SAN ANTONIO, Tex.-A safe
Jump with a parachute from an air
plane speeding at seventy to seventy
five miles an hour has long been one
of the problems of aviation which
now bids fair to be solved.
No longer will the parachute
jumper leap from the rear cockpit
of the speeding plane and drop thru
space until his parachute finally
opens. Army flyers at Kelley Field,
near this, city, have just tried new
parachute jump and pronounce it
far superior to jumping from the
cockpit. They do not Jump" in fact,
but are literally blown or yanked off
the top wing Of the airplane by the
opening parachute.
Sergeants Kemensky and Shoe
maker, of the Air Service Mechanics
school, are the ones who have sue
cessfully tried the new style of jump
ing. They used the regulation army
parachute pack, but fastened the
pack to their backs instead of fast
ening it in front. They chung to the
top of the upper wings lying prone,
and at signal from the pilot Of the
plane pulled the ring of the ripcord
of the parachute pack. This opened

Observation-Disclosures agents
are at work in the United States in
an attempt to retard the progress Of
the American merchant marine, &C
cording to information obtained from
the United States shipping board. 1t
is charged by officials of the board
that reports to the effect that the
house committee on merchant marine
has completed a report showing huge
graft and irregularities in the ship
ping board are part of the plan Of
foreign agents to discredit the ship
ping board and its work.
1t was stated at the offices of the
house merchant marine committee
that the committee has not defeated
it's report and that Chairman Walsh
has refused to make any preliminary
statement as to the possible findings.
It was stated that report has been
drawn by experts employed by the
committee showing the result of
their investigation but that this re-
port has not been submitted and will
not be acted upon until in Novem-
Der.
Furthermore it was stated the re-
port of the experts will be an attempt
to aid the shipping board and will
not be exposed of Irregularities by
individuals.
Officials Of the shipping board ad-
mitted that they have conducted an
investigation of reports of the ship
ping board, which have been circu-
lated from time to time, and that it
has been fairly well established that
these reports have originated with
men who have close foreign connec-
tions.
According to officials of the ship
ping board the "ring'' that is alleged
to be working in opposition to the
success of +he shipping board is
closely connected with certain Bri-
fish, German and Chinese interests.

COUNTRY'S WOOL
LOSS SIXTY MILLION
Seventy-hve Per Cent of
1920 Clip Still in
Warehouse

WASHINGTON wool clip
this year aggregates two hundred
fifty-nine million three hundred and
seven thousand pounds. At prices
prevailing in September last year il
would have brought one hundred and
thirty-three million dollars, but this
year, on the basis of current prices,
it would bring only seventy-three
million dollars, reduction of about
sixty million dollars"
This is the wool situation in the
U. s. today as briefly set forth by
Secretary Of Agriculture Meredith in
an address before the American
Bankers association. The secretary
did not attempt to explain the rea-
sons behind the slump; he was
merely showing how the American
farmer is now called upon to sell his
crops, not only wool, but all lines, at
figures materially lower than pre-
vailed a year ago, often at less than
the cost of production.
Government statistics found in the
department of agriculture, the de-
partment Of commerce and the war
department, throw considerable light
upon the decline in wool prices and
the lack of demand for the 1920 wool
clip, rs per cent Of which is still in
the hands of the owners or in ware
houses, because there is practically
no market.
To begin with, the war department
from early January, 1919 to October
Of this year, has dumped on the
merican market COS, 455,744
pounds Of surplus wool, which it had
accumulated during the war in an
ticipation of long continued de-
mand for uniforms, blankets and
winter underwear for the army Of
four million men. A larger part OF
this vast surplus was foreign wool,
which had been acquired by the war
department from South America,
from Australia and from every
source from which high grade wool
could be obtained in the stressing
days Of the war.
This surplus of government-owned
wool was not sacrificed by the war
department; on the other hand, 1t
sold in the aggregate for $403,343,-
569.16 an average price of more than
Sc cents per pound. And this enorm-
GUS stock Of surplus war department
wool, dumped on the American mar
ket in the past twenty months,
largely supplied the diminishing
needs of the wooden manufacturing
establishments and to that extent re-
duced the market and demand for
the better grades Of American-grown
wool that make up the clipsof 1920.

Effects Of County Division
In practically every instance where
decrease in the number of farms is
shown it is due to the fact that the
county has been cut up since the
1910 census and was taken to form
new counties. Where no figures are
given for 1910 the county has been
created since that year.

JAPS NAVAL Squirt rs UN-
EQUALLED IN HER HISTORY

TOKIO.-The effect of America g
naval shipbuilding is clearly re-
flected in japan, which is engaged
in squirt dnequalled in her history.
The figures Of the naval estimates for
the past year, the current year, and
those prepared by. the Admiralty for
incorporation in the next budget in
December Or January show how
strenuous is the effort:
1920 ............. e25,000,000
1920-21 .......-...... 100000
1922 .....-..... 100000
Thus, within three years there is
an increase Of nearly 100 per cent,
and at the same time the army ex-
penditure is being largely augu-
mented. During the current year con-
siderably more than half of the coun.
try's revenue was devoted to military
and naval purposes.
The Tokyo Nichi Nichi states that
whatever the League of Nations may
decide regarding disarmament the
figures mentioned represent Japan's
minimum necessities, though she will
meet the other Powers on minor
points such as displacement and size
Of crews. But IL America should re-
main outside the League the League
would become a mere conference, and
Japan's representatives would decline
to commit the empire.
