Philadelphia, Pa. January "A tale
of unrewarded seIf-sacrince and years
of suffering was told in the nling of
claim in court by Miss Emma Levitt.

Dr. Ida +. Weiner, a graduate OF the
Philadelphia Dental College and a
practitioner among the wealthy set of
Scranton, Pa.
Miss Levitt worked over a machine

money that her cousin might realize
her ambition to become doctor, From
her scanty earnings she saved $40.
which she declares, was spent upon her
cousins books and tuition. In return for
her self-denial, DR.. Weiner has ignored
her. she says. and has refused TO pay
back the money.
After waiting for years in the ex-
pectation of being rewarded, or at
least getting the money she insists she
spent in educating her cousin. Miss
Levitt decided recently to appeal 70
the courts Her claim was flied by Miss
A. Florence YergeT, lawyer. with Of
fices in the Betz Building. after, It is
declared. Dr.. Weiner refused to-make
settlement.
II experienced starvation and other
tortures so that my cousin could win
recognition" said Miss Levitt last
night. Il did not sign a contract or
agreement with her when I advanced
the money. because l had been under
the impression that in America a
persons honor is considered greater
than a legal contract.
Miss Levitt says she came to this
country from Gorrodiche. a province in
Russia when she was fourteen years
old She boarded at the home of Doc

INVISIBLE AIRSHIP
NEAR POSSIBILITY

by the army with muffled motor. and
il has been found that the only OBJ
lection to il il that il is so quiet the
aviator cannot hear whether or not
his engine is missing Are This can
be remedied by partly opening the muf-
fer so that with the transparent wings
the aviator can operate unseen and
unheard against any sort OF sky for
a background.
The transparent wing material was
regarded as sucn important discov-
cry from a military standpoint that
II was seriously discussed whether or
not il should be preserved as a military
secret. but 1t was decidedthat IL had
always been the policy of this govern
rnent to make important discoveries
and then throw them open to the
world. and that il the invisible ma
chimes were built some of the foreign
military attaches were sure to find
out about II anyhow. so there was no
further attempt al secrecy
Carrying On Experiments.
In the same connection the army has
been carrying on an interesting series of
tests with an aeroplane that is as near
"fool-proof" as il is possible now to
make it. The machine is based on the
recent experiments of NJ Gustav

detail by Bleriof when he was expert
menting with monoplanes.
1t Is almost impossible 10 upset the
new machine fore and aft except by
a decidedly conscious effort SO that all
the aviator has 20 do Is TO look after
the lateral stability. which il com
paratively simple matter. 1t Is likely
that the new machine may be taken
up by some of the commercial manu-
facfurers because IL is too valuable a
practical development to be left en-
