RUTH Law TO FLY
AT NATIONAL FAIR
Americas Greatest Aviatrtx 70
Appear Ten Days at New
Orleans.

Ruth Law, Americas greatest AVA.
trix, will be at New Orleans for the
full term OF the National Farm aud
Live Stock Show. Nov. 10 to 10. and
will make spectacular day and night
flights.
Within the past year the name OF
Ruth Law has become a household
word all over the United States. In
quick succession she has set one new
flying record after another. and has
performed many dangerous and diff
cult feats with her aeroplane. She
came into national fame when she
made her record, breaking flight from
Chicago to New York
Some time ago Miss Law rendered
her services TO the United States gov
eminent for the European front. Be-
cause she is a woman and Americans
do not believe in having women do
their fighting. her offer has not been
accepted.
But Miss Law still cierishes an am.
bition to fly q battle plane on the Al.
lied western front-a dueling airplane.
She has seen the French and English
aviators in their maneuvers and has
flown with some OF them in their prac-
tice flights. She believes she could
handle one of the fragile machines In
the twisting, turning, falling cembats
of the air.
Miss Law recently said:
IF Woodrow Wilson, president Of
the United States and commander-in-
chief of our military forces. were to
say to me, 'Ayiatrix Law. / hereby
commission you to go get the kaiser !
should fly away on my bombing mis-.
sion not only with free conscience.
but with a glad heart"
In the meantime Miss Law rs doing
her mite for America. A few days ago
she subscribed $4,000 to the second
Liberty Loan. A great faeoYite with
the boys in khaki. she IL arranging
for series of flights for the soldiers
entertainment at various cantonments
over the country.
During her comparatively long stay
in New Orleans she will thrill the
fairs visitors by looping the loop and
performing numerous feats which no
one except herself has yet succeeded
in mastering. Recently she surpassed
all records by making the loop twenty
one times in single flight. Her night
flights will be illuminated by beauti'
full and dazzling pyrotechnic displays.
Miss Law commands $1,000 per day,
by far the highest salary paid any
flyer In the world. In securing her
services l. 3. Rennyson, manager OF
the show, is maintaining his policy OF
offering none except the finest attrac
lions obtainable

THE KILLING OF THE HOLLANDS
In Mobile County On Oct. 5tk.

So far as we have been able to
learn, no real clue has yet been found
as to who were the murderers of the
Caleb and John Holland and the
shooters OF Chester Holland in the
edge Of Mobile county on Dog River
near George county line on Friday
Oct. 5. The shooting occurred about
noon that day Caleb being toppled
off the bank of the river on this side
where he had just set down to eat
his lunch. John was also killed in
that or a later voley which came
from across the river out of screen
fixed there by the assassins and later
examined by the officers who found
tracks behind it. A full account Of
the awful affair appeared at the time
in the Mobile Daily paper. The gen
eral comment upon it is that if the
men had dope anything to deserve
kiling-and that is not established
the manner in which it was done was
bad and cowardly, they being given
no chance nor warning and begets
a condition tending towards making
human life cheap and unsafe if the
guilty ones are not sought out and
punished promptly No doubt they
we're encouraged in their plans and
discussed it as precedent, that
nothing was done in the Cowart kill
ling in the same way, which is the
very thing that has caused the
Herald to voice protest against;
in which many citizens join,
When in doubt about that Winter
