SAVES HER LIFE
New York, Nov. 3 () Lightning
action saved Ruth Nichols, famous
aviatrix, from probable death early
today when Iter plane smashed up
on the take-off of a transcontlnent
alcampaign flight for President
Hoover.
As the plane, freighted with a
large supply of gasoline, shot down
a 3,000 foot runway at Floyd Ben
nett field, it skidded off at 60 miles
an hour, went into a ground loop
and burled its left wing in the
ground.
Quick as a flash, before the craft
struck, Miss Nichols cut her switch,
to prevent her gasoline from catch
ing fire and burning the plane and
herself.
Ambulances clanged to the scene
as Miss Nichols stepped out of the
badly damaged ship.
"No," she said, smiling and try
ing to conceal her exasperation over
the mishap. "Nothing can hurt
such an old hand at this game as
I am."
Carrying bales of campaign lit
erature to drop en route, Miss
Nichols was to have sped non-stop
to the west coast in an attempt to
break the record of Amelia Earhart.
She is one of the most prominent
of the women filers. In her career
of thrills, she has smashed numer
ous women's records, Including
transcontinental, distance and alti
tude marks.
The "society girl aviator," as she
has been called, also has been near
death more than once. In June,
1931, she was injured in a crackup
as she landed at St. John, N. B.,
for a contemplated trans-Atlantic
flight. She suffered a spine injury,
and for months had to wear a steel
corselet.
Four months later she escaped in
jury when she leaped from a flaming
monoplane as It stood on the take
off line at Louisville, Ky., for a
flight to New York.
Today's accident, which occurred
at 2:48 a.m., was due, she said, to
a heavy load of gasoline.
"In taking oft with a heavy load
a plane is very hard to handle," she
said. ' I used, every ounce of muscu
lar energy t- hold it down and found
it was impossible."

FOR UNCLE SAM
PASTOR GIVES
M FOR
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 3 (P) Poli
ticians aren't the only ones with
"ten point programs." The latest,
oomes from the Rev. Ralph E.
Stewart, Columbus Baptist pastor,
and Is designed to solve most of
Uie problems of courtship uid mar
riage.
Presented In a sermon, the pas
tor's program recommends;
1. Don t believe that old saw that
love Is blind. It is not.
2, Don't contract for paint and
powder In the parlor. It used to
be kiss and make up; now It's kiss
the make-up.
3. Don't go in for drygoods. Fine
feathers don't always make fine
birds and fashionable clothing often
bewilders a lovelorn youth.
4. Don't make the mistake of
thinking that your love affair is
different from that of many whol
have been wrecked on tho seas of
matrimony. It's only different
when you use common sense, '
5. Don't practice deception on the
girl you profess to love and expect
to marry. Be true and live true, It
will lessen chances for trouble and
keep you out of divorce court.
6. Don t be suspicious. Distrust
and lack of confidence are venom
ous vipers.
7. Don t be discourteous. You
can usually tell husband and wife,
for he walks about four feet ahead
of her going down the sidewalk.
8. Don t make promises you can
not keep. Lovers' promises are es
timated at lira per cent.
. Don't build air castles. Build
a cottage Instead. Don't live with
in-laws.
10. Don't crowd God out. Wom
en are more religious than men, so
don't refuse to go to church with
her.

T
ESTATE
BEFORE COURT
The contest on the will disposing
of the (135,000 estate of the late
Cornelia A. Davis of Turner to
decido whether the fortune shall
go to create r home for the needy
at Turner or go to J. M. Sharp,
of California, sole surviving rela
tive, occupied the attention of
Circuit Judge Levelling In circuit
court today.
The center of the early conten
tion in trial of the case was the
offer of the Turner Christian
church to act as trustee it the
court saw fit to appoint It. The
contest hinges around the mat
ter of a trustee as under the terms .
of the will virtually all of the es
tate was to be placed In trust to
erect and maintain a home for the
needy In Turner on a site deslg
nated by Mrs. Davis. But in draw
ing the will she failed to name a
trustee and it Is on this ground
the validity of the will is attacked
that she had failed to complete the
trust by failing to nominate the
trustee.
Rev. A. J. Gilstrap of the Tur- .
ner Christian church testified as
to the friendly -feelings shown bj
Mrs. Davis to the church, her con
stant attendance, her liberal do
nations to It, her friendly interest
In every movement connected with
the church.
He stated that while she donated
the site for a boys home at Tur
ner which was erected by the Eu
gene Bible University he stated she
later became on unfriendly terms
with the Bible University and
strongly expressed herself as being
opposed to the Bible University
ever getting any of her money or
having any one connected with the
institution having anything to say
about It. The Rev. Mr. Gilstrap.
stated that while the Bible Univer
sity built the boys' home on the
site donated by Mrs. Davis it was
generally understood its reason for
doing so was to maintain her
friendship so that the fortune on
her death would go to that uni
versity. R. J. Hendricks, who stated he
visited Mrs. Davis a number of
times not long before her death In
order to secure biographical data
from her, stated she had discussed
with him a number of times the
matter of using her fortune to go
to support a home for the needy.
She had discussed the matter with
him of the Congregational church
handling it, as he was a member
of that church but he stated he
investigated and found her plan
impracticable as far as that church
was concerned and advised her
against it. He said she never dis
cussed her will with him or the
matter of a trust or trustee.
Other witnesses, including S. M.
Endlcott, executor and Mrs. Da
vis's attorney for many years, told
of Mrs. Davis's Inclinations In the
matter.
The Rev. Mr.' Gilstrap made It
plain that the christian church of
Turner in offering to accept the
trusteeship did so more as a duty
and an obligation than considering
It a privilege and that the congre
gation had not voted on the mat
ter yet as it was understood no
vote would be taken until It was
determined the court would select ,
the church as trustee and then the
congregation would vote as to whe
ther the church should take on the
burden of building and maintain
ing the new home as provided by
Mrs. Davis. ...
It is understood the case will
appeal regardless of what Judge '
Lewclling decides.
