b" HE problem OF aerial navigation
has appealed to the mind of
man for centuries. In no
branch Of scientific investiga-
tion has man been so enthusias-
tic. so daring and so willing to risk his
life to demonstrate the validity of his
theories, whose unsoundness has been
proved, in many cases, by the injury
or death of the misguided theorist.
The evolution OF aeronautics, from The
winged flight of Daedalus and his son
Icarus to the triumph of the Wright
brothers, is history full of failure
and discouragements that tells the
story of mans unceasing and stub
born fight to conquer the elements.
The men who devote their lives to
the study of aviation have met with
many and various obstacles which
tend to place them in the eyes Of the
public as vislonaries held in the spell
Of a foolish dream. The deception of
the public by charatans, the impossi-
BILE claims of cranks, the use of bal
looms and parachutes for spectacular
leaps for life to attract the bucolic
multitude to country fairs and cir
cuses. together with the failure of
many projects Of real scientific value,
have. until the last decade, caused the
generality Of thinking mankind to look
somewhat askance on aeronautics as
science.
The scientific investigation OF aerial
conditions has been one of the main
factors In the success of aerial naviga-
tions and the epoch-making researches
of the late Professor Langley, which
in 1891 he published In book entitled
Experiments on Aerodynamics, have
been the foundation upon which our
present day system of aerial flight is
based. Aerodynamics as a science is
yet in It's infancy and has not emerged
from the experimental stage, while the
theory Of air pressures and resistances
on moving surfaces is little under.

"FAIR APRON" MAKES A HIT
Designed by Clever Young Woman
Who Found No Further Space
for Table at Fair.

"The Fair Apron" it is called by the
clever young woman who is it's origin
ator. There being no further space for
table at the church fair In which she
was anxious to help, she conceived
the idea of making big, stout apron

med with q triple row of narrow white
braid. Two smaller pockets were
made higher up. All of these pockets
were hastily ornamented by pictures
Of Teddy bears, ETC.. outlined in thick
white floss. The apron was fastened
around the waist by two stout cords,
which helped support its weight.
So great was the success of this
plan with the children who were too
small to get near the big tables that
the second day Of the fair she was
obliged to hang a tray around her
neck to hold the further wares de-
manded Of her!

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
/ take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation I have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick.
ness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape.
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing 30 nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hu.
man system on the days work.

a complete breakfast can be made Of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think 1t Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. / also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.

OREGON APPLE
SHOW NEXT WEEK

Rather than have the Portland

account of the distance from the
business streets, the management has
accepted the tender of the three upper
floors Of the building on the corner of
Fourth and Washington and formerly
occupied by 0lds, Workman q King,
where the exhibits will be displayed
November 20, 80 and December !.
Space on the exhibit and concession
floors has been contracted for already
on an extensive scale and the entries
number twice as many as were at the
show last year.
In the three days of the show the
Oregon State Horticultural Society
will hold session on the fourth floor,
now occupied by the Order of Moose.
Speakers have been engaged to
deliver addresses in the lecture room
and the faculty of the State Agricul-
tural College will give demonstrations
of the pests which affect apples, as
well as of a model orchard. President
Atwell visited Spokane, where he
secured exhibits for Portland from
the National Apple Show. There will
also be an exhibit of apple pests
bugs, worms, aphises and all other
things which do harm to the apple
orchard.

LOCALS WINS GAME
SCORE 5 TO z

The Hood River football team
triumphed over the Wabash team OF
Portland Sunday on the new athletic
grounds, Chapman Park, below the
depot. The felp had just been graded
and the rain made it soft and ratner
slippery. A meager crowd braVed the
stormy weather to witness the game
which started at 3 o'clock. Captain
Hartley kicked off for Hood River
and later recovered the ball on Wab-
ash's 10 yard line. BY a series OF
bucks and end runs the ball was sent
over for touchdown. Sexton failed
to kick goal.
After that, it was a see-saw back
and forth across the field. Forward
passes were tried by both teams with
little success as the slippery ball was
hard to hold and costly fumbIes were
| made by both sides. Several times
did Hood River near Wabash's goal
only to lose the ball on downs when
their opponents braced. The score
made by the visiting team was a
safety secured in the fourth period.
Hood Rivers goal was never in dan
ger while their opponents were con-
| tinually pressed and had it not been Tor
the wet field the score would probably
have been larger.
In the line, Kent, Sexton and ShiveIy
were a stone wall and made great
holes for the backs, Garrabrant, Sin
clair and CoshoW, who also played
well. johnny Coshow at quarter

SHEPARD URGES
COOPERATIVE PLAN

A cooperative plan for marketing
the entire output of all the great
orchards of the northwest SO as to give
the largest possible share OF the proht
to the producers, was outlined To-Day
at the conference of growers in con-
nection with the Third National Apple
Show.
The appointment of committee to
devise the most feasible method OF
carving out the idea was authorized.
Every apple growing district in the
Northwest states is to be represented
on this committee. 1t is to meet at a
specially called meeting of the North
western Fruitgrowers Association,
which has not met since 1908, at some
time and place to be decided by them
selves.
The appointment of the committee
was left in the hands of w. II. lrlsh,
of North Yakima, who was unanimous
ly elected chairman Of the conference
after E. H. Shepard, of Hood River,
had withdrawn his name from nomlna
tion. w. w. Sawyer, of Sunnyslde
was secretary of the meeting.
The idea was suggested that body

task of marketing all the apples o.
this region. 1t was taken up and elap
Grated by Mr.. Shepard.

price asked by the retail dealer arr
