DAYTON-D. C. FLIGHT
MADE DESPITE MISTS
Acting War Finance Chief Ends
5,000-Mile Tour With Hazar-
dous Air Trip.

Fred Starek, acting managing di-
rector of the War Finance Corpora
ton, last night completed "a 5000
mile tour of inspection of the opera
tions under his management when
he was piloted by airplane from Day
ton, Ohio. in three hours. The 40
mile trip to Washington was made
without a stop.
The flight was Il hazardous one
and was accomplished despite the
fact that observers at Boiling Field
predicted ii would never be complete ed
Shortly after s o'clock. however. two
planes emerged from the msts One
was piloted by Lieut.. B. L. Gates
with Mr.. Starek as a passenger, and
the other by Charles II. Bubb. Both
landed safely after having Travelled
the entire distance at an altitude of
1000 feet with nothing in sight most
of the time except banks of mist.
Mr.. Starek had made most of his
tour by airplane. His pilot holds
the distinction of being the only avia- :
tor who ever made a forced landing
In the Sierra Blanca mountains of
New Mexico and lived to tell the
tale. Mr.. Starek was a passenger on
that eventful voyage, too.

The longest night in history, Septem-
Der 2, 1852, was when the Gregorian
calendar was adopted in England,
through the influence of Lord Chester
field. The calendar arranged by julius
Caesar by not making sufficient allow
ance for leap year had caused the
English date to be then eleven days be-
hind the right time. These days were
omitted after September 2, so that the

by plunging them for few seconds In

MISS JANETTE ON CELEBRITIES

Certainly professional criticism of musical affairs could not well be dispensed with, but the personal opinion of anyone qualified to speak carries convincing powers that the long distance professional criticism cannot always command This was the case recently when Miss Helen Janette, formerly of Birmingham. but now of New York, talked of musical events in the east during the past season. Miss Janette has been study ing voice in New York for five years, coaching with prominent teachers and taking advantage of the unlimited musical opportunities Of the metropolis. She will be remem- bered by numbers of people in Bir- mingham, a s the possessor of a de- lightful soprano voice, but those who have not heard her during the sew eral years of her absence will scarcely recognize the ful-fledged dramatic soprano that has been de- veloped by such famous instructors as Joseph Regneas and Blanche Bar bot. A delightful stage presence bears all of the ear marks of the professional. Miss Janette is work Ing diligently toward a definite ob- Jective which she does not disclose, but next year she expects to coach with Thorner as the teacher best qualified for her particular line of endeaVor.

 Mrs. Solon Jacobs, second vice president of the National League of Women Voters, is one of the many women in the league who were not born suffragists and did not inherit suffrage convictions from their mothers. She had been a student of music-and a very brilliant musician she is to this day-a wife and a | mother, before by mere chance she went to a child welfare meeting and
 immediately was reused to the need
 for work for betterment and the
 need for the vote to make the work of women effective.
 She was the first president of the

Janette is more interested in the new lumnaries arising on the musical horizcl than in the st2ndard celeb rities who can usually please but seldom surprise us. She has un- bounded admiration for certain of those newly famous stars, who have recently been acclaimed in New York. and 1t is interesting to local music lovers to know that amt ng her greatest enthusiasms are sev- eeral artists that the Birmingham Music Study club Is seriously con- sidering bringing here next season.
 Prominent among these is Segrid Onegin. the new Scandinavian con
 tralto of the Metropolitan opera, who created a genuine sensation both in opera and concert in New York last year. It is a well knt wn fact that some of the greatest opera stars are not successes on the con cert stage, but according to Miss Janette Onegin is an unqualified
 success in both fields. Miss Ja- nette continued; "Onegin is an over whelming person. Every minute her audience Is in the grip of her per sonalty. There are many factors contributing to her immense powers of persuasion. For instance, she Is a stunning looking person. and com bined with this asset she unquestion- ably has that indeterminate thing which is born in some but seldom
 acquired-a perfect stage presence. She would shine among q multitude of stars But after all, these are only the auxiliaries of her success. for she is naturally endowed with a marvelously sweet voice destined in
 the beginning to be heard the world over Years of work under very discerning masters fhave brought her voice to a state of practically perfect cultivation. Art with her is no longer conscious endeaVor. It has become as natural as breathing.'
 h contrasting the foreign and do- nestle varieties of artists Miss Ja- i nette observed that most foreign ar
