RISKS IN %BALlOONING.
Opposing Views on Flying Expressed
BY Mime. Bleriot and Mrs. harbord.

by Mime. Bleriot and Mrs. Harbord.
Aviation. as yet scarcely born. has
already become a favorite sport with
women aeronauts are few, but there
are enough OF them in Paris to form q
good sized club. and elsewhere i'm Eu-
rope the love Of aerial sports is gain
ing ground rapidly among m In
fact, as Nine. Louis Bleriot. wife OF
the intrepid aviator who crossed the
English channel on July %. puts it.
Aviation has conquered les femmes
simultaneously with the air"
1T is a mistake" Nine. Bleriot say
in an article published in n Paris pa
per after her husband had crossed the
channel. Ito suppose hat women are
timid. Their love Of novelty constrains
them TO love danger also. They love
movement and originality, and avia-
ton promises to give them all this"
The Hon. Mrs. Assheton Harbord Of
England does not agree with Nine.
Bleriot in thinking that h danger OF
aviation appeals to women. On the
contrary. she maintains that. So far as
ballOoning is concerned. there Is no
danger. but that most people think
there is. and women who risk their
lives daily in mOtorcars are afraid to
trust themselves in the air.
"Ballooning is neither so dangerous
nor so expensive as motoring" says
Mrs. Hartford. "ln fact. with ordinary
care 1t is an absolutely safe recrea-
ton. OF the several dangers that pre-
sent themselves to the mind OF the
novices ! think the most common is
the fear that the balloon may burst or
get torn. 1t would indeed be a dread
full disaster II when one was several
thousands of feet above the earth the
balloon were to burst. but probably
this is a danger that is nonexistent.
When the mouth Of a balloon is open
there Is no pressure upon 1t, and 1t Is
simply impossible for 1t to burst. And
II by some strange mischance q bal
loon were to get torn 1t would not real
~ imperil the safety of the occupants
Of the ear. for it would simply de-
scend slowly to the earth instead OF
falling. as many people imagine. like q
dead weight"
Even an electric storm need not
cause fear. Mrs. Hartford thinks. She
got into one once when crossing the
channel. and the lightning played
about the car in a most magnificent
and terrifying manner. but she went
through 1t without mishap. Once when
obliged to descend while travelling at a
high rate Of speed the members Of the
party were thrown rather violently out
Of the car and entered Holland on
their heads. but all escaped with no
more injury than q severe shaking.

The first legislative victory won by the
women of Alabama was the passage OF
law requiring instruction in the public
schools upon the effects of alcohol upon
the human system. 1t was the first time
in the history Of Alabama that the women
ever attempted any such thing, but they
showed great zeal and tact, and We're
successful in the face of great Opposi-
tion. Upon this law was founded the
prohibition sentiment which has devel-
-oped such proportions in twenty years.
The next step was to secure the passage
of local option law, which was also
gained by hard work, committees of wom-
en- representing different parts of the
state being constantly on guard during
the crusade to vote whisky out of the
several counties. The men proposed
to begin with the little ones. but the
women DECIDED that the most populous

under the direction of Mrs. j. D. Mat
lock of Birmingham, and now have an
organization in. every school district, ev-
cry village. every city. and county
througout the state. In 1907 they per-
suaded the legislature to appropriate q
million dollars to build new schoolhouses
which are. now being erected. They are
working among the people of each
