Who Likes Thrills
Instructor Praises Crit
of Miss Emma Le0vev,.

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, January 30.-A 57-year-
old aviatrix. modest Emma Edwards
Leavenworth, complained today that
the moderate pace OF an automobile
cramps her style.
"You can't get any speed out Of
an automobile" she complained as she
tugged a pilots helmet down on her
ears-"so took up flying"
Leonard r. Peterson, her instructor,
said he believes she Is the oldest
American woman to fly plane. "All
the other women flyers are much
younger than Miss Leavenworth in
years-hut certainly not In grit and
viewpoint"
Three transcontinental trips by au-
tomobile were enough for Miss Leav-
enworth. The long drives between
her Seattle and Bridgeport. Conn,
homes we're just little too mo-
notonous, so she decided upon avia-
ton.
"And, boy. you don't know what
a thrill 1t Is"
Even aviation came a little slow
in the beginning She quit after her
first lesson because she didn't learn
all there was to know about flying
her initial time aloft.
But after two or three days I
decided to come out to the field for
another lesson and-I was disguised
again"
But I came back" she laughed
after five lessons was still disgusted,
but I kept on and-well, here I am.
And it's q crowning thrill"

SEVEN NAVAL
PLANES ARRIVE
AIRCRAFT MET ON ARRIVAL.
BY LIEUTENANT WILL
LIAM KLAUS

Seven naval planes from the
air base at Opa-Locka. Fla, ar
rived this morning and landed at
the Pan American landing field
They were met by Lieutenant
VIM. Klaus, U. S. N, in command
at the naval station.
Coming in the air craft were
IL officers and seven enlisted per-
sonnet in command of. Lieutenant
A. K. Moorehouse, commandant
at the naval base at Opa-Locka,
just completing a two weeks tour
of active flying service.
They planned to spend the day
sightseeing in Key West. They
first visited the radio station and
equipment at the naval station.
from there they went to the aqua
rum and after that spent the
time in visiting other interesting
places and seeing the sights.
George Lucas, of the Key
West Electric company received a
telegram notifying him of the ar
rival of the planes and wondered
in what way his duties could be
connected with the naval reserve
flying service.
This morning he decided t. fol-
! low the instructions in the tele-
gram. and was surprised to find
that it came from an old friend.
Lieutenant Walter Gearhart. who
was member of the flight group,
and took this method of giving
Mr.. Lucas a surprise.

GIVES STATUS OF
DIRECT RELIEF
TO UNEMPLOYED
SHOWN THAT COMMUNITY
MUST TAKE OVER RESPON-
SIBILITY IF AID is TO BE
CONTINUED HERE

If direct relief to unemploy-
allie people and the ERA clinic
are. to be continued, the commun-
fly of Key West must assume
this responsibility within the
next few weeks. This informa-
ton was given to members of the
local citizens advisory commit
tee by Mrs. w. r. Warren, Key
West representative of the State
Board of Social Welfare, District
Ten. Although direct relief was
discontinued by the FERA
throughout the country December
1, 1885, Key West has continued
to have the benefit of this re-
lief.
The Works Progress Admins
tration, members OF the advisory
committee were told, is an agency
designed to give work to employ
able persons, and its activities
stop there. 1t was not organized
or set up as a direct relief-giving
agency.
Since the FERA is being rap
idly liquidated and brought to a
close. Key West is faced with
the problem of taking over the
responsibilities which always have
its own. 1t was emphasized that
unemployable people who can
never be absorbed by private in
dustry because of physical, men
tai defects or old age, and those
needing medical attention, are
definitely the responsibility of the
state and local community and
not the Federal government.
At the last meeting of the adj
visory committee, ways of raising
funds to carry on the clinic and
to provide necessary direct relief
were discussed. Local civic or
CARNATIONS and groups, private
citizens. business firms and 9TH
ers probably will be called upon
to assist in this work which other
Florida communities have been
handling since before the first of
the year. entertainments also
may be given to help raise the
needed funds.
! Mrs. Warm said the commit
tee would welcome any sugges-
tons from local citizens as to
ways whereby the necessary
funds can be raised. Communica-
tons should be addressed to her
or to any member of tho commit.
tee.
Those aattending the last ses-
sion of the advisory group were

Wilcox Explains Status OF
Bridge Matter In Address
At Court House Yesterday
Remains Very Hopeful OF
Obtaining Roosevelt's
Approval Toward Secur-
ing Necessary Loan

Congressman j. Mark Wilcox
yesterday told the people of Kew
West that the fate of the BRIDGES
rests with God almighty and
Franklin d. Roosevelt" Everv
thing possible has been done to
secure the appropriations for
building them.
When at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Wilcox entered the
assembly room at the county
court house he was given a rous-
ing cheer by his anxious and an.
ticiPatory adherents, many of
them women, who were eager to
hear the message the congressman
brought to Key West.
He was introduced by Allan B.
Cleare. Jr., president of the board
of direcrorsso Of the Young Demo
cratic Club, who in a few words
told of Mr.. Wilcox's mission and
his hopes for the support of Mon
roe county in his race for re-
election a. congressman of the
Fourth FlOrida district.
Talks On Main Points
Without useless words the visit
ing congressman told of his inten-
ton to touch only on several
points which were OF vital interest
to Key West, one of which was
the bridges. And this question he
would take up first. He would
neither attempt to fool the peo-
pie nor extend false hopes.
He said that he was so deeply
interested in the matter OF the
bridges that he had spent a great
deal longer time in Washington
than he had intended, and when
he left the capitol had just enough
time to spend one day in each
city in the interests of his CAM
paign, before election day.
He did not mind this, however,
because it was in the interests OF
Key West and its people and he
felt that they deserved whatever
could be done in their behalf, not
only because they were the most
hospitable people he had ever
met, but because they had been
placed in a position where it be-
came necessary to help them in
their isolation and distress.
Also he could not forget that
two years ago Key West gave him
the greatest percentage of votes,
as to population. he had been
given anywhere else in the district
and it was. and is. his desire to do
all possible for Key West and its
people.
When the idea of the bridges
was first mentioned in official
Washington it was considered a
preposterous and fantastic idea.
Just a pipe dream, and to over
come the sentiment of officials
required a long and discouraging
fight. The proposition had never
been turned down, just pigeon
holed.
Time and again he had asked
for additional data to that which
he had been given, and on more
than one occasion B. NJ. Duncan,
consulting engineer of the state
road department had been re-
uuired to come to Washington
with other and additional infor-
