Surrounding the fountain were great bouquets of roses, pansies, carnations and other flowers showing their particular sheen in the flames.

JOHNSTONE'S WORK
 WAS SENSATIONAL

The work of Ralph Johnstone, the avia- tor of Wright aeroplanes, who will drive one of those machines in exhibition flights every day at the Alabama state fair, was witnessed by J. Hugh Conley of Birmingham, while he was in Boston recently spending his vacation. He said that Johnstone was easily the star of the aviation meet on the Harvard fields and that Birmingham and the fair are to be congratulated on having secured him from the Wright brothers.
 He told many interesting stories of the meet, and relates several Imaginable anec- dotes that were not sent out from Bos- ton in the press dispatches.
 .'The bomb-throwing trials" he said, afforded great amusement to the spec tators. Ralph Johnstone won first money and massive loving cup offered to the aviator who would drop bombs nearest the miniature battleship on the field. Eggs were used in the place of real bombs, and two that he dropped were not difficult to find. They landed on the heads and clothing of ladies more than 600 feet distant from the target aimed at. Even this great miss was the nearest of all, and he won the prize.
 Eggs dropped by Curtiss were never found and the Boston reporters declared that friction. against the air caused them to hatch and the chickens, alighting, ran away before being discovered by the judges.
 ''Johnstone and Brookins, who operated Wright machines, easily excelled all their competitors in maneuvers and skill. Once Johnston stood the planes of his machine vertically while the spectators sprang to their feet believing that he was about to be dashed to the earth, 2o0o feet beneath All doubt that this startling feat was ment's time, when he deliberately re- peated it. to the consternation of Wilbur Wright and the 10000 people crowded in the grandstands.
 ''Brookins. not to be outdone by his partner, accomplished several startling tricks in the air, and then Johnstone came back at him by rising to a height of 800 feet and, stopping his motor, per- mitted his machine to drop like a shot d SHteT fSt ltcl SldIleu HIS 0OtOT aBdl1 and skinned the earth but three feet below him for a quarter of mile
 within a few minutes Wilbur Wright signaled his daring operators to alight, and delivered a strong lecture on their foolhardness, but he wound up by ad- hitting to them that he was very proud of them.
 'In all the balance of my life I never expect to see anything so thrilling. Had I seen nothing else on my trip north I should feel amply repaid. I would not miss the fair since the flying mac chine has been secured for anything in the world I could watch those graceful machines forever

The writer recently received a copy or the Calgary Daily News of September 20 with the following article marked;

 Certainly the hold which baseball has upon the American people is emphasized bv this item about Alabama, when there are so many things of magnitude and importance which might have hiied the columns of the Canadian newspaper.

LASTIKOPS WEBBING
Our Great invention Has Revolution
 ized Consolidating

Before we invented Lastikops Web ping, we never used elastic in our corsets, simply because there was then no elastic fabric in existence that would give satisfactory wear.
 Lastikops Webbing wears long and retains its elasticity because the rubber strands are firmly held in the ,ton-elastic portion of the fabric, and cannot work loose and pull out. It is not injured by sewing, for the needle does not weaken the rubber strands. It is elastic enough to insure comfort, but firm enough to give perfect support. Used only in

 Like all other successful Memo inventions, Lastikops Webbing is already being unsatccessfnlly an'i- tated. The genuine article is used ONLY in Memo products. All the var ious limitations are simply ordinary elastics in disguise-just as unrelia- ble and disappointing as ever.

SteiinWay
 Piano
At the Courts of
 the Old World

The supremacy of the Steinway Piano is un- questioned. It's fame IS spread broadcast all over the globe. It's status wherever music holds sway is that of premier ship.
 Search the annals of the world and no other house in any line can be found that has been dis tingllished by such an ar ray of honors. The Roy al and Imperial Houses of the Old World have near ly all signally honored the House of Steinway by ap- pointme7lt as Pianoforte Manufacturers to their re- spective courts.
 Such royal appoint ments as H. R. H., the Princess of Wales and the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrowitsch (broth- CT of the present Car of Russia) having designat- ed Steinway < Sons by Royal warrants as their official piano manufac- turers.
 Such recognition can be the result of but one thing the International Su- premacy of the Steinway Piano.
 That the Steinway rep resents the highest achievement in piano con- struction ever attained is self-evident.
