The Wright Brothers.

Nothing except perhaps the Expo
sition itself, is being more discussed
in Cedar Rapids and eastern Iowa to-
day than the Wright biplane in which
wonderful flights will be made daily
October to z at the Eastern Iowa
Exposition, Cedar Rapids.
Dimensions and specifications Of
the biplane are contained in the box
below. They give in condensed form
the principal facts about the Wright
biplane. The weight of the machine
is formed by the four-cylinder en-
CINE, which is water-cooled. Instead
of having the gas generated by the
carbureter, the biplane engine uses
gas made by mixing air and gasoline
through the medium Of pump
driven by the engine itself. The two
propellors, located in the rear of the
planes, revolve in directions opposite
to each other, this system of revolu-
ton maintaining an equilibrium and
stability that is especially valuable
when the aeroplane is turning corn
ers.
All meta! work in the biplane is Of
specially made steel. The wood is
spruce, bound in canvass and then
covered with aluminium paint. The
detailed description of the machine
follows:
Length 2S1a feet, footboard to rud-
der.
Widths feet from tip to tip of
planes.
Canvas surface-440 feet.
| Weight of biplane 800 pounds.
I Horsepower Thirty.
Plane material-Light canvas.
Braces-Steel
Propellors-Eight feet inches
long.
Revolutions-45o per minute.
Speeds miles per hour.
| Wood -Spruce, covered with canvas
and paint.

How to Drive Away Wrinkles
and Double Chin.
(Standard American STYLES

-
The clever woman of TODAY does
not sit down and fold her hands
and resign herself to a wrinkled
face, couble chin, crows feet and
enlarged pores. Nor does she try
the numerous and varied cold
creams and lotions on the market
which claim to annihilate wrinkles
and sagginess.
What she does do-this clever
woman-is to get of her druggist
an ounce and half of thermod-
lied jelly, rubbing half teaspoon
full into her skin until it is perfect
ly absorbed, and then bathing her
face with cold water. This rem
edy is as simple as it is effective.
It gives nourishment and heat en-
ergy to the worn-out tissues. The
skin Immediately feels taut and re.
freshed-the flesh firm and COM
pact.
One application works a marked
improvement in her looks and
every day her mirror tells her she
is growing younger and prettier.
For filing out hollowness in
the neck, shoulders and arms,
nothing is so effective as thermod.
lied jelly.

Arranging Presidents Junket Kept
Officials of More Than a Score

for Days.
DIsL1KEs SUNDAY TRIP
Executive Likes to Make 1t Day Of
Rest and Does Not Care to Travel
or Make Speeches on
That Day.

When President Taft goes travelling,
especially on such a long trip as the
one he began at Boston the first Of
this month and to continue until Nov.
!, 1t requires great deal of planning
and fine work on the part of his pri-
vate secretaries, the secret service
agents, who are charged with the re.
sponsibility of the presidents safety.
and on the part of the railroad offic-
ials of the country.
The president will be forty-seven or
forty-eight days on his present trip
and every minute of every day of the
time he is away has been provided
for; the officials of the twenty-six
different railroad systems over which
he will travel have co-operated with
each other; the schedule which has
been made up shows just what hour
or fraction of an hour at which the
president is to arrive at and depart
from the different cities and towns In
cluded in his itinerary.
OF course the president has the
last say as to what places he will
visit, but his private secretary, Mr.
Hilles, has a good deal of voice in
the matter, the assistant secretaries
have something and the secret serv.
ice men are sometimes able to offer
suggestions. Months ago when Pres.
ident Taft told some of the western
people who were presenting him invi.
tations to visit their states that he
would probably make western trip
this fall and that he very much wish.
ed to do so, his mail began to be
flooded with invitations from all sorts
of organized bodies and individuals
who wanted him to accept of their
hospitality.
Works Out Itinerary.
1t wasn't until the president was on
his way to Beverly from Rochester, N.
Y, where he had attended the encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, that he and his secretarial
force had worked the list of invita-
tions down to something like the lin
its of possibility, but still not low
enough to make it practicable to get
Them all in the program. On his way
from Albany to Boston the president
had the passenger agent OF the Boston
& Albany, who was accompanying
the train, invited down to Beverly to
go over the matter with Assistant Pri-
vate Secretaries Smithers and Ru-
dolph Foster.
City Passenger Agent C. E. Colony
of the Boston G. Albany went to Bev-
erly and after two days and half Of
conferences with the private secretar-
les was given tentative itinerary
for the trip, all done in tvpewriting,
but subject to change.
The proposed itinerary had to be
submitted to A. S. Hanson, general
passenger agent of the Boston & AL
bany, because it is customary for the

The dam horror OF Saturday after
noon at Austin, Pa. was of more than
ordinary interest to Keokuk people on
account Of the bursted dam being one
Of concrete and the fact that there is
being built here across the river. a
great concrete dam. However, Keo.
kuk may never expect such a calamity
for number of reasons. The contour
Of the country here excludes any pos
sible great loss of life in case the
Keoluk dam should break. The Keo-
kuk dam is an entirely different pro-
ject and is SO built that 1t can control
the flow Of water therefore never
being in danger of bursting, SO the
destruction of the Keokuk dam is an
unthought of proposition.

story of the flood.
impossible Here,
Engineer Hugh Cooper, of the Mis-
sissippi River Power Company, in
charge of the construction of the big
dam to span the Mississippi river at
heokuk. In an interview last even
ing severely condemned those In
charge of the construction of the dam
at Austin, Pa, which went out Satur-
day afternoon with such terrible re-
suits. He said that no comparison
could be made between the Austin
dam and the big structure that is to
span the Mississippi river at Keokuk.
mr. Cooper stated that no provision
mad been made for a foundation in the
building OF the Austin dam, the con.
crete work being set on the bed of
the stream instead of going down to
solid rock. 1t was great mistake in
engineering, and Mr.. Cooper was of
the opinion that the owners of the
pulp mill. the company building the
dam, had not called in any engineer
Ing skill to design the structure.
There had been long dry spell
IN that section Of Pennsylvania and
the dam had never been tested. When
the pressure came 1t tore out the work
that is the whole story
Mr.. Cooper stated "as matter of
TACT, this Austin dam was condemned
q year ago."
1T would be utterly impossible for
disaster like this to occur with the
keokuk dam. We have gone down
ninety feet with the foundations, and
there is solid rock for sevral hundred
feet below that. The difference be-
tween the Austin dam and our dam is
that the people in the east built upon
sand, and we are building upon solid
rock. The Austin disaster could have
eeen avoided If engineering skill had
peen brought to bear upon the con-
struction Of the dam. 1t was plain
criminal negligence, and It will occur
every time when the proper methods
are not used.'
AT Keokuk we are building the dam

tinued we also have 119 gates to
relieve the pressure, when necessary.

to see if they could handle the bust.

by the president, and representatives
of all the roads conferred with Mr.

began to be more simplified.

each railroad company was required
to guarantee to keep its train as

no circumstances to run 1t ahead of

but they may miss him If the train Is
