The Rambler paid a visit to the 
plant of Burgess & Curtiss at Mar- 
blehead recently, where the aero- 
planes for the U. S. army are manu- 
factured.. F. Rodman Law, whose 
jump in a parachute from Brooklyn 
Bridge, N. Y., made him famous, was 
preparing to make an ascent into the 
clouds with one of the aviators at the 
plant. Although the day was not 
cold, Law donned two pairs of very 
heavy stockings before he started on 
the flight, explaining to the wondering 
onlookers that, “when I get up in the 
air about 2,000 feet I am quite apt to

some stunts that would dispel in the 
minds of the most skeptical person

a few days ago who was nothing if — 
not enterprising. This manager was © 
an advertiser in the progam of a thea-

play in the city, as he thought, and he — 
made a bid to the theatre manager to 
induce the Divine Sarah to stop at 
his house during the stay in the city. 
Great was his chagrin, however, when 
he found that the great actress was to 
appear in moving pictures only. He

Mr. Ward, whose home is in Lynn- 
field when he is not on the road with

his son attend the Danvers school,

Ward. ‘Then. it suddenly dawned on 
him that he and Ward had had a fight 
when they were boys in school and he 
had given Ward a block eye. When 
he told the famous comedian about
