U. S. AVIATOR
FRANCE HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Sergeant Andrew Campbell
Performs Remarkable
Feat at Front.
Many American Filters Are
Honored by the French
Government.

French front in France, July g.
(By the Associated Press. )-Sergeant
Andrew Campbell won in a fight with
death, with the chances a million to
one against him, while flying with the
Lafayette squadrilla yesterday after
noon. The lower left wing of his air
plane broke off when he was soaring
a mile high. Only his complete pres
ence of mind and GOODNESS saved him..
Campbell threw all the controls on
the other side and volplaned some
distance in order to detach the float
ing remnants Of the broken wing
which was beating against n oody
of the machine and threatening to
dislocate everything. Then when he
had succeeded in this he descended
slowly on the remaining wing into a
beet field without injury to himself.
The slightest turn in the air would
have mean death.
This accident was preceded by the
ceremony, Of the presentation of an
American flag to the squadrilla by an
employee of the treasury department
at Washington. French and American
aviators from several squadrillas
were paraded on the flying grounds
for the ceremony which was a fine
spectacle Of the fraternity of the two
nations. The famous Alpine band
played the naLlOndl dHLIleIlS VI OOlIA
countries.
Before the ceremony, Corporals
Campbell, Bridgeman, Hewitt, Hin1le
and Drexel were promoted to be
sergeants for bravery during recent
operations. They, with others have
been operating along the whole front
where they drove off dozens of Ger
man fighting machines during the
German offensive last week.
In the week from June "a to June
80 they fought II air duels and as the
result Of their "Reminiscences fur
nished the French with most valuable
information. Lufbery and Willis had
four engagements each, Bigelow and
Lowell two each, Thaw, Havill, Soubi-
ran, Hall and the French Lieutenant
De Maisson-Rouge one each
Hall, who Is a new conner after
serving as a machine gunner in the
British army, while making his second
flight with the Lafayettes was wound
ed severely. He was decorated with the
military medal for attacking single
handed seven German airmen. In
fantrymen on the ground stopped their
fighting to watch the stirring combat
which ended in Hall being wounded
in three places. He lost consciousness
at 6, height of three miles but recov.
cred his senses when within a hun.
dred feet of the ground and brought
his machine safely within his owr
lines.
Walter Lowell also suffered an &C.
cident. The motor broke down in the
air and the machine, out Of control
descended astride a trench in the
French lines. The unconscious aviator
was taken from his machine but wa.
not seriously hurt.

Origin of "printer's Devil"

In early days printing was styled
the "black art" and printers were
supposed TO be in league with Satan.
But it was in the time of Aldus Man
utius, in Venice, that matters took a
serious turn. This was the famous
printer who first published the Greek
and Roman classics. He took into
his employ negro boy who was
homeless on the streets in Venice.
The people supposed the boy was an
imp of Satan and helped in the print
ing. Mobs collected about to wreck
the building when the boy was
brought forward and exhibited, and
1t was shown that he was flesh and
blood; but, he was still called 1.-THE
printers devil" and every boy in his
position ever since has been so call

WOMAN is A MAIL CARRIER.
For Twelve Years Has Braved Win.
ter and. Bad Roads.

Drawing snow, sleet, drifts, biting
winds in the winter and blistering
and scorching heat in the summer,
Miss Julia M. Shafer of Knoxville,
Nd, for twelve years has served the
United States as rural mail carrier.
She is now covering the same
route her father travelled fourteen
years ago, when the route first was
established. Miss Shafer in those
days was substitute for her father;
way in which we live and care for
her.
In the twelve years that Miss
Shafer has carried mail it is esti-
mated that she has travelled $500
miles. She makes twenty-five miles
six days the week. With the excep-
ton of the regular fifteen day an
nual vacation, Miss Shafer has been
off duty only thirty days in twelve
years.
1t is hard snow or a destructive
storm that prevents this woman car
rier from making the rounds daily.
Ordinarily she uses horse and bug
gy. The type of roads, extending
through the mountain section of the
county, would not permit of the use
of motor car.
When roads are blockaded by
drifts, as is often the case in the
winter, she discards the old covered
buggy and ventures forth on horse
back. Three years ago she deliver
ed the mails in this manner for sew
eral weeks.
She is her own housekeeper. Each
night when she returns from her
work she plunges into the midst Of
housework.

BEER BURIED IN CELLAR.
Case of Aged Brew Unearthed nj
Elma.

One day last week while Fred
Stretch and Herman Schwake were
engaged in eXcavating the cellar for
Alvin Gross new hardware and tin
shop on the west side of Busti Ave,
opposite Miller's store they struck a
mine of olden golden glory, a case
of private stock that had nestled in
the bosom Of mother earth for a
score or more of years. The men
Were at work with team and scrap
|er. Mr.. Stretch was driving the
team and Mr.. Schwake was holding
the scraper. On the fatal round the
scraper struck something that made
a sound like breaking glass and
there was an immediate outburst of
gas, and Henry yelled Whoa, Whoa
up, stop, halt" What's the matter in
quired Fred, drawing rein. Oh! re-
piled Henry, drawing a cork, i am
just going to set ,em up, here, have
one on me- and he handed Fred a
bubbiing, sparkling bottle of beer.
The scraper had broken several bot
ties. oh, why didn't they dig that
cellar with a spade, one of those toy
spades like children use to play in
sand, then they might have saved all
of the salvage.
An old inhabitant explains that a
blind pig was located in a building
situated on that lot some twenty
years ago, and that the proprietor
had habit of burying his surplus
stock in hole in the bottom of the
cellar. After the fire many years ago
it was evidently forgotten, or per-
haps they thought it was spoiled.
