DOES STUNTS HERE
Aerial Performer Demonstrates Con-
tempt Of Danger in Air.

With the idea of showing the army
aviation corps that he is qualified to
be a real fiier, Daredevil Johnnie
Reynolds balanced on a pyramid OF
tables and chairs on the edge of the
roof of the Julius Lansburgh store
at 5l2 Ninth street yesterday even
Ing
For about an hour Reynolds held
the crowd spellbound by his thrillers
Starting with one chair and a table
he gradually added furniture until he
was balancing on two tables and
three chairs, when he proceeded tc
read a paper in stentorian tones to
the gasping crowd. He then bal
anced on his hands, allowing his body
to sway over the edge OF the build
ing for several minutes.
A group of marines first noted the
balancing figure. Almost immediate
ly the street became congested. Auto
mobiles and street cars stopped while
their occupants observed stunts
worthy of a circus. Hundreds of en-
ployes from nearby government Of
fees thronged the street and gazed
upward at the unusual sight.
The police who attempted to in
vestigate the exhibition found a
tightly locked hatch at the Top OF
the building which precluded un-
wanted interruptions.
Reynolds believes that he has DEM
onstTated to the aviation examining
board that he Is qualified to fly over
the Germanic battle lines.

The session was complete There
were verbal smoke screens. fung pro-
tectingly about pork barrels. which
were being shot foil OF holes. The
big guns doing the shooting were
there. and in other ways the session
was a very exact reproduction OF a
Congressional seance.
The only difference was that the ses-

OF in the Capitol.
Tourists stopping there one evening
were suddenly struck by hearing

Grsss Party Makes Many Discov-
cries Valuable to Science.

Gilbert II. Grovenor, director and
editor Of the National Geographic So

gram from Kodiak. Alaska, in which
Robert +. Griggs, director OF the 500
ciety's Mt Katmai expedition. an
nounced his safe return 10 ciyiliza-

expeditions complete success in its
scientific Investigations.
DR.. Griggs' message declares that
In the light of the expeditions discov-
cries the valley OF Ten Thousand
Smokes" will stand as the first won
der OF the world. Instead Of 1900
smokes, as the vast volcanic area in
Alaska is now known, the valley has
millions Of active vents in the space OF
100 square miles.
The survey Of the exploration party
proves that Katmsi is the greatest
crater on the globe. being more than
nine miles in circumference and S.sol
feet deep.
,, The party, also, discovered a mud
river seventeen miles long, and map
ped l.60O miles OF territory hitherto

CAN MAKE PICTURES
in NATURAL COLORS
Bureau Laboratory Director Exhib.
its Discovery in Photography.

Taking OF pictures in natural col
ors, a new process in color photog-
raphy which it is claimed will revolu-
tionize the entire industry, was
vividly described in an illustrated lee
ture by the discoverer of the process.
! Burgess Smith, director Of the bureau
laboratory OF the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, last night at the
Capital Camera Club. 712 Eleventh
street northwest.
Mr.. Smith also read a paper before
the club of mis- own research work
on the Elements of Color and Color
Photography" in which he demon
strates how pictures could be made
in still life or portraiture, or in
fact, any kind Of Photographic work
/ in natural colors. and that it was en-
tirely possible to reproduce every
color of the spectrum through a triple
lens camera and a repeating back
attachment.
The action OF filters making cut
outs was illustrated with a chart
showing diffraction spectrum
formed by superimposed hand tint
ed gelatine strip. that was even
brighter than a prism spectre, and
behaved identically with it when va
rious filters were placed over the
lens of steroptican.
In one Of the Illustrations he shows
six test tubes representing every color
with two white books in front and
a background of brown ONCE furni-
ture, one of the most dificult things
| to reproduce upon a photogra phic
plate.
Mr.. Smith also showed that he was
able to make Photographic print
as well as a transparency. and, most
remarkable, is that he is able 70
transfer 1t to the Photographic proc
ess OF photoengraving and reproduce
colors that heretofore have been con-
sidered impossible.

WINTER WHEAT ACREAGE ONLY
IS PER CENT OF THAT OF
YEAR AGO.
SERIOUS SHORTAGE
OF FARM lABoRERs
Spring Wheat Acreage Shows 7 Per
Cent Increase Over 1916-Potato
Acreage Increased by 9.8 Per Cent
Unusually High Quality Of Seed Corn,
rs Used-Home Gardeners Are Active.

Special to The Times Republican,.
Ames, May IA statewide investi-
cation of agricultural conditions in
iowa just completed by the agricultural
extension department and Dr.. George
NJ. Chapel, Of the Iowa weather and
crop service, discloses these big facts:
Iowa is seriously short on farm la
Dor. perhaps 60 per cent Of the farms
being affected thereby.
Iowa has winter wheat acreage that
is only 80 per cent of what it was a
year ago. due to winter killing. and
its stand is 500 per cent as good as II
was in 1916.
Iowa is short on seed for the i'm
portant catch crops, cane, inlet and
Sudan grass, no supply being available
in 80 per cent of the state.
Iowa has a larger acreage OF spring
wheat than in 1916. by per cent.
Iowa has increased potato acreage
9S per cent above 1916.
Iowa is planting an unusually high
quality of seed corn, with an average
termination thru the state of 95 per
cent and an adequate supply for an in
creased acreage.
Scarcity Of Farm Labor.
These facts, based on a survey which
reached every county in the state and
included total of 127 separate reports,
from official correspondents, point
clearly TO man labor, as the greatest
present need in Iowa. Sixty per cent
of the reports>>say that farm help is
scarce or very scarce: 81 per cent say
that Just now there is enough help but
that it will be scarce later: only s
per cent say that the supply is ample.
But it is thought that the labor situa-
ton will be cared for by the active CT

partment at Iowa State College in CO.
