Aviators Delight In Job.

are joy* in fiytug w hich not even war

There is still some popular mlsunder-

the average Imagination that the ca-

The truth is that fighting in the air
and dropping boml« form a very smalt
pert of tbe fiyiug man's business. His
main occupation is to get information
j about the enemy and to prevent the eu-

but the facts are hidden from tbe

It was tbe Germans who first saw
bow the aviator could control the fire
of the big guns. They knew it long
before the- war started, and In the
early days of tbe march through Bel-
gium the Belgian defense lb the field
was quickly broken down because of
tbe accuracy of the shrapnel fire di-
rected by taubes overhead.
Much of tbe land between the Ger-
mans aud allies In Flanders now is ab-
solutely flat There is no ridge or emi-
nence to command the plain that
stretches league after league on every
side, with something of the vast monot-
ony of tbe open sea. Without aerial
observation artillery fire would be-
largel.v a matter of pure guesswork In
such a country. With the aid of the
flying scout a quite Invisible target is
reached with a high degree of pre-
cision.
Tbe labor and organization required
to keep an aeroplane fleet ready for
action hardly can be conceived by tbe
uninitiated. The engine* and frame-
work of the modern machine are pret-
ty -substantial, and it may Mirprise
many ]/ersons to know that many of
the aeroplanes employed at the begin-
ning of the war are still in use and
quite effective. Many of them have
sj»ent the winter In the ojieu air prac-
tically all the time. Violent gales and
exposure to night air huve not ruined
them.
Still there Is need of constant repair.

New Y'ork.— A new children's
hospital, the gift of, Mrs. Anna
Woerishoffer. was opened here yes-
terday. It is named the Dr. Jacobi
Hospital, in recognition of the fame
of Dr. Abraham Jacobi, the nestor
of rediatrics in this country, who
is now 85 vears old. Mrs. Woerish-
offer gave *100,000 toward the hos-
pital, which- is fashioned after Ger-

agreement was signed by the woman
in return for ten dollars. loaned
frem the pawnbroker. The unusual
agreement also says that the woman
can buy ba'ck the agreement for ten
dollars at any time. The court
must now sav whether the agree-
ment is worth ten dollars.
Eerlin.—Cne of the hardest work-
ing. volunteers in the hospitals for
wotyided soldiers is Countjss tna
von Bassetitz. the nioreanle wile
of Prince Oscar, the fifth son of
the Kaiser. The pretty romance
of the orince and the noblewoman
had many interruptions, and it
seemed for a time that the bars of
royal custom .were to keep them
apart forever. The prince is now
at the front, while his morganatic
wife is patiently working under the
rigors of war times in the hospitals.
The t’omitess is highly talented, anil
her father w?s Minister of Foreign
Affairs and president of the council
of state for Mecklenburg-Sehwerin.
When she was chosen one of the
ladies-in-waiting on the Empress
she became'greatly endeared to the
royal family. When Prince Oscar
woed her. he met with opposition
from his father, and Count von Bas
sewitz refused to have his daughter
become a morganatic wife. But
the voung Prince won the affection
of the count, and through his
mother and sister brought influence
to bear with the Kaiser to allow
tho marriage. Everything was set
for a brilliant wedding In October
when the war broke-out last August
and the young Frinee would not
take th© field before the wedding.
The Emperor and Empress wera
presfnt at the nuptials, and soon af-
terwards the young lovers were sep-
arated bv the war.
