Giving the people OF this city spec
tacle such as they have never seen
before within their own borders. Sam
uel f. Perkins, OF Boston aeronaut OF
national reputation, started a demon
stratlon of man-carrying yesterday.
He has established his headduarters
on the roof Of the Smith-IOllinger
store. Fourth and Market streets,
from which he proposes giving his oN-
hibition OF flying these man-carry.ng
kites each afternoon the weather is
favorable The kites attracted the at
tention Of thousands OF Wilmington
ians yesterday and doubtless will
daily. The kites are bound TO create
a sensation when they soar over the
city 1000 feet in the air.
Mr.. Perkins has spent most OF the
twenty-nine years Of his life IN the
very fascinating occupation OF flying
kites. He has made IL an occupation
and profitable one. having flown
kites from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and back again. AS a boy, he haunted
the Blue Hill observatory, where he
obtained his first training from o. H.
Clayton. who is now in the Argentine
government weather service. lie
studied chemistry at the Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology. from which
he graduated in 1909. but has never
made use OF his education except as
he could apply what he learned to his
chosen vocation.

A pimply face will not embarrass you

Cleanse the blood, the bowels and the

the successful substitute for calomel-
there's never any sickness or pain after
taking them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just as effec-

safe instead of severe and irritating.
No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with "a dark brown taste"

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with

government. In 1910 he left St Louis
in the German balloon Dusseldorf,
which was the winner OF the second
prize in the international balloon
race. He was on this occasion Ameri-
can aide to Lieutenant Hans Gericke'
who was killed in the war year or
more ago.
Mr.. Perkins is the man who first
brought out the man-carrying KITE.
They were demonstrated in Amer
lea for the first time by him at the
Harvard-Bos aero meet. In those
days aeroplanes could not go up on
strong days and It was in such
weather that Mr. Perkins was right
in his element and his kites proved
as much of an attraction as the by
planes and monoplanes.
Since that time he has been tour
ing the country exhibiting his kites
at different aero meets. He demon
strated to government officials the
possibilities which the man-carrying
kites offered for spOtting am unseen
enemy and directing fire from the
guns OF the craft. The demonstra-
tions we're made on the cruiser Penn
sylvania and were entirely satisfac-
! tory but the government is yet TO
adopt the kites for purposes OF war.
Mr. Perkins is now under contract
TO the manufacturers of Congoleum
rugs and will remain here all this
week. giving daily exhibitions of kite
] flying from the roof OF the Smith-Zol
! linger store. Special showings OF
these rugs will he made at this store
and banners will be displayed alofl
advertising the rugs.

Courage Main Asset of Fighter;
Yellow Streak Loses Many Battles

What is successful boxers greatest
asset
Is it his speed, his punch his ability
to assimilate punishment
Glance over the boxing records since
John l.. Sullivan was in his prime and
you will come TO the conclusion that the
greatest asset n fighter can have is
courage.
He must have a punch and speed TO
some extent, but with these to a super
lative degree he viii never get anywhere
if he hasn't the courage.
A yellow streak has ruined many a
prospective champion and the wise man
ager always tries to find out whether
a fighter has strong heart before he
takes chance with him.
Fred Fulton was the logical man TO
meet jess Willard for the heavyweight
title until he met Carl Morris. Had he
been possessed of the heart of Jack Dill
lon. say, it is not beyond probability
that his star in the fstic world would
now be shining brighter than ever.
But Fulton didn't have the heart
Now he's has-been.
Bomhadier Wells, a clever boxer and
hard hitter. lacked the determination
necessary to n champion and never rose
above mediocrity.
AL Reich. Jack O'Brien and others in
the heavyweight ranks showed promise
only to have their aspirations throttlcd
by their lack of heart
Had Charley White possessed tho
heart of Willie Ritchie, Ad Wolgast ol
| Battling Nelson he would undoubtedly
have won the lightweight championship
But when the critical moment came IN
his bouts with Welsh and Ritchie, he
was not there
Wolgast and Nelson had the real fight

FIRESTONE COMPANY HAS
STOCK DISTRIBUTION plan

An important page of history in
American business has just been
made by the Firestone Tire and Rub
Der Company, Akron. Ohio. With the
winding up OF the books on the plan
Of stock distribution inaugurated by II.
s. Firestone, president OF the COM
pany, the records show that over 80
per cent. OF the employees responded
heartily to the investment offer made.
Out OF 12.500 employees, II 900 are now
stockholders in the company.
The sweeping acceptance of the plan
by the organization has stirred up the
keenest interest among industrial eX-
perts because OF its strikingly original
features.
For example. the stock allotted, ap-
proximately S3,000,000 worth, was dis
tributed on the basis OF length OF ser
vice-not on the usual basis OF salary
earned. In short, the sweeper or the
shoveller got more than the high ex-
ocutive II he had served longer. up to
period OF five years All who had
been employed over five years were on
an equal basis.
This arrangement meant an adjust
ment Of longtime payments to enable
those making the lowest salaries tc
get the maximum amount OF stock
Those who wish, OF course, can pay for
the stock. Immediately, but the mini
mum installmont necessary on a one
thousand dollar purchase, for instance
Is only $3.50 per month. The stock
was sold TO employees at 500 pei
share. while the market price quota
tion is S145 per share.
The agreement provides that the
company shall hold the stock for five
years. after which time. il all paid for
the certificate of stock passes wholly
into tho hands Of the employe, whether
he or she remains longer with the

Ray, OF Blockton, Ala. Continuing. he says,
Physicians cannot even begin the treat

until they could no longer stand on
their feet. George Lavigne was another
of this type.
Fighters like Kid Carter. Bob Fitzsim-
mons and Tom Sharkey were never de-
feated until they were knocked uncon-
scious
George CLANCY never had a chance to
defeat Johnny Kilbane. lie lost his
nerve before he stepped into the ring and
Kilbano defeated him with ease.
Billy Papke should have been one of
our greatest middleweight champions
He was a greater fighter than Ketchell
but Ketchall on two occasions outgamed
and defeated him.
Boxing records are replete with such
incidents. A fighter must have courage
TO become a champion.

COURT ADVANCES
 HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT CASE

Little Rock, June 12.-The Supreme Court has advanced and set for hear ing June 25 the cases involving the validity of the Arkansas-Lo Louisiana Highway Improvement District and Jackson County District No. 3. It is contended by the opponents of the Arkansas-Louisiana district that the act of the last legislature creating the district is unconstitutional. because the act contains a different descrip- tion of some of the property in the district, and also that the location of the public road to be improved is not accurate; also that the legislature has no power to create road district im- proving lands in more than one coun- ty; that the legislature has no right to create a district including lands in more than one county, for the purpose of improving road in more than one county and assessing the benefits in more than one county. The whole at tack IS on the constitutionality of the act of the legislature creating the dis trict, and there are no questions in- volved except the question of the validity of the act under our consti- tuition.

COSSACKS ARE LOYAL

Petrograd, June II, via London.- Energetic support of the provisional government by the Cossacks has been pledged by their delegate to the con- gress of peasants, M. Kuban.

He said that the Cos sacks would not hesitate to use arms if the government required it.
