ME n KITES'
*;i Some of the Lads are Ex-i
ports in Construction j
i' and Manipulation.
The kite flying season is here. The
Iiots srather at vacant lots at Sixttf"!
I and Coleman avenue and find it a 1
splendid place for getting their kites
into the air. There were sixteen or
them np at one time yesterday afternoop.
Some of the kites arc made with a
bow in the body which does not make
& "M? necessary. Others have long
tails to maintain the proper balance.
... Most of the kites are made by the boys
themselves although there was one
L store kite on exhibition yesterday.
It is a little hard to get the kites in |
the air sometimes but after they get up j
so far there is always enough current j
, - to carry them. Some of the hoys have
' ' had them out so far that it took two |
balls of cord. Creed Malone stood at I
Sixth and Coleman and had his kite |
Hying over the court house.
The wind sometimes plays havoc!
with these kites. Brooks Binns has {
-lost five of them this season, two in i
;. > one day. Meredith Smell lost two the !
- other day . Herschell Sturm /had one
get away and it caught in a chimney j
where he could sot get at it.
? The kites play great pranks up in j
the air sometimes, especially those :
?v without tails. Some of them loop-tbe-'
loop in the strangest way imaginable, r
V l , Paul Alban had one dive from four {
hundred feet into the air right to the j
! ground the other afternoon. Sometimes ,
they shoot almost to the ground and !
. .then rise again.
Dudley Cooper says there is a good !
. deal in knowing just how to wind the
r- owed in bringing in the kites. Lee Malone
says it requires tact to handle
.v - : them and avoid having them loop the
- loop. Oliver Woods pointed out the
danger of having the strings get mixed
. ap. Rex Arnett brings kites in very
well and enjoys distinction for this
g??p> line of accomplishment. Arthur Haw>
.Idas can put up ? kite with less cur.
a?t than the rest of the boys. . _

' George Creel, chairman of the Committee
on Public Information, and places j
emphasis on the business side of the !
Coal Administrator's career. It is :
sketched in this "way: i
"In 1901 Mr. Garfield became mana- j
ger of a Cleveland syndicate that de- ]
veioped the coal mines in the Piney ;
Fork district of Ohio, built a railroad j
from 'hose mines to a Lake Erie port |
and finally "sold the properties to the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
company, at whose request Mr. Garfield
remained a director and vice president
of the mining company.
"He was president of the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce in 189$, was a ;
member of its executive committee for ;
several years, and as chairman of its
building committee conducted the con- j
struction of its present building.
"He helped to organize the Cleve- i
lana J niM couipau . n U'Vu una uccti !
successful as one of the most ably
managed financial Institutions of j
Cleveland. He teas one of its direc- j
tors, its vice presidents, its counsel and |
a member of its eyectuive committee
from the time of its organization until
he retired from practice as a lawyer ;
in November. 1S03.
"During his years of practice he had ;
sole charge of an estate that had inter- ,
ests in Lake Michigan iron mines, in j
a ship-building firm, in real estate and
in various business companies.
Saved Concern from Wreck.
"He took part in the reorganization i
of the Conneaut "Water company, vhich j
be helped to save from financial ship- i
wreck and to put in the way of itspres- !
ent success. He assisted in forming '
the Citizens' Association of Cleveland. !
which freed the city from the control
of an ancient gang of corruptionists.
He was for 11 years chairman of the
National committee for the reform of
our consular service ? a committee
composed ot representatives of various
chambers of commerce and boards i
of trade.
"After sixteen years of practice as a
lawyer he became a member of the
faculty of Princeton TTn lverslty in
1904. A few years later be was elected
president "of Williams College,
where he was as successful in directing
its business interests as in overseeing
its educational activities."
In relation to Dr. Garfield's work In
his present office the article says:
"In the week immediately preceding
his appointment the ontput of bituminous
coal had fallen to the lowest
point of the year. From that time until
the beginning of December It rose
continuously, with slight recessions,
until the total production for the i
period was considerably greater than
it had been for the same period ot the
previous year. The coal problem had
apparently been solved. But a transportation
problem bad developed."
