Iected, and Various Cities May offer
Other Prizes to Contestants.

Plans for the first transcontinental
aeroplane competition have been COM
pleted by the Aero Club of America. 1t

A first prize of $4,000 may be set
aside by the national aeroplane fund
for the aviator making the best time
Other cash prizes. which will total
about 100000. will be raised by the
club. \ prize trophy TO be awarded
to the winner of similar races held
each year has been offered by Ralph

Hawley Outlines Scheme.
In sketching the plans for the compe-
tition Alan r. Hawley, president of the
Aero club. said:
THE value of the transcontinental
competition will be thoroughly appre-
ciated by the country at large, and we
can rest assured of the cooperation of
the numerous organizations now help
ing the Aero Club of America to de-
yelop aeronautics for national defense
and to establish permanent landing
stations for aeroplanes.
"Cities and organizations along the
route as well as individuals will be in
vited to offer prizes. We are now
awaiting word from city on the coast
which may offer $4,000 to make that
city the termination of the race. Other
cities will offer between 5000 and
$4,000 for prizes in order to be made
controls, where the aviators will stop
for twelve hours. The contest commit
tee suggests therefore that decision as
TO the route TO be followed be post
poned until the plan is made known to
all the cities. organizations and indi-
viduals that may wish to cooperate.

WORTH WHILE FROCKs FOR MODEST PURSES
Republished by Special Arrangement with HARI

The vogue for striped linens for
sports wear is steadily increasing, says
a writer in the May issue of Harper's
Bazar There are no end of materials
shown, and the stripes grow wider and
wider, some even to the exaggerated
width of nine inches.
If stripes continue to broaden at
such a rapid rate, they must inevita-
bly, expand to their limit and so cease
altogether But for the present, no
one can gainsay their popularity.
A dangerous rival to the striped
goods for sports wear, however. has
appeared in polka-dotted materials,
with polka-dots sometimes as large as
a silver dollar. There are even sports
skirts of dotted satin to be worn with
lingerie blouses and a silk sweater in
the color of the dot. Pussy willow taf-
fetas in bold designs are also used for
such skirts and when made in side
plated model are exceedingly good
looking.
Effectiveness in fact, is the keynote
of the smart fashions in summer sport
clothes Whether one indulges in
sports herself or is only an onlooker,
it is essential that her wardrobe should
contain a goodlY supply of these gar
ments, for at the fashionable resorts
such costume is worn the greater
part of the day.
OF sports hats there is legion. Some
are of Angora braid, others of the
straw and material in combinations
innumerable, and on many of them
hand-painting is introduced. 1t may
be only 2 plain ribbon band about the
crown on which are painted prim lit
tie flowers but it gives the requisite
touch of individuality.
A most striking and unusual hat is
a large dark ecru straw with the top
of the crown. underbrim facing and
band around the crown of black satin.
On the front of the band is a hand
painted flower-basket, and on the
crown are painted the flowers which
the basket holds. The painted basket
is in shades of brown and the flowers
of a garden variety, in vivid colorings.
Have you Seen the new detachable
brims for bathing caps? They are
intended to shade the eyes on the
beach and are most becoming. The
brim fits over the bathing cap and is
taken off before plunging into the sea-
Plaid or striped silk in a dark col
or combination is a most attractive
material for bathing suits. Plain taft
feta is used as trimming, and a de-
tachable pique collar gives most be-
coming touch. Each suit should have
three or four of these collars, which
may be attached with snap-hooks; in
this way freshly laundered collar can
be put on without any trouble.
Though taffeta is satisfactory for
bathing suits, saltwater satin is. per-

that the foreman and repairmen will
know what repairs are necessary.
After repairs have been made and the
roofs painted, the cars are placed un-
der the testing machine again and an
other careful inspection is made of the
interior. The cars are then sent back
to undergo any repairs that still may
be necessary.
A shop line pressure of 100 pounds
is used when tests are being made.
This volume of water is sufficiently
powerful to make known any leaks in
the side sheathing or ends of cars.
Best results are obtained from the
apparatus, when it is located so that it
can be served from either one or two
tracks, each track to be long enough
to hold not fewer than twenty-five
cars. 1t should be placed as close as
possible to the shop or yard lines and
located where drainage either by sew
er or surface drain can be secured
easily.
A number of these testing devices
have been installed at various points
along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, while other roads are adopting
them extensively.
The Topeka state journal., 1916-05-20

An ingenious device used in locating
car roof leaks has been designed by
Charles N. Swanson, superintendent of
car shops IN Topeka. The apparatus
is so constructed that when water is
rushed through 1t a heavy, straight
downpour of rain is simulated. Wa
terproofing tests are made by slowly
pushing cars under the spray, which
can be used with varying intensity.
The total equipment consists of a
one-inch horizontal pipe about three
feet long, having two rows of one
sixteenth inch holes drilled on the un-
der side. This pipe, suspended about
five feet above the center of the car,
is supplied from the service water
main.
Cars to be tested are moved under
the devcie at slow speed by a switch
engine. All car doors are closed while
under the spray and then opened
when they have passed beyond range
of the downpour. An inspector close
ly examines the roofs and locates all
leaks, which he distinctly chalks, so

PLANNERS DID GOOD WORK
Town Of Gary, Ind, Built on Prear.
ranged Design, 10 Looked Upon
~ q Model City.

Gary, Ind, built in the open on a pre-
arranged plan, generally looked upon
as the most efficiently organized indus
trial city in the world, is still less than
ten years old. The first shacks for its
construction gangs were thrown up
in 1906. The founders wished to avoid
the paternalism which had proved SO
detrimental to the civic development Of
Pullmans one Of the earliest precon-
ceived industrial cities of the coun-
try, without failing to the haphazard
methods which have bred SO many in
conveniences in all cities Of the past.
The homes for the employees were
built with a proper consideration for
the health and comfort Of the occu-
pants. They could be purchased on
easy terms If desired. The parks
streets, recreation centers and other
adjuncts were well outlined. The pub,
lie schools have been recognized as the
best in the country, as Is evidenced by
the fact that New York city arranged
for the construction Of II schools after
the Gary pattern. They are to be built
and organized under the supervision OF
the Gary school superintendent.

Box Stall Is Urged.

More care Is required by the calv-
ing COW during the cooler weather
than is needed during the summer
months. says L. s., Gillette, acting head
Of the dairy husbandry department at
Iowa State college. Lack Of comfort
able quarters at this period has a d.
rect bearing on the milk flow of the
period following.
The main things to be considered
are the health and. comfort of the
COW and calf, which are closely related.
A large, reomy box stall is probably
the best place for the cow at this time.
Very light feed is needed and the wa
ter given should not be ice cold.
Assistance should be given the COW
at parturition If necessary and due
precautions taken to prevent her from
retaining her afterbirth. If it is re-
tanned 1t may be removed, thereby pre-

good dairy cows have a large barrel
and a large capacity udder. The udder
should be attached high behind and ex-
tend well up toward the belly. The
width Of the udder should be as great
az possible. One should look carefully
for the mammary development in the
dairy COW. This consists Of large veins.
which extend along the abdomen from
the udder towards the front limbs.
The veins should be large, crooked,
branching out, extending well towards
the front legs and entering the body
through large holes called milk wells.
Such a cow should pay her way and
produce the largest amount Of milk
from a given quantity Of food.

gone and there is need Of not only
overcoming the habit acquired during
these many years Of tree destitution.
but the. habit Of planting and setting
out trees should be encouraged and
inculcated at every opportunity. Trees
increase the attractiveness of the high

the best condition to make good gains
from their grain feed.
1t pays to- feed grain on pasture, for
pasture alone will do little more than
keep up a pigs weight. A light to
medium grain ration is usually most
profitable. About two or three pounds
Of grain a day is a good ration for
shoats Weighing eighty to n hundred

your pigs occasionally and feed about
three pounds Of grain daily for each

Good rations for summer feeding are
easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa OF

skim milk. On blue grass or timothy
pasture feed three pounds Of skim
milk to each two pounds Of corn
More milk would do no harm. Il
skim milk is not at hand, 1t will pay
