Catherine Stlnson probably Is the only

more than a durk dragon fly playing

the avlatrix from landing on her spec

She made two long, loose circles o'

For a moment the engine stopped.
Then the tune of It began again. Cath

three minutes later she landed with

air not more than ten minutes.
The keen wind had tent the tears
streaming down her cheeks, but she
was smiling and utterly unconcerned.
6he's Not a Bit Afraid.
"What In the world induced you to
attempt looping the loop?" she was
asked.
"I didn't want the men to be getting
ahead of me all the lima," she said
naively. "I Just thought that I could

the loop last July I had never even

"You're not afraid?"
"Not a bit. That does no good. And
if you have a proper machine, test It
before you go up and know how to run
It. you're aa safe In the air as you
would be on a train or In an automo

to fly?"
"Sixteen. I was In tny last year at
high school. I lived In Jackson. M!bs.
I read everything I could find about
airships and aviators.

about the business."
Miss Stiuson Is thoroughly con

fession and hopes to see more girls
learn to fly.
DEDICATES ACRES TO BIRDS
Commodore Benedict Plans "Sanctu
ary for Feathered Tribe on Con
necticut Estate.
Greenwich, Conn. Plans for con
verting his beautiful estato of more
than 100 acres Into a model "bird
sanctuary," have been made by Com
modore E. C. Ilenedlct. who at the age
of eighty-two attributes his good
health to his love of the great out
doors and Its wild creatures.
The first step In the creation of the
"sanctuary" will be to drive out the
English sparrows, the "gangsters" of
the bird world, and the hundreds of
crows which have been attracted by
the food to be found on tho estate at
low tide.
Nesting boxes will be provided for
such birds as will use them, from the
smallest for the house wren to tho

Ancient Bark Recalls Romantic Days
in Sea History Her Neighbor
Man-Made Whale No Tar
Ever Dreamed Of.
Bridgeport. Conn. Made fast to the
dock of the Lake Torpedo Hoot com
pany are two boats brought together
by the caprice of circumstances, yet
furnishing a most striking and sugges
tive contrast. F.ach represents an era
of American sea history one that In

motive power, stands for the past.
The LB, In Its fresh coat of grav
paint, the newest submarine just off
the ways, a man-made whale such as
no tar ever dreamed of, stands for the
new seamanship.
It Is nearly seventy years ago that
the Morning Star sailed out of New
Bedford harbor carrying a crew of 31
on her maiden voyage. It Is less than
two years ago that she came In from
her last cruise for whales bringing BOO
barrels of nil in her hold. And It was
only the other day that with her can

deck, with bare yards hanging like

the lound. to be pulled out and over

altered, her days of cruising and ro

serve out the balance of her life In

tender or freighter.

Last summer she was used in pro

One of the scientific advantages to
be fcalned by carrying out this plan.
It Is pointed out. Is that tbe birds will

The unusual Interest In birds In

WARRING ON LAZY HUSBANDS
Charities Organization Forcing Habit
ual Loafers to Work or 8erve
Terms on Penal Farm.
Martinsville. Ind. The executive
enmmittee of the Associated Charities
is making war on lazy husbands. John
Uourley has been fined flO and sent
to the penal farm for 30 days un
der the lazy husband law. Charity
will be given bis family while he is
away. Charles Kenworthy. when be
fore Judge Whitaker, charged with
being a lazy husband, was permitted to
go on his pledge to obtain work. He
has left the city. James Padgett,
when charged with falling to support
his family, promised to leave town If
permitted to go. The opportunity was
given him. The charity association
is willing to give assistance to all
families In need of help, but It is not
willing to encourage laziness of hus
bands. IN SHIPBU1DING
old "square riggers' are being pressed
Into service.
Built in the shipyards of Dartmouth.
Mass., In tbe days when boats were
built on honor, when nothing but sea
soned timber was used, and with her
sides filled with rock salt to preserve
her timbers which have been soaking
whale oil for over half a century, It
Is no wonder that there is "not a drop
of water In her," although her pumps
have not been touched for a year and
a half.
On the way down she was visited
by two men who shipped In her as
cabin boys, one over thirty and the
other over fifty years ago. Bolted to
the floor of the cabin, which Is
reached by means of a little crooked
stairway, Is the table; on either sldr
of It a long bench, and swinging over
head a wooden rack for glasses and
cups. It was here that the "aftet
mess" gathered to eat their "salt
horse' and biscuits, to drink their
grog and swap yarns. In the cap
tain's cabin Is the only concession tp
comfort, in the form of a bed hung
on pivots at either end so that It
would stay level as the vessel rolled

The wheel which was built on the
arm of the rudder traveled from
side to side as It moved fie rudder,

the wheel could only see that part
of the deck where the mate paced
back and forth giving him orders, and
a glimpse of the sails, through an
opening In the roof for that purpose,
In order that he could keep them
steady.
Above the main deck of the Morn
ing Star are two "boat decks" on
which were nested the whale boats,
an extra supply of which was al
ways carnea, as sometimes an extra
lively whale succeeded in destroying
one or more. Amidships under one of
these is the kettle for trying out tbe
