Possibility that the colonel
would celebrate such an event any

ever, that tho colonel ventured
into tho air- from the seclusion of
the Morrow ostate, with Miss Mor
row beside him in the big six pas-
Henger amphibian. .
But It was the unusual action
of the plane, as it taxied down the
runway beforo the take-off, that
led observers to believe that the
colonel himself was not at the con
trols. Tho craft taxied along the
field several times before It finally
shot sure and straight for the hop

that Vliss Morrow had Just com
pleted a ground lesson.

declined by the filer with the
