THE REAL ADVENTURE

1t happens very often in real life
that after a couple have been married
for little while they have few COM
mon interests beyond their conjugal
relations. The husband, engrossed in
his business, comes to look upon his
wife as one of his possessions. He
doesn't share his larger life with her
she isn't his friend and chum; rath-
his plaything and the mother of his
children. In The Real Adventure"
the wife discovers this state of affairs
and determines to accomplish some
thing outside her home life that will
win her husbands respect for her in
telligence and his friendship. Her eff
forts to do something big" and her
success made the story.
Henry Kitchell Webster, the author,
was born in Evanston, Ill, in 1875. AZ
ter taking his degree at Hamilton Col
lege, he tried teaching rhetoric for n
year at Union College but his real in
terest was in his fathers business (En-
gineers, Founders and Machinists, grain
elevators a specialty)-not as a job,
but as copy for fiction. His first books
were all about the romance of business
He wrote "The Short Line War" and
Calumet X" in collaboration with his
fellow townsman, roommate and life
long friend, Samuel Merwin, and THE
Banker and the Bear" and Roger
Drake" by himself. AT Nassau, in the
Bahamas, where he spent his honey
moon, he found material for IA histor-
ical novel of the Civil War, THE Trai-
tor and Loyalist" The next year or
two he lived in Paris and came home
to take up wosk as special writer,
first on the American Magazine and
later on Ridgeway's Weekly. But he
never felt himself competent repor-
ter and at this time his vein of serious
fiction seemed worked out. "The Real

SHAHAN VISITS GOVERNMENT
AVIATION CAMP IN TEXAS

Phil Shahan while making "A busi-
ness trip to Electra Texas (as will be
noted in another column of this issue)
continued his trip on to Wichita Falls
Texas, for the purpose of viewing the
government aviation camp, which is
now under construction about seven
miles from that city, thinking that he
would gain some information that may
be of value to Tucumcari, as we are
working hard to get such camp To-
Gated near this city.
Mr.. Shahan states that upon his
arrival at the camp he found that no
visitors were allowed, but he had the
pleasure Of seeing the workmen leav-
ing the grounds. There was such a
crowd of them that it taxed all the
transportation facilities to the limit,
including street cars, jitneys, wagons
and hundreds walked He says 1--WE
picked up three of the pedestrians and
took them to town. In the course Of
our ride ! learned from them that at
this time the government has employ
ed about 500 men, and has had as high
as $500. The men draw from three to
nine dollars day. There are now
about 800 enlisted men and officers
there. So you can see what an avia-
tion camp of this kind would mean to
