Made Themselves Comfortable.
They simply moved the desks aside
and arranged them i'm orderly stacks
along the wall, and for the past 80
days they have worked unsupported
by their closest neighbors. The wom-
an i'm the cottage across the street
never suspected what was going on.
Gypsy oil company officials Just over
the fence did not know but that the
place was vacant and the principal Of
the school never dreamed that two
men who had taken active part in
some Of the most spectacular airship
demonstrations ever staged in America
were fighting the wolf from the door
with hard work i'm daytime and spend
ing their nights measuring fitting,
saving and mortising, replacing
slowly the losses they had suffered in
few unfortunate mishaps which oc-
cur occasionally i'm every aoronaut' $
life. How did they happen to be in
Drumright? Yes, how?
Harry w Earl, who broke into the
airship business as mere boy by
stealing his schOOlmaster' aircraft
out at night and making his first
flight in Chicago, had passed a num-
Der of successful years demonstrating
and established a school of his own in
South Chicago, when about a year ago,
cyclone destroyed his entire equip
ment and pinned him underneath the
debris, disabling him slightly. He ac-
cepted an offer made by G.. B. Ban
croft of Oklahoma City, to come to
Oklahoma and take charge of a ma
chine which Bancroft had Just pur-
chased. He arrived in oklahoma last
fall in time for the meet which was
here there, and took charge of tho
biplane, which represented the greater
part of the money Bancroft had made
in concessions at handling just such
events as that i'm previous months.
Something Went Wrong.
Something went wrong on the first
flight and the machine was taken to
an out f-the-way place to be over

FASHION DEGREES

Milady's waist becomes slim again.
Fashion has decreed Il. say the local
modistes, and fashion may not be
gainsaid.
Already spring models in shirt.

But IL isn't the slender woman
VIM Inc
stout women are the ones who will
protest. They are seemingly of one
mind-that the loose blouse, which is
doomed to go. makes them look less
stout. They will not watch its pass
ing without some inward pangs.
Probably there will be a protest
about the high collars. too. When the
low-necked shirtwaists came in, a
year ago. there were many women
who could not get used to them at
first. Now. having accustomed them
selves to low necks, they no doubt
will find equal difficulty in going back
to high collars again.
After all, the difficulty r. not ser
ious. There are a number OF adjust
able models already on display in
Wheeling stores. With these the col
lars are made so that they may be
worn up or turned down. The cuffs,
