COLOREDG.O
HERE Are SPLIT
Two Calls Issued For
Caucuses To Choose

The colored Republicans of Sumter
county have a merry war brewing
among themselves. 1t appears that
the old split of four years ago, re-
suItlng in a boilers convention at
Macon, has reappeared after it was
beheved the breach had been healed
at a recent caucus.
The existence of the split became
known outside the colored ranks to-
day when DR.. D. F. Pughsley, declar-
ing himself the chairman of the Greg
ulars for Sumter county, asked pub
hcatlon of call for a party. caucus
here ten days hence to elect delegates
TO the district and state conventions.
Inns call followed a similar call is

Requ sites For Success.
With a quickness that leaves no
doubt as to her decided opinions, Miss
Reid answers the query as what she
considers the six requisites for the
success of woman in business:
First, l should say a requisite to
success is picking the thing you are
best suited to do. So many girls
read magazine story and then
apply for a place as private secre-
tary when they know nothing of the
qualifications for that place.
Second, learn everything that
can possibly be connected with the
place you have, or the place you
want. If you go to a school to
train you for that work, go to the
school as you would go to work
decidedly in earnest.
Third, learn to look ahead; gain
that power called vision, for it is
the most important factor in real
success.
Fourth, learn to delegate details
to other people and don't try to do
everything yourself. Most women
fail because they try to do a 100
per cent job themselves, instead of
allowing others to do things in a
more efficient way.
Fifth, keep your head up,
smile on your face, and DON'T
RUSH. Mad rushing about and hab.
Itual business is the worst thing in
the world to destroy real effic ency.
Sixth, don't try to be man.
Just be woman and be proud of
1t, because women are capable of
every mental energy that men are."

What IT'S like
7 MILES IN AIR
Impressions of Maj. r.
w. Schroeder, Only
Man Ever There
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent
BY LEE J. SHIFTS

DAYTON, O., March 3.-Wha: is
il like seven miles up in the air?
Only one man in the history of the
world, has ever been up there-Major
R. W. Schroeder Here are his I'M
pressions:
The earth beneath was a flat
round picture, clear in every de-
sail.
The purity of the upper air en-
abed him to see six miles straight
down much more distinctly than
one would see looking over six miles
of desert or ocean.
Not only were rivers and large
landmarks visible, but automobiles
street cars and cattle ia fields could
be seen.
When he turned his eyes direct
ly away from the sun, looking
straight out horizontally, he look
ed in b uish darkness. There was
practically nothing six miles above
the earth to reflect light; no dust,
no clouds. When he looked toward
the sun he could see.
Major Schroeder, who fell five miles
after breaking the worlds altitude re-
cord, presently will hear the answer
of specialists to his question, "Can /
hy again"
So far as casual examination re-
veals, the famous pilot will emerge
from his experience without perma-
uant injury.
To hasten his recovery he was re-
moved to the home of Sergeant C. B.
Coombs, another fiier, whose long as
ISOLATION with the major enable him
TO care for the patient as no profess
Eional nurse could. Mrs. Schroeder
Is constantly with her husband.
"0ur most difficult task is to keep
Major Schroeder from talking about
his fight" Coombs explained.
In the fall from 5000 feet above
the earth, Major Schroeder passed in
3 few seconds from an atmospheric
pressure of four pounds to the square
inch to the pressure of 14.7 pounds
81 the earth level. The fuel tank was
crushed.
When Schroeder lifted his goggles
in an endeavor to see what was wrong
with his oxygen supply, the contact
with the air at temperature of 81
degrees below zero, together with the
speed of his plane, produced FROST
bite of the entire eyeball, The most
delicate process in Major Schroeder's
recovery was the gradual thawing of
his eyes under Ace packs.
1T was only his wonderful skill in
night flying that saved his life" said
Sergeant Coombs. "Night fying is
almost a matter of instinct and re-
hex. When the rush of surface air
partially revived the major. he was
within fifteen seconds of the earth,
according to registrations of the in
struments in the plane. He remem-
bers forcing up his eyelids with one
gloyed hand while he CROPPED with the
other for the controls. Then he auto
mahcally went through the motions
incident to landing"
