 Regulations Of the army and navy air services require that all occu- pants of service planes wear para chutes. but, thus far, this safety de- vice has found only limited appli- cation in civilian aviation. Beyond the air mail service, it has been use ful only in providing a side-show here and there. In the light of the success of the parachute in saving the lives Of many airmen, however, considerable curiosity has been aroused as to it's possible application in. the case of the passenger carrying plane.
 Parachutes Are Successful.
 While at first lcre was some thought that the parachute did not lend itself to use in planes carrying a large number of passengers, the cabin type ship in particular. recent experiments have indicated that this view Is not correct. Certainly the record breaking jump at the naval air station in Washington in which nine men left the cabin of a giant plane in IS seconds and landed safe ly is indicative of the feasibility of parachute use in connection with commercial aircraft.
 The navy's exhibition also estah- lished a new record in that the larg- est number of jumpers to leave one plane previously stood at seven.
 The point that IS not to be lost sight of in any consideration Of the parachute's use in passenger carry ing planes is that 1t is a device in tended for use in emergencies. Safe ty, primarily, IS taken care Of in the design and construction of the plane itself, just as it is in the case of the ocean liner. It does not re- fleet on the safety of the Leviathan, for instance, that it carries its full complement of life belts and life boats. It is interesting testimony to the confidence of government off cials and leaders of civilian aviation enterprises that they do not contem- plate the necessity of the plane passenger making very great use of the parachute.
 Parachute jumping Is something that appeals to the average man as looking "easy, but I would not want

Only Real Life Can Produc
 Such Thrilling Stories YET the poet, the dramatist, the novelist
 make their finest flights of fancy, they A can never equal the thrilling realism of life itself
 Every day, every hour, there are great human dramas unfolding that belittle the imaginative products of the cleverest pens. From fifteen to twenty of these real life stories appear in True Story Magazine every month. If they are startling in their nature, it is because life itself is startling. If they thrill the reader, 1t is because human experi> ence is packed with thrills. The secrets that lie hidden in the heart are the secrets most worth telling. It is only by peering behind the veil of human thought and action that we discover the eternal failure of evil and the eternal triumph of good.

ming another title is concerned. but
who can still give their youngers an
occa sional lesson.
There is, however. no certainty that
the name of the 1927 champion will
appear from the list that has been
mentioned. In the field also are sew
eral who, while they have not yet won
a national title, are apt to break
through any year now. Five or six
stand out more prominently than do
the others.
Perhaps the leading contender is
George Voigt, the Washington golfer.
who recently received a clean bill of
health from the United States Golf
Association. Voigt has played in only
one championship. failing to qualify
in that one. but his record in tourna-
ment play for the last two seasons
stands out more prominently than
that of any other player in the field,
barring Won Elm and Jones.
Others are Watts Gum, who was
runner-up in the amateur two years
ago and who has improved vastly be-
tween then and now; Harrison John
ston. who also is playing the finest
golf of his career: Roland Mackenzie;
Frank Dolp. recently deposed Western
amateur champion, and his successor
to that title. DR.. o. F. Willing Even

Follow Tommy Armour, as / did
in the open. and you will agree
with every one who has done this
same thing that he is one of the
finest of all iron players. I like to
watch him best of all when stray
shot has left him some 40 or so
yards from he green. with moth
ing but deep pits to carry to reach
his objective. At Oakmont his play
in this respect was outstanding.
On one such shot he almost holed
out with his spade mashie.
have pictured his playing this
shot. Note how his arms hug his
body throughout the stroke. The
shot is played with crispness and
very little pivot, but quite bit of
hip slide, as you will note by com.
pairing pictures . and 4, which
show him at the top of his back
swing and at contact. This crisp.
ness gives the ball great deal of
elevation, so that the backspin
takes hold rapidly on the green.
incidentally, one of the best ways
to study golf is to study prints of
moving pictures of the masters
playing their favorite shots. If you
really study them until able to un.
derstand them you will get a very
clear idea of how the various shots
are played.
