GREATEST FLYER
 GOT NO CREDIT
Major F.. w. MannoCk Was Leading Ace With British Flying
 Corps.

London. July 6, Correspondence
 of the Associated Press. )-The late
 Major E. w. Mannock was the lead ing 'ace' of the British aviation corps but il was not until months aft CT the armistice that the fact was known and he never will be officially
 credited by the air ministry with be- ing England's premier flyer. Tt was the policy of the ministry during the
 war not to proclaim individual ex- ploits and it has not been changed since lighting ceased.
 The record of Mannock's eighteen
 months service is most unusual. He started by outwitting examining phy- sicians in concealing the fact that he
 Was blind in one eye. At 29 years of
 age he was older than most of the pilots in training but he seemed to , lack nothing required of successful air fighter and soon qualified and went to France,
 Immediately he adopted tactics pc l cuiar to himself and it finally was | devia tion from those tactics that l brought him down. He always flew very high and enticed his adversary l into a high fight but, in bringing down l his seventy third German, he chased | his falling foe too near the ground 1 and a bullet from an anti-aircraft gun | ended his career.
 l Officers of the Royal Air Force have 1 acclaimed him the greatest air tacti- | clan in the service. He had none of 1 the eccentricities prevalent among 1 successful French aviators but he was
 scientific, persisted and dogged. One | of his brother officers recently said | that he had seen Mannock stalk a l Hun for an hour or more, attempting l to gradually draw him higher and 1 then, when the slightest opportunity
 for advantage presented itself, he was 1 on the foe liks3s cat.
 1 Although Mannock was presented
 with the Distinguished Service Order
 and the Military Cross it was not un- l til the thousands of records of pilots | were checked in the air ministry here l that it was known that he had more 1 Germans to his credit than any other l British aviator. This fact was al | lowed to become known at the minis
 trv but not officially.

Flying AirpIane Said to Be More Sim pIe Than Driving Auto or

London, July 22, Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-The fact that only young men ca pablo of pass ing severe physical tests were accept ed for aviation work during the war has caused the belief that flying as sport will be barred to persons past the prime of youth. That is a mis- take, according to British experts, who say that for ordinary peace-time flying there should be no age limit The only qualifications they set are good eyesight and a sound heart.
 Flying an airplane, it is pointed out, is much simpler, and far less

THE Indestructible Wife" Alice
Brady's latest picture which
comes to The Spencer tomorrow
and Monday has considerable local
interest attached to it in that it
was written by Fred Hatton. for
merly of the repertorial staff of
The Argus. Fred Hatton, cola Dor
sting with his wife, Fanny Hatton,
has written a great number of New
York successes and '<The indie
stTuctible Wife" is one of the most
prominent. The story deals with
Charlotte, the strenuous bride of
Jimmy Ordway She is athletically
inclined while her husband is not,
and he finds a great deal of trouble
in keeping up with her He meets
Brandy, a professional athlete,
whom he decides is the correct
man to tire her out. Brandy falls
in love with Charlotte. Jimmy de-
cides to tame Charlotte as Petru-
chic did the Shrew. He kidnaps
her and takes her to a boathouse
Brandy tries to rescue her but
Charlotte loves Jimmy and refuses
to be rescued. Tanned Charlotte

less strenuous life. Evelyn Nesbit

Teddy" portraying the life of the
late Colonel Roosevelt complete the
bill for the balance of the week. AS
added attractions next week come
the ever popular Fatty Arbuckle
and Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew.
These comedians never fail to
please and alone are worth the
price of admission.

At the BurtiS.

Way back in the seventies Mark
Twain made a trip to the Hawaiian
islands and the benefit of his trip
there is amply set forth in his book
"Roughing It." He simply raved
over the beauties of these blessed
isles" and ever since they have been
called, and justly so, Mark
Twain's Paradise" Today those is
lands are the property of the United
States, and the native Kanaka is
gradually going the way of the
American India, dying out, also in
termarrying with all the people of
the islands, the japanese excepted.
"A Daughter of the SUM-" the
story of an Hawaiian butterfly, a
play written by Lorin Howard and
Ralph T. Kettering, and produced
by the Affiliated Productions Co, is
the coming attraction at the Burtis,
Davenport Sunday afternoon and
evening. This play is the latest to
deal with this interesting theme and
the wonderful realism and detail of
the islands is maintained by band
of native Hawaiian players, VINO
render their plaintive and charming
music at intervals during the play.
The realism is further intensified
by most wonderful and elaborate
scenic equipment. The cast is a
competent and large one, being
more numerous than many musical
shows.
