THE WOMAN WHO FLEW.
How q Boston Lady Woa Esa1s Title,
by Which She Is Known Among
Her Friends.

To mount into the air upon one OF
the bars forming the frame of huge
kite is a feat which would seem too
perilous to be undertaken, and yet it
has recently been done by a woman.
Mrs. Armenia Rice, of Boston, has the
unique distinction of being the first to
use kite as an aerial vehicle, says the
Metropolitan Magazine. What is
more, this daring woman enjoyed the
experience so keenly that she declares
her intention of making this her chief
pastime in the future. The kite upon
which she made her venturesome
fight was built for her by her hus-
band, Mr.. Dan Rice, Jr.
81 never had such delightful sensa
tion," declared she, "as l experienced
when my kite was given it's freedom
and l rose gently into the air. The
ascent was made gradually and evenly
as bird wings it's fight. There was no
jerking, no terrible breath-taking
rush, but just a delightful glide into
space, away from the noise of the city
into the mystery of the ether.
people said / was foolhardy when
they first learned of my intention to
take the trip, and they declared that
one experience would satisfy me, for
if l ever reached the earth alive l
would be content to live in the lower
regions with the rest of mortals. Be-
fore the kite was set free / thought
possibly public opinion for once was
correct, for / am naturally a little
fearsome of the unknown and untried
but once well on my way upward
knew that my life on earth would, in
the future, be miserable unless l could
occasionally take my kite and fly
away from the dull level of the city"
Mrs. Rice says that when Santos-Du'
mont crosses the ocean in his arising
she will meet him above the clouds in
her strange vehicle. She has already
been up 200 feet above the business
districts of Boston, and in the depth Of
winter, without experiencing any dis
comfort, so that she feels confident
that she can go upward to height O.
5000 feet in summer time without any
danger.
Mrs. Rice's monster kite has woodel
strips running from the top to the bot
tom, IA feet in length; the little bar a
the bottom on which she stands meas
ures five feet in length. The two bi!

white wings for the sides of the kite
are IA feet long. The line is three
eighths-ineh bell rope, made Of Italian
FAX, and will withstand a strain of
1000 pounds.
Dressed as a boy, so as to attract as
little attention as possible, Mrs. Rice
made her first ascent from the top of
a building in Boston. She has made
balloon ascensions, walked a tight
wire far above the ground, ara swung
trapezes, "but the kite sensation was
not at all like these" says she.
GAS 1 walk up the wire the earth
seems to fall away from me and a
feeling of weakness comes over me.
When you go up in balloon it is quite
the same feeling of the earth falling
away from you, but as 1 went up with
the kite the sensation was different
altogether. There was no shock. nc
nervous tremor. but just peculiarly
delightful sensation of flying. AS
rose above the mist and fog of the city,
flying along through the sky. l felt
that I could float on forever in happy
forgetfulness of all below"

and the stroke of pen, come suddenly
under the control of the Stars and
Stripes and the indomitable spirit of
American energy. And with the cap
turing at one fell swoop of large part
of the shipping interests of the world
will undoubtedly come such impetus
to the shipbuilding industry of the
country as to soon place the United
States in the foreground, if not the
lead, of the shipbuilding nations of
the world.
To-day Great Britain probably
builds four-fifths of the worlds ocean
going tonnage, while the production
of the substantial number of es-
Establishments in the United States,
equipped with every essential for the
construction of ocean-going ships of
every type, is strangely limited to the
construction of warships and of YES
sells for our domestic trade, except for
the infrequent and spasmodic re-
quirements of few courageous ship
owners who persist in operating Amer
ican-built ships in foreign trade. All
this may soon be changed, and "the
Ships that Pass in Night" may be of
American construction.
This anomalous condition of Ameri-
can shipyards, in respect of equip
ment for and output of ocean-going
shipping, has attracted widespread at
tention and provoked worldwide COM
ment. The demand for vessels in the
foreign trade is so great that if it were
=. ~ he
average annual construction of these
yards would be increased fully one
third in tonnage and probably doubled
in value, for the types of vessels
engaged in the foreign trade are
much more costly than those en-
ployed in domestic trade. Precisely
what should be done to increase
United States shipping in foreign
trade is the much discussed and still
unsolved American maritime problem.
The completeness of the decline of
American shipping in the foreign trade
may be briefly illustrated by quota
tions from the statistical history Of
the growth of the foreign commerce
of the United States. showing the share
| in its carriage taken by American ships
| in the earlier years compared with the
present time. In 1926 American YES

FIRST LADY OF CUBA.

band and Family and Has Ne
Fads Or FancieS.

A writer in the Wo-nan's Home
Companion gives the following inter-
esting facts about the wife and chill
dren of Gen. Palma, the first presi-
dent of Cuba:
The family of Gen. Palma is an in
teresting one. He has six children
four boys and two girls. Sonora Es-
trada has borne up remarkably under
the strain that the wife of a fighting
patriot is always under. She has no
fads or fancies. Her world is the
four-story frame house in Central
Valley that has sheltered the family
for eighteen years and seen the birth
of five of her children. Whether or

not there is some sentimentality at
tached to this latter fact, the truth
is that Sonora Estrada would rather
remain in this unpretentious home
than occupy the palatial palace in
Havana and shine as the first lady of
Cuba. She possesses to great de-
gree those Latin-race characteristics
devotion to husband and Love of
offspring. The great social RESPONSE
bilities that will devolve upon her in
the position she is to occupy she
fears may interfere with her share
of bringing up her children rs good
men and women. The latter are
good-looking, sturdy children. Jose.
the oldest, is 10 years old. He
was born in Honduras, and came here
when a year old. He is law stu
dent at Columbia university. When
at home Jose acts as secretary for his
father. Tomas, Jr., is II, and at
tends school at Newburg, as does his
sister Candelaria, who is IL. The
three youngest are Carlos and Luz
twins of seven years-and Rafael, six,
whom the father refers to as his
| baby.
Gen. Palma became acquainted
with Senorita Guardiola, whose faith
er had been president of the republic
of Honduras 20 years ago. She was
his prettiest daughter, courted and
feted. and with the proverbial thou
sand suitors at her feet. Senorita
Guardiola was a sympathetic listener
to the tales of hardships under the
Spanish rule, which the brave general
related. Even to-day, in talking of
those tranquil days of his wooing fol-
lowing the years of conflict, he
quotes, ''She loved me for the dar-
gers I had passed, and 1 loved her
that she did pity them"

Tact Superior to Talent.

Talent is something, but tact is
everything. Talent is serious, sober,
grave and respectable; tact is all
that, and more, too. It is not an
other sense, but the life of the five
senses. 1t is the open eye, the quick
ear, the judging taste, the keen smell
and the lively touch. 1t is the inter-
prefer of all riddles-the sarmounter
of all difficulties. 1t is useful in soil
tude, for it shows man his way into
the world. Talent is power; tact is
skill; talent is weight; tact is mo-
mentum. Talent knows what to do;
tact knows how to do it. Talent
makes man respectable; tact makes
him respected. Talent is wealth;
tact is ready money. For all the
practical purposes of life, tact car
ries against talent ten to one.-N. Y.

shipping interests of the country have
not kept pace with growth in other di-
rections, and the nation is just begin
ming to wake up to its needs in this re-
spect.
The domestic, water-borne traffic of
the United States is confined to ves-
sells constructed and owned in the
United States, and the growth of ship
ping in the domestic trade seems to
be all that can be desired. The recent
territorial acquisitions of the United
States, extending to the West Indies
and the islands of the Pacific, our trade
with which must be confined to vessels
built in the United States, holds prom
Use to shipbuilders of demand for
ocean-going vessels adapted to the
trade requirements and harbor facil-
tiles of the ports of these possessions.
Moreover, it is likely that the future
growth of the navy will afford employ
ment for many shipyards.
During the past decade, 2o6,771 tons
of ships for foreign trade were built

period 12,077,359 tons of steel steam
