iMANDER OF R-34
DROPPED 1,000 FEET
"Dry Trip, Too Dull," Says Bri-
tish Officer. When First Ques-
tioned About journey.
A sensational leap of 1000 feet in a
'parachute by Major John Edward M.
Pritchard made the arrival of the R-34
at Roosevelt Field, Long 'Island, on
July 0, even more spectacular than
was anticipated, says a despatch from
Mineola, N,Y-
,After circling over the field for more
than an hour the huge craft steadied
itself directly over the headquarters
of the field naval detachment. The
whir of the engines stopped, the pro-
pellers ceased moving and the crowds
of spectators stared intensely skyward
in anticipation of witnessing the long -
expected descent.
Instead a white parachute flared out
against the sky and began to drop with
the figure of a man dangling from the
end. This performance was so unex-
pected that it took the spectators com-
pletely by surprise. Even the ma-
jority of the naval and army officers
had not been looking for any such
thing.
Half way down the parachute
swerved sharply to one side, causing
the figure at its end to swing until al -
Most parallel with the top of the "para-
sol." It soon righted itself, however,
and descended gently to the ground.
As soon as It touched ground the dirig-
ible resumed its idling movement
around the field and continued until
time carne for landing.
Major J. W. Barney, of the United
States medical corps, was the first to
reach the spot where the parachute
fell. He rode out from headquarters
In a side car and was astonished to
find that the figure was that of Major.
Pritchard, commander of the R-34. He
had expected to find a member of the
crew who had been sent down with a
message. He found the major lying
flat on his back, struggling to extri-
cate himself from the tangle of the
parachute ropes.
"Are you hurt?" he demanded
"No," replied the Britisher, jumping
to his feet and brushing his clothing.
"I'm feeling bully."
"How do you feel generally?" asked
Major Barney.
"A bit stiff," was the. reply, "but
otherwise all right. Can you direct
me to naval headquarters? I should
like to make some arrangements for
the landing."
On the way to headquarters Major
Barney asked for some details about
'the voyage. And then the man who
had just finished an epoch-making
trans -atlantic flight and had topped it
off with a 1000 -foot parachute jump 're-
plied:
"The voyage was all right, but a
little dry."
Major Barney was perplexed. He
suspected the distinguished visitor
was complaining about the lack of
stimulants aboard the airship.
"What do you mean by dry?" he in-
quired.
"Dull," was the astonishing explana-
tion. "Lacking excitement. Too much
of it. We should have been here long
ago,"
Arriving at headquarters, Major
Pritchard' stripped off his outer gar-
ments of white wool, revealing the
full dress, pale blue uniform of the
Royal ]'lying Force. Then, with the
utmost matter-of-factness, he proceded
to outline his plans for the landing of
the R-34.
WEE MOTHERS
REGAIN I E A TII
Through the New Blood Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills Actually
Make.
No mother should allow nervous
weakness to get the upper hand of.
her. If she doers worry will alar her
work in the horne and torment her in
body and mind. Day after day spent
amid the same surroundings is
enough to cause fretfulness and de-
pression. But there are other causes,
as every mother knows, that tend to
make her nerves run chowh. A change
would benefit her jaded system, and
rest might improve her blood so as
to give the nerves a better tone. But
rest and change are often impossible,
and it is then that all worn out wo-
olen should take a short treatment
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which
make new blood, rich with the ele-
ments on which the nerves thrive.
In this way these pills restore regu-
lar health, increased energy, new am-
bition and steady nerve. There is a
lesson for other women•in the case
of Mrs. Harry P. Snider, Wilton, Ont.,
who. says:—"Five years ago my twin
babies were born, and I was left very
weak and very miserable, hardly fit
to do anything. The doctor gave me
medicine, but it did not help me.
Then I tried another doctor, but with
no better results. One day I went
home to nay mother, telling her how
miserable I felt, and that the doctor's
medicine had not done Inc any good.
Mother asked me why I did not try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as I
was glad to try anything that might
help me, I got three boxes when I
went back hone. By the time these
were used there was no doubt they
were helping me, and I got three
more boxes. But I did not need them
all, for by the time the fifth box was
used, I was entirely cured, and never
felt better in my life. Now when I
hear people talk about feeling weals
or miserable I always recommend Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and tell what
they did for me, and in similar cases
I shall continue to recommend them."
At the first sign that the blood is
out of order take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and note the speedy improve-
ment they make in the appetite, health
and spirits. You can get these pills
through any medicine dealer or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

NOL BANK'S
1� YEAR
YEAR
The report submitted at the An-
nual Fleeting of the dtwrfc hank of
Canada indicated that the Bank had
enjoyed the most successful year in
Its history.
The progress made by the Home
Thank during the past few years was
referred to particularly by General
Manager Marson, who pointed out
that the liquid assets now amounted
to over 67% of the total liablllties to
the public, or actual cash assets
were the strongest in the history of
the flank, representing approximate-
ly 22% el' total liabilities to the pub -
Ile. Large gains were also made in
deposits, the increase for the bast
twelve months having amounted to
over three and a half millions, not-
withstanding the fact that 0.608 of
the depositors had subscribed over
$4.000,000 to the hast Dominion Vic-
tors Loan.
The increase in deposits during
the war period bad amounted to over .
ten million dollars. an increase of
over 105 p.c., and reflects the in-
creased patronage extended the bank
by the nubile in both savings and
general commercial lines. None of
these figures include deposits of the
Dominion Government.
The general statement of assets
and liabilities everywhere reflects
the progress made, the total assets
of the bank now standing at $28,-
035,924, as compared with $23,675,-
773 at the end of the previous year..
Total deposits now stand at $18,600,-
000, as compared with $14,600,000 at
the end of the previous year.
The Profit and Loss Account is al-
so of special interest to sharehold-
ers, as it reflects a gain in profits
and has permitted of an appropria-
tion to rest account of $100,000. The
net profits for the year amounted to
1238,753, equivalent to 10.63 p.c. of
the paid up capital and reserve fund.
After the payment of dividends
and various appropriations, includ-
ing $100,000 to Rest Account, the
amount carried forward was 5158,-
348, as compared with $150,371 for
the previous year.

"What slid Mr. Cummings say to you

"Why," replied the daughter, "he

"Oh, I buy 'em in The Times alley."

"Fi' cents."
"You don't make anything at that?"
"Nope."
"Then what do you sell then for?"
"Oh, just to get a chance to holler."
At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beauti-
fier, by scueezing the juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white. Care
should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles. sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra-
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It is marvelous to smoothen
rough, red hands.
