off cliffs, diving from one of the New
York bridges, walking across the
Hudson river, treading water, carry
ing three oranges in his hands In
one of his aerial feats he says he
stands on the top wing of an airplane
while the pilot loops the loop. This
seems to be impossible, but he de-
clares the force caused by the speed
of the machine holds his feet solidly
on the machine.
Captain Fitzgerald is now recover
ing from an accident he sustained
on December s, when he made Jump
of 40 feet from a tree to running
automobile, breaking both feet, one
leg, two ribs and spraining his back.
"This man has some really surpris-
ing ideas. One reason why l credit
them is that he stands ready at all
times to prove his sincerity.
Scientists have agreed for years
that life exists on Mars he told
me. This being true, human beings
should be found there. If that proved
true, it would be quite simple to es-
tablish there some sort of communi-
cation known to this world
1--WE fliers have a general idea of
the rudiments of electricity. Why,
then, would it not be possible to ar
range a great wireless plant on Mars
to establish communication with the
earth?
Strange things have been accom-
plished in our age. The impossible is
being done every day, and no edu-
Gated, free thinking man will admit
anything is impossible. Unlike Cap
tain Fitzgerald, 1 am not impatiently
awaiting the chance to step into the
rocket, but should be called upon to
keep my word I should do so.'
Captain Collins is a keen minded
young business man, about 35 years
of age.
Besides heading the largest fliers'
club in the world, Captain Collins was
commissioned in the New York air
police.

Jump upon landing on Mars.

bump upon landing on Mars.
This is something to think about.
But scientists assure me arrange
ments would be made to stop the
flight of the rocket by control levers.
In actual tests Professor Goddard
declares the rocket he is making has
made a maximum speed of Ii miles
per second.
HE has discovered, through eX-
perimentation, that, contrary to the
general opinion, the action of es-
Gaping gases would prove more ef-
fective in the vacuum existing be-
yond the limits of the Gocoronium
of the earth than within the air COM
posing that atmospheric blanket.
This, he says, would mean even a
greater speed, and with no air to
cause friction the possibility of the
metal being melted away would no
doubt be eliminated.
Has Received Letters.
1T has been suggested that fins be
placed on the forward end, or nose,
of such a projectile and valve ar
ranged to cut off the passage of the
escaping gases, so that the speed of
the rocket might be decreased and
possibly safe landing made, with
parachutes or other means.
Here l wish to call attention to
several letters 1 have received from
persons who have offered to make
similar leap or to go with me-
Among these, the most interesting
are the offers of Captain Charles N.
Fitzgerald, flier from Texas, now
living in New York, and Miss Ruth
Phillips, a young woman of Kansas
City, Mo.
"Captain Fitzgerald is so thorough
ly interested that he has called and
volunteered his willingness to pro-
ceed, accompany or follow me in a
rocket
From his statement, Mr.. Fitzger-
aid seems confident he could COM
plete such a leap. He has performed
a long list of feats, such as jumping

A Tribute To Our President

To our President, Woodrow Wilson,
Who has nearly served his time;
He has been faithful to his country,
Leaving not a stain behind.
Remember, when you step out,
To try and bear in mind,
For God and man he did his best,
Though some have been unkind.
May l live to see the day
What History's Page of you will
say.
For a more honorable man never
filled the chair
Than Woodrow Wilson. with heart
so true
For God and his people,
For the Red, White and Blue.
Attic we have been defeated,
Our hearts are sad and tried;
We all went forth and voted
And rallied to his side.
May our noble President
Go forth and be of cheer,
Think of those who for you fought,
For those who hold you dear.
When away at last you are called
To Him beyond the skies,
The wish of all who know you best
May your memory never die.
B. r. A Penns Grove
who cast her first vote to uphold
Woodrow Wilson's principles and the
democracy of her forefathers.

NEW HAMPSHIRE REPRESENTATION

Concord, N. H.. Feb 4---New Hampshire is in danger of losing it's claim to the distinction of having one of the largest representative 1egisla- tive bodies in the United States. In the hall of the House of Representa- ives in the capitol are 421 seats, and at sessions of the legislature the House has 402 members.
 But the constitutional convention which recently adjourned voted to submit to the people constitutional amendment whereby the membership of the House would be materially re- duced. Under this plan representa- ion of towns and city wards would 5e based upon t!le number of votes cast at the election preceding that at which the representa- tives were cho- sen.
 The framers of the present consti- tuition of the Granite State endeav- ored to give the people of every moun- tain and hill town a voice in 1egisla- tive proceedings. They decreed that at every session of the general court,'' or legislature, there should be one representative from each town or ward of 600 or more population, with one additional representative for every addition of 200 inhabitants. and that towns with Q. population less than GOO should send a representative such proportionate part of the time as the number of it's inhabitants shall bear to 60O.'' Some of the towns 'fpro- portionately'' represented have less than 300 inhabitants and a few have less than POO.

LIVE WIRES HAVE
 ARRANGED FOR
 A FINE COURSE

Those live wires who arrange the entertainment courses for the Mems League of the Park Street Congrega- tionaI Church are right on the job again. Next Friday, February 9th, at o'clock they will for the second time present Strickland W. Gillian, this partly to satisfy hundreds who heard him on his first appearance at the church three years ago, as well as to allay the clamor of hun dreds of others who having heard of and read him, demand to see and hear him also.
 "Strick'' Gillian is popularly held as something more than en enter tainment. He's a treat, an event" " has been said of him. His monologues such as 'The Sleeping Car" and Hospital Experiences are classics as absurdities His poem t1The Cry of an Alien'' has been described as 2 thrilling appeal to every man who ever had a religion or whose mother had one"
 In serious speech he also aptly n- illustrates the truth of adage that only the "F'ool is the Wise Man." This gifted entertainer and writer's name is so known to Iegions of readers of leading worlds magazines that mere word of mouth announcement that lie was to appear has already resulted in sales of hundreds of tickets.
