GIVEN LIFE FOR LOAN

Frank Pride, overseas veteran and mechanician for the aerial circus, which was held In Indianapolis Saturday to boost the Victory loan, was instantly killed on the Speedway field when a propeller turning about 3,000 revolutions per minute struck him. He was working on the machine, making it ready for flight to circle the Indianaimlis monument when the blade struck him, and many people saw him meet death. One of his (friends, also an overseas veteran, said with reverence, while Pride was being carried away, “It is touigh luck, after a fellow goes through the air service In France without injury, comes home and gets ‘his.’ ’’ Pride was 25 years old and lived in Uniontown, Penn.
