parachute did not catch the wind until
it had dropped for three hundred feet
and then travelled at a rapid rate
@ Bluto stated that the best jumps are
made from an altitude Of six or seven
thousand feet when the plane from the
ground appears but speck in the sky
and observers do not see him leave the
plane and it is not until the parachute
fully opens that he is seen.
Bluto, who is about thirty-fivc years
of age, has served in the navy and be-
fore going into aeroplane leaps. gave
exhibitions with balloons. In speaking
of experiences, he told Of an exhibition
he made this spring out in Nebraska,
when he made the leap at an altitude
of seven thousand feet. but the cord
shat held the parachute tO the plane
failed to break and held him suspended
there in mid air until the plane had
lost about two Thousand feet Of its
altitude. BY jumping up and down he
was able to break the cord and sue
ccedcd in making the drop to the
ground.
The parachute is packed in a neat
bundle and fastened to the upper plane
by light cord. Ropes from the para
chute are attached to a harness and
this Bluto fastens about him. He states
that everything depends on the man
ner in which the cnute is packed ana
he himself attends to folding it up.
Papers are used between each fold
so that when it Is released the. ropes
will not tagle and the air will be let
into the parachute.
Bluto is absolutely fearless and he
thinks nothing of performing the feat.
He does admit that it might be danger
GUS but with the necessary precautions
he has nothing to fear. Asked Of the
danger of landing in a grove. he stated

THREE PERCENT ON SALES

Competent business experts lay down
the rule that business may we'll ap.
propriate 3 per cent on its gross sales
for advertising. Many tests of per
cent advertising outlay have resulted
in increasing business 3 1-3 per cent.
To many people 3 per cent will seem
a rather small amount for a business
to spend to make itself known and to
communicate it's offerings to the pub
lie. Many concerns spend a good deal
more than that. and find it pays, and
that they could not exist without it.
Publicity is reckoned as one of the
essential expenses of the up to date
business. 1t no more expects to avoid
it than to avoid insurance on it's stock
or cost of clerk hire or rent You can
not sell goods unless the people know
what you have to offer, and 3 per cent
seems moderate tax fo" getting that
information to the public.

WHO IS HONEST?

The conviction Of Senator Newberry of
Michigan and the Indictment of hundreds
of government officials brings the patriotic
citizenry of the United States face to face
with a state of degeneracy common to a
large percentage Of the citizens of this
country, which is constantly growing. The
question of the hour is, Is honesty among
public officials the exception and by no
means the rule? Is not the prevailing spirit
in official circles, grab yours while the
grabbing is good? When a man spends
half million or more dollars to be elected
to seat in the U. S. Senate does he not
do so with the view of making of it a
business investment? While he pays out
the cash, yet does he not feel absolutely
certain that the moneyed interests will re-
imburse him for every dolalr he paid out?
From the North, South, East and West
reports daily pour in Of the crooked public
officials, who are grabbing the money, and
the reported ones are but small percent
age Of the actual cases. But a few days
ago we heard man, who stands high In
this community, say, he felt morally certain

Caldwell will do in the way of exposing the
Hanson stret car deal, but [ feel almost
certain that he has the facts and can make
it warm for the parties who consummated
the deal, if he wants to do so,' said this
sefr same man. Perhaps there is nothing to
this later statement but it's another proof
of the state of mind the average citizen Of
this country is in just now. "lf you are not
thief [ think you are" is the position
taken by most men out Of office concerning
those in office. And yet in the face Of this
condition many of us wonder, why $4,000
men and women voted for Duncan in the
late municipal election. We, however, do
not believe that those who voted for Dun
can were any more patrioticaly inclined
than is Jimmy Davis, member of the Wash
ington legislature, but it is another case Of
the outs wanting to get the goats of the
inns that they might have an opportunity
to likewise get their paws into the public
pit and fill their pockets with the other
fellows money. Just how this country
can much longer live under such a state Of
affairs is the burning question of the hour.

WANTS MORE MONEY

Our legislature is on call, to save us from
money squall, and protect our public in
stitutions, from private contributions, and

barques, but that went trinkling down their

Application For Order Vacating Sub

Without Warrant.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York.-The Joint Legislative
Committee that is investigating the
alleged building trust" won the f1rst
Court test of its powers here when
Supreme Court Justice HOtchkiSs de-
MED a motion to vacate service OF
subpoena for Miss Elizabeth O'Dea, an
employee of the Builders Supply Bu-
reau. Under Justice Hotchkiss' de-
cision, Miss O'Dea will be required to
appear as a witness before the COM
mittee and bring with her books, pa
pers and records Of the concern,
demanded by the subpoena Appllca-
ton for an order vacating subpoena
was made on the grounds that the
committees action in calling an en-
ploye and not an official of the firm to
produce private accounts constituted
seizure without a warrant, that the
committees power expired with the
adjournment of the Legislature. and
that the fourth amendment to the con-
stitution was violated. Justice HOtch-
kiss held that if Miss O'Dea is an en-
ploye and the records described are in
the custody of the secretary-treasurer
of the company, he did not see what
right the witness has to object that
the subpoena constitutes an unreason-
| able search or seizure of the books
| or papers of the Builders Supply Blu
reau."
eff the witness has the custody OF
papers which she may have been law
| fully subpoenaed to produce" the de
cision added. sit is her duty to obey

to appear and object at the proper
time and place. With respect TO the

stitution has any application TO john
resolution and this view certainly ha:

Hotchkiss declared that "from time i'm

legislative committees in this state tt
sit after formal adjournment of the
Legislature, even though the resolu
ton under which the committees acte[
may not have given them power Il
do so.
