6. J. LAKE SAYS HE HAS MADE
 FLYING SAFE
Will Soon Give Practical Demonstration of New
 Type of Aircraft
Treacherous Currents and Air Holes Robbed of Their
 Terrors, He Says

After experimenting for several years at his aerdrome' at the old driv- ing park in Stra tford, Christopher J. Lake has announced that he has in vented an aeroplane that is safe MT Lake claims his new hier will not up set nor drop if the engine stopss nor will it be affected by currents or t'air holes,' the dread of the aviators, to which the loss of the lives of scores of birdmen have been laid.
 Moreover MT. Lake is now arrang- ing to give a public demonstration of drome in August. MT. Lake Is the father of Simon Lake, the inventor of the famous Lake submarine torpedo boat. To a Farmer reporter he said today:
 '.I shall give a public demonstration of my invention at my aerodrome in August am arranging a big avia- tion meet for that time for I wish to make a comparison of my machine with the other types of flying machines now in use and I think I can easily demonstrate the superiority of my in vention-
 '"The principle I have perfected and which makes flying machines safe can be applied to a biplane, monoplane or tripIane. I have applied the same principle of stability for maintaining an even keel in the flying machine which my son, Simon Lake, applied in his invention of the submarine tor pedo boat. The problems of under water and air navigation are much the same in some respects.
 ''I have certain patents in this coun- try and abroad and others are pend ing and until those are secured can not go into detail about my inven- ton. I have demonstrated the prin- cipIe practically with a model and now have full size machine at the aero drome which will do all claim for it.
 'fThe driver of types of flying ma chimes now in use has to get his en- zine going very fast before it will leave the ground at all. My tnven- ton will rise at a speed of few miles an hour-an easy driving gait
 If a gust of wind strikes one side of the Lake machine, it's inventor says or if one side falls into an lair hole the aerop1ane will tip slightly and then recover it's balance of itself. Be cause of it's even keel in descending the new machine presents @ broad sur face to the air continually and comes down like a parachute, except that 1t takes a long glide
 In his experiments with models MT. Lake suspended a model from a con siderable height, bottom upward, and cut the string. The machine r1ghteC itself, he says, like a cat and glided down a long air incline to the earth. Dropped sideways also the machine righted itself and sailed down safe ly.
 MT. Lake is vice-president of the Lake Torpedo Boat company, manu- facturers of the Lake submarines, in vented by his son. MT. Lake said to- day he expected that some of the men most prominent in the invention of flying machines as well as some of the foremost aviators, including sev- eral famous birdwomen, would come to Bridgeport in August to witness the demonstration of his invention.

 STOP STUDENT CRY DEATH TO YANKEES

Mexico City, July 12-when 300 stu dents from the public schools gathered before the national palace yesterday for an anti-Amerfcan demonstration they expected official approbatioz but instead were dispersed by the police

President Huetra sent a message to them saying that if they wished to send a. committee to him tomorrow he would receive it, but he would sanction no demonstration.

MUSLIN UNDERWEAR S
THE sMITH-MURRAY co.

Various committees eI1ould be ap- pointed. The need of one for neglect ed children was very great, said the speaker, as 1t was found that condi- tions here were very poor and there was no adequate care for children in the court. There was no children's aid society or juvenile court and it could not be estimated how many chill dren were nightly kept in jail cells in stated period while awaiting trial or transportation to other institutions. The probation officers were doing what they could to attend to children In their care, but were overworked.
 A committee for the care of tuber- cular was highly recommended.
 Homeless men and wife deserters found a Mecca here said MT. Willows, owing to conditions along the New throughout New England afforded much too comfortable accommodations to the homeless.
 The speaker recommended the form ing of an association here, and es- timated it's first years cost at about $5,oe0, possibly a trife more. This was to include a trained expert sec retary at between $1,2O0 and $1,S00; woman assistant at $72o, office ex- penses $1, GOO and a relief or emer- gency fund of an additional $1s000 A central council of agencies should be established and endorsement of the movement and cooperation should be secured from all the large commercial organizations of the city. A confi- dentia1 exchange for records and in forma ton between ex1sung SoclelAeS should be considered.
