 Herring, in the rear, turned and fled for a tree, as he was without any weapons of any kind. Thayer, an experienced woodsman and hunter, fired one time. The bullet apparently took effect but it failed to stop the maddened brute It bawled loudly two or three times as lit crashed into Thayer
 Herring from his perch in the tree, could not see clearly what followed owing to the heavy brush that intervened. However, he could hear the sounds of the bear growl- ing and mauling and see the strug- gle dnnly. When the animal left Thayer, Herring hurried to his side.
 RETAINS CONSCIOUSNESS
 Thayer was still conscious when his companion reached him. He murmured, Save yourself, Fred, !" and almost immediately lapsed into unconsciousness. He was terribly Ilacerated both from claws and teeth. The left side of his head and neck were fearfully torn. His stom- ach was torn open, the flesh on the back of his legs was stripped off, and his back, hands and arms were pierced many times by the bears teeth which apparently had both mauled and chewed his victim.
 Herring made Thayer as comfor- table as possible. He then set off for the Weepoose, the camp tender in use. There lie and Captain O. O. ICollen, third member of the cruiS- ing party, loaded themselves with blankets, lantern, flour to close the gaping wounds, and other first aid dressings and hurried back to the scene of attack
 It was almost dark by the time they arrived and it was with some difficulty Thayer was located He had regained consciousness and was able to talk little. But he was very weak from loss of blood and the beating he had received.

Eggs and Their Value in the Diet Ex-
planned by the Nutrition Specialist
National Egg Weekday l to =
sponsored by the National Poultry
Council and supported by the Della
ware State Poultry Association, brings
to attention with special emphasis the
value and place of eggs in the diet of
the child. The necessity for furnish
ing foods of the best quality to build
and keep in condition the child's body
is obvious, according to Miss Pearl
Macdonald, nutrition specialist of the
Extension Department of the Univers-
ity Of Delaware. If the child is to
have strong bones, sturdy muscles,
steady responsive nerves, good blood
and other well-built and regulated tis-
sues, he must be supplied through
the food that he eats-with materials
Of the best quality available for pro
noting growth, for building, main
tanning and regulating the body ma
chine. Also, these materials must be
sufficient in amount TO meet the child's
daily needs.

The orchard owner was not so philosophical
and the Government had to pay 81 200 for all
the trees taken down by the plane. But Turner's
easy dismissal of the incident, as far as his
courage and skill were concerned, is charac-
teristic OF the man. who believes in taking
every job as it comes and not worrying
about It,
Probably this and the other qualities indi-
Gated by the incident just related are among
the chief reasons for Col. Turner's recent ap-
po1ntment as chief of Marine Corps Aviation
or, as the unit is more popularity known-"The
Flying Devidogs." In the selection of Col

the Haitian bandits, commanding officer of
Marine flying forces in recent Chinese disturb

Cross for pioneer flights over water-the Leath-

COL. TURNER has the unique distinction of

He commanded Barron Field, Fort Worth, Tex,

Col Turner learned to fly early in 1917, at
time when acrobaticS or stunts" were mys-

describes his first loop wildly:
Two French pilots visiting our field explained
how to do It, went up. nosed the plane down
to bring the engine revolutions from 1850 to
1000, according to directions, and started to
pull the stick back for the loop. But then

one quick jerk at the stick and over I went
I don't know yet what really happened, for I
went through lot more than loop before
came right side up.
There were several interesting experiences
while I was in command at Barron Field
met many students who later became famous
pilots, such as Erik Nelson and Lowell Smith of
the round -the-world team They were good
students and learned quickly. But remember
one chap who didn't Like others, he was hav-
ing hard time getting in his dual instruction
because of the scarcity of dual control planes
There were some two-Seaters on the field with
controls only in the rear cockpits, so decided
to help out by riding the front seat and letting
this student do the flying. OF course it's much
better for the pilot if he has set of controls
himself in case of emergency. -~
This student and took off and flew for a
while Then sgnaled him to land. He'd been
making routine turn around water tower in
the other type of plane before landing SO he
started the same thing in this type But this
type of plane landed faster so he came in like

We shot across the field at flying speed until
we came to dyke at the end. Then we stopped
very suddenly. with the plane on its nose And
I also stopped my practice of helping doubtful

Col Turner was one of the first men to
engage in overwater flights with landplanes
Using an ordinary De Haviland he made the
longest over-wat:r flight for that type Of ship

the Caribbean. That was in 921.
"'IE only eVentful moment in that was when

There were about 5000 natives on the plaza,

drive them away by diving low, but they didn't

attempt and came in as though just had to

only 1000 feet His small ship caught in a
sudden furious Texas Thunderstorm was hurled
up and down like leaf. A jagged streak of
lightning tared intentionally close, followed
by a cacaphony of thunder that drowned the
engines roar.
When he could hear 1t again, Turner caught
the sound he had known was coming The
rain had reached his exposed magnetic and
his engine was beginning to miss.
He dropped the nose slightly, again staring
through the rain toward the earth. The en-

desperate, hopeless chance-the gesture of one
who puts up his hand to hide the death he sees
