Ten days after this letter was re-
ceived at tho Aero Club the Wanna
maker transatlantic fiier was formally
entered for the Lord NorthclifYe prize
and work on the machine was well
under way. The course was planned
from Newfoundland to Achill Head,
Ireland. 1854 miles. The machine was
huge tractor biplane. which could not
have alighted safely on the water. II
was designed to start from and alight
ON the land, making the cross ocean
flight in one jump. placing all faith in
the ability of one 200 horse-powe motor
and single propeller.
Then for several months little was
heard OF the over ocean fiier. Many
rumors reached the Aero Club that
the project, like the others that started
about the same time, had been aban-
| doned. Lieut.. Porte, who had come
| over to consult with Mr.. Curtiss at
Hammondsport, returned to England.
After many weeks Lieut.. Porte came
again and there were rumors of "A COM

About this time THE Sun sent a rep

found two 100 horse power motors
buzzing monotonously in a thirty hour
block test and half dozen workmen
fitting an enclosed pilot house to huge
flying boat. These, ne learned, were
parts of the Wanamaker over ocean
fiier. which was different in almost

announced to the Aero Club.
Lieut.. Porte had gathered some new

realize the necessity of keeping the
blood pure. And those who have used
S. S. s., our famous native blood medi-
cine, speak from experience.
Our usual daily food ration is often
the cause of thick, sluggish blood that
becomes loaded with destructive germs.
These cause pellagra, malaria, blood
risings, anemia, scrofulous sores, boils,
carbIncles and many skin diseases.
And it is generally known throughout
the South that the one genuine, specific
antidotal remedy for all conditions of
impure blood is S. S. S. 1t is prepared
from natures own materials, not an
ounce of drugs being used. And yet it
is mos potent more powerful, more
searching and more productive of re-
storative results than from the most
active of all the minerals employed
in medicine.
Its action by elimination of the
irritating poisons that infect the
blood, is one of the very important
things to know.
You can get S. S S. at any drug
store, but take no other so-called blood
purifier.

MEDF0RD PRATT
FORMER AMERICUS STAR SLAB
MAN HAS SIGNED TO PLAY WITH
BILLIkENS, SAYS A REPORT
THAT REACHED HERE LAST
NIGHT

A good deal OF interest has been oc-
casioned in Americas by the repoIrs
received here last night that Melford
w. Pratt, one of last years Muckalee
squad had affixed his signature to 4
Southern league contract and proposes
to play during 1914 with the Mont
gomery out, as a member of Gilkes
team 1t is the general opinion among
local fans that Pratt made good N
Americas last season, and many hopes
had been expressed that he would be
seen on the local diamond during the
coming season, but according to the
tale that comes from Montgomery, he
will not be here.
The information concerning Pratt
was contained in a special telegram
received by the Times Recorder, and is
as follows:
Two college boys this afternoon
signed contracts to play with Mont
gomery during 1914. They are Melford
w. Pratt and Dan Showers. Pratt was
secured by Cincinnati from the Uni
,-o,o;+,- or A1obo,,,o o,,d for,,,oJ o,,+ LOFT
season to the Americas, Ga, Empire
State league team Showers after
leaving Millsap college played semi
pro ball in Mississippi. Both young
sters have had a great deal of train
ing and are likely to be stickers.
Pratt first attracted the attention
Of Cincinnati scouts when he pitched
g no-hit game against he team rep
resenting Mercer university at Macon.
Ga, during the college season of 1913
Major league scouts were in Macon
for the purpose of looking over Sally
league recruits, and after watching the
performance of the young Alabama
star, kept on his trail until he was
signed by Cincinnati after the college
season.
His inexperience caused him to be re-
leased to Americas, where he made an
enviable record. AS pitcher for the
University of Alabama team Pratt was
classed as an all-southern star, and
made an excellent record as a college
pitcher The two youngsters signed
by Manager Gilkes will report in Mont
gomery on March l.
