James Oliver Curwood's love for the outdoors, and particularly for the great of upper Michigan, life and his work as & t. He wrote of outdoor men and women and moved them across a stage that usually set in the big woods limning their lies with a serene: born of his own experiences. It was the forests that rose in dark grandeur along Michigan’s northern bounds of the inspiration for his novels which he wrote with clocklike regularity “The Coura; first novel, was written in 190S. Fr then on novels flowed from his pern there followed “The Wolf Hunte 1908; “The Great Laki Gold Hunters,” both written in 1904; “The Danger Trail,” 1910; *“The Honor of the Big Snows,” and “Philip Steele of the Royal Mounted,” written in 1911, Others of his novels included “Ka- zan,” 1914; “Nomads of the North, 1919; “The Valley of Silent Men,” 1920, and “The Flaming Forest,” 1921 A zealous crusader for conservation of natural resources, Curwood was considered an authority on the Cana- dian northland. and was ths only American ever employed by the Canadian government as an_explora- tory and descriptive writer. He made periodic trips into the North woods end northern Canada in that capacity. Gov. Fred W. Green appointed him a member of the Michigan Conserva- tion Commission, and he fought vigor- ously for conservation of Michigan forests. Descendant of Marryat. * Mr. Curwood was a direct descend- ant on his father's side of Capt. Mar- ryat, the English novelist. And from his mother's side he inherited a cer- tain amount of Indian blood—possibly with it the high cheek bones revealed by James Montgomery Flagg's por- trait. Between the ages of 6 and 14 Curwood lived on a 40-acre stone quarry, which his father fondly be- lieved to be a farm when -he origi- nally purchased it. It was close to the shores of Lake Erie and behind it were big woods.and swamps. At the age of 8 Curwood was the DOS- sessor of a gun. The influence of every one of these elements is very easily traceable in every one of his successful books, and it came natu- rally to him in “The Country Beyond,” to speak of a patch of woodland in which the. heroine lived as being only a rifle shot in width.” He confessed that he began writing | at the age of 9 and that one of his earliest manuseripts ran a hundred chapters. in a large majority of which sundry Indians and outlaws met vio- lent ends. He had a reputation as a marksman and hunter when he was 11 years old, and it later contributed to- ‘ward expulsion from high school; he paid more attention to nature and Hunting than to classroom schedules. 1t finally made up for this catastrophe, ‘however, by paying his way through the University of Michigan. He earn- ed his tuition fees there by burying himself in a big Michigan swamp and becoming a successful young trapper. That ability, he believes, was an In- dian inheritance. Betting Incident Recalled. At the University of Michigan he became local correspondent for a number of newspapers, and in this manner helped pay his bills. Also he learned a lesson which could easily provide a fine incident in the plot of one of those novels that go in strong for psychology. It was at a foot ball game between the University Michigan and a rival college. Cur- wood was the possessor of $10. He was a hard-working youth who had never gambled, but partisan enthu- slasm got the best of him and he bet half his cash that the rival team “wouldn’t win.” The original plunge into gambling made him reckle: another boy of the opposing dared him to bet the other $5. He did,_ the stakeholder admitting this bet had been unconsciously d: _“T| of clan SPECIAL NOTICE. A 1 WILL NOT unless contracted 1 TRUM. Clarendon.

I am a good sailor but this was too much for me.” Among Count Solms-Laubach’s rela- ives who were awaiting the Ger- mania’s arrival, were his wife, the Countess Johanna; her mothsr, the Princess Emma, who was related to the late Russian Czar, and Princess Emma’s sister, the Princess Elizabeth. There were also Count Solms-Lau- bach’s mother, sister, two brothers and uncle, as well as several cousins and friends from outside the family. A sister biplane of the Germania ar- rived from Travemuende carrying re- serve parts and other necessary equip- ment for the Germania. This plane encountered such heavy, weather that it was forced to fly over Dutch terri- tory to avoid the worst of the electric storms. - SCHURMAN BIDS FAREWELL. Koennecke Spends Last Few Minutes In Berlin With Children. BERLIN, August 13 (®).—The trans- atlantic expedition of the Caspar bi- plane, manned by Lieut Otto Koen- necke and Count Solmslaubach, today went into its first stage when the plane Germania hopped off for Col- ogne where it will be refueled in preparation for the actual transoce- anic take-off. United States Ambassador Jacob Gould Schurman, speaking in Ger- man to the aviators, said that he was glad to find them well equipped for their great adventuro and told them, both the men and the machires inspired the utmost confidence. The departmental chiefs of the min- istry of transport bade farewell to the fiyers in behalf of the government, New Magneto Installed. The need of extra adjustments to the Germania, after a test flight of 25 minutes to try out two new mag- netos, delayed the departure to Co- logne for an hour and a half, much to the delight of Lieut. Koennecke's two small children, why were in charge of a nursemaid and were in no hurry for their father's departure. To the last moment, Lieut. Koen- necke carried his 2-year-old baby, Rudy, in his arms, with 5-year-old Iise clinging to his hand, The airmen meanwhile were be- sieged by autograph hunters and good- naturedly took a score of visiting cards to deliver to the Steuben Society and private friends.

The report that Dieugonne Coste planned to bring his plane, “Nunges- ser-Coli,” to Le Bourget this evening in order to be ready to take the air as soon as the weather made it feasi- ble, and the announcement that Leon Givon, pilot of the Bluebird, was de- termined to start at the earliest mo- ment, however, created the impres: sion 'that some one of them would be off early in the morning.

Maurice _Drouhin, engaged by Charles A.

Tango Bird Has Difficulty. The pilots shook their heads doubt- fully at the weather reports, and the group of regular spectators’ at long- distance hop-offs went home, and the crowd dispersed. Paul Tarascon, however, continued his test flights, his plane, the Tango Bird, although only partly loaded, get- ting into the air with difficulty. This, however, was possibly due to a sud- den gust of wind. Givon’s Bluebird, the ship which Drouhin originally had planned to pllot, carried a full load for the first time in its test this afternoon and got off the ground unusually fast in 15 seconds.

REDFERN IS GIVEN DIETICIAN'S CARE Brunswick-Brazil Pilot to .Carry Medicine in Case He Lands in Jungle. By the Associated Press, * BRUNSWICK, Ga., August 13.— Fuel for the pilot may often be as important as fuel for the plane, thinks Paul Redfern, Georgia aviator, who is waiting favorable winds and weather for his take-off on a projected noif stop flight to Brazil. Redfern is dieting to store up strength for the endurance test, his meals being supervised by a graduate dieticlan and home economics expert, Mrs. C. M. Ward. Appetite Is Tempted. “On account of the nervous strain which he is expected to be under, it is but natural that he would have but little appetite,” Mrs. Ward said. “'I am therefore endeavoring to include among his assortment of food such dishes as will stimulate his appetite. I have recommended that he rise early every morning.” Meanwhile the youthful aviator dis- cussed his safety devices, which he is certain will prove efficient if he should be forced down at sea or on land. He will take a parachute and has ar- ranged his emergency kits so they can quickly be snapped onto his person in case he is forced to jump. If he should be forced to land in the Amazon jungles, Redfern believes he can exist for an indefinite period. He is carrying a good supply of quinine with which to fight jungle fever and has a vial of potassium permanganate for snake bites. Activities around Redfern’s head- quarters here today indicated that the fiyer is planning to start very soon. Messages were sent to.the Pioneer Instrument Co. of New York asking that a factory expert be sent to make a final check of the plane’s instru- ments. Another message of similar text was sent to the manufacturers of the Wright whirlwind motor, with which the plane is powered. SHIPS IN LINE OF FLIGHT. Twelve to Be Between Hawaii and Mainland .

Police conducted two ralds yester- day afternoon, arrested five men and charged them with setting up gaming tables, and took the names of over 30 persons found in both places as Gov- ernment witnesses. Card games were reported in progress in both. The first raid was conducted at 126 H street, where police gained entrance through an automatic electric door. They arrested three men, who gave their names and addresses as Sam Breaman, 23 years old, 1237 Shepherd street; Kenneth J. Veatch, 28 years old, of 1219 T street, and Jacob A. Mererman, 28 years old, of 809 E street.

By the Associated Press. o NEW YORK, August 13.—Rhine. lander Waldo, former_police and fire commissioner of New York, died today at his home at Garrison, N. Y., after a year's illness. He was 49 years old. Waldo served in the Philippines, going to the islands in 1899, with the rank of second lieutenant, Before he returned to New York in 1905 he ha been made captain of the Philippine Scouts. He saw service overseas in the ‘World War as a colonel after serving in training camps with the rank of major. His first connection with the New York police department was in 1906, when he was made deputy police com- missioner. In 1910 he was made fire commissioner. The next year, Mayor Gaynor appointed him to_the post of police commissioner. He resigned that position in 1913, He was active in _politics in this city for many vears and was a close friend of President Coolidge. The direct cause of Mr. Waldo's death was a cold which he contracted a few days ago riding to Garrison from his home at the Carlton Aparte ment here. Before that he had been active and seemingly on the way to recovery from his former fliness. HMis home at Garrison, covering more than 6,000 acres, was one of the show places of the town. Mr. Waldo is survived by his widow. ‘There are 600 boys in the Fort Mone roe C. M. T.
