AERIAL MAIL
SERVICE AGENT
HERE VIEWING
SOUTHER FIELD
Frank C. Sheriff., of Postmaster Gen.
erals Office, Studies Local
Facilities

Frank c. Sheriff., from the Post
master Generals Office, air service
department, Washington, has been in
Americus for several days observing
the operation of airplanes and study
ing the facilities offered here for
aerial work in connection with the
carrying of the mails.
While his presence here has been
known to only limited number of
people it is regarded as having con-
siderable significance in connection
with the future of Americus and
Souther Field.
That Souther Field is almost GER
tain to be on any southern trans-con-
tinental lines established is the belief
of many officers in the air service ia
miliar with aerial conditions here and
in this section. Said an officer today,
who is an expert on matter of this
kind:
1T is just beginning to dawn on the
citizens of Americus that the huge
aerial warehouse at Aries adjoining
Souther Field, and where 300 men are
stationed, is not a cold storage ware
house but rather hot one; this de-
duction is arrived at from the facts
stated in The Times-Recorder Sun
day, that five to& of plane propellers
had been shipped by express to Bel
mont Field, New York, and another
big shipment to Norfolk.
The presence of Mr.. Sheriff. here
is a further indication that Americus.
with it's extensive facilities, may later
be selected as an important way sta
ton on the great rans-continental
aerial routes. Here are opportunities
for training, repairing, changing of
airplanes if necessary-in fact, one of
the most complete air stations in the
world, the buildings, fields and NOV
able property now here in the two
fields representing an investment in
the neighborhood, it is estimated. of
$4,000,000.
"The distance from New York to
Los Angeles, via Americas and New
Orleans, is 1854 miles. Stops on this
route from New York would probably
be made at Washington, Columbia, S.
c., Americus, Ca, Montgomery, Ala,
or Mobile, Ala, New Orleans, La, Lake
Charles La, Houston, Tex, San An
tonic Tex.
Climate conditions would permit
the use of this route almost daily
throughout the year, it being prac-
tically free from mountains and un-
certain currents of air; from points
on this route, branch flights could be
made to cities farther north such as
Memphis, Little Rock, Nashville, and
other places, time being saved, t.
though the distance would be a trife
long.
Some interesting developments
seem almost certain to follow on the
visit of the Handley-Page and Mr.
Sheriff., air service representative
from the Postmaster Generals Office,
and it passes without saying that the
hearty cooperation of the citizens of
Georgia will be found back of any
aerial progress the government may
instigate."

IL. Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly, or if he breathes
short and quick, or if his ears droop.

SMALL GIRL IN RUSSIA
GIVES LIFE FOR OTHERS

Gently the heroine of as great deed
of bravery as was ever performed
on the western front. Fedora was
out walking with her small brother
and sister near the railroad at Sc
danka, a station about twenty versts
from Vladivostok The children were
playing between the ties Of the rail-
road tracks while she was sauntering
in the road nearby.
Suddenly looking up, she saw the
train approaching and almost on top
of the two small Riddles. She rushed
up the embankment and flung them
off the tracks, thus saving their lives.
She herself, however, was not able to
get away in time and was dragged
beneath the wheels of the engine.
Picked Up Unconscious.
When they lifted the little mangled
body from beneath the train. Fedora
was still living, though quite uncon
scious. One leg had been cut off
sion of the brain ( telephone call
was sent in to the American Red
Cross in Vladivostok, which imme-
diately sent out an ambulance, with
a doctor and nurses. The little heroine
was brought in and laid on one of
the white beds of the American Red
Cross Hospital.
AS soon as it could be safely done.
a clean amputation was made of the
stump, while everything else in hu-
man power was done to save her. A
special nurse was put on the case
night and day. Her mother was per-
mitted to be with her all the time,
though she never regained conscious
ness.
Every member of the American Red
Cross, from the head doctor to the
poorest 'sanitar" took an interest in
the case and tried to do something
ingly sacrificed herself to save others.
All Show Sympathy.
In the still small hours of the night
one of the doctors would be seen
some change for the better. Or
nurse from another floor would battle
the white face that lay so still upon
the pillow. Or a santiar would stop
to vince at a moan or Strang1ed cry
that sometimes burst from the blue
lips.
Five days she lay fighting with
death. doctors and nurses fighting
with her. But it was of no avail. At
o'clock on the morning of May 80
Decoration day, she died.
And those nurses and doctors of the
American Red Cross who later at
tended the memorial services in
Vladivostok, included little Fedora
Hurtat in the list of heroes and hero
ines for whom they were paying low
