that will outdo all sky maneuvers
ever seen In Washington.
That Is the program of Ruth Law,

that she had "shown her best," but

Miss Law will autograph a receipt
for every bond she sells, and hopes
to dispose of 11.000,000 worth, which
would be better than she ever his

At 0 o'clock yesterday Miss Law
ascended from the Ulllpsej and
for some time amazed the crowds
below with a bewildering series of
aerial evolutions.
Then, when everyone thought the
performance about over, she raced
over the housetops to Tenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, wheeled
about and delivered the climacteric
punch of the exhibition flight
Dropping to about thirty feet above
the ground, ehe roared up the thor
oughfare. Skimming street cars and
trucks, she rose just high enough to
cjear the Treasury building, and re
turned to the Ellipse, her afternoon's
demonstration finished. It was the
most daring flight that has eer been
seen In the Capital.
