JAMES HUGHES IN AVIATION
DenisOn Youth Contracts to Make
Parachute Leaps From Acceptance
At: Fancy Salary

James Hughes, Denison youth, was
in Council Bluffs last week where he
signed a contract with a Mr.. Nielsen
to make parachute leaps from an aero
plane for a period of thirty -twoIwee
at a fancy salary of $6,400.00. He
commences his work May LIST and in
company with Nielsen will make county
fairs and celebrations of various kinds
throughout the west putting on novel
stunts.
Jimmie" Hughes tried out the
stunt! while in Council Bluffs and stated
that Nielsen was well pleased with his
work. Nelson piloted the plane and
they climbed up some three thousand
feet when Jimmie" crawled out on
one of the wings and made his leap in
TO space. The young man thought
he was doomed in his initial tryout
for the parachute failed to open until
it had dropped some $500 feet and
then with such force that the harness
bruised him considerably.
When the United States entered the
war Hughes enlisted in the Aviation
service and worked as mechanic. He
had considerable experience with the
aeroplanes and it was always his de-.
sire to go up but his ground work Kept
him busy. When he learned of the
opening with Nielsen at Council Bluffs
he jumped at the opportunity and was
successful in securing a contract They
expect to average three or four flights
