Waterloo, Oct 27.-Before the close

in charge of the enterprise are now

While Mr.. Thomas was following his

MISS EsERLE NATIVE OF IOWA.
Prominent New York Sculptor Born in
Webster City.

Webster City, Oct 27.-Not many OF
the present residents of Webster City
know that one of the famous sculp-
tors of the world-modeler of child
hood in brass, bronze or marble-Miss
Abastenia st. Leger Eberle. of New
York City, lived in this city for the
first five or six years of her childhood.
having been born in the little house
known as the old Derr property on the
north SIDE She was known as "Tenie"
Eberle among her little friends and
the older residents of this city recall
that she had a little friend about her
own age who was called Tiny on
account of her diminutive proportions.
This months issue of the Techni-
cal World gives a very interesting
illustrated article upon Miss Eberle
and her work but does not mention
her birthplace nor the fact that her
wonderful knowledge of and liking
| for anatomy, must have been due to
the fact that she was her fathers
child, DR.. Harry A. Eberle having been
a practicing physician in the early
seventies in this city, later going into
partnership with his brother, the late

aileron. which Is designed so as TO re-
store equilibrium should the machine
tip in any direction. In other ma
chimes the ailerons are controlled by
the movements Of the drivers seat,
but in the Thomas machine the en-
tire control is centered in the steering
arrangement. This special steering de-
vice has also been patented by the
head of the Waterloo school. The
anti-tipping device is believed to be
the most important safety invention
since men undertook the problem or
conquering the air.
The Thomas machine is much larger
than the average aeroplane. The top
plane measures 36x6 feet and the low
err plane extends back Is feet.
Four men have already registered
for the course and it is expected that
others will enter the school shortly.
Mr.. Thomas has been interviewed by
dozen or more men who have ex-
pressed their intentions of taking les
sons in flying.
