one-third OF the distance he was nyfng
a, the rate of a mile a minute. and had
he not encountered heavy air currents he
would doubtless have been able to make
the entire, flight at record-breakfng speed
There was nothing particularly spec
tacular about this flight or Curtss. lie
was flying over a surface much smoother
than that OF the land and encountering
comparatively few obstacles. Flight over
the water is really safer than over the
land. for a fall is likely to be less dis
astrous. At the same time these over
water flights are always interesting be-
cause they suggest possibilities OF long
distance air travel strongly appealing to
the imagination
The public still waits for a great cross
country flight. with aviators starting
from a given point at a fixed time and
proceeding with only such stops as their
necessities require toward a goal hun

Aviation Is today the most fascinating

ereasing number OF followers. both pro-
fessional and amateur, whose achieve

records for height. for speed. for length

Drexel record for height OF 6752 feet, es-
tablished the 18th OF August, has already

The Secretary OF War went to the
islands believing that American occu-

seemed to confirm him in 1t. He
frankly expressed his views in public

Patterson and Hooper.

Gov Patterson OF Tennessee has chal-

governorship TO a joint debate. He Is
rated as a strong campaigner. and Mr..
Hooper also Is an effective stump orator
A series OF meetings between the two

A joint debate now, however. might not
prove the best thing for the public good.

 Bitter is Dead.

Danbury has a mad dog scare, but it will probably be some time before it is learned whether the strange dog which bit twenty-five dogs, eight cows, a horse and a man was actually mad. H. O. Averil1. commissioner on do- mestic animals, got a letter yesterday from Dr. G. B. Lemmer, who Is health officer of Danbury, notifying him of the dogs exploits and also informing him that the dog had been killed by the local dog warden and it's carcass buried seven days ago. It is thus Impossible to discover if the dog had the rabies, and Commission CT Averi11 has, therefore, deemed it necessary to take every precaution ten should develop that disease. It badly bitten. the dogs teeth having failed to break the skin.
 Yesterday afternoon General Averill issued orders that all dogs known to have been bitten by the supposedly mad dog be closely confined for a period of thirty days, and that none Of these dogs be taken out of con- fnement during that period unless 1t wear a wire muzzle and be fastened to a leash. The dog warden is di- rected to kill all of these twenty-five dogs not confined according to orders. The commissioner on domestic anil maIs has asked all Danbnry officials and all growers of dogs bitten to notify his office immediately if any of the dogs develops suspicious into effect at noon of Tuesday.
