Many of those who came in contact
with Mrs. Keith Miller during her
weeks residence here remarked at her
preoccupation and at her comments of
not having been able to eat or sleep
properly. She admitted to some that
she was worried about the water hop"
but she refused to consider the idea of
not making the return trip in her
plane alone, and finally, after being
held up by weather reports for three
days, insisted upon starting even though
the weather was still bad.
Experience in Fog Recalled.
Every one gives me credit for being

Mrs. Keith Miller had with her a
collapsible rubber boat which she
but she expressed doubt at her depart
ure of her ability to initiate 1t.
Mrs. Keith Miller late in October
established q two-way woman's trans
continental record flight from New York
to Los Angeles and return, making the
return trip in 2134 hours. Since COM
ing from Australia three years ago she
had acted as a demonstration of small
planes and amphibians and had been
instrumental in popularizing aviation
among women. She also gave exhibit
tions in gliding. Her husband is a
newspaper man in Sydney.
She hoped to fly her tiny moth plane,
the Bullet, in three hops to Pittsburgh
yesterday, landing first at Miami. While
she told a Cuban newspaper man, prior
to her departure, that if she were going
we'll at Miami she might keep on for
a while, others more conversant with
her plans secuted the possibility that
she may have done so and come down
at some isolated spot in the interior OF
the United States.

it was said the minimum tonight would

The change from extreme cold to

Lake Ship UnrepOrted Since Being
Sighted in Distress Yesterday.
CLEVELAND, November 90 R-
Ploughing through a Lake Erie snow
storm, the Canadian freighter Simcoe
arrived here today and proceeded to her
berth after being unreported since she
was sighted in distress more than "a
hours ago.
Nothing had been heard of the
Simcoe, which was running from Buff
falo to Cleveland, since yesterday morn
ing when Capt. L. G. Kirk of the Mid
land Prince saw her listing IS miles
northeast of Fairport, Ohio.
Capt. E. Greisbach of the Simcoe said
he never was in distress and had laid
to near Rondeaux, Ontario, to ride out
the storm, which accounted for his
being overdue.
Capt. E. H. Cahours Of the e. M.
Young on arrival at AShtabula today
said his ship had stood by another
ship which apparently was in distress,
but that in the darkness he was unable
to make out the ships name: Capt.
CahourS said two other ships also were
standing by the distressed vessel but
he also was unable to make out their
names.
A forlorn search was in progress to-
day for William E. Griffin, Berea, Ohio,
pilot, who has been unreported since he
headed his homemade monoplane west
from Buffalo in the teeth of Mondays
blizzard
Although officials at the Cleveland
Airport had little hope that Griffin
would be found alive, Pilot Barney
Rawson said he would take off today on
a search OF the Northeastern Ohio
hills.
Coast guardsmen patrolled the shore
from Buffalo to Cleveland yesterday
in the belief that Griffin's body would
have been blown ashore had he fallen
IN the lake, but found no trace of him.
Mail pilots on eastward runs also
were instructed to watch for the miss
ing man. There were reports that q
plane had been in trouble over Chester
land and cambridge in Geauga County
Tuesday night.
Griffin, who is %, had been flying
for four years.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAGERSTOWN, Md, November 90
With an official temperature Of degree
above zero registered at the Govern
ment station at Chewsville, today be-
came the coolest November day on rec
ord in this vicinity.
The previous low mark according to
Observer D. Paul Oldswald, was 3 de-
grees above zero, recorded on Novem-
Der Is. 1908.
The Potomac River was frozen over at
Williamsport at a point where 1t IS
about one-quarter of a mile wide. 1t is
believed this never happened before in
November.
The extreme cold was blamed for
considerable wire trouble in the nearby
mountains. The Western Union cables
were reported out of service about 10
miles east of Cumberland.

it is the extremes which eX-

is such a difference in atti-

one problem, say, for instance,
the matter of progress in
school.
In the first place, there is the no
ton that if your child is very bright
and you send him to school as early
as five or six years, he will use his
brain too much and get fever from
it. I am still being told this by anx-
ious mothers. In most cities, even
these timid mothers must send their
children at seven years of age, but it
is with fear in their hearts.

prominent educators are against the

is not for that reason. They are not
thinking of homes where such misin-

in mind that many nursery schools
are not conducted by expertly train
ed and mature teachers who are
equipped to do the delicate work that
these early schools require. Where
this happens harm is done along with
good AS to the home which these
educators prefer as training centers,
they mean normal homes with moth
ers who take the rearing OF children
as their most important job.
So, send your child to school as
early as he shows signs of wanting
to 60. Let him be the guide up to the
age of six years. His brain will ben
eft from use just as the rest of him
will.

No, women today don't particularly

she made half q dozen social errors
that she would not have committed

bread and olives with her fingers at
