FORT WORTH, Tex, March o
His efforts to keep the fact from his
family that he was engaged in the
hazardous business of walking the
wings of airplanes nearly cost the
lives yesterday at Comanche of Joe
Sparks, IS, and his companion,
Howard Woodall, 26, both Fort Worth
aviators, according to word received
here last night.
Woodan's hip was broken and
Sparks sustained severe injuries
when their plane fell 400 feet before
throng of watchers, including
Sparks relatives.
Woodall, the real pilot of the ship,
traded places with Sparks and was
walking one of the wings when the
younger man lost control of the
plane and it plunged to the ground
The wing walker chung to struts and
guywires until the machine was
within few feet of the ground when
in some manner, he got clear of the
wires and fell away from the plane
Sparks and Woodall left here with
two planes yesterday morning to per-
form and carry passengers at
Comanche. Sparks experience as a
pilot is limited. local flyers said, as
he has confined his work in the air to
acrobatic stunts and parachute jumps

FIND MIRA SECOND
LARGEST Of STARS
Astronomers Say Seeming
+! Speck in Sky Is 250,000,-
600 Miles in Diameter.

Measurements at the Mt. Wilson
Observatory of the Carnegie lnsti-
tuition have established that Mira,
the remarkab variable star dis
covered by David Fabricius in 1896
in the constellation Cetus, is the
second largest known star. thereby
displacing the noted Betelgeuse for
that honor.
With an angular diameter of about
250,000,000 miles, it is exceeded only
by AntareS, chief star of the con-
stellation Scorpio with a diameter of
400, 100000 miles. 1t is larger by Is
per cent than Betelgeuse in the con-
stellation Orion, which was measured
for the first time about four years
ago.
Appearing but a, speck in the sky
TO the naked eye. the measurements
of Mira were made by DIR. Francis G..
Pease with the 20-foot Nicholson in
terferometer attached to the obSerVa-
tory's 100-inch telescope, the same
With which the first measurements of
Betelgeuse were obtained.
Announcement of the meaSuremen Mt
was made today by the Carnegie In
stitution on the basis of adVices from
Mt. Wilson. 1.-The results indicate"
the announcement says. IAN angular
diameter for Mira of about six hun
dredths of a second of arc, a value
about % per cent larger than Betel-
Eeuse. The most probable value of
the distance is 165 light years. AS
Stunning this distance, the diameter of
the star is 250,000, 900 miles.
The star varies greatly in light
through a period of about IL months.
its brightness changing as much as
200-fold in that interval. The meas
urements of the stars diameter were
made when the star was near it's
recent maximum.
THE name Mira, or The Wonder
full was given to the star soon after
the discovery of its remarkable
variations of light by Fabricius in
1886. 1t is the most noted example of
a class of variable stars of similar
type, of which there are about $50
known. They are deep red in color
and are doubtless all stars of i'm
mense size, low temperature and ex-
ceedingly low density.
LAS a, class these stars are moving
very rapidly in the sky, some of them
having velocities of more than 100
miles a second toward or away from
the earth.

BELFAST, ireland, March 9.-Not-
withstanding snow and a cold rain
storm, Cavan, which lies near the north

various groups. One man pulled a re-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, March 9.-The
State Health Department has issued
a warning against the spread of the
bloody eye" a new species of cold
originating in Northern cities.
Application for treatment of the
first known victim the disease has
affected in Baltimore caused appre-
hension among local physicians and
health officials, who say the danger
of an epidemic is imminent.
While not serious in its effect, the
disease is very painful and detracts
greatly from the facial beauty of the
victim, whose appearance inevitably
warrants the suspicion that he or
she has been busily engaged In fiout-
ing the Volstead act.

ALB. See Elevator Company, Inc.

Three A. B. See passenger elevators in the

The operator has complete control of the door and

This latest development in elevator door devices
insures the utmost safety in elevator operation, the
inside gate required to be closed while the eleva
tor is in motion The enclosure door cannot be opened
unless the is stopped at the landing, and the ele
vator cannot be started until the door is closed and
locked.
In addition to the safety features mentioned, the
elevator service is increased, due to the saving of
time in handling the doors which permit the passen-
gers to enter and leave the without delay.

mothers the Old Age Pension Movement In 1921
it dedicated itself in spirit and in funds, to this
humane cause. Thanks largely to the efforts of
the Eagles, Old Age Pension laws have been pass
ed in Montana Nevada and the territory of Alas
ka. Yet the Eagles have only just begun their
work in this direction.
The F. 0. E. has always backed the workmen s
compensation movement. 1t has sponsored the
movement against child labor. And in the various
communities, Eagles have been active in social
work in behalf of the poor and unfortunate, Thus,
practically all their activities have in some way
frightened the burdens of mothers
Thus, it can justly be said that Mothers Day is,
in large measure Eagles Day. The American
War Mothers, the powerful group of women who
gavetheir sons for service in the World War, have
publicly credited the F. O. E. with originating
Mothers Day. This community can be proud to
know that it numbers among its citizens group
of men who belong to the order chat for more than
twenty years has been so ardent champion of
the cause of Motherhood.

MOTHERS DAY is EAGLES DAY

We have, right in our own community, group
of men whose activities in behalf of mothers en-
title them to special mention on this, Mothers
Day. These men, the members of a great national
organization, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, can
wear with special pride the flower which is the uni
versal tribute to the motherhood of this country.
At the door of their organization has been laid,
justly, the credit for the establishment of the
Mothers Day custom. One of their leaders, Frank
+. Herring of South Bend, Indiana, has been
known for twenty years among the Eagles as
THE Father of Mothers Day. He began his cam
paign for the establishment of Mothers Day back
in 1904 and 1905, in Kansas City
Ever since its origin, the F. O. E. has taken as its
motto For Mother and the Home With this
idea in mind it has passed resolutions establish
ing sick and benefit funds that have lightened the
burdens of thousands of Eagle mothers It's Patri-
otic Fund, since the World War, has paid out more
than million and half dollars to the dependents
in nine cases out of ten the mothers boys
who died or who die today as the result of injuries
or illness incurred in the War.
The Order sponsored Mothers Pension laws
from the time the first one was passed in Missouri
1t is now carrying on an equally great campaign
which will prove boon to aged and dependent

PERSISTENCE

If consistency is jewel, persistency is it's twin
brother. Outside of the fundamentals of honesty
and ability, there is nothing that spells success
like persistency. TIE man who hangs on, while
others drop off, is the one who reaches his destina-
ton and goal How many times have we known
this to happen, even in the smaller things of life!
How often is the story of success written around
the fellow who keeps hitting the pace, day after
day and year after year. There is no field of en-
deavor in which persistency does not enter as a
ringing true virtue Men have built great bust
ness enterprises by persistency in advertising
The foundation to many a fortune has been lain
by presidency in thrift, ecoromy and small saw
ngs. Men have persisted in the fields of politics,
and have finally reached high positions of state.
Youths have sacrificed at the altar oftpresistency
in seeking education and have seen their ambi-
tions realized. Others have persistedeand broken
the letters that bound them to wrongful habits
and have been thus permitted to enter into new
ness of life and fresh fields ofusefulness Persist
enfy, thou too art jewel ~ a's ~. y. u.

THE PARENT-TEA CHER ASSOCIATION

Newspapers all over the land are giving liberal
news space to activities of the Parent Teacher As
sociations This is healthful sign so far as
schools and education are concerned In the past
there has been too great gulf between the par
ents the teachers, and the pupils. The Parent
Teacher Associations foster the -mingling of the
three groups making them feel that their prob
lens are in common. The one big problem before
them is the making of better citizens-not alone
for the pupils for for the parents and teachers as
well. A proper attitude on the part of the child
is an inspiration ought to be an inspiration for
the adult. The rule works both ways Man makes
the child and the child makes the man.
