ScofferS PE. TO ROul When frSt.
while Aerial Arctic Explorer
Breaks BaIlOOning
Records.
by JAMES 4. LDCrRrON.

wv YHIIE the first attempt TO 0y
SayTsy over the Atlantic ocean in
V - an airShip MAS not a sue
cess, the very fact chat such
an effort was seriously nlaIc is in it
self Il victory. The Wellmau fight
broke two records. 1t was 10y far and
away the longest journey ever made
over the water either by L balloon or
an aeroplane. Indeed. ii was the first
real oversee voyage ever attempted
since all other lights OF this descrip-
ton were only across narrow necks of
the sea. Not only 50. but the America
broke all records for sustained fight
on either sea or land. having been in
the air nearly three days and nights.
These points must bc placed to Well
mans credit-that he had the courage
to undertake feat which the whole
world said was impossible and came
as near as he did To its accomplish
ment that he risked life in the inter
( estS of science. that he provided his
| airShip with safeguards by means Of
! which the whole crew was rescued and
/ that he discovered the weaknesses of
his craft and made future niSht across
the Atlantic possible.

Last Word From Wireless.

After the great dirigible had disap-
peared in the fog at S:35 on Saturday
morning messages from her wireless
sputtered their way to the shore bat
teries or to nearby ships all through
Saturday and up to noon Of Sunday.
The last heard Of her she was off Nan
tucket. having made about one-sixth
of the journey across the Atlantic.
Then to a query If all was well with
her the answer came family. Yes"
followed by still fainter "Goodby."
Then for nearly forty-cight hours the
world was held in suspense. During
that time there was constant bonn
bardment of wireless messages from
shore and sea trying to locate her.
The tension was increased by the re-
port that there had been severe cleo
trical storm off Sable island which
might have overtaken the venturous
new ship and her crew. Not until
Tuesday afternoon was the suspense
broken, when from the sea eastward
of Norfolk, Va. hundreds or miles
south of the airship's projected course
was flashed the message that WellmaI
and his crew had been rescued. like

There was one time when WellmaI
almost ran down a schooner, much Il

Wellman's Knockers Routed.

This last attempt was the signal for

the way we newspaper men love each

something outside the regular lines
and the whole bunch of hammer WELD

names they had for Wellman was the
"Dr Cook of aviation" One Of the

STATEMENT MISLEADING.

H| o.
The published figures relating to the
traffic passing through the 500 canals
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1910,
while true so far as they go, are mis-
leading to the general public, and do
rot show the true condition of affairs
relating to Lake Superior traffic, ac-
cording to reports firm the 500.
The figures show a falling off in
commerce, while as a matter of fact
the year was the largest in the history
of the Canadian canal, showing an in
crease of nearly 100000 tons over
1909.
The error lies in not taking into con-
sideration the traffic brought through
the Canadian lock, which is greater
than that of the American for the year
owing to its being able to accommodate
boats of greater draught and ore
carriers loading to capacity.
The following comparison of traffic
for both canals will explain the error;

For 1917 ......... ........' 10, f9l,oi3

TRAFFIC AT 500 HEAVY.

Notwithstanding that many of the
wild boats have gone out of commits
sion during the past few weeks, it is
estimated that the freight traffic
through the 500 canals for July will
equal that of last month, which broke
all records in the history of the canals.
The reason given by the owners for
taking their boats off the Lake Super
ior trade is insufficient dockage facil-
tiles. the contract carriers having the
right of way and thereby occasioning
hours of delay to all other craft. The

THE general use Of loose fitting
3. v. D. garments is a striking
example OF the willingness OF
modern civilization to adapt itself
quickly to the best Improvements in
comfort.
Up to six years ago, men wore full
length, tight fitting garments next 10
their skin in hot weather, not because
they liked them, but because up 10 that
time all underearments were tight fit
ting. They patiently perspired, nopp-
ed their brows and muttered against
the blistering heat. As this is a pro-
sressive and improving age, il was not
long after their introduction that loose
fitting 3. v. D. garments had large
following. Thousands Of sensible men
realized that at last they had under
wear that gave them relief from Sum-
mer heat. and they forever discarded
tight fitting garments.
Since the advent Of q. v. o. gar
ments, the army Of 3. v. D. wearers
has grown larger and larger, until now
it is fact that 3. V. D. garments have
more wearers than any other trade
marked undergarmcnts for men in the
world. Every year the 3. v. D. follow
ing is increased by thousands OF men
who read Of 3. v. D. comfort in the
magazines and newspapers, or are in
fueneed by friends who delight in
Summer comforts, and determine to
give 3. v. D. garments a trial. And
one trial makes a man enthusiastic and
a life long 3. v. D. wearer. Every
man who has donned loose fitting 3.
v. D. garments adopts 3. v. D. as his
underwear, and never again wears
tight fitting garments next his skin in
hot weather. The popularity OF q. v.
D. garments proves their merit.
Tight fitting underearments, no
matter what material they are made
Of are uncomfortable in hot weather,
because they interfere with the laws
of nature; they cramp the movement
of the body, they retard the play of
the muscles, causing a certain amount
of friction which heats the body; they
prevent freedom in respiration; they
clog up the pores, preventing elimina-
tion of certain wastes Of the body,
which is essential to health.
Loose fitting 3. v. D. garments give
comfort, because they do not resist the
laws of nature, but conform with
them. 3. v. D. garments allow perfect
freedom of action to the muscles; they
permit fresh, cooling air to reach the
pores and eVaporate the perspiration.
For wear during the active hours
OF the day, for wear in the evening af-
ter the days work is done, for wear
in repose at night, there is a loose
fitting p. v. D. garment that will keep
you cool and comfortable.
