wedding anniversary today and will
attend dinner given In their honor.
Both have been residents of this city
since their marriage
Mr.. Maltby. 20 years old and a ma.

late Sidney Maltby. inventor of one of

of the late Thomas Thompson. a pio

72 years old.

Jumped to Avoid Crash.
The pilot suffered no dizziness or
symptoms of distress until the 10000
foot level was reached. The eyepieces
of his oxygen mask had become almost
entirely coated with frost. and Wis
ibillty was possible only through a
space about the size of a nickel. which
remained clear throughout the flight.
Eight miles UP the rate OF ascent
slowly decreased. so desiring to attain
a still higher altitude, Capt. Gray
dropped one Of the oxygen cylinders
over the side attached to parachute.
They he began to experience symp-
toms of distress. He opened the valve
of the balloon for about three seconds
and the craft started to descend rapid
ly--between 1,400 and 1000 feet per
minute.
When at about 5000 feet Capt.
Gray found the balloon still falling
very rapidly, and as he had no further
ballast to throw away and thus
tighten the balloon and check its de-
scent, he jumped with his parachute
to avoid a serious crash. The bal
loon Immediately shot up again Tor
many thousand feet. and finally came
back to earth. The balloon crashed
lightly and none Of the instruments
was damaged.
At $4,000 feet Capt. Gray said he
got excellent radio reception from a
broadcasting station at st. Louis, and
was entertained by the program until
the station signed off.
Inasmuch as Capt. Gray suffered no
serious i'll effects from his venture,
and in view of the fact that his rec
ord was thrown out, it is held he
may again attempt to break the Ger
man performance in the near future.

tude of 42,470 feet--the highest man
ever has travelled skyward in any type

tory as an official record because the
pilot violated regulation by jumping
with his parachute on the descent
when it appeared he would crash.
Porter Adams, president of the
National Aeronautic Association,
which submitted the flight data to the
Federation Aeronautique Information
ale at Paris for homologation as a
world record. has been informed that
the federation. at it's recent annual
meeting. could not grant the record
owing to the provision governing air
craft contests which stipulateS the
pilot cannot leave the aircraft in
flight.
Godfrey l.. Cabot. former president
of theassociation, and now vice presi-
dent of the federation and American
delegate to the annual meeting which
was held in Zurich. Switzerland. put
up stiff fight for the record, but was
ruled out by the regulations. The as
tions when 1t submitted the data to

Capt. Gray's first attempt to lower
