Jordan-Bailey Marriage.

The first Sunday in February will
be long remembered by many rela-
tives and friends of the brides sister,
Mrs. Warren VIM, to witness the
marriage of Miss Clara Jordan to Mr..
Tee Bailey.
The bonnie little bride was accom-
panied to the altar by Mr.. Bailey,
where under the typical wedding bell
Rev. Mr.. Kesterson pronounced them
man and wife.
Mr.. Bailey had just returned from
the camp six weeks ago, and the we'd
ding had been planned some time ago.
The bride wore a beautiful silk
dress with accessories to match. They
drove home after the marriage to
his fathers home, where they will live
for the present. May Gods richest
blessings always attend them and
may dark cloud never rest upon
them, is the wish of
A Friend.

FLIERS GLIDE UNDER
EAST RIVER BRIDGES
CrorDds See Daring Feat of
Three Planes.

Three airplanes in formation few be-
meath the bridges of the East River yes
terday noon, TO the amaEement and de-
light of the bridge crowds. Lieut.. \. s.
Roberts was flight leader. with Lieut..
y. L. Elliott on the left flank and Lieut..
c. II. Burgess on the right.
Burgess Is a glutton for sensation. He
was the hero of the airplane wedding
which thrilled the thousands at the seq
ono police games at Sheepshead Bay
early this month.
The stunt of yesterday was more or
less a spontaneous one. No announce
ment of II had been made and those who
were on the bridges or along the shore
where they could see IL were the lucky
ones. The three planes left Hazlehurst
Field yesterday morning for a mere prac-
tice Jazz" around New York. Coming
down the East River at high altitude,
Lieut.. Roberts observed that the air was
still, visibility good and conditions gem
orally favorable.
So about a mile above the Blackwells
Island Bridge he cut off his motor and
slid down, with his tive companions fol-
lowing every move with perfect preci-
sion. Like a huge arrowhead. the three
planes dove for the bridge at speed
so frightful that watchers held their
breath or scurried out OF the way. II
looked as II they were headed straight
for the structure But they glided easily
and silently beneath 1t by nearly fifty
feet.
! AS they cleared the bridge the three
motors roared into action again and the
planes zoomed up for the second stretch
down the river. The same tactics were
I repeated at the Williamsburgh. Manhat-
, tan and Brooklyn bridges, with dive
and a zoom for each one. They cleared
the Brooklyn Bridge at 80 and were
! home at Hazlehurst Field by 2:S5.

.PARACHUTIST'S LEAP
SETS NEW RECORD
Major Lees Only $50 Feet Up
in Seaplane When He
Jumps.

Major Orde Lees, late of the British
AIT Force. jumped in a parachute from
seaplane shortly after noon yesterday
from a height of $50 feet and landed on
the water near the Statue of Liberty.
He was picked up by a motor boat.
The exhibition was given for the Pop
uIdr Science Monthly to prove that
parachuting with Major Lees Guardian
Angel parachute Is safe even at low
attitudes. Yesterdays feat established a
record for low altitude parachute Jump
ing from fast moving airplane.
So quickly did the parachute open
yesterday that Major Lees said that he
could have made the jump from a height
of 100 feet. His intention was to drop
from 200 feet. but as he said. ITS
hard to Judge exactly and l under
stand that the jump was from $50 or
ESQ feet-somewhere between the two"
The drop took about five seconds. so
Major Lees said, md was successful
How the moving pictures which were
made came out is not known yet.
"Oh, yes" said Major Lees in answer
to the question of fear, ut is a nervous
ordeal every time I make a parachute
| jump There Is always the element OF
| fear in every parachutist's work because
| OF the uncertainty of the affair. But I
have great confidence in my Guardian

| feature which no other parachute pos
