Aviation and the Mother Mind
minneapolis Tribune)

DO you want your overcoat, LESLIE
Leslie was Pilot Leslie C. Miller, leading fly
er in the class B air derby from New York to
Spokane The speaker was Mrs. D. |. Miller OF
Des Moines his mother. The scene was the
St. Paul airport, where Pilot Miller had made
a graceful descent from the clouds for five
minute stop-off preparatory to making the hop
for Fargo, N. D.
Pilot Miller, as it happened, didn't want his
overcoat. For one thing, he was busy with the
details Of refueling his ship, and didn't have
time to notice a cutting September wind. For
another thing, transcontinental flyers can't be
bothered with overcoats while a dozen planes
are roaring down on them in race against
time.
Nevertheless, the overcoat incident has its
place in the annals OF aviation. If it is of no
aeronautical Importance, it at least reveals the
mother mind, and the mother mind. we have no
doubt, is intensely concerned with aviation.
The world is indebted to Mrs. Miller for the
charming question which served to humanize a
great transcontinental air derby. If Pilot
Miller evidences heroic qualities, what then OF
Mrs. Miller? What of the Mrs. Lindberghs,
the Mrs. Chamberlins and the Mrs. Goebels
worry with stole calm? What shall we say of
the mother mind which steels itself against
possible disaster when nosedives and tailspins
and headWlnds, not to mention overcoats are
engrossing attention and effecting a slow tor
ture?
The mother mind may present a surface i'm
The mother mind may accept
the hazards Of the air with superb outward
courage. But the mother mind, caught off
guard, will inquire of overcoats; it will confess
to wracking fears; it will wonder if the night
is very dark, if the sea is whipped by mercil.ss
winds, if the motor huns steadily and true
That is the mother mind, despite the Spartan
and sweetly hopeful exterior.
All honor to the flyers-they are courageous.
Of overcoats. Theirs is an inspired, selfless
courage which has never been approached.

WASHINGTON ~
LETTER &M

Wheeler went into the convention
hall and took volminous notes.
Suddenly the chairman interrupted
a speaker and announced:
81 have just heard that . repre-.
sentative of the Anti-Saloon League
is present. We will suspend every
thing until the intruder is found
and removed
"What a lerv- that fellow must
have to come in here" remarked
Wheeler to his new friend as three
innocent bartens rs were thrown
out of the hall.
That was one Of Wheeler's favorite
stories.
In the Ohio fight over the local
option law, Wheeler experienced
trouble through the refusal Of the
legislators to vote. Whenever time
to vote on the measures came, tho
majority would retreat t. the rest
rooms and lavatories. Whereupon
Wheeler went out to their districts
and in a series Of speeches told the
voters that "your representative is
privy councillor"
The legislators began to get sar.
castle letters and kilograms ad.
dressed to "Privy Councillor So
and-so and soon Wheeler had won
his fight.
He was always quick to match the
methods of his adversaries. Once,
after sessions lobbying with the
Ohio legislature he observed that
the liquor lobbyist was taking all
the newspaper boys down to . saloon
to celebrate the end Of the session.
The next year when it was over
he headed the boys off. "Boys," he
said, II wish l could 60 down there
with you, but you know | can't.
Just the same, I've got little re-
membrance for you"-an' he then
gave each reporter a handsome cane.
In one Of his first law cases.
Wheeler found that he had made q
merely routine preparation and lost
his case. In his own words
Il decided then that I'd never 20
into court again without knowing
more about my case than anyone
else possibly could"
The League has figures to show
that Of 1000 court cases, in which
Wheeler personally represented it.
he lost only five. That seems i'm
possible.
Despite his control lever them.
few senators and congressman were
personally intimate with Wheeler.
Most Of chem bitterly resented the
popular theory that Wheeler owned
them body and soul. They hated to
corroborate it.
IF you want me for anything,
telephone or write" they used to
tell him. But don't come into my
office"

In 1884 DR.. Theobald Smith found
that Texas fever in cattle was trans
ferred from one animal to another
by q tick. The discovery was epoch
making because this was the first
disease caused by germ which was
definitely proved to be transmitted
through the agency of an insect.
Cows infested with ticks are q
menace because they carry disease.
AS pointed out in q recent bulletin
Of the Louisiana state board Of
h. alth, they are, moreover unhappy
cows. Even animals with q light
infestation showed a production Of
1876 per cent less milk than those
without ticks; cows heavily infested
with ticks produced as low as 42.4
per cent less milk than when they
were freed from their annoyance.
Dipping Surest Way
In an endeavor to rid cows oil
ticks dipping has been found the
safest and most certain procedure
A trench is dug and filled with 9
special mixture known as arsenic.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 26.-The vast
majority of male New Workers COM
pletely fail to live up to their out
side reputation as "swell dressers."
For every white-spatted, cane
carrying, snappily-clothed stroller
on the Avenue there are ten thou
sand wearing "marked-down-from-
fifty-dollar" attire.
Whereas almost every person Of
the feminine gender makes desper-
ate efforts at being attired in the
"New York Manner ever though
she has to accept the cheap copies Of
the Sixth avenue installment houses,
her companion is likely to furnish
a glazing contrast.
The fact is that the average male
dweller in this city is likely to have
to spend so much monev keeping his
wife well groomed that he hasn't
much left for himself. And, where
he is not married, the mere business
Of paying the rent, and taking the
girl friend out to lunches, dinners or
theaters is likely to keep him rath-
err close to the ragged edge.
And. again, whereas the homeliest
brat that saunters the sidewalks is
likely to mike regular visits to a
beauty parlor and even have the
temerity to intrude herself into a
beauty contest, only a limited per-
centage of Manhattan males kid
themselves about their good looks.
A few days ago big bathing re-
sort tried to hold a contest for an
"Adonis of the Beach," and though
the entry lists we're opened weeks
in advance not single male of the
thousands frequenting the resort
made the slightest effort to lay
claim to such title. There was not
one entry and the contest was called
off.
The legend Of the "swell dresser"
doubtless originated with the old
melodrama wherein the 'city slickcr'
was invariably from New York and
was pictured as capturing the simple
country lass through his "fine clothes
and city ways"
Today the situation is largely
reversed. The most dapper young
fellow you pass IN the Avenue is
very likely to be the visitor from
Flint, Mich.
On the other hand, those New
Workers who are groomed are just
= bit better dressed and a bit more
confident and at home in their
clothes than the men Of any other
section.
Those immaculate first nighters,
the middle aged men one sees at
the clubs or coming out Of Wall
Street offices, the men one passes
in the Fifth Avenue parade = they
have a certain snap and distinction
to be found in no other place.
Mingled with these you will see
some of the most prominent names
the city possesses-famous writer's
and theatrical critics-and most Of
them in apparel that one could use
for q mirror if hard up.
