Stoop-shouldered, with near
sighted eyes, bent so closely over
her work that the whirling wheels
of her power machine blow her
hair, Ellen barters all the promise
of her STRAIGHTFORWARD. clear-eyed
young womanhood for $3.50 a
week.
| For nine hours a day. six days In

their intense watchfulness over the
dainty and even stitching. Her
hands and feet never lose control
of the power sewing machine that
roars relentlessly from 1880 in the
morning until $50 at night.
There were 10 women and girls
in the squad, of which Ellen was
one and myself another. The 10
girls turned out SO articles a day

In the room where 30 Of US

by electricity. and the roar of the
machines was so great that even
by raising my voice to the loudest
possible volume l could not make

the table hear he.
The machinery was old.
Ellen told ME that though her

smiled patiently. 81.
Some Of the girls wore glasses,

of fresh and smooth-faced girls.
During the lunch hour. which
according to my carefully regu-
lated timepiece lasted from As

promised so, Ellen and l had some
long talks.

WILD-EYED CONVICTS
GAZE UP AT MOISANI
Twelve Hundred Of Them See Flight Which
Aviator Made for Their Special Benefit at
Request of The Times Dispatch

Sailing along through the upper air
with the ease and grace Of an eagle.
John B. Moisant flew over the CITY
yesterday afternoon and hovered like
huge bird above the State Peniten-
tiary. Twelve hundred convicts gazed
skyward as the tiny monoplnne cir
cled and ducked above the great walls,
while the hand of the master aviator
guided Its movements with the same
skill that a bird cuts back and forth
through the air Cheer after cheer
split the air as the men and women In
stripes watched Moisant do his best
for those who could not if they would
pay the price OF admission. They ap-
preciated the show, but deep down In
their hearts We're more sincere thanks
for the people who remembered them
While all the world was aviation crazy
and willing to pay good money to see
performances of less merit. They were
thankful TO the man who risked even
his life in the high wind to shed a
ray Of light inside the walls where
there is little else than toll.
Quick to Accept 1t.
Early yesterday the suggestion of a
penitcntiary flight was made to Mois-
ant by The Times Dispatch, and he
jumped at 1t. At that timo the wind
was far too high to attempt a cross
city flight but he promised to make

3 O'Clock the lull came and he did not
lose a moment. Previously he had
driven from the aviation field III an
automobile, compass in hand, to get
his bearings and had located with
great care the buildings of the peni-
Tertiary SO that there could be no mis-
take.
The, Bleriot was tuned up ready for
the flight, and when the call came a
telephone message was sent Superin-
tendent Wood, OF the prison, and the
motor was started Getting his alti-
tude, Aolsant started in southerly
direction, and while he had an idea
as to where the prison could be found,
he had never sev1 It. He got within
its locality, but in clrclng he crossed

those gloomy, unmstakable walls be-
low, so he cut toward them and swung
around. The, convicts saw him.

When their sad eyes had feasted for
fleetlng moment on the strange
thing above, Moisant cut away again,
taking a northeasterly course. Exactly

apart could not tell precisely. But he

Building and headed again toward the
pententiary. The guards on the walls
saw and sung down to the army in
stripes. Those sad eyes were lifted
again. and this time Moisant was fly
ing lower that the prisoners might
get better view. He dipped his

breathless twelve hundred, dipped
again and waved his hand in answer
to their cheers, and darted toward tho
them glimpse of something which
would drive other thoughts out Of
their brain.

colored-and unless one or two through
fear or Indifference chose to remain In
their cells or shut their eyes, they all
saw Moisant on his flying visit. Elf

begun from the Fair Grounds. Mr.
Wood was notified and as quickly US
possible he went from one department
to the other announcing the event and
instructing the guards to marshal

girls Varsity will play the girls from
Paramount college at Wichita. Experts
who saw the local team play the high

team has been playing together year
longer than the Topeka team has. Ia
fact the only hope of a Washburn
victory this year depends on the Goods.
Since five out of the six members of
the mems squad have been declared in

has been given up
