<Pizarro appeared on the coast of Peru. She received his men kindly and expressed a desire to see their leader. PiZarro came, and an attach ment soon sprang up between them. Pizarro endeavored to convert Cap illana to Christianity, but failed. It was while studying the Spanish lan- guage, however, that she became Christian. On the death of Pizarro, in 1541, she again sought seclusion. In the library of the Dominicans of Peru there is preserved a manuscript in which are painted, by Capillana, an- cient Peruvian monuments, with short historical explanation in Span ish.

STAKE OUT AERIAL ROUTE.
Kansas City Asked to Be Included
in International Derby.

An aerial derby around the world,
open to tliers from all countries who
will compete for prizes OF more
than million dollars. That is the
proposal presented last night to
joint committee from the Chamber
of Commerce and the Kansas City
Aero Club by the special commits
sion appointed by the Aero Club of
America and the Aerial League of
America, which came here from
Omaha. The commission is on it's
way around the world to explain
the purpose of the derby and en-
list international interest, as well
as choose the rout for the aviators.
The Kansas City representatives
were asked if they desired the route
to include this city. They said
yes and were told that three Off
cial referees would be appointed
from here as well as a representa-
tive who would attend a meeting in
New York at which plans for the
aerial classic would be worked out.
1t is planned to hold the round
the world derby some time in 1920
Already about sixty entries have
been received Several hundred
aviatOrs from many countries are
expected to contest. The number
may be in the thousands, commits
sion members say, depending on
the degrees of enthusiasm with
which the nlan is received.
The idea behind the aerial derby
is to promote aviation. Municipali-
ties will be encouraged to lay out
adequate landing fields.
Members of the visiting commits
sion are Commodore Louis D. Beau
mont, president of the special COM
mission to organize the first aerial
! derby around the world; Mai.
! Charles J. Glidden, of Glidden Tour
fame, executive secretary; and Ben
jamin Hillman. Travelling with the
commission as guests on the pri-
vate car Philadelphia are, Alan r.
Hawley, president of the Aero Club
OF America Henry WOodhOuse,
vice-president of the Aerial League
of America; Sidney B. Veit, honor
ary secretary, fereign service com.
mittee, Aero Club of America, liv-
ing in France; Harmon s. August,
Aero Club of America; Lieut.. Col.
s. Herbert Mapes,. deputy chief,
Aerial Police Force of New York
City, and Mark Ovenden, special
transcontainental representative Of
the commission.
The members left New York Oc.
tober 10 and visited Rochester, Buf-
falo, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapol-
is and Omaha before coming to
Kansas City. They will leave at 10
o'clock for Denver and will 60 from
there to Seattle, San Diego, Los

this time The cities which can Of
fer the best inducement in the way
of landing fields, 1t was said, would
be chosen.
Airplanes, dirigible balloons can
be used in the derby. and steamers,
railroads, motor cars, camels, hors-
es and elephants also can be utiliz-
4 ed for parts of the trip.-Kansas

500 Airplans. Sold.

Nevertheless over five hun.
dred airplanes have been sold
and delivered to individual own
ers since March, 1919, and the
reason not over that number
have been delivered is that the
manufacturers could not pro-
duce faster. The demand is as
great for $500 pleasure air
planes as it is for $500 air
planes. A great many buyers
acquired Curtiss training air
planes because they could not
get the Oriole type of pleasure
airplane-or anyother type.
THE first Oriole was built for
the Second Pan-American Aero
nautic Exposition, which was
held at Atlantic City in May.
