The sight of a package of toasted
corn flakes thrown through one of the
large plate glass in the show windows
OF Bell Bros. store attracted a great
deal OF attention today. The Illusion
was perfect; half the box showed on
the outside of the window and the
other half on the inside, while long
cracks in the broken glass branched
of In different directions. OF course,
half the box was pasted on the glass
inside and the other half on the out
side. but 1t was so cleyerly done as
to make the deception complete. The
window was decorated with hundreds
of boxes of the delicious toasted corn
flakes.

Memphis Aviator Escapes ALI
most Uninjured, but His
Machine Is Wrecked

MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 1O.-Losing
control of a Curtiss biplane which he
was operating at a height of as feet,
J. c. Mars plunged downward with ter
rife speed into the field of the aviation
course here late today, alighting on
top OF a touring car in which were
seated three women and two children.
A canopy top over the touring car
saved the lives Of its occupants, only
one Of whom was slightly injured. The
biplane smashed into bits, and Mars
was caught under the wreckage, but
escaped with no injuries other than a
badly wrenched knee and slight cut
on his chin.
IN the automobile were Mrs. Edward
Ritter, Miss Edna Ritter. Louis Ritter
and Mrs. wilmer Smith and child, all
Of this city. Mrs. Ritter was the only
one TO be injured, receiving a slight
cut in the shoulder Ritter was stand
ing ar the side of the car, having just
finished fastening up the canopy top.
He was knocked down by one of the
planes Of the flying machine.
The accident brought to a thrilling
close Memphis first aviation meet
Thousands OF people followed the avi-
ator in his flight across the mile course,
saw his machine caught in a strong
gust OF wind, spin around like a top
and then plunge downward. Screams
of terror were heard on all sides when
st was seen that the biplane would
land squarely on the automobile.
Its flight was too quick for the oc-
cupants Of the car to jump. and they
huddled on the floor of the tonneau.
The bipIane struck squarely on the en-
gine hood Of the automobile, and then
crumpled over on the canopy top.
Mars had shut of his engine when the
aeroplane started down, and in a few
moments spectators were dragging the
Vreckage from the automobile. first
taking out Mars and then the occupants
of the car.
Mars first public flight was made at
the Memphis meet, and yesterday he
carried off the honors by his high
flights. skill and daring. He also sue
ceeded in equaling Curtiss' start record

Mother Was Prominent

The elopement of Baroness Ethel
Calhoun de Forest. sister OF Lord Ger
ard. with Lieutenant Ashton of the Sec
ond life guards, is of special interest
in this country because of the promin-
ence of Ashton's mother. who. before
her marriage to Robert Ashton, was
Miss C. Dungardner. a leader Of the
smart set in New York. Following the
death of her first husband, Mrs. Ashton
married the earl of Scarborough.
Baroness de Forests elopement with
the dashingi young lieutenant was her
second escapade OF the kind. Her
brother. Lord Gerard, succeeded on the
former occasion in inducing her to
leave Ashton and return to her home
but the scandal was kept secret. and
did not become public until after her
second elopement early in February.
The search begun following the sec
ond runaway has become worldwide
but SO far has been futile. The
elopers were located once at Las Pal
mas. Teneriffe. where they had taken
refuge in a second class hotel, and the
injured husband started in search of
them with the announcement that he
intended to challenge Ashton to a duel
Lord Gerard, however, is a bitter en-
emy of Baron de Forest, and instead
of attempting this time to induce his
sister to return, is said to have Of
fered to become young Ashton's Sec
ond in the prospective duel The af-
fair of honor never materialized, how
ever, for the runaway couple disap-
peared before the enraged baron ar
rived on the scene.
Baroness de Forests marriage
caused almost as great a sensation as
her more recent elopements A vio
lent love affair is said to have first
brought the baron and baroness to-
gether and to have resulted in the an
nulment of the baron's former mar
riage to Nine. Menier, the wealthy
widow of the French chocolate manu-
