Miss Elizabeth Lewis, only woman
pilot in the Northwest. declares that
flying is less dangerous than riding
in a taxi or plunging into matri-
mony.
Miss Lewis should know. She Is
one OF the IL licensed woman air
plane pilots in the United States. She
has been flying for more than three
years, and she is an exhibition flyer
whose aerial acrobatics put the birds
to shame.
Way back In 1917. when the Unit
ed States started TO put the Amer
ongen in kaiser. Miss Lewis took
her first flight with Billy Parker. in
structor in the Davis. school of avia-
ton. in Seattle. She hoped at that
time to be OF service 10 the United
States forces in the war as an in
structor.
Today Miss Lewis Is one OF the
best pilots in the country. During
the past year she has been acting
manager of the Dewey Airplane Co..
Oklahoma, and when she wanted to
forget the business of selling and
renovating planes, she would take a
little ship up to 6,0oo feet altitude
and there cavort around the sky like
a frolicsome porpoise in the middle
OF the Atlantic.
"NOTHING IN FLYING
TO SCARE A PERSON"
"Scared?" said Miss Lewis Satur-
day. There Is nothing in flying to
scare a person. SO long as you have
sufficient altitude, you are as safe as
IL you were sitting in the old Morris
chair in front OF cozy fire"
Miss Lewis declared that flying
has long since become an everyday
occurrence In the Middle and South.

three Of the thirteen men who had
been sentenced to hang here today
or tomorrow have been granted.
and today Frank Campione and
James Henry Reese. negro. died
on the gollows. Frank Zagar Is
under sentence to hang tomorrow.
Campione was convicted OF the
murder of a saloonkeeper during
a robbery, and Reese was found
guilty Of killing his wife with
hatchet. Zagar was convicted OF
killing two Greeks. Efforts to
have him adjudged insane proved
futile.
Chief of Police Garrity, in dis
cussing the reprieves for ten OF
the convicted men, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE fact that all but three OF
thirteen murderers have slipped
their neck from the moose Is an in
vitation to the gunmen to go back
to their profession.
I'm my opinion the big reduction
in murders this year, recently
made the subject of a report by
the Chicago crime commission, is
in part at least the result Of the
thirteen hanging sentences which
served as warning to the gunmen.
When the gunmen, who are
watching these cases carefully.
note the final result OF the SEN
tences they may be expected to
smile at the law and begin mur-
