K. “For the benefit of those who do not know him we will say that it will be a cold, cold day for Germany as soon Charles K. Hamilton takes the air in one of Uncle Sam's r- planes. Private Flamilton is now at- tached to the 184th Aero Squadron and eagerly awaits the day when he will be sent over. From the foregoing, friends of the late Charles K. Hamilton of this city might judge that “C. K.” has discov- ered a route back from that bourne from whence no traveler ever return- eth. The statement hemmed in by quotation marks is taken from an ar- ticle written by George Trevor for the Air Scout, a magazine published in the interests of aviation and from a perusal of many of the “facts” the recading matter that precedes the above startling statement one is led to belicve that the one, only and orig- inal Charles K. Hamilon, dead and at rest these many, many moons, is now at Garden Cit Long Island, learning to fly an airplane with the avowed purpose of wending his way blithely through the clouds until he reaches a spot from which he might cast a bomb perpendicularly on the head of His Wilhelmic Majesty, the Kafiser. If memory serves, Charles K. Hamilton is dead. That another Charles K. Hamilton has taken his place, if such were possible, akes no difference. The original Charles IK. Hamilton cannot be resurrected and no substitute can ever take his place in the hearts of those who laughed with him and who admired his intre- pedity. Here is the way the Air brings Hamilton back to life “‘Chuck’ Hamilton was never meant for carthly things. He gave evidence of this at fourteen years of age by jumping off the roof of his father's barn suspended from his big sister’'s new silk umbrella. When Father Hamilton found out that his son was unhurt, he procceded to rem- edy that condition! TI outhful ex- periment proved two things to Chuck —first that as a parachue a new silk umbrella is & mighty good rain pro- tector; and econd, that it isn't the fall that kills you but the sudden stoppage. Anyhow, Charles got In- timately acquainted with the hard, hard ground and renewed that ac- quaintance at regular intervals throughout his life. Army medical officers still contend that there are some bones in his body which are not broken, but we frankly doubt it. “Instead of being deterred from his aerfal ambition, Chuck" persistency to hitch his wagon to a star was fired by the umbrella sode. He began to attend county fairs, for Hamilton, like many another great man, was born and bred a farmer on an Tlli- nois farm, and no travelling circus could escape him. We learn confi- dentially that Chuck got his light touch on the controls from handling his father’'s mules. Riding ‘Old Jerry' developed the boy’s sense of balance to an uncanny degree. H At cighteen they Chuck down any longer. Life on ter- ra firma had become too slow for him. The Wrights had begun to get off the ground and Charles figured that if he had to die he might as well live fast while the going was good. So he got him a lot of piano wire and match sticks and made him an air- plane. Had it flown, it would have been quite a success. Luckily for this blography however, the old buggy clung to Mother rth. “Now the scene shifts, leaves his little gray home West and boards the train takes him out into the cold world. What Is this familiar which we sec before us? You guessed it—Hempstead plains. “Professor Tom Baldwin had made an airplane that he hoped would fly. His next job was to find someone blase enough to take it up-—someone a bit tired of living preferred Baldwin didn't want to fly because, vou see, he had made machine and knew just how good was. “In this dilemma along come Ham- iliton.

He could stand on his nose, or slide down to carth on one wing. He'd g0 out and eat a few nose dives and the loop before breakfast just as blithely as you would take a dip in the surf at the seashore on a va- cation before going into the ‘hotel’ dining-room. After a time people lost interest in him. They knew he could not be killed, and no one wants to see a man merely go up and fly! So, after a trip around the world, during which ho taught the Jap how to fly and the Chilean how to dic, and hobnobbed with the King of Siam and his white elephants Chuck came home and retired. “Hamilton, being naturally a man of cool nerve, turned to the ice busi- as a profession. Instead of freez- the blood in the veins of his on- lookers, Chuck then froze his patrons’ food products so successfully that he soon became the big boss of the big= gest ice company in Chicago. Chuck might be freezing yet had not the Hun started to warm things up across the big briny. This sort of got Chuck’s goat and he decided to start a little freeze-out of his own. “Ior the benefit of those who do not know him, we will say that it will be a cold cold day for Germany as soon as Charles K.

AVE New Britain Is Expected to Save Infants This Summer, “Children’s Year" is being observed in the United States this year, mark- ing the entrance of the United States into the world war. A big movement has been inaugurated to reduce by at least 100,000 the number of des among American infants. ain’s quota is 50. To accomplish this result, the work of the New Britain Milk Station must be rmore generously and actively supported. Through the medium of the milk station great work in the saving of infants can be ac- complished. During the summer months lives of children are endangered by faulty feeding, impurities in food and lack of care. Responsibility to the gov- ernment and to the city is identical in this matter. The milk station richly serve in the saving of precious baby life, and the support of the sta- tion is earnestly urged by the pro- maters of this civic Institution.
