Mail Pilot for the National Air Transport.
Written Exclusively for The star and the
North American Newspaper Alliance.
Fog is the worst enemy of the mail
pilot, who, to get the mail through
with any regularity, must take chances
commercial and passenger carrying
pilots need not risk.
1t was the fog which had me about
as near beat as I've ever been since ]
started flying. On the New York-Mon-
treal run several times / ran into fog
and SnowstorTnS. But usually, after
tough quarter OF an hour or so, I was
out of them and they took their place
in my mind as forgotten incidents, all
part of the routine Of mail flying.
Fog Closes in Over Hudson.
However, there was one experience
not so easily dismissed. One day about
the middle of last October 1 started
from Montreal with mail for New York.
It was only my third trip on this run.
The weather was fine all the way down
% Peekskill, N. Y, on the Hudson.
There the fog closed in. 1t was get
eng late, which didn't help the visible
lily. I pushed on, dropping lower and
lower, trying to get through to Hadley
Field, New Brunswick, N. j.. the New
York air mail terminal. I got just
north of Teterboro, N. j.
Then the fog became so dense I was
forced to within Is feet of the ground

cast of clouds came down to the top
of the fog.

River and tried to follow it to the coast
But if you will look at a map you will
see how the river winds, making such a
course very dificult.

Hopping Over Bridges.

I was flying Just over the water. I
kept hopping bridges. would see a
dim, black shape loom suddenly ahead
of me and I'd yank back on the stick,
clear the bridge by few feet, then drop
back to the river. That region is thick
with bridges, smokestacks, factories,
high-tension electric lines and other
things I can do without in my business.
I flew like this about 80 minutes,
making three turns up and down the
river Then saw long bar of sand
or mud fash under me along one side
of the stream. turned back, tried to
estimate where it had been, cut the
motor and settled down.

WISE IN ARLINGTON
HITS DEMOCRATS
Assai|s Party in General and
Gov. Byrd's Administra.
ton in Particular.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
StafY Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON, Va, October 25.-In
a Scathing attack upon the Democratic
party in general and the present ad-
mtniStration in Virginia in particular,
Col. Jennings G. Wise of Washington
and Richmond declared at a political
rally here last night that the Coalition
party is but the leader of the people
against reactionary system of boss
ISM which popular indifference has
allowed to destroy democratic govern
ment."
Col. Wise was the speaker at a
Coalition party meeting In the old
Columbia Pike Schoolhouse. The meet
ing was well attended.
Attacks Gov. Byrd.
Attacking Gov. Byrd, Col. wise said
that the formers cry of economic
progress after years of economic leth-
argy on the part of the Democratic
bosses Is designed to lure the people
away from the moral reforms essential
to real prosperity.
LET the country be not deceived"
he shouted to his audience, for the
people of Virginia who enacted the first
statute of religious liberty, who de-
stroyed the anti-Catholic party in 1855,
are not bigotS. They are simply Ameri-
cans who believe in complete separation
of church and state and all the other
fundamental principles of JefYersonian
democracy.
THE outcome of the present CAM
paign is of the utmost Importance to
the Nation. II the sedulous cultivation
of their national prejudices and pas
Sions has served to preserve the in
furious sectionalism of the solid South,
a solid North has also contributed its
part"
Still Moral Leader.
Continuing, Col. Wise declared that
Virginia Is still the moral leader of
the South and that in her inherent
conservatism should be recognized an
effective balance to the radicalism Of
other sections.
In conclusion, Col Wise said that after
the present campaign the two original
political parties will realign, each puri-
fed by the ordeal Of battle against the
common enemy. Then" he said, "the
National Republican party must help us
upbuild the Republican party Of Viz
GINA, since without its aid we cannot
60 forward. To the North, say, con-
tinue to exclude us by narrow policy
and the Nation will pay the penalty"

Special Dispatch to The Star.


MARTINSBURG, w. Va, october IS.
Damage to property in the Eastern
Panhandle as a result of brief flood con-
ditions Tuesday and Wednesday will
run into thousands of dollars, farmers
declared today, estimating their losses.
The food waters in tributary streams
were on an average 5 feet higher than
at the time Of the Johnstown flood,
older residents, recalling both expert
ences, declared.
Wheat fields were washed out Some
land will not be in shape to use for sew
eral years, it was predicted. Corn shocks
were washed away. Curiously, many
shocks were found perched in the tops
Of trees. The most plausible explana-
ton was that the rush Of the waters
had bent the treetops and put them
where they could catch the corn.
Damage to low-lying property in
Berkeley Springs. Morgan County. at
the center of the heavy rain, will be
high, particularly in the way of dam
aged store goods. No houses were re-
ported moved or washed away by the
waters and no serious accidents &C.
