Looping the Double Loop-Looping the
loop OF the old style has become too easy
There are too many Diavolos who are
willing to do the stunt and it no longer
thrills the thrillseeker. "A German, how
ever, has devised q, variation by which
thrills are still sent w1irling up ones
spine. It Is a loop within a loop. The
Scientific American Of June 25 describes it
thus:
The latest novelty in this line is the inven-
ton Of an ingenious wheelman Of Berlin, Bott-
ner by name, who has constructed q double
loop, and happily performed the feat Of passing
thru it on his wheel. 1t is most certainly the
pinnacle of mad daring, and will at all events
not very soon witness q rival in popular favor.
In this new loop the performer, after he has
passed thru half Of the large loop and with his
head still down. must guide the wheel into the
smaller loop and out Of 1t again, his head being
turned toward the earth, upon the finishing arc
Of the larger loop.
The number Is one Of unusual interest
even for the Scientific American.

During the conference at the White

upon many occasions expressed him
self strongly against the President,
and it is understood that his deser-

Republicans admit that they
need the next House to help them
carry out their plans. They
claim that if it should happen to
become democratic, of which
there is a very fair prospect, the
Senate would head off any un-
republican Legislation it might
inaugurate, On the other hand
if the House is democratic, it
will be in a position to head off
un-democratic Legislation coming
from the Senate. 1t is Il poor
rule which will not work both
ways. The trouble is the repub-
licans want the whole hog, all
the time craftsmanship of all
the important committees and
all the clerlSships.
