Fearless, Hopes to Die as
Husband Did.
SEATTLE, Oct. SI.—A pledge made
to her husband, killed in a horrible
pitch from the sky last year, is keep-
In Mrs. Alys H. McKey-Bryant, avla-
trix, In the business of courting a
similar fate In an 80-horsepower bi
plane.
"It was h1s wish," she says stoically
to the pleas of her friends that she
discontinue flying, "to have mo go
ahead after he had rone. That Is
reason enough for me. I shall not
quit. It Is my work—my profession.
"And when I go"—gazing Into the
blue zenith whence her husband came
hurtling on that fatal day in which
he was dashed to earth and horribly
mangled at Victoria, B. C.,—"I want
to go like Johnny did.
"Ju£t a little while before he went
to Victoria he said to me: 'If any
thing ever happens to me I want
you to go ahead Just the same with
your flights. Make a mark for your
self. I know you can dot It, little girl,
and It would please me."
And so Mrs. Bryant Is going ahead.
At this year’s Potlatch celebration
here she will compete with men avia
tors in attempting to set a new alti
tude record, flirting with death under
fatalistic Indifference In order to do
this she must overtop Silas Christof-
ferson’s mark of 19,300 feet, a dis
tance of four miles above the city.
Mrs. Bryant, already holding the
Pacific Coast record for women flyers,
3,800 feet, Is confident that she can do
this.
Wants No Uncertainty.
"When It comes time to go," she
announces, "1 want to go the way
Johnny did. There will be no un
certainty about that sort of finish.
I unpt.i prefer it to a minor accl-
denr * hat might leave me helple:
to exist for years useless to the
world.
"Borne of the happiest moments
of my life were spent with Johnny
while we were flying together. He
taught me everything 1 know about
the air game, and was la ways proud
of my accomplishment. His confi
dence helped me to do what I have
already achieved, and will help me
this year."

?he was told that "they could go in
there if they liked." That led to her

fine, beautiful complexion if you use
Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
They contain no poisonous drug of
any kind, are perfectly harmless and

nent factor in the development of
practical education in the South.

There is no department of human
enterprise in which competition is
keener at the present day than that
which has to do with life insurance,
but competition means progress, and
progress means improvement, as every
intelligent person can understand. So
that to-day the field is an open one
and a clear one for organizations that
are both able and willing to convert
theory into practice w henever the oc
casion may arise. The subject of life
insurance is one that has engaged
the highest intellects of this country
and provoked the most animated dis
cussions in leading journals between
the advocates of the various forms of
insurance; but the old limited legal
reserve plnn has stood the test, and is
to-day more in favor than ever be
fore. A company that has this plan
and which Is starting out with the
best of prospects, ably officered by
men who have made life insurance a
study and mastered its principles, is
the Interstate Life Insurance Compa
ny, of Gainesville, Fla. The company
expects to be in full operation by De
cember 1 of this year, and at a meet
ing of Its stockholders held here re
cently great enthusiasm was mani
fested over the outlook for the com
pany, the number of stockholders
being already 455 and scattered over
31 counties of Florida, embracing 103
postoffices, thus showing that the or
ganization Is practically State-wide
in scope already, and indicates that
citizens of all sections are confident
that the field offers exceptional op
portunities for a great insurance or
ganization. A fact also that is worthy
of mention is that during times of
financial depression, such as we are
now passing through, business men
are always prone to buy more insur
ance, realizing that life insurance is
one of the best assets that tcan be
procured.
The election of officers for the ensu
ing year resulted as follows: E. C.
Chltty, president; George P. Long, C.
Matheson, M. Venable, vice presi
dents; Bfl R. Colson, treasurer; J. J.
Bell, assistant treasurer; W. E. Ba
ker, secretary; R. G. Madden, assist
ant secretary.
The following were elected to con
stitute the board of directors: E. C.
Chitty, Mlcanopy; Robert Blankinba-
ker, Center Hill; D. W. Pinholster,
Brooker; M. Venable, Archer; J. B.
Stockman, Trenton; R. A. McGeechy,
Milton; R, L. Baker. Plant City;
George P. Long, B. R. Colson, C.
Matheson, W. E. Baker, Gainesville.
With its present equipment and
composed of stockholders from many
sections of the State, tho company is
well fitted to undertake the writing of
insurance, and with its modern meth
ods and well-trained officers it has
every facility for entering the Insur
ance field. The w’rlter takes pleasure
in calling attention to this new' or
ganization through the columns of
this paper.
