From the days when he was big enough to peer through the fence, the track fascinated him. ‘When automobile racing started, the driving park was his mecca. llil‘ crowning ambition was to drive a, racing automobile. He reached “hisy goal when he was clghteen years uf age. At that tlme he was sent to| Texas by a local automobile concern, in whose factory he had been work- h‘s' to demonstrate its speedsters. ol then on his career was [} meteoric. He became one of the best known autoinobile racers in the coun- mekenhlc)\er entered the world war as chauffeur to Gen. Pershing. His £i88 to American ace of aces was as sensational as the jump from the ob- scurity of his Columbus home to the highest pifinacle of racing fame. Rickenbacher became a part of the A. F. after a series of rebuffs. When the Unitéd States entered the war he was in England buying racing cars. He immediately returned to this country and offered his services. He tried to get governmental sanction to a plan of his to enlist a flying 8squadron from amang racing drivers! of the country, but Army officials turmed the proil.r down. I A few wecks later Rickenbacher was on his way overséas as chauffeur | to Gen. Pershing. A short time after arriving abroad he was in an aviation !rllnlng camp, placed there through the personal intervention of Gen. Pershing. Bags First German. Rickenbacher bagged his first Ger- man early in 1918. Within a month he had won the erolx de guerre, and despite his delayed entrance into avia- i || tlon, he was the second American to| be given the title of ace. At this juncture he met with an || accident that nearly ended his career as a fiyer. || _His ear drums were split as the || result of a 6.000-foot fall which came after a singleshanded fight against three German planes. The tip of | one of the wings of the plane; Rickenbacher was piloting was car- ried away by a hostile Fokker, and he plunged to earth. He was pro- nounced incapacitated for further service. The former racing driyer refused to be put out of the running, and carried his case direct to Gen. Pershing. The latter ruled that he still might fight. ‘When he became a captain Ricken- bacher commanded the famous Hat- in the-Ring squadron. His victories continued to pile up, one after the other, until he was acclaimed American ace of aces.

If the European or American turns his head to catch a glimpse of the women, they hurriedly pull the vell closer, 80 only the eyes can be seen, The older the woman, the closér the veil is drawn. tom,” explained a Turkish officer traveling with the correspondent. In the nationalist capital of An- B0fa, Halide Hanum Mufide Ferid Hanum, the author and wife of the former minister of finance, and many other women who came out from Constantinople to support the natlonalist movement, go about the streets or ride on horseback with their vells turnea back and folded into a handsome headdress, mod-' eled after the Russian style. Maintain Old Custom. But outside of Angors, despite the example set by American ‘women of charity organizations, or of the example of Greek and Ar- menian women, most of the Turk- ish women strictly maintain the old custom.
