LESSON IN HISTORY
How American Aviators Were
Circling Over Vera Cruz Two
Hours After Arrival.
United Press Service
Vera Cruz, Mex., May 15—(By
mail to New York)—Here’s a
.school room, scene, twenty-five
lyears from now:
1* Teacher—Why is April 25,
J|1914 famous in American histo
ry?
Up goes the hand of every
i boy waving wildly,
i Teacher—Willie, you may an
swer.
Willie—It’s the day on which
an aeroplane was first used in an
American war.
Sammy, unable to keep silent
—I know more about it than
that. It happened at Vera Cruz,
Mexico, and it almost scared the
Mexicans to death. Even the
cows and horses ran away from
it and the people thought it was
a terrible animal and hid in their
houses.
Jimmy, interrupting—I know
who flew it. His name was Pat
Bollinger.
Teacher—No! Lt. Patrick N
j L. Bollinger, of Charleston, S. C.
!—Not Pat.
Willie—That’s it. And before
he ever flew in an aeroplane, he
commanded a submarine and
once made a target record with
a 12—inch gun from the Battle
ship South Carolina. He had
light eyes and he came from one
of the best families in the South
and he could dance as well as he
could fly and all his friends call
ed him Pat and he never got
married because so many girls
liked him that he didn’t know
which one to propose to.
Teacher—Willie!
Sammy—There were two men
in the aeroplane. Bollinger flew
it, but Dick Saufley rode beside
him and made a chart of all the
territory around Vera Cruz,
showing where bridges were
burned, tracks torn up and where
Mexican soldiers that they flew
over were throwing up intrench
ments.
Teacher—His name wasn’t
Dick. His title was Lt. Richard
C. Saufley, of Kentucky.
It is a notable fact that the
first American soldiers to use
the aeroplane in real warfare
were Southerners. Class is ad
journed.
These schoolboys will have
been talking of an event that de
lighted American refugees in
Vera Cruz. The first flight of
the navy aeroplane over Vera
Cruz followed, by only two
hours, the arrival of the machine
on the Battleship Mississippi.
Lt. Commander Henry C. Mus
tin, of the Pensacola (Florida)
navy aviation station, put his
mechanicians to work on two
Curtis hydroplanes in the han
gar on the deck, of the battleship
and by the time the fleet arrived
off Vera Cruz the flying ma
chines were ready for immediate
use- They were lowered over
the side of the ship by cranes
and they scudded across the har
bor to the beach under their own
power.
Within a short time Bollinger
and Saufley were in the air above
the ships and circling over the
town. The aeroplane had a tre
mendous effect on the natives of
Vera Cruz. Sharpshooting from
houses, which had occurred ev
ery evening since the occupation
ceased immediately, as the ru
mor went abroad among the
Mexicans that the aviators
would drop a bomb on any house
from which sharpshooting oc
curred. In the evening the same
two aviators made excursions
far out into the country return
ing with maps which indicated
to Admiral Fletcher the exact
position of the enemy, showing
the condition of the narrow and
broad guage railroad tracks and
bridges.
Admiral Fletcher highly com
plimented the two aviators for
the work and ordered the pre
paration of maps from the neat
charts which Saufley had drawn
in the air. Saufley’s charts will
probably find a place in one of
the army or navy collections in
the Washington museum.

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made PaMSc,
will Help Other Women.
Hines, Ala.—"! must confess", says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done mo
a great deal of good.
Before 1 commenced using Carduf. I
would spit up everything I ate. I had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. 1 could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, I have entirely
quit spitting up what 1 eat Everything
seems to digest all right, and 1 have
gained 10 pounds in weight.’*
If you are a victim of any of the numer
ous Ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Carduf has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed of ingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution, and heljM
build the weakened organa back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Qet a bottle today. You
won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.
