THURSDAY. APRHL 26. 1917, A chines getting up 6,000 feet in seven : RUTHLAW WANTS TOFIGHT GERMANS “] Am at the Servico of My Gountry,” She Says. INSISTS ON: DUTY AT FRONT Diminutive Aviator, Back From Trip to England and France, Says Our Aero- planes Are Too Heavy—Praise For Young Men Who Have Turned Out For Aviation Training. “I am at the service of my country for fiying duty at any moment I may be callegd upon,” said Miss Ruth Law, aviator; sas she came into part after several months spent in England and France observing the latest methods of using -aeroplanes in warfare. “I am willing to fly a fast little scout machine alone, traveling 120 or 150 miles an hour, or I'll drive a heavier machine carrying a gun and gunner and..go into actual battle with the en- emy;” added the diminutive holder of the Chicago-New York flight record. ‘“That’s what I'd like to do more than anything—get right into the fight. “The only request I shall make of thie government when I offer my serv- ices formally is that 1 be sent to the front, wherever it is. Above all things I'd like to go to the front in France it America sends any soldiers over “there. “If we have a woman congressman, why can’t we bave a woman fighting , aviator?” she demanded. Record Shows Her Ability. Of Miss Law’s ability there is no question. Her performances prove that. She holds the altitude mark for a wo- man~—nearly 12,000 feet—and the cross country American record for either sex. “I am arranging to get a Morane- Saulnier monoplane from France and am willing to enter it in the service of the United States,” Miss Law continu- ed. “That is the fastest plane in use in Burope. I had a flight over Paris in a two seater with Robert Morane, the inventor. I thought I had flown fast before, but my eyes were opened by the speed of that bus.” The little queen of the air was en- thusiastic in her praise of the way in which young men of England and France had turned out for aviation training. She displayed a picture of one of the French fields at Le Bourget, near Paris, where there are 150 han- gars and 100 machines in each hangar. “I never dreamed there were so many aeroplanes in the world,” she said. “Why, they buzz over the city of Paris almost like mosquitoes. “You'll see a big triplane carrying a crew of three or four men and @& three inch gun, surrounded by twenty or thirty fast little planes armed with machine guns to protect the big fel- lows.” Met the Famous Guynemer. Miss Law tried to get to the fighting front, but was permitted no farther than Compiegue, close to where the Germans were turned away from their march toward Paris carly in the war. “I met all the boys of the Lafayette escadrille, the American flying group,” she said, “and I had the privilege of chatting with the greatest fighting flier of all, Lieutenant Guynemer, who has shot down more than thirty fliers. He gave me a ring fashioned from the but- ton of a German airman’s coat.” Comparing the foreign aeroplanes with those in use here, Miss Law said ours are entirely too heavy. The Eng- lsh and [rench machines are very much lighter aud therefore easier to handle and capable of far greater speed. “Just think of those Morane ma- minutes,” she said. “Many of them can climb almost a thousand feet a minute, and it took me an hour and a half to get up to 12,000 with my little old bi- plane when I made the altitude rocord. Our materials and bodies should be re- fined and lightened.” The little aviator said American men by the thousands ought to be turning out for air service right now, particu- larly for coast defense duty. “I saw a wonderful new bit of trick fiying at Le Bourget,” she went on. “It is a stunt called ‘le vrille' (the gim- let). While the machine is on a level the head stands still, and then the tail whirls around and around. It is done by jamming the rudders. But with all the fancy flying I saw 1 still believe the best trick aviator 1 ever behold was Lincoln Beachey, ourown Yankee boy."” Miss Law brought back with her a French trench dog called Pollu, who saw much actual fighting and was wounded several times. He wears a minlature steel helmet. e L = | with the tourists at all times. Over the || ®Talk about light, fluffy, tempting and wholesome Jelly Rolls, Cakes, Biscuitsandother good things!

Pionea: . . . o Uric Acid Poisoning! The most eminent physicians recog- nize that uric acid stomgf up in the gystem is the cause of rheumatism, that urie acid poison is present in the joints, mus- cles, or nerves. By experimenting and u%uis at the Invalids’ Hotel Sur- i Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. jerce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called Anuric—which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and in- flammation subside. If you are a sufferer feom rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric ncis; or send Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial pkg. Anuric which you will find potent than lithia and acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince Anuric is a regular insurance and life~ saver for all big meat eaters and those who defimt lime-salts in_their joints. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets for the liver and bowels have been favorably known for nearly 50 years. A PROMINENT ST. PAUL WOMAN. 8t.
