Where regular routes have been established, airplane travel Is becoming as matter of course as taking a t land bus. Especially fa this true of short hops. I sometimes think that women take more naturally to air travel than men. Most of the males only wish to get somewhere in a burry. The women like it because it is modern and up to date and because they Just naturally go in for the higher things of life. Women not only patronize the commercial air lines, but they take their pets. • • • While flying back to New York from Philadelphia recently, 1 S!,t opposite a woman who had what evidently was something alive wrapped ih her coat.

Thrills in Undersea Photography

New York.—J. E. Williamson. pioneer undersea photographer, who re- ’ turned recently after several months passed In studying and photographing sharks In the waters around Nassau, told of a vast school <»f. sharks that attacked his diving labors tory with such ferocity that he feared they would break the heavy glass win dow of the steel sphere. Mr. Williamson was accompanied by his wife and their nineteen months' old daughter. “Captain" Sylvia, Like her father, Sylvia never tires of life on the ocean bed arid has passed a good . part of her young life beneath the surface of the sea. peering through the window of the three ton diving ball which Mr. Williamson uses for his marine studies.

eyes, and, after the motors began to roar, a worse scared dog I never saw. As far as it was concerned, airplanes were a bust. It was too horrified to hark, or even to whine. When the plane landed, that dog was more than willing to be the first ashore. • • • Speaking of pets. L heard a story concerning William M. director of the National .Zoological Park In Washington. Mr. Mann purchased a home in the Capital’s first co-oper-ative apartment house. A paragraph of the purchase agreement provided that no owner would keep any pet without first obtaining the permission of the directors. Mr. Mann applied for permission t<> keep a pet In his apartment. The pet he named was a lion. Within fifteen minutes after the written request hnd been received, most of the directors were ringing Mr. Mann's doorbell. There was the pet. in a corner of the dining room, drinking milk from a saucer. It seerfis that a lioness with a couple of cubs had gone bad and killed one of them. Mr. Mann had rescued the other and taken It home. ~ Rasche Brothers wrote niVjmt long ago, concerning a pet I could have for my apartment. This one would have to be stuffed. It seems they are in possession of an elephant’s hide, green and salted. I am assured that I could have it tanned and finished. After that. I suppose 1 could have It set up and use It as 1 knick-knaOk for the mantlepiece. i A certain theatrical star has some valuable Jewelry and likes )to wear it. One day she was warned to put her jewels In a safe deposit box and leave them there for a few months. It seems that she had met a young fellow with patent leather hair and a talent for dancing. She used o go to night club* with him. but what she didn't know was that he worked with a gang who j-ob women. On a specified evening lie was’to get her to an appointed place, there would be a holdup, and his friends would botrow her rings and necklace. The warning came indirectly through a real friend, who once hap pened to do a racketeer a favor. • • • • Radio broadcasting stations provide against any accidents to performers.

The photographer, who left last May, Mid that he had picked an Ideal >;•<>! to study the sharks of the Batulmus. but for two months he sat In his steel bail, gazing at the baited waters, with sharks few, and far between. The spot, he said. Is known locally as "The Tongue of the Ocean.” and is a cut a mile deep between Andrus and New Providence Islands. He discovered later that the sharks leave that vicinity during June and July. One day In August he had fifty gallons of animal blood dumped Into the water for balt and descended into his ball. Suddenly a school of mackerel sharks, led by a big hammerhead, swain before his glass" window. On tasting the bait the sharks became frantic, rushing about like mad dogs and beating against the diving bell until it shook and strained with the weight of their bodies. As ithe sharks became more excited large splotches appeared on their sides. Although anxious for the pictures the photographer began to fear for his safety. From the boat above a baited hook was lowered, which was immediately grabbed by a shark. The others, upon seeing his predicament, started to tear him to pieces. Then the roj>e broke and the wounded shark swam away, with the pack following In his wake. The photographer breathed a sigh of relief. In an effort to provide human bait for sharks that straighten out books as big as an umbrella handle. Mr. Williamson attempted to coax two negro divers to go down and fight the sea beasts. He said that be offered huge sums of money but the offers were met only with refusals. Finally the deal was about completed when the younger diver, who was atxiut to be married, was offered a full dress suit. Think of It.” Mr. Williamson told v

O stretching as far as the eye could reach as I knew them when I was a boy. When I was twelve or fourteen some young cousins of ours, who had been born in the city, came down to the country to visit us. They had never seen corn growing or a harvest field or vegetables of any sort excepting as they were brought home from the market. They had never been on a horse's hack, or even so much as laid their hands on one. They knew little about milk excepting that it came in hotties left on the back porch by the milkpian very early in the morning, and they had never had the delicious pleasure of looking for wild strawberries along the hedge rows. They had been born and had grown up in a congested city community and the country had been for them only a name and a vague reality. I shouldn't have missed llriqg In the country for anything.

consists of a judgment against the Ann by which Stuertz was employed at the time of his, accidental death. Mr. and Mrs. Casper Stpertz, mother and father of the accident victim, contend they are entitled to one-half of the estate on the ground the child never lived. The mother claimed that the baby was born alive and that she and the baby are the only heirs. At the hearing attorneys for the mother contended that heart action was sufficient proof of life, while attorneys for Mr. and Mrs. Casper Stuertz claimed proof of respiration action was necessary to establish life. Dr. J. J. Loomis, who attended the mother at the hospital, Testified that the child’s heart beat for 10 to 20 minutes after birth. This, he claimed, established life. Dr. W, C. Beck'erm maintained a child must breathe before it is alive. Dr. P. H. Bartholomew, director of the state board of health and custodian of vital statistics, introduced records made by Doctor Loomis Ln which he reported the child "still bom.’’ Loomis explained that he took the term to mean death of a child shortly after birth as well as the time of birth. On the basis of this testimony County Judge Robin R. Reid must determine the status of the fhild as an heir and the validity of the mother’s claim to the estate. The case, which was declared by Judge Reid to be without precedent in his court, despite a large number of cases involving posthumous births, has been taken under advisement.
