New York.-Lieut Omar Lock-
lear. who has thrilled thousands
of spectators by leaping from one air.
plane speeding through the air at
eighty miles an hour to another travel
ing at similar speed. and by doing
stunts while hanging from the planes
axle by his knees, thinks no more dam
geI attends mis- performances than
would be encountered slipping tea at
summer resort hotel.
Lieut.. Locklear is now seeking back
ing by Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels for a proposal he has made
that he attempt a cross-Atlantic flight
in an airplane carrying only one
other man.
His theory that a plane could be
manipulated by the pilot while a man
stood on the wing was secuted by ex-
perts-but he proved his theory by
actually climbing out on the wing.
His demonstration was of value not
because OF its success as an acrobatic
stunt, but through the introduction of
a new means of fighting an enemy, as
a man on a planes wing would have
a much wider range of vision and fir
ing direction.
Lieut.. Locklear is q years old, was
born in Fort Worth. Texas, and stu
died mechanical engineering in the
University of Texas before aviation
claimed his attention. He is consider
ed one of the best pilots in the world.
Not a Daredevil
Most people say I'm a daredevil" I"
said Lieut.. Locklear. I'm not. I'm
the most conservative pilot 1 know.
II conceived the idea of mount
ing guns on the wings of planes
and having an airman fire them in
actual fighting from studying the
methods of air lighting. Aerial
combat is succession of man
euvers. in which the more adept
pilot shoots down his less skillful
rival. With a gun mounted for
ward the pilot is handicapped be-
cause of his limited power of de-
iection. With guns on the wings
however, one could sweep the entire
circumference of a circle and do
Infinitely more damage to an enemy
than under the present methods of
lighting.
1 have demonstrated the fact that
1t is possible for the pilot to man
euver the plane while 7 am out
there. With planes specially con-
structed. it would be quite possible
to have a man work the gun while
the plane maneuvered for position.
There is another thing that cannot
be overestimated, and that is the
possibility of extinguishing fire on
the wings. Many climb out and
fight the fire.
Depends on Motors.
'Leaping from one plane to another
is easy enough If the motors of the
planes function properly. As a mat
ter of fact, 1t is easier to drop from
one plane to another than to swing
onto rope ladder. as am doing now.
The reason / changed the method of
shifting from one plane to another

Married Anyway

One of the most unusual Of the
many June weddings took place
last Sunday a week ago, when Miss
era ce E. Webber, daughter Of Rep
res entative Oscar M. Webber, Of
Yarrow, was united in marriage to
Mr.. Harry Prentice. 1t seems that
the wedding day had been set for
the fifteenth day of June. On the
day before, the prospective bride
felt rather badly but the nature of
her illness was not determined
When the wedding daySdawned it
was discovered that the bride was
quite i'll with smallpox. Now
ev eryone knows that the old super.
stition says that "once date has
been set for wedding il is bad
luck to postpone it" therefore q very
uniqGe wedding resulted.
When the guests and the otficiat
ing minister, Rev. Houshton, arriv.
ed at the Webber home, they were
obliged to remain on the outside of
the house The bride stood at the
" indow and the groom remained
abo ut 20 feet on the other side. In
this way they were married in the
pres ence of their friends and rela-
tives.
The bride belongs to a prominent
family in Yarrow. She has attend.
ed the Teachers College here and
has many friends. She is a men,
Der of the Keokuk Camp fire.
The groom is a young farmer
When his wife RECEIVERS they will

Prentice is getting along nicely.

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandrufe

There is one sure way that never fails
TO remove dandruf completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
'irely. To do. this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon:
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
IN gently with the finger tips
by morning. most if not all, OF your
dondruff will be gone and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter how much
slandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky, and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces Is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been kupwa IA fsil.
