Early, In January rumors were circulating with, 1t appears a con- siderable foundation of fact, that Will Hays, National Republican chairman, was coming to Connecti- cut accompanied by Mrs Mccormick or Miss Mary Garrett Hay, to hold meetings to enlist the women for the Republican ranks. But notS&ng hap pened. It opens an interesting field of speculation as to just what went on behind the scenes about this time The honor of a visit from the Ma tional chairman the stimulation of interest in plans of the Republican party-these seemed popular moves to the average party member. But the Republican state chairman looks with nof friendly eye on the entrance of women into the political arena Was. there a struggle going on be- tween his personal feelings and con alterations of party advantage? It looked very much that way.

ROh1fs found himself in a tenn perature of 25 degrees below zero with a wind blowing 100 miles an hour, when he .reacned the top of his climb of nearly six miles. The cold kept causing trouble with his engine. He cut up the pillow of his seat and tried to use the stuffing to protect parts of the engine from the cold. but this was blown away as fast as he put 1t in place.
 He climbed out on his machine to cut a water pipe when he thought that cold water from the pipe was helping to chill the engine, but he found it difficult to ramb1e about his machine when it was at a height con- siderably greater than the sumrait of Mount Everett, and finally had to start downward without achieving the record credited to Casale. He said afterward that he believed he could have beaten Casale's record if the engine had been little better protected against cold.
 The oxygen which the pilot breath ed when so high that the air was too thin to sustain life of itself, was al- most exhausted when he had finished with his desperate attempts to keep frost from invading the engine, and he had no assurance of keping life In his body if he continued his eff forts to buck a few thousand feet higher through the Arctic blizzards he found at that height. During part of the flight he was forced to work his gasoline pump by hand. He was protected by a heavy furlined suit, with his face completely covered by a hood with inset goggles.
 Rohlfs flew a Curtis Wasp biplane equipped with a 12-cylinder 400 horse power Kirkham motor. He tried out the climbing powers of the machine two weeks ago in an unofficial flight, in which he reported reaching a height of S1 ,co0 feet Numerous wit nesses were called yesterday to make the flight official. and the barorraph | was signed by Major J. F. Roessel, Nator 1T. F. Miller, Lieut.. Col. w. L. i Moose, Jr..- Captain A. F. Simonin, | Colonel Archie Miller, Augustus Post, 1 on behalf of the Aero Club of Amer lea: John T. Tarbox, secretary of the Aero Club of America, and the pilot himself.
 The barograph record will be ex- hausttvely examined by air experts and Inath enaticians, to fix the official figures of the height. It was said that study of the record might result in placing the exact altitude achieved anywhere between 30, 400 and 31. .00I feet
 Roh1fs machine weighed 1,eoc pounds. It had a wing span of 32 feet and half an inch and was g feet over all in length. It was intended for use in the war, as a two-plane machine gun fighting plane, but it was no. ready before the arnistice was signed | Rohlfs will make another flight soon, when, with further protection for the engine, he hopes to ascend ! 35, ,00O feet.

well, it's an accepted fact around
here that some unusually big trout for
this part of the country have been
taken from the Pebbly brook pool ;
and I've always put i.s of faith in
it." Hammond spoke rather louder
than his wont.
A young chap stood in the doorway.
At Hammond's words he came for
ward. II don't know how you heard
about it, for when 1 came away she
was lamenting that she had had no
one to talk it over with. but that must
be the very trout my sister caught to-
day. 1t weighs just an even two
pounds to the hair. don't know much
about fishing and care less, but Anne
is bugs over it,"
The group turned to him interested
ly, and Hammond asked him several
questions, but the boy seemed rather
bored by them, and gave very unsatis-
factory answers. I'D give good deal
to see that fish," exclaimed Hammond.
The boy frightened considerably.
"Say, I'll call Anne. up and introduce
you over the phone, and you can go
right down. She'll be tickled to pieces
to find one who's interested-and
then won't have to 60 home at 10. as
promised her."
"I'll take you up on that" replied
Hammond.
When Billy Crane did return that
evening it was considerably after 10,
but Trask Hammond and Billy's sister
were still porting over catalogues, try
ing to decide the best place to send
the trophy to be mounted. They had
already made date to fish Pebbly
brook together the next day, and over
hauled Anne's tackle and got it in
readiness for the trip, managing to be-
come very well acquainted in the
process. .--l
1t was a month later, one evening at
shutdown, when Anne stood again on
the bank of the Pebbly brook pool,
casting her bait under the lOw-hang-
ing branches of the big tree opposite,
and remarked to the man who was
standing close by watching her: ITS
foolish to try, l know; probably shall
never land two-pounder out of here
again. That was my lucky day"
The man spoke slowly, while the
brown swirling waters laughed down
over the stones: "That has been the
luckiest day in my life, so far. But
you can make today the very luckiest
ever if you wish"
The girl watched her curling line

Just below an arched stone bridge

a three-pounder was taken from its
waters.
1t is this tradition which every
year lures to the bank of the beautiful
pool ardent anglers who vainly hope
D that history will repeat itself.
Early on misty morning in April
a young man in mackinaw and soft
hat, carrying creel and slender bam-
boo rod, came down the highway to-
ward the pool. A gray roadster stood
on the bridge. = ~.~. t 49,.

was a slender, girlish figure, clad in

appeared on the bridge above and
stopped to watch. Carefully the girl
played her fish. AS the line shortened
there came a splash and the flash of
mighty tail.
Gee, but that must be whOpper! p
sang out the small boy excitedly. But
the girl was thinking hard. Not ex-
pecting anything like this, she had
neglected to bring a landing net.
The strain on the delicate rod was
increasing. 1t bent nearly double. She
did the only thing she could think of
in the emergency: walk backward and
literally dragged her catch up the
shelving shore. Fortunately he was

"Oh. golly!" exclaimed a voice close

New Mayor Shows Interest
in Possible Violations
of Sunday Laws.

Persons who desire that their names
appear on the monthly pay roll of the
City of Fairmont must remain on the
anxious seat yet awhile longer as no
action of any kind was taken this
morning at the first regular SESSION Of
the City Board of Affairs held in the
office of the Director Of Finance q. F.

when this matter is likely to be taken
up and passed upon by the Board
Only routine matters occupied the
attention Of the Board at the session
this morning. Mayor w. W. Conaway
presided at the meeting and City Clerk
Albert ]. Kern was in his accustomed
place as were the other newly elected
dirctors. Mr.. Conaway in the course
of the morning expressed himself as
not favorlng anything that tends to
break the Sabbath in any way and
was 10th to grant permits which would
provide loafnig places on the Sunday
for idlers and stragglers in the city.
This matter came up when some ap-
plicatiOns for running various places
of amusement came up for considera-
ton.
Each of the directors appeared to
be keen to get in touch with city af-
fairs and were amenable to sugges-
tions offered by those who had been
closely in touch with city affairs dur
ing past years.
The bond of 2. F. Davis as director
of Finance of the city of Fairmont
