Bud Mars Makes Fight For Life
 With Wife Nurse
Noted Birdman Will Proba- bly, Recover from Acci- dent, According to Doc tors in Attendance.
(speciaI from united Press,

Erie, Pa, July 15-James c. (''Bud") Mars, the first aeroplanist to circle the globe, who was hurt when he lost control of his machine in an ''air anole'' here, yesterday. will probably recover. At the hospital, it was stat ed, today, by the doctors attending that the slight concussion of the brain was wearing off nicely and that the internal injuries were apparently very slight.
 Mars breast bone was broken and his skull slightly fractured. That he was not instantly killed is due to the big headpiece he was wearing.
 Words of praise for Mars are heard on all sides Although he lost con- trol of his aeroplane in a spot of thin air, he took time from his fight for life to wave his hand to the crowds below, reassuring many and prevent ing serious panic. Mrs. Mars wit messed the accident and was the first to reach the aviator after the crash. She accompanied him to the hospital and will nurse him back to health
 Mars recovered consciousness in the hospital, today. He said that he did not lose control of his machine and confirmed the belief that the accident was due to an air pocket
 T had gone around the field once" he told Mrs. Mars, when I began to drop. I tried to climb but could not get up again. Then saw the street cars in front of me and the canvas tent and steered for the tent as I knew I had to fall anway'

Mysterious Side to Case of Local
 Man in Wreck

New Haven. July 15.-Whether Jo- seph B Sisson of % Rowe street, New Haven, is one of the most seriously injured victims of the Federal ex- press wreck at Bridgeport or not is a question which has it's mysterious side here At the Bridgeport hospi- tai there is a seriously injured man who gives that name and repeated inquiry has given most complete evidence that he is Joseph B. Sisson of New Haven.
 When The Register man broke the news to relatives at 25 Rowe street, however, Tuesday it was received with a shock and upon request pho- tograph was turned over for publica- tion.
 Just as the paper was going to press in came a young man who an- nounced that he was none other than Joseph B. Sisson. s'I've been in no wreck" he declared. why I just came in on a freight and was surpris- ed when they told me at home that I had been listed among the injured. For goodness sake don't run that pie ture of mes
 "Well, if you're Sisson who is the man in the Bridgeport hospftal?'' was the natural question.
 Search me-" was the reply. Then the visitor disappeared. Inquiry brought the news that the injured man in Bridgeport still insisted that he was Joseph B. Sisson.
 Yesterday he was still named in the Associated Press from Bridgeport.

BULL CHARGES TENT Head Master of Hopkins School Has Thrilling Experience

Canaan, July 15-Dr. Arthur Wood ford, headmaster of Hopkins school in New Haven, came near being the receiving end of a mad charge of a bull here yesterday. A quick duck was all that saved him from injury at his camp at Lake Washinee, one of the Twin Lakes.
 With his two sons, the headmaster is in camp and his tent has been draped with the colors of his school, bright red. A stray bull wandered near, saw the flag, got his dander up and started in to anihilate the hate ful gaud. With lowered head and many a snort he charged the enemy. He hit the flag and likewise the tent. Dr. Woodward was inside at the time. He hastily peered out just as Taurus had backed away for a second rush. The doctor ducked and shooed at the animal.
 Something, perhaps the surprise of seeing the instructor, stopped the bull long enough for the teacher to grab the crimson insignia and get out of sight. The enemy gone the bull was modified and trotted off content to have routed the hateful rag The professor breathed a sigh of relief and packed the flag away as a dis cretionary measure.
 The total of damage was ripped tent, tattered banner and broken crockery.

Park Board Wants Boulevard For
 FayerWeather

Another step forward was tnaken al the meeting of the Park Commission CTS last evening to make Fayerweath- CTS Island a part of a greater Sea- side Park. President George M. Flames and Commissioner DeVer H. Warner were appointed a special committee tC make an inquiry into the cost of con- structing a substantial boulevard tC connect the island with the park, to secure plans and outlines for such a construction and other information bearing on this matter, and repor, at later meeting. There is now nc money available, but the commission will next year ask for a special ap- propriation. The board has not stat ed how they hoped to secure the funds, but it is expected that it will be through bond issue.
 The commission will not tolerate camping parties, or "squatters'' at the island this summer There are some campers at present on the land, but under private arrangemnt with the former owner Marshall E. Morris, who has 60 days in which to move his buildings from the island.
 The establishment of a caretaker at Lafayette park has completely chang ed the adverse sentiment against those playgrounds. The commission are in receipt of a number of communica- tiOns from residents of that locality expressing the wish that others might be established in different parts of the city. When a caretaker was not at the grounds the children used the apparatus from early morn till late at night, causing a nuisance. Now the grounds can be used at only certain hours and seem to be better appre- ciated.
 Commissioner Seeley stated that an ornamental fence pronounced absolute ly unclimable would be built around Yellow Mill park. Yellow Mill park is bounded on one side by Stratford avenue and on another by Connec- ticut avenue, two extensively travell- ed streets, many complaints being re- ceived that the children run out from the park upon the roadway The erection of the fence being a neces- sity.

AFFECTS MANY PLACES Health Boards Soda Water Campaign Far-Reaching in Elm City

New Haven July 15-The opinion has prevailed that the campaign just started by the health board against the use of impure syrups at soda foun- tainS would affect only the cheap places, but according to statement by a prominent member of the board yesterday this is not the case. Aside from the desire to see that the places where the soda is made and manu- factured are sanitary, it is the idea vent the use of sacharine for sweet ening and coal tar for coloring, and these are used not only by the little dealers but by many of the big stores although possibly in not as large amounts, it is said
 The coal tar coloring is used be- cause many of the fruit syrups when pure have an uninviting color and unlike that of the fresh fruit Prac- tically all of the coloring matters us ed are compounds of coal tar The use of this is quite prevalent, it is claim ed.
 The use of saccharine for sweet ening is nothing but a money, saving idea. It may be purchased for about SIPS pound and is infinitely sweet CT than sugar. It takes only from 3 to ounces to sweeten forty gal Ions of water
 The question of whether any op- position to the barring of the use of these two ingredients will be shown by the big dealers at the public hear ing Monday night is a matter of speculation

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

Mrs. Lucius G.: The proportions of the lotion you ask about are as follows: Into half-pint bottle put one and one-half ounces of cucumber juice, one ounce of eau de cologne and enough elder-fower water to half fill the bottle, shaking the mixture till well blended. Then add slowly one-ha1f ounce simple tincture of ben zoin and finally fill the bottle with elder-fower water. Apply with a soft sponge night and morning.
 Burdened: Suggesting a dietary to reduce the flesh is hardly possi- ble, because what will cause the rapid formation of fat cells in one system, will have different effect in another one. Why not use remedy which will gradually reduce the flesh with out the necessity of such strict rules in regard to eating? Your experi- ence IS the same as many others have described-the dieting weakens the system and has very little effect on the superf1uous pounds of flesh. Write me more fully about yourself, and will advise you to the best of my abil- ity:
 Interested: Try the regular hour a day devoted to absolute rest and re- taxation, and do not let anything in- terfere with it. You will accomplish more and better work if you will es- tablish this custom. Stimulants will never answer your needs, because there is always reaction which leaves you below the normal condi- tion and then your system must be toned up for its regular duties again. I am sure you will find my sugges- ton helpful if you will but try it.
