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.
There will be spherical and dirrig
Sble balloons as well as heavier than
air machines. Aviators will make at
tempts to lower existing records in
rapid flight, altitude flights, quick
starting, skillful alighting, etc. Will
also have some races.
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. The
Baldwin Army War Dirigible Xa 1 is
be-eg overha> !ed by a force of men.
who are the gas bag in chape
for location. while other soldiers of
the signal corps are working on the
great hydrogen generator and tank.
The grandstand of the Creighton
Held ts already assuming proportions
and Is being erected so that the spec
tators will have a clear sweeping
view of the course at all times.

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.
To Wash Windows—Add one-half
capful of kerosene to a gallon of cold
or tepid water. Wash with one doth,
wipe dry with a second, and then rub
ightly with a third. 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. Care must be taken to use
only hot water for rinsing and bluing
the clothes after the use of kerosene.
This cleanser has the additional
ralue of being excellent for the hands,
both softening and whitening them
Ice Cream Cake.

half cups fine granulated sugar, one
half cup of butter, one cup sweet
milk, one teaspoon cream of tartar,
ont^half teaspoon soda, three cups

ture pink with strawberry coloring
and flaxor with vanilla. Flavor the
white part with lemon. Bake slowly
in a brick loaf tin. putting the white
dough in first and the pink dough on
top. Forty minutes is about the right
time. Try with a straw and take out
as soon as done or the colors will not
keep their color otherwise. Turn on
a board and frost with a white icing
Color one-half of it pink. Spread the
pink icing on the white part and then
the white icing on the pink part
and cover with a chocolate glaze
made by melting one and one
half squares unsweetened chocolate
Do not stir, and when melted spread
oxer frosting.
Surprise Cake.
Make a plain white cake of one cup

IS NOT IN POLITICS
PRESIDENT SAYS DICTATION 19
OUT OF HIS PROVINCE.
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.
