Aviator Thrills 10000
People With Stunts
(Continucd Nom nage onel

Continued from page one)
Lieut.. Rbinson admitted he came
within an ace Of hitting the steeple.
Another stunt that made ones hair
stand up straight came when he
coasted toward the river and flew so
low that he almost touched the water.
When he approached the Summervlle
BRIDGE, Mr.. Merrill threw up his
hands in dispair, thinking the plane
would surely strike, but Pilot Rob
inson cleverlv shot her cover the top"
in safety, although it was a very close
shave. He cut the corners of some of
the BUILDINGS pretty close and many
Of the onlookcrs believed the plane
would crash any minute.
A sccon exhibition was given by
the popular "birdman" over Grady
field on the PtssumpSic road on Sun
daV ,aftenoon ALTHOUGH the weather
condition were so unfavorable that
Pilot Robinsn did not attempt any
very danoeIus stunts, confnin" him
self mostly 70 loops and spiralS. De-
spite the cold dgeary dav several hun
dred 0eople were on hand at the field
to witness the stunts and all stayed
until the fun was yer. Seven passen-
gers were taken up in the course of
the afternoon and two of these asked
for stunts. They got them-and
plent of them.
The weather on Sunday was any
thing but pleasant and the aviator
found it very damp uo in the clouds
in addition to it also being very cold.
|. However, he as well as all of the
passengers we're heavily bundled up
and they got through very nicely.
The crowds were immensely pleased
with the stunts gone through
On Saturday, Pilot Robinson, took
Ferdinand Dubois, aged 70, for Il
u minute flight through the air. Mr..
Dubois, who is the oldest employe ut
the Ely's Fork and Hoe plant, is
also the Oldest passenger that has
been up with Lieut.. Robinson. The
expenses Of the trip were paid by fell
low employees. all of whom made the
tlip to the field in big truck in order
to see Mr.. Ferdinand go up. Nh
Dubois was very enthusiastic
over his experience and declared he
would like to 90 again. Its the best
fun ever had" he said
Among those who made flights on
Sunday were A. w. Wakefield, Err
nest Lafel1iere, Paul Hurley, Hugh
Macdonald. Louis King Fred Bedard
and Miss Theda Colley. Lafel1iere

Miss Corley also had a few.

Mayor Gardner Anxious
to Complete Park Work

In an effort to complete the work
to be done on the Park before cold
weather sets in, Mayor James 7.
Gardner of Newport earnestly re-
quests those who have offered help in
either the form of labor or of trucks
to report to George Bailey, superln-
tendent of streets, as soon as possible.
Mr.. Bailey will set the men to work
as soon as they desire, and in order
to facilitate matters, it is suggested
that all reprt a dav or so ahead in or
der that the superintendent of streets
may plan to have a certain number OF
men at work constantly.
Six trucks and drivers have been
generously donated to work a week

/ already donated and worked nine
DAYS. The Frost Veneer Co., has
given Mayor instructions to hire q
truck week and bring the bill to
them Other trucks are prepared to
work Just as soon as there is work
for thin.
Therefore, in order to derive the
maximum use from the trucks, it is
imperative that all who have offered
manual labor in the pubic spirited
work of beautifving the Park, report
immediately to the Superintendent of
streets In al rs days work has been
offered in this splendid public service.
It is also necessary tha%theSe men
report as soon as possible. because
the City has promised to remove some
dirt from the Catholic gravel pit. This
earth must he caltod awav in the i'm
mediate future All who have Signi-
fed an intention to work should re-
nort at once to Mr.. Bailey.

Pittsburgh Industrial Plants
Have Trained Force to
Plan Outings.

PITTSBURGH. September S.-More
than 100000 persons have this year
attended the picnics given by indus
trial concerns in Pittsburgh to their
employees, according to the estimates
of amusement park managers. and
number Of the most important are
yet to be held.
Arrangements for these great
gatherings of workmen and their
families are on a colossal scale and
carried out by an efficient organiza-
ton of trained engineers and once
men. 1t occasionally happens, as In
the case of the Clarion plant of the
Carnegie Steel Company. that no pic
mic ground was available. So the
engineers selected a nice bit of virgin
forest not far from the town, built
good roads in and through it. erected
merry-go-rounds and other tradi-
tional amusement devices. built re-
freshment booths and dancing plat
form and when the thousands OF steel
workers and their families reached
the place for days enjoyment they
found it as complete as if it had been
standing for years.
Figures Arc Staggering.
The quantity of provisions required
for the entertainment of a big plants
workers astonishes those who know
little of such enterprises.
At one industrial picnic held here
recently three tons of beef and four
tons of boiled ham were required for
the sandwiches. Five thousand loaves
ing fifty hours to cut it to size.
For the $4,000 persons who attend
ed this picnic there were issued $4,000
free tickets for park amusements;
$4,000 American flags and 10000 toy
balloons for children were distrib-
uted and $4,000 souvenir buttons were
given to the workers and their fam
lilies, while $4,000 knives, forks
spoons and plates were sent to the
grounds for the picnic supper.
To provide this feast the company
gave $4,000 pickles. $4,000 rolls. 5000
pounds of baked beans. $500 pounds
of coffee, $4,000 pounds Of frank
furters and 1900 gallons of ice cream
The food was cooked in an oven erect
ed on the ground by the company's
workmen.
Many Big Outings.
While this was one of the largest
picnics of the year. a number of
others have eQualed it, and many
more have come within striking dis
lance.
Mill managers and corporation exec
utives look upon the industrial pic
mic as one of their best weapon.
against unrest, and gladly give te
their employees the day for enjoy
ment. while bearing all the expenses,
in many instances even to transpor-
tation to and from the parks.

NEW YORK. September S-Fifty of
the one hundred Russian refugee boys
who escaped yesterday from Fort Wads-
worth, Staten Island, were still at large
early today. Red Cross officials under
whose care the children are being re-
turned to their homes in Russia, police
and civilians were making a search of
the island for the fugitives.
the escape was believed by the police
to have been aided by bolshevist SYM
pathizers. who. since the retention of
the children here. are alleged to have
spread propaganda among them against
their being taken to Russia through
France. Red Cross officials. however,
believe that the escape was simply a
boyish desire to see the sights of New
York.
Jealous Staten Island citizens. wishing
to aid in the capture of the boys. seized
scores OF native children, not knowing
that the refugees were unable to speak
English. The native children were held.

LONDON, September s.-A reporter
for a London newspaper, who consid-
ers himself an epicure. has just An
ished an extensive study Of London
restaurants and reached the conclu-
sion that English restaurant cooking
has degenerated to an extent almost
unbelievable.
He complained that he could not find
a good old-fashioned English steak,
that a juicy mutton chop with a
piece of kidney attached was diff
cult to obtain. that the pastry OF the
meat pies the Englishman loves so
well no longer is light and fluffy and
that the omnfpresent jellies lacked
their old-time taste.

favorite places owing to increase in
prices and because they disliked to
dine near people who do not appre-
ciate perfectly prepared food and who
never seem to assimilate the atmos-

May Ask Purchase
of State Bonus II,
Robert ]. Swift Post to Attempt to
Solve Problem of Delayed
Payment

An attempt to solve the problem
of the delayed payment of soldier
bonus to ex-service men of Sank Gen.
tire, will. be made soon by the men,
bers of Robert J. Swift Post Amer
lean Legion.
There are still a number of Sank
Centre soldiers who have not erecelv-
ed their state bonus money, many OF
whom are in need of these funds.
Under the present status Of af-
fairs, it is probable that these men
will not receive this money for some
time to come unless active steps are
taken in their behalf.
In view of the fact that in many
communities, local banking houses
and individuals are buying up these
state bonds, the members of the 10
cal post feel that method OF pay.
! ment might be reached in this man.
ner.
All that is asked is that local
banking institutions and business
men, purchase enough of these bonds
to insure the payment of local boys:
Sank Centre bankers interviewed
lastt week are bit skeptical on the
subject of bonus bonds. These, they
say, pay but per cent interest," and
are not good business proposition
as the money market stands today.
However, these institutions express
ed a willingness to cooperate with
the Legion and give such substantial
aid to these soldiers as may be adj
visable.
At the next meeting of Robert
Swift Post, the matter of this bonus
will be taken up with a view to aid
in the purchase of such bonds as
will be necessary to meet the local
requirements.

From the closet he brought out his
suitcase and the suit that he had worn
on his arrival I'm town. Next came a
rummage through the dresser and
closet to restore to the suitcase the
articles that had been taken from 1t.
Some he could not find.
He dressed himself In the suit so
neatly tailored by old rillie, and
glanced around the room, preparatory
to closing the suitcase. The hairbrush,
lying on~ the floor where he had
dropped 1t, caught his eye. He picked
1t up and gazed at 1t several moments.
He then went to the mantel, where

He looked at Amy, smiled and
strolled over to gaze at a photograph
In the far corner of the room. Amy
glided after him, to stand by his side
and fondle his hand In silent SYM
pathy. Ellen looked longingly at the
couple. but fingered to hear what her
father was saying to the official.
"This charge of conspiracy clearly
indicates his delusional predisposition.
You have my word, sir, that he was
and is mentally irresponsible for his
actions, in the full legal senses Of the
term"
The official looked his concern. "Sor-
ry. doctor, but In the case of a war
rant"
"Very true" agreed the physician.
He must be kept In custody, unless
admitted to bail. That does not pre-
vent you from deputizing me and plac-
ing him In my custody. What he re-
quires is sanitarium treatment. Con-
inement in jail would probably shat
ter his mind beyond all hope of recov-
cry. The sanitarium, on the con-
trary, may restore him to his old self
and enable him to remember how he
lost the bonds"
BENIN smiled suavely at the police
official. "Ah. In that case venture
to request you to accede to Doctor
Kirkland's suggestion, l feel sure you
may safely intrust Mr.. Lowrie In his

responsibility Of deputizing Doctor
Kirkland and entrusting the prisoner

for It; but considering the circum-
stances and the fact that the doctor
has often helped out the department
with expert advice. I'll risk It."
The physician bowed in acknowledge
