R1,BU5 MACK AY. KX.YBB
Sketch ot KegUah Woman Loet Is Attempt
to )Fly to America.
The Honorable El?ie Mackay's
light, commenced in myatory, ended
n mystery, was the act of a woman
who had bought all that money would
buy, who had been given everything
her position w?uhi bring to her, who J
had done everything her exceptional 1
talent# enabled her to do, and who
was still not satisfied, writer Courtnay
Terrett in New York Telegram.
In her the taste for adventure waB
an insatiable craving. To her the at- I
tempt to Hy the Atlantic wan a
stronger draught of it than any before,
for it had two alternative endings
death or the glory that belong# I
to the first woman pilot to bridge the I
ocean. "
dory and glamor she knew in
lesser degree, and from the record of
her vivid career it. can be read that
she wondered what death was and did
not fear it.
At 114 she was able to look back on
life and see it full, exciting. :
She was bom wealthy, daughter of I
Britain's vastly wealthy new "busi-1
nesu peerage," third daughter and I
co-heiress of Lord Inchcape, the head
of the great P. and O. Line to the I
Orient and Australasia. I
She was beautiful in a family of
dark-haired Scottish beauties. j
. She put on nurse's uniform during 1
the war, and in an English convalescent
hospital she met Dennie Wyndham,
captain in the infantry, a scion
of k family which had beenj.pf the
dramatic aristocracy longer than hers
had been of the peerage. She married
him, and her father disinherited
her, according to the best traditions
of the nouveau riche,
She went on the stage. Those
were the days when a war-emancipated
English Womanhood put its hand to j
every task which conventions had i
.denied them.
She was successful, and nofcjmerely
because of her position or the vivid
sense of publicity which made "Poppy
Wyndham" a journalistic byword, she
was Cyril Maude's leading lady in
"Grumpy," star of two successive
plays. Then, when she had conquered,
she quit the stage.
There may have been something
I else in that resignation from the
theatre, for about that time, in 1922,
she divorced Wyndham in a s^isational
suit and condescended to reconcilation
with her father.
She went into the movies, however,
and there she repeated her success,
but again when she had achieved
stardom she abandoned it.
Flying demanded her attention. She
plunged into training. Captain E. C.
D. Bftarne was her first tutor. Her
courage and aptitude amazed him, her
challenge drove him to attempt the
dangerous "outside loop" five years
before Lieutenant Jamea Doolittle, of
the American Army Air Service, performed
that feat. In the attempt,
while every strut and wire howled in
anguish at the unusual strain, her
safety ibelt. snapped.
... Her body was thrown out of the
Cockpit, but she gripped the bracii^
wires inside the cockpit with her bare
hands and thus swung free while
earth revolved around the plane. Z~
V Heme, somehow, brought the ship
down. Miss Mackay's body still 1ft
Ofitside, her hands still gripped the
wires. She was freed, and they found
that her hands were bitten to the bone
by the taut steel threads, but she
{laughed at the adventure and told
| Heme ahe would try it again, any
{time, if only she could have a stronger
belt. >
I She received her pilot's license that*
I year, 1922. Only eleven other womjeu
had. received licenses before her.
| Therefore fehe flew constantly, travelI
ing over the continent and the British
{Isles hy plape, once facing death when
an eight-mile wind ripped the ruddfr
from the ship she was traveling in,
and attaining such s reputation for
cxpertness that she was nominated fy)
Jm-piaeeriar theipttstfa i advmbry coSP
mittee of the BritishEmpire AW
j League. ? 1
1 Yet while pursuing her interest in
| aeronautics, she continued to be one
1 of the women mogt pften seen in the
1 smarter and gayer phizes of Britain
society. Her silver Rolls Royce, her
furs end jewels were iajnilinr aightt
Jby. highta,>ergfaet kport* cars and
I many clogs were constantly seen by
I day in the city and along eountfy
highways. fS
i She owned menyHloge; and^tftey ocs
copied much of iter affections. One of
them* a white borzoi, - killed himself
(jumping thirty feet from an open
(window in Mayfair to Join her dn the
(street below. It was weeks before
she could he consoled, for she blamed
herself ior the dog's death.
She found time somehow to work
(actively at interior decoration, for she
I obtained appointment aa the artistic
[director of ifci * A O Bite and decorjated
ell the new liners of thai eeas
pany.
Only a fortnight ago she - took
charge of decorating and preparing
the suite occupied by Princess Mary
and Lord Lascelles on their present
voyage to the Orient, and dodged
down from Carnwell Airdrome in one
of her racing cars to bid them goodboth
as a family friend and as
the li ner's hostess. j
Strong-willed, her family might
have known once her intention of flying
the Atlantic was discovered that
she would not be deterred, but Lord
and Lady Inchcape went to Egypt, believing
she was merely backing
Hinchliffe in his projected flight and
was not planning to participate in it
personally.
Thus is explained the secrecy of her
departure, the prefatory denials, the
pretense that -Captain Sinclair would
be HinchlilTe'8 co-pilot and the sudden,
almost unwitnessed departure.

Measles Finally
Claims Old Woman
Kings Mountain, N. March ?
For 90 years Miss Rachel Parker, who
lived in the mountain* near here, had
foregone most human society through
a lear of measles. Today she is dead
of the disease. Miss I'arker was the
last of a family of seven who at one
time owned virtually all of the eite
of the present city of Kings Mountain.
l.ittle is known of the family,
although they settled near here more
than GO years ago. Each died at approximately
the age of 90.

Suitor: "I seek your daughter's
hand in marriage, air. I love her
devotedly and I would stofl^r deeply
if I caused her a moment'* sorrow."

Important
Announcement
to every owner of a
K * If T"* I
Model T Fora
ON MAY 25, 1927, when Henry Ford first announced his
plans for making a new car, he announced also that he would
continue to make parts for the Model T Ford. He said:
* - _ _
! j "The Model T Ford car was a pioneer. It blazed the
way for thje motor industry and started the movement for
j good reads everywhere. It broke down the barriers of !
distance in rural sections, brought people In these sections j
closer together, and placed education within the reach of - everyone.
We are^till proud of the Model T Ford/ If wci :
were not* we \yop(d not have continued to make it sofbftg."
For twenty years, the Model T Ford led the^w^pippbile V
industry and it still serves more people than any other automobile.
Over one-third of all the automobiles in use today y
are Model'T Fords-?an indication of the sturdy worth ; _
of the car and its value topeople id Sill walks of life the
world over.
- ^ TheFord Motor Company will continue to make replacement
parts for these cars "until ,the last Model T is
ol? the road." That i9 a part of Ford service. That is what
*
Henry Ford meant when he said; "We believe that when a ,
/ * ' ' M %
. man buys one of our cars we should keep it running for
> him as long as we can and at the lowest up-keep cost."
Because of this policy a considerable part of the Ford
manufacturing plants is giv^n over to the making of parts ||
c for the Model T Ford. These replacement parts are niade .
of the same material and in the same way as those from II
. which your car was originally, assembled. V II
. # , i fife I
Make it a point, therefore, to see the nearest Ford dealer . II
and have him look over your Model T Ford. You may find ||
that a very small expenditure will enable you to get thdu- I
sands of miles of additional service, and at the* same time j
, ? ? . a.v 11
protect the money you have invested in your car, ff
