AVIATORS AGAIN
POSTPONE FLIGHT
Wind Makes Cross-c0untry
Trip Impossible.

Internal dissensions in the engine Of
the Burgess-W Wright aeroplane and a
thirty-mile wind formed a combination
that again caused a postponement of the
cross-country flight from the army
school at College Park to the Chevy
Chase golf links. Lieut.. Milling, with
Lieut.. Kirkland, essayed the flight, but
was forced to descend after circling the
field at a height of 1000 feet. The flight
will be made to-day if conditions are
favorable.
There were but few ascensions at the
park yesterday, the high wind making
safe flights almost an impossibilfty.
Paul Peck, in his Rex Smith machine,
attempted to fly, but after running the
engine of the aeroplane for some min
utes, decided to postpone his flight until
this afternoon.
The TarboX-Curtiss model aeroplane
which is being assembled will be ready
for a fight within a, few days, when
Mr.. Tarbox will demonstrate an at
tachment of his invention for insuring

HEY! HAY FEVER'S
HEY-DAY is HERE
Sneezing Society in Full
Blast Right Now.
CAPITAL Is HAPPILY FREE

While tens of thousands Of victims in
all sections of the United States and
Canada are clutched in its sneezing en-
brace, hay fever, the disease whose in
sigma is "kerchoo," and about which
doctors say I'VE know not whence
it came nor whittier it goes" has touched
the Capital City but lightly. There are
fewer cases in Washington this year
than ever has been recorded before, say
physicians.
According to the hospital authorities
and doctors in different parts Of the
city, hardly so per cent of the average
cases are on record, due to an unfathom-
able circumstance. The medical men say
plainly that they have learned practi-
cally nothing of the malady, although
II has been known and dreaded for gen.
erations
Hay fever is not communicable from
one person to another and II does not
always make its appearance in August,
as the popular notion would lead one to
believe. cases have been known to oc-
cur as early as May, but the majority
Of sufferers caa depend on the middle of
August for their agony to descend on
them.
Climate Here Combatant.
DR.. Thomas Smith, of 40 Second street
northwest, who has made an exhaustive
study of the disease, believes that WASH
ington climate is an ideal place to es-
cape hay fever. He says that certain Sec
tions in the North have as many as half
the population sneezing at one time, and
that the resulting noise is something ter
rife.
Hay fever Is peculiar" said DR.. Smith.
Il know of a man who suffers from dys-
pepsia a big portion Of the year, until
hay fever time. AS soon as he gets to
sneezing good his appetite comes back
and he can eat and digest anything.
The only trouble is that he goes to some
resort to get temporary relief and when
he does his stomach trouble returns. The
poor fellow is just like hundreds of 9TH
ers, buffeted from pillar to post by the
annoying disease"
DR.. Willis Harding, another hay fever
specialist, told some strange facts about
the capricious disease.
No matter how beneficial a resort may
be to one patient" said DIR. Harding, 'if
a native of the place contracts the mall
ady he must leave for other parts. Hay
fever respects neither the high nor the
lowly, cline or time, and the only way to
ayoid 1t, If a person is predisposed to the
disease, is to die young"
