Aviator Cook Injured at
Fair Grounds.
Machine Beyond Control
In AIighting.
Had Made a Beautiful Flight
At High Altitude.

flights at the Sequatchie Valley
Fair at South Pittsburg Wednes-
day. Thursday, and Friday of
last week, aviator Clifton W.
Cook crashed against the
fence around the race track at
the fair grounds at South Pitts
burg Saturday evening just after
finishing the loftiest flight to
which he had scared. He re-
ceived a broken hip and minor
injuries, while the machine was
only slightly injured.
Owing to a strong wind blow
ing, Mr.. Cook did not attempt his
flight until about four o'clock,
going up while the auto race
was in progress. The breeze had
died down and conditions seemed
to be ideal. He scared very high,
much higher than on previous
days, possibly to avoid any air
currents from the swiftly flying
automobiles beneath him, ma
chimes which were speeding at
about seventy miles an hour. He
reached an altitude which ap-
proximated the height of Cumber-
land mountain near him and cir
cled thus over the fair grounds
twice in wide circle. In closing
his second time around his aerial
racecourse he descended in a
swift plane, making his final dip
to land in the centre of the fair
grounds just over the Woman's
Building. His machine seemed
to gain speed as it rushed down
and on first contact with the the
ground leaped high into the air,
bounding and rebounding over
the grass as it raced madly on
towards the further end of
of the field. Heretofore in his
flights he had experienced no
difficulty in landing, and the men
stationed to catch the moving
machine and impede it's progress
thad no difficulty in so doing. In
this case, however, the machine
seemed to elude them, passing
the nearest man by fully fifty
feet, and tearing on in its course
to the fence. 1t was thought by
the multitude which witnessed its
mad dash that the aviator would
rise on his planes and clear the
fence, which would have enabled
him to land in an adjoining field
in safety, but to their consterna-
ton, and the terror of many, the
machine crashed up against the
fence. throwing rails into the air
and breaking off two posts. 1t
landed in the roadway, not cross
ing the second fence. Mr.. Cook
sat rigidly in his seat and seemed
powerless to move. A wild dash
was made by numbers of
spectators to his relief and those
arriving to his assistance first
found him sitting strapped to his
seat and suffering great pain.
Physicians on the grounds pro-
nounced his injuries while pain
full as not serious, and he was re-
moved in an automobile to the
hospital at Richard City. Later
he was removed to Chattanooga
where X-ray examination showed
that his hip was broken. Mr..

Young Man Was Not Sure as to Size
but Was Willing to Take

Into mems furnishing store
stepped a young man warily, almost
timidly. He lacked the air of con-
fidence of the man who is about to
purchase a tie or handkerchief or a
collar. Eagerly the genial floorwalk-

tive customers first words explained
everything.

dazedly at the rows of shirt boxes.

some of those near-silk ladies' coat
sweaters?"
He would, he certainly would, and
when he found a man in charge at the
sweater counter he became almost
himself again. The sweater idea
seemed to strike him favorably. and
for several minutes he inspected color
combinations and felt fabrics. Finally
the clerk dropped him into hot water
again.
About what size does the young
lady wear?"
1t was poser and entirely unex-
pected. The young man gazed at a
dummy figure on which a sweater coat
was displayed, then walked up to 1t,
circled It with his arm, and nodded:
