Erie to Port Rowan, Canada, the first
hirGnan to fly over the Great Lakes,

twenty miles east Of his course, the en-
CINE Of his biplane stopped. For a time
he glidcd toward the ice covered lake,
but suddenly the machine turned turtle
and he was buried, unconscious, in the
wreCkage. How long he remained In this
condition Sandt does not know When
H., recovered. he was literally saturated
with blood from many cuts. Aided by
pocket compass. Sandt walked ten miles
10 the American shore, landing at North
East at 10 o'clock tonight. He was
found staggering along the shore by
LCvs who were skating, and later car

The letter received by Mr.. Arnold on
that day carried instructions to send
the money or n check to BOX No. SOB. at
the same Harlem newspaper office.
Russo and Flood therefore addressed
"phonv" reply as directed. and then

rerintendent of tenement house at No.

her again yesterday morning when she
slipped out of tho house and crossed l33d

William j. Kinslcy n handwriting ex-
pert, compared the sample letters writ

by the Arnold family. At the end of his.
examination he declared that all were
written by the same person. David N
Carvalho. another handwriting expert,
came to a similar conclusion. Mr.. Car

spelled words In the letter to Mr.. Arnold
that tailed with similar mistakes of
spelling in the samples produced by

USEFUL SHIRT WAISTS
THREE WELL CHOSEN GARMENTS
WILL MEET ALL NEEDS.
One of the Newest Models Offered for
Hot Weather Wear Is Comfortable
Bodice That Can Be Worn
While Travelling.

If the dress is to see hard service,
have it In a dark color and match it
with a hat suitably tailored yet capable
of being changed with a bit of dressy
trimming or occasions. The London
hats, or the trim shapes which initiate
these imported styles, are very useful
for both long and short trips, and as
of these have only one bit of
decking put on at the side, 1t is an
easy enough matter to carry along a
pretty pole" of flowers-one of the
high, tightly massed lifts-to put in
place of the feather or cockade worn
at more strenuous times.
The next useful garment for the suit
case traveller is the shirt waist, and
with three in suitable fabrics she can
successfully go through a week end at
a fine country house or stop several
days at a good hotel. The fabric Of
soft and washable sort is to be pre-

RED KID BOOTS IN VOGUE
Fiery CoIored Footwear Will Be Worn
With White Suits, According to
Dictates of Fashion.

A new fashion note, apropos OF the
popularity Of white goods this spring
and summer, was noted in the factory
of a maker of women's high-grade
shoes, where We say a large number
of red kid button boots being prepared
for shipment.
Upon inquiry We learned that these
red kid boots were intended for wear
with white suits and gowns at fashion
able country and seashore resorts as a
change from white footwear, it being
evident to milady Of fashion that she
must have footwear that will take her
out of the ordinary humdrum of fash
ion.
Her white suit OF gown will have a
touch of red trimming to complete the
combination Of a white dress and red
boots.-Shoe Retailer.
