Interest in Clubhouse.

Considerable interest has been express
ed by the Aero Club members In a re-
ported plan Of John Barry Ryan to build
clubhouse for the United States Aero
nautical Reserve at College Park. Plans
nave already been drawn for a bungalow
and a site has been tentatively selected
ON the edge of the aviation field. The
contract for the work has not yet been
signed. but IL the plan is carried out 1t
will make a very comfortable rest house
for those interested in aviation who visit
the park
Capt. Paul Peck, who flies the Curuss
machine. but has been detached from the

This requirement is for a five minute
flight in a fifteen-mile wind. All the con-
ditions for the trial have been ripe for
some time except that the required wind
loafed on the job.

No Flight Over City.

Many Washingtonians looked for Peck
to make a flight over the city yesterday.
but this was not attempted. The Aero
Club of America has discouraged flying
over cities because of the danger to the
residents in case of either a fall or a
forced landing. 1t has not required the
drastic action that some of the foreign
clubs have taken of suspending an avia-
tors license for this sort of flying, but
1t has been minated strongly that the
club Will do so If necessary.
The committee having the arrange
ments for the safe and sane Fourth of
July In charge had George Oakley Tot
ten. jr., of the Aero Club, at College
Parn yesterday to make arrangements; if
possible, with some of the officers to fly
in Washington on the Fourth of July.
The plan was not given much encourage
ment. The officers who fly daily as a
business for the War Department intimat-
ed that they might like a little holiday
themselves on the Fourth. One Of them
may volunteer for that day. but it has
been settled that the War Department
will not order any of them to give up
the holiday. 1t is likely II the committee
wants an aviator for the Fourth II will
have to hire a professional

-FOUR FL|ERS IN AIR
Unusual Sight at College Park
Yesterday.
GO UP FIELD IN TIER
Three Machines Travel One Above
the Other.
NEW MONOPLANE IS OUT
Craft Very Swift-Peck Does Not
Attempt Flight Over
City.

Four aeroplanes in flight at the same
time made an unusual sight at College
Park aviation field yesterday afternoon
The Wright, the Burgess, the big Curtiss
and the new Columbia monoplane
driven by Paul Peck, the Wash
ington aviator. were all in the air
at once. Three Of them were going
up the field at the same time directly
over each other at heights varying from
200 to 500 feet. The Curtiss overhauled
the slower Wright and the new mono
plane overhauled the Curtiss just about
the same time, making an interesting
spectacle.
The new monoplane is interesting be-
cause it is the first machine Of that type
that has been at the field. 1t is very
fast, though the performance yesterday
was not fast one. as there had been
an experimental change in propellers that
did not increase the speed.
Prettier Than Bleriots.
The machine is really prettier in the
air than the Bleriots that have been seen
here. The aspect of the wing is much
like the Bleriot, though the wing curve
is more like the Newport, the fast Euro
pean machine that till recently held the
worlds speed record. 1t is finished as
comfortably inside as an automobile, and
carries clock, an aneroid, climometer
and speed gauge. 1t is a very sturdily
built machine, too, else there would have
been a bad accident yesterday afternoon.
Being so fast, it has to land at about
forty miles an hour, and three times
when landing it tilted to one side and
the wing tip scraped the ground for thirty
feet. The wings, however, are very
strong and braced with quarterback ca
bles, so that no serious damage was done.
and the machine made additional fights

A LONG ENGAGEMENT THAT
 ENDED DISASTROUSLY.

In the February Woman'ss Home Companion, Margaret E.. Sangster, writing an article on "Sweethearts and Wives" presents the confession of a young woman who, having been engaged for seven years to one who at first fulfilled herr ideals, awakened to disilluson and reached the point of seeking release. The woman IS now a spinster Following is her story:
 When Harry and | were first en- gagged, we were deeply in love with else for Harry. He was my exclusive escort, and gradually most of my old friends, both girls and men,, stopped coming to the house Or seeking my was so absorbed in one idea that I had no room for them. They bored me, and they found it out. We were waiting to be married until Harry couId be sure of a sufficient income to support a home. Gradually we dis covered that we were talked out. We began to find our evening sessions a little tedious. I had gone on With study, and had developed intellectu- ally in a direction different from liar rvs and when we reSorted to reading in order to spend an evening pleasant ly, Harry fell asleep while I was reading to him. We did not care for the same subjects; we grew indiffer- ent to each others opinions; and when we acepted social invitations, we sometimes found ourselves classified and labeled as an engaged couple. This meant that we were too ola TOT the young people just coming on, while. O. course, we did not belong in the set with young married people; Finally I could bear it no longer, ana insfsted that we ought to break the engagement Harry protested, said that he could never be the same again, ana declared that had made a desert of his life. I was afraid that he spoke the truth, but I need not have feared Tn less than six months Harry became engaged to a girl who had grown up since I had, and before the year was over they were married. < am still a spfnster, not exactly forlorn, but con- scfous of loneliness and of the years that the Iocusts have eaten. I throw myself ardently into church work ana charity, and am taking a post-grad- uate course in advanced German Sometimes, when I see Harry,s wife walking down the street with one pretty child running before her and another eozily tucked in a perambu- Tator there is "a Sharp tug at my heart. and I feel a sense of lack and wearinesS.'

THREE REMARKABLE WOMEN

In the February Woman's Home Companion there is an article entitled Three Interesting Women" Each of these women in her distinct field is accomplishing something big and fine. One, Helen M. Gould, has enormous wealth and her cheerful phi,anthropies have no strings tied to them; another Mother one of the years great fic- ton successes. The third, Minnie Mad dern Fiske, is both an actress and manager of great courage and ability Or Helen Gould the author says in part:
 Miss Gould brings gifts, she doesn't send them. She loves humanity, not in the abstract and at a distance but close at hand. When the firemen of New York voted her their character isttc present, a fire-line badge, it was not so much because of generous f- nanctaI aid as in recognition of the fact that, at the time of the terrible Windsor Hotel fire, she, first of all the neighboring residents, threw open her doors and converted her beautiful Fifth Avenue mansion into an emer- gency hospital When the veterans of the Spanish War gave the march ing salute as they saw her face at her nowledgment Of a check for $1OO, 900 to the War Department, or of another $25,OO0 to the Woman's Relief Assooia- tion, or even Of many smaller gifts to save the families of soldiers from want, but in recognition of personal visits to Camp Wikoff and the car loads of fruits and medical supplies that followed them. Admiral Dewey has said, If the men on the Ameri- can battleships had their way, there would be statue of Helen Gould on every fighting craft that flies the Stars and Stripes
 Miss Gould is a small, dark-hafred sweet-faced young woman, addicted to quiet, tailor-made gowns of black or gray. She has an easy, vivacious manner and a girlish laugh, is fond thunder. She Is rather pleasantly old fashioned. There is nothing new or startling in her earnest phrase, T want to be of use in the worId;' but she has at least lived and worked in ac- cordance with that simple ambition, and has learned for herself that The more one tries to help others, the more one loves to do it.

HEIR PARENTS CAME
 FAR TO HEAR HEIR
 SING-AND SHE FAILED

In the February Woman's Home Companion a professional opera singer writes a remarkable article, in which she tells the true story of the coun- try girls who go to New York to study singing, and then make a fall about there were forty girls, only two Of whom were daughters of rich pa- rents. the remainder coming from mid dle-ciass families. Following is the story of one of these girls:
 .'The first to go was the mine-own- er's daughter. She had come to New York with a clear, high uncultivated study with a high-priced teacher, she had nothing to show but a few vocal tricks and many ungfrlish mannerisms white or coiorless, and her singing lacked warmth, sincerity, and feeling. None of us took her very seriously un- til she gave a mid-winter recital.
 Her teacher rented a fashionable hall, and guaranteed the presence of critics. Her parents came from the far West to witness her triumph. Her frock came from Paris. The tickets among desirable people. We club girls, accompanied by the most pre- sentable men we know, were scatter ed through the hall. There were flow CTS and critics in plenty; but the re- cital was a hideous failure. The star paled beside the three unimportant professionals hired by her teacher and manager to assist her. The critics hayed her with allus1ons to her fath- er's newly acquired wealth.
 ''The night she said good-by to us is stamped so indelibIy on my memory that I can recall her very words: Girls, you can call me a coward, but I'm going home Money can't buy a career, and I'm not going to give the best there is in me for one. I've been paying a man five dollars an hour to jolly me along in the belief that I have voice. haven't enough left to sing in choir back home; but 1t doesn't matter. There's one man out there who doesn't care whether my voice goes or stays, and, thank Heaven, I found it out in tiTne'''

KNEISEL QUARTETTE IS MOST POPULAR STRING
 QUARTETTE IN WORLD

Great interest is being manifested amongst local musicians over the com ing of the KneiseI Quartet, the famous musical organization which is to ap- pear next Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club, in the ball room of the Stratfield. The concert is not a part of the regular course of the musical club, and the regular season tickets do not admit to it.
 The KneiseI Quartet is being brought here is response to a great demand. This is without doubt the most pop u Tar string quartet in the world. Throughout each season they give series of concerts in New York, and this year, for the first time, they have been able to find a hall large enough to accommodate the crowds which seek to hear then1- The con certs are being given in the ball room of the Hotel Astor, a, hall that seats about 1,200 people. The appearance of the quartet locally will doubtless be the signal for a great out-turning of the local devotees of music.

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES
Compensation in Cases of Death or
 Loss of Eyesight

Washington, Feb. Forest Service men who are blinded or otherwise dis abIed and the dependents of men kill ed in fighting forest fires can expect no compensation from the govern ment. To remedy this condition Sen ator Dixon (Rep. Mont.). is making a sturdy effort to have the forest ser vice employees included in the law which awards compensation to victims of hazardous government employment The law. with proposed amendments in behalf of employees of the Bureau or Mines and the forest service, is pend ing in the Senate.
 Speaking of the widespread fires Of 1910, Senator Dixon said:
 s'I was in the very center Of the great forest fires of the Northwest during that period, and there were Ov- CT 75 men burned to death in a radius of 150 miles of the place where Sena- tor Heyburn and myself reside Tn the forest ranger service during those fires, as I recall it, six or seven of the forest rangers In the discharge Of their duty fighting fierce forest fires, were burned to death. I know indi- vidually of three or four cases where the eyesight of those men was de stroyed and they are blind for life.
 ''I remember in particular an old man who lives at the southern end Of Bitterfoot Valley, who three years ago in the forest fires had his eyes com pletely burned out. Ills companions rescued him, and he is living there on the charity of his neighbors in the county.
 s'When those great crises occur and men take their lives in their hands and go into the mountains fighting fire, certainly this government should six months pay for disability or one years pay in case of dea-th.''

LITTLE WORKING GIRL WHO Is GREAT AND SUC-
 CESSE'UL LOBBYIST

Agnes Nestor is an earnest and en- erget1c little Chicago glove maker who single-handed, has engineered bills Ia vorable to working girls through the Illinois legislature. Practically alone ! against the powers that have opposed her, she has outwttted them all by her political sense. In the February American Magazine there is an inter esting sketch of her, a brief extract from which follows:
 During the session of 1911 the fig ure of a gray-eyed, sWeet-faced uC- tie working girl became taInlilar l @ 10 every legislator, dOorkeeper and page. To the casual visitors question as to who the girl in the gallery was the answer would have been:
 " That's little Miss Nestor, Agnes Nestor, a glove maker by trade. She's one of the girls that the Unions have sent down here to lobby for The Girls Bill. Two years ago she engineered bill through the Legislature limiting the hours of women factory workers to ten a day. Now she wants us to give the same protection to girls in mercantile establishments, to tele- graph and telephone operators and so forth. < Pass? Of course it won't pass. The employers will put up great fight It may get through the Senate but it will be killed in the House.
 ''But Agnes Nestor herself was sure that the bill would go through. It was that faith that kept her thirteen long weeks at the capitol, never miss ing one legislative day.
 Throughout the session her advice was sought by the friends of the bill both in House and Senate. Upon one occasion the representative introduc- ing the bill in the House actually ask ed the members to waive their rules and allow Agnes Nestor to come down on the floor that he might confer con- corning the wisdom of accepting an amendment to the bill.
 No amendment,' she said.
 But in spite of all her opposition an amendment was adopted. It is an old political trick-to change a bill so that it's original friends will defeat it.
 "One chance remained to win. The chance was this:
 "She must not fall into that trap That would then be the end of it. She must rally her forces and pass the battered bill. There was then the chance that the Senate might say We won't pass your bill in this battered form and of the House saying, Very well, we will restore 1t to its original form
 sIn the rush and fury of those last hours she made busy men listen to her stands?' they said. You don't mean iti'
 ITO the surprise of the opposition therefore the battered bill passed Of course the enemy voted for 1t. Of course the men in favor of the bill as 1t had originally stood voted for it. It passed almost unanimously And ate wouldn't concur, the bill came back to the House and the motion to rescind went through. The girls bill in it's original form became law"

THE LAWRENCE STRIKE.

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Perhaps we do not take the same view of the Lawrence strike as is ta- ken by some of your readers. We greatly regret the occurrence, but we put ninety-five per cent. of the blame upon the heartless, unpatriotic, ava ricious anarchy-breeders, the corpora tion owners and managers. These are the chief offenders. They have combined with the steam ship trusts to SCOUT the slums Of Flu rope for cheap labor, have brought these poor creatures here by tens of thousands, and then as these immf- to assirni1ate Americans customs, and attempt to educate their children and improve the status of their families, they find their starvation wages are nsufficient-hence the discontent. And all the time these miIl-owners are dividing among themselves dividends of from six to sixty per cent. but they will not distribute one per cent. among their victims
 It is these corporations that are re- sponsible for bringing the lawless eIe- ment to Lawrence, and for driving out the better class of operatives. These miIIs-or their grasping owneFs-haVe been the curse of New EngIand-con- pIetely forei ignizing every part of 1t. And this will be the result in the South if the Southern States do not protect themselves with stringent laws, for In many cases the cotton-mil owners of the South are the cotton-miIl owners Of New England
 These people should never have been but now that they are here, the heartIess corporations should be com pelled to care for them without the aid of the State mtlitie-
