This young lady has two in ter esting brothers, but they do not mono- plize all the interesting persons of that family by any m eans. T h e s e two young m e n began some th r e e years ago, to build areoplanes right at home. They worked hard, faithfully aud intelligently and therefore suc ceeded. T h e re is a seventeen acre tract n e a r th e ir home and this gave them space to fly. So A rthur and A lbert H e inrich formed the H e inrich A reoplane Com pany and began doing business. This business consisted of building the m a chines, teaching pupils to operate them, giving exhibition flights and do ing a passenger business. T h e last consists of taking people up for a flight. T h e company builds and oper ates m o n o p la n e s only. Miss V o ilet could hardly w a it to tell these prosaic details. H e r brother had taken her up for a flight and she had not recovered from the en th u s iasm yet. And she told the story bet ter than any editor who has never left the earth for one m inute, literally or spiritually in all his fife. \Y’es A lbert has prom ised me a flight for a long tim e and T h u rsday afternoon he sa ‘d I m ight go. We went up over 1,200 feet and w ere in the air about twelve m inutes. \I was not conscious when the plane left the earth. I was not conacloua that we did leave it. T h e e a r th quiet ly sank aw a y from us and glided along to show us hoyv beautiful it was. And it was beautiful. I never realized It before. It was like a great grand pic ture only more real, y h e gardens, the flowers, the trees, the houses, the sea away in one direction, the sound In the other. Autom obiles looked about as large as spiders, men, tiny little ants. A house caught fire and burned w h ile we were in the air. I never really knew how grand a Are was before. \W e w e n t around the field three times, I never once w a n ted to come down. I would take alm o s t any risk to go again. 1 am going again. “Ok, yes, we could see Freeport and all the villages around here. The reservoir looked like a b right quarter laid on an im m ense beautiful counter. There w a s another areoplane about 100 feet aw ay. The young m a n oper ating it had called at our house, so I waved to him, but A lbert said he was in an air pocket and bad no tim e for girls If we all get to flying I don’t suppose th e re would be a bit of tim e to flirt. But they will get steadied m a chines, a t least I hope so. W ell, Al bert would come down. I really be lieve 1 would be up there yet, but Al bert waa boss—for this tim e. And we landed as light as a sea gull on the w ater. In fact 1 did not know when we touched the earth, \Yes the boys are aw fully busy. Calm days they take up passengers, $12.50 for single trip, tw o for $25.00. And its funny. The fat people all want to go up pud the lean little ones want to stay on the ground. It w a si* 50-horse pow e r motor. And 50 hors es all kicking together could certainly push the air some. It seem e d as If It would blow my arm off when I put It out over the side of the m achine. Oh, of course, the boys will com pete iu that governm e n t exhibition and teat th a t will come off some tim e in the fall. They are building a m a chine now th a t they hope the govern m ent will like well enough to buy. They also hope to get o rd e rs from for eign countries. Ttyey are aw fully good boys, straig h t and honest, and work hard. They w'on’t take passenger* up when they think there le any risk. ’’Oh, I’ve enjoyed telling you all about It. It w a s great. W h e n I fly again I will oome and tell you about I t \ _ ----- , , , -a
