DAYS of Darius Green and His Flying Machine"

one knows how, the buzz Of the aeroplane Is as
familiar as the buzz of the mosquito over in Jer-

Women naturally more cautious than men.
A man may do and dare before he knows how to
do and dare, but IL a woman does and dares you
may be pretty sure she knows what she is doing
and daring, of course always, with the exception
which proves the rule. Now that straight flying
is no longer interesting because 1t is compare
lively safe, women will not go into the trick fly
ing. Therefore there is no commercial market
for them The only thing left is aerial navigation
and. necessarily, passenger-carrying.
Few women will carry passengers at the mo-
ment. The only passenger-carrying woman in
America just at present is Ruth Law, now in
Newport who owns and operates Wright b.
plane. Perhaps women place a higher value on
life than men, and will run no risks. But more
probable is the effect of the tragic death Of Miss
Harriet Quimby, killed in flight two years ago.
Since then Miss Matilda Moisant, one Of the trio
who was always on hand at international meets
with Miss Quimby and Mile. Dutrieu, has dropped
out. The Baroness de la Roche, the first woman
IN the world TO n.y. mas also dropped out, out pos
sbly because she broke both legs in fall
Another reason why women have dropped out
of the game or given up momentarily is that the
expense of buying and maintaining an aeroplane
is too great. Since the circus days Of ordinary
stunts have culled their death roll and are over
there is not sufficient thrill in the mere fact Of
woman flying to draw, and managers will not put
up the funds for a machine. And still another
reason is that men-the aviators themselves-do

toner in criminal courts came from

the period of six years during which
he was a public prosecutor there
have been few criminal cases OF note
in Louisiana since 1880 In which ne
was not engaged as principal counsel
for the defense. Ills reputation was
not confined to the borders OF LOUISE
ana, for he was sought by the oe'
tense in noted criminal trials IN so
Joining states, and even in New fofk
and Chicago.
Mr.. Adams was a native OF New VT
leans, a son OF Lucian Adams anu
Constance Fagot. He was born 'sn
2, 1852, having passed this year On
sixty-second birthday. In 1883 ~
married Miss Louise Sarpy OF NV
