AERO CLUB ASSURED
OF BALLOON FLIGHT
American Will Be Used as a Captive
and Later Sent on Trip During
Show at Fiesta
Park

The first Aero club show in Los An
geles, which will be held at the Fiesta
park stadium April "a and %, is assured
of at least one actual flight. Arrange
ments were made yesterday by which
the balloon American will be used as a
captive on the days of the show and
will later be sent away on a trip
piloted bytCapt. A. e. Mueller.
This was consented to by Dick Ferris
and j. b. Lehigh, the owners of the
balloon, and was assured through the
news that the pack train and Capt
Mueller's party bringing the American
bask from Strawberry peak were al
Switzer's camp last night.
They will bring the balloon to Pasa-
dena today and ship it into Los An
geles tomorrow. when it will be sewed
up and made ready for the aeronautiC
show. AS it was impossible to bring
the basket on the trip a special basket
will be made by members of the Aero
club of California for use at the show
and another trip will be made for Mr.
Ferris basket next month
Arrangements were made last night
for sending up a small balloon contain
ing about 1000 cubic feet of gas each
day next week to advertise the Aero
club exhibit. Each balloon will be COM
plete in miniature and will carry free
tickets to the aeronautic exhibition with
a statement that the balloon will be the
property of the finder. Those who OBJ
tain the balloons are requested to tele-
phone the aeronautic reporter of The
Herald. The first of the small balloons
will be sent up Monday from Fiesta
park.
The glider trials at the aeronautc
show promise to be the special figure,
as the contests will be warm between
different types. Individual members
and the auxiliary clubs have made a
number of new elders, and a commit
tee is at work on the launching tower
1t was decided last night to add to
the other exhibits a historical presenta-
ton, a part of which will be a collec-
ton of photographs taken over South
ern California by the balloonists who
have made ascensions in the last five
wears.

PROPER CONDUCT MERITS
PRIVILEGES OF UNIFORM
MANAGEMENT of Soldiers Home Will
Refuse Certain Liberties to
Protect the Blue

SAWTELLE, April 15.-The three
thousand or more members of the Sol
diers' home are earnestly discussing
the interview of Colonel Cochrane re-
garding the abuse of the government
uniform.
Many are inclined to be indignant at
what they term a general slight on all
who wear the home uniform. That
their resentment is in a measure called
for is generally admitted, but 1t should
be stated that through some fault the
statement that Colonel Cochrane would
prevent men leaving the post in civilian
clothes was originally stated in this
manner: II will see to it that such
AS WE CANNOT TRUST TO CON-
DUCT THEMSELVES PROPERLY do
not leave the home only in civilian
clothes"
The old soldiers as a whole are all
trying to uphold the honor of the home
and the dignity of the uniform, and
it is only those who do not conduct
themselves properly while on leave
that the general public takes any no
tice of, and it is against this latter
class that the authorities are working
in their endeavors to keep liquor from
them.

SAILOR FALLS OVERHEARD;
SENTENCED TO EXTRA DUTY
Jackie on Monitor Cheyenne Must Pay
Penalty for His Involuntary
Swim

SAN PEDRO, April 15.-C. H. Theft,
a sailor on the United States monitor
Cheyenne, has received a sentence of
ten hours extra duty for falling over
board yesterday while the monitor was
on a cruise. The sentence is attributed
to carelessness and leaving the ship
without permission"
At the time of the accident the YES
sci was at high speed and it was with
the greatest difficulty that Theft was
rescued. Full of water and gasping
for breath, he was subsequently
dragged on board and as soon as re-
lieved of the aqua pura was taken be-
fore the crews court and sentenced.
While the crew were disposed to look
upon the affair as huge joke, Theft
failed to see any levity connected with
the occurrence, which he described to
a mate as "a bloomin' bit of red tape
which he could not understand and
which he failed to appreciate"

Now, when the gentle Spring
days are here and the seasonable
Spring showers are revivifying all
natupe, and all plant life is start
ing to bud forth in glory, many a
man and woman does not feel
the joyousness which they should
at this season. Rather they feel
languid, tired, have very little or
no appetite, ambition is gone,
lack energy, enjoy neither work
nor rest. Life in their case at
least is largely burden, thing
to be endured, not to be enjoyed.
All this simply means that the
system needs toping up, and each
and every function of the body
needs stimulating and strengthen
ing. This once accomplished, life
again becomes JOY and pleasure.
If your system is in need of a
blood-cieansing tonic that will
start and then keep the whole
machinery of the human frame
running smoothly and naturally,
it is yox-evident duty to seek out
and find some tried, approved and
safe remedy that will do the work
of cleansing the blood and build
ing up the tissue without at the
same time leaving any injurious
effects.
Many physicians prescribe and
indorse Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key as an ideal Spring medicine,
one that does'its work effectively
in purifying the blood, in stimu-
lating the heart, in aiding diges-
ton and in adding fresh vigor and
life to the entire body. Large
numbers of those who have used
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are
most loud in its praise.
1t is the only absolute preventa-
tive and cure of pneumonia, con-
sumption, grip, bronchitis, asth-
ma, stomach and nervous dis
eases, malaria and low fevers.
If weak and run down, take a
teasroonful four times a day in
half glass of milk or water.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
sold throughout the world by
druggists, grocers and dealers, Or
shipped direct for $1.00 per bottle.
If in need of advice, write Con-
sulting Physician, Duffy's Malt
Whiskey Company, Rochester,
New York, stating your case
fully. Our doctors will send you
advice free, together with an IL
lustrated medical booklet, con-
tanning some of the many thou
sands of gratifying letters re-
ceived from men and women in
