Aviators At Mather
Field Now Learning
To Make Solo Flights

Mather Field, Sacramento, CAL,
July 13.-With but little more than
two weeks experience in flying, the
young aviators at Mather Field now
are learning solo flying. At first
their flights were made as observers
that IL they sat beside the instruct
or and studied the mechanism ana
control Of the airplanes, but never
did they have, anything to do with
the control Of the machines.
Now It is different. True, the
young birdrhen do not "a alone. but
they are proud to be able to mAnipu-
late the levers that control the big
flying machines. Their confidence is
augmented, too, with the presence Of
the ever-alert instructor who sits
ready to take charge il anything goes
a BIT awry.
Accidents at this field, thus far. are
nill.A As n Of the youngsters said.
recently: Accidents? Why there
amt no such animal" Perhaps the
climate has much to do with the
splendid record thus far held by the
field. although the experts say that
this field IL but one small unit out
Of many throughout the country
and that naturally, in proportion, the
percentage Of accidents Is small.
But tho cadets have been heard to
remark on the ever-presents aYnbul-s
ance and stretcher men when they
are trying out their aerial steeds.
The lads think the presence Of such
ghastly paraphernalia is q bit ysug-
gestive.

The Cordova daily times., 1918-06-29

The following is an article which ap. peared recently in Red Cross Clip pings" and will be of special interest to trained nurses who are considering the matter of offering their services to the Red Cross:
 MISS Jane A. Delano, director of the bureau of nursing of the American Red Cross, points out to nurses the un- qsual. opportunities offered by the in- surance law, enacted for the protection or our army and navy. The provisions of the insurance bill apply equally to nurses assigned to duty as members of the army and navy nurse corps, and make it possible for the nurse to se- cure, at nominal rates, protection for herself as we'll as for designated mem- bers of her family dependent upon her.
 "A great responsibility rests upon the nurses of the country continues Miss Delano. They are the only group of women recognized as a part of the military establishment. While thou sands and thousands of nurses will be needed, the number is relatively. small compared with the number of women In America who should stand back of them snd make possible the service for which they are so greatly needed at this time.
 'The nurses who share in the hard ships. the dangers and the prtvations incident to war should be looked upon as the representatives of the weman- hood of America at the front, and these women who stand ready to- sac rifice all, even their lives if necessary, should receive the sympathy, the SUD- port and the interest of the millions of women whose husbands, brothers and sons are fighting for the safety of the country. Not only should the women of the country encourage nurses who have this blessed opportunity for serv- ice to volunteer promptly, but they should make every effort possible to protect the nurses holding themselves ready for service and share with them the responsibility and sacrifices neces- sery.
 IA special appeal is made there fore to the nurses of America to vol unteer at once through their nearest local committee on Red Cross nursing
