w-ka vn airplane from Pope Field,
at Camp Bragg, near Fayetteville,
wi;l land on the outskirts of Monroe.
The purpose of the coming of this
ship of the air to Monroe is to map
air currents, take aerial pictures of
our city, select landing places and
do other scout work looking to the
establishment of landing places for
airplanes in government, commercial
or pleasure seeking uses.
A party composed of Lieutenants
E. R. Shuman and E. N. PickeriU,
air pilots, and H. B. Cox. aerial ob
server, and Corporal Carter were In
Monroe last Friday for the purpose of
selecting a landing place for the ship.
These men are stationed at Pope
Field, Camp Bragg.
Fields which might be converted
,yto landing places for airplanes
shown them by Secretary Riddle of
the Chamber of Commerce and Mr. J.
M. Morrow, Jr. The airmen spoke
favorably of the field on the western
edce of the city, formerly used by
carnivals. Several fields on the east
ern edge of town received favorable
attention. It is understood that with
a little work either of these fields
id i - lit lie converted into a first class
la: ding place.
One of the sites Investigated by
the airmen was marked with a large
white Hag and the scout plane on its
tri,i here will descend at this point if
the owner of the field does not ob
ject. The flag is placed for the guid
ance of the pilot in control of the ma
chine. The scouting party here Friday has
visited sites near Ualeigh. Greensbo
ro, Durham, Wtnston-Salem, Lexing
ton, Charlotte, Concord and other cit
ies and it is said that conditions here
compare favorably with those at the
other poinls visited.
The plane which will come to Mon
roe will probably be piloted by either
Lieutenant Sherman or Lieutenant
PickeriU. A twenty-four hour stop
will be made here and during this
time aertal pictures of the city will
be made.
Emergency landings along the route
followed by the plane In its trip front
Camp Bragg will be marked and the
air currents mapped. This informa
tion will be gathered In an "Airplane
Bluebook," and will be available for
either government, commercial or
military uses.
Secretary Kiddle will be notified 24
hours before the ship takes flight for
Monroe. An order for a quantity of
high grade gasoline for the ship has
bern placed with one of the local
companies.
As soon as the aerial pictures ure
completed one of them will be sent
to the Chamber of Commerce and In
this manner the citizens of Monroe
will have the opportunity of seeing
Mo.iroe as it will look viewed from
an airplane a thousand feet high.
1 is thought that if sufficient In
terest Is manifested by the citizens of
the town that the visit of the scout
Idane may result in the permanent es
tablishment of a landing place here
for commercial or pleasure seeking
airplanes, or a way stop on the pro
jected air mail service to the principal
cities of the South. That no oppor
tunity may be lost. Secretary Riddle
has taken steps to see that proper at
ten'ion is given the matter. He will
appoint committees to have charge of
this. These committees, working
with Mr. Riddle, will be on the job
when the scout plane arrives within
the next two weeks.

A Woman's View of Wilson.
tLetter In New York Evening Post.)
Sir: I am only a woman, who has
had her political opinions registered
for her at the polls by her father, and
brothers, and, furthermore, I have al
ways been content to have it so; never
craved the boon (it' it is such) of wo
man suffrage, and am not overjoyid
at its arrival, in my own State.
I have, nevertheless, always taken a
deep and ru abiding 'Interest in the
political affairs of my nation, and con
fess to a preference to the prevalence
of the principles represented by the
Republican party. But I join with t'te
Republican members of my family
and many others In saluting our great
President, Woodrow Wilson, Demo
crat though he be.
As an American I am very proud
of him, and very grateful to the Prov
idence which brought him to the
"kingdom for such a time as this." I
am glad the ot ter nations of the
world recognize In him a great leader
of a great people, and are willing to
be lead b.v him. He speaks with an In
telligent foresight and clearness of
utterance not matched on the eartn
today; but that Is not all; he has also
a heart of love, and an eye of faith to
look down the years of the future and
see humanity released from the
chains of militarism, because our na
tion, under his leadership, led the way
to the League of Nations.which shall
be a permanent foundation on which
to build the peace of the world.
This league will ever bear, first and
foremost the mark of America's hand
and heart, not because we thought
selfishly, or only for ourselves, but be
cause we are big enough and Chris
tian enough to think most of the
great cause of humanity.
When the time comes for our Sen
ate to ratify this work of ours and our
President, may there be no betrayal
on the part of a single Senator, but
may each remember that they are to
be Christians first, and Americans
afterward, and partisans not at all.
Whenever I think, of the League of
Nations, I think at the same time ot
these lines of Longfellow:
Humanity with all her fears.
With all her hope for future years.
Is hanging breathless on thy fate.

PHOIOSTION TO ISSl K
SCHOOL BONDS IS EXDORSED
SjKNiker at Parent-Teacher Meeting
Friday Afternoon Strew! Xeed of
New High School Building Mrs.
W. I', 4'romell Fleeted President of
Organization.
The proposition to vote fSu.MOO of
bonds to be usud in the construction
of a modern high school building for
Monroe was heartily endorsed at a
meeting of the Parent-Teachers As
sociation held Friday afternoon.
The meeting was opened with prav-
er b.v Dr. Gurney. In stating the pur
pose of the meeting Prof. R. W. Al
len called attention to the fact that a
modern high school building had
been a crying need of our city for a
number of years.
The following musical program was
carried out : The Rosary, piano and
violin, Mrs. H. R. Laney and Master
Yates Laney; vocal duet, Mrs. J. F.
Laney and daughter, Mrs. Heath Lee;
piano solo. Miss Rebecca Norwood.
Mrs. R. B. Redwlne read a paper,
which provided ample food for
thought.
Addressing the meeting, Mr. W. B.
Love, chairman of the school board,
paid special attention to the needs of
the school, and of the working in har
mony of the parents and teachers.
Dr. H. E. Gurney came out strong
ly for the erection of a new high
school building. He spoke of the nu
merous improvements which he had
witnessed in Monroe since becoming
a citizen several years ago. The ide;;
was expressed that if we will contin
ue to improve our city we must have
a modern high school wherein the
minds of the future citizens may be
improved.
Prof. A. W. White emphasized the
necessity of the teacher and the pa
rent ngnting together for the up
building of the school. Little can be
done where the parent does not co
operate with the teacher.
One of the most Interesting talks
of the meeting was delivered by Mrs.
V. C. Crowell. She made valuable
suggestions for the remedying of the
present conditions.
Secretary Riddle of the Chamber
of Commerce called attention to the
approaching bond election for the
school and told the wives present to
see to lt that their husbands did not
fail to go to the polls and cast their
votes in favor of the new school.
Mrs. W. C. Crowell was elected
president of the association and Mrs.
Roscoe Phlfer secretary. Four vice-
presidents will be appointed by Mrs
Crowell to assist her in her work.
The domestic science class, taught
by Miss Tate, served fruit.
Strong Hole For Enid Bennett
"Partners Three"
In
One of the best photoplay stories
ever furnished . Enid Bennett, the
Thos. H. luce star, as a Paramount
picture which will be shown at the
Strand Theatre next Wednesday.
The action revolves about Agnes
Cuyler, who, at the opening of the
picture, is discovered to be a cabaret
dancer. Accepting an offer of marri
age b.v a Westerner to escape a dis
tasteful existence, she jumps from the
frying pan Into the fire.
She finds her husband is a brute,
who, in' a drunken humor, abandons
her on the desert. She is picked up
by a prospector, who secures her a
position as waitress in a railroad res
taurant. Here she falls In love with
a sickly youth, and because of her
sympathy and care for him, is practi
eally driven back to the desert. The
two find a haven In the adobe hut
with the prospector.
Her husband, recovering from a
sudden illness, fears the consequence
for deserting his wife and starts out
to find her. He conies upon the trio
just as they have struck pay dirt, and
plans to fraud them of their claim
He is foiled by the prospector, who
recognizes in him an enemy of for
mer days, and takes his revenge, leav
ing Agnes free to hearken to the
pleadings of the youth, who has re
covered his health under her care,
Miss Bennett is supported by a
well-chosen cast. The picture was d
reeled by Fred Niblo under the super
vision of Thomas H. Ince.

One of the season's prettiest home
weddings was solemnized last Satur

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lee, when Miss
Jennie Summerlin became the bride
of Mr. Charles Wrlston Scales. Rev.
John A. Wray performed the ceremo
ny, using the ring service,
Simplicity was the keynote of the
occasion and only the close friends
and relatives were present. The Lee
home was unusually beautiful, cut
flowers being used us decorations.
Miss Nora Lee, the maid of honor,
gowned in white Talt'eta and carrying
pink sweet peas, entered with little
Miss Burdette Scales, a niece of the
groom, who carried the ring in a lily.
The bride was beautiful in a gown of
while georgette and a large Batten
berg hat and carried a boquet of
bride's roses.
Miss Jean Ashcraft played the wed
ding march and Mrs. G. F. Rutzler,
Jr.. of Charlotte sang "Because" just
before the ceremony.
Mr. and irs. Scales have many
friends who presented them with a
number of beautiful presents. Since
the death of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
M. P. Summerlin, Mrs. Scales has
made her home with her aunt, Mrs.
J. 11. Lee. She has a friendly dispo

bohood was spent in Monroe and
he has many friends here. He
now holds a responsible position
with the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. Mr, and Mrs.
Scales left immediately after the cer
emony for Charlotte where they will
make their future home.
Why Pershing Is "Black Jack."
(George Mac Adam in World's Work)
There has been a good deal of mys
tery as to when and why Pershing got
the nickname "Black Jack." He is a
pronounced blond. What suggested
to his foster-christeners the label
"Black?"
I have talked with army officers,
old friends of Pershing, who have
expressed the belief that the name
was simply invented by some news
paper man who believed that a man
with a picturesque career should
have a picturesque handle to his
name; ever since Pershing's military
achievements in the Philippines put
his name In the newspapers chronic
lers of his doings have presented him
to the public as "Black Jack" Persh
ing. The use of this sobriquet has al
ways sounded a certain note of ad
miration, as though Pershing, the
soldier, were possessed of the same
deadly wallop as is that deadly little
weapon whose name he shares

AMERICAN SEAPLANES SAFE
X.C. 4 Landed Without Mishap At
Hoilu While the X. ('. I Was Bad
ly Damaged and Towed In X, ('.
:i Missing For Sixty Hour Arrived
At Ponta Delgada Last Night.
The crews of the American sea
planes attempting the trans-Atlantic
flight are safe but two of the ma
chines are badly damaged and exten
sive repairs must be made before the
next leg of the journey is begun. The
N. C. 4 landed withous mishap on the
Island of Horta and is now groomed
and waiting for favorable weather to
take flight again. The N. C. 1 was
forced to the open sea by a fog when
a few miles of the objective point.The
crew was picked up by the cruiser
Columbia and the machine being bad
ly damaged and entirely out of the
race. ....
After weathering a 60-mile gale
and heavy seas, the missing seaplane
NC-3, flagship of the American naval
trans-atlantlc flight squadron, enter
ed Ponta Delgada harbor Monday un
der her own power nearly 60 hours
from the time she was forced down
by fog when almost In sight of the
Azores on the record-breaking flight
from New Foundland for Lisbon and
Plymouth, England.
Searching battleships and destroy
ers were scourinf the seas and naval
officials had all -out abandoned hope
for the safety of the flying ship and
her crew of live when warships at
Ponta Delgada saw the plane taxie
ing across the water headed for the
flight objective in the Azores.
The story of the plucky fight the
flight commander and his men were
forced to make for two days and
nights was not expec.ed at navy of
ficials realized that tha aviators must
have been almost exhausted when
they reached their haven.
With the crew safe the matter of
greatest moment was the condition
of the plane and whether it would
be able to continue t'ae flight to Lis
bon. As news of Commander Tower's
safety spread through the navy de
partment, a feeling of relief followed
it, for It ment that not only had 17
officers of the American army flung
themselves through more than 1.200
sea miles of space to arrive safely at
a tiny island group in mid-ocean, but
that American seaplane construction
had stood the test of storm on the
surface as well as having conquered
the air.
It had been a saying of the service
that the planes were built to ride any
seas in which they could land. The
NC 3 did more than that. She rode
out a gale that Is said to have ap
proached a 90-mile rate at times and
came serenely taxing Into port having
kept steadily on her general under
guidance of her skilful crew.
Mishaps Worse Than War
The casualty list of men. women
and children who met death by acci
dent In the United States In the 19
months this country was at war with
the Central Empires was more than
twice as large as the list of American
soldiers who were reported killed or
missing on the battlefields, according
to Frank E. Morris, field secretary of
the National Safety Council.
The lastest authentic figures to be
obtained show that 66,227 American
soldiers were killed or reported miss
ing and more than 200,000 were In
jured." said Morris. Appalling as
those figures are, statistics on acci
dents here In peaceful America, dur
ing these months show 126,564 men,
women and children were killed by
accidents in the home, on the streets
and In the industries, while more
than 2.000 so seriously injured that
they lost four weeks of time or were
permanently matned.
