Winner of Worlds Altitude Record
Had Little Experience in Flying.

Chicago, Aug 19.-The smashing of
the worlds altitude record by Oscar A.
Brindley yesterday was an interna-
tionaI surprise that today caused a set
back among the experts who hitherto
have considered their knowledge the
last word both as 10 aer0plzLes and
aViators.
without detracting from Brindley's
credit nor questioning the accuracy OF
his record, other avlat0rs told of the
circumstances in which he was flying
at the international meet here. Brind-
ley's license was obtained at Dayton,
Ohio. only few weeks ago and. while
he was considered fair flyer, he was
not thought by the Wrishts to have
sufficient experience to fly here. His
name was suggested to Chairman Nc
Gam of the entries committee, how
ever, and again was turned down.
Brindley, however, obtained the
sympathetic ear of Louis Mitchell of
Memphis, who lately had bought a
Wright machine, one of the passenger
type, bearing the same resemblance to
the fast high flying machines of. the
meet as a family carriage horse might
to a fast trOtter
Take my machine and fly" said
Mitchell. I'll get you in al right"
So Brindley came.
Brindley started yesterday for the
first time with a Paragraph attached.

Captain Culver showed me how it
would look after it had passed the
1000 mark. I just stayed up till it

Neither Parmelee nor WEIGH came
within 1000 feet of Brindley's height.
Indications were good for flying to-

CAR LOAD RATE ON NTENTHon
That Is What a Wichita Firm
Asks For.

Few people who buy the little ten cent
tubes of mentholatum at the drug stores
realize that a Kansas manufac turine- con-
Germ make this medicinal salve in such
quantities as to demand a rate on car
load lots to Kansas City. But such is the
case. n Wichita lawyer writes to the
utilities commission to ask for carload
rate from Wichita TO Kansas City on this
face salve- He declares that the firm in
question make enough of this mentho-
latum for shipment to warrant special
rate on car shipments.
At present the rate from Wichita to
Kansas City is 66 cents per hundred
pounds or s19S per car This is too high
rate to enable the company in question
to compete with other concerns enjoying
a better rate to wholesale markets.
1t would seem that one carload of men
thOlatum ought to Salve all the human
faces in western America for year.
But here is one Kansas concern claiming
to ship enough of the stuff by the car to
warrant a carload rate.

tors closed many hotels because of failure
to comply with the fire escape and sani-
tary regulations.

Much Complaint About the Lack of

The utilities commission has received
complain from scores of Kansas towns
about the failure of railroad companies
to provide telephones in their depots.
The commission has had more trouble
over this dereliction on the part of the
railroads than anything else. The COM
mission has power to compel the roads
to furnish service to the depots so that
the general public can be informed in re-
gard to train service and freight ship
ments without having to walk to the de-
pot In most towns the depot Is many
blocks from the business section.
