"HEY'RE not in their second child
hood, these two men who spend six
hours a day flying kites twenty-five
stories above the corner Of Broadway and
AID Street in Americas biggest city.
Frank Sefang and j. H. Willis are simply
bucking the game of life from new angle,
and getting away with it.
Willis used to go up in balloons. Sefang
used to tour the country with Lincoln
Beachy, the aeronaut who was killed sew
eral weeks ago in California. About three
years ago both came to the conclusion
that they would rather walk the earth's
surface with a little less glory, than lie four
feet beneath it and have their pictures
framed in black. But they didn't lose
their interest in the upper air.

One Way of Earning a Living

One day they sent up balloon with a
dummy in it, and worked parachute
drop. That gave them twentieth
century idea that was salable. Here was
a new way to make people gaze and Won
der-a new advertising method.
Something New in Advertising
KITE-FLYING above Longacre Square
"A is the result. Sefang and Willis have
their workshop in little room twenty-five
stories above the street. 1t looks like a
boys play-room, equipped on somewhat
larger scale. A dummy aviator and his
fimsy machine dangle from the ceiling.
Kites of all sizes and shapes are stacked
in the corners. A workbench is covered
with all the things you used to make kites

1t Took a Year to Capture Them

length it was determined to dig slanting
pits, deep enough to prevent the hippo
from reaching the top, and so smooth that
it would slide back into them as often as
it tried to escape. No less than hun
dred of these pits were dug, and at length
success came.
Only the Beginning
PUT with the capture the difficulties of
~ the expedition were only begun. 1t was
necessary to load the two hippos into ma
tive baskets and transport them on the
shoulders of native carriers. For twelve
days the captives rode in restless state
until the coast was reached.
1t is hoped that the pair will like their
new home and may become the parents
of thriving family. Thus far they have
eaten the green vegetable food set before
them without complaint, and they seem
as contented as if they were still in their
wild and savage home in Liberia.

have it in their minds to get a series
Of games with the Putnam team that
is earning such a reputation for It
self.
Just what the outcome OF these
negotiations are could not be learned
Monday, for Manager Teddy Cassent
of the locals was out Of town.
The fans here are hungry for more
good ball, however, and there seems to
be no reason to doubt that they will
be gratified. There would be much
rivalry between teams representing
Putnam and Webster or Dudley. pro-
viding the playing ability of the or
ganizations prove anywhere near as
evenly matched as in the series just
closed with Southbridge.
Webster fans surely could come out
with a real team II they decide to
boost a series and doubtless Dudley
fans could do likewise. Up across the
Massachusetts, border the fans are
not pikers, Webster always being re-
garded as a great sporting town, so
If the series is arranged it will likely
prove a real one. More about the
matter will be known early this week.
