Turn Turtle.

London. Dec. 15.-The FAN or HI
aeroplane to-day added two to the iist
Of fatalities of aviation. Lieutenane
w. Parke, Of the royal navy, and Mr.
Hardwick the manager of an aero
pIane company, were killed when the

crash on the Wembley golf course this
afternoon.
The two started in a monoplane IN d
choppy wind. They had proceeded only
q few miles, at the rate OF about nrty
miles an hour, when the machine
turned turtle. Many persons watching
the aeroplane, saw it swoop over the
golf grounds at a height Of 100 feet
Suddenly the wind checked Its night
and turned 1t over, and 1t crashed 10
the earth. The aviators were pinned
under the wreckage.

leading aviators in the last army
maneuvres. He received his license In
April, 1911, at Brooklands.

UNIQUE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
The Possibilities in Japanese Towel
ling Are Many.

Numerous attractive Christmas things
may be made from japanese towelling, a
novel material, which costs about 70 cents
to 81 25 for a piece OF ten yards. This
narrow, coarse, white cotton creepy goods
is printed at intervals. with the two
toned designs, showing single sprays or
wistaria. Fujiyama by moonlight, few
scattered maple leaves, flying birds.
shaggy chrysanthemums and similar de-
signs.
A bolt or two may be easily converted
into presents. A far-seeing young matron
ordered her towelling direct from China
town and has made 1t up into tea sets,
the cross pieces forming the cloth proper
and the dozen small napkins. She fagot-
ted the two strips together with coarse
blue floss, then marked the napkins with
long, angular Japanesy letters, one above
the other, with a dash beneath. The
marking in blue was done In corner
where the white background predomi-
mated. One of her sets, she Is sure, will
be enjoyed next summer by hostess who
has a veranda furnished in blue and
white. Another is to be sent to young
bride in whose simple little dining-room
blue and white china is used.
This towelling has also been used for
nursery set; spread OF the white cot
ton crepe is bordered with the towelling,
and dresser cover and curtains are made
TO match. This japanese material is to
appear in a set for an invalid's breakfast
tray. The oval cloth, shaped to fit the
tray, is buttonhoed and II has the nap
kins TO match. A set of fruit napkins
made Of the blue and white crepe will be
another Christmas remembrance. The
towelling launders perfectly and fruit
stains do not show. A child would enjoy
having a half dozen Of the marked nap
kins for her very own" to use in her
school lunch box.
Laundry bags and bags for the table
napery to hang in the buffers pantry
made with the convenient hoop top, are
both pretty and practical.
Another gift that will not come amss
is pair OF hemsttched sash curtains for
the small bathroom window.

NEEDS OF THE CTTY'S
CLIFF JEWELLERS
In Estimating the Amount She Can Pay for Shelter the
Domestic Engineer Must Consider More Things
than Rental Alone

demand and supply will come into play.
The country Is wide enough, the unused
land of Long Island and New Jersey ex-
tends far enough, the American architect
is clever enough and the realty owner
shrewd enough to provide sufficient
number OF the right sort Of homes for
American families. The demand, how
ever. must undoubtedly be made by the
efficiency engineer at the head OF the
household the woman. 1t will never be
made by the bool1keeper. The American
man IL too busy at his work and too con-
tented in his home to do much Kicking"
The law, which is slowest of all to act,
gradually recognizes the rights of the
renter. A landlord Is compelled to fur
nish q water tight roof, sanitary plumb
ing, fire escapes and other equipment and
recently the law explicitly stated the land
lord could not enforce lease when the
heating clause had been violated.
The chief things which the city cliff
dweler should ultimately demand may
be summed up as follows:
Five hours OF sunshine or clear day
light in every room in her dwelling. A
dark house is a sick house. Sunshine Is
more precious than gold for ten months
OF the American year. When obtained
treasure and use II. Sunshine beaches
carpets; the lack Of It beaches children.
A playground for tile children other than
the street, transportation to which in
wolves no danger to life and limb. There
is only one solution to this need in New
York City and that Is proper utilization
OF its enormous roof space.
Fresh air, including an ample ventila-
ton OF building. and no impregnatlon
from doors arising from sewage, render
Ing works, candy factories. etc.
Freedom from unnecessary noise. The
control Of noise, OF street traffic, hawkers,
rolling stock, water traffic, the insistent
ambulance gong when used as an adver-
tisement and not strictly to obtain pre-
cedence IN needed haste. Deadened walls
Absolute freedom from vermin-bedbugs
mosquitoes, flies. including the biting
stable fly, which cannot be distinguished
from the house fly by the ordinary OBJ
server; cockroaches, rats and mice.

Philadelphia Dec lJ.--With expressions
OF satisfaction over the results of their
campaign for cheaper eggs, officers Of the
Housekeepers' League to-day spoke en-
Enthusiastically Of plans to reduce the price
of other food products. and predicted that
within a short time Philadelphans will
be living cheaper and better than for
many years" During the four days cru
sade nearly ten million eggs have been
sold at "A cents a dozen. with saving TO
the consumer, according to Mrs. William
B. Derr, president Of the league, of $S3'o5o
And we are not yet through with the
trusts" declared Mrs. Derr. When we
have broken the corner in eggs other
tens will be taken up.
There are nine million pounds more
butter in cold storage than at this time
last year" continued Mrs. Derr, when

lin wo local newspapers this morning
the Dmen back OF the league were
ViciOusly attacked. IL was aSseTleu '"o'
the tremendous sale of eggs at a low price
was simply matter Of quick sales ana
small profits" The women were described
as the cloak behind which certain specu-
lators were hiding.
The attack was inspired by large de-
partment store here, which at first nan
died the eggs for the Housekeepers
League, and was advertised as one OF the
cheap selling agencies. Later this store
discovered that 1t could purchase cheap
cold storage eggs on its own account
and. while It still masqueraded as an
agency for the Housekeepers' League II
made a profit from its own eggs.
AS soon as Mrs. Derr learned that the
store was selling eggs IT had purchased
and really was making quick sales anu
small profits" she ordered that the
agency of the league in that store De ois-
continued. Not a newspaper in Phiiade'-
pbia has published the fact that the iafse
department store has lost the agency Oh

by the women who started the price

the attack on the Housekeepers' League
is also inspired by large dealers In nearby
cities. who fear that the price-cuttlng

ties.
Many prominent men in this and other
cities have interested themselves in the
, crusade inaugurated by the league and
have volunteered their cooperation IN
any way which might be suggested An
official Of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company called on Mrs. Derr to-day and
offered his services, and she has received
many letters from public spirited men in
New York, Boston and other cities asking
II they could be Of assistance. confer
ence between officers Of the league and
these men will probably be held within
the next week to map out definite plan
for the extension of the campaign. For
the present. however, activities viii be
confined TO the sale OF eggs.
That the campaign has created wide
spread public interest is apparent In every
section
"suffragette" and housewives" eggs are
prominently displayed by many dealers

conducted Lnder the auspices OF the
league.
Requests from scores Of dealers for the

II Is expected that some three hundred
stations will be in operation tomorrow

NEW HAVEN TRAIN KILLS 2
Boys Playing on Platform at
Glenbrook Meet Instant Death.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Stamford, Conn, Dec. lo.-Playing on
the platform of the railroad station IN
Glenbrook, a suburb Of Stamford, late
this afternoon, Carrot Schwartz ana
Joseph Gaffney, each seven years old,
were killed instantly by a westbound
express train on the New Haven road.
The crown of each boys head was
crushed and the right leg OF each was
broken. The police have been unable
10 find a witness of the accident. The
assumption is that the boys either stood
too close to the edge of the platform
or else they ran out upon the tracks
while playing tag and were hit by The
train.
