'SERG6aNTS HAD
 ENOUGH THRILLS

Washington, Aug. 11-Army avfa- tors have long since ceased to get many thrills out of routine or even stunt flying. it is sadd, but an ex- ception should be made in the case of two sergeants who recently set out to break the worlds altitude record for a parachute jump at McCook field, Dayton, O., according to an Air Ser vice announcement. The men were Sergeants Strong B. Madam and Ralph BottreiL
 The sergeants, without intimating the nature of their objective, took the air in a Le Pere two-seated plane with Madam as the pilot and Bot treiI wearing a standard army para chute of the double-pack type. After flying for an hour the plane had reached an altitude of 20,60O feet and Sergeant Bottreil started to climb out of the cockpit to make the jump.
 The release ring of his parachute however, accidently caught on the fuselage of the plane and the para chute opened prematurely, dragging the sergeant out over /le tail of the machine Bottreirs arm struck the rudder of the plane as he went by, tearing some fragments of his arm and ripping off a sleeve of his fur
 
 harness at the same time caught the rudder and tore it from the plane. The parachute itself was damaged, but opened as the sergeant cleared the machine and started his long de- scent
 Sergeant Bottrei1 lost considerable blood from his injured arm during the drop, but made a safe landing in a plowed field and received medical at tention in time to prevent any seri- ous result from his injury.
 Meantime. Sergeant Madam, in a rudderless airplane, 20,600 feet in the air, was having troubles of his own. He finally found a position where he ! could maintain a straight flight by keeping the throttle in certain po- sftion and tilting the plane with the aflerons. In this manner he glided down to within about 5000 feet of earth where he managed to make a wided turn by juggling his throttL and aileron controls, strengthened out and made perfect landing without further damage to his machine.
