COLUMBIA RETURNS
 ID LONG ISLAND
tContinued from First Pagc)
Takes Air

Roosevelt Field. N. Y., June tP The single motored monoplane Columbia took to the air today on the first leg Of another transatlantic flight and this time is carried q woman as passenger.
 Last summer the Columbia sprung into fame as a transatlantic pas senger plane when Clarence Cham berlin flew il 10 Germany with Charles A. Levine as a passenger.
 On the presen, flight there are two pilots, Oliver Le Boutillier and Ar thur Angles and Miss Mable Boil is the passenger.
 Leave At 6;1l \. M.
 The Columbia took the air on its latest venture at G:l4 daylight time his morning with Old Orchard, 270 miles away, as its immediate des- tination.
 There the tanks will be fucled 10 capacity and a take-otf for Europe made as weather permits.
 Miss Boil hopes to beat Miss Amelia Earhart now waiting Tn New tsundland to make similar attempt Few people saw the take-oft this morning, not more than 100 being scattered about the field, and most of them were reporters.
 Mother Present
 Mrs Josephine Boil, elderly mother of The Queen oi pla- monds," as Miss Boil is popularly known. was with her daughter until the plane took to the air and eN- pressed entire confidence in the sue cess Of the flight,
 After the Columbia left Levine and Mrs. Boil prepared to follow m a cabin plane to accompany the ocean fiars 10 Old Orchard.
 There was little ceremony about todays take-off. Levine arrived at he field with the fliers just at dawn and within an hour the toiulhpla was in the air, The take-or was made without apparent dllllcunN although the plane did not rise as quickly as observers expected.
 Ii was well above the ground as II passed over the gully where 'aptun Rene ronck's plane was wrecked two years ago at the start ol an ocean flight.
 Ie Boutilier told reporters pt- fore the take-off that while II Nouia be "very nice" to beat Miss Earhaf' across the ocean, the 1llghl ol the columbia was not a race.
 "We are going to take every pre- caution" he said, and we won | De stanpeled into leaving before lhil'sS are right. But we hope to get oil irst.
 Levine Drives Back
 After the Columbia left Levine d'- c;ded not to follow immediately ana drove back to New York with Mrs Boil. o,, n.
 He said he would fly to Old or- chsrd late this afternoon Wieh Mrs' Boil. and that probably Bert Acos'a would pilot the plane.
 II would pilot it myself he sa'a .but Mrs. Roll is going along, so 1on't believe il would be safe.
 Miss Boil and her two man cfeN were accompanied in the 'o'ul'ip'' by Andrew Surini, mechanic "h' will tune up the plane at old VT chard. He will not make the ocea' iul

Laundering Wooden Frocks
BY LYDIA LIZ BARON WALKER.
be taken into &C.

even there 1t has to be taken into &C
count.
There are plenty of wooden materials
that wash like cotton cloth. and 1t is
these that are recommended, for they
can be kept in as fresh condition by
careful laundering as can the regulation
wash goods. There are also many ready
to-wear dresses that can be had in such
weights and In tub wool Some OF them
are all wool, and others have some mix
ture of silk in with the wool.
It is an easy matter to And out before
hand whether yard goods will tub per-
fectly, for sample or small length,
such as an eighth OF a yard, can be put
to the test but in ready-to-wear frockS
the word of the sales person has to be
taken. However, 1t is wise before
laundering an entire dress to try out
some portion. such as a belt, AT least
this will show whether the color runs.
1t is to be expected that some color viii
come out. 1t is only when so much does
that the shade of the goods is altered
that harm results.
Recently / had occasion TO have a
lightweight wool two-piece suit put to
the severe test OF having the coat-style
blouse portion Numbered without the
skirt. Though the skirt was not soiled,
I expected that both parts would have
to be done, or some slight change in
tone might be noticeable in the en-
semble. To my great satisfaction not
the slightest difference In tone resulted
The methods which make such launder-
ing safe are described below:
First it is important to make a good
lather OF luke-warm water and to wash
wooden frocks in 1t without rubbing soap
on the fabric directly. Care must also
be used not to rub the material hard,
as that may push and pull the strands
in the weave and cause blemishes
Holes would scarcely be made, but ir-
regularities in the weave can be caused.
These may be but slightly noticeable.
but the fabric is weakened. as well as
the weave altered. Be sure to rinse the
frock in water of q temperature the
same as that in which it was washed.
Wooden frocks should be ironed be-
fore they get dry. in fact while they are
very damp, and they must either be
pressed on the wrong side throughout
or be ironed under q smooth cloth.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 81, l7ss.-Georgetown will be
made the port Of entry for imports for
the whole region lying along the east
side of the Potomac River from Po-
munky Greek. Maryland. to the head
of the navigable waters, following the
passage of an act of Congress today
providing for the collection OF customs
duties on imports and certain exports:
Alexandria city will be the port OF
entry for the region lying on the west
side Of the river.
The commercial importance OF those
portions of Maryland and Virginia ~
ing along the Potomac River, both be-
low and above the Falls, is rapidly
increasing. The back country in the
vicinity of the upper reaches OF the
river. especially between the Falls and
the section lying near Hagerstown and
Frederick, Md. Is being rapidly settled
by farmers. Much Of the grain and
other farm products raised In this re-
gion goes to Baltimore. and much OF IL
comes to the port Of Georgetown. In
like manner the Virginia back country
is developing along agricultural lines,
and Alexandria's Importance as COM
mercial center is thereby being greatly
enhanced.
Many persons believe that George
town Is destined TO be the chlef COM
mercial city of this entire section. sur
passing both Alexandria and Baltimore.
1t is farther up the river. and therefore
nearer to the back country than Alex
andria, and yet 1t has free access TO the
sea. It Is also much closer TO the back
country than Baltimore.
Georgetown Is already the best TO-
bacco market in Maryland, and Thomas
johnson of Frederick, Md, recently de-
clared that 1t was perhaps the best TO-
bacco port In America.
There has been diminution In the
trade OF the merchants of Baltimore
and Alexandria recently while business
in Georgetown has doomed. The latter
place Is fiourishing beyond the most
sanguine hopes of Its residents.
The exports Of Georgetown two years
after the peace with England in 1898
exceeded those of Alexandria, and they
are now about half those OF Baltimore.
Merchants and others who are inter
ested In the growth OF Georgetown say
that 1t Is much more conveniently To-
Gated than Baltimore TO the greatest
quantity OF grain. -four and tobacco in
Maryland and Virginia, and will there
fore soon have greater exports than
that city.

there arrived one day young doctor.
The ink had scarcely dried on MS

They had what is known as established

he carried his medical kit. 1t was not

Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs. C.-Squinting or cross-eye (tech-
meal name strabismus) Is caused by
different things; among them paralysis
of the nerve in certain of the eye mus
Giles for some reason. such as from some
Inflammation in the brain, or some
trouble in the nerves along their course;
from acute poisoning and injuries; acute
rheumatism and other infectious dis
eases, occasionally goiter, and even auto
intoxication may cause 1t. Occasionally
there are structural defects Of the mus
Giles which one Is born with--congenital
cross -eye, In other words. There may
also be a paralysis of the eye muscles
due to a reflex irritation. so 1t Is pos
sible that the trouble with your teeth
may be a cause in your case, Mrs. C.
However. you should see an oculist I'M
mediately to determine the cause, be-
fore you can expect any relief.
The longer the squint remains. the
harder 1t Is, of course, to cure by means
other than an operation. The things
that are used, aside from operations,
are properly fitted glasses, exercise OF
the scuinted eye by covering up the
other eye, and special exercises given
through special instruments.
The operative treatment may be done
under local anesthesia. II you DO not
know the eye specialists in your town,
ring up your county medical society
and ask for list of them.

Eve Troubles which gives q formula

rules for obtaining material we offer

Food Idiosyncrasies.
There are some foods, perfectly
wholesome to most, that will cause
eruptions and perhaps some other un-
favorable symptoms in few. This also
applies to certain indications and other
substances. The person so affected Is
then said to have an idioSyncrasy to
that food or substance.
Miss B. evidently has an idiosyncrasy
to eggs, and she wants to know II there
Is any way in which they can be pre-
pared so this could be overcome.
So far as know. there Is no way to
prepare eggs or other foods in the usual
amounts taken that will overcome the
idiosyncrasy to them. 1t may go away
of itself after a while. Occasionally
the tolerance to foods may be eStab-
lished by beginning to take them in
very small portions. say. less than a
teaspoonful and gradually increasing
the size of the portion day by day.

Text: Every man shall bear his own
burden.''-Gal., Wis.
We each have some burden to bear.
And the burden assigned to every man
is the burden best suited to him. To
test this out, suppose you could ex-
change burdens with another? With
whom would you exchange? Whose
burden would you rather have than
your own? Having made the exchange,
how much happier would you be?
Read in Addison's Spectator his
chapter on THE Mountain of Miseries."
In this chapter the great essayist pic
lures dream. Jupiter has issued
proclamation that every mortal should
bring his griefs and woes on certain
day and throw them together in heap.

throwing down their several loads in
pile. which grew rapidly into prodi-
giouS mOuntain--a massive bulk OF
troubles, Affections, sorrows disappoint-
mentS and all manner of human mis-
cries.
Then a second edict came forth from
| Jupiter that as every one had to have
some burden there was to be an ex-
| change. and each must take back with
| him the burden Of another in place of
| the one cast away. Some who brought
sickness went away with poverty Some
who brought poverty went away with a

ran. And the whole plain was filed
with murmuring and discomfort Every
one was dissatisfied and felt that his
new burden was worse than the old one
And I learned lesson says the great
