Death Claims Mrs. Sunday

The mystery of what men call
death" is constantly before us in one
form or another but seldom is it more
difficult to fathom than in the case of
Mrs. Iva Markham Sunday, who pass
ed away Saturday morning about six
o'clock at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. l.. Writ Markham. She
was young and beautiful, highly edu-
Gated and talented, "A bride of only n
few months over a year, with little
son, and a handsome new home on
which she had spent months of at
tention and care just completed and
ready to move into, and yet the dread
messenger would not be denied. She
was called to leave husband, child and
family, and the many bright things
that make life attractive and go to
that uncharted bourne which sends
back no tidings of safe arrival to COM
fort the loved ones left behind. She
was born and raised in Lamar, and
educated in the schools of this city,
and the Baldwin, Kansas, and Chicago
Universities. She taught languages
in several high schools and later in
the Chicago University. In January,
1918, she was married to Mr.. Morris
r. Sunday and to this union one son
was born. She was always an earnest
christian worker and took prominent
part in all the activities of the Meth
odist church in Lamar. She was taken
sick in Denver while buying furnish
ings for her new home, and had been
confined to bed at the home of her
parents since returning from the trip.
The funeral service was held from the
! new home on Third street on Monda,

entitled not only to the training but

Oil Excitement.

Our citizens interested in oil COM
panics having lands in northern Texas
are on tip-toes these days-all fused
up and excited by the many big strikes
being made there. Many Of them have
large interests in that section and hope
runs high. The Cotton County Oil &
Gas Co. has 20 acres right in the
heart of the field and the NeeNo-She
Oil Co. has 5000 acres within few
miles of production. If you see "A
friend who just can't work but spends
the day looking at maps, you can bet
your last dollar that he has oilitis.
The disease is very virulent and lasts
until the victim is broke when he
cheerfully goes back to work. In only
extreme cases has it ever proved fatal.
When the scourge has run its course
Lamar will have n large supply Of
labor to help pave Main street.

Admires His Sporting Spirit, But
Asserts Flight Gained Nothing
for Science

Lisbon, June 6.-(Delayed)-"Is 1t
true that Hawker and Grieve are
safe?" This was Lieut. Commander
Reads first question on debarking
from the NC.4 at Lisbon. When he
had been treasured he said:
"Since l first heard the news Of
their flight on my arrival at the
Azores have been divided between
admiring the courage and sporting
spirit they showed and blaming them
for risking their lives on so fool
hardy an adventure, for no one knew
better than they that if compelled to
come down for any one Of a thousand
reasons they could not, even under
the most favorable sea conditions
save their plane, and as for them
selves 1t was long shot.
Had Extraordinary Luck
when you consider that we saw
only two vessels between Newfound-
land and the Azores, outside of our
Gestroyers, you can see what extra
ordinary luck they had, Flying based
on luck is admirable, but it does not
advance the science of flying"
Commander Towers, who was
about to leave for Plymouth on the
Rochester, made this comment on the
Hawker flight:
"Hawker took sporting chance
and We took the least possible
| chance. Like the whole world, OF
course, | was thrilled by his sports
manship and | felt terribly when II
was first reported that he was lost
Fortunately those two brave mer
have been saved but another time
hope they go into the new air naviga
ton with an eye to the practical re
suits, for even if Hawker had arrived
in Ireland, it would have proved only
that he was a great flyer with won
derful luck.
Read came across more slowly
conveyed and watched over by hal
the American Navy, but he, as vel
as Bellinger and I, could have crossed
as safely anywhere or seaplanes, !
It had not been for the weather con
ditions for which were not prepared
and against which we must be pre-
pared next time. We learned OF new
dicffiulties to be overcome and proves
We could make flights through chang
es Of air not known before"
Reads Flight the More important
Lieut.. Commander Bellinger, VIII
had listened to what Commando
Towers said added:
Reads fight is not only recor'
but it proved new things. II Hawke
had arrived 1t would rather hav'
made our preparations look like over
caution and skyrockets from the de
stroyers made flying like riding dow
line Of posts. But Hawker did no
arrive and Read did.
"At the present state of develop
ment unconvoyed seaplanes canno
safely cross the Atlantic, but tn,
things We learned trying show the lin'
of necessary development, liftinl
from the running sea, determining ex
act position without alighting and 81
on. Hawker's daring in CHANGING thu
transatlantic fight is unforgetabl
but Read, arriving TRANQUILITY, prepar
ing his report as he approached tn
shore of Portugal, is more importan
scientifically"
