HIS SISTER TO
LEARN FLYING
Moissant Girl, Despite Broth.
er's Death, Studying the
Aeroplane Art

New York, July 17.-Miss Matilde
Moissant, sister of the late John B.
Moissant, whose exploits in the air
probably did more than those of any
other man to give America a place
in international aviation, plans to fol-
low her brother John in the conquest
Of the air. She is enrolled as a pupil
in the Moissant school Of aviation at
Mineola. L. l., and has high hopes of
winning a pilots license before long.
Miss Moisssnt in learning to man
age a monoplane is opposed by her
entire family because of the death of
her brother at New Orleans last year.
. Level Head Is Chief Requirement
Managing an aeropNane of any
type needs more common sense than
anything else" she explained today.
"Of course, one must have bit of
pluck and bit Of training, but
level head is the chief requirement. I
have been studying aviation only
few weeks, but already l feel myself
capable Of making q fight.
II really did get off the ground
Thursday, but it was an accident and
l went only a few feet l tried to
persuade Andrew Haupert. my in
structor at Mineola, to permit me to
go aloft day or two ago, be he
would not consent. You see l have
not graduated from the 'grasscutting'
stage, but l did more on my first day
than many Of the pupils do in week.
I $h4 10,
straight line, difficult feat for a be-
ginner and l actually rose in the air,
though of course, did not mean to.
Il want to get pilots license just
as soon as 1 can. mean to be a
good flyer or no flyer at ALL"
Il saw Paulham fly in San Francis
co about eighteen months ago, and I
determined then would fly. Not so
long afterward / came east to see my
brother fly at Belmont park. He had
promised to take my sister and me
aloft with him, but his passenger-car-
rying machine was wrecked before
we had chance to make a fight.
Old Longing Came Back
when John landed at Belmont
park after winning the Statue of Lib
erty prize was more determined than
ever to fly. Then came Johns death
and Of course l vowed would never
attempt to operate an aeroplane.
But the old longing came back
some time ago and gained on me until
decided to acquire the art of man
aging a monoplane. My family has
opposed me in every way, but am
determined.
II am going to Mineola tomorrow
night and stay there until I am
an expert in the air or until decide
that I can never acquire the art and
abandon the attempt.
II think any one can learn to fly,
but don't think that every one can
become q really great aviator, and
that is what mean to be. be-
lieve it is born in me. I have no
feeling Of fear when get into the
machine. I know shall learn to do
the things my brother did, and may
be other things
A. ]. Moissant, brother, had been
listening to his sister, and when she
paused he interjected:
''Nine-tenths Of the success in aero
planes nowadays is due to the oper-
ator. The average machine is such
an unfinished product it really counts
only about one-tenth In the flying"

Upon our own delightful bed.
light is the time fer dreams;
The gay romance IF life,
When truth that Is and truth that

Blend in fantastic strife:
All! Visions less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are.
Night is the time for toll:
TO plow the classic field.
Intent TO find the buried spoil,
It's wealthy burrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sang, or heroes wrought.
Night is the time TO weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves Of memory. where sleep
The joys of other years
Hopes that were angels in their birth.
But perished young, Ike things OF
earth
Night is the time 10 watch
Ger the oceans dark expdnse,
To hail the PIelades or catch
The full moons earliest glance,
That brings unto the homesck mind
All we have loved and left behind
Night is the time to muse;

Takes flight and with expanding

INSURANCE SATRAPS ABOVE THE,

TO the Editor: North Carolina is an

'satreps'' to see what they can squeeze
ont Of our people TO the enrjchm ent
of other sections.
The Persian SatrapS sent their col
lections to fill UP the treasure cities of
the great king; the North Carolina
satraps send theirs n9rthWard to swell
the greater riches of ''mighty sys-
tenn"
As a sop to q deluded people, they
pay, with one hand q few thousands
in the way OF d general tax through
the Insurance Department, while, with
the other hand, immune. under spe-
cial legislation, from county and city
regulation and taxation, and above the
machinery Act they pass out mil
lions Of our hard tOil-gained money
to foreign quarters
And when attacked, they cry ''ignO-
rance and say that the attackers are
cranks and do not know what they
are talking about. Backed by millions
and a powerful lobby. they laugh at
our Legislature and Iidicule our Gov
ernor.
But even the ignorant can recognize
q drain, and know that two gallons out
to one in will empty any barrel: that
a dollar out to fifty cents in will ruin
in time any man: and that a yearly
drain of two millions out to one in Will
in time bankrupt the State, or at least
keep her people "heWe erS of wood and
