PREFERS COLLEGE MEN.

Mr.. Harmon believes in training college
graduates in preference 10 automobile me-
chanics and chauffeurs. declaring that the
latter as a class are inclined TO be careless
In their habits. and that they would have
difficulty In adapting themselves TO the eX-
treme delicacy of manipulation required
by aeroplane. Such a school he
favors. MIR. Harmon adds. would be great
convenience for prospective purchasers of
aeroplanes.

remaining up IS hours and 20 minutes.
After winning the Iahm Cup he bought
out the interest of his partner. A. Holland
Forbes. and now owns the sole rights in
the balloon. II is said to be the best pri-
vateIy owned balloon In this country. Ia
was built by Captain Thomas Baldwin and
the capacity of the envelope is eighty thou
sand cubic feet
Apropos OF balloons. the well known
aeronaut Leo Stevens has a scheme for
providing for the carrying of a balloon
chauffeur. He proposes 10 erect seat in
the concentrating ring above the centre OF
the car which may be occupied by an at
tendant-a balloon footman. as he might be
called The utilizing of this space would
afford an innovation in the appointments
of the car.
There's no doubt that the day OF the
aeroplane chauffeur is about due" re-
marked Mr.. Stevens at Morris Park last
week. responding TO a question on that
point 1T won't be long before we will
have our out-of-town clubs attended by
wealthy men and women who will watch
aeroplane maneuvres of chauffeurs OF
games Of some description. in which the
chauffeurs are entered as competitors. This
will be the diversion OF men and women
who now patronize polo games or horse
racing.
Every pleasant afternoon these out-of-
town clubs. with their ample grounds. will
be frequented by crowds of aerial enthusi-
asts. and. 1t is safe TO say, field glasses
and telescopes Will be more In vogue than
ever before The chauffeurs will be en-
ployed like jockeys in all probability and
will compete for prizes %

Considerable antagonism is felt by GER
tain members Of -he Aero Club toward
those in the seronautic world who have
hseo tneir inventions for museum purposes
The complaint that aviation degenerates
when It's supporters abandon the study and
improvement Of flying machines for exhibit
ton work seems not altogether unmerited.
Considering the fact, however. that a ma
Jority OF the ablest pioneers in this field
are not wealthy, and that many are Obliged

cism Of their conduct by capitalist sports-

the airship industry is lelt as soundly in

not wish 10 drive all the time or keep the

According 20 good authority, the demand
for such men as aeroplane drivers will
shortly be most urgent, although at pres
ent il appears TO be an even chance

abroad or whether he will be a homemade

In either event the aerial driver will be

OF a hundred or two hundred miles at a

SO placed that there is room for stretch

Naturally such considerations need not
be so much in the mind Of the short trip
driver.
In all such matters IL pays 20 look

perience. but IL is almost as easy and
great deal cheaper 20 get the knowledge

II leads 20 a thousand regrets for every

A POSSIBLE DIFFICULTY.

Mr.. Stevens is inclined 10 the belief that
some difficulty might result from the en-
ployment of foreign chauneurs for aero
planes. in instances where EMPLOYER and
employe were not thoroughly conversant
with the same language. According TO his
observations foreigners who have come TO
the United States for the purpose Of giving
exhibition flights have been greatly embar-
rassed by not understanding the English
LANGUAGE Mr. Stevens declares that there
is scarcely an undertaking requiring the
cooperation of two or more individuals
where the need of a thorough comprehen-
sion is more felt than in the starting of a
balloon or aeroplane flight 1t would seem
probable. In view of this that the Iauded
French pilot would be serviceabe only TO
airship owners OF his own race.
What pleasure Is II for a man to stand
and watch some one else fly about in his
marhine?" asked Clifford B. Harmon. when

hardly think he will serve at present"
When asked il he had any thought OF
abandoning ballooning In consequence OF
his newly acquired interest in aeroplaning.
Mr. Harmon answered emphatically in the
negative. "Ballooning is the real sport"
he added.

ADVICE TO PURCHASERS OF AUTOMOBILES
Some Points That Should Be Definitely Decided Before
the Selection of Car Is Attempted.

Does he want TO go or long tours. cover
ing perhaps two or three thousand or
more miles of road IN the course Of a
summer vacation? Or does he want a car
IN which he can take a spin on Sunday
or on a warm evening, with cruising
radius Of say. about hundred miles from
his home as a limit?
The man who intends 20 keep his car
practically in home territory should get
an idea Of the topography Of the surround
ing country. He should know what grades
HIS car will have TO overcome. and plan
accordingly in his purchase He should
understand the operating conditions fully
and then insist upon demonstrations over
roads and routes selected by him 10 test
the ability of the car 20 do what he wants
Such tests are OF real value. while the
demonstration arranged by the vender

All this is no argument against the small
maker. There are plenty of small manu-

output OF first class cars. fully guaranteed

the purchaser should know something OF

What to Do For a Cough.

The following homemade REM
edy kept in the home ready for
use, will overcome an obstinate
cough quicker than any expensive
medicine you could buy. Any
woman can make it in a few mo-
ments-here is the recipe:
Granulated Sugar Syrup. >. 49,. or
Pinex.. ........ .... 2lHoz.
Put the Pinex in a clean pint
bottle and fill up the bottle with
the Syrup made as follows: Take
pint of Granulated Sugar, add y
cup Of water. stir and let boil just
a moment. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours, as
required. This recipe makes a full
pint Of the cough syrup and if
kept well corked. it will never
spoil. Tastes SO good that children
will take it without kicking.
This simple cough syrup is also
excellent for colds, whooping
cough, bronchial troubles, incipient
consumption, pains in the chest.
etc.
Pinex, as you probably know. is
the most potent form of Norway
White Pine Compound. 1t is very
rich in guaiacol and other elements
which make the ozone of the pine
forests such splendid medicine for
throat and lung troubles. There
are many pine oil preparations, but
none of these compare with the
real Pinex itself. If your druggist
does not happen to have it, he will
be glad to get it for you. The 211a
ounces cost you fifty cents. The
Syrup costs you about four cents.
So you can make a whole pint OF
this effective Cough Syrup for
about fifty-four cents.

Simple Wash Cures Eczema,
Why Salves Fail While Simple
Liquid Has Accomplished
Thousands Of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
| that eczema is purely a skin disease.
due to germ. and durable only
through the skin. It is not a blood
disease at all: in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and
ares perfectly healthy otherwise, and
thereby prove they have no diseased
blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means Of a penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary Oil of winter
green with thymol. glycerine and 9th.
er healing agents. This compound.
known as D. D. D. Prescription, stops
the itch instantly-and the cures all
appear to be permanent In fact, it
took thousands OF cures, case after
case, before the best scientific author
tiles were convinced of the absolute
merit Of this remedy. D. d. D. Pre-
scription kills the germs in the~itch-
ing skin. It's effect is seen within one
minute after the first application. We
especially recommend D. D. d. Soap
IN connection with tho treatment.

two there can be not only no conflict,
but not even SO much as an argument

Of the religious sentiment, for the mo-
ment science attempts to do such a
thing it ceases to be science. There
are many anarmatfons Of theology that
