AV|ATORS NERVE
FULLY TESTED IN
MIDNIGHT JOY-RIDE
Walter BrOOkins Proves in Auto
That Despite Accident He
Can "Come Back"

ASBURY PARK. Aug 1S.-With the
new trade Of %aeroplane driving, there
have arisen new conditions and re-
quirements, and of these the first is
nerve. 1t was because they figured
that young Walt Brookins's nerve
might have gone in the accident he met
with lasr week that last night he was
given a trying out that might have
tested the equanirnity OF a wooden In
dian.
The assaying of Brookins's nerve was
lone in twentieth century fashion. They
piled the boy with his eyes still black
ened and his nose a purplish blob into
a high-powered automobile and spun
him over the dark roads of Monmouth
county al a sixty-mile gait. They
swung around curves on two wheels,
tore along the straightaways at a
speed that made the hair of the occu-
pants of the automobile stand back
ward like wind-driven flames. Every
device to intensity the wild excitement
of h ride was resorted to. Brookins
stood the test like a bit of steel.

Then they gave him the wheel and

showed his vacant gums. He clambered
out of h tonneau, where he had been
sitting with a physicians finger on his
pulse. and sat In the drivers seat. And
then he let that car go. He spun 1t
along the dark roads until even his
companions said, That's enough, Walt;
you're all right"
1t was then about midnight, and
TY~~o1t~- ----A - -
top, preparatory to going a1oft today,
the first sanction day of the meet.
DR.. Adamson, who patched up Brook
ms after the accident and had been
in attendance on him ever since, is
said to have suggested the auto trip
after a consultation with Wilbur
Wright. Both agreed that If Brookins's
nerve was not good 1t would be little
short of murder to end him UP in an
attempt to<capture the altitude laurels
and nail them down for some time to
come. It was agreed that If he stood
the test of a night ride over the dark
roads without the turn of a hair he
would be fit for the attempt to climb
$1,000 feet.
Great. Says BrookIns. <
At first Brookins sat silent In the tom
neau. and 1t was not till the engine got
warmed up and settled down to bust
ness that he turned to DIR. Adamson.
"This is great!" he said. "Hit 1t upl"
Coffyn and DR.. Adamson heard his
comments with delight. His nerve
was as unshattered as the day he
pulled his checked cap peak backward
at Atlantic City and made his record
of $3.50 feet altitude. But the crucial
test remained. Could he drive the car
through the darkness himself at the
same speed thai the professional
driver had maintained? As results
showed, Brookins not only could, but
did, Inc In this case, at least, the bug
aboo of aviators' vanished nerve did
not materialize.
DIR. Adamson says that Brookins Is
capable of giving the flight of his life,
If only the weather will allow him.
With a rising barometer and a notice
able dying out of the dry n~ortheaster
that has been sweeping across Asbury
Park for the past twenty-four hours,
the prospects for a good day of flying
seem to be good.

NJ. G. Burch, assistant attorney gen.

and J. NJ. Dickey, first assistant dis.

that transfers and mortgages of vast
tracts of valuable timber land OH the
White Earth Indian reservation in
Northern Minnesota be declared null
and void, on the ground that the allot-
tees, being full blooded Indians, had
no right either to sell or mortgage
their allotments.
Attorney General Wickersham about
a year ago began IN investigation of
alleged swindling of full blooded In
dams of their lands and timber. The
Indian affairs department brought the
matter to the attention of the attor-
ney general, alleging that numerous in
terests were getting full bloods to de-
clare themselves mixed bloods, to sell

less than their real value. Under the
law, a full blood cannot sell or mort
gage his land and timber, but a mixed
blood can.
