Barnaby, wife of Lieutenant Barnaby, U.S.N., at the national glider contest being held here. Since her arrival a week ago Saturday, Mrs. Barnaby has not only watched every performance of the meet, but has also piloted gliders herself. She was joined by her famous husband, a contestant, Thursday. Finding the bridge tables and other affairs for which women congregate inadequate diversion in her spare time, after her household work was completed and the children put safely to bed, Mrs. Barnaby took lessons in gliding. She was the first woman to fly a glider in Cleveland. In aviation, Mrs. Barnaby says, she gets the complete satisfaction that is totally lacking in what are regarded as normal feminine social contacts. Being for a long time in the center of aeronautical activity, Mrs. Barnaby was naturally attracted to flying as a resource for her leisure moments. The home and her two children demanded the usual amount of supervision from her that any young housewife in her circumstance has to give them, and her duties often occupied her until late in the evening. Nevertheless, to gratify a natural interest in flying and moved by the desire to have a part in its progress, she received instruction in the elements of gliding and aviation and before long took the air on wings she guided herself. Soon she will ask for a gliding license, only a few of which have been issued. [[/Article 3]] This Mother Takes Pains Naming Child Displeased With Suggestions Made by Family, She Adopts Own Method of Choosing Name, and Now See What She up and Did. How many Emira parents have difficulty in naming their children? Plenty of them, no doubt, unless "Dad" insists upon having the "jr." added at the time of the christening and then, of course, sex plays an important part in the decision. If the child is a boy and his grandfather is wealthy, there is little difficulty in choosing the name, and the reason is obvious. One of the most peculiar incidents on record having to do with choosing the name for an offspring is related concerning an Elmira mother, who was in a dilemma regarding what her son should be called. Various suggestions were made by the family and friends, but none of these seemed acceptable. One day the good mother on a trip down town happened to see "Nosmo" painted across one of a pair of swinging doors. This appealed to her as a name quite out of the ordinary, quite different from the usual Tom, Dick and Harry. She adopted it, but still the child was without a middle name. A short time after she chanced to pass the same entrance and on the other door saw the word "King," a most acceptable middle Kol Nidre Chant Marks Yom Kippur Feast With Jews Elmira Jews will begin their celebration of the Day of Atonement, known in Hebrew as "Yom Kippur," next Wednesday evening. The chanting of Kol Nidre in all temples and synagogues will mark the beginning of the fast which ends with the closing service of the following evening. The Day of Atonement stands as the most solemn and scared day in Jewish life. When the Jews lived in Palestine, the observance of the Day of Atonement was distinguished by an elaborate ritual. But when the Jews found themselves in a new environment following the destruction of the Temple, the Day of Atonement under Bird in Hand Is Worth Two In Tree Tops So Say Residents of Southside, But How, They Ask Can They Get the Birds Down? - Bogart is Busy With Problem. Residents on the Southside on Lormore and Spaulding Streets are complaining strenuously to the City Hall executives about the presence of thousands of sparrows and starlings, which have made their homes in the trees in this vicinity. It is complained that the birds make life miserable for the citizens on these streets in many ways and house-owners want to get rid of them, but how? City Clerk Harry L. Bogart on several occasions has granted permits for irate residents to shoot the birds out of trees. This has been attempted with shotguns and rifles. As a result the sidewalks often are strewn with dead birds. This only adds to the misery. But these few deaths among the hundreds, and some say thousands of birds, does not serve the purpose. When a count is taken, the dead birds are not missed. A few days ago City Clerk Bogart was in Albany on business. He took occasion to visit the Conservation Commission's offices and there he laid the matter before Deputy Frank X. Disney, a former Elmiran. Mr. Disney at once appreciated the merit of Mr. Bogart's wall in behalf of the afflicted Elmirans, but like Mr. Bogart, he was at a loss to supply a remedy. "I'll get you permission to let the residents shoot the birds," Mr. Disney said. And Mr. Bogart replied: "I've already done that without permission. I had to do something to help these good people out, but it seems the prescription is not a cure." So the birds continue to make whooopee in their favorite haunts and thus far no one has been able to prevent it. A peculiar situation, the Southsiders will tell you, and a serious one. Historians to Hear Of Civil War Period A public meeting of the Chemung County Historical Society will be held Thursday at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of the Steele Memorial Library, A.G. Stein will read a paper, "My Recollections of Civil War Times in Elmira." This will be the first paper in a varied program to be given during the Fall and Winter months. Other subjects to be presented at the future meetings are: "Early Jewelers of Elmira," "The Hoffman Family," "Development of Elmira Tanneries, "The Hendy Family," "Early American Glass," and "The Sly Family."
