PARTY BACK IN
WASHINGTON
Presidents Fiancee Wears
Her Engagement Ring
Dinner at White House

Washington, Oct. ll.-President Will
son and Mrs. Norman Gait, his hancee,
returned to Washington Saturday night,
very tired but much pleased with the re-
eeption accorded them in New York and
Philadelphia on their first appearance
since their engagement was announced.
The couple completed two busy days by
watching Boston defeat Philadelphia in
the second game of the worlds series,
together with 10000 other fans. The re-
turn to Washington from Philadelphia
was made on a special train. As the
party left the train the president shook
hands with the engineer, L. G. Bran
bic.
The party dined at the White House,
those present besides the president and
his fiancee being Mrs. W. H. Boiling,
Mrs. Calls mother; Secretary and Mrs.
McAdoo, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones
and the Misses Lucy and Mary Smith
of New Orleans, cousins of the presl-
dent; Col r. Brown OF Atlanta, Ga,
Secretary Tumulty and Dr. Cary /.
Grayson, the presidents physician.
On the way back to Washington the
president seemed very happy. He spent
much time chatting with railroad Off
Gals who accompanied the party. All
congratulated him on his engagement
and he thanked shem. Mr.. Wilson said
he had enjoyed the game very much, es-
pecially the lass inning with its exciting
action.
In Philadelphia the president and Mrs.
Gait received constant ovations. All the
way from the railroad station TO the Ma
tional League ball park they were APP
plauded by crowds which lined the
streets.
Rumor had it that Mrs. Gait favored
the Philadelphia team, and the report
was borne out by the fact that when the
Philadelphia fans rose en- masse when
their team went TO the bat in the sew
enth inning, the president and Mrs. Gait
got up with them. Mrs. Gait talked ex-
citedly to Mayor Blankenburg in the ad'
joining box when Philadelphia tied the
score in the fifth inning.
The president kept his own score card
and followed each play closely. He used
TO play baseball himself when in col
lege and applauded feature plays I'M
partially. Mrs. Calf wore bouquet
given her earlier in the day by the pres
ident and gloves hid her solitaire dia-
mono engagement ring, which was

In spite of the lack of interest because
of the worlds series, there were plenty

the resulting scores were great surprises
to those interested, while Others were ex-
actly the same as expected. Yale had q
mighty narrow escape, and but for the
star work of Capt. Alec Wilson and Nal
Scoyil, Lehigh would probably have re-
peated the Virginia disaster of the week
before in the bowl at New Haven. Har-

dolph Agricultural School, They
Won, 20 to o, Saturday.

Unable to score in the first half OF the
game because of many penalties inflicted
for offside play and holding, Montpelier
high overcame this obstacle in the last
two periods against the Randolph "Ag-
gies" on the Montpelier seminary camp
us Saturday afternoon and crossed the
goal line three times, winning by a 20
TO score.
The Montpelier eleven was penalized
total Of l75 yards during the game and
but for this big handicap would have run
up big score against the embryo farm
ers, who failed TO display any real foot
ball AZ any time during the contest, the
lighter high school team gaining almost
at will through the line, and many for
ward passes were successful, the first
score being the result OF a toss from
Pape 70 Milo. who made a 20-yari dash
for the goal line.
The game was married by considerable
wrangling between the Montpelier war
riors and Umpire Kibby, the former con
tending that the continued infection Of
penalties was not justified, but 20 the
close observer Il seemed that the umpire
was a capable official, although perhaps
he watched the Montpelier players closer
than the visitors. The disputes brought
about the removal of Captain Mack from
the game in the last few moments Of
play
Montpelier's first score came at the
beginning Of the third quarter, when a
march toward the goal line was started
in midfeld. A series Of line plays
brought the ball TO the 25-yard line,
when Pape tossed clever forward pass
to Milo and the latter did HE part by
making a 20-yard sprint over the line
for a touchdown. Pape kicked the goal.
The second touchdown came when Pape
punted after the locals had been held
for three downs and Milo recovered the
ball on the fve-yard line when Ran

ORIGIN
Of Airship Ideas Fifty.TwO
Years Ago

st. Paul. Mimi, Aug. Count
Ferdinand Won Zeppelin, the airship
inventor has admitted that he was the
Count Steiner" who experlmented
with balloon flight in ST. Paul in 1863.
His first aerial trip, he now admits,
was made on August 8, 1863, at st.
Paul, and it was while he was sailing
aloft on that initial trip that the DOS
sibilities of aerial navigation and
aerial warfare fixed themselves in
his mind. He returned to Germany
and spent his life and fortune trying
tc accomplish the endless task of ov-
grooming the forces of gravitation,
winds and weather.
Zeppelin met with his difficulties
here before he was able to ascend
into the clouds. But on Aug. g. with
no less distinguished guest than
the daughter of the governor, he made
his successful fight. Alexander RAM
sey, the war governor of Minnesota
was to have journeyed up with him,
but was too busy that day. So that
little Marion Ramsey was his substi-
tute. Miss Ramsey is now Mrs. G. E.
Furness of st. Paul, and she recalls
the balloon ascension.
II can remember making the flight"
she says, "but did not realize until
now that the pilot was so distinguish
ed a peson as Count Won Zeppelin. /
enjoyed my trip and was glad that
mother was not there to stop me
from going up"
st. Paul at the time was frontier
town, and gas was scarce article
The balloon he used was owned by an
army officer who was experimenting
with it as a captive balloon. Zeppe-
Inns determination finally secured
enough gas to give the buoyancy for
o flight. The thrill of adventure was
then in his veins, for the count was
then only 20 years old. While sailing
over the forests and lakes, he con-
ceived the idea of the dirigible, the
application of power to directing the
movements of gas airships. Instead
of drifting with the breezes, he be-
lieved it possible to follow a course
if the proper power machine could be
produced. Later on, when the gas en-
gine was perfected, the count was
able to secure the needed power, and
in his half century Of experimenting
since his flight here he has demon
strated his theories to be entirely
practical.
The count, though II years old
now, is hoping to see the day when
one Of his pet Zeppelins will cross the
Atlantic, and nothing would please
him more than to be at the helm and
pilot the craft to st. Paul, where he
obtained his inspiration.

STOCK
For The Country Club Has
Been Subscribed
And Permanent Organization
To Be Effected

The Mt. Vernon Country club is as
sured, the necessary 100 shares of
stock having been subscribed, accord
ing to the report of the membership
committee Thursday evening at a
meeting in the offices of the Mt. Ver-
non Telephone Co.
Over 100 shares of stock were sub
scribed, but as it was only necessary
to bring the total up to the century
mark in order to make the agreement
binding, the club for this city has be-
come reality.
A permanent organization will be
effected within week. Before this
is done, some effort will be made to
increase the membership. Afterwards
membership must be petitioned for
and acted upon by the membership
committee of the new organization.
Practically all of the credit for Sc
curing the necessary number of sub
scribers to make the agreement bind
ing is due to one person, DR.. N. R.
Eastman. AS chairman of the mem
Eership committee, he assumed about
80 per cent of the work of getting
subscriptions. One of the best boost
ers in the city, DR.. Eastman has made
the country club possible by his own
work and deserves an infinite amount
of credit.

BANANA FLOUR
(Indianapolis News)

In Holland and Belgium, when the
war forced up the price OF wheat -four,
attempts were made to find substitutes.
Tulip bulbs we're ground and the meal
used In baking, but the results were
unsatisfactory. In Jamaica expert
ments have been made with the ban
ana. Jamaica's most important pro-
duct Is the banana, and since the war
began sales have fallen off. This led
to the tests to convert the fruit into
flour. In one case 537 pounds so con-
verted made 1873 pounds. 1t cost SO
cents hundred pounds to make the
-four. The wholesale price was put at
four cents a pound. This is said to
yield profit so fair that the making
of banana flour may soon be regular
enterprise. Nine hundred and fifteen
pounds OF fruit on the stem gave in
flour value of $3.50. The banana meal
mixed with wheat -four is being used
to bake bread and cakes. Both the
cakes and the bread are liked by the
people, who thus get a larger and
certainly no less nutritious loaf.
Housewives are urged to try banana
meal with wheat -four A little expert.
menting will give the maximum pro-
portion of banana meal that may be
used for breadmaking. From three
parts of banana meal to five of wheat
flour up to half and half are said to
make good loaf. Banana meal makes
excellent ginger cakes and ginger
bread. A plain cake or scone can be
made of eight ounces of banana meal
to one teaspoonful of baking powder,
and the usual ingredients for cake
to be added.
