TO GEORGE CHAVEZ. AVIATOR.


Hail to the man Bird.
Cleaving the Skies.
Onward and upward
SIN higher he flies.
The Alps are his hurdle.
No fear In his SOUL.
With the wings of an eagle,
Gods clouds are his goal.
No winds Ger deter him.
Wild storms he will fight:
His courage will father
A wonderful flight.
Onward and upward,
White clouds he will distance;
The rarified air
win meet his resistance.
No dizziness follows
Ger the path Of the eagle;
Why weary the body
To climb Is SO feeble.
Push out from safe meorings
And fash through the air.
Why crawl like the lizzards
Use wings--a strong pair.
Man rides the waves safely,
His ships sail the sea.
His thoughts travel swiftly
Ger the path OF the bee.
IL the bird sails aioft
Rising high upon ether.
VIII man yield the palm
And lie down Tar beneath her?
All, no, he will copy
Each feather she spreads,
And rest day nor night
Till her secret he WEEDS.
Then up toward the snow caps.
Wild, reckless. he'll dash,
Across the great mountain
His frail craft he'll fash.
For Milan fsA sails
With courage undaunted;
His reward there awaits him,
But that rarse is not wanted.
AS the crest lis surnourted
Tho wild eagle screams.
As the valley In cited.
With Joy his eye beams.
Downward and downward
Like an arrow he flashes;
This man-bira SO daring
Dreams not Or the ashes.
All, see him. he auivers

His legs are all broken,
He falls short of the purse;
But the record he's made

He has set the example
Man wilisnot despair,
A victory once won

And other brave men

AGED WOMAN IS FATALLY BURNED BY UPSET LAMP

Through the upsetting of lamp in her room at 114 Burroughs street. Mrs. Ellen Robertson. widow. aged 75 was badly and perhaps fatally burned last night. At the Bridgeport hospital, whither she was taken in the ambu- lance, it was reported this morning that her condition is very grave and that her chances for recovery are slight indeed
 Mrs. Robertson occupied little room over the home of the Rev. Will liam Ritzman. pastor of the German Baptist church. Last night about 10 o'clock, while moving about her room. she overturned the kerosene lamp. The lamp broke and the burning oil ignited Mrs. Robertson's clothes and spread the flames throughout the room.
 Hearing her screams. Pastor Ritz man rushed upstairs and attempted to smother the flames upon her. the en- tire room then being ablaze. He finally put out the fire and the ambu- lance corps was summoned. Mrs. Robertson was bathed in carron oil and removed to the Bridgeport hos pital. Owing to the terrible nature of her burns her chances for recovery are practically nil.

DIR. THOMPSON IS KEEPING UP WAR
 ON DEGENERATES
Addresses Associated Charities Along Lines of the Far
 mer'S Interview

Further outlining her plans as originally given in an interview pup- lished exclusively by The Farmer, D. H. Adeline ~ Thompson addressed a meeting of the Associated Charities yesterday afternoon and impressed upon the women present the need of drastic legislation to protect woman kind against waves of lust crimes, suchN as the epidemic disclosed in Bridgeport at present.
 From her viewpoint as @ physician Dr. Thompson outlined the deadly menace which will always exist so long as dcgenerates are allowed to roam around the streets. The punish ment for crimes such as the one. which have recently mortified and dis gusted the city, pr. Thompson be- 'ieves should be unseXing, as a pre- lection to both the present and the future generations. Such a law in operation in the course of time would effectually stamp out the breed of de- generates. This law is now in opera ton in the state of Illinois and is un- der consideration in many other states.
 It is suggested that a petition be drawn up, to which signatures may be affixed. Dr. Thompson exonerates most of mankind from the shame of the crimes of which a few human brutes are guilty,
