AVIATORS KEEP
SENSES IN FALL
Evidence Adduced That Dash
Toward Earth Fails to Stupefy
Victims of Accident.

Many people, no doubt, wonder what
must be the sensations OF military
aviator who falls in a crippled aero
plane several thousand feet to earth'
In the early days OF flying scientists as
sured us that an aviator during his
ranid rush to earth lost consciousness
and was mercifully unaware OF his ap-
preaching doom. There are many IN,
stances, however, says "Tit-bts,
which 20 to prove that flying man
has full control of his senses during
his sickening fall, and is quite con-
scious of his perilous position. A mill
tary aviator in France recently lost
complete control Of his machine through
the rush Of air set up by a shell burst
Ing close to his machine. His aero.
plane dropped like a stone at speed
estimated at 100 miles an hour. The
dyer did not lose his head, however,
but, clinging tightly to strut at the
aide of his seat, TO prevent falling from
the swaying machine, he used his free
hand in desperately swinging the con-
troll lever in every direction in an en-
deavor to obtain control of the aero
plane. This he managed to do after
falling five hundred feet, but 1t was
near thing, and, on landing after the
mishap. he was bleeding from the nose
and ears and was almost UNCONSCIOUS
Had he lost his head during the try
ING moments of his fall he would not
be alive to-day. -,
Lieutenant Reynolds, one. OF the
army's finest fiers, also saved his lie
by keeping full control OF his senses

INFERIOR COTTON
THREATENS SOUTH
Warning by Government
Against Deterioration
in "Half-and-Half."

During the last two years the atten-
tion OF the Department OF Agriculture
at Washington has been directed to the
fact that active campaigns have re-
suited in the introduction into portions
of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas OF q
variety of cotton called "hslf-and-
It Is reported that the seed has been
sold for as much as So a bushel, under
the representation that it Is an exceed
ingly prolific variety, yielding 80 per
cent Of lint, or q 500-pound bale from
| 900 pounds Of seed cotton. Many in
ouiries have been received from plant
ers throughout this section asking for
advice concerning this cotton.
The departments representatives
have examined many samples of half
and half" cotton from these states and
have grown it in experimental plant
ings, and have found it far inferior to
cotton ordinarily produced in this sec
ton.
The departments field tests on nu-
merous varieties have shown that
"half-and-half' does not maintain d
high rank in total lint yield an acre.
The large proportion of lint to seed
apparently results from the fact that
the seeds are very small and light.
The danger Of judging cotton by lint
percentaets has been explained in Bu-
reau of Plant Industry Circular No. II
and the caution has been repeated in
the United States Department Of Asri-
culture Bulletin No. 60.
The lint Of the "half-and-half' varl-
ETY. is OF poor character, irregular,
wasty and very short, a large portion
Of the samples examined being less
than seven-eighths of an inch in length
of staple. Cotton less than seven
eighths of an inch is untenderable on
future contracts made under the pro-
visions of the United States cotton fut-
ures act, and therefore buyers will
penaliZe il whenever discovered.
The department is informed that
many persons who grew this variety
have succeeded in selling It at pre-.
vailing prices, but this cannot long
continue. When cotton OF less than
seven -eighths of an inch in lengh sell,
for full market price 1t is because 1t,
true character was not detected. When
ever cotton firms find large part oil

BURN OIL WELLS FOR FILMS.

In staging the forthcoming Bosworth
release. Sunshine Molly the pro-
ducers have spared no trouble or ex-
pcnsc to give the picture the desired
realism. The subject Is a drama OF
the history OF the discovery OF oil in
California.
some Of the scenes were taken at
TAFT. the heart Of the oil country.
Other scenes were laid at the La brea
oil fields, near Hollywood, and many
interiors, showing the home life of the
prospcctors before and after the strike.
The plot calls for an explosion, fol-
lowed by a big fire. After considerable
trouble and persuasion the producers
secured the permission Of the oil peo,,,
pie to set fire to three OF the great oil
