THE OREfiOri STATESMAN SUNDAY. JFLY 7, 191H. FLYING MCHINE- nVlllLiTLiJ I Lirtl Argentine ; Aviator Crosses Andes, in Plane Heavier. ;.' Than Air tUENOS AIRES, Arli J f ( Cor respondence of "The Associated Tress) After many frujtlezs attempts, the Argentine miUUrfling corpshas achieved Hs one great ambition the crossing, of the Jades mountains in a heavier than, jair machine. Al- tnoughv the Andes liiid been crossed by balloons, no one ever had' been able to get over them wth aa- Air plane .though many tried, and George Newberry, the son ' of an American, lost his life tn the attempt some years ago. The successful" flight has just been made, by Lieutenant Luis C. Candel ana, or tne Argentine army, in a machine of eighty horsepower. . Because of . the many failures and the dangerous air currents, the war department refused to permit- any more attempts to- be made in the region near Mendoza and gave Its consent to Candelaria's flight only thirty-ninth parallel of latitude. The flight, was made from Zapala, Argentina, to Cunco, Chile, a straight line distance .of approximately 112 miles region havp-arr altitude of 3.200 me ters and It is bHieved that the flight was maue at a inucu jiigner aiuiuue to liermit landing facilities in case of accident. The crossing was maie in part of the country which has little telegraphic communication with the .outside world and the details of thi.9 record flight Vere not expected until Lieutenant Candelaria return ed to Ituenos Aifcs to make hia re port to the war department. Candelrrvia i3 one of the most prom- Islne of tue Argentine aviators, lie completed hi3 flying course in six months. Just before hi? i successful flight.

The players form a circle; every other one steps forward. and to the left, forming a double cir cle with plenty-of space between the files of two. Two players oa the out side xt the circle begin the game; one Is chaser, the other Is runner. The, chaser seeks to tag the runner, who, to find safety; must run in front of , the groups of two, thus making that file three deep, and exposing the last 'or. third player who Is the run ner now and must seek safety, aa did the other, by running in'f ront of one of the groups of three.- If the chaser succeeds in catching the - runner be fore he is safe the rules are changed and the runner becomes the chaser. etc' The game must be played as fast as possible. Two chasers, and two runners may work in the same circle. T I territory agreed upon in which a cer tain number of sticks are scattered about. The object is to steal all his sticks before he catches any one, in which case he must bejeatcher again. If any one is caught that one must be catcher. !What Are You Doing In My Garden?" The players stand In a circle with hands grasped. - One play er without the circle is the gardener and another within is the thief. The following dialogue then ensues: Gardener: "What are you doing in my garden?" Thief: "I,am eating apples (or any other fruits). uaraener: Who gave you per mission?" Thief: "Nobody. Gardener: lThen escape if you can." t The thief now runs out of the circle underneath the arms of two of the players, then runs anywhere. in and out, till he finally re-enters the circle by the opening through which he first passed out, ' The gar dener all the while pursues him, fol lowing him in all the turns he makes, and tries to touch him before he can i re-enter the circle through the right opening. 'If successful, the gardener chooses a new thief, the caught one taking his place in the circle and the play goes on. as before. ' ' Geese Tag. Let one child be stander.

"If crossed the stander runs after him. But if the stander touched him before or while he is crossing he is then stand er. He may also touch the one he is running after and then he be comes stander and chooses some pupil to run after. t Circle Race. The players form a circle and drop hands, having the distance of one person between each player. -. One player starts the game by running around the outside of the circle and touching someone on the back, v The player, touched runs in the opposite direction, and the race is to see who' makes the circuit and returns to the vacant place first. PLENTY OP LIGHT.-'' Lighting the , home is ,an .Import ant problem -to all peoples. The evo lution of our'lighUng systems' has been so rapid that we are at the point where we are using more light than Is necessary. We may save our light bills considerably by reducing the quantity of light used. Better still than cutting down the bill for light Is to cut down the overwork of the eyes In consequence of our Indul gence In light. The quantity of light necessary for the ordinary room in the home, provided the decorations are fairly light Is about one-half a watt per square foot of floor surface. The decorations have much , to do with the amount of light-necessary, as some colorings absorb quantities WHAT TO DO IP BITTEN BY A RATTLESNAKE. Since the rattlesnake is more or less common In many parts of the United States, every one should know how to deal wfth, snake bites. The following treatment has been outlined by one of the best reptile authorities in this country: First, shut off the flow of blood to wards the body to. prevent the venom attaining access to the general sys tem. Second, enlarge the puncture with a sharp -knife and endeavor to drain away the surrounding poisoned blood. Incisions slightly deeper than those made by the fangs should be made directly ' across the primary wound and about an inch in length. The flow of blood should be hastened by the suction of the mouth. Third wash out the wound thoroughly with a strong solution of permanganate of potash. While these precautions are being taken, send for a good doctor. After the wound has been thoroughly washed and bled, the ligature should be loosened slowly and bleeding from the wound again stimulated as the blood Is allowed to circulate In the wounded part," Whiskey may be given in frequent small doses to stimulate the heart and combat the paralyzing action of the venom. In large doses Itbe- numbs, reducing the system to a con dition most susceptible to the action of the poison. In a great many deaths from rattlernake bites, so called, the symptoms of alcoholic poisoning have been more pronounced than those of snake bite. This important fact should be un derstood . that an arm or leg bitten by a poisonous snake Is very suscep tible to common blood poisoning, ow ing to the deadening effect which the venom produces upon the organisms In the blood that combat germ life.
