to Hodge Smith, pilot Of the plane,

tity.

former had been thrilling the crowds
attracted by the appearance Of the
flying circus. To climax the days
performance he attempted human

hang from a rope attached to the

temps in which each time his finger
touched the wing, he gave up the bat

tempt to make a landing, but the
