ried Her to HOSPITAL,

Elsa Leslie Ransom. an eleven-month-
old child. whose efforts to swallow the
cork of medicine bottle yesterday came
near to choking her to death, probably
owes her life to Hayner Gordon's swift
automobile. Hayner Gordon is the son of
Rev. Thomas Gordon of the Mount Pleas
ant Congregational Church. He was driv-
ing his machine down 14th street yester-
day when he saw woman frantically
waving at him. She had baby in her
arms:
Take ME to hospital quick" she
called to him. my baby is choking to
DEATH
She climbed in the automobile and Mr.
Gordon sped for Garfield Hospital. In the
operating room a physician soon located
the cork in Elsa'S throat, and extrated it
in time to save the child from suffoca-
ton. Meantime, Mr.. Gordon had disap-
peared and it was not until last night
that the mother of the child knew who
il was that had come to her aid.

NEWS OF ROCKVILLE
AND THE COUNTY
Robert G. Hilton Probable
Candidate for State Treas
urer-Court Cases.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November Is, 1911.
There is understood to be a strong
probability that Robert G.. Hilton. presi-
dent of the Farmers Banking and Trust
Company of Rockville who has long been
4 power in the democratic politics of the
county. will seek election by the legisla-
ture which meets early in January as
state treasurer, to succeed Gen. Murray
Vandiver. who has held the position
many years. While Mr.. Hilton has made
no formal announcement of his candidacy,
it is known that he has made no effort to
discourage the movement started in his
behalf. and his friends here consider him
in the field.
Mr.. Hilton is warm personal and
political friend of State Senator Blair Lee
and would, of course, receive Senator
Lees earnest support, which is inter
preted here as meaning that he would
also be backed by Gov. Crothers and
probably by Representative Fred Talbot.
With such a combination behind him it
is believed he would stand an excellent
chance of landing the job Before being
placed at the head of the banking In
stitution here. Mr.. Hilton was for num-
Der of years county treasurer, making a
splendid official.

AEROPLANES LIGHTED
BY AUTOMOBILE LAMPS
Flights Made After NightfaII to
Test Efficacy of H.
Elimination.

Flights were made after nightfall last
evening by the army aeroplanes at Col
lege Park. the machines carrying acety-
lene searchlights, like automobiles use,
to see what the effect of the illumination
was. The lights were ordinary automo-
bile lamps adapted to the new use. 1t
was found that they lighted the ground
so that the aviators could make out de-
tails from a height Of 200 feet. The lights
could be switched on and off easily. When
the machines were not lighted they were
quite invisible from the ground and their
whereabouts could be guessed only from
the noise Of the motors
Need Of a Mufler.
This emphasizes the need of muller
that will quiet the engine. None has yet
been tried on an aeroplane and the Of
fcers are anxious to see whether one
can be made that will silence the motor
without making it heat or lose too much
power.
The experiments with the lights We're
the first tried in this country, but the
same thing was done at Rheims in 1910.
1t was found then that the searchltght
Illuminated the ground satisfactorily from
a height of 200 feet. but that above that
II was Impossible 10 make out teTfeStFldi
details, though the earth was visible by
the light up to 400 feet. The lamp, how
ever, served no useful purpose and would
merely have revealed the location of the
machine to marksmen
Test of Ground Searchlights.
One of the military experiments tina,
the aviators want to try as soon as the
machines are located at their winter
camp in the south Is whether or not
searchlights on the ground can pick up
an aeroplane and hold it as a battle
ship searchlight picks up a torpedo boat
This has never been tried and will add
an interesting fact to the details of the
aeroplane's military adaptbility.
If the weather conditions are favorable
there will be flights by the army aero.
planes at College Park this afternoon
This probably will be the last OF the loca
militry flights for the season. as the
department expects to have the aero
planes packed up and to have them anc
the aviators shipped to the winter camI
at Augusta, Ga. November 81.
