put upon
the groundhog-the hope being that
such would lead to war of extermi-
nation. But the grounding isn't gen.
eral turnout the county. as is the squir-
rel, and the bounty has always been
voted out Still a supervisor is elected
to serve the whole county as we'll as his
particular district, and when ground
hogs become menace to farms in any
locality in the county the board should
take means to exterminate the pests.
The grounding is far more dangerous
than the squirrel The bounty could
be tried for couple of years to de-
ternine its usefulness.

To particularize little The admis-
sion of oil free will not reduce the price
of oil to the consumer: the cut in the
rates of duty on lumber. coal and iron
ore never will be felt by the ultimate
consumer of these products and their
manufactures. The removal Of the Is
per cent duty on hides is looked upon
the price of cattle. The hide Of 500
steer is worth about s16 Fifteen per
cent of this would be the limit of any
legitimate effect to flow from the re-
moval of the tariff. Whether this in
auence will reach the producer of the
steer may not be quite so uncertain
as is the proposition that the consumer
is going to get cheaper boots and shoes
and harness as a result of the some
what prohlernatical cuts in the tariff
on leather and leather manufactures,
because the buyer of the steer is better
organized to pass it on" than the
buyer of the boots and shoes and llar-
ness is TO require that it be passed on.
The situation is completely reversed.
The seller of the steer is not organ
and shoes and harness is organized;
the buyer is not. But to resume
the enumeration. The wooden sched-
ules remain unchanged; there will be
no reduction in the price of wooden
clothing. Rates on cotton goods are
advanced; it is a fair assumption that
this. taken in connection with the gem
eral circumstances favorable to such a
tendency, will be followed by an adj
vance in prices on cotton goods There
is nothing in the new tariff to affect
the prices of breadstuffs. Wheat and
corn and rye and barley and oats will
attend at prospertys school and learn
further dignity Of price, modified of
course, by the seasons and by supply
and demand Bacon, ham, pork chops,
poultry, eggs, dairy products and fruit
will keep company with the rest.
The man who believed, whether with
hope or fear, that tariff revision, when
it should come, would mean a turn in
price tendency, now is able to see that
he was mistaken. High and even
higher prices have the call. The stock
market has taken the cue, or gives it,
as you like.

WHOSE FAULT is IT.?
MRS. Payne in Nevada Representative.

A disappointed father has been heard
from. His 22-year-old daughter, on
whom now devolves the keeping of his
home, lacks the substantial, practical
good sense which characterized her
mother at her age, and carries the do
mestic responsibilities devolving upon
her with the judgment of child.
This daughter, Mr.. AS only child,
has been reared indulgently. She has
been her fathers plaything, whose
wants and caprices it has been his de-
light to crafty, and her mother used to
ask no higher privilege that that Of

general trend of her associations took

proud of her marks on the report

her exercises in manual dexterity and

WHERE'S THE ROPE.


Here is a pathetic incident reported
as happening recently An old lady
stepped into a store and picking up a
new potato placed it in her hand bag
and walked out. When the clerk who
saw the queer action went home to
dinner the old lady handed him an egg
and informed him it was to pay for the
potato she had taken, remarktng that
she wanted a taste of new potato but
that her husband would not let her use
any of them out of their garden until
the old ones in the cellar were gone.
This man. whom the law deigns to
call husband, evidently expects to
slip into the pearly gates by wearing
a sanctimonious countenance and recit-
ing long prayers but just such con-
temptible little tricks as this must give
the recording angel writer's cramps re-
cording the deed
