Girls " Just
Wild'' Over
Flying
The "Blue Bird" Piloted
BY Aviator Brooks,
Gives Omaha Fans
a Thrill.

When the "Blue Bird" winged its
way into the Heavens Friday eve
ming it carried Virginia Ostenberg,
the Youngest Omaha girl who has
yet flown. With. w. c. Brooks as
pilot she had no fears and was all
on tiptoes for the start, and literally
this young aviator is still "up in the
air." for her only exclamation is
wonderful" when she is questioned.
She scared over our fair city and
tells us frankly that you must view
Omaha from high altitude to real
" appreciate its beauties. Away
over the Happy Hollow golf links
she few and the fans who pursue
the elusive white ball were mere
speckS" Imagine! Calling a golf
champion a speck! Such are our
flights" of fancy when we go air
planning!
Virginia. who boasts of only IS
summers, has almost decided to
make aeronautics her vocation so
enthusiastic is she over her trip into
the blue. She recognized all the ia
miliar land marks of Dundee and
didn't lose "the place" even though
she was literally treading the Milky
Way.
Seven flights were made during
the course of the evening and many
Omahans who were eager for air
thrills were disappointed, for others
took their places. Everyone is so in
love with this new and fascinating
sport that there is no doubt Miss
Debutante will be driving her own
plane within a short time, its mauve
and blue trimmings just harmonic
sing with her gown. Even the society
scribe has visions for her magma
ton i. soaring through space. Air
plane parties! What could be more
unique, stopping for luncheon at
some wayside inn, or perhaps an
evening "fly." Even a jazz band
and the allurements of country
club will fade into insignificance
when the guests may travel straight
to the moon. The Blue Bird" will
make the next fight Sunday eve
ming from the field on West Dodge
street, and for those who long for a
closer acquaintance with Mars, all
abroard!'

ated Iron as means for creating red blood
strength and endurance, DR.. Ferdinand
King. New York Physician and Medical
Author says:
Scarcely a day goes by but that I see
women whose careworn faces, dragging
steps and generally weak, tired appearance
show unmistabable signs of that anaemic,
rundown condition usually brought on by
lack of iron in the blood.
There can be no strong, healthy, peauti-
full women without iron and inasmuch as
refining processes and modern cooking
methods remove the iron OF Mother Earth
from so many of our most common foods
this iron deficiency should be supplied by
using some form Of organic iron Just as we
use salt when our food has not enough salt
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living tissue

PROBLEM OF SMALL NATIONS.

The puzzle is how far all the nations
represented at the congress shall be al
lowed to take part in the debates and
what weight shall he given 70 the votes
Of the various delegates. VIII the dele
gates Of Cuba and Siam have the right
10 vote on the dclimltation Of the ter
ntory Of the Czecho-Siovak republic or
the boundaries Of greater Ruma MIA?
The present tendency Is for the FIVE great
powers to discuss the various problems
III the So-called supreme council and then
present the decision arrived at for the
approval or dIsapproval of the plenary
congress. But it will be asked must
the plenary sittings Of the congress APP
prove or reject 'en bloc. or viii they
be allowed to go over the decisions come
to clause by clause and paragraph by
paragraph? As the total delegates of the
small powers can outyote the total
delegates Of the great powers. the door
is at once opened to all kinds of combina-
tlons and intrigues.
If the smaller powers adopt the principle
of you scratch my back and II scratch
yours, the whole of the preliminary
spade work done BY the supreme council
may be nullified, and we may have the
spectacle of China, Cuba, Brazil, Siam
and Liberia blocking the decisions re-
garding Poland or Jugoslavia until some
OF their private interests have been
satisfied Or are the delegates of the
smaller powers to be called into the
plenary meetings merely to hear their fate
read out to them and to be shown where
they afiX their signatures to the protocol?

THE FAULT OF MAN.

Seems to me there's beauty here in all
things if we'll find it.
No cloud goes drifting cross the sky but
has the sun behind IL.
The Lord amt making uglness To mar
His marvellous plan;
When something spoils the landscape
here, the works been done by man
Since Eve and Adam first went wrong
and told themselves they knew
Much better than did God himself Just
what they ought 10 do,
The human race has kept right on in that
bull-headed way.
Quitting the paths that God mapped out
and wandering astray.
In one way or another VIC are Ewes and
Adams still;
We pile up debts Of vain regrets and sadly
pay the bill;
We listen to the serpent's words They're
easy to believed
And then we wonder, when we've sinned.
why we were born To grieye.
Don't think I'm preaching to YOU now;
I'm noticing fact.
What mars the beauty of the world liz
how the mortals act.
God made this earth garden spot, but
since the race began
I'm forced to say it hasn't had the best
Of care from man.
