AMERICAN AEROPLANES
SURPASS THE FOREIGN
Lieut.. J. c. Walker Reports on
the Recent Tests on SeIfridqe
Field, in California.

American aeroplanes seem to have the
better of European machines as heavy
weather craft This was the conclusion
drawn from the flights held at Selfridge
Field, in California. recently by Lieut.
John c. Walker. U. S. A., who was de-
tailed to watch the performances and
afterward was sent to the Curtiss camp
at San Diego for aviation training.
OF course, this was not exactly the
way the case was stated by Lieut..
Walker. such a statement being capable
Of Interpretation by foreign powers as
an unfriendly remark. and that is one
of the things this government is very
careful about. The statement was that
the biplanes were unquestionably more
steady than tho monoplanes in winds. AS
all the foreign machines are monoplanes
and all the American machines biplanes,
the statement comes to about the same
thing.
Glenn Curtiss and the Wright brothers
are the two representative aeroplane man.
ufacturers who took part in the flights
Hubert Latham's Skill.
The foreign machines were represented
by the Bleriot and the Antoinette The
latter is a machine with big single-sur-
face wings. and theoretically should be
the worst Of the whole lot, but Hubert
Latham, the one Antoinette operator
who has been in this country for months,
does wonderful things with the big ma
chine. He flies In winds that will keep
almost any other machine on the ground.
But for lack Of a standard OF COMPARE
son 1t Is impossible to say Just how
much Of the success Is to be credited to
Latham and how much to the machine.
Lieut.. Walker said that, aside from La
than, the most interesting Of the foreign
machines was the Bleriot handled by
worlds official speed record. though
Charles K. Hamilton has made faster
time in unofficial trial. Radleys machine
was fast over the California field, but it
was not steady, and the biplanes carried

Kenmare, N. D.. July 29.-The Will
Jams county manslaughter case, the
state vs.. Thomas O'Neil of Kenmare,
brought to Ward county for trial, has
been terminated Francis ]. Murphy
and G. S. Wooledge, appearing for the
defendant, made motion that the
charge be changed to simple assault,
which was allowed by Judge Leighton

that charge and the worst he can get
is a county Jail sentence His broth

These men were working in a coal
mine at Williston in March and in a
fight with George Ray, a blow was
struck by one Of them, which result
ed in Rays death. They claimed self
defense, and that would have been
their defense, had the charge not been

VAUDEVILLE FEATURES GOOD
That Department Of the State Fair q
Complete Success in Every
Detail.

Vaudeville features of the state fair
have been Of the best this year the
program carried out daily in front of
the grand stand being one that has
attracted the interest and admiration
Of all.
The "Six Flying Banvards" in their
sensational act. have captured the adj
miration Of the crowds daily. They
compose Americas foremost aerial
workers, putting on a flying return
act with double somersaults from one
to another at dizzy heights.
There are some decidedly good tum-
bles and considerable real comedy in
the Swain Osman trio. Their trick
house act Is one that takes.
The LaNoles-the clown and the
lady-in the comedy bar act and the
bounding bed-keep the crowds in
good humor while working.
Gus Henderson is the fellow who
continually cuts funny capers in front
Of the grand stand. handles the an
nouncements and does the bounding
rope act, a number that has proved
highly entertaining.
Then there are the Wishard sisters
in the novelty ring and ladder act
who hold up their end Of the program
IN good shape.
"The Great Leoni" in the Roman
rings and head balancing act, is very
good.
One Of the attractions particularly
interesting is that of Alfred Hallen
OF Grafton, N. D.. and his "high
school" horse. The animal is we'll
trained and gives some decidedly good
stunts.

The state exhibit in charge of W. E.

occupies prominent place in the
west side of liberal arts building.
The large booth is filled with a fine
display of grains The exhibits are

barley, fax, wheat, alfalfa, durum
wheat, and various grasses.
In one case there is large N. D.
made from barley and wheat seed.
Above this is a bird made from al

max seed. The whole is encircled by
wheat in stalk. In another case
there Is large eagle and a star

an N. D. OF fax seed. These grains
are Of the best and advertise the pro-
ductiveness Of the state.
In the front Of the booth are two
large cases, one containing vases
and the other dishes made from
North Dakota clay. The articles are
very beautiful and have received
much praise from the visitors. A
sample Of the clay is also shown.
Just across from the large booth is
small one showing the twine and
ropes made at the state penitentiary.
1t shows the finished product and also
the abaca or manila hemp used In
the manufacture Of binding twine.
A handbook issued by w C. Gill

OF the resources of the state in con-
else manner. 1t tells Of her land, her

power used to carry the material is
gravity The material enters at the

PRETTY ETHEL AND HER HAREM
SKIRT CAUSED FURURE UP TOWN
Some SHE'D.
Others smiled.

| Some SHE'D.
| Others smiled.
Still others snickered aloud.
And there were some who Just
guffawed.
1t was Just a harem skirt-and a
mighty pretty girl-that's all.
| But the combination was such that
| they just couldn't help enjoying it,
and the down town crowds this morn
ing, during the progress Of the Sells
Floto circus parade, just gaped and
Wonderland wondered and gaped
some more.
Pretty Ethel Roberts. graceful and
| charming, was the girl. Her costume
was Of the latest fashion, and the
entire outfit just cost a neat little
5000 roll.
Absolutely unconscious OF the furore
! that she created, unmindful of the
! passing procession, Ethel weuded her
way along Third street, into several
OF the leading department stores
where she made purchases with as
little concern as though it was the
| commonest thing In all the world for
| q harem skirt to blossom right out
In the middle OF the street in the
middle Of the day.
Appearing shortly before the circus
parade and departing some time with
in the next hour or two, Miss Roberts
proved an attraction that We'd with
the big parade.
Effects of the harem skirt on the
onlookers are different.
Tho masculine effect: "By love.
that's nifty"
The feminine effect: We'll, 1t may
be striking, but I don't believe that
they will ever catch me with one"
But Miss Roberts just wore it for
the OCCASION. She is with the Sells
F'loto circus, and her down town
promenade was just a part Of the
program-and nothing more.
