Chicago Thursday

Louis Gertson, the human night
hawk" who will thrill thousands at
the great Interstate exposition in
Fargo, which opens next Monday
morning, recently gave out an inter-
view in which he made the assertion
that the chief cause for accidents in
the air are carelessness about repair
ing parts which are beginning to
show signs of wear, and second, in
ability to manage a sky-wagon.
Isn't 1t a dreadfully queer sensa-
tion to travel in the air-on your
head for instance? Don't you feel
beyond any human aid?" were two

several birdmen and one birdWoman

reached out to his desk, crossed his
fingers and raped on wood"
Landing is one Of the most diff
cult feats Of the game. Caution, he
says, is a very important bump to
cultivate. and preparedness is almost
necessity Gertson's hangar will
probably be located just to the west
of Merchants pavilion where Miss
Ruth Law kept house" last year.
He will have broad level field on
which to start his machine and then
to gradually rise over the towering
trees and fly over the exposition
grounds.
Night Flights Spectacular.
Night flights are always more in
teresting and spectacular than those
of the afternoons. Magnesium flares
are lighted from the bird and trail

in it's loop the loops. At times when
the plane is high, way high in the
air, 1t resembles q comet, the mag
nesium flares seemingly the tail of
fire.
Like Miss Ruth Law. Gertson has
his own mechanics to replace any
piece on the plane which is worn and
might break. He has a strap which
he wears across his shoulders and
another one of equal strength for
his knees 1t is by these braces as
they might be called. that he Is held
in place when he makes his perilous
flight for the amusement of the

FEWER HAIL STORMS
HIT STATE this YEAR
More Moderate Weather Responsible
For Dlmished Damage by
Ice Storms.

Several severe hail storms have
visited North Dakota during the past
few days, doing tremendous damage,
though the number of storms and
their extent is not nearly as great as
in previous years. The fact that the
weather has been considerably more
moderate than last year, and in other
big hail years, is responsible for
lighter losses this season.
Hail storms SO far reported include
one that did a great deal of damage
in the Halliday district; another that
swept across eastern Burleigh and
western Steele county; one that hit a
small territory near Cooperstown, and
one that hit eastern Williams county.
