THIS ESKIMO HAD GUMPTIoN
work Of Native Woman, who Was
Sole Survivor Of Arctic Expsd'-
tion, 10 Marvellous

Those who have followed the daily
press during recent weeks have prob.
ably noticed the disastrous and tragic
eading Of the recent Wrangel island
arctic expedition. In the account OF
which Ada Blackjack, an Eskimo
woman. figures strisingly. says Mad
isor Cooper In the Flowe. Grower
For fortitude, courage. resourceful'
ness, religious merit and all around
gumptlon, Ada Blackjack serves as an
object lesson to many OF her brothers
and sisters of greater opportunities
and enlightenment. Compared with
person of the strongest mental bal
ance and with the greatest physical
endurance and experience, the accom-
plishments of this mite of humanity
(she Is less than Ave feet talO. are most
marvellous. While nursing dying
companion, confined to his bed for
weeks, this little woman performed all
OF the duties necessary for an exist
ence in the polar regions, Including
cutting wood, trapping, hunting, cook
Ing, etc. She even during this time
learned TO use firearms and shot seals
to help out the scanty food supply.
The real worth Of human being Is
only demonstrated by necessity conf
bined with opportunity. Under circum-
stances which we of the so-called civ
ilixed races of the earth would PROB
ably have succumbed TO discourage
ment and disease, Ada Blackjack rose
triumphant and never showed the
white feather or what our modern
slang calls yellow streak" If Ada
Blackjack is good representative OF
her race, truly the Eskimo has never
been valued at his true worth.

ORIENTAL FAREWELL QUIET
Forms Sharp Contrast to Roars of oe-
eidentai Crowd as Ships
Leave PORT

As the big liner steamed out Of port
a hoarse, deep-throated roar shook her
tan and black tunnels; and lesser,
wilder cry burst from the thousands
alongside. Roses pelted down from the
decks above. arms whirled like pin
wheels, and deafening crowds screamed
their farewells.
But in the throng a little pool Of
silence brooded undisturbed. Six i'm
passive oriental faces formed half
moon of silence as old as the Dawn o.
Creation. Sphinxlike, through i'm
penetrable almond eyes they watched
the whirlwind sweep the crowd. What

Up on the ships higher deck stood
lone oriental figure whose almond
eyes focused on the group. A thin
yellow hand lifted the black hat hOrl-
Eontally in the air. fleeting ghost Of

Nothing moye! The yellow faces be
low cleaned strangely. Six hats rose
simultaneously in air. No waving.
no yelling. no cries Only shadow
Of a smile In the watching almond
eyes. The crowds ragged on, shrek

After you've puzzled that out, you

gradually your eyes come to rest on
''If Done in the Air We Do It," with
the conviction that Mrs. Horchem
must have been learning these things
since before airplanes were invented.
Then you discover-if you're as
lucky as 1 was-the picture Of an un-
deniably pretty girl. who isn't the
least bit modest about the date Of her
birth. She discovered America, via
Ransom, Kan. In March, 1899. Since
then she's found time to get an edu-
cation In Portland and Seattle. For
business success she's come back to
the same country. Horchem's Aerial
shows have headquarters in Wichita.
But Mrs. Horchem explains that she
has to be on the road pretty contin-
ually-by which l take 1t she meanA
In the sky $50 she gives her home

In letter written in July she told
me that she had just made a new
woman's altitude record of 1899 feet
while flying at st. Louis on July 5.
She's been in commercial aviation
tour years, parachute jumping two
years. (Somehow that simple record
of a year or two years to learn one
new form Of control over herself and
her machine gives one thrill of
realization of the hugeness of each
victory.)
As regular job, Mrs. Horchem spe-
cializes on carrying passengers com.
mercially. The last half year has
kept her at this work very steadily.
On her present notch stick of achieve
ment she has chosen to keep the rec
