interested in the work of the bird men
to cooperate with our army and navy.
1t Is called the United States Aero
nautical reserve and already has over
5000 members, who propose to lose
no time in making the society an eff
fective adjunct to the nations often
sive and defensive forces.
Heretofore the airship has been
more of O toy than anything else,
largely because 1t has not advanced
much beyond that state, but from now
on an effort will be made to develop
the machine and train men so that
they will be important factors in case
of hostilities. France has already
done this, and England and Germany
are endeavoring to overtake their alert
rival. Here in the United States, so
distant from any other first class pow
er, the incentive to employ the heav-
Ter than air machine for military pur-
poses has not been great. But in the
future we should be as well IL not
better prepared to hold our own In
this direction as any nation in the
world.
The United States Aeronautical re-
serve is nation wide association Of
aeroplane inventors, professional and
amateur aviators, designers and build
ers Of aeroplane engines and other
aerial equipment, army and navy Off
cials prominent in the regular service
and in the militia Of the states, finan-
ciers, statesmen, newspaper men,
sportsmen and hundreds of others in
terested in aeronautics, from Presi-
dent Taft down to the humblest aero
plane mechanic, and they are all band
ed together to advance the aeroplane
as war engine, to make something
better Of 1t than a mere exhibition
toy and Of its aviators something be-
sides air chasers of prize money.
Clifford B. Harmon, best known of
the amateur aviators, has been ap-

pointed chief Of staff Of the reserves,
while the sons Of Thomas It. Ryan,
the well known financier, are taking
an important part in the work, John
Barry Ryan holding the office Of COM
modore Of the association. The other
son Of Mr.. Ryan, Allan A., is now a
prominent figure in aviation in this
country, being manager Of the inter-
national air tournament at Belmont
park. Governors and other prominent
men in various states are also officers
Of the reserves, which will have their
headquarters In New York. The ac-
tive members include only drivers Of
aeroplanes and owners, designers, in
ventors, builders and others who are
doing practical work for the advance
ment of aviation.
Not so long ago you could have
counted all the bird men who had done
anything to speak of in the air on the
fingers of one hand; today it would be
like counting an immense flock of
sheep In the field, for in the past
year or two they have sprung up like
mushrooms, and almost every day their
ranks are being added to. Many Of
these fiiers were expert mechanics or
inventors before turning their atten-
ton to aviation, others automobile
drivers who craved more remunera-
tive and exciting sport, while a large
number took it up merely as pas
time, only to become devoted to the art
of flying and world famous for their
achievements. OF course the magnet
to attract most of them has been the
fame and riches to be gained In this
new and daring profession,
Among those who have only recently
gained fame for their achievements In
aviation is Walter s. Brookins, who
broke the worlds record for cross
country continued fight few weeks
ago. With only two stops he made the
trip from Chicago to the state fair at
Springfield, ILL.,, a distance of 1876 miles,
N five hours and forty-three minutes,
maintaining an average speed Of 1921
miles an hour For this trip he won a
prize of $4,000, Brookins is the
youngest aviator in the world, being
but twenty-five, and is pupil Of the
Wright brothers and their representa-
five at the international meet. He Is

that he was supposed to be Span
lard, and, it was only after this trip
that Europe finally learned his nation
ality. What made the journey all the
more remarkable was the fact that it
was only the fifth time he had gone
up in an aeroplane, and he was looked
upon by European bird men as an am
ateur from whom they had little to
fear in the way of losing their laurels.
Recently Moissant returned to Amer
lea to take part in the contests at Bel
mont park, and his work is attracting
much attention.
Another recent feat to astonish the
world was that Of George Chavez, the
first man to fly over the Alps in an
aeroplane and who died from injuries
in fall at the end of his trip. The
passage of Chavez was extremely i'm
pressive and was witnessed by a group
Of the Augustine friars from the hos
pice. Like gigantic bird with white
outstretched wings the spectators first
saw the machine hugging the flank of
the mountain and above the yawning
Saltine gorge. The wind was blowing
at the rate Of three meters second,
and the airship rocked perceptibly as
IL passed over the heads of the cheer
ing spectators at height of above
450 feet. Chavez took the Monsera
route, crossing the pass at an altitude
Of more than 5000 feet.
A little more than century ago Ma
poleon built the great military road
over 1t, an engineering feat which will
forever be regarded as highly credit
able. Five years ago railroad tunnel
cut through twelve and half miles
of mountain rock and earth was open
ed as another and quicker means Of
travel. That, too, was marvellous
work. There has since remained but
one other method Of passage across the
mountains, and that was achieved when
Chavez's aeroplane circled up 5000
feet into the frosted air and shot over
the depression into Italy.
The accident occurred as Chavez was
endeavoring to make a landing at Dor
nodassola. The Alps had been crossed
successfully, and the aviator was de-
scending gracefully with the power of
his machine shut off. When about thir-
ty feet above the ground a sudden gust
of wind seemed to catch the mono-
plane, which turned over and fell, car
rying down Chavez with it. When the
crowds that had been watching the de-
scent ran up they found Chavez dying.
Still another bird man to gain much
fame recently is Claude Grahame-
White, the R''tish aviator, whose bril-
liant work at one meet in this country
netted him $4,000 in cash prizes. He

fame by his remarkable achievement

now with the abolition Of the tandem

Convenience for Performers.

The dressing rooms, the closets in which
common ordinary actor folk are trans
formed in a few moments into black face
alluring oriental beauties, or shimmery
soubrettes, are large and numerous. This
is proved by that fact that the opening
bill. with its fifty chorus girls, although II
did cause some inconvenience, was housed
and taken care Of.
There is, however, no chorus dressing
room as is found in a theater that regu-
larly exhibits musical comedies and a
temporary green room had to be put up
for the chorus girls convenience. This
was done in a tent located east of the
theater on a vacant lot. In this green room
the members of the chorus gather every
night after they have put on their cos
tunes and gossip and discuss the fasci-
mating details of their profession. On hot
evenings il has been a very pleasant re-
lief for them and they have been glad OF
