IKE AVIATORS MEET GREAT EVENTS IN OMAHA. JULY 23. 24. 25. 26 and 27. AEROPUUIES APPEAR IN RACES Curt Isa, the Noted Aviator. Will Contest With His Pupils, Giving an Interesting Exhibition. The Mid-West Aviators' Meet will be held in Omaha. July 23. 24. 25, 26 and 27. The interesting events of the four days will be under the aus pices of the Aero club of Nebraska, and the Omaha Commercial club of I Omaha. Nebraska Glenn H. Curtiss. J. C. Mars, Eugene Ely. and other noted aviators will participate, thus assuring an interest ing an entertaining occasion. This is the first western meeting in which Curtis himself has taken part and is j the only western meet in which he i will appear this year, a fact, no doubt, that will tend to draw many who might not otherwise favor the meet with their presence. Mr. Curtiss will use the same aeroplane In which he made the flight from Albany to New York a few weeks ago. and which brought out so much favorable com ment from the press and public. His presence at the Mid-West Meet will be the signal far drawing thousands from near and far. The committee haring in charge all arrangements are: T. R. Kimball. | J. J. Deright. Gould Diet* 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 . haloons at Fort Omaha. By 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 arranged for a •eating capacity of 6.000. the grounds will accommodate 20.000 and the auto mobile park will be able to take care of five hundred machines. Speaking of the coming event, the Omaha Bee says: ' “First of all Curtiss will endeavor to lower his own world's record for quick and short starting in an aero plane during each day of the meet. In addition to this he will seek to re ! duce his record for a mile on a circu lar track, which now stands at fifty eight seconds. Curtiss ■will race Ely and Mars separately around the circular course, giving them a handicap in seconds for the difference in horsepower in the machines. “The feature of the meet will be the aeroplane races between Ely and Mars, weather permitting. There is a great deal of good natured and friendly rivalry between these two Cnrtiss aviators and each one tries to outdo the other on all occasions. Both aviators will drive the same horse powered machines during the meet here and are about equally matched in nerve and daring. “The course on the aviation field will be laid out by white signal flags and the Vnited States army signal corps men will be placed around the infield of the course to see the avia tors do not cut corners. "The army spherical balloon In charge of Lieutenant Haskell of the signal corps will be anchored in the center of the field, where observa tions can be made on the work of the aeroplanes and dirigibles. Atlantic City. X. J.. July 12.—Glenn | Curtiss today tossed oranges as mim | ic bombs within three feet of the decks of the yacht John F. Mehrer IT. ; used in place of a battleship during I the sham battle arranged to demon strate the utility of aeroplanes in coast defense. The mock “bombs” were dropped from a height of about 300 feet and Curtiss purposely failed to strike the deck of the yacht for fear of injuring the officials and pas sengers gathered on her decks. Visiting experts agreed that the ex periments showed that a fleet of aero planes armed with bombs of high ex plosives could wreck any warship be fore guns could be trained on them. Curtiss was flying about forty-five miles an hour when he dropped the “bombs" and officials on the deck of the yacht declared that he was with in accurate distance for rifle fire less than a half minute. Colonel William Allen Jones, re tired. formerly of the I'tsited States engineer corps, who is an advocate of teropianes for coast defense, stated after the trials his belief that the air machine has proved its efficiency. Activity at Fort Omaha. Omaha.—Fort Omaha is throbbing with activity preparatory to its par: m the Mid-West Aviation meet.

I EXCELLENT BUTTER CAKES Instructions That Will Enable the Cook to Prepare These the Most Appetizing Way. Sift together three cups of flour, four and a half level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and three-quarters of a J level teaspoonful of salt. Rub into ; this two tablespoonfuls of butter until I the flour looks and feels mealy, then add one and one-half ounces of milk, and beat for a moment to a smooth dough. Have a coarse linen or canvas cover for your molding hoard and a woven cover for the rolling pin. Turn ! ike dough out cn a well-Eoured doth ' and toss into a ball with a knife. Slip the cover over the pin and rub ! it full of flour, then roll out the dough with light pats. This should be moist, so it will stick to anything but the well-floured canvas. It must not be touched with the hands eicept when the cakes are laid on the griddle Roll the dough out into an even sheet, about three quarters of an Inch thick, cut out with a biscuit cutter and bake on a granite griddle, leaving them far enough apart so they will not stick. The fire should no: be too hot. When the cakes puff up to double j their sire, turn and bake on the other side Have a second batch baking while the first is being eaten, like griddle cakes Serve hot. so the but ter will melt at once when the cakes are split and the butter is spread between them. -_ Labor Saving Cleanser. The labor of housework may be ma terially lessened and better results ob tained by the use of kerosene instead sf soap, powder or polisher It is a foe to soil and grime, which disappear under its use as if by magic.

The result will be windows of a brilliancy and transpar ency not to be obtained by any other means. Mirrors and chandelier globes tttsy be treated in the same manner. To Polish Hardwood Floors and Woodwork—Wipe the surface with a cloth slightly dampened with kerosene, then rub lightly with an old soft cloth. To Whiten Clothes—Three table spoonfuls of kerosene added to the clothes while boiling makes an excel lent bleach.

ENOUGH TO FULFILL PLEDGES Refuses to Express an Opinion as tS Candidates to Head Party In Ohio or Elsewhere. - t Beverly. Mass.—President Taft slat* ed. with more emphasis than he has heretofore employed, the position ha is taking with regard to republicaa state platforms and candidates. The president does not think he should bo called upon to write the party declara tions in the different commonwealths or to name men for any of the elective offices. A president, it was intimated, has a pretty big job on his hands when he undertakes to fulfill all the pledges In the national platform and to bring congress around to the same way of thinking. As to planks in state platforms en dorsing the administration the presi dent feels that unless that ran be written upon what be has said and done since taking office, nothing he could add In a personal way would help matters oat. The Ohio conferences the last three days have served to bring out the president’s attitude. He has been In formed of the general tenor of the platform to be adopted et the Colum bus convention the latter pert of this month, but he did not go into the d» tails of different planks Vnder no circumstances, the pres* dent let it be known, would he expreee an opinion as to candidates. He hopes that the best possible man will be chosen to bead the ticket In his home state. The fight this fall in Ohio. It is generally acknowledged, will be a hard one; but Mr. Taft feel* that a convention made up of delegates can well be trusted ta choose its candidates in its own way. Mr. Taft has been told that none of three avowed candidates. CarmI Thompson. 'Warren G. Harding and O. B. Brown, has a majority of the votes. This has led to the opinion that a compromise candidate must be found. The friends of James R. Garfield are hopeful that the delegates may tun to him. but the state leaders who are friendly to the administration, and who will write a strong endorsement of Mr. Taft and all of his arts in the platform, declare that Mr. Garfield cannot be nominated. The only other “sprung" candidate who ia mocb talked of is Representative Nicholas Longworth. It is said, however, that Mr. Longworth much prefers to re main in congress and it will take a great amount of pressure to get him into the state fight. WORKMAN’S LIVING COST.
