Man Who Flew From Paris to London Makes His Flight In a FOg-P. o. ParmeIce Wins Cheers By
 Spectacular Work

New York, October 2.-(Special)- The worlds second national aviation meet opened promptly at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon in spite of the steady drizzling rain that turned Belmont park into sodden marsh. A few seconds after the detonation of the bomb that announced the malIopening of Amer ica's first great flyins meet, J. Arm strong Drexel, the millionaire Ameri- can who lives in England. sprang into the air with his Bleriot monoplane to compete for the hourly distance event, the first number on the official pro- gramme.
 Even though MT. Drexel is .an inn ported American. the few spectators who witnessed the inauguration of the meet took pride in the fact that it was begun by flyer who competes for the glory of the Stars and Stripes.
 CurIously enough there is reason for pride that the most spectacular feat of the day was also performed by an American, albeit he is imported, when John B. Moissant. the Chicago man who flew from Paris to London, con- cluded the days programme by mak- ing 40-mile. flight through rain and fog, sweeping out to the east of Long Island and flying as far as Hicks vile, steering over territory that he did not know and could scarcely see solely by the aid of a compass. In do- ing this he performed a feat that the Frenchmen declare Is impossible.

On the other hand 1t appears that the Massach usetts leaders are greatly relieved at getting the colonel off their hands without his making any outburst that would embarrass them.
 Colonel Roosevelt's visit to Massa- chusetts has brought out the fact that the republicans there have been in a state of anxiety since his Osawatomie speech. They would gladly have kept him out of the state if they could.

During the interval that intervened Claude Grahame-W White, the British champion, steadily ground away through fog and mist in his success full endeayor to capture the two dis tance events of the day. But the avia- tors are jubilant because plucky lit- tic Moissant also took second place In these events, while another Amer ican.

 Altogether 1t was day of victories for American flyers Besides Grahame- White, the Englishman. the only for eign competitor to appear on the field was Count Jacques des Lesseps, who rose to height of 62S feet in his Bier lot monoplane, during which he was in the air just minutes and 25 seconds

Bad Day for Sport


 If today's atmospheric conditions had prevailed at a horse race or automobile race, or yacht race, 1t would have been postponed
 Todays events at Belmont Park signal iy demonstrated that man has conquered the elements with the last vehicle by which he travels through space Capt Thomas c. Baldwin, the oldest aviator driving an aeroplane, opened the day at o'clock in the morning by flying from Mineoia to the aviation grounds a dis tance of seven miles. The American built craft whizzed on its journey like streak. It reached its destination in less than six minutes, travelling at the rate Of little less than mile minute.
 At o'clock Tod Schriver, whose ma chine was at Belmont Park, determined to try 1t out. Starting eastward, the craft headed into the wind flying toward the course, known already as Dead Mans Curve" This turn is the eastern extremity of the mile and a half course and is bordered by clump of tall trees, which works among the aviators who attempt to negotiate It. The trees cause the air to form a whirlpool which forces the machine earthward. AS the unfortu- nate Schriver started to whirl around the curve his craft dropped like lead. At the same time a sudden gust of wind struck the craft abeam and almost capstsed 1t. The machine crashed to earth and crum- pied up as If 1t were made of pasteboard. Schriver rose from the mass Of wreck age with Q gash under his eye, cheek and nose. As he crawled into the automobile of friend who took him to the Nassau hosiptal, the tears rolled down his Cheelts

.Parmelee's Flight

Between 12 and o'clock P. o. Parme- lee. one of the Wright aviators, went aloft to qualify for his license as . pilot of the Aero Club of America. Parmelee has been flying for six weeks. Like ell the other Wright fiyers he handles his craft with consuminate skill. Three three- kilometre flights were made The effect was spectacular and prompted the judges to rush forward and wiring Parmelee's s hand when he finally alighted
 Ralph Johnstone, who had attempted to start in the distance event, was obliged to come down before the grandstand on account of a defective carburetor. After DeLesseps had disappeared in the fog in the west and returned making a sensa- tional landing by gliding over the tele- graph wires with his power shut off, Ely again made an effort to wrest the alti- tude honors from Hoxsey. But the Cur tiss flyer came down after a short flight When all the machines had come down Moissant prepared to make his spectac- ular cross-country flight. At 4:19 he sped away in his big Bleriot machine for the goal ballooon which was supposed to hover over field in the neghborhood of the Meadow Hunt club, 10 miles away. As the management had failed to send the balloon up until Moissant was on his way back, he could not find the goal and flew 10 miles past it. Forty-four min utes after leaving the field he landed within few feet of the spot from which he had started.

TO COMBAT MAIL
 ORDER HOUSES

Don't blame people for buying goods from the mail order houses Don't imagine that the average citi- zen is going to be moved by any great patriotic impulse to trade al home simply to benefit the com munlty. The fact is that the aver age man is already feeling a little grouchy at the high prices of al most everything, and if he can find some way to buy his goods, wares and merchandise a little cheaper by sending away for them, he will proba bly, send. Of course he is likely to be fooled. He is likely to get inferior goods. and all that, but what's the difference, if he sends away? The money is gone, and it won't come back.
 The place to head off on the mail order buying is before it starts. And the way to head it off is to convince the people that they can actually do better by trading at home. It can be done, but it takes some exercise of brains. Whenever clever antagonist is using brains to devise schemes to get the best of you in. some way, whether it is in game of chess, battle for blood, or a fight for business, it becomes necessary for you to use brains too, or he will "get" you. The mail order house is using brains in it's advertising. In order for you to meet that sort of competition you must use brains. You must study your advertising; plan it out care fully to meet the exact conditions which are presented. Make your advertising with this point in view; to convince prospective customers that you can sell them better goods at better prices than anyone else.
 If these mail order advertise ments are sufficiently convincing; if they make people believe that they can get goods chea per by send ing away. the money will go, and no amount of high sounding argu- ment about patronizing home in- dustries will do any good. The merchant himself buys goods where he can get goods cheapest and the customer will certainly do the same.
 The way to meet such competi- tion is to study their advertising. Make your advertising readable. Give the customer a square deal. Do not pretend to be selling goods at loss. You are entitled to profit and the customer has sense enough to know it. Make your profit reasonable one, advertise your prices, and deliver the goods as advertised, and the customer will in most cases be satisfied. The customer would rather trade at home than send his money away, but he will not sacrifice his own welfare to do so. and you wouldn't do it yourself Merchants Journal

"WETS" AND "DRYS"
 BREAK ABOUT EVEN

The municipal elections through out the country last week do not give any forceful indication of the trend of sentiment for or against prohibition. The "wets" generally claim the result as a whole to have been a victory. Yet while the "wets" won back some ground in some of the states where the battle has been partially fought out, it is to be noticed that the "drys" are pushing on into new fields. Of the general result the New York World gays:
 "On the whole it has not been a good week for prohibition in the West. There has been voting under local option by towns in Illinois, Nebraska and Colorado and by counties in Michigan, with obvious advantages to the thirsty. In To- peka, Kan, there was no direct liquor issue, but a mayor was elect ed who is understood to favor li- cense.
 "In Illinois 39 "dry" towns turned to wet" while 19 reversed that and no "dry" remained as they were. Decatur, which went "dry" by 1920 two years ago, is now wet" by 500. The cities gen erally remain with the license party.
 "In Colorado the ''dry" voters made gain or two towns in the p voting, but the 'wet". still have 13 of the number.
 Twenty counties out of 26 voting in Michigan returned 'dry" vic- tories, but these will close only 282 out of ,161 in the voting territory. Of 25 counties already wet" IA voted to stay so, while of ten "dry" counties in the voting lot two re versed themselves. Kent county, including Grand Rapids, repulsed the prohibitionists by 800 ma jority after hot campaign. Wex- ford and Oakland counties return ed to the license column after two years of drouth. An interesting "dry" victory was won in Ingham county, which holds Lansing, the state capital.
 "In Nebraska 1855 cities and vii lages voted. 76 of these were car ried for license. In the state now the "wet" forces hold S9 towns, with a total population of 1.175; the dry sign is on 67 towns, popu- lation S6,713. II wet" towns and 15 "dry" Topped on Tuesday,"

WE clip the following from the Yuma Sentinel. As Couonino coun- ty is in the same boat with Yuma taxpayers, no doubt the item will prove interesting reading:
 Territorial Engineer J. B. Cir and announces the beginning of the preliminary survey for the high way from Phoenix to Yuma. A preliminary survey is something indefinite and limited only by the squared meets and bounds of tue district traversed and the amount of funds available for expense ac- counts. Inasmuch as the Yuma county board of supervisors have placed at Engineer Girand's dis posal $8,5OO of the taxpayers money, his surveying corps should hardly be stinted in their expendi- lures on the aforesaid survey, and when it comes to Iunning up ex- pense accounts ar engineering corps knows thing or two or three or four. When this survey is com pleted the taxpayers of Yuma coun- ty may have the pleasure of riding out on the highway" and looking at the stakes along the line. It is about the only return for their money they are ever likely to get"
 Even riding out and taking a look at surveyors stakes is a pleas ure that will be denied the taxpay- CTS of Coconino county for years to come, judging by the progress so far made by the territorial engineer
