welcome Home Celebration
Plans May Be Changed
CONTINUED from page u

Pilot Zimmerman after flying over
the parts of the city he a not vitited
last Monday when he made his first
fight for the Welcome Home" fund,
resorted to some of the daring dips
and turns which had thrilled thou
sands earlier in the week, coming
within a few hundred feet of the
h~ouse-tops in the business section of
the city. The strong wind carried
many of the messages across the
Sound to ~Tottenville. and in Fords the
messages dropped by Lieut.. Garrett
son fell in a veritable deluge on the
houses.
Lieutenant Willis r. Taylor, assist
ant adjutant first provisional wing,
with Lieutenant William Voorhees,
Garretson, of this city. came over
Island, in one of the big government
machines and few over the city. They
arrived here about $3.50 o'cljck and
after doing some stunts over the city
for the benefit of thousands and scat
tering the handbills announcing the
celebration committees campaign for
funds, the two aviators landed at
Pfeiffer's farm on the Amboy-Me-
tuchen road. Lieutenant Garretson
piloted the machine over from Nine
ola as far as this city, where Lieu
tenant Taylor relieved him.
Forced to Land
They were delayed considerable in
making the trip over from Mineola
because of the high wind, the time
being about an hou when it should
have taken but twenty-five minutes.
In the return to Mineola they were
forced to make a landing on Staten
Island because of engine trouble. In
making the landing the big machine
the top of a large flagpole on
the Vanderbilt farm and carried part
of the pole away. 1t is said if it had
struck the pole further down the
machine would have been wrecked
and the occupants might have been
seriously hurt. They both escaped
being injured. After making repairs
the flight was continued on to Nine
ola.

that feeling Of strangeness and uncer-
tainty in reverting to their old inter-
ests and associations This will carry
according to the measure of their per-
sonal a~daptability.
Besides, it is the spring when we all,
discharged soldiers or not, feel some
h that way-a bit irked by the
daily task or duty, a bit on edge, a
bit suspicious that the times are out
OF joint and that all is not right with
the world, a bit inclined to believe
that we are mot like other girls"
and that those fine. true, sensitive ma
lures of ours are strongly m%lsunder-
stood.
So my correspondent, in diagnosing
his case, wants to discount both these
disturbing factors. AS for his bad
habit Of obviously analyzing people
while talking to them, that is only an
other manifestation of the cynical turn
of MIND to which he used to give eX-
preston in sarcastic comment. IL he
could conquer it in n instance, he
certainly ought to be able to in an
other.
Or, Il he must analyze, let him train
himself to look only for the good points
or MS acquaintances, rather than those
which are repellant or ridiculous, No
one will be offended at seeing his face
light up with appreciation and pleasure
as he talks to them.
And. as l say, we all have an attack
of doddrums now and then, especially
in the spring-an idea that life to us
is a little shy Of interest. The lest
cure that | know is to pitch in and
do something with all your might.
The world is SO constituted that there
is hardly anything we can 10 alone.
Other people are always brought in at
some stage or another. And it is cut
of the mutual interests, mutual $3.50
Citations and mutual aims Of a common
TASK that friendships are formed.
