AEROPLANE CIRCUIT
is NOW PROPOSED
ST. Louis Eager to Equal Metropolis
of Southern California -Suc-
cess Here Given Warm
Praise

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2S.-Aero enthusi-
asts in st. Louis consider that the sue
cess of the Los Angeles aviation meet
will make the arrangements for a
similar meet here in the spring or fall
much easier matter than it was
several weeks ago. Los Angeles not
only held an aeroplane tournament in
which worlds records were broken, but
one that was financially successful
In order to bring Paulhan, Curtiss,
Hamilton and others to the meet 1t
was necessary to post $4,000 in prizes.
Moreover the other expenses were ex-
ceedingly large. But the grandstand
was filled every day and the gate re-
ceipts exceeded the total expenditures.
And this when the crowds were forced
to go sixteen miles from Los Angeles
to the aviation field.
The Centennial aviation tournament
held here in October was financed by
merchants in the city. 1t was suggest
ed after this meet a syndicate finance
the next tournament and charge admls-
sions to the aviation field. 1t now seems
that the formation of such syndicate
is not only a possibility but prooa-
bility.
site Being considered
Members of the Aero club of st. Louis
point to the fact that an average OF
more than 100000 persons surrounded
the aviation field in Forest park every
day of the meet here last october. Their
natience in waiting, even when Curtiss
was not flying and showed little dispo-
sition to fly, has convinced the Aero
club members that the interest here in
aeroplaning is extraordinary and that
as financial undertaking an aeroplane
meet would be successful.
1t is important that st. Louis be
able to offer a good field in or near
the city where an aeroplane tourna-
ment can be held.
Albert Bond Lambert, vice president
of the Aero club; d. r. Francis, one
of the governors and other members
are now trying to find such field:
They have realized the necessity OF
doing this before the conference or the
aero clubs is held.
A possible sight suggested is that
tract of land between the river and
North Broadway, known as the Co
lumbia bottoms.
The space. clear with the exception
of a few rough places, is about mile
square. The fact that it is on the river
is one of the advantages, as an aero
plane driver feels safer above water
than above land, and it has also been
suggested that long distance flights
could be made up and down the river
from this field.
Aviators to Form Syndicate
Another site suggested is between the
two lakes at CreVe Occur This tract is
about a mile wide and two miles long.
It's distance from the city is the chief
objection. Another field suggested is on
the Olive street road about three miles
from the city limits. 1t could be con-
verted into an oval field mile long
and half a mile wide.
News dispatches from New York
state that a syndicate is being organ
lied to exhibit the famous aeroplane
drivers. Such a syndicate would bring
to this country this spring and sum-

ROSE HILL SCHOOL

All mothers should read the advice
regarding school lunches. the result of
a discussion at the January meeting
of the Rose Hill association. Miss NJ
C. Biffer, principal of the school,
spoke frome wide experience. She de-
clared that many fond mtohers were
indulging their children too generously
as regards the school lunch box.
"a majority of the children are given
too much food" said this speaker "As
a result the children who dine so heav-
lily are dull and drowsy in the after
noon. An oyerplus of food in the mid
die OF the day is not best either for the
child or the brain.
Again, mothers should not include
so much meat in the lunches. I would
advise more fruit and less of the
heavier foods.'
A lively discussion followed, the
mothers agreeing with Miss Biffer and
admitting that they had not realized
the Importance of attention to this sub
ject.
The association, although young, is
very active in the work A cup and
saucer shower has been planned and
much work is being outlined for the
future.

only share with others, and those, per
haps, comparative strangers.
No mother can realize how ungen-
erous she can be until her darling
shows her that all the joy of life can
not be of her giving-that some of it
must come from other channels. She
receives the fact only because she
must, and finds her graciousness taxed
to the utmost If she entertains the
idea at all. So, dear mothers, it must
be forever. Only as our hearts can
encompass and include the joys and
interests of those dear to us will we
be able to keep pace with the ad-
vancing life of your boys and girls.
And if that on which your love seemed
to thrive vanishes and love is left
alone, still love on, generously, faith
fully, and extend your sympathy into
every new relation until you know
for certainty that the Lord loveth
a cheerful giver, Love on, no matter
what cOueS"

mer some of the most famous aviators
in the world and the result would be
that a circuit would be made OF the
different cities where aeroplane meets
will be held.
This will, of course, make the expen-
ses of getting famous foreign drivers
considerably less. Latham a short
time ago refused an offer of $4,000 to
appear at Los Angeles. He said he
refused because of the number of en-
gagements that he had in Europe, the
aggregate remuneration for which was
much greater, though no single offer
was as high as that made by the Los
Angeles promoters.
With a series of aeroplane meets
scheduled in different cities of this
country from New York to San Fran
cisco it is thought that Latham, BE
riot and other foreign aviators VIII
come because there is more money for

DENVER. Dec. 13-Cement high.
ways from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
coasts are proposed in a plan pre-
sented today to the Colorado Conser.
vation commission by John Brsben
Walker The commission adopted a
resolution approving of MI Walker 8
plan and asking the legislators OF the
II states more Immediately interested
to ship money for the furtherance of
the plan and petition congress TO take
action,
Mr.. Walker believes that the cost
OF transportation of pasensgers and
freight from the Atlantic and Pacific
may be cut In half if the federal gov
ed will construct scientifically built
highways as follows:
From Denver to the Mississippi at
st. Louis
From Denver TO the Great Lakes at
Chicago
From Denver to the gulf at Calves
ton,
From Denver to the Pacific ocean
at Seattle
From Denver to the Pacific ocean
at San Francisco and Los Angeles
Mr.. Walker presented an elaborate
array of figures and maps to prove
that the rates for haulage over such
highways would be only so per cent
of the existing railway rates. His
idea Is for the government to pay half
the cost OF the highways and the
states traversed the remainder.
