The osteopathy bin was debated
at length but finally passed over

IN WEEK

LONDON, April 1O.--Aviation has
started early this year to take tn
toll Of human lives in Europe.
Within one week, the most disas-
trous In the history of aerOnautics.
IL lives were lost.
Great Britain sacrificed three Of
her foremost ana renowned air
pioneers, the Hon. Elsie Machay,
beautiful ana intrepid daughter Of
one Of the richest men IN England;
Capt. wv. G. R. Hinchli1fe, q dis
tinguished war and commercial
pilot, and FIikht Lieut.. Kinlxead
ono Of the most brilliant hfgh.epeed
pilots IN the world.
The Mackay- EIinchliffe flight was
the most secretive and romantic
IN the history Of aviation. For
hours after they hoped off from
an ice-coated flying field II was not
known where they were heading.
For two days II was not confirmed
that Miss MacIxay was aboard the
plane. Even Mrs. Hinchliffe did
not know where her husband was
going.
ViscOunRs Daughter
OF middle height. dark and viva
ciOus, and known to her friends az
q woman Of steel nerves, the Hon.
Elsie MaclEay was the third daughter
Of ViAcount Inchcape, the shipping
magnate. She possessed everything
= young woman could desire. One Of
the best-dressed women and best
dancers In London society. she was
an expert horsewOnnan ana had
achieved fame in the English movie
world, where she was known as
Poppy Wyndhann.
AS for Hinchcliffe, he was con-
sidered one Of the most skilled pilots
in the United Kingdom and won
tame during the war, when he fought
his way through 4 squadron Of
enemy planes to destroy two OBJ
aervatiOn balloons, behind the en-
emy's lines. He also took part IN
four successful attacks on enemy
aerodromes. and was credited with
destroying many enemy planes. Dur.
ing one battle HE left eye was shot
out by 4 Tnachine-gun bullet.
Imprisoned within the cockpit Of
the fastest flying machine IN the
world, Flight Lieutenant Kinkead
dived to his death into the waters
Of the English Channel at a speed
estimated to have been over 300
miles an hour.
Air Force Ace
He was an lace" in the Royal
Flying Force. and It is believed that
his death was due to the fumes from
the fuel Of his engine, which con.
sisted Of mixture containing ethyl
lead. It has been revealed that he
complained Of feeling sick during
his test flights, and that he did not
Hike the smell Of the petrol fumes.
Among the other victims Of air
disasters during that fatal week
were: Four French aviators: five
English airmen and one woman. one
Australian. The woman was Lady
Carbery, d distinguished aviatrix.
and pioneer of flying In East Africa.
She was really an American woman,
her husband having dropped his title
in 1920, when he became an Amert
can citizen. She met death when
her plane. in which she was instruct
ing q friend, crashed to the earth,
killing both instantly.

Norman Pyle il bringing his

In the event You don't know
who. what, or Why Pyle and Leo
are. here's what Bradstreet and

say:

he isn't in Charlotte, Lynchburg,

May be a lion, although the
name Is identical with that Of
the late Sarah Bernhardt's pet
canary.
And the sanity Pyle reluctantly
admits that Leo is an animal
q ferocious, jungle Iion-his
grandchild only in a figuratiye
sense.
Norman, press-agent de luxe
for the Metro-G oldwyn Mayer
outfit, is giving Leo, the world
famous lion of Metro trademark

thousands of screens daily-is be-
ginning right here in Washington

all came about because so many
peopIe-picture fans-have in the
past seriously doubted the ex-

Jungle" and hundreds Of letters
pour in to the Metro offices
weekly asking that pictures and
autographs of the unknown star
who plays Leo be forwarded to
ardent photoplay admirers. Think
OF it? Thinking Leo "phoney"
character.
Pyle thinks it abominablei And
so, with Metros full consent and
blessing, he's bringing the 'origi-
nal Leo of trademark fame"
here to see the great village on
the Potomac.
Better than that, he's arranged
70 have Leo meet the nOtables
in first-class fashion. A banquet
on June q. at high noon, with
Leo as host, will be staged at

guests load in the food.
