AIR Liner FALLS
MAKING landing
One Man Is injured in Crash at
Newport, R. |.

4 Newport r. l., July 21.--After hav-
ing flown 10000 miles safely since the
! opening of the line on regular and
chartered trips, one of the air yachts
of the New York Newport air serv-
ice, the "Fleet Wing" met with Its
first mishap here late yesterday after
noon as 1t was making a landing
| from New York. AS result H. Cary
Morgan of New York is at the naval
hospital with a compound fracture of
the left leg below the knee.
The other passenger on the air.
plane Harold Fowler, also of New
| York, escaped with no more serious
| injury than a duckingy In Coddington
Cove. The pilot. H. II. Thorburn, was
, uninjured, though he was taken to
the hospital for observation after
being rescued from the water.
The airplane is badly damaged, hay
ing turned completely over as 1t
struck the water. 1t was towed to the
shore by two navy boats and an effort
will be made to right 1t tomorrow to
ascertain the exact damage.
The terminal of the line being so
close to the naval station, there was
a prompt response from officers and
men there to aid in the rescue work.
Their assistance was invaluable and
the facilities of the naval hospital
were Immediately offered.
The Fleet Wing was the second Of
the lines airplanes to arrive from NV
York on tn regular Friday trips. The
Gray Lark had preceded it with
Messrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss. Brad
ford Norman, Jr., and Hugh Kelleher
as passengers and had made good
landing off the station.
The Fleet Wing followed In a few
minutes, Pilot Thorburg bringing the
machine in across the wind. which
was blowing fresh. When the ma
chine was within rs or 100 feet of the
water 1t dipped sharply and struck
the water hard. It came down on
slant and the lowest of the pontoons,
striking the water first, dug in" The
momentum Of the machine was such
that 1t turned completely over. Il
After the accident. Pilot Thorburn
was at q loss to explain what had
caused the machine to fall as it did
after having run perfectly all tile way
from New York. Manager Grover
Looming of the line, who was stand
ing on the shore watching the air.
plane come in, was also unable to ex-
plain how the accident happened.
The belief Is that the fall was
caused by some fuke In the wind.
Mr.. Looming said that he regretted |
the accident extremely, but that the
lines trips would be continued &C.
cording to the schedule, and that the
Sea Bird would take the place of the
Fleet Wing. He took personal charge
of the rescue work at the time of the
accident and accompanied Mr.. Nor
gan to the hospital.

again brought up before Justice
Healy. The girl was remanded to the
Children's Society until July 81, with
instructions that she be returned to
her home at that time, provided the
society has concluded its investiga-
ton Of the supposed run.
Meanwhile the mystery surrounding
the whereabouts of Sister Theresa.
whose real name, 1t was learned, is
Theresa Mccormack, deepened yester-
day with statement made by the
child in court that among the
woman's six trunks Of accumulated
clothing there were two complete
suits, Helen said was of gray material.
Strange Episode in Hotel
Added to this rame the story yes
terday concerning a strange episode
in the Park Avenue hotel. where
Sister Theresa lived for several weeks
before the child was taken from her.
The last seen OF the sister by the
Children's Society authorities was
when she left a taxicab at Sixth
avenue and Fourteenth street while

and Mary, where she had been offered
q haven.

after her refusal to enter the con-
vent. she reappeared at the hotel. |

them to the Pennsylvania station,
where she had them checked.
Heard Key Crate in Door
That night about 1880 o'clock Mrs.
Drisco, a guest at the hotel, was
awakened by the subdued rattle Of
key In the lock of her door. Assum-
ing that some person had mistaken
her room for his own she thought
nothing further OF 1t. until she was
again awakened about half an hour
later by the same sound. In the par

How to Look Your Best

We all have heard many times that
there is nothing more beautiful than
u natural complexion, and yet-when
you come right down to it, is that a
fact?
Who is more attractive-the woman
who only uses soap and water, until
her face has a real shine to it, or the
woman who skillfully uses the cold
cream jar instead of the soap and
water, then the other little artifces, to
finish the picture?
ASK any man!
Ask the children, even the tiny ones,
whether they like mother better when
she is all dressed up or when she is in
her bungalow apron.
The youngsters will give us the cor
rect answer, and that is that mother
looks best when she is at her best,
and no woman is ever at her best
when she is ill-kept-
Hair curriers' have a place-but not
where anyone can see them. You
must use them, if you will have the
soft fluffiness that nature has robbed
us Of, as the years go by. but If you
do use them do not allow any one to
know that you do.
Instead, wear them under a pretty
colored boudoir cap, with a soft line
around the face-something that will
improve your appearance as you
wear IL.
And when the work is over, instead
OF neglecting herself and scrimping at
her own expense, let mother pay a
little attention to herself, while she
still has a chance to keep young.
A stitch in time will save nine
wrinkles.

HerCOLnn1n

EVERY girl has enough Of
- Mother Eve in her to be a
coquette, to some extent, from
babyhood. 1t is natural for her
to "primp" a bit and to use her
eyes to the best advantage.
But it is not natural for boys to
be uppermost in the minds of small
girls. Rather, they are an attractive
"sideline.' When a girl of IS thinks
of them as all-important, something
is wrong. Often the trouble IS that
her mother has inbued that idea into
her, perhaps because she thinks the
