The earth comes up like thunder
when an aviator goes down from
an airplane in a parachute
This thrill of all thrills is more
and more becoming the common
experience of Army pilots, but II
remains the biggest thrill OF their
lives, the first time they "go over
the side and down"
A young enlisted flier who had
Just made his first Jump related
his experience to a group OF news
paper men recently at the Langly
Field aviation show.
"It wasn't so hard to jump" he
said, but there's no explaining the
awful, paicky feeling you have In
that short moment when your
chute isn't open and tehre's noth-

up by reasuring speeches OF orficers
before you turn loose the ship,

glorious feeling when that old seat
under you tightens and you can
look up and see that big billow
of white letting you d0Tn easy. 1t
doesn't take long for the pilot
chute to pull the big sail out OF the
Jagged through tree tops if there's
you she's open. Your serious wor-
ries are over then.
You may get scratched up when

Leaves Not Favored
By New Trial Board

In some rare cases policemen who
violate the regulations may be pen
allied by having their leave cur.

not contemplate adopting system
of docking" offending officers.
Inspector Louis J. Stoll, chairman
of the board said today.
The proposal that the trial board
"dock" cops for violating the regu.
lations has come from numerous
sources.
Major Edwin r. Hesse, Superin-
tendent Of Police. said the system
was in effect many years ago and
did not prove satisfactory since
the officers after having their leave
.curtailed would report sick. Only
by close cooperation with the board
Of police surgeons. the ch ef said
could the system be made effective.

chief that fines work hardship

New District Law Code
Urged to Simplify
= Procedure

Washington needs an up-to-the-
minute code of laws.
With this belief in mind, William
w. Bride, corporation counsel,
hopes that Congress at its forth.
coming session will approve a
single volume compilation of the
Districts statutes now being made
by Edwin A. Mooers and Robert
Boyd. The task is due 10 be fin.
ished by the first OF the year.
Under the plan, after Congress
goes on record as favoring the
Mooers.Boyd work, q commission
of lawyers would examine. the
volume to strike out all :rick and
obsolete measures found.
Compilation of a new code IL
intended as a labor wing device.
1t now is necessary to delve
through scores of books to find
some laws. Some of them are SO
old they're printed in Latin.

the advertisement professed to

that it is better to be bold and go
out and hunt your man than to

Something should be done about It,
she believes. and she inserted the
