Anxious Wife and Babes Await Word of
Flung ParsOn as He Nears Rock Island

As Lieutenant Belvin W. May
nard. the flying parson," neared
Rock Island today. in New
York there was an anxious little
woman and two little girls eagerly
awaiting each succeeding bulletin
recording the progress of his flight
east-bound in the great transcon-
tinentaI air derby.
j She is the SKY pilots" wife and
the little girls are his daughters,
Rose and Evelyn. Their anxiety
is not for his victory in the coast
to coast flight as much as it is for
his safety for SO worried are they
about him that Monday morning
when he was about to start on the
trip east, Mrs. Maynard wired him
to abandon the return lap and
pleaded with him by wire to give
up the race, but 1.-The flying parson"
merely considered the fears of his
wife and babes needless and he
pointed the nose of No. 100 from
the flying field at San Francisco
toward the Rockies and set out in
the face of one of the worst storms
of the season.
Mrs. Maynard is a little, black
haired, dark-eyed woman. Last
Saturday afternoon at the rope at
Roosevelt field, Mineola, which held
the crowd back from the landing
field OF the transcontineatal flyers,
she stood, with a conple of little
girls playing around, never far
from her skirts. She had stood
there a few minutes with an evil
dent air of waiting for somebody
or something before anybody rec
ognized her.
why. it's Mrs. Maynard" was
the exclamation, and she was
straightway taken inside the ropes
and provided with a chair.
The wife of the man who, al
though the news of his arrival at
San Francisco had not been re-
ceived, was conceded the winner
of the first lap Of the great contest
Immediately became a center OF in
terest. Her appearance on the
field, it straightway developed, was
to get the latest news about her
husband.
81 wanted him to write to- me
every day" she said, but he told
me I would get the news from the
newspapers and the officials quick
er than he could send it. / haven't
heard from him since he few
away"
She has a marked North Caro-
lima pronunciation which is quite
absent from her husbands speech.
So far as lingua1 evidence is con-
cerned, the famous aviator might
easily be a northern man, although
he has several North Carolina gen.
erations behind him. His grand
father fought for the Confederacy
in the Civil War.
All Smiles at News.
1t was a couple of hours before
Mrs. Maynard received the news
she was waiting for. The bulletins
of progress came in at intervals
Reno, Sacramento and the depart
ure from Sacramento on the last
75-mile hop. It was after O'Clock
before word was received of the
lieutenant's safe landing at San
Francisco.
81 ceht'nly am glad to heah thai"
exclaimed Mrs. Maynard, all smiles
and slurring every ar" in true
North Carolina style.
Her smile, in fact, was far more
eloquent than her words, as she re-
ceived the congratulations every
body seemed anxious to press On
her. The two little girls, Evelyn.
5, and Rose, 4, were unmoved. To
them It seemed the most natural
thing in the world to have an
aviator father, for he has been fly

OLD WAY; OR A BETTER WAY

ABIT IS THE most powerful and perhaps most ful of the attributes of the thing that finally makes difficult action easy habit has the dsad vantage of making progress difficult The old way often seems the easiest when it not truly just because of custom which is the habit of doing something until it very familiar.
 Because of custom, of and Bridgeport has school plant worth millions of dollars use an of 182 days It functions half of the me and marked and striking exception to most other institutions of whatever character.
 Yet education is valuable commodity. re- quires it. Schooling is laid legal compuson upon the child until he is A. and upon the youth until he sixteen unless he meets certain minimum requirements
 Is it not bit of hardship the children poor and upon all children that they should drag sluggish of education? Is it grievous hardship ton is purveyed only six months in the year?
 What objection besides custom habit to the full year school, that Supt. Sawson advocates?
 There is the High school difficulty about operating shifts The pupils do get enough two shift 182 day school.
 If there two shifts in the High school 300 day basis each pupil would get gets great saving in plant and cost of operating the plant
 The four hour day. 300 days in the year. would give 200 education, hours more than they average
 But older children might take hours. Certainly five hour day. 300 day would not be too much the young people in High school, if they want it.

ance and machinery are necessary to help develop the immense resources of the valley, and they believe they are more likely to receive help from the United States than from any other of the great powers. There is strongly pro-American feeling in Bra gil.
 The principal stores in the towns of Obidos and Santarem, for instance, are displaying highly colored posters depicting Uncle Sam arrayed in stars and stripes smoking a certain cigar cite of native manufacture, a con- tented smile on his genial face. In another store shoe made in Brazil had the American flag a sa trade mark The use of our flag in such a manner would, of, course, be officially frowned upon in the United States, but the use of it in a South American
 country may be regarded as a hopeful sign of the times, pregnant of good for the future commercial relations
 between our countries. It is eloquent of the absence of any anti-American feeling such as once existed in many lIatin-American countries, that man ufactturers here should consider Un- cle Sam good advertising

THE RIGHTS OF ALIENS

UR OLD FRIEND The Call most ably of Socialist O in the United States says of Hugh trayne might employed in better work than to join with medieval expoers and monarchss in this bounding of Rus sans in the United States"
 Nobody should be "hounded. Rounding is species of punishment not based on justice.
 how have Russians been bounded in the United States.
 In Bridgeport forty aliens taken They organized association of communists They to tear down boundary fences to change ey the institutions of the country and they proposed to do it by violence.
 They as aliens conducting political movement by unlawful to citizens.
 The Call particularly represents party the United States party which strictly organized in groups of members who pay dues who conform rules consu- lions of the party and otherwise obey the party discipline
 stranger to the party is not permitted to exercise the form to the strict discipline expelled indeed is the custom of the Socialists to expe entire of for being unorthodox.
 which alien person, Russian other combine with other control the political life of the United States?
 If The Call does make such claim, it demands the Socialist party privileges against non-confoy which de- nies to the country
 students political economy as men versed in his tory and in the experimental knowledge of the constitution of government, the editors The Call first law of government is to be obeyed and that fails to be obeyed it is not the government
 The editors of contemporary must know that the gov ernment of their friend Lenne has not been able this duty law of government than the most ancient capitalist governments
 Lenne has said negatively that will make a war of propaganda against the United States his peace proposals
 The Socialist party would not willingly Democratic party participate in it's councils.
 Does The Call that States should per init to Lenine participation in it's councils?
 Does The Call claim for aliens the political rights that are permitted only to cizens that is to party
 Ii It does make such claims, why not defend them with reasons And if it does not why that Russians hounded because of them having privileges Of guests are to be sent back to their land.
 Is there, by the way, mlder penalty country may impose for political offenses committed by aen than to depor him to his country?
 Socialism is asserted of scientific exaotitude Why not then promugatng its tenets stick to Why not deal with laws and facts with policies things they and the distinguished editors of contemporary know them to be?
 When the Socialist party stops throwing unorhodox calsts out of its organization The Call find logical customary against throwing this country aliens who attempt to control its institutions contemporary defend its contrary with argument let it hereafter cut out the talk about "houndng"
 If there is place in the world where are bounded today is Russia countries Russians safe anybody else

MILITARISM TO BE

| London, Nov. 21-1ntense depres-
 sion reigns in circles favorable to the i League of Nations as a result of the American Senate's mutilation of the | covenant and the militarists are cor
 respondingly elated.
 ! Lord Robert CeciFs sorrowful dec laration that Europe must carry on | the League, although necessarily with l diminished effectiveness. should the l Senate adhere to the reservations, represents faithfully the attitude of the Leaguers here, but it is noted that no indication of French opinion l on the new situation IS yet obtainable. [ Militarists Advise Waiting. The League without America will be truncated instrument, devoid of the power and prestige required for l it's vast and complicated duties, | which demand the moral weight of the civilized world behind them to surmount difficulties growing and spreading every day since the arm:s- tice was signed.
 Mflitarists here, although they have been always scepticaI of the ef- hcacy of the League, are now begin ming to demand that the government shall go slow in reducing ornaments | until the situation created by the ac- ton of the Senate is fully developed. The same influences may be expected to appear in France and Italy, and nilitarisn, which the League was to have killed, may yet obtain renew ed lease of life.
 wholeh eartedIy for the League, al- though unwilling to say anything on what they insist is a domestic Ameri- can question on which they cannot
 with propriety comment, are never theless known to entertain this fear.
 Premier Lloyd George, never con spicuously enthusiastic about the League, possible he had no share in its inception is now said to realizs the disastrous consequences likely to flow from the limitation if not the withdrawal of the United States ir- terests. and has been invited to throw himself into the movement for it's preservation evon in its damaged
 and enfeebled condition. He is shortly to address number of public
 meetings in the English provinces.
