AERIAL WARFARE AT STATE
FAIR.

Bombs dropped from Aeroplane upon
fort, while Norwich cadets attack Cita-
del from land. War, with all its hor-
rors, has been on the front page of the
newspapers for months. While one
may conceive of the ravages taking
place across the ocean, little does one
know of the actual destruction wrought
by the bomb, the machine gun, the fort
artillery or by the rapidly moving
cavalry.
The sensational feature to be pre-
sented at the Vermont State Fair at
White River Junction, Sept IA, 10, 10
and II, will depict the aerial feature of
modern warfare. Capt. Chauncey Red
ding, one of America S leading aviators,
and the only man in Massachusetts hav-
ing license to drive an aeroplane, will
attack fort located on the oval of the
fair grounds by dropping bombs from a
high altitude. The fort has its compli-
ment of soldiers and is fully manned.
With the attack of the fort by Capt
Redding, a company of soldiers cadets
of Norwich University attack the fort
in true land military style. The result
is the blowing up of the fort by bombs
dropped from the plane and the capture
of the soldier occupants.
Capt. Redding is an accomplished avi-
atcr. He has been doing many thrilling
feats in and around Boston the past few
weeks. One day recently he flew from
Saugus with a parachute jumper and
after sailing around the Common the
parachutist dropped from the plane and
landed in Joy street. Redding will

accurate. For this purpose, small
screw is set In the top, and when the
pointer does, not indicate 0 while the
scales are at rest, this screw must
be turned one way or the other un-
III the pointer rests exactly at o.
How am to know that the scales
n buy are accIrate?'
This is q reasonable question. for
there is no sense whatever In having
scales that are not accurate. In the
first place, nearly ali the scales are
now being sold by reputable mer-
chants are tested by accurate weights
before, being sent out from the fac
tories but, OF course. defective ones
Will slip In once in while.
However. when buying a scales,
ask the man who is selling 1t to you
to put one-pound weight on the
platform. II the dial indicates one
pound, 1t is accurate that far. Then
ask fora dve-pound weight and ten-
pound weight be put on. II the dial
answers accurately to these, you may
rest assured that your guide is a sats
one to follow.
AS to the price Of such scales, like
everything else, 1t varies. But very
good and seryiceable platform scaleA
can be bought for $1.25-at times i
have seen them as low as si-with-
out a scoop. And really, the scoop
is not needed, for when yon are weigh
ing ordinary packages as they come
from the store, the fiat platform holds
them better than the scoop would, and
II you want to weigh loose taaterial
a lftNtaR " fa,uT nj hon tsft1l4 do.
Just as we'll as a scoop, so long as
you do not forget to make the right
allowance for the weight Of TIE con-
tainer. !.
Watch the Measures, Too. (;
! ut .is foolish to try to get along
With a pair of the old fashioned sep
|arate weight scales. In the tifst place
the weights are always getting lost,
and then, unless the scales are plac-
ed on a fevel, they cannot be accur-
ate. So the sensible thing to do-and
|it is the saving thing tools to pu,
IA platform Kitchen scales.
AS to the measures, It would be a
good deal OF trouble for the average
housewife to keep and. use q set Of
these,s and II she insists on examining
those used by the dealers she trades
with, and seeing that the capacity is
plainly marked on each measure as
is required by the new state law-she
is not, apt to he fooled very often.
Once in while 1t is a good thing,
however, to test the accuracy OF your
vegetable mans measurement by buy
ing from him half peck of pota-
toes and putting these on the scales
IF they weigh 1-2 pounds, your
dealer is giving you right measure.
By law, a bushel Of white potatoes
must weight go pounds and In a good
many stores these potatoes are sold
onlysby weight, which is the right way
So a half peck, being an eighth OF a
bushel, should weigh one-eighth of so
pounds, sorl7 1-2 pounds.
sOf course, the time is coming when
everything will be sold by weight
everything except liquids. And when
every household is properly equipped
with Kitchen scales, that are used
daily, the time Will have arrived when
short weight will be no more. But
Just so long as buyers fail to check
up son what they get. there will be
those to take advantage OF this care
lessness."
