TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO
DAVID NJ. VAN METER

David MilIar VanMeter was born
in Harper county. Kansas, on August
III, 1890, and moved with his father
mother and two sisters to Upton
county, Tennessee, in 1898, where he
continued to reside on the farm OF
his father, near Bride, until the fam
lily moved to CovingtOn about one
year ago.
In the spring of 1918 he was called
into the army of the United States,
where he faithfully served his country
to the end Of his young life. He was
always a quiet, gentle and manly
boy, and being reared and nurtured
in deeply pious atmosphere, he
dedicated his heart to the Master by
joining the Presbyterian church at
Bride, of which church his father
was ruling elder, a short time
after the family came to Tennessee.
He led an exemplary Christian life
not only in the Bride community, but
after his removal to Covington,
where he Joined the First Presbyteri-
an church about nine months ago,
His lofty conception in every phase
and circumstance of life caused him
uncOmplaininglv to march into the
very "iaws of DEATH" After enlist
ing in the army, he ignored the warn
ings of sickness and pain entirely,
but continued in the face of both, to
lead the strenuous life of a soldier;
and so eager was he to equip him
self for supreme usefulness to his
country that, while unfit for work
on account Of sickness, he drove his
body until it fell exhausted by ia
tigue in the ranks of his fellow sol
diers, and died of sunstroke on the
3Oth day of July, 1918, just before
leaving England for the battlefields
of Europe. He gave his life for his
country and died the glorious death
of patriot. No one can do more.
1t is a great blessing to belong to
a good family. And it is also a
blessing to come Of healthy stock,
so that the soul may have a good
house in which to live and good tools
with which to work; and while it is
a great blessing to descend from in
telligent, cultured ancestors, to in
herit mind capable of conceiving
and executing great and noble plans
in life, yet the greatest blessing Of
all is to be born of truly religious
family. Not a family of Pharisees,
but one whose various branches can
say. "The Lord hath been our dwell
ing place in all generations" and of
whom others can say, Eye are a
chosen generation, a royal priest
hood" Of such a family came our
dear young friend. In his sudden
death not only the family, but his
beloved church and the community
in which he lived has sustained
shock and great loss. Each one Of
us feels personal sorrow for the
father Of this young man, our fell
low classmate, j. /. VanMeter; and
we take this method of permanently
communicating our feelings to our
dear friend and brother.
Therefore, be it resolved that we,
his fellow classmates, tender Brother
VanMeter our sincere and heartfelt
sympathy on account Of the death Of
his only son. Resolved further, that
these resolutions Of sympathy and
coincidence be spread upon the min
utes Of, our class, and copies Of them
be given to our brother and to the
Covington Leader for publication.

World Is channInn.

The world is changing, and human
ity has less patience with difficult peo-
pie. Cranky workers are not given
preference even when they are dis
tlnguished by unusual skill. Women
who aspire to popularity know that
they must bury all annoyance at what
ever does not please them in the
treatment accorded them. They can
not afford to voice any sensitive feel
ing or take any step toward retala-
ton. The lesson may be hard, but it
is decidedly wholesome, and the pity
of it is that so few women care to take
it.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.

DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT

A Brooklyn paper, printed on the
morning following the death OF Lieut.
Kinney and his companion aviator
gives more complete details concern
ing the accident than we were able
to obtain last week:
Two army ayiators, Lieut. Charles
III. Kinney, Jr., of Covington, Tenn,
and Lieut.. E. H. Austin, of Boston
Mass, both attached to the First Pro-
visionaI Aero Squadron. were instant
ly killed early today when the airplane
lin which they had been maneuvering
struck clothespole, overturning the
aircraft as the men were attempt
ing to make landing in the rear
yard of Henry D. Lott, at No. %
Ocean avenue, in the Flatbush section
Of Brooklyn.
Both ayiators were dead when lift
ed from the wrecked machine. Their
bodies were removed to the Queens
County Hospital and the military au-
thorities at Mineola notified.
The accident, which happened short
ly after 8 o'clock Monday, was wit
messed by hundreds of persons who
had watched the airplane as it made
a number of nose dives and spins,
thinking that the aviators only want
ed to thrill those below, when in real
ity the men were fighting for their
lives with an engine which was not
working properly
This fact was verified later by the
police of Eighty-second precinct, who
reported that before the accident the
aviators had landed twice in Prospect
park, where they had attempted to
adjust their engine. Just before the
airplane made it's second landing in
the park the aircraft made two nose
dives and was only Strengthened out
by Lieutenant Austin a few feet from
the ground. The airplane on this oc
casion was running very fast, and
might have struck a hundred or more
people who were watching the flight
had not Lieut.. Kinney jumped from
the observers seat and turned the
airplane around.
At this time, which was just before
the accident which resulted in the
death Of the aviators, Lieut.. Austin
told the police that the engine was
not working properly, and that in
stead of trying to do "foolhardy
stunts for the crowd" every effort
was being made to get the airplane
running well enough to return to
the flying field at Mineola.
That the aircraft was not working
properly was not known to those on
the ground, and as the aviators went
up and Immediately began series
of tail spins and nose dives, the hun
dreds watching thought it was for
their especial amusement.
The men had been in the air but
few minutes and had reached an alti-
tude of possibly 400 or 500 feet when
the airplane went into a nose dive.
AS the heavy Curtiss machine spun
downward at lightning speed it looked
as if it would strike the crowds in
the street. ,fbut Lieutenant Austin
Strengthened it out when less than
a hundred feet from the ground. The
airplane &hen circled perhaps fifty
feet lower and it became evident
the men were looking for 4 place to
land. They were too far from Pros
pect park to attempt to return to
their former landing place, and the
open lot behind the home Of Mr.. Lott
must have caught Lieut.. Austin's
eye.
As the airplane circled Mr.. Lofts
home the engine went dead and Just

Be the First.

Many a quarrel would come to a
speedy ending if both sides were not
afraid of being the first to make ad-
vances. Instead of being unwilling to
take the first step, you should be glad
of the chance Some of you perhaps,
are a little inclined to be envious Of
the one who is a born leader, who is
the first in so many things, but there
is no greater honor than to be the
first to end a misunderstanding, the
first to say, I'm sorry Exchange.

when children Are cross, Be klnd.

Don't be cross with children when
they are cross. If they are irritable
and pouty leave them alone to their
blues by trying to divert their atten-
tion to some interesting book or game
or toy. Get them outdoors to play or
to walk. Take them for a ride. The
common retort to cross children is in
being cross yourself, but this only
hurts the children. and makes them
moody and later respondent.
