"Flying will affect the mental pro ceases, declared ,Chas. F. Walsh av -ator. of International repute, who flies In La, Grande July 8 and 9th, and when he gave voice to the statement It was with a two-fold meaning, as he afterwards explained. Much has been said by scientists as regards the phy sical metamorphosis which they ex pect centuries of flying will make in humankind. Little has "been said of the mental change which is bound to result, or ; which ' Is several times as probable as the, grand' supposition of the physical . transformation of man. And it was regarding this latter phase of the question that Chas. F. , Walsh expressed himself recently. .' the .scientific theory of the enlarge ment of the heart by centuries of fly ing and the suggested growth of a soft down over the body, as iwell as the supposed development of a double pro cess of breathing. In these theories, Mr. Walsh belteves that sicentists have stepped a little over the boun dary of possibility,' but he earnestly declared his strong belief In a change In the mental processes, this Includ ing a spiritual as well as a physical development, ,r .:( . v That the physical makeup of man is bounded to be affected is his theory. but It is in a different way from which those who have so far given their ideas to the world have suggested. . He predicts that flying will produce mental -action and will make a type o? man far different muscular develop ment than man of today. The play of the muscles in guiding the machiiles of Hie air. Is quite un like that required for any other work and white It demands strength, it de velops the body differently. Mr. Walsh cites the change that has taken place In himself since he flrst took un aer- lial navigation, two and a half years ago. Formerly he was a mechanic, and was strong and robust. Today he. Is slender and while very strong, does not appear muscular. "The delicate, light, but strong movements required In aviation," he' said, "transform the Body." "While the spiritual side of life does not appeal to the average person to day, he cannot sail often in the air without being forced to a different train of thought. The beauties pre sented to the sight from high alti tudes are so much vaster and greater than anything else that has been given us to enjoy that there is left to the aviator room for deep thought, which ! leads him finally tq a very different, more hopeful and happier view of life." Mr. Walsh declares that he has read with interest everything that scientists or so-called scientists have set forth in their many theories re garding the possible results of avia tion on the human ystem and he has many Ideas of his own. t $ 4 LA GRANDE GIRL EXCELLS. 8 ". 4 Takes Highest Honors at Whit- $ $ man with the Class of .1911 $ .

Protection against the hazing of the newly-wed is proposed by Richard Henry Lit tle, humorist and war correspondent of Chicago, after 'some research work Into the indignities, sorrow and suffer ing of June brides and grooms at the hands of their friends. Mr. Little has turned reformer and headed a petition for reform with a choice collectldn'of incidents to illustrate the antics of modern civilization. One was under date of Rolio, Ills., June 22, 1821: "After the ceremony Mrs. Dubb was seized by her bridesmaids and a beau tiful bird In three colors was tatooed on her forehead. Mr. Dubb was seized by his friends and relatives and, af ter being tarred and feathered was ridden out of town on a rail fcehlnd the Justly famous Rollo Silver cor net band. The event was one of the most amusing and delightful weddings that ever took place in our little vil lage." ',': ;;.; r'y ' Another imaginative bit follows. "Blahavllle, Ind June, 1921. Miss Truly Lovely was married here to day to Mr. John de Smythers ofChl cago. Some of the" fun' loving"' rela tives of the bride set fire to the First Methodist church Just as the contract ing parties were walking down the aisle. De Smythers rescued his bride with some difficulty and then repaired to the home of the bride and attempt ed to have the ceremony on the ver anda. The groom's best man, however, exploded a charge ,of dynamite under the veranda Just as the bride was about to say 'I wlir and the ceremony was naturally interrupted." For emphasis Little gives the sport results of a Chicago wedding party: "Mr, and Mrs. Sweetlelgh had escaped in disguise from the bridal party and taken a train for the wesC Intending to spend .the honeymoon at the ranch of the groom in Colorado. Dispatches were promptly sent ahead to a brace of well known train bandits ana vhf train was derailed at CucSe Junction. Outside of a broken arm and a few minor cuts the bride was unhurt and the groom escaped with nothing worse than two or three contusions and a dislocated shoujdcr. V SECOND SIGHT.

Tbe brother lp London com piled and found that tbolr friend bad died, but not on the day be bad been seen abroad. , Later the landlady was asked on oath as to the date and hour of death and whether he had died In a white shirt with a blue check. After some demur she confessed that ber lodger did not die when she first stated, but on the day when his friends bad seen him pass through the mess room. It seems the date of demise bad been falsified on account of bis pen sion, which was almost all his family had to depend upon. And he died In a white shirt with a blue check, his landlady having lent one of ber hus band's to him on the mornlna of hi death.

Before the carpenter left she ordered inside shutters put up. The family's flrst night in their new home was cele brated by adjusting two sets of win dow shades, one white, the other dark green, which served as a background for two pairs of curtains, one of silk, the other of lace. On the third day the man helped his wife to hang addi tional sash curtains, and on the fourth day he found a man tinkering with the outside of the window ledge. V "He Is Just getting ready to put up the awnings," she explained. Her husband looked at the shutters, the two shades, the. two curtains and the, sash curtains and the arrange ments for tbe awnings at each win dow, and then he laughed, but she could not understand why.
