Fledgling Pilot Causes
Panic With Wild Antics
SAN ANTONIO,-Tex., April 27.—
(IP)—Private F. Fietz, fledgling pilot
I extraordinary, was shorn of his
wings today, and housewives of
Highland park, San Antonio suburb,
breathed more easily.
Where yesterday .Private Fietz
was having the time of his life
zooming around between the chim
ney tops of Highland Park and
playfully arguing righ-of-way with
autoists. his outlook today was any
thing but cheering. A court mar
tial with all the trimmings was in
store for the Brooks field blade.
Fietz was different from the other
pupils at Uncle yarn’s flying acad
emy. The study of airplane engines
bored the young man. and he longed
for the freedom of the higher air
currents and the roar of an open
exhaust. He lacked a pilot’s rating
and had no authority to fly. but
there were lots of airplanes hanging
around loose.
The first Brooks Field authorities
knew of Private Fietz's soaring am
bitions was when civil authorities
notified them the inhabitants of
Highland Park w'ere lorging com
plaints at the rate of about one a
minute. One autoist, they declared,
had cracked up in attempting to
dodge a pursuit plane.
Within a very few minutes a half
dozen planes were bound for the
besieged suburb, and shortly they
came flying back to Brooks Field
with the culprit ship wedged in be
tween them. Private Fietz brought
his plane to a perfect landing.
They told him he was under arrest.

NEW YORK.—An accredited blind
person and guide can travel for
one fare on any of 41 railroads.
Some 30 persons have availed them
selves of the privilege. Identifica
tion by the American foundation
for the blind is necessary. Profes
sional beggars are barred.
NEW YORK.—Mr. and Mrs. Fen
ton Benedict Turck, Jr., who are
socially prominent, gave a party.
The guests wore Turkish costumes.
Coffee was served by a real Turk.
TOKYO.—Prince Henry of Eng
land is due at Yokohama next
Thursday to invest the emperor of
Japan with the order of the gar
ter. Next year Prince Takamatsu
is expected to make a honeymoon
journey to England.
NEW YORK.—Because of diffi
culty with bodies police are urging
that women carry means of identi

usually furnish clues to men. But
women struck by automobiles,
drowned or otherwise killed in aci
dents usually are sepaarted from
their purses and their flimsy gar
ments carry no distinctive markings.

America's cup is to be given to the

and in recent years a lowly barge
till rescued by W. U. Swan, yachts
man, will be consigned to the deep
with ceremony the Sunday before
Memorial day.
ELECTED TO
ASSOCIATION
Frontier Company Admitted
To National Organization
Of Lumber Dealers
According to an announcement
issued today, the Frontier Lumber
company has been elected a mem
ber of the Associated Leaders of
Lumber and Fuel Dealers of
America. Membership in this asso
ciation is by invitation only and
necessitates a long established
reputation for integrity and a strict
adherence to only the highest
standards of business conduct.
The Associated Leaders is a na
tion-wide organization of leading
lumber dealers—formed to protect
the public by bonding and guar
j anteeing the merchandise of their
members. Another of its aims is
to promote home ownership
through the introduction of an easy
payment plan in the lumber Indus- j
try.
In an interview Mr. R. C. Morris,
secretary of the Frontier Lumber
company, said “that in line with
recent advancements and improve
ments in other lines of merchan
dise. and in keeping with their
policy of protecting their customers
by handling only material of known
quality, his company will hence
forth sell only certified material
backed by a $1,000 surety bond,
guaranteeing the count, quality,
weight and measure of all material
to be exactly as represented.”
Years ^
*, *
of. service in
Model T fords*
I
THE Model T was so strongly and sturdily built that it \
is still rendering reliable, economical service to motor- f
ists in every section of the country. Millions of these
cars can be put in shape for two, three and five more
years of use at very small cost.
i So that you may have this work done economically
and satisfactorily, the Ford Motor Company is still de- *
voting a considerable section of its plants to the manu
facture of Model T parts. It will continue to do so as
long as they are needed by Model T owners. The follow
ing list gives the approximate labor charges for recon- .
-ditioning the Model T Ford:—

of manufacturing and selling at a small margin of profit#
