MRS. william z. Conger.
The death of Mrs. William z.
Conger az the Portland Surgical
Hospital on the morning Of Feb
ruary 22nd, came As severe
shock TO the community, for none
had realized her serious condition.
Though she has been afflicted with
goitrous growth for 25 years, IL
was only a few weeks ago that
her condition became acute, and
the necessity for an operation
evident. Though convinced that
her only hope lay in surgical as
sigtance, neither she nor her fam
ily fels any doubt as 10 the out
come. and il was only after the
operation had been begun that
the seriousness Of the situation
was revealed. The malignant
growth had reached her heart and
80 weakened her that she could
not recover from the shock The
operation was performed shortly
after noon Thursday. the 2Ist, and
that evening she lapscd into un-
consciousness from which she new
cr recovered, the end coming the
following morning about 4 80
O clock. The attending physician.
DR. C0ffey, gave every assistance
possible, working with the patient
practically all night and the fol.
lowing morning. though his time
was much III demand, and un-
doubtedly did al that surgical
skill and patient care and attcn-
ton could do.
Mrs. Conger was accompanied
to Portland by Judge and Mrs II.
w. Niles. Judge Niles was TAX
ing his wife there for treatment
and knowing that Mrs. Conger
contemplated such trip IN the
near future, suggested that she
accompany them. With his ac-
quainsance in Portland and fam
iIiarity with the Hospital he fclf
that he could be of considerable
assistance. Arrangements were
quickly made and they departed
Wednesday morning, feeling per-
feet confidence in the successful
outcome Of the trip. She left IN
the very best Of spirits and ap-
parent good health, and her last
hours with her family were spent
happily with no fears for the fu
ture.

the new plant Of the Glenn Ii. Martin
company, and the first Of the planes,
now being put through its acceptance

OFFICER DEFINES TAIL SPIN
Explains Aviation Term Which Is Not
Generally Understood by
Public.

st. Louis. What is tail spin? OF
Ill questions asked aviators this is
the most frequent, according to Lieut..
Charles Fl. Plat, flying officer at Scott
field, Belleville, III. o.5
"A tail SPIN" said Lieutenant Platt,
lis the natural action Of an airplane
when 1t is falling earthward out OF
control, the spinning being because
more weight is concentrated in the
nose. than in the tail. the latter thus
turning in a wider circle.
"a tail spin results from reduction
of the forward speed so that the at
traction of gravity overcomes the buoy
ant properties of the wings when suf-
ficient air is passing through them. !"
