will quit making me a heroine.
Maybe I'll be a better hostess"
The company let Nellie do as she
pleased. She wandered from office
to Office, dabbling a bit here,
doing an odd job there. She worked
when she chose.
But she grew restless, discon-
tented-finally, under continued
pampering, she became sorry for
herself.
Christmas eve, 1887, one of her
best friends, a former r. w. A. en-
ploye who sensed her struggle, found
her in despair.
II backed her into a corner and
talked to her like Dutch uncle" he
recalls.
When he finally ended his TRADE
Nellie looked up.
IF you really want me to 60 back
I'll do it. I've needed this bawling

been there ever since!
Pilots and mechanics who had
fused over her constantly for a
year and half, now treated her
almost as a stranger-as a novice
who had to make good.
Only she knew of the nervous
tremble which sometimes affected
her hands. Or of the sudden fear
which gripped her at sight of light
ming.
Fog terrified her. So did rough
air. Vivid pictures shot through her

Heroine of Air Crash Wins

Nellie Changers Aim

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, July 31.-To the
men who f1y-those veteran airline
pilots who know the caprices of
wind and air and storm-Nellie
Granger is "the bravest girl In the
air."
Three years ago a transport plane
crashed. Cheating death by a
miracle, Nellie picked her way over
bodies and half dragged, half car
ried two other survivors from the
flaming wreckage. Then she
plunged II miles through fog and
rain and snow, through wild noun
tain woods and along muddy lane
for help.
Today, Nellie's back in the air
one of the best hostesses in T. w. A.
service.
The fight she had with fear, with
herself, to fly again never has been
told. She tells it now only under
persistent questioning.
In Air Three Months.
Only % and barely out of train
ing as q nurse, she had been in the
air just three months that foggy
April 7, 1896. A few miles over
Chestnut Ridge was Pittsburgh, her
home But the transport crashed
into the ridge, just 100 feet from the
top.
Nellie was thrown clear, stunned,
Reviving, she tugged the two sur
vivors, Mrs Meyer c. Ellenstein,
wife of Newark's Mayor, and c. G.
Challinor of Cleveland, away from
the fire. Mr.. Challinor died later,
18th victim of the crash
Four hours later a blood stained,
mud-coated, nearly frozen Scotch
miss finally found telephone and
notified company officials, who
sped an ambulance to the scene.
She refused to eat or rest; led
rescuers back to the wreckage. Hours
later, after she had seen her pas
sengers safely to a hospital, Nellie
collapsed and was put to bed under
a doctors orders.
She stayed in the hospital three
weeks, recovering from severe nerv-
Gus shock.
Nellie Became Famous.
Nellie was famous. Letters from
T. w. A. officials, from friends, from
strangers acclaimed her a heroine.
So did newspaper headlines and edi-

to star her In an aviation Aim. Ra-
dio bids poured in.
She rejected all offers. She had
one goal-to fly again.
June 4, 1896, she returned to the
alrways az plain N. H. Granger,
hostess.
Gee, it's swell to be back!" she
exclaimed.
Believed Fear Was Conquered.
She thought she had conquered
fear.
She might have but for thought
less friends and passengers. Every
one had to hear over and over the
story.
Friends pampered her, trying in
their own way to make things easier
Their solicitude had the opposite
effect.
Just two months later Nellie re-
ported for duty as usual
Have you heard the news?" some
one asked. "A crash"
VINO! Sne wondered. what
friends of mine were killed."
She assumed one of her own planes
was down.
She collapsed.
Only then was she told it was an
other lines plane.
Nellie's tears stopped, her nerves
Gained. She started for her plane,
then realized how she must appear
Il can't go up this way" she said.
What would my passengers think?
They'd lose confidence If T. w. A.
sent them a tear-stained, jittery
hostess"
Another girl took out the fight.
Maybe you'd better stay on the
ground awhile" q we'll meaning
friend suggested.
So Nellie grounded herself for, she
thought, "the good of the service.

mind-pictures Of that day on
Chestnut Ridge-pictures she was
trying to destroy.
Gradually she won.
Now, after 10 consecutive months
in the air?
"It all seems like q bad dream.
It's still back there in the shadows,
but 1t doesn't keep me awake nights
any more and I no longer go crash
ing to earth in my dreams.
Nellie's big ambition is to be a CO.
pilot on one Of T. w. AS luxury
liners. But Uncle Sam says mo"
His Civil Aeronautics Authority has
ruled no woman may pilot a trans
port in commercial service.
She's been at the controls, though,
"And oh boy, what a thrill" That
was on tune-up flights with no one
but employees aboard. "Gee," it's
swell to pilot your own ship" Nellie
says.
Another ambition is to fly one OF
the ocean clippers to Honolulu or
England.
Once the widely travelled "big

story. So, too, did Chinese. Her
picture was everywhere.
A Congressman proposed that the
rules be waived and Nellie be given

by law to have the last vestige Of
their independence taken away? Will
it again be "the revolt Of the little
man." This thing is an insult to the
intelligence of our dirt farmers.
The man in town, who never soiled
his hands with tobacco and has it
made in large quantities with cheap
labor is the man who wants control
and who wants the high dollar while
his tenants and hirelings stay in debt
at the store.
The tobacco market will be auto
matically controlled for the next
three years, without the farmers sell
ing themselves to the government. l
say, keep free at any cost.
The big farmers were SO doggoned
intent on ''roping" the little farmers
(by planting this big crop that they
find themselves in mess. Now let
them get out of it-"Make bad bed,

Take the foundation from under a
building and it will fall. Let this
thing adjust itself as it has always
done-give the little man a chance

troll him.

even though they don't work.

Growers Seeking
TOOutsmart AAA
On Cotton Quota

College Station. Raleigh. Oct. 4
A few cotton growers have been try
ing to "outsmart" the Triple-A-try-
ing to "beat the control program
by picking cotton which opens after
plants are cut down to bring their
acreage within the allotment, reports
H. A. Patten, head field officer of
the AAA headquarters at State Col
lege But they are being detected and
it is costing them, patten said.
Each farm was given a specific
~~rca 70 allotment for the 1889 crop,
but where grower unintentiOnally
overplanted he was given the OPP
portunity to destroy the excess acre
age and still receive Cotton Price
Adjustment payments, the Triple-A
official explained. 'No specific in
structions were issued as to the
method to be used in destroying
cotton, that being left to the dis
erection of county committeeman. In
many cases, the plants on the ex-
cess acreage were cut down just be-
fore the bolls opened The cotton
opened within a few days and far
mers harvested the crop which they
had presumably destroyed" Patten
added
eff any cotton is picked from areas
on which the cotton plants have been
destroyed, this would clearly be a
practice which would defeat the pur-
poses of the program AAA COM
pliance supervisors and committee
men are re-checking farms on which
excess acreage was destroyed, and
where the aforementioned practices
are detected, cotton price adjustment
applications are being suspended.

A very true saying, think, "A word
before is worth two words after
wards Make a mistake and repent
at leisure"

ers will plant tobacco next year on
their reserves" Which is saying
plainly that the big farmers have

past and intend to ''hog it, from now
on. Will the little farmers, seeing
that their chances for making a liv-
ing are thus taken away, deliberate
