Demoralized by the Strain.

Demoralized by the Strain.
The mental and nervous strain of
this fight was totally demoralizing.
There was not moment of certainty
In it, except the certainty of demoli-
ton if I relaxed my vigilance for an
instant, and with this thought upper
most it was only natural that there
should be a reflex action that had its
physical effect, and I found myself
grasping my steering post with such a
tension that it became painful to the
finger tips.
1t was like learning to fly all over
again, and l was the sole representa-
tive of my native country In the great
est competition in the history of avia-
ton. My position might have struck
me as pathetic had it not been so dan
gerous.
For three circuits of the course L
fought that stubborn aeroplane, deter
mined to conquer it and to make as
good a showing in the result as posi-
BILE. Then 1 felt the strain begin to
tell on my nerves. I found myself
warping when there was no need for
it. My arms jumped the steering post
about in a way that threatened de-
struction, and fancied the Bleriot
was bucking when she was on an even
keel.
Again l went around the course,
hurting through the air at a speed
that would have left nothing but spin
tiers if I had struck the ground, and
again the strain Of those unfamiliar
and cantankereus little wings increas-
ed it's evil effects upon mind, body and
nerves. Soon I found my brain abso-
lutely refusing to work, my nerves
jumping like mad and my arms, Shout
ders, legs and back aching as though
1 had been beaten with a club.
Finally I came down thoroughly
tired out in every faculty and almost
unable to walk. though I did manage

SUMMER DISHES.

On hot days when meat dishes are
too heavy for the main dish, escal-
loped dishes of different sorts are suf-
f1ciently substantial and satisfying.
A combination that is new enough.
to be interesting was only discovered
by accident when three were invited
and here come nine" The dish Is es1
-calloped eggs, and for fear the con-
tents would not be enough to go
around, a cupful Of canned peas We're
added to the egg and white sauce, ma
king a combination especially pleas!
ant. Take a sufficient number OF cold,,
hard-cooked eggs cut in small pieces,
put a layer in a buttered baking dish.
season with salt, pepper and few
drops of onion juice. Over this pour
q rather thick white sauce made of
two tablespoonfuls each of -four and
butter and cup of milk, salt and pep
per to taste. Then add some OF the
peas, and repeat, leaving the white,
sauce on top. Sprinkle with buttered
crumbs and bake golden brown.
This dish might be varied by adding
a few shredded green peppers that
have been parboiled, instead of the.
peas. Let the vegetables take the:
place of meat. Another new dish.
which, because a necessity was.
evolved from short allowance Of two
vegetables: A cupful of fresh musn-
rooms were at hand, and they We're
added to a dish OF creamed potatoes
making that common dish a most
dainty one.
Rhubarb should now be used gener-
ously and put up for winter use.i
Spiced as any fruit, it is delicious as
a relish In the winter with meats, and
preserved with figs and lemons 1t
makes fine conserve. Use six pounds
of pie plant to one pound of figs. two
lemons and three pounds Of sugar.
Crate the lemon peel from the lemon,
using only the yellow part; chop the
figs and add the lemon juice to the
other ingredients, and stand over
night. In the morning cook slowly
until thick.
During the hot weather the body
needs more water, SO cooling drinks,
Juicy fruits and refreshing salads
should be the rule upon our tables.

FRECKLES

with broad, outstretched wings and
with no effort apparent in any part,
SO far as the beholders can see, the
aviator sitting calmly in his seat seem
lngly doing nothing but enjoying him
self. this modern air craft looks to be
the very acme of comfort of ease, of
exhilaration
Yet few hours in the air in an aero
plane is the hardest days work that
any man can do.
What is there hard about it? What
is there for an aviator to do or to en-
dure that should make it comparable
to labor? The man who races an au-
tomobile knows something of this
strain. But he has only one method
of steering to engage his attention.
He sends his machine to right or left
and that is all there is to it. The
aviator must constantly be in control
Of three sets of apparatus, and a mo-
mentary neglect of any one of the
three means wreck. He must steer up
and down, to right or left, and must
keep his horizontal balance in the air.
Three Kinds of Strain In Flying.
Roughly, the strain of flying can be

Drags herself painfully through her

WAR ON HIGH INTEREST
IN COURTS Of NEW YORK
Five Suits Filed, Others to Fol-
low, Against Salary Loan
Companies.

NEW YORK, January 7.--SuitS against
five salary loan companies were begun
today by agents for the Russell Sage
Foundation. which plans g. national cam
paign against usurious money lenders.
Twelve more suits are said to be under
preparation, and wherever the evidence
justifies. criminal action will be brought
through the district attorneys office.
Four Hundred in New York.
1.-The 400 chattel and loan companies
doing business in New York" said Ar
thur Fl. Ham. special agent for the
foundation, have an aggregate capital of
s.oout c5,OGO.OOO, which by short-term
loans is made to do an annual business
of about $3O.oOO.OOO. The average cost OF
loan to the borrower is ~ per cent a
rate is q per cent. Consequently mo. q
than $j,COO,OUO annually is eXtOrtel from
those who are least able to bear oppres-
SiOn
THE loan shark is in all large cities
OF the country. Until an agency is sup
piled where the deserving borrower can
get accommodation at a reasonable in
terest he will continue to flourish in
spite of laws, and the borrower will con-
nive with him in evading these laws.
Suggests a Remedy.
1.-The ultimate remedy is a remedial
loan society which will advance money
at a reasonable rate Of interest. This
proposed society will not be financed by
the Sage foundation, but. like those
which are already in operation in twenty
cities. 1t will be readily supplied with
funds by private individuals, who will
welcome an opportunity to combine a
safe and sound per cent investment
with real philanthropy"
