and islands of this incomparable coast line.
 At a little frontier village she found 2 highly educated Indian who has a degree both in law and theology. He proved sc be an old friend of Mrs. Norris Al Skagway she left the boat going into the interior by railroad up the White Horse river Then down the coast again, a brief stop at Vancouver, and dowr through Puget Sound to Seattle, where q suffrage luncheon was given her by Mrs Parker, a local attorney An interesting episode here was a visit to Justice of the Peace Whitehead, who proved to be g young and beautiful girl, and to the juvenile court, reform school and house of correction, which are models of theii kind. The evening was filled by Wood row Wilson ball.
 From Seattle she journeyed to Tacoma and then on to Portland, where Mrs Woodruff was waiting to entertain her She says at each town in which she has stopped friends have eagerly done every thing within their power to make her stay most pleasant. After a glimpse of Spo. kane, she is now touring the Yellowstone National park. A big transcontinenta jump will then bring her down to Chi cago, although she will stop at Lincoln Neb., en route. Drawing nearer home ltN days. Her sister, Mrs. N. N. Hodskin in Wildwood Crest, on the Jersey coast will be her hostess at, 'Clearview" After a short stay there she will go to Atlantic City as delegate from this city to the national suffrage convention.
 Prospective investors in longtime rail- road securities may find reason for ap- prehension. in the prophecies of Mrs. Waldo Peirce of New York city, who, having passed all the flying tests set by her instructors at Wright Aviation school is now preparing to qualify for military license so that she may be- come the first woman aviator in the United States service.
 Mrs. Pierce, who is the daughter of Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, founder of anti noise societies throughout the country, is confident that railroad passenger traf- fics is bound to fall off appreciably as the airship is perfected and popu- Iarized. She has visions, also, or man. moth aeroplanes capable of transporting 50 or 100 tons of freight from New York to Chicago.
 She says:
 T have taken up aviation, not In yne search of a new thrill, but because 1t is the coming means of transportation, VI she explained yesterday. T have learned to fly because I want to avoid the de- lays and inconveniences of railroads and the grime of motoring. What with speed laws and poor roads motoring is joke.
 Ten years from now peneve small seryicable monoplanes, capable of car rying four or more persons will be pur- chasable at 8 price within the reach of those now able to afford smaii car Landing spaces will be provided in the cities, and the commuter will the come into his own"
 The idea that the commuter nign, pre- fer something more stable was secuted by Mrs. Peirce.
 Flying in a small plane such as ] have described would be just like riding in a flivver," she declared. Tt Is mrs- take to think that flying is dangerous Fancy flying is sometimes hazardous looping the loop is risky, but sensible flying is snap"
 Accidents? What a deprecating ges- ture she waved the question aside. T never think of disaster-never look when a machine falls, and there are many spills to the discredit of the army fliers at Mineola. If you never think of trouble it thinks less of you"
 Mrs. Peirce has ordered 120-horse power biplane of the latest Wright model. When she receives it she expects to make a long distance flight as an ex- republication of her theory of the prac- cability of the aeroplane as a means of popular excursion
 'I'll fly up Broadway one of these days" she promised. T want to be the first girl to do it.''
