Airship Above Eleven Thou
sand Feet.

CHICAGO. August 1o.-Aviator Oscar
Brindley broke the worlds aeroplane
altitude record yesterday. 1t Is believed,
by rising more than 11.OO0 feet above Lac
Michigan. Beyond the extent Of human
vision he circled through clouds invisible
from earth, risked death and finally de-
scended safely, a new hero in the fast
increasing list of those made by aviation.
That he broke the worlds record is
conceded by his fellow aviators, though
not yet definitely proved. When he left
the ground shortly before o'clock he
was unknown.

from the machine 1t registered a trit1e

Shooting Succeeds Confession.

The confession, it is alleged, was made
in May, 1908. The shooting occurred in
August. 1908. 1t was brought out that the
suit for divorce was filed by Hams in 1905.
Thornton Hams declared he believed
Mrs Hams was now at Narrasaasett
Pier. Her three children, the Oldest about
ten years of age. are under Gen. Hams
guardianship at his home IN Washington,
ID. G.
Thornton Hains testified that the parties
TO the suit were married at Winthrop,
Mass, by the Rev. DR.. Carson, an Epis-
copal clergyman, on or about April 80,
1850. The witness was shown and recog-
niZed the summons and complaint in the
divorce suit, which he himself served
upon Mrs. Hams at Fort Hamilton June
]. 1905.
David c. Bennett, jr., lawyer, of No.
| 10 Vail street, testified that as Hams
counsel he visited Mrs. Hams at Fort
Hamilton May 81. 1908. and obtained
from her a signed confession.
Gen. Hams took the stand. He told
OF conferring with Mrs. Hams at about
the time of her husbands return from
the Philippines, in May, 1908. and said
| that she had admitted to him that what
she had told Mr.. Bennett was true. Said
/ Gen Hams:

Others Unfortunate.

Hammond entered in the alighting con-

Engine trouble caused Oving.on to at
tempt descent at I'D street, but he was
unable to see distinctly from the pit of
the monoplane he was driving and set
tied in shallow water near the lake shore.
The other recognized altitude record Is
for passenger carrying, and this also has
been broken within the month August
> William G.. Beatty at Hampstead Plains,

as a passenger. The machine was "a

the record more remarkable in this case
was the fact that Beatty had won his

A thing the housewife should re-
member is that the bacteria always
come from an outside source. and in
almost all instances they enter the
food after delivery to a retailer, or
after it is delivered to the housewife
by the grocer.
They are unlikely to occur where
cleanliness in the store or kitchen and
in the refrigerator is insisted on.
Fruit Salad and Alcohol
I'm addition to salmon salad. any
meat salad is dangerous unless it is

hours before being eaten. There is
no danger from ptomaines in fruit
salad. or in the ordinary vegetable
salad. provided the ingredients are
thoroughly cleaned before being made
up.
Fruit salads sour If left standing
where bacteria can get to them.
recall having some fruit salad at a
church supper some time ago, where
the salad had been made up several
hours before. 1t had been in the pro.
cess of fermentation for some time,
and when served, had considerable
percentage of alcohol in 1t. but no pto-
al
| ingredients. When l told some of the
good women of the church they were
serving food that was rich in asco
hol, in fact, richer than ordinary beer
/ they were much shocked.
| The housewife who prepares fruit
salad and permits it to stand where
bacteria can get to it, is likely soor
to be serving product that is some
1 what intoxicating. These bacteria
too, work in temperature that the av
erage person would think would pre-
vent their operations.
