the machine crashed to the ground
The young woman was trying out her
machine in the race track Enclosure at
the fair grounds But few persons
watched as she glided the machine
from the ground and started on her
spin at a low altitude. Whether she
lost control or whether it was a case of
mistaken Judgment which caused the
machine to so close to the tree has not
been explained The end of wing
struck the tree, the machine toppled
and crashed to the ground.
The young woman's skull was frac-
tured and she died soon after reaching
a hospital to which she was rushed in
an automobile
Decisions of Milwaukee authorities
was partly responsible for Mrs. Clark
not having any recent practice. She
had intended making a number of
fights there several weeks ago. but
they refused to allow her to go up be-
cause it was deemed her machine was
unsafe.
Mrs. Clark is the second woman to
be killed in aeroplane accidents. The
other was Miss Susanna Bernard, who
lost her life at the Farman school, at
Pau, France. about two months ago
Mrs. Clark was a Chicago woman,
who became interested in aviation dur
ing the international aviation meet in
Chicago In August, 1911. She became
acquainted with the flyers and last fall
went to San Diego Cal. to learn 10
operate a biplane
In this she was successful and was
the third American woman to obtain
an international aviation pilot license.

Georgia Boys, Freed Of Studies
Hurry to the Great Kansas
Wheat Fields.

The lure of the wheat fields and the
golden grain is calling the college boys
from the campus to the plains. Per-
haps it isn't so much the golden grain
as the golden coin which makes the
rah-rah boy put on his old clothes and
hurry toward the Northwest, but any
way he is going, by hundreds and thou
sands, and he will come back for the
fall term with pockets full of cash and
feeling fit and fine for the football field.
Guy Jones. of the University OF
Georgia, son of a prominent farmer Of
Gwinnett county, left this week for the
Northwest and the wheat fields. Sew
eral others had preceded him. Jones is
student of the agricultural depart
-ment, and he will gain not only coin,
but experience in his summers work.
The great fields of the West need
harvesters at this season. Labor is
scarce and unreliable. For several years
the SO and 81 a day and excellent fare
offered harvesters has drawn students
from Harvard and Yale and Princeton
and all the great schools, and now the
lure of the fields has reached even
down to Georgia. They begin their
work in Kansas. and as fast as the
grain is harvested they move onward
and northward, working as they go.
They will find a whole summers work
in this way, harvesting their last wheat
in far Saskatchewan, Canada, just in
time to come back to college with funds
to pay their way through another year.

Presently we heard the order All
men stand back and all ladies retire
to the next deck below'-the smoking
room deck, or B deck. The men stood
away and remained in absolute silence,
leaning against the end railing or
pacing slowly up and down. The boats
were swung out and lowered from A
deck. When they were to the level OF
b deck, where all the women were col
lected, they got into the boats quietly
with the exception of some. who re-
fused to leave their husbands. In
some cases they were tor from them
and pushed into the boats.
All this time there was no trace Of
any disorder; no panic or rush for the
boats, and no scenes of women sob

to realize SO slowly that there was i'm

that we would be presently in the sea

how calm everyone was and how COM
plete the self-control.
