control, but had merely electrified an
other crowd with his famous falling
leaf dive. He ended his first drop with
a series of loop-the-loops and nose
dives and then few off in the distance
upside down. .
After he had sent shivers up and
down the spine of 80 per cent of the
SPECTATORS he circled low over the out
living hills, shut off his engine and
coasted to within twenty feet of the
place where he was supposed to land.
Everyone started to rush forward. In
a second Flachaire realized that to
make a landing while so many spec
tators were on the field would be
dangerous, so he started his engine,
and, without touching the ground rose
like a giant "darning needle" flying
barely twenty feet above the heads
of the amazed throng. ..
AS he passed over the crowds he
leaned from the cockpit of hich ma
chine, his face wreathed in smiles,
waved his hand gaily to his spectators
and started climbing into the clouds
again with the speed of a bullet. For
fully twenty minutes more he did his
stunt flying, illustrating the maneu-
vers used in bringing down the Ger
man machines.
Signals Not to Land.
The second time Flachaire flew near
the ground he signaled to Colonel
George St. George LOTUS Steele head
of the British recruiting mission anC
asked if he should land. Realizing
the difficulty the police would have il
handling the crowds. Colonel Steele
signaled him not to make a landing.
AS soon as he understood that hi
was not to make a landing Flachair<
arose to a great height, pointed thu
nose Of his machine towards League
Island and was away like a shot
amidst the shouting Of spectators ant
the footing of thousands of automo'
bile horns.
Among the distinguished spectators
of the flight were Admirals Benjamin
[Tappan and James M. Helm, U. S. N.
and Brigadier General L~ittleton, w. T
Waller of the United States marine
corps, and Major J.. Kearsley Mitchell

FLYING ACE THRILLS
PHILADELPHIA CROWD
Famous French Airman's Spec.
tacular Flight Witnessed by
DR.. M. D. HOyt.

DR.. Mark D. Hoyt had the good for
tune to witness the flight of George
Flachaire, the famous ace, who gave
a wonderful flying exhibition at Phil
adelphia on Easter Sunday. The fol-
lowing report of the flight appeared !
the Monday morning issue OF the
Philadelphia Inquirer: ooo
Before a crowd estimated at lOO,VoV
persons, George Fachaire, Frence ace,
did all the stunts known to avlators
and some that had not heretofore been
shown in this city in an exhibition
flight yesterday afternoon over the
Belmont plateau, Paramount Park.
Hundreds of automobiles fringed the
field and thousands of young women
clad in their Easter inery gave color
to the throng.
It had been announced that Flach-
aire would fly at 4 o'clock. At one
minute past the hour a tiny black
SPOT. no larger than a crow was
sighted towards the southeast. In q
few seconds it grew larger and it could
be seen that the intrepid French air
man was on time.
He was flying at an altitude of
about 1000 feet, yet the day was SO
perfect and the crowd so quiet that
his engine could be heard distinctly.
Does Famous Falling Leaf Dive.
Flaictaire reached a spot directly
over the field. Then there was a cry
of horror as his machine was seer ia
turn its nose to the ground and start
falling. The biplane instead Of drop
ping like the traditional plummer,
darted swiftly from side to side and
this fact added an extra thrill to the
extraordinary performance. When
within about 500 feet of the ground II

LEXICON.

In a communicating trench, where
the trench is %broadened and dug in a
square, leaving the center untouched.
This island is about eight feet by
twelve feet, with the longer side fac
ing down the communicating trench.
This serves two purposes: az de-
fense-as the island affords an excel
lent protection for a machine gun
sweeping the approach from the fire
trench and thus covering men who
may be driven from the front line in
an attack, and (2) as a kind of switch,
by which men going up to the front
may pass those coming back with less
difficulty than in the narrow stretches
Of the trenches.
Flying Traverse:
A roof of sod, gravel and earth,
built over the communicating trench
for a distance of perhaps twelve feet.
The sod and earth are effective cam
outage, and the distance Of the trav-
erse from the ire-trench is such that
the entrance to this protected portion
Of the communicating trench, is Just
out of range of vision of German out
posts across No-Man's Land, and in
stead Of seeing soldiers going under
this false roof, they see only the
roof and cannot distinguish it from
the rest Of the ground. while air
plane scouts cannot distinguish it
from above.

YARN COST EXPLAINED
BY HIGH WOOL PRICES

Considerable complaint has been
voiced by various chapters at the high
cost of yarn as compared with the
prices paid for wool.
When analysed, however, W. sa,, the me- d Is
cost Of yarn does not seem 50 start
ling. It must be borne in nina that
the average shrinking Of wool in clean
ing and refining is 60 per cent. Then
the cost of cleaning, transportation
and refining must be paid, together
with the cost of manufacture into yarn
and the transportation of the yarn.
It takes about 2k pounds of raw wool,
Montana grade, to make one pound of
wool ready for spinning and carding.
Thus, while the price Of yarn is un-
deniably high, it is not so much high
er than the price paid for wool, as it
would seem at first glance at market
quotations.
