FLYING is GREAT STUFF,
SAYS INITIATE IN ART
BY FRANK A. GARBUTT

"Flying is great stuff. 1t beats
sailing in a yacht. 1t feels just as
safe, only there is a little feeling
when you begin to think seriously
about it that if something should
break it wouldn't be 50 fine. If you
can Just keep from thinking about
something which might happen to
the motors and machinery then you
will enjoy flying.
'I certainly did this afternoon. I
tried to sense that feeling of exhil-
aration they talk about, but couldn't
find it. 1t was simply flying to me.
with a feeling that if anything real,
ly did happen and Brookins and [
were dumped into space we would
both just float or glide to earth
without injury, That's the way it
affected me.
"The only mishap we had was
when 1 dropped my glasses and
they fell in Brookins' lap. For fear
of attracting his attention from his
work [ didn't much fuss over the
loss, but he calmly picked them up
and gave them TO me, and L put
them back. just as calmly, think.
"Brookins promised me there
would be nc spiral dips or shoot the
chutes. and there wasn't. We just
sailed along like a boat on a smooth
sea. Gliding into the air and swoop-
ing like a bird down to earth is
great sport and adds thrill to the
trim -

GARLAND AND GARBUTT
SOAR WITH BROOKINS
Aviation Chairman YeIIs 'Goodby,
Boys at Start-'Great
Stuff Says Millionaire

William NJ. Garland, millionaire
realty dealer, and chairman of the
aviation committee, and Frank A. Gar
butt, millionaire yachtsnan, skinned
the skies and looked from dizzy heights
yesterday with Walter r. Brookins,
the daring young aviator as passen-
gers on two of the aviators trips in
his Wright biplane at Dominguez field.
Brookins was forced to swear by all
that was manly that he would 'cut
out" all dips and curves" on the trips
before he secured his distinguished
passengers.
Garland climbed into his seat beside
Brookins without a smile on his face,
and as the motor purred and the pro-
pellers began to buzz glanced anxious
ly over his shoulder.
ITS all right" said Br0okins; that's
just the buzzer."
Good by, boys" cried Garland to
his friends cheerfully. 'If I don't
come back, keep up the good work."
and they were off.
Brookins sailed into space, straight
ahead without so much as the sug-
gestion of a spiral dip or curve, and
rosf gradually to an elevation that af-
forded Garland ample opportunity to
see all that could be seen. He circled
the course and came down with a
smooth glide.
Garbutt was next TO ascend He
wedged himself into his seat first as
certained what to grip without stop
ping the motors, and to a chorus of
good bys from his friends was off into
space. He came back with a smile on
his face and said 1t was great stuff. 4"
The flight of Brookins' passengers
was. watched with great interest by
the crowd.
Garland's flight halted a merry tea
party being given in Mrs. Garland s
private box until the chairman was
safely landed on terra tirma.

the most wonderful kind of sleigh.
A mile ne glided with the engine at
his back making not sound, the two
silver propelers silent and still. The
birdman was as noiseless as the birds
in their flight, and the dethroned
sovereigns of the air fed from him as
unloyal subjects would flee from the
wrath of new king.
NEARLY EQUALS HIS RECORD
To make sure that fate was not put
ting meddlesome hand into his after
noon sport, the manbird pressed lever
and the engine responded true, the pro-
pellers resumed their work.
Gliding gracefully again, with motor
shut off, Hoxsey came to a point about
400 feet over the field Then he set
his engine to work and passed in front
of the cheering stand three times be-
fore descending.
A remarkable feature of the fight is
that Hoxs came within 1900 feet of
equaling his worlds record for alti-
tude, made Monday. His barograph
show d that he had travelled 10005 feet
above sea level.
II went around Mt. Wilson," he said
calmly. "There was a choppy wind up
there and it was very cold, but the
view was une. There's snow on the
other side of the peak. Yes, l glided
down for about three miles. The long
est glide was a mile. 1 came down
pretty fast. 1 didn't go after the rec
ord but think / might have got it,"
The aviator had travelled 100 miles
approximately, including time above
the field. and he had remained in the
air two hot RS, thirty-one minutes. He
left the seat in his car as reluctantly
as a man gives up any cherished
I1n h.
tire afternoon.
This was not the only thrilling spec
tacle for the visitors to aviation field
yesterday.
Brookins and Parmelee gave a re-
markable demonstration of the stage

Arch Hoxsey actually accomplished
yesterday what Walter Wellman;,
Count Zeppelin and other explorers
lfave been doing on paper for several
years. He made n trip into the icy
north in an airship. He made scientinc
observations to the general effect that
ii was very cold there and returned
with a frozen nose and an aneroid bar
ometer registering 10000 feet as PROOF
thereof to offer to 10000 assembled aVl-
alton fans.
The icy north" of this exploration
trip was Mount Wilson. thirty-eight
miles northwest of aviation field as
the crow flies. So far as aviation was
concerned until yesterday 1t was an
unknown region of ice and snow, rear
ing it's peak 5000 feet above the sea.
Now it is what railroads would term
n common point" for the pilgriming
birdman, and it will be charted on the
aerial maps of the world in the future
something like this
Mount Wilson-EXplored by PROT
Archibald Hoxsey December. 1910;
choppy currents; safe for cautious avi-
ators; temperature varying but cold;
nearest landing. Los Angeles"
Explorer Hoxsey, without the fuss or
ado that is generally made over trips
of such a nature, left aviation field in
a black rubber suit, the inevitable
spectacles, a black, fur-lined cap with
its flaps pulled tightly over his ears
and his eyes fixed on a dim outline in
the far distance.
CIRCLES OVER MOUNTAIN
Swinging about a dozen times over
the field, he pulled himself UP to the
5000-foot level and pointed his nose into
the bleak regions of the unknown.
Leaving the field at l p M, he was
sighted by Manager Ross of the Mount
Wilson hotel at 2:2S far overhead.
What the aviator did was to drive
his craft straight for the mountain,
circle around until he was 5000 feet
higher than its topmost point, and then
with the curiosity of a boy, or rather
the scientific inquisitiveness of an ex-
ploring mind, he swooped down little
bit to the other side to see what ma
ture had hidden there.
'Ugh!" he exclaimed as he saw that
the hidden thing was a blanket of
snow, and like a frightened bird he
flew away. On his way back he
reached an altitude 1000 feet higher
than when he was over the mountain.
1t was around 3 o'clock that the
thousands in the stand at aviation
field had their first glimpse of the
aviator again. Then they saw a sill
very speck in the sky that moved
earthward at "a terrific pace. HoXsey
was having his genuine frolic. He had
shut off his motor and like boy on
sled coasting down long hill of snow
he glided down from the heavens in

BROOKINS SAYS AERIAL
GUESTS ENJOYED TRIP
Garland and Garbutt Took Most
Interest in the Harbor
BY WALTER r. BROOKINS

"I took Mr.. Garland and Mr.. Gar
butt of the aviation committee up in
the air with me this afternoon at their
request. Garland ascended first and
Garbutt afterward. Both men were
cool and collected during the fight
and seemed to enjoy it immensely.
They took particular interest in the
lay of the country and the harbor and
did not lose a moment in observation. "
II had given them my word as a gem
tleman that 1 wouldn't dive or turn
short corners so that the machine
would dip OF slant, and we got along
very nicely. Mr.. Garbutt's glasses fell
into my lap and [ got them before they
dropped to EARTH

REFUSES TO SIGN PLEDGE
Hon. J. l.. Browns Name Will Not Appear on Primary Ticket

The Democratic County Commit tee having failed to accept Hon. ]. L. Browns amendment to the pledge required of the candidates, his name will not appear on the ticket in the Democratic primary to be held on the 30th of this month.
 Public announcement of this fact was made by Rev. Brown Monday, and he informs The Journal that he will be candidate for reelection in the coming Sep tember election. His proposition to the committee was that he would pledge himself to support the ticket unless there were known boodlers, grafters or drunkards on the tick ct, and would support all the nom- inees except the known boodlers, grafters and drunkards. The con- mittee refused to accept this pledge and according to rule previously adopted, the committee will not permit his name to appear on the ticket.
 There being no other course open to him, he announces that he will appeal his case to the people, and says if the verdict of the peo- pie in the September election is against him he will accept defeat like a man and without murmur.

MATTER OF IMAGINATION

Life is largely what we believe it to be. We get out of it what we put into it and nothing more. All of the people of a country can- not live on Easy street in city nor reside upon the best improved farm in the country. Every TUT al community cannot enjoy all of the blessings Of every other rural community, because some are more highly favored by nature than others. But everyone can make the best of his surroundings, no matter how they may happen to be situated, but he is going to make the most of them just in pro- portion to his belief that they are worth making something of.
