Falls 5000 Feet From Airplane

In the American Magazine Pat O'Brien. the American aviator, says:
 Flight of Us started together and we had not been out very long when nine Hun machines came after us. We fig ured that with nine Huns to eight British or Americans the odds were easy, so we went
 "I know now that it was a trap. At the time, however, the fun was too great to think of giving up, so we went after them in a hurry They kept retreat ing, firing an occasional shot to lead us on, until suddenly Il machines rose, ap- parently from nowhere and these IS Huns attacked the seven of us-for one of our boys had been dropped.
 For the first time I fought with bit terness in my heart. Up to this time hadn't felt much hatred for the Hun. There was work to be done, and I did told that pack of rats in the cellar must be chased and killed. You don't hate rats when you kill them, and that is how I felt toward the Hun up to that moment. With these odds against us, however, I began to hate them and l haven't stopped hating them yet.
 We had been fighting but few min utes when they got me, the bullet going through the roof of my mouth and lodg- ing in my throat. As I was hit, must have shut off my motor, because if hadn't. I should have been instantly killed, my fall being from 5000 feet. As it was I was only terribly bruised and broken up, and. of course. knocked un- conscious

Who John M. Browning Is

There is an article in the American Magazine about John M. Browning, the inventor of the Browning gun. The au- thor says:
 Tall. slender, bald on top of his head, short gray hair; cleanly -chisled little stubby gray mustache; face a fascinat- ingly complex system of fine little lines, caused by attentvely examining small bits of mechanism; 62 years old-that in brief, is picture of the John M Browning Of today. In Hartford, Bridge port and New Haven, Conn.,, and in Og- den. Utah, people are likely to speak of him simply as Old J. NJ
 At the time the one-milionth pistol was made by the Fabrique Rationale, in Belgium, King Albert bestowed knight hood upon the inventor, making him a Chevalier de rOrder de Leopold. He Is entitled to call himself Sir John M Browning. But the only effect this dec oration had on him was to make him somewhat vexed when the news got into the local papers. He looks no more like a knight than he does like a matinee idol. He lives quietly, and dresses plain ly though neatly, and would rather let somebody else do most of the talking. Compliment him about his achievements and he is quite likely to blush like a girl.
 Some ten years ago, in recognition of Brownin's pre-eminence as an inventor of firearms, he received an honorary dec- oration from MT. Kaiser Hohenzollern. Browning now feels that that makes a permanent blot on his escutcheon, even though he has since trampled the dec- oration under foot"

SAILING TO EUROPE
 A GREAT ADVENTURE
Worth the Doing and Daring Writes Lady Mary-Monot- onous Trip These days Crossing the Sea-Casting
 Off Grim Business of War and Mystery
By LADY MARY

On the Atlantic Ocean, Homeward bund! 1t has a wonderful sound now Gays, and I dare not say much, or in- ecd anything, about these strangely alm yet thrilhngs days that draw me hst little nearer each hour to that mall island that looms so large in the ges of the world.
 For nowadays it is surely the passage tay through which the greatest of our llies is marching toward the goal of lir hopes and victorious desires.
 My last hours in New York, just a kw days ago, are jumbled memory things forgotten and then suddenly remembered just too late to accomplish hem There were so many things in few York and l wanted to acquire as ny own and to take home with me. 1 am ure, had I had time space and money hough, would have secured many more f those amazingly pretty ready-made owns that are the most temptations hings that were ever spread before the Ees of weak and covetous women.
 As have said before, I think that lnaerica has been grossly misrepresented D most unknowing English people as an kpensive place, where only rich people an exist and be comfortable.
 It is my experience that you can buy heaper and more attractive things in lew York than we ever can see TOT he same money in England-and cer- hinly in London
 So. imagine me dashing along Fifth venue and up and down Thirty fourth r. Forty-s second street just about an hour efore I was due at the docks, in a vain ffort to buy all the things that l thought
 couldn't do without and then endeav- ring to stuff the miscellaneous assort- aent into the small space left in the teamer trunk l had left open for the flrpose.
 It was a fearful, feverish. frantic rush md thrust I can assure you But at last tsomehow-it was all accomplished and was actually off.
 SEND-OFF LONELY
 It is a lonely business to set orr on tn ocean voyage these days. No friends to see you off. No messages to he ship; no flowers: no candies; no hmilingly regretful faces on the pier, 10 waving storm of handkerchiefs flut- hring in the breeze.
 Just mystery. khaki and stern iusinesslike officialdom everywhere. Ind vet somehow it stimulates and hrills and stirs the heartstrings-and hen you are off. skipping down the itream quietly, mysteriously with lots If "orders'' about your departure that
