July BUSY MONTH
FOR TRAVELLERS AID
Sixteen Nations Represented
Among 2,341 Persons
Helped by Society.

Sixteen nations were represented
among the 2,341 persons who were
given assistance by the Travellers Aid
Society during the month of July, when
the organizations workers performed
every kind of humanitarian deed from
helping an aged woman locate her train
to witnessing the marriage of an immi-
grant bride, according to the society's
report to the Community Chest.
July, II, was pointed out in the report,
Is particularly busy month by virtue
ing to and from the Capital. The 2.34l
instances OF assistance contrast strongly
with the 1908 aids given during Feb
ruary.
The persons assisted last month in
cluded / English, 2 Finnish, IA French,
6 German. 8 Greek. Irish, Jugoslav.
2 Mexican, l Polish, Portuguese.
Serbian, l Swedish, 2 Syrian and
Turkish travellers in addition to the vast
who reached Washington.
The society cared for 1911 children
who were travelling alone, "a adults with
small children, nine dependent nom
residents, "a persons who had difficulty
with the English language, eight too old
to travel alone, seven runaway children.
three unmarried mothers and eight
young people who were returned to
their homes. These were included in
the 2,34l eases" for July.
According to Mrs. Margaret Ford, ex-
ecutive director of the society, mental
cases" present the greatest problem
to the organizations workers. These
embrace such instances as that record

Boys Experiment
With Motor Types
To Propel Planes
Rocket, Spring and Com.
pressed Air Models Tried
to Prolong Flight.

Taking a tip from German expert
mentors, at least one OF the boys en-
tered in the District model aircraft
contest has begun the construction of
a rocket motor to propel his tiny plane.
and others are developing spring and
compressed air motors which they ex-
pect TO exceed the record set by rubber
band power plants for sustained flight.
Several of the models will be tried
out at the preliminary trials for the
tournament to be held on the Monu-
ment grounds Saturday.
The boys are reluctant to go into
detail regarding their experiments, be-
cause of desire to guard any new
discoveries, to keep them from being
copied by competitors.
Frank Salisbury, IA years old, residing
at Waverly Hills, Va. who will enter
Technical High School this Fall. is pre-
pairing a compressed air motor for a
trim little craft. He already holds four
unofficial records for several types OF
model aircraft.
Using thin sheet copper, Fran is
building a tank for compressed air. TO
be filled with an ordinary bicycle pump.
The air from the tank, operating a reg
ular motor, will flow out under COM
their pistonS connected with a neat
little crank shaft which will turn a Is
inch propeller to lift the craft.
With the device Frank expects to
make a fight of over 3 minutes with his
model aircraft. measuring A. inches
across wing and 80 inches from front to
rudder.
The outfit complete is to weigh only
6 ounces. the motor and Its equipment
calculated to weigh 4 ounces. The
lightness of the plane, without its
motor. is obtained by using special
kind of wood. neatly covered with Jap
anese tissue paper. Frank plans to try
out the plane at the preliminary con-
test in preparation for the aircraft
tournament on the Monument Grounds
Saturday, under the auspices of the
District of Columbia Model Aircraft
League.
Frank got his idea for the craft at
a model aircraft tournament at Atlantic
City last October.
Another successful experimenter with
unusual types is Robert Swope. Is years
old, of 3748 Huntington street. Chevy
Chase.
Robert has a spring model "motor,"
with the spring taking the place OF the
usual rubber band, which he expects 10

In court here yesterday as an explana-
ton of the alleged poison plot of Ray
Pennebaker. 22-year- Iowa tenant
dentally terminated in the death of a
6-year-old niece.
At the hearing in Justice Court PEN
nebaker was bound over to the Septem-
Der term of District Court without bail
for trial on charge Of murder.
Candy Poisoned.
County officials say the young farmer
has confessed giving poisoned candy to
his bride Of six weeks before she left
their home at Diagonal, Iowa, recently
to visit her sister, Mrs. c. c. Barnes,
here. Mrs. Pennebaker did not eat the
candy. but divided it among Mrs.
Barnes children, one of whom died.
Questioned briefly yesterday by coun-
sci for her husband. the bride was
asked on the witness stand whether
she knew a taxicab driver living near
the Pennebaker home in Iowa. The
witness answered in the negative and
the attorney dropped the interrogation
concerning the limited relationship
without disclosing anything further re-
garding a possible defense for Penne-
baker.
An attempt to prevent introduction of
the purported confession of the young
farmer failed. The confession was
challenged on the grounds that the de-
PENDANT was not represented by coun-
sci when the document was signed.
Gives No Reason.
In the confession Pennebaker gave
no reason for wishing to kill his wife.
IT made a mistake; why did I do it?''
was his only comment.
He has said consistently since his re-
turn here from Diagonal Friday after
the death of the little girl that there
was no trouble between himself and
his wife. The couple was married at
Mount AYR Iowa, June "a.

cooling drinks would be served to us.
Would we please walk over to the preSi-
Dental palace? We did so. We entered
a huge, Semi-modern. unlovely building,
decorated by myriads of little Kuomin-
tang and Nationalist flags, and in a
dim, hot, inner room we were served
with drinks that, II not cooling, were at
least wet. Then we went out and were
told that we were to walk back to where
we had left the cars. InaSmuch as the
entrance to the building was on the way
out for the cars we suggested that the
motors be brought to us. Excellent
idea. 1t should be acted upon at once.

FATE OUTSKIRTS COURTS
IN CASE AGAINST DOG
Farmer Kills Mother of Airedale
Accused of Killing Sheep and
Fatally Wounds Culprit.

BY the Associated Press.
LEXINGTON. KY. August 6.-Fate
has decided what justice, as repre-
sented by the courts. has not been able
to determine. the guilt of Jack Airedale
dog, valued at $500 by his owner, Mrs.
George Kergasner.
Jack, accused of killing sheep. had
been defendant in a series Of trials that
began last January in magistrates
court. His photograph was published
In newspapers over the country.
H. C. Downing, Fayette County
farmer. hearing a disturbance early
yesterday in his sheep pen, ran out
with his gun, fired three shots. killed
q 6-year -old Airedale. the mother of
Jack. and fatally injured Jack himself.
Three crippled sheep testified that the
two were killers.
Jacks case, continued under an order
from the Fayette Circuit Court last
January, had seemed destined to test
the validity Of the act Of 1918, which
provided the death penalty for sheep
killing dogs.

PEIPING. China,


So many things are happening here

almost in collapse from the intense
heat 1t would be foolish stretch OF

point of view it was perhaps a mag
nificent exhibition. From our view
point 1t was a dreary affair. The i'm
personation Of woman by Chinese
actor involves the employment Of a
falsetto voice, a droning Squall, I'M
pleasant to the western ear. There is
much slow walking about, much nap,
ping Of long sleeves. much painful
grimacing. The orchestra-this was an
operetta based upon an historic Incl
dent. the heroine being styled, in the
language of one of our guides, the Marie
Antoinette Of China--was seated on the
stage and blared and squawked from
time to time with the effect Of COM
pletely drowning the voices OF the per-
formers. There was an emperor with
false beard which was set good three
inches out from his face. There was a
general with another false beard, also
at a distance from his chin, who strut
ted about and half drew his sword and
slammed it back into its scabbard with
a clang that the orchestra accentuated.
He was demanding that the heroine, the
favorite wife of the emperor, be put to
death to appease the rebels who were
descending upon the city. He had his
way. As a compromise, however, the
heroine hanged herself. evidencing this
deed by placing white scarf on a
tree and then walking off stage. Finally
there was a vision Of heaven, with an
apotheosis grouping Of the lovely lady
and her attendants, and a dance before
the emperor, whose added years were
indicated by a brown instead OF
black beard.

property man and less heroine.
