l the llrst western nieotliiK in which
Curtis himself has taken pari and Is
the only western meet in wlileh ho

that will tend to draw many who
might not otherwise favor the meet
with their presence. .Mr. t'urtlss will
use the satuu aeroplane in wlileh he
made tho flight from Albany to New
York a few weoks ago, and which
bt ought out so much taornhli com
ment from the press and public His
presence at the Mid-West Meet will
be the signal for drawing thousands
from near and far.
The committee having In charge all
ariangementH are: T. It. Kimball.
J. .1. Derlght, (iould Dletz and Clark
G. Powell, the latter being also man
ager of the meet.
The government has promised as
sistance by the loan of a number of
bullions at Fort Omaha, lly this and
other aid It Is hoped to make this the
largest meet In this country, being in
keeping with the international ex
hibition at Los Angeles

The committee has ai ranged tor a
seating capacity of (i.OOU, the grounds
will accommodate 20,000 and the auto
mobile park will be able to take care
of live hundred machines.
Speaking of the coming event, the
Omaha Uce says:
"First of all Curtlss will endeavor
to lower his own world's record for
iuick and short starttug In an aero
plane during each day of the meet. In
addition to this he will heel; to re
duce his record for a mile on a circu
lar track, which now stands at fifty
eight seconds.
"CurtlBS will race Kly and Mars
separately around the circular course,
giving them a handicap In seconds
for the difference in horsepower In
the machines.
"The feature ol the meet will be
the aeroplane races between My and
Mars, weather permitting. There Is
a great deal of good natured and
tricndly rivalry between these two
Curtlss aviators and each one tries
to outdo the other on all occasions.
Hoth aviators will drive the same
horse powered machines during the
meet bore nnd aro about equally
matched in nerve and daring.
"The course on the aviation field
will be laid out by white signal Hags
and thy United States army signal
corps men will be placed around the
inlleld of tho course to nee the avl.i
tors do not cut corners
"The army spherical balloon In
charge of Llcutennnt Haskell of the
signal corps will be anchored in the
center of tho field, where observa
tions can bo mado on the work of the
aeroplanes and dirigibles.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 12 (Menu
Curtlss today tossed oranges as mim
ic bombs within three feet of tho
decks of tho yacht John F. Mehror II,
used In place of a battleship during
tho sham battle arranged to demon
strate tho utility of aeroplanes In
coast defense. Tho mock "bombs"
wero dropped front a height of about
;t00 fcut and CurUss purposely failed
to strike the deck oT the yacht for
fear of Injuring the officials and pas
sengers gathered on her decks.
Visiting experts agreed that tho ex
periments showed that a lleot of aero
planes armed with bombs of high ex
plosives could wreck any warship be
toie guns could ho trained on them.
CurtlsB was Hying about forty live
miles an hour when ho dropped tho
"bombs" and officials on the deck of
the yacht declared that ho was with
in accurato distance for rlllo lira loss
than a half minute.
Colonel William Allen Jones, re
tired, formerly of tho United States
engineer corps, who Is an advocate of
aeroplanes for coast defenao, stated
after the trials his bellof that the nlr
machine ban proved Its eniolency.
Activity at Fort Omaha.
Omaha.--Fort Omaha Is throbbing
with activity preparatory to its part
in tho Mid-West Aviation meet. Tho
Haldwin Army War Dirigible No. 1 Is
being overhauled by it force of men,
who aro putting tho gas bag In shape
for Inflation, while other soldiers of
tho signal corps are working on the
great hydrogen generator and tank.
Tho grandstand of tho Crelghton
field Is already assuming proportions
nnd is being eroded so that the spec
tators will have a clear sweeping
view of the course at all times.
Dives from Brooklyn Bridge for $250
NKW YORK.-A sharp-featured, un
dersized youth in nigged swim
ming trunks, with n skimpy coat and
an old pair of trousers tin own over
them, dived succesfullj from the cen
ter span of llrooklyn bridge to the
Hust river, lllf! feet below, for fUf.O
In cash, two new suits of clothes and
whatever renown the world mn hold
In store for a bridge Jumper.
The late Steve Hrodle acqulied fame
us u bridge Jumper and long ran a
Howery saloon on the strength of It,
but man say It was never really
proved that Steve really Jumped. Sev
eral would-be suicides "have been
llBhed out of the river unhurt after
Jumping, but Otto Uppers Is the nrst
to Jump with unquestioned witnesses
as part of a prearranged plan.
Tho boj's llrst words when he wns
Ijsbed out of the river by the crew of
a passing tug were: "dee! Hut I hit
hard!" '
His next were: "Say, whose got the
inakln's of a cigarette?"
Uppers Is seventeen years old and
the son of a lithographer. He weighs
about 110 pounds and has been iinofll
clul swimming champion of tin- Kant
river ever hIiico he got Into the big
Elusive Tooth Puzzle in Chicago Court
CHICAOO. "The mystery of tho
Missing Tooth," a novel exposition
of how heven and three (sometimes)
make eleven, was staged for a largo
and appreciative, not to say quizzical,
audience recently In .Municipal Judge
Torrlson's court.
Plot theme: "Can a dentist iccover
damages for a swallowed tooth?"
Leading characters: Dr. .lames I,.
Illount, Oak Park, praying a monetary
revengo, and Mrs. Alice Andrews,
heroine in tho tragedy or "The Miss
ing Molar.'
Dr. Mount demanded his fee for U
teeth, false If you please, whllo the
heroine pleaded but ten seven In
hand aud three hidden by rosy lips.
"Tho teeth not only were lalse In
material, but they were false to
their trust and (ell out," said Alls. An
drews. "One at a time they began falling
out. The first one went on a round
steak which cost 25 cents a pound. I
thought it merely a coincidence. Hut
when No. 2 fell Into the soup ono noon,
I knew there was boinethlng wrong.

CHICAGO. Faithful hens of Illinois
Indiana, Michigan and Ohio have
slttco April laid 45,000,000 eggs for
tho cold storage man, according to
farmora who havo sold their product
to representatives of Chicago cold
storngo houses.
Tho eggs, will remain In tho ware
houses until the high prices of last
winter aro duplicated.
Housewives feel that the usual cor
ner In eggs will take place next year.
South Wnter street commission mer
chants admitted thnt warehousemen
have canvnsBcd tho four states for the
last three months, buying up fresh
eggs from the farmers and egg com-

boy class. Ilecently he beard thnt a
lltooklvu merchant was willing to pay
$LV0 out of his advertising appropria
tion to the llrst man who would Jump
fiom any one of the brldgi s over the
Fast river.
Otto was the boy for the Job. Ho
had Jumped 101 feet fiom a bridge
once betore hiuI the addition of a few
more feet never eiuihed him mi much
ns a thought. "Sure, I'll do It," he
suld, and he did.
Otto meant to dive fiom the new
Manhattan bridge, because bo thought
It was higher. The height hi reality
Is the sumo for all the Fast river
bridges. The police, however, were
too waKhful. lie meant 10 shed his
coat and ti onsets, but he didn't hnvo
time, lie meant to take off his heavy
boots, but the liver did that for him.
He meant to dlvo in one long sweep
ing arc, "but somehow ,' he told lift
terward, "1 started to twist, and then
I couldn't atop." Passetigeis on the
ferryboats who saw hhu said he
turned llku a plnwheel.
"I wasn't scared a bit until 1
.lumped,' be continued, "but I don't re
member anything after I hit until I
came up again." He was found (loaf
ing mi his back, half stunned and
paddling feebly. "I could have swum
to shore," be boasted, and in the next
breath he admitted, 'but I wasn't feel
ing very spry."
A rubdovvn and two hours of rest
in a hopsltal found Fppets lit to ap
pear In police court, where ho was
ptoniptly discharged for lack of evi
dence that he had attempted suicide.
"Nos a, I and ft came out In unison
and Nos. i! and 7 when a boy het off n
Itiecracker under my root tho last
Fourth of .Inly. It was becoming so
common then, I Inst track or tin
cause aud scarcely noticed tho effect
I couldn't even chew butter.
"I refused to pay the dentist's bill
unless he did the work all over again
amj he wouldn't. He said I must have
been trying to chew locks. Then he
sued me."
As proof of tho deciduous nature of
the teeth, Mrs. Andiews began count
Ing them out on Judgu Torrlson's
desk, while court bnlllrfs looked on
agape. Then as she reached "seven,"
.Mis. Andrews said:
"Tin oo I have In my mouth. Ho put
In 11 for mo In February, 1909. Most
ot them camo out nnd 1 had three put
back."
"Hut where Is tho other tooth?
Three you still use, boven you have
shown the Judge, now where Is the
other one?" was the Insistent query
put to Mrs. Andrews.
"Where Is tho other tooth?" Tho
woman faltered. "I don't know where
It can bo; I thought 1 had It, but I
must have swallowed it while asleep"
"Oivo the others to the bailiff; let
them ho preserved as evidence," said
Judge Torrlson.
Tho bailiff kept the teeth; tho Jury
found its verdict for the woman.
Laughs for Peanuts
At least that was what It Innknd mi
Ho was standing up on his haunches,
waving his right front paw over his
head aa a 'uoj does when he moans
you to throw a ball high. Tho ladv
threw tho peanut high and Old Hon
got It caught it in his mouth, at a
distance of 20 feet, while the other
bears In tho cage raged over missing
It. Tho woman throw more, and kept
throwing the peanuts till they wero
all gone, and every one she threw ovei
tho lieuds of tho other boars. Just ti,
see Old Hen stnnd on his hind legs
and motion for more.
Hen learned this trick years ago, tho
keepers say, when ho was n dancing
bear. When he finally was put In
tho zoo ho astonished the keepers bj
making signs to them to throw the
best food over tho heads of tho other
greedy animals to him. Ho always
takes ii.i his position In tho back
giound, motioning the keepers and let
ting the othor bears figlit at tho Iron
bars. Tho rosult Is that ho gets the
biggest part of tho dinner because It
is so funny to watch bis secret sig
nals to tho feeders.
Eggs Are Imprisoned
inlshlouetK.
"Chicago cold Murage houses arc
filled with fresh eggs." declared a
moi chant today, "and I have been told
that -Ift.OOO.OOO eggs aro now stored
away In warehouses, to remain there
until next winter when tho men who
form tho egg pool can demand high
prices for tho product."
Tho millions of eggs bought up by
tho cold storago representatives will
not bo put on tho Chicago markets
for Bale until there Is n scarcity.
Tho eggs wero purchased from the
farmers at an averago price of 23 Vj
to 24 cents a dozen. Two cents a
dozen Ib added to cover lnsuranco,
Btorago costs, etc., which brings tho
totnl cost up to about 20 cents n dozen.
If the eggs enn bo rotniled In Chi
cago next winter at 45 cents a dozen,
at which thoy wero sold last winter,
thero will bo a profit of 19 cents a
uozen or u totul of something over
J700.000.
