 his machine caught fire Captain Pfincetau, it was seen by his fellow officers, was struggling to undo a strap that was holding him firmly in his SC t so as to be free to jump as he gIided toward earth. Before he could loosen the belt, however, the motor of his machine exploded and flaming banzine gushed over him.
 Body FearfuIIy Burned.

 Sixteen Styles of Machines Used.
 Sixteen different styles of mono planes and biplanes were used. The troops and police, before and during the starting of the contesta nts, had much trouble in keeping the unruly pushing crowds from storming the en- closures. They did invade the field at several places once almost occupying the starting reservation.
 Cavalry Horses TrampIe on Mob. Mounted troops however. slowly forced the people back and 200 persons were more or less injured. chiefly by being trampled by the horses of the cavalry and by the feet of the mob when they lost their footing and fell.

A Tecent reli- able report shows that the cost of that evil is five thousand won1en's lives a year in a single city. with bitterness and shame tp thousands more of heart broken fathers and mothers. brothers and sisters of both the five thousand girls who die each year and the many more who live'on in disgrace and desra dat ton. That fact calls on every man who has a particle of honor or chivalry to refuse to be a. partner in such wholesale human murder.v
