More Daring than the Men
All Women Who Take Up Flying Are Successful

New York-Although the wealthy
folk of the future are destined to be
"chauffed" in the air by their own
aviators in decorative, upholstered al
planes, the real woman student of
aviation will come from the middle or
professional class of Americans, says
Capt. Field Kindley, Adjutant to Col
Archie Miller, in command of aviation
at Hazelhurst field.
The women of the younger genera
ton between % and 80, are intensely
interested in aviation, and the wonlal.

NIT her desire to know more about
aviation to remain unsatisfed, Capt
Kindley said.
'In virtually every instance in which
a woman has taken up aviation, to my
knowledge, she has been successful"
said the Adjutant. 81 have discovered
that when a woman becomes interest
ed enough in flying to learn to manage
q plane in the air she makes more
daring and nervy flyer than the aver
age man. Ruth Law, who learned to

Wright plane, is undoubtedly one of

Surgeons Have Made Youth With
''Charmed Life" All Over Again
Many Operations Have Been Performed on Ladd in the
Past Few Years

In sixteenyears surgeons have just
about made Hubert Frederick of Bige-
low, Ark, over. He has had eleven
operations and various splints and
patches and now is recovering in a
Little Rock hisospital from an acct
dent that fractured hts skull four
ways. He has had lifelong series Of
accidents.
The last and most serious happen
ing to the youth occurred at the plant
of the Fourche River Lumber Com
pany at Bigelow. An engine blew up,
part of it striking a pile of lumber,
scattering it with great force. One
timber struck c. A. Porter, negro,
killing him. Young Frederick was
standing two feet away and was hit
on the head by a flying timber. Al
the Little Rock Hospital it was found
a fracture extended from the front to
the back of his head with four smaller
fractures radiating from the point
where he was struck. The skull was
depressed and and a piece two inches
long by seven-eights of an inch in
width was removed and the skull
raised to relieve pressure on the
brain.
The operation was the eleventh the
lad has undergone. When he was TWO
years old he fell into pan of boil
ing water and his arms were badly
burned. He started to school at four
and was the pet" of older boys. One
day they were tossing him from one
to the other and he fell, breaking his
collar bone.
Seven years ago he and another boy
were racing horses. A woman with
a baby carriage stepped from the side
of the road and Frederick's horse
stopped suddenly, throwing him off.
The horse stepped on his right ankle,
crushing it.
Soon afterward the youth was
stricken with appendicitis. 1t re-

Walnut St. Theatre
Gives Up Rare Wood


construction work of 100 years ago
and now are being brought under the
eyes of engineers in charge of the
destruction of the old Walnut Street
Theatre at Ninth street. They do not
reflect the greater credit of modern
methods of carpentry.
The Walnut, erected in 1908, and
first used as "circus," is said to be
| the oldest theatre in the United
States. Workmen have barely
scratched the surface of the fascinat
| ing secrets which are being unfolded
to them. Woods which are now re-
garded as rare and expensive, and
which are polished and used for fin,
ishing only, were used in the rafters,
and even in the shingles of the old
theatre. Walnut timber is found in
abundance, in places where it has
been concealed from view for 112
years. Shingles are in the roof which
are as good as they were when the1
were laid 112 years ago.
Valuable Wood Found
Paneling which today would be
made of cheap wood, with carving
pressed in, is found to be walnut or
some other equally valuable wood, to
be really hand-carved and then var
nished. A workman yesterday moist
ened the reverse side of a piece OF
wood which was taken from the wall
and rubbed his fingers over it. 1t
shone with lustre and grain which
persons nowadays are glad to find in
their best furniture. The piece Of
wood had been buried next to bricks
for century.
Rafters which run above the staunch
walls of the old circus, which have
been uncovered, are found to consist
of strips of pine or other timber, about
half an inch thick, laid in sixteen or
eighteen layers, and nailed together.
The cross-graining effected this way
gives a great deal more strength than
the single piece Orders now in vogue.
More Secrets Due
Whatever secrets, dark or other
wise, may be revealed when the earth
| foundation of the house is delved into,
can only be imagined so far. A tun-
mel runs about below the old circus
arena wall, but the floor of the theatre
with this exception, is laid apparently
on solid earth foundation. The plans
for the place were lost years ago, so
the wreckers must work lin the dark I"
Numerous coins, hairpins and other
articles which theatregoers for three
or four generations have let slip
through cracks and crannies, are be-
ing gathered up.
Will there be old skeletons, dried
bones, buried treasures, precious relics
discovered as the delving for the
modern structure which is to be erect
ed, progresses? That is the question
which the next few days alone can
answer. Already a niche has been
discovered propped up with a bent
piece of growing tree, rough-hewed
and gnarled, for which no purpose can
be assigned. Who knows what
wraiths of bygone wardrobe mistres-
ses, what callboys, what dead stars,
stumble about in the earth these
nights looking for the boards" which
once they trod.-Phila. Inquirer.
