THE LIFE HISTORY OF
 AN AVIATION MANAGER
Leaf From the Daily Life of Berger of the Aviation Com pauv Who Opens the Big Aviation Meet Automobile Show
 and Races In Birmingham Monday April
BY WALTER HENRY

me Kettle of fish, to use an old expres- sion. To pay the aviator an extra $500 or Sl0OO week may mean a serious lnroad into the managers finances, and not to pay him and to lose his services. may mean a much greater loss to the pig meet. The manager has to get busy, therefore, and to literally kill his aviator With Kindness" He never for a moment can feel that they are tied to his in- terests, heart and soul. and this, too, in face of the argument that he is each week gambling, or better speaking. risk ing upwards of S30,00O for their mutual welfare At any time while he is on the road making new cities he may hear that one of them. whom he really gets to love, have fallen, and that his ma chine Is a wreck, to the tune of over 5000 loss
 The Merry Woes
 We'll the big meet has opened. let Us say. One merchant says that the town has not been properly advertised mean ing by this, as is the case nine times out of ten, that his particular business has not been greatly benefited, according to his Judgment. Along comes another mer- chant, who affrms that the city has been over advertised and that the meet will fall flat because too many cooks spoil the prosperity broth. As these mer- tilohtS iAoNc SubStilDSQ inOiity the success of the meet. their arguments cannot be dismissed without careful h. vestigation. The manager therefore must treat them with great considera- ton and reason with them, and If he becomes convinced that he has left some loophole open. then he must endeavor to remedy the trouble.
 Out at the grounds, there is a regular bedlam, which Is often the case In many places. There come clashes between po- lice and other officials. The judges ask favors of the officers. and the officers ask favors of the officers of the meet. and 1t is generally the case that there are clashes between them, which the manager has to settle. He has to confer and watch every ticket seller. fight the ticket scalpers, argue and plead with the street railroad companies to give decent service to the great public his attractions have brought together.
 Counterfeit tickets begin to show up at the gate. He has to see that there is order maintained on the grounds and to advance the comfort of the people who have paid their money to see the bird men. Every flight makes him nervous During his career, MT. Berger has lost seven of his aviators. through death in their conquest of the air, and he has eight on his payroll at the present time. He never knows when the number will be diminished

Few people outside the ranks of the aviation and amusement professions have | an adeuuate idea of the trials, tribula-
 lions, joys, hopes, dlscouragements and
 perplexities that creep into the life of a
 successful amusement executive. Tales 1 of triumphs over unheard of obstacles are common in fairy stories. Likewise, gentle reader, do these occur in moving picture films to the ingenius manipula-
 ton of the camera. But, what I have to tell you about is the truth, the naked
 truth, which from time beyond memory | has proved stranger than fiction. Come with me behind the scenes of the
 current life of a busy manager, and
 view the passing panorama of his daily | life. Imagine we are just leaving one city to open up in a new one. The train
 is about to leave the station. and the
 manager, punctual as a manager must be | to be successful is on hand and await | Ing the gathering of the rest of the | members of the company. A few are
 there, but the rest do not show up. The conductor shouts "All aboard" and the iron horse that waits for no man starts
 to pull away. Where are the remainder of the aviators and members? There are various reasons why they have not ap- peared. ..
 The manager knows this, and so nut toring an exclamation of annoyance he
 gets aboard.
 Aviators YOU see, are privileged char acters. in way, and they rank as star lO tn, world pleasure and amusement, only that be- sides this, they figure in the scientific aad military worlds annals as well. Therefore they act their own pleasure regarding many matters. They have at stake the prestige of the manufacturers of tie aerial machines in which they ride; they have at heart their own pres.
 tige as masters of the newest and most difficult of modern professions; they are in demand as "thrillers" and stellar at fractions in various parts of the world, and so if they do not care to travel on schedule time, who is to criticise them? They do not have to go down to the eoun- dry in the morning and punch the tin7e clock
 This is embarrassing, however, to The manager, but an exceedingly small em- barrassment compared to others.
 Announcements are made and great crowds gather to witness flights, and then some of the aviators, for good req sons cannot comply, although thousands of dollars may have been expended in advertising. The wind is too strong and the weather indictment, and the aviators, with their sensitive knowledge of air currents know that to attempt flight will be to ride hand in hand with death.' The whirlpools and ''holes'' In the air currents would engulf them. and a wrecked aeroplane and perhaps wrecked life would result.

came to US from the Good Hope
section with an enviable reputation
as Christian and frst-class far
mer which he has proven since he
has been among US. We found far
mer Walton wearin" his usual
pleasant smiles. His crop up to the
chilly June weather, was the finest
in the county.
Messrs. J. T. Watkins and T. S.
Rhoden have good crops but were
like all of us who cannot appreciate
December north Easter coming
the middle of June Capt. Charlie
Carson was pulling the bell cord
over his favori,e Betsie Jane. He
remarked that when we saw him at
it something would happen. Well it
has, the wind has shifted and the
weather is back in its natural chan
mel.
We failed to see Mr.. G.. B. Key
nolds. The young nan we saw said
Mr.. Reynolds was v,ry busy down
in the lower field and we did not
have cheek enough to disturb him.
We found Mr.. P. G.. Stevens in his
usual happy mode excepting the
unsatisfactory condition of his corn.
We gave advice which seemed to
comfort him and restore his July
spirits.
Mr.. Joseph P. Rodgers Lives near
Mr.. Stevens. Mr.. Rodgers is a
quiet man, full of energy AID good
business judgment. Richard Fur
man Grim, lives on this same R. f.
D. route not far from J. P. Rod.

informed us that Richard was fight
ing grass and could not wait to see
us. Richard and his brother Jas. H.

have our eye on and hope to see
