Wright Cites Danger.

The army officers at the park do not
attempt many high flights, as there is no
military necessity for flying over 5000
feet and between aOOo and 5000 II the
usual height for a crosS-country flight.
Lieut. Arnold happened to be one of the
last of the army officers who talked TO
Wilbur Wright at Dayton, and. curiously
enough, the question of altitude flying
came up then. Wilbur discouraged the
idea of very high flights and said it was
not safe to fly over "A mile on account OF
the effect the altitude had both on the
machine and the aviator
There was another record for the army
established during the day, as Capt.
Charles de F, Chandler. in charge of the
camp. took the standard Wright machine
and flew over to Annapolis 10 the Army

Strengthened out for the cross-country
flight. From the time he left the avia-
ton field till he landed in Annapolis was
Just Is minutes. He phoned back to the
park that he had landed and said he
would return as soon as the game was
over. He started his return flight at
I:1O, but had TO fight bad head wind
and was fifty minutes making the return
trip. IL was after dark when he reached
College Park, but Il bonfire had been
lighted and he was able TO find the field
and made a good landing.

Monkey New Mascot.

Brazilian monkey. a very clean, brown.
but rather truculent animal that answers
TO the name Of Jack If he feels like
answering at all. which is not his in
variable rule. He was brought back from
the south by G.. a. Wells, formerly of
the Rex Smith factory, who has come
back TO the park TO open a clubhouse.
Jacks long suit is bananas. and he can
stow away two whole ones in his cheek

All the aviators al the park camp are
looking forward 10 water flying as soon
"a the new hydroplaneS that have been
ordered arrive or as soon the machines
now at the park can be converted. The
aviators consider the choice of the Wash

water aeronlanes as soon as possible

Competed With Others.

Eve fought for whole year for this
contract in competition with the ship
builders of France. England, Germany
and other countries. l confess frankly
that had ii not been for the assistance
given us by the state Department we
never would have gotten the contract 1t
takes more than two years to build a
ship of this size. Think of the work that
means for the 5000 and odd men en-
ployed in the two shipyards in which
these Argentine battleships are building.
Think of the work IL gives to the men in
the steel mills and other factories where
we buy the materials for these ships.
Then think Of the $4,000 saved to the
government in the reduction Of the State
Department appropriation. 1t is ridicu-
louis. And the two contracts I mention
are only a part, a very small part, of
foreign dollars brought to the United
States by the State Department Such
economy Is suicidal. l know that the
business men of this country feel now
that, for the first time, they are getting
a chance to secure foreign business. The
work has only gotten its 6rst start and
Congress wants to ruin the whole thing.
The business men won't allow IL If they
can help it. and l shouldn't think myself
that the laboring man would either, for
here is one place where every one gains
and no one loses"

The Objection Of Fritz.

A veteran Of more than two score

clothing field relates the following, 1t
proves that entertaining buyers is by
no means modern custom, and that
entertainment Is not always appreciat-
ed by those who receive It, The scene
Is laid in local mems wear house
some 40 years ago. The chief charac-
tiers are, salesman and the buyer, a
shrewd merchant tailor named Fritz.
Fritz had come down frsm his place Of
business that day, and in the morning
had bought, bought carefully, wisely
and well. Appreciative of his good
buying, the salesman took Fritz to a
rather elaborate lunch. Returning to
the house, Fritz was shown a bolt OF
cloth. He scowled at and fingered 1t
and, finally, bought it, For the next
hour Fritz continued to look at mer-
chandise, his scowl deepening all the
time. Nothing seemed to please him.
Finally, becoming little exasperated,
the salesman asked, Whats the mat
ter, Fritz? Don't you feel WELL
