 Crowd By Parachute Jump Dur
ing '' Air Circus.

If you were in a balloon 2,000 feet side sort of difidently and looked at all the people standing on the nice hard ground waiting for you to step out. would you decide that the balloon basket was safe enough for you or would you go through with the pro- gram? This situation recently con- fronted Lieutenant Harry A. Burdick, son of James M. Burdick Of the Stanley Rule and Level Co.,, during an exhibition of air stunts at the Arcadia Balloon school in California
 All the folks in the country for miles around had been urged to at tend the circus during which daring army airmen were scheduled to stand on thcir heads an~ click their heels. And the folks attended and the air men risked their limbs in order that the gallery" might receive it's quota ot thrills The most exciting stunt of the afternoon was provided by the ofncerS and students of the bal loon school, who Were carried up by the huge gas bags and stepped off into space.
 Describing the events of the day, a Los Angeles newspaper printed the following:
 Landing on a garage roof without losing his footing and immediately gaining control of his parachute. Second Lieutenant Harry A. Burdick made the most spectacular drop of the afternoon. Crawling over the side Of the basket while it dangled i,.N Io+ Tn Q hundred feet his parachute opened perfectly. He hung motion less for moment, then gently began his descent, looking like a tiny crab hanging to the end of a string. He oVercame the difficulty imposed by the parachute harness, keeping his feet on the slippery roof and jerking his parachute to him.
