as the Pennsylvania Senator is one Of
the most ardent advocates of this Ma
tons entrance into the World Court.
1t is naturally supposed that Presi-
dent Coolidge wants to talk over this
matter with him at great length.
This is made very evident not only
because the President sent for Senator
Pepper to come to White Court, but
he Is understood to want to get Sena-
tor Peppers ideas regarding how the
World Court subject should be han
died when Congress next assemblies.
Mr.. Coolidge has just gone over a
tentative administration legislative
program with Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, Republican leader of the Senate,
and It has been intimated that the po-
sition of the World Court legislation
was omitted from this program until
the President has talked with Mr..
Pepper and possibly one or two others.
Representative Purnell of Indiana, a
member of tthe House committee on
agriculture, and who has been identi-
fed more or less prominently with
House farm bloc, has been invited TO
come to White Court, and 1t was said

nanding the district of Washington,
and will be in charge of Maj. Millard
+. Harmon. acting commander Of
Boiling Field.
Upside-Down Flying.
The stunts. ranging from "wing-
walking" piane-to-plane jumping and
balancing atop a ship in the act of
looping the loop, to a startling exhi-
oition OF upside-down flying, will be
performed by group of eX,service
men composing Gates Flying Circus,
a California organization OF aerial
acrobats engaged for the occasion by
the Army Air Service.
Supplementing the "daredeviIs" will
be squadrons OF Army, Navy and
Marine flyers from Boiling Field, the
Naval Air Station here. the Quantico
flying field, and probably from Lang
ley Field, Hampton Roads, Va;
Mitchell Field, Long Island, and other
points.
All of the stunts will be staged
close to the ground, in full view of
the spectators at the field. Just be-
tore each major event is scheduled
heavy smoke screen will be laid en-
tirely around Boiling Field, shutting
OF the view to any but those on the

climb to the passing plane above.
A number Of men who have tried the
same stunt in recent years have

their death. ''Diavolo," who is but
rs years old and unmarried. is conf
dent he won't miss.
Another of Krantz's acts here win
be to stand erect without support Of

pilot starts looping the loop. Krantz
is enabled to stick to the frail wing
