queney Of Fatal Accidents to
Army Aviators.

Paris.-Gravely concerned at the
frequency OF fatal accidents to army
aviators, the French ministry OF war
has extended It's patronage to a COM
petition organized by the Union OF
Safety Of Aviators, by offering a prize
OF $50, 900 to the inventor of an appara-
tus which shall afford satisfactory
guarantees from the point of view of
safety in flying.
An announcement to this effect was
made in the chamber of deputies by
Colonel Hirzschauer, head of the army
air corps. The vital question of the
safety of aviatOrs, said the colonel,
was one OF the principal preoccupa-
tions OF the administration. AS com
pared with the first six months of
1911, the first half OF this year show
ed about the same number of acct
dents, but the number of army avia-
tors had doubled, as had the total dis

Societies Urge That Constellation
Be Saved From Decay.
Famous Craft Was Launched In 1897,
and Fought Against French Pri-
vateers and Through War
of 1912.

Newport, r. 1.-The frigate Constel-
lation, Truxton's gallant old ship.
which cleaned the Atlantic of French
many a hostile craft In the War OF
1919, lies off Newport, r. l., in very
poor condition. Many patriotic So
cieties are pressing the navy depart
ment to see to 1t that she is pre-
served.
The Constellation is now used as
a receiving ship, but she soon will be
taken out of commission and brought
to Annapolis. The navy department
has no money to rebuild her old hulk,
and unless a patriotic sentiment de-
mands her preservation the once mag
nificent old frigate will become a rot
ting wreck of old timbers and moss.
The Constellation was built by
David Stodert at Baltimore and
launched September 7. 1897. She was
161 feet long. forty-foot beam, 1,265
tons and cost s314.212. She carried
twenty eight twenty-four-p in
the main deck battery and twelve
twelve-pounders on the spar deck. In
June, 1898, she sailed under command
Of Capt. Thomas Truxton for cruise
between Cape Henry and the coast of
Florida In August she, in company
with the Baltimore, conveyed feet
of sixty merchant vessels in safety
from Havana to the United States.
On February 8. 1899, the Constella-
ton captured the French frigate In
surgente.
In January, 1900, she sailed for the
Island of Guadalupe. which was the
headquarters of the French priva-
teers, and on February l, 1880 a. M,
she gave chase to the French frigate
Vengeance. After chasing the entire
day she came within hailing at D. m.
and for four hours there was a lively
fight, the Constellation losing her
mainmast, every shroud being shot
away. In the excitement the French
ship escaped in the darkness, and the
Constellation was obliged to make
her way to jamaica to refit.
Under the command OF Capt. Alex
ander Murray she was sent TO the
Mediterranean during the war with
the Barbary powers in the squadron
Of Commodore r. V. Morris.
In January, 1913, she sailed from
Washington under command of Capt.
Charles Stewart, and dropped down
to Hampton Roads, only to find such

CARE AND USE OF CASSEROLE

Before using n casserole for the first
line, 1t is well to temper IL; this is
best done by covering It with cold
water Then letting the water come

Under no circumstances let the cas-.

water or fat in It; II this is done the

Avoid sudden changes OF tempera

WAS FIRST
Suffragette Died in Persia Half
Century Ago.
Authorities Murdered kurret VI Ayne
Secretly Because She Taught Wom-
en- to Put Away Their Wells
One Execution.

New York.-In these days, when so
many English women are seeking
martyrdom in modified form to win
glory for the cause OF womens en-
franchisement, It is interesting to re-
call the story OF the first real victim
In this modern crusade.
The death of Kurret VI Ayne oc-
Cured in the late flfties. before the
tocsin of woman's equality had sound
ed In the western world, outside the
United States. Kurret VI Ayne was a
Persian woman of high birth and
great intellectual attachments. Her
poems had made her name widely
known. She was the daughter Of
MIlah Salaeh Barrakani OF Gaswin,
and she bore the title OF zarrine Tadj.
or Grown Of Gold" because OF her
brilliance, and OF Kurret u Ayne, or
Consolation OF the Eyes" because OF
her beauty and charm.
About 1916 Kurret III Ayne became
interested in the teaching of the Bah
who at that time had aroused Persia
with the declaration that the day had
come for the unity of all mankind
The Bah was already imprisoned by
that Mohammedan fanaticism which
could not comprehend the lofty char
acter Of his noble message, but Kur-
ret VI Ayne corresponded with him
and was quickly a convert to his phil
osophy OF divine and human brother
hood. She was deeply interested also
In his declaration that the seclusion
Of the Oriental women is q great
wrong, and that men and women are
equal. for "the soul has no sex"
Prof f. Brown of Cambridge uni
versity of London thus praises this
remarkable pioneer of woman's rights
In the Orient: THE appearance OF
such a woman as Kurret VI Ayne in
any country and any age is rare
phenomenon, but In such a country
as Persia 1t is prodigy-nay. almost
a miracle"
The gentleness and womanly charm
Of Kurret VI Ayne proved irresistible
to all who approached her, and 1t was
decided that the only way to quench
her influence was to end her life. One
evening she visited all the ladies of
the household and said goodby to
them, announcing that she was going
on long journey. Then she went to
