WIFE GIVES IN“ TO AIR CRAZE; FUTURE PILOT Mrs. Gates Once Forbade Husband To Fly; Now She’s Taking Lessons New York, July :! HJ.R) Airplanes are far safer than automobiles today and are easier to handle because trnf fle conditions ate far better in the air than on the ground, according to Mrs. Ivan R. Oates, wife of the airplane manufacturer. Ten years ago, Mrs. Gates refused her then husband-to-be permission to pilot an airplane or to fly in one. Today she is taking Instruction herself and will be able to handle a ship herself after a few more hours of flying time. “I used to be afraid to go into the gir, but the experience 1 have had travelling from coast to coast In airplanes of the latest type has caused me to forget this fear," she declared. “In fact, riding as a passenger has become so safe that it also has become boresome." Mrs. Gates took her first ride with one of the early stunt pilots in San Francisco. It frightened her. Gates was promoting aviation at this time, and had arranged the ride. When she landed, Bhe refused to marry him unless he promised to stay out of airplanes. He promised. Flew With Husband A few months after the ceremony she caught him flying one of the planes of the Gates Flying Circus which toured America for ten years, giving exhibitions and carrying passengers. Thereafter, instead of refusing him permission to fly, which she knew would have no effect, she went with him. Still frightened, she insisted that they ‘‘crash together.” Within the last two years she has forgotten the crash idea, and is now taking instruction. Mrs. Gates, who is widely known in aeronautical circles, has flowfi hundreds of thousands of miles, visiting all of the 48 states. Probably no woman who is not a licensed pilot has flown as far. "Travelling in an airplane is best.” she said. “I’ve gotten to a point now, however, where I don’t want to go where the pilots want to go—l want to take a trip or two myself. "Traffic conditions are such that I get less and less pleasure from driving and more and more from flying."

WARNING FOR MIDDLE-AGED Harrisburg, Pa., July .1 — (UP)— “Don't go In for this Just-as-young-as 1-used-to-be- performance. ’• those of tuiddle-uge and over are warned by Dr. Theodore TV Appel, head of the State Health Department. “The business man who Is fat and forty or at least forty suddenly develops u logical enthusiasm for tennis, golf and baseball at this outdoor season,” he said. "And while such a thing as permitting one’s affection for a sport to get the better of one’s Judgment. —then something happens. "The business of imagining at 40 or 50 years of age that one is just as young as ever is a mighty poor proposition if one deliberately steps out to prove It after a winter’s physical lassitude, byway of suddenly overexercising or Indulging violently in outdoor sports. "Sunshine and exercises are among the cardinal necessities for all. But sudden exertion, or even protacted exertion that Is not so sudden ran not be indulged In safely by the middle-aged who are not accustomed to it. It Is not even good for the college man. This fact is recognized by all trainers who regulate the step-up athletic activities. “Play golf ami other outdoor games if you like them. WREN NEWS

You remember Goliath DON’T overlook the smaller advertisements in this paper. Look them over. The message which an advertisement conveys is vastly more important than the mere size of the space it fills. Some of the biggest values are often described in type no larger than ordinary news-print. THE safest method is to read all the advertisements, large and small. Experience proves that it is time wed spent. The more time you spend in preparation for shopping, the less actual time you will have to be on your feet in the stores. READ the advertisements in this paper and you will know in advance just what to buy, where to buy it, and how much you will have to pay for it. You will conserve your own energy and that of the salespeople whose job it is to wait upon you. Preshopping in the advertising columns is simply common sense. IF you have been skipping the little advertisements in this paper, decide now that you will give them, a hearing after this. It will be as much to your advantage as it will be to the advantage of the merchant or manufacturer whose name is signed to the advertisement. ” • Referring again to size, there’s a little boy in the movies whose salary makes that of many a man look like petty cash.
