Every Yankee trader knew that
his customers must be made to covet his wares
not merely to look on with curiosity, amazement or Indifference
And so it is today with all the great modern tribe of "retaii
purchasers". ??
Advertising which helps to sell goods must appeal to f undamental
human desires. It must hold the mirror up before the reader so
that his imagination is stirred. He must see himself gratifying
some worthwhile impulse ?- the fortunate possessor of the de
sired article.
Tell Mr. and Mrs. Consumer all the real news about your prod?
uct. Tell them how your product will please or entertain them
how it will help them in their work, how it will save them money!
Link your product closely to their desires. But keep yourself
and your splendid record in the background.
Expert counsel can show you how to make every dollar's worth
of advertising couut.

The "less encouraging" weather
coriditions were said to have been
Teported over the eastern portion of
the route, or over the part near the
Azores. By the time" the 'planes
could reach that regon, it was said,
the unfayorable weather conditions
probably would have passed away.
The Navy Department's first dis
patcli from Trepassey Bay to-day
regarding weather conditions said:
"Off-shore storm from Cape Cod
eastward has passed north, leaving
light, variable winds from Trepas?
sey to the Azores, and the sea has
subsided. Conditions, therefore, fair
for a start this evening for the long
hyr of the flight, but the arrival.of
NO-4 probably will delay us untii
to-morrow, when weather will be;
e\en niaxe favorable between here
arro the; A-ores."

"ording to the lates't wireless reports,
the airship was making an average
speed of fifty-eight miles an hour. She
was expected to land in moonlight at
St. John's early this morning.
At 7:40 o'clock last night she was
sighted abeam Liscomb, on the east
coast of Nova Scotia, according to a
wireless message from the steamship
Lady Laurier to the Canadian Marine
Department. Two hours earlier she was
reported as passing over Halifax, N. S.
When the C-5 passed over Halifax
harbor it was travelling at high speed,
reports from that city stated. From
points of vantage the balloon was j
plainly visible to many people on shore. j
It did'not appear to be more than 500
feet ab'Ovc the water. If it kept up the
same speed, experts in Halifax esti
mated that it would reach the New?
foundland coast about 2 a. m.
Reports from St. John's stated the
wind was blowing from the northeast,
but the indications were that it would j
veer around toward the south by night- j
fall and materially assist the airship \
in its long flight. Eve'rything there I
was in readiness to receive the C-5. j
According to present arrangements, the !
crew will be given twelve hours' sleep j
on arrival, so they will be ready for an
early flight to the Azores.
At 5 o'clock :,esterday morning the
dirigible was hauled out of her hangar
by 300 sailors attached to the lightci
tfjan-air section of the Montauk sta-f
lion. A'full crew had been working on
her all night after her flight the pre
vious day to New London, Conn., and
back.
Two hours later a big blast was ;
blown from the siren, signalling all
hands to the ropes. The mon piled out
of the mess hall with a big sViout and
rushed over to the dirigible.
Ten thcrmos bottles containing cof- i
fee and water, boxes of sandwiches and
cans of beans were placed aboard to
sustain the crew during the flight.
By this time Lieutenant Commander [
E. W. Coil, commander of the craft, i
and his crew of five men were in the I
car susponded beneath the huge cn- j
velope. "We will beat the seaplanes

yet," aaid Commander Coil Just before
the start.
A few minutes before 8 Lieutenant
Ralph Norris, who has charge of the
dirigibles while they are moored, shout?
ed to the sailors straining on the ropes
holding the balloon: "Walk the ship
bodily south." The men obeyed with
a will. and the nose of the big craft
was pulled out until it pointed in the
direction of the wind.
The officers of the station then gath
ered round and shook hands with the
crew.
"Shake hands with the King for me,"
called out Lieutenant Robert Dona?
hue, commander of the station, to Com?
mander Coil.
"Indeed I will, Donahue," replied
Coil, with a laugh, "and I'll shake
hands with the Queen too."
Off to Beat NCs
"Beat those NC fellows to it," was
the final greeting of the Montauk men,
as the big ship gracefully sailed away.
In the early morning the parachute
apparatus of the airship was tried out
by James F. Costello, chief machinist's
mate, who just missed landing in a
swamp. The parachute opened almost
immediately the leap was made from
the airship. The test proved that both
the parachute and harness were en?
tirely satisfactory.
At 8 o'clock sharp the dirigible rose
in -the air, headed south directly into
the wind. She circled round and then
started out on a northerly course with
the wind at her stern, flying at an
altitude of about 500 feet.
The C-5 had sufficient gasolene
aboard to make a trip of 1,500 nauticai
miles. She has two twelve cylinder
Union motors of 120 horsepower each,
both driving a two bladed propeller.
Her crew consists of Lieutenant

"Blimp" to-night. No anxietv for the
dirigible was felt, however, and she is
not expected to pass over the city to
the mooring ground in the Quidividi
Basin, northeast of here, until early to
morrow morning.
A guard of sailors will stand by :
until the C-5 arrives, ready to catcii
the anchor, which will be dropped from
the dirigible when she descends over!
the former cricket ground which has !
been prepared as a landing place.
A shallow fog settled over Quidividi
this afternoon, causing temporary con?
cern among the naval officers in
charge. The air over the landing place !
is somewhat "bumpy,"and landing will
involve some export airmanship on the !
part of Lieutenant Commander E. W. '

would be gone hy morning.

From Chatham, Mass.
HALIFAX, N. S., May 14.?The Amer?
ican naval seaplane NC-4 flew from
Chatham, Mass., to this city in three
hours and fifty-one minutes to-day. The
NC-4 was obliged to alight at Chat?
ham last Thursday, on the first leg of '??
ner journey, because of engine trou-i
ble.
To-day's flight of the huge craft waa I
accomplished at an average speed of
a fraction under nlnety-nine statutc j
miles an hour, the total distance being ;
340 nauticai miles.
Immediately on his arrival hero
Lieutenant Commander A. C. Read,
commander of the NC-4, announced :
that the s;caplane would remain at Hal- '
ifax/over night and resume her flight
to Trepassey Bay, N. F., at dawn to
morrow. The intervening time will be
utilized to go over every part of the
machinery.

have done in the NC-4 type of hydro

"Most of the way we had a wind that
was slightly off the port quarter at a
height averaging between 500 and 1.000
feet. We kept this low alt.itudo be?
cause the winds above would not have
helped us along so much. The wind
was almost. astern, just a hit to the
west of south west, and it was of great
assistance.
"The trip was made absolutely with'
"i.i incident. We picked up each de?
stroyer on time, although, because of
the stiong wind astern, which I had
not calculated on, we passed tho first
one a little before we had expected,
I-Jowcver, r rcmedied this with rospect
to the others. There were live of them.
"One noteworthy event of the jour?
ney was that we received a radio dis?
patch from Acting Secretary Roosevelt
at Washington. Tho message was one
of congratulation and good wishes. The
point is that we replied t othe mes?
sage and received an answer in return
within three minutes after the send
ing of the initinl radio commnuication.
This occurred just off Cape Sable,
about twenty miles to the south, I
think.
Flight Postponed Until Dawn
"It had been intended to make only
a br;ef stop at Halifax and continue
our flight reaching Trepassey this eve?
ning by taking advantage of the moori
light for night flying. This would
havo been quite possible if we had
been able to niake as early a start
from Chatlmm as we had hoped. How-.
ever, minor engine troubles cropped up
at tho last moment and our departure
was delayed by the ncccssity of some
slight repairs.
As matters stand now, we have come
to the conclusion that it would bc un
wise to proceed to Trepassey this aft?
ernoon. .Several reasons have influ
enced nio in that decision. There mav
be slight repairs that need to ho made,
and it would probably be inadvisable to
attempt (o effoct a landing in unknown
territory after darkness has fallen.
Therefore we have put off our flight
until dawn to-morrow."
Asked as to the course he had fol?
lowed, Read said it was the one
scheduled and taken by his two prede
cessors. He came across 220 miles of
open water and then "hit Seal Island
Square," as ho expressed it. After
that he followed the Nova Scotia line,
keeping continuously in sight of land
and cutting across several rocky pro
montories which jut out- into the At?
lantic. He said it was an easy matter
to land in Halifax harbor.
Favoring Wind a Factor
Lieutenant Commander Read said
the flight had far exceeded his ex
pectations. This was due in great
part to the tail wind, which helped the
NC-4 to make the quickegt speed with
the least consumption of fuel.
Asked as to the progress of the
dirigible C-5, he said the NC-4 had
been in radio communication with her
forty minutes after leaving Chatham.
Referring to the preparations being
made in Newfoundland by British air?
men to fly to EngUnd, Captain Clu
venius, of the Baltimore, said: "If
we get the NC-4 off on time I am sure
we may consider that the navy has
the edge on them."
On board the Baltimore to-night
every effort was concentrated upon
making things ready so that the hydro
airplane might get away on the second
leg of the flight. at daybreak if
weather conditions permitted. Four
United States naval destroyers, Nos.
86, 87, 88 and 112, have pot to sea to
take up their positions along the line
of flight to Trepassey.
Start Delayed by Gale
Although repairs to the engines of
the NC-4 were made almost immedi?
ately after her landing at Chatham, a
violent easterly gale sprung up which
delayed her start until this morning
Early tcday the wind veered round to
the southwest, no stronger than a
gentle zephyr. The sky was very clear, i
although a slight haze settled over the '
horizon.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Commander j
Read and his crew went aboard their ;
! craft, which took off in a trial flight to I
I test the air. Fifteen minutes later. I

I returned to her starting point. Then I

He declared his huge craft was "work- j

The 'plane started on her course at j
a moderate altitude. Immediately be
Kind her were two smaller flying boats \
from the Chatham naval air station,'
which followed the NC-4 until she
straightened out upon her main course.
Then they returned to their base.
As the NC-4 rose from the water the
crowd ashore gave a* terrific cheer
which was heard above the roar of the
motors of the seaplane
It was just after 2 o'clock when the
Camperdown wireless station reported
that the NC-4 was in sight, but, al?
