MISS ADA MEADE IS
 KNOWN AS "AIR BIRD"
Prima Donna With Madame Sherry" Has Made Numerous Flights
 and Loves the Sport

To the title "song bird" has been added that of "aIr bird" by that delightfully."- charming young woman, Miss Ada Meade, who comes here In Madame Sherry" Miss Meade has the courage and has made several flights. She says she is going to apply for pilots license. This despite the protests of one of her man. agers. Mir. George w. Lederer.
 Miss Meade made her first flight in Lex ington Ky, her home town. She was dared by J. A. D. McCurdy the noted aviator, to accompany him on one of his exhibition flights at the Blue Grass fair. Despite the protests of relatives and friends. this plucky young woman, with McCurdy, flew over the grounds, while the holiday crowd gazed spellbound. On making a safe landing Miss Meade and her companion were given an ovation.
 Since then Miss Meades spare time has been divided between her vocal studies and that of aeronautics.
 At one of the eastern resorts prior to leaving with Madame Sherry" company, Miss Meade wired MT Lederer asking permission to make flight by herself To this she received the following tele- gram:
 Refuse to allow you to take risk. You are under a three year contract and next season."
 At first Miss Meade was obstinate. but seeing the justice of MT. Lederer's ob- jection promised to refrain from soaring any more this season.
 Miss Meade on former visits to Birming- ham made many friends and her return is awaited with pleasure.

RARE OCCUPATIONS
Old Trades That Have Decayed or
 Prospered

From the New York Sun
 Now and then 1t happens that trade or profession comes before the public which is not otherwise often heard of The town crier's call is certainly one of | these, for it is only in quiet places that
 the old time cry "Oyez. Oyez,'' is heard ethoing in the streets of some country town calling upon the inhabitants to lis- ten in way which would be impossible in a stirring city where the traffic was more noisy.
 Now and then we hear of some tramp or person of unknown abode who an- nounces some peculiar profession. Some- times 1t is some calling which is merely an excuse for idleness or begging, such as that of the tramp who sold smoked glass to see eclipses through, but some times it is a more constant occupation than the latter, such as the man who gave his employment as a manufacturer of wooden seeds for making raspberry jam or the dolls eye maker.
 Some professions recall olden days. such as the teazle gatherers who collected teazle heads to comb wool before this was done by a machine, since which time the i teazle has become a neglected plant. says | the Lady. or again. there was the thatch- CT. whose employment was common enough in the old days. but this is grad
 ually becoming extinct as a profession
 and will probably before long almost | cease to exist.
 | Sometimes when a certain expert Is re- quired it is no easy matter to find such
 a one. Thus 1t is not easy to find man l good at polishing mother of pearl, and
 there are few who follow the calling in | this country. Another instance of dying profession is that of the country carrier who in a handcart or perhaps a donkey
 1-- |, parcels for a penny or two each to the
 nearest town or from one lonely farm or
 hamlet to another, a profession which Is ! becoming rare in these days of motors and other conveyances.
 Some trades are slowly dying either from competition or some other cause.
 Thus the wood gatherers who once flour
 ished in many midland counties are now
 restricted to one or two. for aniline dyes
 have killed the old blue dye used by our ancestors, though wood Is still employed
 to fix dye in one or two fabrics. | Many trades are gradually becoming more and more prosperous as others de- | cay. Thus 30 years ago the collectors of rare insects were few and far between
 and no one would have expected to build
 up an industry from the produce of their | fad But there are now no fewer than | three caterpillar farms in this country | whose whole produce consists of rare cat . erpillars bred for the fancy" and this
 is said to be decidedly a profitable em-
 ployment. as collectors are becoming an | ever growing class.
 The culture of snails in this country is
 also on the increase. and good number
 of persons in the west of England find
 employment in gathering the snails. whose
 bodies are boiled for snail soup; while yet
 another trade which has future in this
 and other lands is that of the seaweed
 collector, a calling which until of late
 years was left to the poorest among the
 dwellers upon the shore. But now sea

 weed Is coming to be more and more used for a variety of purposes, and the gath ering of seaweed is regarded as an ever growing field for enterprise.
 It was always known that seaweed con- tained a large quantity of iodine, but to- day it is used in the manufacture of a certain kind of cloth, while certain spe- cies are eaten under the names of ''dulse, ' stoke and 'currageen." Kelp Is burned seaweed and Devonshlre seaweed is used for a large number of purposes, there fore the seaweed gatherers of today are fin peter position than ever before.
 Another profession which may have a future before 1t is the collecting of herbs for "simples" for it is very possible that the minerals so much in vogue in recent times may some day give place again to prescriptions made from many or the plants found in our waysde lanes, and that some of the simple medicines of our grandmothers may be found not so want ing in virtue after all, and the gathering of some of these has always been the em- ployment of a few dwellers in remote places where the inhabitants have never lost their belief in the old time remedies.
