James T. (Jim- my) Clark, stationed at the naval air station in Washington. who al ready has made 70 chute jumps declares all one has to do is pull the rip cord"
 A Valuable Adjunct.
 The parachute has proved itself a valuable adjunct to the development of the airplane of recent years, and it has had history that is amazing ly interesting. The latter is true, of course, because the device has made it possible for men to look death in the face and know it's powerlessness. The aviation world owes the help ful presence of some of it's most notable figures 10 the fact that they were equipped with parachutes when their planes gave up the struggle. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh for instance, Is the most prominent member of the famous Caterpillar Club" with four emergency jumps to his credit.
 There are several varieties of parachutes, but the general design of them all is approximately the same. The Umbrella" is made of the finest silk, the product of the caterpillar cocoon-which. incident ally. provides the the name of the club that is made up of military flyers who have had to jump to save their lives.
 The three types of chutes are known as back, lap, and seat types, the designation denoting the posi- ton in which they are worn. Regardless of it's type, the chute is attached to the flyer by means Of q harness made of heavy webbing. This harness Is suspended from the ring which gathers the various guide ropes of the chute and pro- vides a swing in which the chute user may ride with the assurance that he will not fall out.
 Flyer Wears Harness
 The flyer gets into the chute har ness before he enters the plane. It is compactly packed. In case of an emergency during the aerial jour ney, all that Is necessary is to get over the side of the plane and, once fin the clear" pull the rip cord pin which rests at ones belt on the left

side. The chute' opens, and one comes down easily.
 There is one chance Of trouble in connection with the use Of para chute, but this is by no means as great as one would think. That chance is in making an unfortunate 1 landing. It may appear that one would land wherever the chute and the wind indicated. While this is somewhat true, it is equally true that, withrn limits, d parachute can be guided, much in the manner that child can guide q rope swing.
 Chute Can Be Guided
 The susceptibility Of the chute to guidance has saved many jumpers from landing on power wires or in other dangerous places. It also has enabled pilots to steer courses out of the path of their falling planes. Incidentally, Gel. I.indbergh has had both of these experiences. Good jumpers in the military and naval air services have been known to land NIlIlllI d lt" It'l ol tliC liitlI loI which they jumped but the novice would not have such finesse, of course.
 Tho seat-type parachute is most generally used in the Army and Navy air services, but its efficiency is greatest in the case of a fairly slow travelling plane for it's bulk and position interfere with q hasty exit from q pursuit or other fast ship. The back and lap types permit easi- CT and quicker egress from the cock pit in case of emergency. Incidental ly, it was a back-type chute that made possible the successful jump of Lieut.. H. s. McClellahd, test pilot for the Department of Commerce, who leaped from a plane falling at an estimated speed of 2S0 miles an hour.
 While all users of military planes, pilots and passengers, are required to wear the parachute on every flight, jumping is the speciality of the Triggers" the crew in charge or keeping lHtoC HdltlS ut'lIeS ready for emergency service. Pilots and passengers may jump to save their lives, but Triggers" jump to prove their confidence-and the confidence Of others-in their own ability to pack a parachute so 1t will function perfectly and immedi- ately.

 Always Kept fin Order
 A large stock of parachutes is carried in the operations headquar- ters at every military and naval air establishment. It is the duty of the triggers to keep everyone of these in perfect working order at all times. To be certain of this, every chute is repacked at least once a month and given q thorough examination as to its condition.
 Balloon parachute jumping is old, starting in the middle of the 10th century. Because the plane became vastly different type of aerial ve- hicle, however. 1t was not until the

closing days of the war that the parachute was nsed with it. It is a comparatively simple proposition 10 leave a slowly travelling balloon in d chute, but leaping from a fast speeding plane was considered inn possible for many years.
 Had the parachute been in use during the World War. many of the greatest air fighters would have been spared. Lieut.. Frank Luke, sec ond American ace, undoubtedly would have been saved had he worn d chute as efficient as the modern types. Luke leaped from his blazing Flane at an altitude of 2,o0O feet in the hope of landing in the Mouse river.
 Since the war, more than 60 lives have been saved in the military air services in emergencies very similar to those encountered in fighting.
