 Mix watched the manufacture of finish and when his visit was con- cluded he was presented with a spe- cial bit and spur set by President Holmes. Mix showed keen intere st in the industry. Although he has virtually spent the greater part of his life on a horse, he had rever seen the processes through which his indispensab friends-bits anu spurs-go when they are being made.
 Buffalo Bill" whose place Mix has taken in circus life, visited the North X Judd plant on the occasion of his last visit. A bit and a spur made by the company now bear his name.

 Miss Gentry was formerly . cashier in a restaurant. She attract ed attention early in 1926 by plotting q plane under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges over the East river, in New York.
 Set Endurance Record
 In 1928 she get an endurance solo record for women fiiers by staying in the air over Roosevelt field for 6 hours and 37 minutes.
 After her record was bettered in January. Miss Gentry made an att tempt to regain her endurance title, but cracked up her Swallow plane in taking off from Roosevelt field on January 31.
 Plans for another attempt at the record in March were postponed be- cause of unfavorable weather.
 Miss Gentry did not take the air again until last week when she and Charles w. Parkhurst went up in the Answer" in an unsuccessful at- tempt to establish a new refueling endurance record.
 Miss Gentry and Ashcrafts plane joined that in which Martin Jensen, accompanied by his wife and an- other pilot, were making a similar attempt over Long Island. Jensen had been up since Wednesday night.
 Before the take-off Miss Gentry had a curtain stretched across the cabin to provide her with private compartment. She said after her previous attempts she had received several letters from persons she de- scribed as ''gossips."
 Mrs. Jensen dropped a note to Miss Gentry last night asking her to come up and keep them company in the lonely night flight over the island.

over again for Bill Ulbrich. It had been known she and Ulbrich were close friends. just as she was . close friend of the Jensens, but that the feeling between them was more than that was not known until. believing herself at deaths door. she prayed to have him with her.
 Pleads For True Report
 And then ulbrich, who had seen the other plane disappear in banx of clouds. effected communication with the flying field ffice by means of the radio telephone in his plane. He was as hysterical as Miss Gentry had been and he pleaded and storm ed and wept for 8 true report on what had happened to Miss Gentry.
 Pilots at the field talked with Ul- brich and finally told him there had been an accident and that Miss Gen. try had broken an arm. He was 80 distracted they were afraid to tell of internal injuries that had made hospital physicians shake thei: heads and murmur of "a 50-50 chance"
 Ulbrich was promised. to quie: him. that microphone would be run directly to Miss Gentry's bed- side 80 that he might speak with her. Preparations were made to do this on the chance that in a lucid interval the woman fiier might be able to say a word, perhaps her last word. to the man she continued to call for in her semi-conscious moments.
 Girl Stayed at Home
 Ulbrich lives near the flying fields with his mother and for sev- eral months Miss Gentry has been staying with them. She and Ul- brich were often seen together. at the fields and elsewhere. and they were always Bill" and Viola" to each other, but that was easily ac- counted for by the natural inti- macy of persons in the same haz- ardous profession.
 Until today, until the man and woman called to each other across the Valley of the Shadow of Death. not even their associates of the flying fields suspected that a TO- nance had been blossoming in their midst unseen. |
 Shortly before noon fliers at the field believed that a crucial point was arriving in the endurance flight of the Three Musketeers. The wind had risen to 70 miles an hour on the ground and at the height the plane was flying it was about 55. Jensen dropped a note that he needed more gasoline.

 At the hospital is was said both arms were broken. One was broken in several places. She regained consciousness soon after arriving at the hospital. Miss Gentry asked about Ashcraft, but she was not told of his death.

 Dinner on River Bank

A sheep bake at Lake Compounce instead of the usual shore dinner on the Connecticut river is the desire of the members of the New Britain traffic bureau this year, according to opinions being sent to past Presi- ident Walter L.
