PREACHES FROM AN AIRPLANE
Minister With Many Parishes to Cover
Puts Modern Mode of Travel
to Good Use.
No tolling church bells announce to
the little communities scattered
thipugh one section of America's great
Northwest the periodic Sunday morn
ing arrival of the region’s most en
terprising itinerant evangelist. In
stead, they hear the coughing exhaust
of an engine, as his airplane spirals
down upon the village. Drawn irre
sistibly by the novelty of the visit, they
flock to the airplane, now at rest in a
nearby field or meadow. They find
the preacher on his feet in the pilot’s
cockpit of the plane “Sky Pilot,” ready
to begin his discourse.
Explanation of this strangest of all
the airplane’s uses is found in the
evangelist’s decision, some months ago,
that the time and energy required for
constant travel among distant parishes
was seriously curtailing his effective
ness. He decided to defy all precedent
by allying aeronautics and religion. He
first subjected himself to a rigorous
course of training, and became an ac
complished airrn. He then pur
chased his -plane, sele¢ting a three
seater of sporting type. The rear cock
pit seats the pilot, and serves as his
pulpit when the meetings are held in
the open; the forward cockpit accom
modating his two assistants, one of
them a song leader.—Omaha Bee.
Women Crave Excitement,
The wife of a very wealthy man
was arrested with a group of bandits
after a pistol battle with the police,
in which the woman was shot in the
arm. She is a woman who has trav
eled, 1s educated and bears every evi
dence of refinement. The police say
that there are many women of this
kind who work with thieves unbe
known to their families, The call of
adventure is the prime motive, In a
raid on an East side wine cellar re
cently ten men and one woman were
taken to headquarters in a patrol. All
the men had criminal records. The
womgn is -happily married to all ap
ipearances. and is a patron of the
opera. She said the men and women
in her set were dull and that she liked
' to get out and mingle with the men
who lived by their wits and were not

The Chef’s Dally Manicure, |
One of the daily events in the life
of a chef in any of the large New
York hotels is his morning manicure,
Before he touches food, his hands are
carefully washed and his nails are
cleaned, cut and polished.
The job is not given to a sweet girl
manicurist, but to one of the hotel
physicians., He s always on hand
during the day; should the chef acci
dentally cut himself, the doctor will
bandage the wound, as he is there for
that purpose.
Chefs are precious these days; many
of the French ones—unable to get
their daily bottles of wine—have gone
back to France, where the thought of
prohibition can still be treated as a
joke, though even in France there are

To Jaill by Airplane.
Aerial policemen in San Francisco
are thus far the first to make use of
the alrplane to conduct a prisoner to
Jatl, via the automobile patrol.
The sky route offers the most direct
passage between two places, and in
this instance the prisoner was trans
ferred from the Alexandra county jail
across the bay of San Francieco to the
locality where an, automobile patrol
was waiting te continue the journey
through the city. Where it is neces

By MILDRED WHITE.
(®. 1921, Western Newspaper Union.)
Lizzie stood frying the crullers g
golden brown, while Mrs. Reynolds
sat in her favorite corner of the neat
white kitchen. Though Lizzie had
proven herself capable in every line of
housekeeping, Mrs. Reynolds could
not quite resign her habit of direct
ing. Everything in the home which
she had long made for her idolized.
and really worthy son had come un
der her supervision, and it was dif
ficult now to brook other rule, even
of conipetence. And surely, Lizzie was
a jewel, ‘
After various and ~ innumerable
malds had made fitful and unsatisfac
tory stays in the pretty flat, Lizzie
arrived, and served with a skill seem
ing too good to be true; and Lizzie re
mained, : !
Mrs. Reynolds found it was quite
possible to make both friend and com
fidant of Lizzie without fear of later
disappointment. And the elder wom
an accepted this companfi"nshlp joy
fully, realizing in the ort re
ceived how very lonely ghe “here
tofore been.,
For John Reynold’s mother y s not
one in her exactions to win {either
confidence or friendship. ¢ now,
swaying to and fro in the rocker
which Lizzie had brought from the
living room, she relieved her mind
concerning a certain Betty Standish,
who had been presumptuous enough,
and successful enough, to win her
John’s affectibn,
“It isn’t,” she told Lizzle, “as if he
were a man to be taken with every
pretty face. John never did flit
around and make love, like other boys,
He stayed at home and studied, and
that’s why he has gotten along so well
with his engineering. But now, just
with that big promotion ahead and
all, for him to be taken with an idle,
frivolous creature, who knows how to
do nothing but spend Her father's
money! What sort of helpmeet would
she be to a young man whose life for
some time to come must be spent in
overcoming obstacles.? For John will
have to travel far and put up with
much hardship. Will this musical,
tea-party girl, be willing to go with
him to the Wl;gs. do you think—when
his duty calls?”
Mrs. Reynolds in her eloquence had
forgotten Lizzie’s presence. The girl
admired a tempting cruller on the end
of a fork. ; R
“Maybe,” she replied, “this “Miss
Standish loves your boy a lot; love can
make people like to do all sorts of
hard, unusual things. And maybe
she’s not so light, after all, Mrs. Rey
nolds. Do you know her?”
The mother’s lips tightened.
“I absolutely refused to meet her,”
she replied, “when John made the sug
gestion, Of course, he is under a
lover's glamour at present, and can
not be reasoned with., But I have
heard enough about Steve Standish’s
daughter to know that she inherits all
her father's love of show and luxurysy
and as her mother died when she was
born, she’s had no bringing up outside
of fancy hoarding schools. You can
hardly pick up a paper without read
ing some description of her gown at
this ‘affair’ or her playing at that.
And all the money John will have to
give her will be what he earns
through hard endeavor. Séems—"
The mother’s voice trailed off sadly.
“John's life has just been spent
overcoming obstacles, big ones all
along the way. He was just a lad
when his father died, and he has been
obliged to fight his way to his desire.”
Tears filled the®faded eyes. Lizzie
briskly put her kettle aside; the last
fragrant cruller was done. Then she
came, smiling and straightening the
ruffies over her arms, straight to the
old lady's side.
“Now, dear,” she said, “don't you
fret. John is going to find just the
right woman, the one woman for him,
because no one could be wholly self
ish, I think, and love your John at
the same time. There is something
so big and fine and noble about him
‘that, well, it just has to bring out no
bleness in another. You see, I know
~for I love your John.”
The mother caught her breath sharp
ly ; unbelieving, she looked up into the
glowing face above her.
Old Mrs, Reynolds stared, then ex
citedly she grased the girl's hands.
“Lizzie,” she cried, “I really wish that
my boy did love you.”
' *You really mean, O John's mother,”
Lizzie asked, “that you would wel
‘come me as John's wife if it should
i happen that he loved me?” \
~ The elder woman’s voice was earn
est. “I would, Lizzie,” she said,
Then Lizzle, with a tremulous Mt
tle laugh, slipped to her knees and
buried her face on the mother’s shoul
der. 3 o
“Then welcome me,” she sald.
‘“for your John and I, we love each
other: I am Betty Standish, dear;
‘Blizabeth Standish, if you please., And
I have deceived you in order to win
Just that welcome. There was no oth
er way after you positively refused to
meet me.” \
The girl raised her face to amile
into the other with its dawning light
of happiness,
“You see,” remarked Lizzie—Betty—
demurely, “I can overcome some ob
stacles mysell." e

BUGG SEEKS FUNDS
Says Cause Is That Strike Cut

(By International Newg Service)
(From Yesterday’s Daily)
ATLANTA, March 15—“ On ac
count of lack of funds the payroll can
not be met today. An effort is being
made to provide funds for this pur
pose”. This notice was posted today
by Receiver B. L. Bugg, of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic,
whose employes are striking against
a wage ‘cut. :
In a statement Col. Bugg said\the
notice “spoke for itself” Revenues
have been almost entirely cut off since
the strike, which became effective
March sth, said the Receiver.
' While grain service is being re
sumed, the road’s revenues are being
interrupted and for ten days since the
fifth the loss in gross earnings
amounted .to $125,000. , The payroll
approximated $lOO,OOO, and is for the

HOLDS UP $35,000 y
IN FITZGERALD
Local bankers stated today that the
failure of the road to meet its pay
roll today will hold up about $35,000
that otherwise would have been
turned ‘loose in Fitzgerald today.
That was approximately the amount
of the March Ist pay roll
It hadbeen reported here today
that the pay checks would reach
Fitzgerald from Atlanta this after
noon to be issued by the freight
agent. Business men and bankers in
close touch with the situation
expressed the opinion that the road
would be able to get funds to meet its
pay roll and the temporary holdifig
up of the money would cause no in
convenience here, merely making it
necessary for merchants to extend
‘credit a few days longer to the men
| concerned.
