 He is the man who writes in the sky. A thick ie: of white smoke issuing from his airplane writes words for crowds below to read He's a British aviator who is trying to sell the sky at space rates for advertising purposes.
 Sky writing is a success in Eng land," says Turner, who lives at Hotel Pennsylvania when he isn't up in the air. "Ive advertised every thing from cigarets to camisoles. Pm going to tour America now"
 Turner considers himself the first person to come from Europe with a message for America which every body will have to read whether he wants to or not
 "The airplane travels 125 miles an hour," said Turner, land the smoke pipe releases 250,000 cubic feet of smoke per second. I've written with a 70-mile gale blowing. Sometimes the smoke letters retain their shape for half an hour. The letters are written horizontally and are a mile in length-but 10000 feet in the air they look only few feet high"
 More than 1000 telephone calls reached Turner after he wrote his telephone number in the sky.

 Deer and Escape

QUINCY, Calif., Dec. 14.-Six Cali fornia mountaineers, caught by an early, heavy snowfall in the high Sierras, captured 12 wild deer, har- messed them together with ropes and belts. hitched them to an improvised drag and broke a trial back to civi- lization.
 The men were working early in November building a, summer camp at Gold Lake, point far up in the mountains. When a heavy snow storm came up unexpectedly, they found themselves with only a few provisions and without snow shoes or skis. Help could not reach them, they knew, before several days.
 Steve Pezzola, the leader of the crew, immediately set about making sets of skis for himself and his men, using such lumber as was available. In the meantime, the snow continued to fall until more than five feet GOV cred the roads and trails
 On the second night of the storm herd of deer, fleeing before the snow, sought refuge in the camp Grasping the opportunity. Pezzola and his companions herded the ami mals in one of the uncompleted rooms
 The next morning the deer were harnessed to drag and the six casta- ways, mounted son homemade skis and hanging to the drag, started off successfully guided until they had broken road through the deepest parts of the snow-covered forest and had arrived almost at the edge of the tableland where the road starts down out of the mountains

 The bear was peevish, and as it was growing dark and Campbelrs gun was loaded only with birdshot, he climbed tree and began to shout for help.
 When Williams arrived the bear was stationed under the tree. his eyes glued on Campbell. Williams killed the animal, which weighed 400 pounds.
