Charles K. Hamilton master of the
air. Ijin El Paso today.
Arriving from Tucson with the tri-
umphal shouts of a great crowd ring-
ing In his ears for his daring flights in
a 40-milo wind and standstorm Hamil-
ton Is at Washington Park working
j over his Curtis biplane like a violin
H'J" luuca uuu iuuuiks ins ueiuveu
Instrument.
xAssisted by six mechanics whom he
carries from place to place to care for
his delicately adjusted heavier than
air machines Hamilton the New York
man bird dressed in a greasy suit of
overalls has been at work all afternoon
tightening lock nuts trying the power-
ful eight-cylinder 55-60 horse power
Curtis engine and tinkering with his
air chariot in preparation for the
Washington birthday flights the first
to be held in west Texas.
"The Bird Face."
Hamilton like Wilbur Wright Glen
Curtis XkjuIs Paulhan and the others
of the daring death defying navigators
of the uncharted air has the bird face.
This is 3aid to be a distinctive feature
of all the really great aviators. Long
aquiline nose a chin that slopes away
from the high cheek bones to almost
a point and with the two shrewd bird-
like almost beady eyes set close against
the bridge of the nose give Hamilton's
features the appearance of the feathered
aviators of the bird world. He also
has red hair-
Is a New Yorker.
Hamilton is from New York city and
has been In aviation work since he was
24. He will be 30 on May 22 a long j
life for a man who defies death each
time he leaves the earth. Before tak-
lnt? up the heavier than air machines
Hamilton was a dirigible balloon oper-'
ator and has made flights in all parts of
the country-in tho gas bag crafts. He
made a series of flights in Japan which
so completely startled the natives that
they immediately set about making
facsimilies of the Hamilton dirigible.
He is married and when he is not
traveling from place to place with his
CurtiT machine and another biplane for
emergency use ho spends his time
quietly in New York.
Air Here Is Heavy.
"The air here is heavier than it was
in Tucson and Phoenix" Hamilton said
today. "The altitude will not bother
anil the going should be good. At Tuc-
son Saturday I went up with tho wind
blowing 40 miles an hour and with the
air full of dust. I stayed up 12 minutes
and alighted In the small confines of J
the ball park without any more serious
accident than the breaking or a small
part on my biplane when I glided to the
ground. This wind will not bother and
I. will surely fly tomorrow."
Flew for 22 Mile.
Hamilton made a sensationally suc-
cessful flight Saturday at Tucson when
the crowd begged him not to attempt
to make such a flight. His Curtis- craft
rocked In the air currents like a boat

on a choppy sea and his flights were as
thrilling as any yet made at the avia-

figure eights in the air over the ball
park in Tucson and kept the crowd of
spectators thrilled each minute of hi3
exhlbtiion.
