sORTUNE WAS WITH AVIATOR
Otherwise His First Attempt to "Loop the Loop" in Air Would Have
 Been His Last.

It took many days of nerving myself ID to the point and many steep dives before I decided to flip her over" Phillip Dwight Rader writes in Sun set.
 The sun was high above me and ] had attained an altitude of about 5000 feet when I felt I was ready to take the plunge. To this day am grateful to the maker of the machine because he constructed it so good and strong If the plane had had a flaw, the man. ner in which I took that first loop would have landed me in the ceme- tery.
 When the impulse came over me, felt around to see if my belt was se- cure. It was. Bracing myself for the ordeal, l gave her full power and showed her nose straight down. Straight for the earth I went the combined force of gravitation and of the wide engine giving the plane a fearful speed, the stays shrieking in the wind and the control columns vii brating in my hand with the enormous pressure.
 Steadily, firmly, pulled the controls back. As if by magic the earth van lshed from sight and my feet pointed toward the sun. It lasted only for moment. While my ears were still deafened by the rush of blood to the head, the earth hove into sight again at queer angle and my head seemed to be pushed back between my shoul- ders. In another second the earth re- sumed its accustomed position. had looped the loop!
 But oh! what loop! Later expe- rience taught me to throttle little on the dive and to dive much less, or with Just enough speed to put the plane on It's back and then let it fall out of the loop. In that first loop of mine I must have had a speed of 150 miles an hour and how the plane stuck to- gether with that terrific pressure has always been mystery to mel

AWARDED MEDAL OF MERIT
Philadelphian Honored for invention of est-known Device for Count.
 ing Blood corpuscles.

The Franklin institute has recently awarded its Edward Longstreth medal of merit to Mir. Max Levy of Philadel- phia, Pa., for his new form of haemo, cytometer. The purpose of this device Is to provide an improvement in cham bers for counting blood corpuscles. The specific improvement Is In forming the entire chamber. with the exception of the cover glass, from single plate of glass. Cross lines, one-twentfeth of a millimeter apart, are ruled upon the glass base, thus dividing the surface into squares one-four hundredth of 6 square millimeter in area. The surface npon which these rulings are made Is one-tenth of a millimeter below the un- der surface of the cover glass through which the blood cOrpuscles are counted with the aid of a microscope. The channels in this haemocytometer run across the slide, making it much easier to clean than the disk form. A modi- ncation has the rulings made on a sep arate plate, cemented into a transverse groove cut in the base plate, into which 1t Is accurately fitted. The instrument Is a decided improvement over those heretofore obtained from Germany Scientific American.

Potatoes for Ducks.

Ducks, as well as humans. must eat substitutes.
 Small potatoes, too small, in fact. for the farmer to have paid any atten- ton to ordinarily, are said to have solved the problem when mixed with carrots and other materials, minus wheat.
 "No wheat Is to be used for duck feeding" said W. B. Aver, Oregon food administrator. Substitutes must be found, and I am told that patriotic owners of duck lakes have discovered a remedy and have applied it. They are paying high prices for small po- tatoes, which in former days would not have been dug at all. These they are mixing with other materials and the ducks are thriving on them."

FIFTY-FIFTY FISCAL
SYSTEM BILL FILED
Jones Measure Urges Nation
Pay Equal Share of Dis
trict's Expenses.

Senator Jones, of Washington,
yesterday introduced a bill prcvid-
ing for the re-establishment' of the
$3.50 fiscal system, by which the
District of ColumDia's running ex-
penses are shared equally by, the
Federal government, instead of 40
to so per cent as during the last
year.
The measure stipulates the use of
the Districts surplus in the Federal
Treasury and provides that the tax
rates in Washington shall not be
less than IL per cent.
When the revenues of the District
are insufficient for the payment of
so per cent of the funds required for
the expenses of the local govern
ment, the Secretary of the Treasury
Is authorized to advance such neces-
sary money as may be rcquisitioned
by the District Commissioners to
meet the general expenses. the
Treasury to be reimbursed from tax
collections made the following year
or years.
The bill is similar to that which
failed to pass in the House during
the last session of Congress.
The hope that the measure will be
passed at the extra session in order
to become law before the begin
ming Of the new fiscal year, SO that
its terms will apply tos'the appro-
priations bill. effective July 1, was
expressed yesterday. the many
changes in the House removing
much of the opposition to the meas
ure there.

Germans Fear Violence
By French on May First

BERLIN. April 1s-Reports that
the French military party and the
French political apostles Of might
are secretly agitating measures of
war against Germany on May l,
are causing no little concern in
German government circles today.
Under pressure of the increasing
ly belligerent tone of Paris and an
unbroken stream of French threats.
the Berlin government is stirring
itself to action.
Chancellor Fehrenbach and For
eign Minister Simons returned to
Berlin at noon today on the same
train and within half an hour were
in conference with President Ebert.
Fehrenbach Immediately issued q
call for a Cabinet meeting, which
convened at 5 o'clock
Convinced that there is a secret
agreement between France and
England by which France will be
given greater freedom Of action
against Germany. and that America
will not exercise any restraining in
fuence. there is a decidedly increas-
ing disposition being manifested
here to take the initiative toward
new counter proposals.
DR.. Simons found a decidedly hos
tile political atmosphere here upon
his arrival and il was intensified by
news of an interview given by hin,
In Switzerland to a French journal
list.
In his interview Simons is said
to have stated that the German
government would make new pro-
iposals. There is a growing demand
that Dr.. Simons resign as foreign
minister.
Not the slightest doubt exists here
but that France will strike a blow
at Germany on May 1, from which
she will not soon recover. unless
some action Is taken by foreign
powers or by the German govern
ment effectually to avert such q
crisis.

This action came as the result OF

HARDING POLICY
in COLOMBIAN
TREATY TYPICAL
Friendliness for Americas
Indicated by Step, De-
clares Sullivan.
BY MARK SULLIVAN,

When Harding picked the Colon.
foreign program, his principal mo-
tive was that the plscating OF Co
lombis should be the frst step in a
broad policy cf ercStfh hs- friendif-
ness for and confidence in the
United States on the part of not
only Colombia but also Mexico and
all Latin-America.
Secretary Fall is among the small
group of President HardIng's ad-
visers whose counsel he takes on
the subject of Mexico. and Secretary
Fall advised the passage of the CO.
lombian treaty as a means of show
ing Mexico and all Latin America
that we intend to treat those coun-
tries as equals, and intend to honor
their just demands on US. just as
much as we are determined to make
them honor our just demands on
them for damages that have been
done to us and to our people in
their various revolutions. q
This motive having caused Hard
ing to decide to push the Colom-
bian treaty. he approached various
Republican Senators who had op-
posed the treaty in past years, and
asked them privately to withdraw
their opposition. The President was
probably surprised by the vehe-
mence with which some of these
Republican Senators refused. One
Of those of whom President Hard
ing made this request was Senator
Kellogg, of Minnesota. Senator kel-
logg refused the request firmly and
will make one of the arguments
against the adoption of the treaty.
A Form of "Persuasion.,
The elevation Of Senator Kellogg,
at the beginning of the present ses-
sion, to a position on the Foreign
Relations Committee was interpret
ed, somewhat humorously, as a
means of persuading him to with
draw his opposition to the Colom-
bian treaty. BY the rule of senior
ity, Senator Kellogg has long been
entitled to a place on the Foreign
Relations Committee, but younger
Senators have been passed over his
head.
Although Kellogg and some 9TH
ers stand by their opposition, sew
eral Republican Senators who for
merly opposed the treaty have
yielded to President Harding's re-
quest and are now going to vote
for it, notably Senator Lodge, the
