TIMBER WAS DEFECTIVE.
Reason for Accident at Pension Of.
fee Alleged by Injured Workman.

Arose NJ. Raymond. one of the three
painters who was injured Wednesday
when a scaffold fell at the pension office
today declared that the accident was not
due to the slipping of the scaffold. as
reported before. but that one of the tim.
bers supporting the scaffold had snapped
suddenly. throwing the men to the floor
He added:
Il said at the time we We're going to
work that the 2x4 piece of timber, four
teen feet long. which supported the GEN.
ter OF the scaffold. was too frail to carry
the weight Of the lumber and the men
at work, but, as 1t had answered the
purpose before, I thought no more of
1t until We had worked over to about
the center OF this scantling.
The scantling snapped. 1t did not
slip or crack, which would have given
US some chance to save ourselves. 1t
snapped at a knot about three feet from
the center end. The timber was faulty.
should think that the government, to
which the scaffold belonged, should set
an example for our local employers by
providing secure scaffolds."

HAVE NO FEAR OF POLICE

A man who works in newspaper Of
flee got off the car just across the border
which separates the state Of Maryland
from the District of Columbia. He was
a regular commuter, working by day in
the city Of Washington, and reading seed
catalogues by night in his little cote in
Maryland, where they have a vote. He
had with him his daily quota of pack
ages, his newspapers and new garden
tool which had struck his fancy as he
whiled away the last three minutes of
his lunch hour in front Of a 5 and 10
cent store show case.
Equipped thus, no one would have taken
him for anything but commuter. And
being a commuter, and being in Mary
land. it was but natural that he should
be "panhandled" three times in hun
dred yards as he walked from the car
toward his home. "Panhandling' is a
word which springs from no well of
English undefiled. but Is tramps slang,
meaning begging, or soliciting, or can
wasting, and draws its significance from
the picture Of a hobo holding out a pan
to be filled with food from the back
doors

Experiments in Map Making.

There will be a number Of military
experiments tried there as soon as the
machines are available. Experiments
in map making will be tried. though
the aeroplane is such speedy vehicle
that it is not known whether or not
it will be available for map making by
hand. Even il this Is the case. how
ever, there is another scheme, a de-
velopment of the picture idea that some
Of the army officers have expressed q

making pictures with panorama
camera. The panorama film camera is
a new development in photography so
far as the general public is concerned.
1t takes a picture five or seven
inches wide and from four to six feet
long. The Star recently reproduced
one Of the encampment of troops on the
Mexican border. This showed a stretch
Of almost 1000 feet in the foreground

Same Old Bill Stubs.

AS the man stepped off the car sol.
emn ashen gray-colored individual dressed
in the garb of a cleric, with regulation
collar buttoned behind, etc, addressed
him:
Sir, we are getting up fund for
the relief of Bill Stubbs. master gunner
aboard the flagship Of the Canadian navy.
He lost his leg cruising along the coast
of Switzerland, and, being a heart of
oak himself. We are getting up a fund
to supply him with a leg to match"
The man looked over the list and saw
the names Of nearly all the gullible peo-
pie he knew. all down for a dollar.
II subscribed for Bills leg last year,
he said.
A few steps beyond there emerged from
behind privet hedge a comic person
under a tall hat. His face was so
smeared with whiskers that one could
hardly be blamed for Immediately think
ing about Jo-Jo, the Dog-faced Boy.

Whiskers Began at His Eyes.

They were whiskers which started right
underneath the eyes and ratned down
ward. all around his face. in one steady
downpour Of drizzling iron gray. Thei
may have been a collar attached to tn
shirt, but the whskers hid 1t. The shirt
was dirty, and ragged and dirty cuffs
protruded from the sleeves of frock
coat that had been worn out for years
and years. He did business with a smile,
too, He had a book in which he was
getting people to write their names, just
to sign little promise to pay dollar for
a brick in a building to be erected in
Bluff, Arizona, where Prof. Tripe is to
build school for signaling to Mars.
Every person who subscribes dollar has
his name engraved on one Of the bricks.

has been organized and already there are
forty-five entries for the model flying
contest. The boys are eager for the
competition and are confident that some
of the machines will break the American
distance record.
Interest in Aeroplanes.
Up to date the greatest interest has
been taken in the military development of
the aeroplane. Four of these machines
are now in use for scouting work on the
Texas border with the troops there. This
is the first time that aeroplanes have ever
been used under war conditions. Army
and navy officers are both interested in
the utility of these machines for war pur-
poses. 1t is generally conceded that they
will be valuable auxiliaries for scouting.
In fact. it Is estimated that one aeroplane
will be worth more for scouting than a
whole regiment Of cavalry.
There have been pictures taken from
moving aeroplanes, but many OF these
have been defective, either through lack
OF technical skill on the part of the
photographer or from some inherent fault
of the aeroplane or a lack of realizing all
the conditions that have to be met in the
practice Of this new art.
The War Department is preparing for a
big aviation camp at College Park, Nd.
There are now two private hangers on
the ground there, and the QuartermasterS
department is preparing to build four gov
eminent hangers, in which machines will
be stored as soon as the houses are
ready. The Signal Corps already has two
machines. a Wright and a Curtiss. that
will be sent to Washington as soon as
there is house at College Park in which
to put them.
