It was an odd thing to he telling

that interfere with her telling powers
She was switchboard operator In the

urday nights before she had heard
little voice over the wire say:
"Please tell me a story. Miss Tele-
phone Girl. There Is nobody to tell
Sonny Boy stories on Saturday nights
when daddy isn't here"
It was the appeal In the little voice
that got around Loretta's heart strings.
80 she started In telling him the stories
she had told her own brother when he
was that small-the brother that was
now overseas fighting for his country.
Interruptions were many. but Sonny
Boy did not seem to mind them.
"Please tell me more" he would say
when she finished one story, 10 soon
Loretta had to resort tn her imag'na'

by accident that he got her connection
the first night. but she arranged with
the central operators to put him on
her line when he asked for the Story
Lady. That was the name she told him
to call her.
Once when her voice had grown
tired Loretta asked Sonny Boy some
thing about himself.

BUILDS GREAT PLANE
TO CROSS ATLANTIC
Caproni Has Almost Completed
Gigantic Airship to Be Called
White Eagle.

Gianni Caproni has almost finished
the gigantic airship In which he in
tends to fly from Italy to America. 1t
Is colossal tri-plane equipped with
FIVE motors of 5000 horse power each,
and large cabin furnished with
everything to make the voyage COM
Portable for several passengers who
can be accommodated.
Caproni will call his new plane the
White Eagle. The name Is linked to
a strange prophecy published in Rome,
Italy, in 1916, which is attributed to an
English monk of the seventeenth CEN
fury. The prophecy asserted that in
the twentieth century there would be
great world war, started by the diabol-
ical cleverness of an emperor of the
country Of Martin Luther in alliance
with another emperor. both bearing on
their military uniforms and on their
national escutcheons two black eagles.
1t added that civilization would defeat
and throw out the barbarians, whose
empires would be divided into %
states.
1t is inferred that the White Eagle
is intended to typify the American
bird.
The poet w. Lewis has made the
event the subject of poem which has
been set to music. The whole was
presented with beautiful allegorical
design to President Wilson when he
was in Milan. 1t was as result of
his admiration of the poem and
the design so artistically suggestive
that Caproni decided on the name Of
White Eagle for his new and gigantic
plane.
1t is asserted that the aviators who
will make the trip intend to follow the
route of Columbus across the sea.
They will fly from Italy to Cadiz,
thence to the Azores and from Azores
to the American coast, alighting In the
of Washington.

Hundred and Thirteenth Regiment,

out of existence yesterday afternoon.
With the passing out of his regi-
ment there came to Colonel Sweezey
the good news from the War De
partment that he is to be assigned to
Camp Meade. This is an assignment
which the Colonel desired more than
anything else, for it keeps him close
to Baltimore, which he insists is the
greatest city in the world.
There is still cne company at
Camp Meade-Company C-the rec
ords of which were lost. These rec
ords have been found again, howev-
er, and hard work by the clerical
staff at camp headquarters yesterday
afternoon and last night brought
them up to date, and the men of Co.
C will receive their discharges this
morning.
But. although these men are still
at camp, the regiment as unit dis
appeared with the discharge yester-
day afternoon Gf the headquarters
stan. Just before the headquarters
staff were handed their red chevrons
members of the headquarters and
supply companies we're released from
service and had started to Baltimore.
The parting gift to Colonel Swee-
zey from the men he led so gallant

to the Colonel. The officers and men
of the regiment had done everything 6
to keep any hint of the gift from
reaching their leader and they had

that love and admiration for their

their arrival at Meade and which not
only continued, but grew stronger
through the battles of France and
the long wait for the return home.
