Work on the Machines.
OF all the thousands Of human beings
who attended the aviation meet and saw
Mara make his final tingllng flight OF queer
turns and quick stop, It is probable only a
handful learned how near he came TO death
or injury. When the aviator veered his
machine and swung more abruptly one side
than any eagle ever attempted he was
counting DEATH and his teammates gasped
at the sight, " tR,"ss,C
Say, that was . sharp one" murmured
Curtiss, as he looked on.

came 70 earth, and told OF his sensation.

took the turn quicker than I expected and

It was as close a shave as ever want TO

The characteristic quality Of Mars Is
that he Is always on the Job. Flying or on
mother earth he Is never dormant The avn

work on lis own magnetic or was helping

Mars by several OF the mechanics. 1t was
noticeable that the man with the astrono-

WAR BALLOONS co UP TODAY
Lieutenant Haskell viii Judge Con-
| test of Afrship from Captive.


test of Airship from Captive.
Prospects of q storm had several ef-
fects on the aviation meet yesterday,
not the least of which was the failure OF
the Fort Omaha dirigible balloon, with
Lieutenant Haskell in the basket, to make
its appearace, and for the captive signal
balloon to be sent up. Srolling upon the
field in his civilian clothes, Lieutenant
Haskell declared neither OF the govern
ment air craft would attempt an ascension,
owing to the chance of a storm springing
up.
The officer explained tnat there was
too much states in the air, and further
defined his meaning to the point that a
storm was brewing. The balloons could
60 up and be put through their PAGES, he
said, but a storm would either explode
the bags or would render worthless the
hydrogen in them. This would put them
out of commission for a week, as that
length of time would be required to re-
plenish the supply of hydrogen. 1t is the
intention OF the signal corps officer to
keep the balloons up throughout the time
of the meet after they are once inflated
The balloons will be inflated today IL the
storm fails to materialize or Will have
spent itself during the night and morn
ing.
Lieutenant Haskell will make a flight
in the diriglble from Fort Omaha to the
field. The captive balloon and the corps
in charge are stationed on the field ready
for action. 1t Is intended that a Judge
will have his place in the basket of the
captive and decide the competitive points
of the ayiators.

DIES MONIES, July 2L-CSpectal) -While
1t has been nearly six weeks since the state
primary was held and more than three
weeks since the selection of all the dele
gates to the state conventions, yet It has
been found impossible to secure any defi-
mite suggestion as to what will be the OUT
come Of the contest for the nomination for
state superintendent, This Is the only po-
sition that was left Il the state convention,
The convention has, under the law, the
duty of selecting the two candidates for
supreme judges, but Justices Deemer and
Evans will be renominated without any OPP
position. There were seven candidates for
state superintendent and the vote was
fairly evenly divided as between them.
There is no way that q factlonal alignment
can dispose fthe contest. There is no
clearly defined issue as between the candi-
dates. Some effort was made during the
primary to raise a few minor issues as be-

as between men on the question Of personal
fitness.
