When you have your happy mar
ried friends about you"
Il cant help feeling" said
Harry soberly. that in some way
there was a big mistake. John
Sterling was good fellow and /
always admired his wife. be-
lieve the mistake was in their
marrying"
Perhaps" said Pat, "but ]
have two other documents in the
case. One was brought in by the
police reporter who, 1t seems, is
great friend of a woman of the
town and the other was sent to
me by an anonymous person."
"I'll have my men hauled over
the GOALS for not finding out any,
thing your police reporters can"
said Tim.
mo, you won't, commissioner
for this must end right here"
asserted Pat. "The case is ended
and it would do no good to rake
up the scandal. l think l shall
read to you the letter that came
to me thru the mails first" con-
tinued Pat. ut came with moth
ing but this notation on the mar
gin:
This letter was received by
me this morning. You see that it
Is from John Sterling, whose
body was found in Piney Woods
yesterday
There was no name signed.
The letter, as did the other, be-
gan with no formal words of
salutation:
I think probably that in all
this world, dear-woman-who-has-
loved-me, you are positively the
only person who will grieve when
am gone. And you will have
to keep your grief tight shut in
your heart, for no one but me has
ever known that you loved me.
Dear woman, best of all
women, l want to thank you for
that love. Because I could not
return 1t in the same measure
that 1t was given to me is one of
the greatest sorrows that has ever
come to me. There, my dear,
have said 1t. Often you have
accused me OF not loving you. and
l have always protested that
did. But the truth must be told
now or forever remain unsaid.
When you inadvertently
showed me-poor worthless me
that l held your heart in my
keeping, I was filled with the ten
derest and sincerest pity that al
ready my love was another's-
that ! had given my heart to an
other who did not care for 1t,
another beside whom you are
pure gold as compared to the
most worthless dross.
Strange, isn't 1t, how our
vagrant hearts wander. I knew
you were much more worthy
than the woman I loved, but /
want you to know that no woman
in all the world held more OF my
respect and admiration
Why am l telling you at this
late day that l do not love you?
Because when you read this, you
will know that ! am dead. And
| do not want your heart to
break. Please remember that

Dear Miss Grey: I have a
very good fur cape, part seal
and part monkey fur. I dis
like to wear 1t, as l know they
are not wearing the monkey
fur this year. The cape. how
ever, is cut on the lines they
are wearing. Would you advise
me to wear 1t? MRS. #.
Why not? Many women, ]
might say, all sensible women,
are wearing things this year they
would not think of wearing last
year or the year before. In order
to win the war, men must fight;
but victory alone does not depend
upon IL. Women have a role, and
an important ono, to play; that

my In all things. IL the cape is
becoming and warm IL is per-
fectly proper for you to wear it..
Dear Miss Grey: VIII Ca
madam citizens who have regis
tered in the United States be clas-
sified and drafted in turn the
same as citizens, or will they be
turned over to the Canadian mill
tary authorities? A. N.
1t is probable they will be re-
ferred to the British recruiting
officers. For definite Informal
ton, consult an officer at the
nearest British recruiting sta
ton.
Dear Miss Grey: / am 81
years old, and am in love with
girl 20. Two years ago we
became engaged, but the en-
gagement was broken. I was
travelling, but kept writing to
her till about 10 months ago,
when I decided l must go to
war, and might just as we'll
forget her. | found that i'm
possible, however, so have
come back here to win her
again.
She will not permit me to
call on her, so l have written
her three letters, none of which
she has answered. Still, she
writes q friend that she loves
me, and can never forget me.
Can you suggest some way for
me to get her to make up with
me? HAROLD.
Who broke the engagement,
you or she? And who Is the per-
son who stopped writing? II I
read between the lines correctly
you are the one who shattered
her ideals concerning you, and
yOu are the one who must make
amends.
II yOu cannot persuade her to
allow you to call by telephoning
or writing, perhaps you can con-
trive to meet her in a seemingly
accidental fashion. Then put
your case Squarcly before her.
Try to make her understand how
vitality important it is to you that
she listen. II she does still love

Why Women Make the Best Fliers

awistion record for both wom-
en- and men and set up q new
worlds record for q flight by .

she would rather be q songbird

She has written exclusively for

articles, of which this Is tho
first, ON why women become
greater filters than men and
how other girls can follow her

Written exclusively for The Times.
BY KATHERINE STINSON
Worlds Greatest Woman Flyer.
Woman, whenever she wants
it, can have mastery of the air.
Nature has specially equipped
her for soaring-physically an
well as spiritually.
From sweeping, cooking and
mothering to cloud-skimming may
seem like q fair flight, but 1t s
precisely these domestic virtues
which qualify her for aerial pre-
eminence.
Cleanliness. patience, attention
to detail and caution. coupled
with q more highly organized
nervous system and intuition"
give her essential advantages over
the other sex.
It was a fine bit of symbolism
which sent Mother Goose, the first
sky rider, into the blue ON a
broom.
Mind Takes Shortcut.
Science says that a woman's
sensory impressions are trans
formed into motor impulses more
rapidly than mans; that her mind
works by shortcuts to reliable
conclusions.
This means closer coordination
between brain and eyes, and hands
and feet manipulating the con-
trolls. giving big advantage when
split seconds may count for life
or death.
l am never conscious Of rea-
soning as a man reasons, step by
step, while soaring. My decis-
ions are impulsive. That they are
reliable is testified to by six years
Of flying without a serious mis-
hap.
And I think I'm typically fem
mime in this respect.
Tidiness Helps.
Woman's natural tidiness and
attention to detail count supreme
ly in aviation. They impel her to
keep the delicate machinery poll
ished and clean. Dust in the
motor might prove fatal careless
ness. Safety in flying depends up
on the most minute watchfulness:
1t begins on the ground by detect
ing flaws.
In my record breaking flight
from San Diego to San Francisco
this was brought home to me
acutely. On the day I was to start
I found that the motor was miss
ing" and other things were wrong,
SO waited until l had personally
gone over the entire machine.
Only little dust in the carbu-
rotor. But it would have pre-
vented record flight and could
have been serious.
TOmboy Wins.
A man might have gone on,
trusting to luck.
Patience is another cardinal
virtue Of aviation. Lack of 1t has

GELS the average man. That, to-
gether with her regard for detail |
makes her an excellent mechanic. !

Of course, Kaiser Wilhelm can knock Count
Czernin of Austria off his peace stool and repudiate
him. at any tme but there's significance in the fact
that Czernin was ever permitted to present such
peace terms as he has.
"No annexations and no. indemnities' is long
way from what the German autocrats have been
demanding. The morale of the German people has
been largely held up by assurances that the cost of
the war would be paid by other peoples. Accord
ing to Austria representative at Brest Litovsk,
the kaiser so longs for peace that he kills that
dream and the dreams of "Mttel Europa" and a
"place in the sun" held by German power. From
world domination, paid for by conquered peoples,

CHAIRMAN EDES |NSPECTS WORK
 ON NEW ) LINE
Mir. .Edes Is Satisfied With Progress Made on the New Location
 of Railroad.

Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering commission with F. D. Browne, engineer in charge, returned to town yesterday evening from a tour of inspection of the works on the new D line and told a repre- sentative of the News that he was entirely satisfied with the location and the progress of the work.
 The new D line now extends from the switch to the bank of Fish creek, a distance of nearly three miles. It is expected that the piles to support the bridge across this stream will be driven and ready for capping in a day or two, when the laying of steel beyond Fish creek will be taken in hand.
 MT Edes is now busy going over the railroad situation with MT. Browne. He expects to leave for Anchorage via Fairbanks in a day or two.
 In an interview accorded the News representative yesterday, Mir. Edes said, with reference to the preventing of bank erosion along the waterfront and the protection of property owners in this neigh borhood, that he has taken up the matter with MT. Browne, and that the latter will undertake the neces- sary protective measures just as soon as a piledriver is available for the purpose. All of the piledrivers owned by the A. E. c. are busily engaged on the line at the present time, but it is thought that the ser vices of piledriver could be re- quisitioned in the near future, and the work of driving the piles along the waterfront will be taken in hanc in good time.
 With regard to work in this divi- sion, MT. Edes stated that all avail able men will be put to work on the main line and the construction of the railroad to the coal fields of Lignite will be pushed as rapidly as possible. If there is sufficient /, labor, after all the different branch es of construction work on the main line have been fully manned, for an appreciable amount of good to be done on the Fairbanks line, then some work will be undertaken north of Nenana this season. Any action taken by the Alaskan Engineering commission on the Fairbanks line will be dictated largely by the labor situation. There is a shortage of labor at the present time. Regarding the building of bunk CTS and other facilities for the hand ling of coal and loading into barges at the waterfront, MT. Edes thought it too early at the present time to discuss this matter. He said that the A. E. c. may do little develop ment work and mine for their own use, but that private enterprise will be trusted to do the real exploiting of this industry and the working of it on a large scale and every aid and encouragement can be expected from the A. E. c. in helping the development of this industry.
