too, theater-goers are glad TO escape
from crook plays, musical comedies

but whatever the cause may be, the
fact is that the spirit of the comedy
is decidedly contagious and ccn1-

To Take saby,s Picture.

Anyone who has tried it knows it is
q difficult task to take an indoor pic
ture of an active child. By placing
the subject near sunny window, but
not in the direct sunlight, and with a
sheet fixed at one side, high enough
so that ii reaches above the subjects
head, good results may be obtained. If
the child sits on the floor, the sheet
will be h gh enough thrown over two
chairs.

fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.

stops instantly. Zerno is a safe, anti
septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $1.0O. It will not stain, is

AIRPLANE FALLS
AND is WRECKED
Accident in Springfield (Vt.), But No
body is Hurt-Struck Air Pocket
After Rising 200 Feet
Especial to The Reformer.)

SPRINGFIELD, July 7.
Upon striking an air pocket Saturday
afternoon the airplane with which Eli
sign Z. A. Terhune of Swampscott,
Mass, made exhibition flights here July
4 was forced to earth with Aviator f.
H. Parker and passenger, Harry i.
Latin of this place, who was making a
flight with him. The machine was
wrecked, but no one was hurt beyond
few scratches.
Ensign Z. A. Terhune had been taking
passengers up all the morning, the first
being no less than the distinguished
artic explorer, Russell w. Porter, who
had been in the far north Ii times, once
or twice with Perry, and has survived
many hairbreadth experiences. The sec
ond was Mrs. Walter w Slack, wife of
the head of Gilman & Sons and chair
man of the Fourth of July committee
Then G. T. Sanderson, superintendent
of the Colonial Power & Light company
took a flight, and at this time Lieut.
f. H. Parker, who had been sent from
Boston, arrived on the grounds to re-
leve Ensign Terhune, who was getting
worn out with all that he had been
through in his hard trip of the previous
dav.
Lieutenant Parker is military avia-
tor of excellent record, and the fact that
the accident occurred on his fight in
no way reflects on his skill. Harry T..
Latin. secretary TO Hon. James Hart
ness, was his passenger, and when they
were about 200 feet from the ground
they struck an air pocket-a dead spot
made by meeting of two different cur
rents through which the machine
would not rise. Next an extra violent
downward current caught them and
forced the machine to earth.
Although strapped in their seats, both
men were thrown out, and Mr.. Latin
never knew what happened until he re-
vived on the ground. The plane was
broken in two just behind the rear
cockpit; the propeller was broken and
both wings were smashed. 1t was in
sured for all that it was worth and goes
to the scrap heap.
Had they not been so near the earth
Lieutenant Parker is confident that he
could have worked out of the current
without coming down, and no accident
would have occurred.
