START
FOR ROCKAWAY
AT $50 TODAY
Long Flight From Local Station
to Be Completed in Two and
a Half Days If Plans Are
Fulfilled.

Expecting to complete flight to Rock
away, Long Island, in two and a half
days, distance of approximately
$500 miles, Lieutenant Webster Wright
and Lambert Hewitt will hop-off from
the Naval Air station this morning at
$3.50 o'clock, it was announced last
night by Lieut.. Wright. Fair weather
conditions are promised.
From a point in the vicinity of
Cedar Keys the flyers in two H-16A
flying boats will proceed across coun-
try a distance of about 120 miles. to
Jacksonville. They will spend the
first night at Brunswick. Ca, the sec
ond at Hampton Roads and arrive at
Rockaway Wednesday at noon. A
water course will be followed all the
way up the coast from Jacksonville,
as we'll as from Pensacola to the vi
cinity of Cedar Keys.
Lieut. Wright Is TO be in charge OF
the expedition and will pilot one OF
the boats with Machinist NJ. P. Cook
as assistant pilot. Lieut.. Hewitt will
be chief pilot of the second boat and
will be assisted by Ensign Burr Chase
A crew of mechanicians will be as
signed to each boat
Lieut.. Wright admits that wind and
weather will have much to do with
the success of the expedition, but as
serts that, although the distance is
nearly the same as from New York to
Liverpool, he will have no trouble
in making it if the weather is favor
able.
The H-16A boats are two-Liberty
motored and are the largest used at
the local air station. Many hops to
New Orleans and Mobile have been
made, it being nothing unusual for
pilots to make the round trip in an
afternoon. Last spring a number #
the les flew to Cuba and manouevcr-
ed with the fleet in annual practice
Probably the most severe test on the
present flight will come when the 12o
miles overland flight across Floridl IS
made, because any failure of motor or
plane would mean a forced. and prcb-
ably fatal landing In the woods or
swamps.

CHAPTER II.
Abduction.

The hacienda where Antonio de la
Guerra had lived for the fifty-odd
years of his exile from his beloved
Spain. where his granddaughter had
been born and reared, was one Of the
landmarks which linger on in stately
white walls under dark red tiles from
the time Of the Spanish occupation.
The old Spaniard was overload Of
what had once been a grant from his
grandfather's king, the boundaries
carelessly marked In leagues instead
of miles.
He bred cattle and fine horses, In

The wide-verandaed house with none
of its walls less than three feet thick,
with great, spacious rooms, spread
out across n wide extent of the shaded
pepper trees. In the time Of the ia
ther Of Antonio de la Guerra there
had been fourteen rooms-now there
were twenty. No less could suffice
for the master of the estate and his
cherished granddaughter.
There was the patio with Its flower.

About 1t were the rooms, all on the
ground floor with the exception of the
three rooms added by the old man for
the use Of la senorita.

winding staircase had been constructed

a lavish display of gilt under the

each night Pedro lay across his mis-
tress' doorway.
And then the balcony.

tily to step out through the deep win

through the moonlight night, and the
old man, leaving Pedro to close the
door after him, had gone back to his
chair and wine and cigarettes.

went upon his errand.
Senior don Antonio de In Guerra,
pushing the will to one side. drew a
thick manuscript from the table

Organizations, including churches,
oranges. lodges, etc, Joined this health
service by paying small fee and their
members are thereupon cared for by
the hospital medical staff free, In ad-
dition to the other care which they
get through the dispensaries. The
service is managed by board con-
sisting of representatives of these va
rious organizations.
Even In states where such COM
plete health organization is not pos
sible, at least rural public health nurs-
ing may be begun, and the national
organization for public health nursing
is urging country communities to uh-
dertake this work. In q number OF
states, legislation has already been
passed allowing county officials to em-
ploy public health nurses for the bene-
fit of the people. If there is no legis-
lation of this kind, group of farm
men and women can at least raise
funds among themselves for such q
nurse. Her salary will be saved in the
disease which she prevents. The suf-
fering which she helps assuage is be-
yond estimation.
The national organization, whose Of
fees are Mt 1856 Fifth avenue. New
York. is helping farm communities to
make surveys of what public health
nursing they need, and to secure nurses
after funds have been raised.
Miss ella Phillips Crandall, has serv-
ed as the executive secretary of the
national organization for public health
nursing since Its formation In Chicago
In 1912.
During the war Miss Crandall, loan
ed by the national organization, acted
as the executive secretary of the nurs-
Ing committees of the council of na-
tIonal defense. She has now returned
to her work In New York, and Is d.
recting the campaign to raise large
scholarship fund to enable nurses re-
turning from war work to take courses
in public health nursing and enter at
once this new field of service. Miss
Crnndall was at one time on the staff
of teachers college of Columbia uni
versity, and Is still special lecturer In
the department Of nursing and health.
The national organization for public
health nursing was formed for the
work, providing courses for the train
Ing of public health nurses, and serv-
ing as central bureau of advice and
information.
Public health nursing. according to
Miss Crandall, has been given a great
impetus by the war. 1.-THE public
health nurse stands for the socializa.
