Eastern Flights
Thrilling Adventures
Of a British Aviator

EASTERN N1GHTs-~AND FLIGHTS. BY
Cnptniu Alan lio,t. Doubleday PHge Il
Co., New York.
Out of ne mythical birthplace Of
humanity there comes to us modern
tale of Imprisonment, intrigue and ad-
venture that rivals "Alif laila wa laila"
the famous Arabian Nights, in its
phantasy.
1t is the story Of the Orient in the
throes Of the World War, revealed to US
through Occidental eyes. A story that
paints in vivid colors the contrasts Of
glamour, romance, poverty, corrupti-
bility and unccanliness that form the
framework upon which Oriental life is
Luilt.
To Captain Alan Bott, late of His
Britannia Majestys Air Force, has fall
en- the task of portraying the kaleido-
scopic drama Of the worlds holy places
under war conditions. How we'll he has
achieved his purpose perusal of his
enchanting. work will reveal.
He gives to us pen pictur, Of Con-
stantinople in the last year of the war.
1t is a picture of espionage, intrigue,
daring adventure and hairbrcadth
escape, dclicately woven with interest
ing detail. In it he paints a picture so
enhancing as to rival any that came
out Of the courts of Haroun-al Ras-
child. Yet his story is one Of facts.
1t opens with the brilliantly con-
ceived and executed operations of Gen
cral Allenby in Palestine, in which the
author took part as a member Of the
flying corps. He describes his last
aerial fight in thrilling detail. He

German pursuit planes while he was
chasing Rumpler observation ma
chine. How he was brought down in
flames, and landed onto a rock COM
pletely smashing his machine, and incl
dentally getting tangled up in the
wreckagc himself.
Then begins che tale of his remark
able adventures, that take him clear
across Syria to the Cicilian gates;
thence by painful stages to Constan-
tinople, and finally to freedom after
desperate efforts.
No detail OF the remarkable condi-
tions that existed back of the Turkish
lines is omitted from Captain Bott s
work He describes every thing as he
found it, without mincing words, but
he does it without maudlin sentiment.
In his chapter "The Berlin Bagdad
Railway-and the Aeroplanes That
Never Flew" he describes the devoted
work of the British Tommy prisoners
in the hands of the Turks. How they
took advantage of every opportunity
that came their way to perform the
work of sabotage.
But it is his description of life III
the Turkish capital that is the most
enchanting section Of his book: He
tells the story Of Captain Yeats Brown,
who, garbed in female clothes, went
about the streets of Constantinople
for weeks as Mile Josephine Albert,
spreading propaganda. How Miss
Whittaker-the Edith Cavell of Con-
stantinople braved death TO aid pris
oners to escape.
His own escape came at the eleventh
hour Of his hopes, just as the last
possible opportunity was about to pass
forever away from him The story Of
what followed is one Of thrilling adj
venture under almost impossible con-
ditions. 1t is p story that will leave
profonnd impression upon The mind
of the reader. j. Is.

With the Wits
Mr.. More S Scholarship
Obscured by Pcdantry

WITH TIE WITS. BY Paul Elmer More
The Houghton Mimlin Company New
York and Boston.
Paul Elmer More, formerly editor OF
"Thc Nation,' is a gentleman and 8
scholar, and it's a great pity. Mr.
More's scholarship we may excuse and
even commend, but his gentility is
cause for sorrow. For Mr. More, ap-
parently genial and entertaining
soul. is so restrained in his style that
the splendid material in his latest col
lection Of "Shelburnc Essays s"-this is
the tenth voinme-loscs much of its
inherent vitality.
Perhaps the aoofness of Mr. More's
book may be charged to the remoteness
OF his sub ects, for he discourses of
Beaumont and Fletcher, Pope, Swift
and other seventeenth and eighteenth
century writer's including the fascinat-
ing Mrs. Aphra Behn, who was to the
theater Of her day what the Hattons
are to ours. However, rather un-
sympathetic sermon on the "decadent
wit" of the naughty '90s indicates
that Mr..More writes like a gentleman
no matter how diverting his theme, and
the shortcomings Of the volume seem
to be due rather to the authors fear
of seeming undignified than to any
lack of appeal in his topics.
Mr.. More's views on the assorted
writer's whom he discusses, are sound
and sane on the whole, but we wish
that he could drop the pen and take to
the typewriter man who knows as
much as Mir. More tells of Beaumont
and Fletcher should be able to make
the Elizabcthan Marcin and Shipman
something more than lay figures for
pedagogic dissection. He is alive to
the modernity Of Pope as delight
fully malicious satirist, but he en-
balms his feelings in such floods of
post graduate prose as the following
THE presentation of this truth may
IN Pope be narrowed to a particular
manner and time.. it may assume ig-
noble images and speak too often in
leprchensible language. nevertheless
he who does not respond 10 the deep
emotion e. and humanity underlying the
Satires has travelled but q short way
in the realm OF letters; he has even,
/ dare assert, but a little of the great
realities of mans life"
We quarrel with Mr.. More because
he dares assert when he might Just
as we'll assert and because he fails to
fulfill a worthy mission. Were he
so inclined he might make many Eng
lish classics attractive to modern
readers. With his scholarship and un-
derstanding he might create a new
interest IN old writer's among readers
who otherwise would desire nothing
older than Wells or Bennett Bat
Among the Wits seems to be written
primarily for academicians who ARE
competent to exhumo Pope and Bishor
Berkeley for Themselves.

We have fifty rural schools that fail
ed to report as asked to do and few
other schools.
We think this a good showing for
some townships and schools and an ex-
cellent showing in others.
One great good is coming out of this
saving-our boys and girls are learn
ing to save and to invest this savings
where it will bring interest,
Our government is asking the
schools to encourage our children to
save and buy stamps this year the
same as last year. If all parents and
teachers could realize the great value
!of this habit more would take an in
terest and encourage their children to
earn and save and invest in these
stamps.
The spelling test we sent out did not
prove to be as good as it should be.
The broken months this fall gave little
opportunity to get pupils ready for the
test.
Averages for grades in cities: 2,
"a per cent; 3, "a; 4, 9S; 5, SO; 6, 100;
7, 100; s, 81.
Averages in towns in county: I'd,
grade. SO; 8, 80; 4, SS; 5, 80; 6, 81; T.,
SS; 9, SO.
Averages for rural schools: I'd grade,
6S; 3, S4; 4, 95; 5, 81; 6, "a; 7, SO; 8,
SO.
Twenty words were given in each
of the grades from the first to the
eighth inclusive.
The October examinations that were
sent to all of the rural schools could
not be given as we wished on account
of so many schools being closed.
The January tests will be sent to all
schools some time soon.
The regular teachers examination
will be held January goth, 30th and 31st
The regular normal training exam
nations will be held the third week of
January.
The rural and town children are col
lecting old clothing for the Armenian
relief. This is a part of the Junior

GREAT
NERVE tonic
Mrs. MiIIie Ryan, Formerly Of Vail,
but Now of Omaha, Tells of
Thrilling Experience
WAS UP IN THE AIR 1000 FEET
Says There is No Better Nerve Tonic
in the World Than Flying
Advises Trial

| Many OF the Review readers Of Vail
and in Denison will read with interest
the following, written by Mrs, Millie
Ryan, from Los Angeles, to the Oma-
ha World Herald:
Mrs. Millie Ryan, we'll known Oma-
ha vocal instructor, who is taking her
| first winter vacation in sixteen years
| in Los Angeles, became so interested
in aviation after being invited to vel
come the aviators going from Rock
we'll field to San Francisco to map out
the new mail route that she decided
to try it herself.
Accordingly, the opportunity was
given her. and she was taken up
over Santa Monica in Martin plane
of 25O horse power. and over the
ocean, going up 1000 feet the first
time. Since that trip she has taken
several trips and writes of her ex-
periences as follows:
Il can not describe to you how
wonderful it looks to see the air full
of planes When they are flying high
they can not be distinguished from the
many sea gulls flying over the ocean
and around the beach here.
"A week ago Saturday we welcomed
the aviators on their return from San
Francisco on their way to San Diego.
Captain Stockwell said they made
record trip. My! what wonderful
motors and planes these army await
ors have to fly in. If l ever get rich
my first investment will be an air
plane. I became so interested in the
flying that l decided | would try 1t
myself.
81 did and now I am convinced that
there is not a better nerve tonic in
the world. l don't think the danger
is near as great in an airplane as in
an automobile. l have never learned
to run my own car through fear, yet.
do not experience the slightest fear
four or five thousand feet in the air.
During the first 200 feet going up
there is little motion, but after you
get above 500 or 1000 feet i can only
describe the s1noothness in likenins
it to swan gliding on the water. You
hear the engine, but don't feel the
lightest movement. You just soar.
You do wonderful spirals and only when
you dip the nose of the plane suddenly
can you feel any motion.
while one is learning to handle a
plane or in trouble, it would be easy to
keep ones head, but flying a distance
with everything favorable and being
an expert in handling the plane, think
one might fall into this strange quiet
ing condition I experienced which is
almost like dreaming. 1t is sort of
feeling I don't care if l ever come
down
81 have taken nerve tonics and rest
cures for nervous breakdowns after a
long hard seasons work, but have new
er found anything so restful and yet
so stimulating. For nervous people IS
would suggest spending month or
two here in the aviation field and |
will guarantee no more nerves."
Mrs. Ryan returns to Omaha to open
her studio about April 1st.

GOLDEN WEDDING

Fifty years ago Tuesday, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Richardson, of this city,.
were married. Their children had
planned a celebration of the event at
their parents home but bad weather
and sickness forced them to alter
their plans. Charley of Vail, was the
only one to spend the day with his
parents.
J. A. Richardson was born in Eng
land, Feb 26, 1888. and came to Amer
ica when lad of 9, his parents set
tling at COmmanche, Iowa.
Mrs. Richardson was born in Eng
land in 1910 and came with her par
ents to the United States when three
years of age They were married at
Dewitt, Iowa, and some time after
they came to Vail. There they resid-
ed on farm owned by Tom Clement
for q years and on another for 10
years and then moved to Odebolt.
Eight children are living in this vi
cinity, they are Mrs. Ida Dixon, Char
ley and Mrs. Ada Novotne, of Vail;
Mrs. Maude Anderson, of Deloit; Mrs,
Gertie Braska. of Denison; Mrs. Clara
Fortson, of Elberton, Ga; Mrs. Nellie
Clausen, of Shaller, and John B., Of
Clarinda. besides twenty grandchil-
dren and three great grandchildren.
A beautiful brooch was given to
Mrs. Richards son and a heavy gold
watch chain to Mr. Richardson, both
solid gold, by the children as remin-
der of the occasion.
Probably no two persons in Craw.
ford or Sac county are better known
than Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson. They
hold the respect of all regardless of
age The latch string is always out
at their home to their friends. The
News congratulates this worthy cou-
pie and hopes that they may enjoy
many years yet in their cozy home

BErHEL.GOIN DIES
AT PRIMGHAR
Angel of Death Enters Home of Mrs.
Eva 3. Coin and Claims Miss
Bethel, Second Daughter
DEATH MouRNED. BY MANY
Deceased Was Born in Charter Oak
on Jan. 20, 1397-Was An
Ambitious Young Lady

CHARTER OAK. Jan. 2O-(Special
to the Review)-The angel of death
entered the home of Mrs. Eva B. Coin
at Primghar on Saturday, January
11t!l, and claimed Bethel, the second
daughter of the household.
Bethel was born in Charter Oak,
Jan. 23, 1897. She attended the pub
lie schools and graduated with honors
with the class of 1913. She entered
the State Normal school of South Da-
kota and completed her course at
Drake university. In the fall of 1917
she accepted position in the New
Albin public schools. While here an
illness came upon her that baffled the
skill of the best physicians obtain
able. She returned to her home and
for. weeks her life hung in the bal
ance but with the same indomitable
will that characterized the struggle
of her father, the late G. B. Coin, she
fought to live and she won. In July
she was taken to the Mayo clinic at
Rochester. Here she realized her NAL
ady was incurabe, but she set goal
for herself-she would live to see her
big doctor brother in France whose
return she anticipated this spring.
Since that time she seemed to I'M
prove until Friday morning when she
Saturday evening.
Bethel Coin was an ambitious girl,
endowed with brilliant mind. She
was a great reader and careful
thinker and her prospects in der chos-
en- work were unusually bright. She
was conscientious christian girl with
la character pure and unsullied. She
was baptized and confirmed in the
Episcopal church but she did the
work her hands found to do regardless
of creed. A popular member of the
younger set, she enjoyed the pleasures
of youth but when fate decreed she
must relinquisil these pleasures she
accepted the decree without mur-
mur: her sweet and cheerful submis-
siveness to the inevitable has been an
inspiration to those who knew her. In
times of greatest pain with sunny
smile she spoke words Of assurance
to the loved ones who ministered to
her.
Last summer the Coin home was
moved to Primghar and in the new
environment while making new
friends she spent the last happy, con-
tended months of her life.
Bethel is gone and many mourn her
departure-but she is at peace and
those left have the beautiful memory
of a noble, unseltish girl whose short
life was filled with good deeds.
She leaves her mother, five broth
ers and three sisters: DR.. Lowell S.,
X-ray specialist, A. E. F.. France;
Fac. teaching in Fort Dodge; Mildred,
at Spencer: Neil, Helen, Robert, DON
aid and Ward at home.
Services We're held in the First NJ.
e. church at Chatrer Oak Wednes-
day afternoon and the little pain
racked body laid beside her beloved
father. Services at the grave were
in charge of the Eastern Stars, of
which order she was loyal member.
The sympathy of hosts of friends
goes out to the grief stricken family
in their loss.
