Thousands Electrified at Darings loops and Tail Spins Yesterday. B7 3L L. HTDY. (Times Reporter. The first newspaper reportsr to 3y from BPchLgan City to Hammond.)

AND HE'S SOUE BOOSTER. Lieut. Ballard is boosting Uncle Sam : sir service. All summer he has b- n traveling from city to city with his group of mechanics doing stun'j, hauling passengers and above all signing recruits.- Last week h,e opened a campaign at LaFbrte, but moved on o Michigan City to finish out the week. Fn men signed Sunday afternoon before h-; left the place looked good to him. bu' from the interest the youths of Ham mond are showing he is due to be agreeably surprised. HIS WIPE OBJECTED. "Have newspaper man meet Ballard Michigan City Sunday noon," canie th" telegram to Sergeant Robert Cran-.er Satrday evening from Major Ryan n Indianapolis. That meant ms, according to an agreement which Sarge and I Iri'l worked out a month ago. Somehow athe time drew- near, I had hoped that th government would call off its can-.paigv but here it was face to face. True th? wife was objecting, but who would ha-. the nerve to pull such an excuse? With insurance paid up to dat? I m" Ballard at Michigan City and his ni'-tcr-of-fact way soon had me believin.: I would be titer In his ship tha.u r. home In bed. His mechanical equirno-tt' had already started for Hammond, s.1 there was nothing to hold him thrr' We headed at once for the landing fie; j and after a brief warming up the. mot r was ready for the flight.

DITTE ROB NT THAN EXPSCTID. It Was altogether difrent than hJl been expected. There was none of th convulsive, gripping or shudd'irin downward looks.' Tt's true I felt relieved that there was a tight bottiir. under my feet. Above everything sthat exhilarating sense of rush-r.-through the air which can be gained in no other way. With forty miles ahead of us at th crow files. I settled back for a half hour in the air. We were soon up 2.0fo fe-' and still climbing. Beneath stretched the sand hills, clumps of woods, tir. crooked lines indicating streams and t;i straight white bands of the stone rondWo were soon making between eight and ninety miles an hour. Balis-. t pointed down with his hand. A Nc-'-York Central express train was benea. " us. A few minutes later and it was fs.r in the rear. Farms looked like pun little lots and the whole V.-orld look."! flat. Just like you could land anywhorf Lake Michigan at our right was a bluhaze. AUTOS LXXX RABBITS. At 4,000 feet the earth looked abota' the t-atiie as at 2.000 except that thpatchwork of thc fields was smaller an 1 an automobile looked more like a rabbi i "At this height we passed over Gary. Tho I . , 1 . 1 ' . n while the city presented a scattered.' d- -serted appearance, like everybody had gone to the ball game at Hammond. Ballard had never been in this part rf the state before and thought it w.i Hammond. By yelling, hammering and 1 motioning against the terrific rush o I the air I managed to show him it wj farther west. Then East Chicago can. 1 in view. The way that place is coint r'etcly shut in by the other cities 1 at once noticeable from the air.

With a couple of wido circles in which he descended rapidly Ballard fln-il-i ly had the old ship down at a lov. level. Then skimming above tha roof of a farm house and just clearing ti. ! tassels of the corn field he glidod- lighM to the ground and came to a stop. t -.-: neck was stiff from bracing my hc.-1 against the air pressure in looking f ' the field and T was temporarily deaf ia post. But this all left in a sho--' ! time and now I am nearly as wild ovr ! it as E. N. Bunnell. j Then came the crowd.
