WIND CHECKS FOR

Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. "A new wrin-
kle in aviation meets, in the way of
wind checks" will be introduced by
the Pittsburg Aero Club at its meet
tomorrow at Brunot's Island. in the
Ohio river. The wind check is a cou-
pom emitting the holder to come
around the next day free Of charge in
case the wind should prevent the
scheduled flights tI,morrow or at any
future meet. The principle is the same
as the baseball rain check Glenn
Curtiss, J. c. Mars and Capt. Baldwin
have been engaged for the meet and
will attempt to penetrate Pittsburg's
pail of smoke. There is much specu-
lation as to whether the smoke will be
a help or a hinderance to the aviator.
II Is suggested that it should prove
to be an aid to fight, on the same
principle az that salt water is more
buoyant to the swimmer.
