Guilty of an Oversight.

A story is being told in the knit
goods trade of man who, with some
others, went into the manufacture of
silk hosiery not SO very long ago after
having been associated with the pro-
duction end of a well-known mill for
many years in minor capacity. Re-
Gently the new mill was closed for
about week, and while it was closed
some one asked the man in question
what the trouble was. "Oh, there's too
much to think about in this business"
he replied, "and / forgot something"
what did you forget?" persisted the
inquirer. "Oh." replied the mill man,
disgustedly, 81 just forgot to buy ssne
silk" !

witnessing the American Legion's
aviation meet, one of the biggest ever
held in the Southwest
Miss WEIGH dropped like a dead
weight for several feet and then the
parachute very slowly opened and the
drop earthward became more gradual.
She hit the ground with a jolt but was
uninjured.
1t was proud young woman who
received the congratulations Of the
hundreds who crowded around her for
her daring act. But Miss WEIGH says
that she isn't sure that she wants to
jump from airplanes for a living. The
big aerial meet was staged to raise
money for a Legion clubhouse at
Wichita Falls.

Such a barn as this will be a good
investment for those farmers who
want to make the most from their
cattle feeding operations. Before de-
Gliding on such. a building, however,
it is best to consult the local contrac-
tor and material dealer, either or both
of whom can give a good idea of what
this building will cost. Prices of ma
terials and labor vary in different Sec

The barn illustrated is 50 feet wide

TRAINING AGAINST DIZZINESS
Most SteepIejacks and Bridge-Builders
Have to Become Educated to
Extreme Height.

There is nothing more curious in
the makeup of mankind than the mat
ter of having a head for climbing
about at great heights. Some children
are born with it, and are like monkeys
Or squirrels, in that they never know
what it is to be giddy.
But cases of this sort are very rare
and, as a rule, long apprenticeship is
required before anyone can stand or
work unconcernedly on tall buildings,
or climb high mountains. Edward
Whymper, one of the greatest noun
taineers who ever lived, and the lead
er of the first party to ascend the
Matterhorn had, as boy wretched
head. He could not stand on house
roof without holding on.
He cured himself by lying on the
ledge of the great tower of the cathe-
dral of Notre Dame in Paris, and star
ing down into the street for an hour
at a time. Most steeplejacks and
bridge-builders have to become edu-
Gated to heights in similar fashion.
Some people are affected by running
water as others are by heights, and
are not to be trusted on the edge of
a swift river. Quite against their
will. they are forced to walk over the
edge.
The whole question of giddiness is
puzzle. The contributor. whose head
for heights is so bad that he cannot
walk along ledge thirty feet above
the street, has looked down from an
airplane hundreds of feet up. on to
pointed roofs far below, without the
slightest degree of giddiness.

in Parachute From AirpIane at
Wichita Falls.

To climb out of an airplane cockpit
and dive headfirst toward the earth 3d.
600 feet below on her second ride off
