In Biograph Ran Out After Reaching

chine Refused to 90 Higher.
Philadelphia, Nov. 23-J. Arm
strong Drexel broke all aeroplane
records here today when he climbed
above this city until his Bleriot mono
plane was unable to make further
progress in the rarified atmosphere.
The ink in the needle OF his biograph
ran out at 9,970 feet, which was ac-
cepted as a new worlds record to-
night by Clifford B. Harmon, chair
man OF the National Council As
sociated Aero Clubs of America, and
King Duffy, secretary OF that body.
The instrument is the same one which
Johnstone carried when he made the
former record OF 9.714 feet at Bel
mont Park on October 81. 1t was
brought to this city today under seal
by Mr.. Duffy in order that the record
made would be official.
Mr.. Drexel left the aviation field at
Point Breeze in the extreme southern
part OF this city at 1923. He landed
at Oreland, about 20 miles north of
the spot where he had started at 4:46.
In his climb he had Travelled at least
30 miles to the northward for when
he started to descend, after trying
for Is 1inutes to force the machine
higher. he glided down for distance
which he estimated tonight at about
six miles.
GOT SICK COMING DOWN.
So swiftly did the monoplane de-
scend that the aviator was nauseated.
However, he reached an open field
and brought his machine to the
ground without injury. He at once
notified the officials at the aviation
field OF his landing.
Clifford Harmon and Grahame-
White at once left for Oreland in an
automobile and brought the aviator
and the paragraph, still under seal,
to this city.
Mr.. Drexel announced tonight that
he is going to fly the machine back
to the aviation field tomorrow morn.
ing. He was greatly disappointed
when he found that the biograph
had failed to record an even 10000
feet
"The air was so light" said Mr.
Drexel, "the engine would not carry
it any further, and l was up at the
extreme altitude for more than fifteer
minutes jumping the machine in ar
effort to secure greater height" :"
DISAPPEARED FROM SIGHT OF
CHEERING CROWD.
Mr.. Drexel said that while it wa
very cold he did not suffer like he haC
, done when he made his previous rec
, ords of $3.50 feet at Lanark, Scot
land, and S,370feet at Belmont Park
because he was more warmly clad.
In less than five minutes afte

the monoplane finally disappeared
from view on the Northern horizon
the curiosity of the crowd was a
fever pitch, and for more than a
hour the one topic was Drexel. Fina

The Pouter.
,harity and Children.


A great many good people make
themselves unhappy and other peo-
pie too by pouting. They imagine
they are dreadfully imposed upon
and read into the actions of other
people all sorts of wrong motive.
They have q grievance all the time
and do not forget to tell it to every
passerby. One of the main things
the pOuter finds to pOut about is the
infrequency with which the pastor
visits them. They measure the merit
OF the pastor by the number of visits
he makes to them every year. No
matter if these good people are in
perfect health, and others about
sick and suffering, the pastor must
drop everything and pay regular
visits to them or they are mad about
it and tell it to everybody they can
corner. We do not believe it is the
duty of the pastor to humor these
whims and we do believei it is the duty
of the church to put it's disapproval
on the silly exactions these sensitive
souls demand. A lot of so-called pas
tOral visiting is a sweet delusion any
how. No grown man with right good
sense will run his legs off to listen to
the light gossip of ladies who have
TOO much leisure for their own good.
We admire the honest and industrious
housewife who said that with all her
household duties claiming her atten-
tion she didn't have time to bother
with her pastor during the week. Can
the imagination conceive of the Amos
tie Paul sitting in parlor and idling
twenty or thirty minutes away for
the sake of satisfying the vanity of a
sister and thus keep her from talking
about him? II there is any service
the pastor can render of course he
ought to go, and if he is what he
| ought to be he will go, but we are
not talking about that. We are re
ferring to that other class of visits
that mean not thing in the round
world but few minutes of socia
chat, which too often refers to per
sons rather than to things. and ther
to take his hat in his hand and bow
himself out of the front door. W.
are very sorry for the preacher who
has much Of this kind of work to do
and the less of it he does the better
for him and the person upon whom
| he calls.

COURT REPLACES
DEPOSED TEACHER
Principal Bush Obtains Tempo
rary Order Lifting Boards
Suspension
Head of Polytechnic High School
Seeks Permanent Writ of
Prohibition

Walter n. Bush, suspended principal
of the Polytechnic high school, OBJ
tained from the superior court yester
day a temporary order restraining the
high school education board from en-
forcing the resolution of suspension
pending a hearing next Tuesday morn
ing on the question of the validity of
the boards action. The order was
signed by acting presiding Judge Con-
ley, and it has the effect of preserving
Principal Bush in control of the Poly
technic high school at least until Tues
day. when it is returnable before Judge
Hunt. The complaint in the case,
which was prepared by Attorneys Cos
tello & Costello, prays that the board
be permanently prohibited from put
ting into effect the suspension
Bush was served with a copy of what
he terms the alleged complaints on
June 81. 1910, by Melvin l. Dodge.
clerk of the board. The following day
the board passed a resolution ordering
the principal suspended pending trial
of the charges. Principal Bush asserts
that the board has no power or author
ity to adopt such resolution and that
its action was wholly in excess oil It's
jurisdiction and is null and void
The charges against Bush accuse him
of incompetency. 1t is asserted, among
other things, that he failed to record
the time of the arrival of teachers at
the school; that he made false reports
as to the attendance of hfmseIr and
other teachers; that he failed to file a
report with the board of education each
month, and that he failed to maintain
a proper standard of proficiency at the
school.
These charges are all mere gener-
alities," said Attorney stephen Costello,
and later / will attack them on that
ground. The law requires that the
charges against school teacher must
be definite and specific, the same as in
an indictment. Besides that, Judge
Hunt ruled 10 years ago that school
teacher may not be suspended pending
the trial of charges, and that ruling
was confirmed by the supreme court.

Custody of 10 Little Ones Is
Awarded to Organization
by Court

The 13 cases which the. Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty 70 Children
was interested in were brought before
the Juvenile court Friday. Sixteen chill
dren of the number involved were
turned over to the society and of fShese
nine were sent to the St Vincent de
Paul society, one to the infant shelter,
one TO the home for feeble minded. one
to Mount st. Joseph orphan asylum
and five to the care of the probation
officers. Five children were returned
to the parents on their promise to re-
form and care properly for them. Sew
eral cases in which seven children fig
ured were postponed.
The society has taken charge of the
case of a little waif, which, being
nameIess, has been christened Baby
May. 1t appears that the child was
born in February of last year and the
following month a young woman rep
resenting herself as its mother turned
the child over to the infant shelter
with the statement that the father, a
plumber. had been burned to death by
acid In Los Angeles. She said that she
was unable to give it the care it should
have, but would pay the shelter a
stated amount monthly to bring it up
The child was taken in and from that
time to Friday the woman never called
a the shelter. nor has any money ever
been received. The society, through its
secretary, made application to the su-
perior court to have Baby May declared
an abandoned child and to permit the
officers of the shelter to turn it over
TO some suitable person who may wish
to adopt it. Such an order was made.
The society also took charge of an
other babe taken from a drunken cou-
pie in Mariposa street, who claim to
be the parents. The babe. less than
six months old, was discovered without
clothes and very much emaciated for
want of nourishment. Tt was turned
over TO the st. Vincent de Paul society,
where ii will be cared for until an
order of court disposes of it.

Bingham frocks for youngsters are
much in vogue, the brightest combina-
ton of coloring In the weave and the
staunch wearing quality of the material
adapting them especially to childish
wardrobes.
The Russian blouse effect is seen in
most of these; the plain material gen.
orally used as trimming is run up the
side as well as around the neck; and
sometimes around the pleated skirt.
The wide leather belt is worn with
these colored frocks. as well as with
those of thinner material for less
strenuous wear.
Pique is much in favor for children.

variations heretofore undreamed of.
Frocks of this material. made with
one-piece yoke and sleeves. the square
neck outlined with handmade scallops
and the little dress cut on the plainest
lines by means of a circular.gored pat
tern. outgrow their popularity for the
mothers who consider the simple and
tie practical as necessities in the
childish outfit.

ONE OF ADAMS TROUBLES
Incident In the Garden Of Eden That
Must BE Taken for What
II Is Worth.

Rev. DR.. Charles Townsend of
Orange was one of the speakers at the
Park Presbyterian Church Mems club
banquet last week, and told this story
of one Of the troubles of the original
ancestor:
Adam had eaten the elaborate re-
past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished each
morsel. He complimented her upon
the dainty manner in which the blue
points were served. the flavor of the
PURGE of pea, the seasoning of the fish
and entree, and finally reached de-
licious salad. Adam paused, and with
worried look on his face he de-
manded of Eve where she found the
ingredients. She enumerated all ex-
cept the lettuce.
"'Where did you get those leaves?'
he demanded.
"'Why, they were lying on a bush
in the back yard she replied, sweetly.
"'Well, those were my best Sunday
trousers sobbed Adam, adding, 'Ah,
woe is man.. which was corrupted into
woman the term by which we know
Ewes daughters. '-Newark Star.

BABY's SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally I got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and l am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to see II 1t would return
but It never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,
