ROADS AND
UNIONS ARE
TO FARLEY

The railroads have granted the
unions appeal for another meeting
Tor the purposeiof adjusting their diff.
ferences and resun1ing work. Just
what will be the outcome is purely a
matter of conjecture. The idea pre-
walls with many that this will be the
end of the strike as the two contend
ing sides will get-together.
Indications are that the govern
ment will take over all roads that are
at present tied up by the strike un-
less an immediate settlement is reach
ed.
The strike leaders have concessions
to offer it is understood, in the mat
ter of seniority that may bring the
rail heads to conclude peace with
them.

There seems to be no general
standard measurement of ear corn. In
some parts of the country the custom
Is to figure double the quantity Of ear
corn to that Of shelled corn. The

tains 2.150.4 cubic inches, so In

Eva Moss, 20, Was Doing

COULDN'T RISE
FROM ROPE LADDER
Pilot, After Giving Her
Many Chances To Jump,
Had to Land

Cleveland, Tenn, Oct. I4.-The body
of Miss Eva Moss, 20-year-old Chatta-
nooga stenographer. killed yesterday in
| a unique accident on the final airplane
| fight, which was to have advanced her
from the apprentice TO the professional
class Of stunt performers, today was
en- route back home for burial
The airplane, pilcted by Aviator
PEBBLES. scared To two thousand feet
when Miss Moss climbed on wing, de-
scended 25-foot rope ladder and sus
pended herself by her teeth. Then came
time for her to climb back into the
plane for the return to earth-her ap-
premiership ended now professional
fiier. But exhaustion or fear or per
haps both, had overtaken her, and she
was unable to make her way back.
PEBBLES seeing her predicament, few
over lake and motioned for her to
drop but she feared 10 take the chance
or else was entangled and could not.
SO again the plane scared into the
clouds
The mechanician on the ground, sens
ing the tragedy, sent hurry call for
an ambulance and doctors.
Sill the plane circled about, giving
the girl every chance to make her way
back, but darkness was fast descend
ing and landing was necessary
PEBBLES headed for the landing field.
and, holding the deathship about p or
30 feet from the ground he again mo.
toned the girl to let loose and fall but
still she held on.
The pfsne dipped to the ground. its
speed slackened to the minimum, but
the girlish form at the end of the rope
ladder crashed with terrific impact
and was dragged nearly 100 feet.
The doctors leaped to her side but
their efforts were futile and she died
within 20 minutes.
PEBBLES, broken hearted, declared he
never would fiy again. His wife was
pros strated.
Miss Moss had been training for 30
days and was to have started her pro-
feseional career to-day. Last Friday
she made a parachute leap Of 1000 feet
and sustained sprxined ankle and ii
was then that the crowds watching
learned for the first time that the dar- |
ing stunt performer was woman.
