Aviator Dives
 Into Orchard
Hadley's Sunday Flight at Cheshire Marred by Fall
 Due to MiscalculatiOn

c. O. Hadley, the aviator who has made many flights all over the coun- try and who came to Cheshire to test the homemade aeroplane perfected by four Waterbury young men. mis- calculated his distance in flight at the aviation field there yesterday af- ternoon at Walter ScOtt's Casino grounds, and in trying to gain more power to fly higher dove into the Wentworth apple orchard, damaging the end of the wings of the plane and injuring the aviator somewhat. Z
 After working his way out of the tree tops Hadley attempted to glide to earth. The impact of the machine with the ground threw him face fore ward from his seat when he was about three freet from the ground His hands were slightly scratched and his lips somewhat bruised. MT. Scott sent one of his farm wagons to the Kenil- worth field, and to avoid the crowd which was present MT. Hadley got in- to it and drove to Scott's Casino.
 The report spread that the aviator had fallen from a dizzy height and had been badly hurt, all of which proved to be without foundation, for he was soon around the place, telling everyone how it all happened, and how blameless the machine was for the accident. The ends of the wings were S1GnIly DrOk0n where they nlC the tree tops, but aside from that the biplane is intact, the motor was in perfect condition, and gave out at no moment of the flight. With a few repairs MT. Hadley will be able to make another flight Tuesday morning.
 This is the second time MT. Hadley has experimented with the machine, which is built on the lines of the Cur tiss biplane, and he ascribes the acci- dent to his unfamiliarity with the mechanism of the machine and the hilly character of the country about Cheshire which deceives a flyer when he is calculating the distance.
 ever used,'' said MT. Hadley yester- day in talking with a New Haven Courier representative "I have not single flaw to find in it. The trouble is I simply miscalculated my distance. I went up about a quarter of a mile and then wishing to climb little higher, I put on more speed, dove down and started to climb, reckoning without my trees, and in consequence I ran into them. If I had gone three or four feet higher I would have been all right, and would have had a chance to climb without landing in the tree. As it was the tail of the machine hit and broke its fall. Then I had to glide to the earth. The force of the planes contact with the ground threw me out a distance of three feet, bang ing me up little."
 Over 1000 people witnessed the flight at Scott's Wentworth farm The first flight made Friday, was success full.

Judging from Yales showing against the weak Colgate eleven last Saturday, the Eli football squad will not have an easy time with Prince ton and Harvard this season. The New Haven team defeated Colgate by 23 to 0, but Princeton trounced the same crowd by 31 to earlier in the season so football sharps do not re- gard Yale's work as anything very impressive.
 At this stage of the season the Ell eleven's showing was certainly disap- pointing. The line from tackle to tac- kle did good work but the ends and backs were weak. Francis, who was being tried at end was particularly bad and the light Colgate backs got by him for a number of good gains.
 Several Yale coaches were quoted as saying that the eleven is very crude for the middle of the season. They pointed out after Saturdays contest that further drilling in Fundamentals is still needed. Just for one thing" declared a coach, ''the fumbling must

 So far as playing is concerned the team did not make a great success. They lost six games, won three and tied one. Freddy Gibbs pitched an Il inning game against the strong Almendares team which ended in a tie, to 0. The players told Gibbs 1t was the best game he ever pitched.

The State Trade School of this city gave the New Britain Trade School a little trimming, Saturday afternoon, at Seaside Park, with the score Is to 0. Bakus, McNearny and Booth are some fast backfield, and if the line was a little stronger it would have the fast est little team in the State. Captain Bakus plays on Saturday with the Trade School and on Sunday with the Lakeviews. He is a very fast boy and he is known as the pride of his playmates. The first touchdown was made by Booth in four minutes, and the goal was kicked by Bakus. In the second period Bakus got touch down in eight minutes of playing and also kicked the goal, making it 12 to 0. McNearny came back strong in the third period and made a touch down with Capt.

The Thunderbolts with scrub team went to the islaIfd yesterday to meet the fast Columbia A. c. and defeated them with ease even if the Thunder bolts had oIly four regular players in the lineup. There line was weak but, it managed to hold the fast Col umbias down. The Columbias made first down two or three times during the game. and the Thunderbolts had the ball three quarters of the game. McNabb, Hamilton and Fuzzy Walk CT were the stars of the Clumbias in defense while Mercer their full back did some great digging around the Thunderbolts. Eddie Finn who has come back in great style played his very best, with Moshier and Murray the same. There was small crowd to witness the game as the Lenox and the Arrows who were, to play the pre- liminary to the big game, but arrange ment with Tad Dunigan could not go over without paying their little Two Bits" Both teams stood outside of the gate and turned about one hun- dred away from the game.

Army Filters Anxious
To Break Camp to Get
Into Winter Quarters

Although 1t is three weeks until the
army fiiers break camp at College Park,
Nd, and journey to a warmer climate
in the South, the officers and enlisted
men are impatient to go. and will well
come the day when they may leave. Not
that they care so much about leaving
College Rt rk. but they want to get set
tied for the winter.
Gen. James Allen, head of the Signal
Corps, expects the addition OF two Of
hcers to the army school soon. II he
gets these men, station will be estab-
llshed at San Diego. Cal. The men who
probably will go there will be Capt.
Paul Beck and Lieut.. Frank Kennedy.
Lieutenant Arnold. Lieutenant Mill
ing, Lieutenant Kirkland, and Captain
Chandler, and possibly any additional
officers who will join the school prob
ably will go to South Carolina for the
winter.
Important experiments will be carried
on this winter by the army fiiers, such
as dropping bombs, making long cross
country trips. drawing maps. and de-
livering mail from the city they are
in to surrounding towns.
An inspector may be sent South soon
to visit the cities that want the winter
headquarters. Three towns have been
mentioned for the quarters-Greenville,

Experiments in
Dropping Bombs
Please Army Men

So successful have been the expert
ments in dropping bombs at College
Park, the army officers see an even
brighter future for the aeroplane in
case of war than ever before. Three
experiments in dropping bombs have
been attempted at College Park, and.
although on each occasion the target
was missed, the aim was good enough
to have done great damage had the
bombs been real explosives.
1t is figured out that with practice
great accuracy may be had, and once
the army men get to the point where
they can hit the object aimed at, the
aeroplane will become a powerful fac
tor in war.
Last evening another experiment was
conducted at College Park. Lieutenant
Milling, as pilot, carried up Sergeant
Izdorek, who dropped two bombs at an
altitude of 500 feet. The target, which
was a small sheet of white cloth, was
missed but forty feet. 1t is figured
that even at this distance a real ex-
plosive would do great harm.
The army men are greatly encouraged
over the success of the experiments.

DON'T PULL OUT THE GRAY HAIRS:
A SIMPLE REMEDY RESTORES COLOR

should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepara-
tons to use Is the old-fashioned sage
tea which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded or
gray hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.
