His First Flight.

The following is an interesting let
ter from Ames Rogers, who Is tram
ing at the Kelly aviation field, Texas,
to his mother and father, Mr.. ana
Mrs. G. A. Rogers: Well flew to
day and suppose you all want to
know what it was like. Ben Sween
ey. who is lieutenant down here
came over to see me last night, ana
said if / came around this morning
while no one was looking, he would
take me up. Well, about 80 l
went around and there he was wait
ing for me with helmet and goggles.
We went over to a machine and he
said, "get in" and l crawled in ana
fastened the safety belt with no more
thrill than if l had been climbing i'll
the back seat of the Cad" 1t was
the moment that l had been waiting
for so long, that ! guess that part had
all worn off. Then Ben got in and
the mechanic turned over the prop;
the engine started and after a min
utes warming up, we were off. As we
tossed across the field didn't realize
we were leaving the ground until l
looked over the edge and saw IL
SHINING away. Then came little
thrill, but no nervousness. After
that he climbed until we were up
about 1000 feet. The houses look
ed like doh houses, the roads like
narrow strips of ribbon, and the
creeks and ponds shine up to you ike
beds Of silver Everything looks very
regular and precise on the ground
Still no feeling Of nervousness.
Then he motioned for me to take
the controls and he had told me
what his signals would be to do GER
tain things. Wen the nervousness
appeared right then. You have to
do so many things at once to keep
the ship flying level and on the de-
sired course. j was having my hands
full flying straight ahead aud then
he gave me the signal to turn in the
course. l did it but controlled too
much and he Immediately set US
straight. Thas was the story for
awhile, and then he motioned that he
would take the ship.
Zip, straight down we went ana
then straight up and my stomach
turned almost inside out, so 1t seem
ed. Then we looped, and we spiraled
and we did Fights and we dived. l
was too busy wondering which way l
was going to do anything else. In
fact / didn't know whether we were
inside down or not. But 1t was
great and l kept thinking all the
time. will I get used to it so can
do all these things myself" Then
we came back over the field and
landed and there was a real thriller
To land you cut of the engine and
nose it owe so you are coming down
at an angle Of about 40 degrees. 1T
seemed like 90 degrees to me. The
oround seems to be rushing up to-
meet you and then you 1Tel off and

Communication

Mr. Editor:
Cambridge and Dorchester county
have been over the top on Liberty
Loans and Red Cross subscriptions.
Why not let everybody take off on
the Fourth Day of July and have a
big day, and see how many people
We can bring to Cambridge and show
them a big time?
Why not start an autom obile pa
rade from Hurlock at 8 o'clock in
the morning, and have something
going on the rest of the day?
We could have three or four bands
from neighboring towns, baseball in
the morning and afternoon, races,
and a speaking in Spring Valley in
the afternoon and again at night,
with band concerts. A float parade
also would be a good thing.
Let's get hustle on ourselves, land
have one big day. Perhaps we could
get Governor Harrington, ex-Gover-
nor Goldsborough, Secretary of State
Simmons, and Hon ]. Harry Coving-
ton to deliver addresses.

LIGHTNING DOES SOME
VERY QUEER STUNTS
Strikes Chimney on Home of Clar-
ence J. Henry And Passes Down it
And Out of House.

During the severe electrical storm
last night lightning struck a chin
ney on the rear of the home of Mr..
Clarence j. Henry, Church street.
and split the chimney, as far as the
roof, in half. The bolt did some
slight damage 10 the roof, but pass
ed on down the chimney into the kit
chen, in which at the time were Miss
Eloise, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry's older
daughter, and Mary Wilson, the
Cook. They both stated that they
saw apparently ball of fire as large
as a bushel basket pass right thru
the room, and both beat a hasty re-
treat out of the kitchen.
Mr.. and Mrs Henry were on the
front porch at the time, and heard
the noise of the falling bricks, and
also heard the ordinations of those
in the kitchen. Mr.. Henry rushed
into the kitchen, but the storm had
blown out the fuses, so that he could
get no light, but he soon discovered
that his daughter and the cook had
made their escape.
The damage was very slight. prob
ably not exceeding $40 or sic, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry are congratulate
ing themselves upon very narrow
escape.
