Leaps from Balloons

Six successful leaps from captive bal
looms are to the credit of an American
aeronaut now in London for recupera-
ton after months OF active service
with the British armies In Franco. In
only one Of these exploits was the man
injured. On this occasion while falling
sideways strapped to his parachute,
which moved with stiff wind, his feet
caught in the ruins of a shell-wrecked
mill, and The muscles Of his side were
seriously strained before he could get
himself loose.
my most pronounced sensation IN all
my leaps has been that Of JOY at escap-
ing my assailant," the aeronaut ex-
plains.

PROHIBITION Law
Betterment Of Health and Moral
lily and Conservation of Rice
Are Reasons Given

TOXIC, September lS-(SPeciaD-
Enactment Of a prohibition law is be,
ing considered seriously by the Japan,
csc government, according to an an.
nOuncement from high official today.
1t is likely "dry' law may be pro
mulgated in the near future.
Two reasons are advanced for the
proposed enactment Of prohibition, said
the official. One il to improve the
health AMI morals of the Japanese PEG
pie by getting rid of sake while the
other reason is to save rice from being
used in sake brewing The recent dis
turbantcs throughout the Empire, at
tributed to. scarcity of the domestic
rice supplies, called the attention of the
government to the necessity of action
looking toward "dry' Japan with
the least delay possible.
