Through.
DISEASE CONTROLLED;
DANGER IS PAST
Early Detection and Action by City
Physician and Truant Officer
Curbs Disease.

Miss Abbie G. Hense, who has fol
the past several weeks acted as
school nurse in this city to assist in
curbing what was thought to be a
diphtheria epidemic, will complete
her work here Friday. There is nc
need for further investigation owing
to the early detection of the disease,
Officers Deserve Crdit.
The disease has been kept to prac-
tically one family through the efforts
of DR.. E. A. Shannon, city physician.
Miss Hense and John Falls, city tru-
ant officer
Several suspect" cases were tenn
porarily quarantined but there is now
no further fear of the disease spread
ing if proper precautions are taken.
No Great Danger.
In speaking Of the disease, Miss
Hense today said:
"Although the greatest danger is
already past and there is no fear for
further developments, the work was
not begun minute too soon as every
thing indicated a most severe and
widespread epidemic. The cultures
have all been returned and nothing
more than sore throats are found, so
the greatest danger is in confining
the cases of diphtheria itself to their
homes until all possible traces are
destroyed"
All Pupils Examined.
During the past two weeks over
100 cultures have been taken and
practically every pupil from the first
to the eighth grades have been ex-
amined. Many of the children who
had cases of sore throats were sent
home until their throats became
better.
Besides taking cultures and making
examinations Miss Hense devoted part
of her time at the home of the pupils
advising the proper care and atten-
ton.
Providing that a sufficient number
of Red Cross seals are sold, Bemidji
will be furnished with a school nurse
for one month after the holidays.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. H.
Katherine foremost Amer
ican aviatrice.
What's your mental picture of a
feminine flyer, not in her flying togs
and not in the air?
Ever get "close-up" of one?
I did, and I never was more agree
ably surprised in my life.
No ego. No eccentricity. No man
nish manner or freakish apparel. No
bombast.
Just girl!
That describes little Miss Stinson,
- years old, l02 pounds light, five
feet and two inches feminine.
Up-toDate in Dress.
Dressed in an up-to-date suit Of
brown seal-correct you will note
even to the popular shade-and a
chic round hat with quaint bit Of
trimming at the center, on the top,
the only girl sky pilot in the country
who loops the dangerous loop, looks
just like a little maid from school.
She has been in the flying business
four years and commenced, she says,
when she was too young to appreciate
what she was undertaking. She has
made successful flights in 16 states
and is now on her way to California.
Mother Helped.
Mother knew I had made up my
mind; that I wasn't afraid; and she
gave her consent" Miss Stinson de-
clared. GAS for father, we'll, he never
saw me fly until a short time ago
when I was in Mobile, Ala
"No, I'm not afraid at all. You
see, I have never had an accident,
though 1 saw one man killed when I
was learning to fly" She reached
out to the desk, crossed her fingers,
and touched wood. l did, too. It
seemed almost uncanny for mite Of
a girl with her hair still hanging in
curls down her back to speak so fear
lously of the treacherous trade of the
air which "gets' so many.
Beachey Motor.
Miss Stinson drives what she calls
"Stinson-Partridge Tractor" She
has purchased and is using Beachey's
motor, a one-valve construction called
a Knome. It has more power than
the ordinary motor, she claims, and is
much lighter. 1t is manufactured in
France.
Landing, the little girl told me, is
one of the most difficult feats in
aeroplaning. Caution is very i'm
portant bump to cultivate and pre-
paredness is almost a necessity.
Though Miss Stinson has a mech
anic, of course, she has taken the
pains to make a careful study of the
machinery. She puts on overalls and
gets out and goes over the whole
machine before flights.
II think the chief causes of acci-
dents in the air are two," she said.
'The first is carelessness about re-
pairing parts which show signs of be-
ginning to wear. The second is in
ability to manage a sky wagon.

1T is queer little feeling when
the plane goes over and your feet are
toward the stars. I don't remember
ever having had it before. But it
doesn't last long. The best part OF

seeing the look of satisfaction on the
upturned faces of the crowd. If the
people don't look pleased, I'm mad
and sorry, too. want to give them
their moneys worth"
"Are there heaps of money in your
business, Miss Stinson?''
"Well, there's plenty in what we
call trick flying, and, of course, it
is very nice for me to be the only
woman looping the loop. However,
my sister is flying at San Antonio,
Tex, and my brother is learning. In
fact, we expect to open an aviation
school there some time next year."
