Wrightsman, son of a well-known Tulsa oil man. He is now In Washington being taught aviation with a view to raising a volunteer corps in New York. Some time ago young Wrightsman made it known to his father that bo wished to enter the aviation corps of the army. The proposition did not take very well with the senior Wrightsman, who at the time did not see tho necessity for such a course.

In order to divert the boys attention, Mr. Wrightsman purchased ami gave to his son a very expensive iiiotoibo.it of high speed. it tended only to stimulate the boy's desire to master the airship, and since war practically lias been declared, the father has given his consent.
