YOUNG FELLOW WITH NERVE

George Hardy, young fellow Of
perhaps 20 years, who came here
months ago and has been working
with ]. Albert Hathett, volunteered
for the aviation service, under Re-
cruiting officer C.M. Pointer, was the
first Henderson countian to take a
ride in an air ship, leaving Lexington
Wednesday morning for Park Field,
Millingtcn, in company with Lieu
tenant Stewart, who came to our
town last Tuesday afternoon. Lieu
tenant Stewart made a flight over
Lexington Tuesday afternoon, accom-
panied by Sergeant Pointer, but con-
ditions were not favorable for per-
Torrance of the promised stunts,
were deferred until his ascension
Wednesday morning before departure
for Park Field.
Lieutenant Stewart is himself but
about q years old and in the person
Of George Hardy he encountered an
other "nervy" and daring spirit. We
are told that government officials,
postmasters for instance. are permit
ted to take these flights in govern
ment air planes, but our local man,
Postmaster Barnett, showed no han
kering to yet rise above this mundane
sphere.

CONGRESS- PASSES
 SUFFRAGE MEASURE
SENATE APPROVES SUSAN 8. AN. THONY MEASURE PERMITTING
 WOMEN TO VOTE.

Washington. - Action by Congress on equal suffrage-subject of fight of 40 years-ended in adoption by the Senate by vote of 56 to 25 of the historic Susan B. Anthony con. stitutional resolution
 The proposed amendment, adopted by the House by vote of BOA to s9 May 21, as the first act of the new Congress. now goes to the states. Ratification by legislatures of three. fourths of the states is necessary to make it effective.
 The roll call showed two votes more than the necessary two-thirds for the resolution which was drafted by Susan B. Anthony in 1875 and ln- troduced by Senator Sargent of Cali fornia in 1878. Counting paired and absent members the Senate actually stood 66 to 30 for the measure.
 Loud applause. unchecked by the presiding officer. swept the Senate chamber when the final vote was announced following two days oe-

 Immediately after the Senate vote the resolution was taken to Speaker Gillett's office and signed. It was rushed back to the Senate for lea presiding officers signature. but ar. rived after the Senate had adjourn ed and approved later.

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades in . Gasoline Sleigh Was . Distinct
 Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently made across the Cascades in a motor sleigh. and number of photographs, taken at various stages of the Journey, are reproduced in Popular Mechan- ics. The achievement of the motor sleigh was almost us amazing as that of the first army tank, conquering, as it did, all kinds of obstacles. Skimming the surface of snowfGlls, old or new, the strange little vehicle broke it's way through primeval passes with never \ stumble. The rescue of an automobile. hopelessly stalled in the drifts of Sno- qualmie pass, was mere incident in it's progress. Crossing a deep gully on pair of hemlock poles was but one of the days adventures. The intended substitution of the motor sleigh for the dog drawn sledges of Alaska's snow- bound post trails means more to the people of that great territory than may be generally realized. Jack London and others have limned the malemute as a romantic figure; but the followers of the trail know we'll he Is never that. It Is the elimination of much human hard ship, as we'll as canine inefiiciency, that recommends the gasoline method.
