$4,000 hours in the air, a record, Ii

Earle Miller, in Popular Mechanics

For man still in his early thir-
ties to have spent nearly two years
in the air is a remarkable thing,
but more remarkable still is the fact
that after fifteen years of flying, it
still holds its lure-the one thing
he wants to do.
The great majority of fliers, after
a few years experience, retire into
something not quite so hazardous.
but Eddie Stinson expects to keep
on flying as long as he lives. The
answer is that he is one Of those
rare persons, a natural-born flier.
That is not to be wondered at, for
he comes from the greatest flying
family in the United States, and, so
far as American and British records
show, the world.
The flying 'Stinsons have produced
four pilots Katherine, Marjorie,
Eddie and Jack-a record believed
to be unique.
How does it feel to have spent
$4,000 hours in the air?

Eddie confessed the other day. "It's
the one thing I want to do. and the
only thing I know how to do-build
planes and fly them.
-"I get in six to eight hours every
Sunday, usually flying down to Chi
cago from the factory at Worthwhile,

boys at the airport, and, while we
have test pilot, usually manage
to get in a bit of time on every

TRAIN WITH DEAD ENGINEERS HAND

 PULLMAN CARS; PASSENGERS SHAKEN

ELKTON. Maryland, Oct. 26.- Running with dead engineers hand on the locomotive throttle, ten Pullman cars of the Washington New York Express on the Pennsyl- vania railroad, jumped the track after it swiped and buckled a freight car on southbound track at Iron Hills, severely shaking up scores of passengers on the ex- press, early last night.
 The engineer of the express, George Rollins, aged 40, was in- stantly killed when a piece of tim Der from the buckled car hit him over the heart, as his engine struck it.
 The locomotive, running free with the dead mans mand on the throt- tie, left the tracks and dragged the Pullman cars after it. The im- pact threw dozens of freight cars from other tracks splintering three to bits and scattering debris over the right-of way. All traffic was delayed until the wreckage was cleared away.

PARIS, Oct 26.-French women are aghast because they now have to pay $16 a month, with bed and board, to get good general ser want who will do everything includ- ing the family wash and mending.
 A large part. of the blame for this state of affairs is laid on the indul- gent methods of wealthy foreign CTS resident of France. Housewives from across the Atlantic are ac- cused of over-paying servants, of coddling them, feeding them too well and lodging them too comfort ably.
 Employment bureaus report that things have come to the pass where many French women will not en- gage servants formerly in the em- ploy of foreigners. They consider them spoiled and lazy.
 On the other hand many servants stipulate that they will hire out only to foreign families. They are picking up smattering of English
