Colo, died less than two hours after
the crash.
Miss Elma Duncan of Kansas City,

cause the sleet storm was lowering
visibility, and ice was forming on the
wings, The ship was en- route from
Kansas City to Chicago.

the field to get his bearings but was
unable to see clearly. The plane hit

BAYLES, SPEED ACE,
SKILLED IN CRASH
Three Theories Advanced for
Cause of Accident as Plane
Was Making Test.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, December with the
record he mas persistently sought dur
ing the last month almost within his
grasp, Lowell r. Bayles, Springfield
Mass, flyer, crashed to his death at
the Wayne County Airport this after
noon while travelling at an estimated
speed of 300 miles an hour.
Bayles was only rs feet above ground,
Streaking over the 18-mile course like
yellow fash" as one observer de-
scribed it, when the plane started to
spin. dived In a short arc and struck
the ground, landing on its back The
motor broke loose from the plane and
rolled 500 feet across railway tracks
to crash into fence.
The plane burst into flames as it
struck. Bayles body, wrapped In his
overcoat, was found several feet from
the Wreckage, column of smoke ris-
ing from his clothing He apparently
had been killed instantly The wreck
age of the plane, StreWn along the
course, burned for some minutes. the
flame and smoke rising from the main
part OF it giving it the appearance of
Ok O4A NN4I 4IlC liz DIOptllEI was
found 200 feet away from the blazing
debris.
Three Theories of Cause.
Three theories of the possible cause
OF the tragedy were advanced. One
was that BayleS may have been over
come by monoXide gas in the closed
cockpit; one that the ship caught fire
in the air and another that the three
previous attempts Bayles had made, to-
gether with other unofficial tests, may
have weakened wing. An air speed
indicator tube which was attached to
one OF the wings was found on the
course 500 feet from the point where
the plane fell. This gave rise to the
theory wing may have broken up.
BayleS was trying to better the world
land plane mark of 2784 miles an hour
made by Warrant Officer Bonnet OF
France. To gain recognition of new
mark he had to register an average of
1888 miles an hour four times over
the measured course. He came close
to the mark on December |, when he
averaged 2819. At the time he said
he was sure he could get his Gee Bee
monoplane up to 290 miles or more. IN
officially he had been timed at more
than 300 miles on one of his trial
QaSheS.
Under the rules for timing interna-
tional records, Bayles had to fly over
the measured course at a height of not
more than l64 feet. To gain the maxi
mum speed he started his flight today
at point five miles from the starting
line and at an altitude of about 1000
feet. A mile from the starting pylon
he began the dive that was to bring
him down TO the required level at full
speed.
Bayles had leveled off nicely and was
nearing the end of the course on the
first dash when the crash came.

Browns Boy Sees Bighorn.
Kech enc some talent doth possess
10 make of living O success.
Old Mother Nature.

OF course, II we do not make the
best possible use Of such talents as we
have been given we cannot hope to
attain success. And what is success
for one may be failure for another
Success does not necessarily mean the
doing of great things; 1t means making
the most OF such opportunities as you
may have. So one with few oppor-
tuntties who makes the most Of these
is as truly successful as one who makes
the most of great opportunities. Old
Mother Nature has given to each GER
tain talents peculiarly adapted to the
needs Of life in the locality where each
must live Who makes the best use of
these talents lives successfully.
To Farmer Browns Boy the steep
barren, rocky upper slopes and rock
slides OF the great mountains seemed
the last place in all the Great World
where any one could live or would want
to live, yet he had found Whistler the
Marmot and Little Chief the Pika and
Billy Surefoot the Mountain Goat hv-
ing there, and, TO judge by what he
had seen, happy and content with no
desire to live elsewhere. And this was
true, for to each had been given GER
tain talents peculiarly fitting him for
life in such surroundings SO that he
Thus Billy had been given surefooted-
ness, perfect balance, fearlessness in
climbing steep rocks and a warm white
coat for double protection. All these
Billy had made the best possible use
of, 80 that he not only lived well and
happily on those inhospitable noun
tain slopes, but had no desire to live
anywhere else. He had made q sue
cess of living.
Tarnoar T2rnup,e T2ou was THINKING of
these things as he climbed the upper
slopes of a neighboring mountain and
wondering II he would find there any,
one else as well adapted to life amid
such bleak and forbidding surround
ings At the foot of the mountain he
had passed through a forest of great
trees. The higher he climbed the
smaller became the trees, until they
were no longer as high as his head
above the tree line. Above. were rocky
slopes and mighty cliffs. 1t was
world of rock with grasses and other
low-lying plants only in sheltered
places. He sat down in the shelter
of big rock, for the wind was strong
and not too warm. and he was tired
and heated and out OF breath.
Not living thing had he seen since
leaving the trees behind. There had
been no sharp warning whistle of a
Marmot no bleating bark of Pika
or Cony no glimpse of TalonS the
Golden Eagle. nothing to indicate that
any one lived in these rocky wastes
From where he sat he had wonderful
view of magnificent cliffs and crags
and towering Snow-capped peaks. 1t
was truly magnificent and awesome,
but at the same time 1t was desolate.

Paying in Advance.

I'm just pay you in advance for 1t
and then 1t will be on my mind" The
woman customer laid the money grand
ly on the counter IN the small shop
where we had stopped for an GRAND.
1t was not necessary for her to pay
in advance. It set us to pondering on
what the disadvantages to the customer
would be IN case the services were not
satisfactory.
When our bills are not payable in
advance, it is generally poor policy to
pay them until they are due. The rea-
sons are both practical and psyche
logical.
Practically, there Is no reason why
one should sacrifice the possession Of
money until there IS real cause. Small
amounts may draw only small amounts
Of interest but 1t Is something. Fur
thermore, If one does pay In advance,
bill so paid should be entitled to a
discount.
Psychologically. q seamstress. milliner,
tradesman, shopkeeper or furrier Is
more likely to try to satisfy one before
a bill is paid than after. Before being
paid, it is obvious that entire SatiSfac-
ton Is required
In some cases o small deposit may be
required before work will be started. but
this should be only small amount Of
fered as a declaration Of good faith.

Baby's Foods.

Baby's Foods.
The simple task of cooking for baby
often bewilders a mother, who Is accus-
toned to preparing food for adults. She
has an idea that foods for the young

foods for the family. so she throws up
her hands at the gigantic task Of pre-
pairing cereal or Scraped steak or stewed
fruit.

Cereal should be thin. smooth, and well
cooked. Vegetables should be steamed,
or boiled in the smallest possible bit Of
water Fruit should be thoroughly
washed, cooked until tender, lightly
seasoned with sugar, and pressed
through a sieve In fact that wire
sieve is an invaluable adjunct of the
kitchen during the baby's reign. Vege-
tables, cereals. fruits and juices all go
through the fine mesh that sleeves out
these woody, tough. indigestible por-
tons which would burden baby's
stomach.

which appear early in the child's life.
