Aviator c. Murvin Wood
Makes Two Successful
Flights.
GOES AROUND MONUMENT
Scars Over Mount Vernon, Alexandra,
and Other Places in VIginia-Sixty
Miles an Hour Is Averaged.

washingtonians and Virginians yester-
day heard for the first time in year
the whirr of an aeroplane's propeller.
when c. Murvin Wood, in his Moisant
monoplane. the Bluebird, made two flights
from Fort Myer, in which he visited
Washington. Alexandria, Mount Vernon,
Fairfax Court House, and several Virginia
towns not visible on a large-scale map.
Mr.. Wood had announced that he would
circle the Washington Monument at about
$50 o'clock. Several thousand persons
were gathered in the Ellipse. the Monu-
ment Grounds, and Potomac Park at that
time Many more were stationed on tops
OF buildings.
Four minutes before the time set Mr..
Wood arose from the drill grounds at
Fort Myer. Before he had reached an
altitude of 500 feet he was visible from
the base of the Monument. He circled
the neighborhood of Fort Myer three
times. climbing steadily, before he
swerved, when, on the last circle. he
reached the Potomac River and followed
its course as far as Alexandria
Goes Up 400 Feet.
The monoplane, small as 1t is, was
visible during the entire flight because
the atmosphere was clear. Mr.. Wood
reached Alexandria flying at an altitude
Of about 1900 feet, and turned sharply
toward Washington. AS he neared the
Monument he lowered his monoplane
until it was within $500 feet of The

iaster than any that has been seen
here recently. had passed the Monu-
ment in making a large circle and was

Easy to Mend.
A crochet needle is a good thing to
mend knit underwear with. Place
the worn portion in an embroidery
frame, and with thread to suit the
mesh of the garment, wool, silk or
cotton, pick up the ends of the
stitches where they are broken off
and unite them. working back and
forth until the holes are filled even
lN and smoothly. Perhaps the neck
of the underwear has stretched in
the washing until it is all out Of
shape In that case run a draw
string around the neck, wet it and
draw it into shape Then when it is
dry it will be the proper size. You
may then crochet a neat beading in
place of the one which has worn
away.
To Mend WOOlen or Silk Dress.
A novel way OF mending a woolen
or silk dress in which round hole
has been torn, and where only a
patch could remedy matters, is the
following: The frayed portion
around the tear should be carefully
smoothed, a piece of the material
moistened with very thin mucilage
and placed under the hole. A heavy
weight should be put on it until dry
when it is only possible to discover
the mended place Ly careful observa-
ton.

wives complain because their hus-

their home at night, and as fre-

their children want to run the

around their owa firesides. This
state Of affairs cannot be understood
by those interested. but there is no
secret about it.
A western business man, in speak

Spokesman Review as saying: Two
things held me at home. One was
hearing my father talk at table, so
that I never wanted TO go elsewhere
to eat, and the other was hearing
my mother read in the evening, so
that | rarely wanted to go out. "
This seems to explain the situation
clearly; the parents of this man
had the willingness and capacity to
make their home the most sought
place of any to the mind of the child.
The home was put above the theater,
the cafe. somebody else's parlor or
playground OF course, it took some
sacrifice on the part of the parents
to accomplish this thing, but once
accomplished the Upbringing OF the
children was doubtless an easy mat

have no incentive to stay at home.

The lack of ethical training and

pointed out by the Conservation Con-
