FOOL-PROOF AER0PLANE
Bronx Man Has Detachable Par
achute for Sky Men.

Maurice Ecker. Of No. i27 St AIMS
avenue. The Bronx. is the latest man TO
say he has invented n parachute for the
use ~ acroplauists which will be- the
means ~ preventing moro deaths among
the ranks Of the air pilots Eckers in
vention Is designed 20 he carried upon the
ton Of tho framework Of the aeroplane
and Is so made that it can be instantly
released in case of accident to the aero
plane and prevent fatal consequences to
the aviator.
Tie parachute attachment weighs only
twenty-five pounds. according To Ecker.
and vas tried successfully in St Louis
about Two months ago.
Placed in position on an aeroplane, the
parachute lies fiat and looks like wire
bed spring. The framework of the para
chute consists of a pair Of rectangular
frames. ore above the other and connected
by means OF flexible ropes or chains.
Across the upper frame arc stretched
closely woven wires. while two strips run
down the centre The wires form sup
port for the cloth forming the top of the
parachute when 1t is distended. the cloth
being directly beneath the wires.
Attached to the centre strips are two
rollers. about which the cloth is rolled
when the parachute is not in use. These
rollers when released Ivy spring unfold
the cloth and distend il beneath the wire,
thus opening the parachute so as to pre-
vent the sudden fall of the aeroplane.
All that is necessary for the aviator
to do. according 10 Ecker's plan, Is to
touch the releasing spring when he finds
the acroplane is about TO drop. Instantly
the parachute, which is attached to the
aeroplane by four flexible ropes. opens.
The parachute detaches itself from the
acroplane. and the operator drops slowly
to the ground.

four ribs on the right side were broken
shortly before II o'clock the woman die !
on the operating table from her injuries.
Detectives in the West 125th street

serted.

! black limousine was seen going north at
