A|RMEN WILL FLY
IN Los ANGELES
English and French Aviators Will
Appear Here During Janu-
ary Exhibition
SCHEDULE WOMAN AERIALIST
Americans to Participate in Meet.
Drexe and Grahame-White
May Aid Performances

English and French aviators who
have never been seen in this country
but whose performances abroad have
won them international renown will
come to Los Angeles this winter to
participate in the big aviation meet to
be held In January under the auspices
of the Aero Club of California Yes
terday the aviation committee re-
ceived favorable replies to invitations
sent to three prominent English air
men, and negotiations with several of
the French aviatoss have reached a
stage where their appearance here is
practically assured.
The meeting probably will be held
on the dates already announced, jan
uary IL to %. The date has not yet
been fixed by the Aero ClubNpf Amer
lea, but there seems little doubt that
the request of the local organization
will be granted.
The Englishmen who will come
here are Cody, Harding and Gibbs.
Cody will bring a big British army
aeroplane, a fast biplane just built
and his war kites Harding has two
]. A. p. monoplanes, one of ninety
five-horse power, which is credited
with a speed of eighty miles an hour,
while Gibbs has two machines for
entry I'm the open events
The Frnch aviators who are ex-
pected to come here are Leon Bathiat,
who uses a Hanriot monoplane; G. p.
Weiss, with a Koechlin monoplane,
and Champel, who has a Paulhan
biplane.
With the Frenchmen will come
Madame Marthe Mel, one of the
three Frenchwomen holding aviators'
licenses, and whose exploits in the
air have made her the rage in Paris.
The local committee has found that
foreign aviators can be brought here
for about the same amount asked by
the American bird men, including their
transportation both ways.
EUROPEANS ADD INTEREST
Members of the committee believe,
too. that the contests will prove more
interesting If European aviators are
entered, since there seems to be a dis
position on the part of the Americans
to demand guarantees rather than
compete for liberal cash prizes.
This does not mean. however. that
no Americans will participate in the
meet. On the contrary, native flyers
doubtless will outnumber the French
and English entrants combined. La
than and Radley are now in San
Francisco and their manager will be
in Los Angeles today to discuss terms
with the committee.
Grahame- White, who, though he is
an Englishman, is quite as well known
on this side of the Atlantic as at
home. and A. J. Drexel are in Phila-
delphia and may be induced to come
to Los Angeles. Other aviators also
are communicating with the managers
of the Los Angeles meet and every
thing points to a most successful
seaso =.

Our North Penobscot correspondent

Mrs. Emma Nj. Devereux, widow of
Willard Devereux, who was formerly
Emma Foster, OF Ellsworth. had known
Mrs. Devereux forty years ago or more,
having spent many pleasant hours at her
home, where she was most genial enter-
tainer and ideal housekeeper. and had
desire to know how the old lady was get

s.She still lives alone in the house she
has occupied since her marriage to Mr..
Devereux, and was surprised to find her
so bright and smart. She will be ninety
years old in February. She can see we'll
without glasses, does her own homework,
and works some for her neighbors. Her
house is kept in perfect order and shines
with the polish OF expert cleanliness.
ssWhen girl she wss. in feeble health,
and her mother thought her chances of
rearing her to womanhood were very slim.
In recent years she has had several ILL
nesses, but has come out o, them without
any organic trouble. She is in possession
of all her faculties, and doesn't look more
than ten years older than she did forty
years ago. She has always been an active
woman, and alive to everything that
would be Of benefit to mankind.
.Of cheerful disposition, ever looking
on the bright side OF life. with no time to
spend over imaginary difficulties or I'M
duly mourning over losses she could not
prevent, happy in her family relations,
and with plenty OF friends. this little
woman is growing old beautifully"
