The
OKLAHOMA'S - IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
Rival Crashes
saved her own life by quick think
ing in the air.
Early this' morning 17-year old
Elinor Smith came doarn out of
the chill skies at Mitchell field
with a new solo endurance flight
record for women to her credit.
She had been aloft 13 hours. 16
minutes and 45 seconds, beating
the record held by Miss Bobbie
Trout of California by one hour,
fire minutes and 45 seconds.
This afternoon Miss Viola Gen
try, an older but no less daring
avlatrix than Miss Smith, set
about winning back the endur
ance record she held until Mias
Trout took It away from her. and
so won her laurels even though
she didn't win the record.
Miss Gentry, who Is known as
the flying cashier because she has
worked in restaurants to get the
money to finance her flying,
crashed in a practice hop prepar
atory to beginning her endurance
flight, but by the presence of mind
saved her life.
With a half load of fuel she
i roared down this field's famous
Transatlantic runway and got in
to the air Just before reaching the
treacherous gully in which Rear
Fonck piled up his ship at thr
start of a flight to France twe
years ago last September. Bat she
was still low and she passed ovei
the gully her plane staggered In
an upward current of air.
At this point she apparently
made a mistake in Judgment
turning her plane down wind and
so losing the lifting assistance ol
a head wind: this caused the shir
to slide and fall.
Keeping 'her composure the
woman pilot cut her ignitloi
switch, thus keeping her plant
from catching fire at the crast
and causing a repetition of the
Fonck tragedy. That plane burst
into flame and two men were
killed.
Miss Gentry's plane was so bad
ly damages it will take at least s
weak to repair it. but she stepped
from the cockpit unscathed and
apparently unruffled. She blamed
the crash entirely on her handling
of the plane.

To wild applause, she realized
that she was the hit of the eve
ning. It had been a daring thing
to do. dressed as she was, but she
felt reckless tonight and played
as she had never played, before.
From the time of her wild dance
to the end of the evening she was
the most sought after girl at the
party. Both Andy and Harry tried
to induce her to come off to a
quiet corner and sit out a dance
with them. Remembering Lola'
caution, she stayed to dance, how
ever.
At two o'clock Ifarry came to
her and said: "I'll have to take
you home, beautiful. Andy has
Just passed out. He's asleep up

quiet on the homeward trip. He

She slept until nine o'clock and
woke with a slight headache. She
lay long In bed, thinking over the
party. It was the first wild party
she had ever been on, so she wa
inclined to excuse hjerseJXfor her
indiscretions.
She decided not to drink punch
again, however, as it made her
reckless. She would not admit! to
herself that there was anything1
ery wicked in what she had done.
Then came the thought of Andy.
He had been drunk!
The anger she felt toward him
was Increased by the fact that sub
consciously she blamed herself.
She determined that she would
not go out with him again. She
would cultivate the attention of
Harry Ford, as he seemed better
balanced than Andy.
She liked Andy best, of course.
but he was weak. She detested
weakness, while loving the weak
man. She took ner shower ana
went down to her breakfast, ex
plaining her lack of appetite by
telling her mother she had eaten
a buffet lunch at the party at one-
thirty. The orange Juice she drank
reminded her of the punch of the
night before. She shuddered as
she swallowed it.
Betty told her mother all about
the party, fearing she might hear
of It from some ether source; al
so that she and another girl had
done solo dances and they had all
applauded her. She left out any
details which might shock her
mother.'
When Betty went upstairs to do

listless. For the first time she

that. They have a soporific effect

"As much as ever, but that's
nothing for you to brag about."
"How did your gin sit?"
"That's not ralr."
"I'll come around and take you

we'll kiss- and make up."
'No. I'm busy this afternoon.
Betty did not like the light way
he tried to pass over the incident.
"Oh, well, then, some other
time." He seemed quite nonch
alant as she said good-bye and
hung up the telephone.
When Betty's father came home
from the store that night he said
that they had decided to open the
fall season at his lodge with an
entertainment, and he wanted Bet
ty to dance. The entertainment
was two weeks off, but she start
ed at once to make her costume.
It was a combination of two cos
tumes in one. First there was a
bodice of silver cloth, cut tothe
w&istline in back and quite low in
front. Joined to this were tight-!
fitting silver pants, covered with
rose-colored silk petals. Then
there was a very abbreviated skirt
made entirely of large petals' of
the same rose-colored silk. It was
her intention to wear the skirt
with the costume when she did
her Jazz and soft-shoe dances and
toss it aside for the acrobatic num
ber.
Her mother - rotested loud and
long against this costume, and In
sisted Betty should not wear It.
It was only by bringing her father
into the argument that she was
able to gain her point. Even then
her mother absolutely refused to
give tn on the matter of stock
ings. She was compelled to get a
pair of silver, opera-length stock-
Her mother said she looked like

would go to the entertainment
with them. She did not want to
witness her daughter's shame, she
explained.
Betty telephoned Doc Alger, the
young medical student who had
played for her at the f rat house
party, to play for her the night of
the entertainment. He suggested
that she come to the frat house
the next night and rehearse the
dances. She agreed, if she could
bring Harry Ford with her.
She took her costume In a little
overnight bag. Harry drove her to
the frat house, where she dressed
in the room of the boy who was
to play for her. By the time she
finished her rehearsal in the sit

It was the usual lodge enter

welcomed the audience and intro

solos and quartettes, an infant

accompaniment.

Betty felt no trace of the stage
fright she had when she danced
before the students at Sellkofts.
This audience did not know so
much about dancing. She came
out to Doc's prelude, smiling and
confident. -
Her first dance was a big hit.
They applauded and applauded.
While she had Intended to do only
two dances, her waits clog and her
acrobatic number. Doc began the
music of her Jazz number before
she had a chance to change her
costume. She came back and did
that, delighting the audience with
her struts and poses.
Doc began his piano solo whec
the applause died down. H e
caught their instant attention by a
piece requiring rapid-fire finger
work. He, too. had to take an en
