 FIRST INTEREST IN FLYING
 had gotten interested in the flying game years back, when Ruth Law came here and drew such crowds to the fair grounds to see her marvellous perform ances, for at that time she was one of the few great trick artists in the aero nautic world. who not only coined money. but got great joy in her daily and nightly excursions in the air
 l exacted a promise from her that if she ever got a machine that would carry two passengers she would take me up with her. and when she left it was her intention to get such a flyer. And then the war came and she was lost in the shuffle and soon the biplanes began to literally flow from the shops and the flyers grew from bakers dozen to more than 15,00o in the Unit a States.
 had seen Montgomery from the skies as toy city, and the state capitol looked like a frosted ornament for a wedding cake, the Alabama river appeared as a stream I could jump across, while trees looked like potted plants, and corn fields were but well cut lawns. and the panorama for miles around resembled a great map on which was traced creeks roads, streets, farms, manufacturing plants and a perfect spider web of rail- road tracks. It was the most beautiful picture I had ever seen.
 I have crossed the ocean number of times. I have done much mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps, and stood on Pikes Peak. I have made a trip at high water down the Mississippi; have been through the Thousand Isles, and shot the rapids on the St. Lawrence, and I watched for hours Niagara as it rushed over the falls or bolidein the whirlpools below or raced through the narrows, but nothing I have ever done or seen equals the sensation or produced the feelings which came to me on my way through the air from Birmingham to Montgom- cry. It was glorious from the moment we rose out of the bosom of mother earth from the heart of the race track at the fair grounds until We got high above the city with it's familiar sky scrapers, churches, stores, hotels, plants and homes, until, like a great bird, we swept over Red mountain and headed south, leaving behind village after village and town after town, until the great white dome of the capitol came into view, and we glided gently into the anding field here at Montgomery

"Let every scamp and scoun- drel in Benedict Arnold's class know that he will have to put 5,OOO,O00 American soldiers n their graves before the destruc- ton of the government can be made by I w. WIS and bolshe- viki," was the sentiments ex pressed by Chaplain John W. Inzer, a member of the National executive committee, at the first state convention of world war veterans assembled in the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon with Col. Bibb Graves, state chairman presid- ing.
 At the business session yesterday ap- pointment of committees, the enrOll- ment of delegates and speech by Chaplain Inxer was followed by an automobile ride through the city with the Birmingham Automobile club as hosts and the evening was taken up by a dance at the country club in which Amercian Red Cross canteen workers, auxiliary societies, and the Birming- ham Post entertained the delegates to the state convention.
 Colonel Graves one of the pioneers in the formation of the American Legion in Alabama said in his welcome speech to the delegates, standing together 5000 900 strong there is no legitimate purpose we cannot put over and let's stick together leaving out the petty jealousies and let democracy reign su- preme, furthering the idea of cohesion and comradeship."
 FIRST ROLL CALL
 Nineteen counties answered to the roll call at the first meeting yester- day and today nearly every county in Alabama is expected to be represented o'clock. More than two hundred dele gates were present when Colonel Graves called the meeting to order.
 Assemblying at the Tutwiler hotel at one o'clock the delegates to the first state convention marched to the Jeffer- son theatre headed by the band of the Boys Industrial school which played several selections, among them being the Star Spangled Banner" and 'Dixie.'
 It was decided that the committee on resolutions and the one to draft the con- stitution for the first state legion should be composed of members from every delegation present. The resolution com mittee will receive all resolutions intno- duced in order to keep from having dup licate measures proposed. It is under stood that the local suffragists have for warded a resolution asking for a favor able consideration, the women's clubs have asked for a consideration of the movie censorship, and local members are drafting resolutions urging the govern ing bodies of the state and federal gov el lnment to 4 bass legislation which directly affects the soldiers.
 One of these in particular, which in all probability will be reported this morn- ing. will be one asking the present state legislature to make provisions for the payment of poll tax for soldiers who have been excluded from voting because of in

PRESIDENT BARR's COURTESY

Now, it was a nervy thing to ask, and It took a great amount of interest and good will for them to arrange it, as they had expected to keep the ship here another day for exhibition purposes. Then there was the further question of disappointing President Barr of Troy, who had made the flight to Birmingham from Montgomery, but when he learned the situation he most generously agreed to return by train.
 Now, a newspaper man is expected td be ready for all kinds of assignments, and to be resourceful enough to use all kinds of ways in getting from place to place. Frequently this is more impor- tant than knowing how to write in a flowing literary style, or to be the mas ter of pure journalese.
 Having had an exhibition flight in which l got my first taste of flying along with all of the thrills above a city, I was eager to make long cross- country trip and when the chance came to travel a hundred miles or more with out a stop I was as happy as a school boy.
 After I came down from my first ex- perience on Thursday afternoon when the good roads boosters were at Wright field, near Montgomery, my one thought was to try and figure out way to get to go up again. l had caught the fever, and I am sure that I had been in the volunteer age and the war was still on that I would have tried to get in the aviation corps.
 I got just a bite out of the air, but was ready to try and eat up the heavens, and I am sure that with my vivid inn agination I got a faint glimpse of the

Lively debate is expected to come with the proposal of each of these quss- tions.
 Colonel Graves recieved letter from the Boy Scouts addressed to the Legion stating the amount of war work they had accomplished, congratulating the former soldiers and requesting any or all of them to aid in the establishment of Scout troops.
 T. J. Crittenden of the Civic associa- ton extended an open house for the use of the club rooms in the Jefferson County Bank building to the visitors. saying that nothing was too good for the boys and that they should feel at home while guests of the Civic associa- tion.
 A hearty welcome to all friends. men and women, of the American Legion 70 attend the sessions of the legionnaires was extended yesterday by officials of the organizations.

When l was in Montgomery at the great gathering of the good roads boos- ters last week I promised Mrs. Jacobs that I would appear before the legisla- tive committee in behalf of the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 A telegram came from her asking me to be on hand Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, but an engagement kept me here Tuesday night and it seemed as if I would have to send my regrets.
 But I got to figuring around and down at the fairgrounds on Tuesday after noon I put the matter squarely up to Harper Johnson, who was in Birming ham with his brother in the interest of the Johnson-Curtiss Aeroplanes company to see if they wouldn't send me over the air route
