Route No. 12. in 1926, Mrs. Byrd . went into the country, keeping her address g se- cret. After seeing here husband off on his transatlantic flight she went into seclusion at her home here. When she went to New York to meet her husband on his return from his polar and transatlantic flights she remained in the back- ground. But while Mrs. Byrd has sought ho share in the honor that has been heaped upon her husband, Com- mander Byrd himself after his flight to France paid deep tribute to her and to his mother as full partners in his adventures. “Iindeed,” he said, “I should have gone mad but for two things. First; my mother's sharing in my fondest hopes, and second, my wife’s adroit discoverey of the compelling urge within me, which I thought I was concealing. Promptlf® thereon she acquiesced in my’ taking up these hazardous efforts in deadly earnest."” ‘When he returned safely from the North Pole, and again when he landed safely in France, he said he thought: “Well, again this little family partnership has been suc. cussful, leaving body and mind able to try some other worthwhile thing.” Although Mrs. Byrd has never made known publicly her feelings toward the hazardous undertakings in which her husband is engaged, members of her houschold say that she is as courageous as she is mod- est. At the time of the polar tlight a nurse in the Byrd home said, “Her_ worry since Commander Byrd's departure has been some- thing tremendous, but ghe has nev- er winced and has been confident all the time that he would be suc- cessful.” Before her marriage Mrs. Byrd ‘was Miss Marle Donaldson Ames of Boston. She was married to Com- mander Byrd at Winchester, Va., i "V\ i PRICES ARE LOWER .

Sullivan, prison telephone cpera- tor. Miss Sullivan said that the expe- rience no more exciting than being caught between a barrage of angry voices at the switchboard. Charles P.
