Washington, Dec. l4 LP-As has been the case ever since the present dispute between Bolivia and Para quay reached the danger stage, late developments can be taken to in- dicate either a peaceful settlement Of the difficulty or continuation of the crisis.
 On the whole. however. those working for conciliation have been heartened by the trend of affairs. es- pecialiy by the news that Argentina had no objection to efforts by the Pan-A American conference on con- Ciliation and arbitration. now meet ing here. to bring about solution of the trouble.
 Not Represented
 Argentina is the only one of the American republics not represented at the convention. A Bolivian Para guayan commission is meeting in Buenos Aires to discuss boundary claims. These facts have caused the conference here to proceed careful ly. it being felt that Argentina might think she had priority in mediation efforts. When Argentina informed the conference that she waived whatever priority she might have. work began in earnest. A special international committee intended to solve the row began protracted de- Alterations that are still continuing

CHAPTER XIII

When the wreck was inspected
a few days later it was discovered
that a mechanic had removed the
11O-gallon gasoline tank to repair
a leak and had replaced it with an
85-gallon tank without notifying
anyone of the change. Conse-
uuently instead of being able to
return to our field at Peoria, ILL.,,
and clear visibility, I ran out of
fuel still over the fog bank.
The circumstances surrounding
my fourth emergency parachute
Jump were almost similar to those
of the third. l took off from the
Iambert-St. Louis field at 4:20 p.
m, made a five-minute stop at
Springfield, ILL.,, an hour later to
take on mail, and then headed for
Peoria.
Weather reports telephoned to
st. Louis earlier in the afternoon
gave flying conditions as entirely
passable. About twenty-five miles
north of Springfield darkness was
encountered, the ceiling had lower
ed to around 400 feet and light
snow was falling. At South Pekin
the forward visibility of ground
lights from $50 foot altitude was
less than half a mile, and over Pc
kin the town lights were indistinct
from 200 feet above.
After passing Pekin the plane
was flown at an altimeter reading
of 600 feet for about five minutes,
when the lightness of the haze be-
low indicated that it was over Pc
oria. Twice I could see lights on
the ground and I descended to less
than 200 feet before they disap
peared from view. l tried to bank
around one group of lights, but was
unable to turn quickly enough to
keep in sight.
After circling in the vicinity OF
Peoria for thirty minutes | decided
TO try and find better weather con-
ditions by flying northeast toward
Chicago. l had feried ship from
Chicago to St. Louis in the early
afternoon, at which time the cell

else along the route.

hour and ten minutes flying re-

that around st. Louis.

For the next half hour the flight
northeast was at about 1000 feet
altitude and then at 600 feet.
There were now numerous breaks
in the clouds and occasionally
ground lights could be seen from
over 500 feet.
After passing over the light of
small town a fairly clear space in
the clouds was encountered. l
pulled up to about 600 feet, re-
leased the parachute flare, whipped
the ship around to get into the
wind and under the flare which lit
at once. Instead of floating down
slowly; however, it dropped like a
rock. l could see the ground for
only an instant and then there was
total darkness. Meantime the
ship was in a steep bank, and being
blinded by the intense light had
trouble righting it.
An effort to find the ground with
the wing lights was in vain, as
their glare was worse than useless
in the haze.
When about ten minutes of gas
remained in the pressure tank and
still not the faintest outline of any
object on the ground could be seen
1 decided to leave the ship rather
than attempt to land blindly.
I turned back southwest toward
less populated country and started
climbing in an attempt to get over
the clouds before jumping. The
main tank went dry at 1850 p. m.
and the reserve twenty minutes
later. The altimeter then register
ed approximately $4,000 feet, yet
the top of the clouds was apparent
ly several thousand feet higher.
Rolling the stabilizer back, l
cut out the switches, pulled the ship
up into a stall and was about to go
over the right side of the cockpit
when the right wing began to drop:
In this position the plane would
gather speed and spiral to the
right, possibly striking the para
chute after its firs' turn. l re-
turnded to the controls, righted
the plane and the dove over IN :
left side of the CO ckpit while the
air speed registered about seventy
miles per hour and the altimeter
Il 900 feet. The rip cord was
pulled Immediately after clearing
the stabilizer. The Irving chute
functioned perfectly
1 left the ship head first and
was falling in this position when
the risers whipped me around into
an upright position and the chute
opened. The last I saw of the OH
was as it disappeared into TIE
clouds just after the caute opened.

the first minute or so the para
chute descended smoothly and then

Agricultural Notes
Combine Harvesting
Under Investigation

Under investigation
Staff men of the Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station are cooperating
with R. H. Black and E. G. Boer-
ner, grain marketing specialists OF
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics, in a study and investiga-
ton of methods that will serve to
keep down the moisture content OF
grain cut and threshed by combine
harveSters.
From investigational work car
ried on last year in North Dakota,
the grain marketing specialists
found that combines reduce the ex-
pense of harvesting and threshing.
However, this gain may be more
than lost if care is not taken to
handle the threshed grain proper
ly. Great damage may result by
Harvesting before the wheat is
ripe.
Cutting wheat that contains ex-
cess moisture.
Cutting wheat that contains
green weeds.
Storing damp wheat in bins.
Storing wheat that contains
green weed seeds.
The Investigators found that
harvesting with a combine should
be delayed until the wheat is ma
ture and dry. Wheat absorbs mois-
ture at night and is seldom dry
enough to harvest before II a. m:
or noon. Harvesting should, OF
course, be delayed after rain un-
til the grain is dry. Wheat that
contains more than IA per cent
moisture is not considered as dry
They also found that immature,
damp, or weedy wheat cannot be
stored with safety. Weed seeds in
even fairly dry threshed whea;
may cause spoilage in storage
Clean grain which contains only
a slight excess of moisture can be
kept from losing condition in stor'
age by the use of properly con
structei ventilators open to the
outside air and placed close togeth'
err in a bin, but spoilage may en-,
sue if the grain is immature OF
damp or if it contains green weed
seeds.

Dog Owners Can Do
Much To Stop Rabies

Rabies, or hydrophobia as it is
better known to many persons, is
becoming more common, says DR..
C. P. Fitch, chief Of the division OF
veterinary medicine of the Unlver-
sity of Minnesota. While it has
been scourge in some states,
Minnesota has been free Of it near
ly five years, until December 81,
1927, when it's presence was sus-
pected in the vicinity of Two
Harbors on Lake Superior, and
the head of rabid cow was sent
to University Farm for examima-
ton by veterinarians. Positive evil
dence of rabies was found in this
animal by the laboratory. Since
then several other specimens show
ing positive evidence of rabies
have been received at the univer-
sity station from Two Harbors
and Duluth.
The presence of rabies in cattle
in the country adjacent to Tay-
Tors Falls in Chicago county has
now been established. This out
break is attributed to the spread
Of the disease by rabd dogs COM
irg from Wis :onsin, who're rabies
have been prevalent, snd not to
the cases in northern Minnesota.
The Livestock Sanitary Board is
alert to the situation and is hope
full of enforcing regulations that
VIII stop the further spread.
'It is absolutely necessary in
Places where rabies exist that own
ers keep their dog confined and
effectually muzzled," says DR..
Fitch. eff this is done the disease
can be controlled. If the symp-
toms of the disease, communicated
by bite of rabid animal or by
infected saliva to scratches or 9TH
err wounds, have once developed,
the animal or person afflicted is be
yond help. The Pasteur treatment
taken soon after bite or infection
is an efficient preventive. When
the health of humans is involved,
heads of suspected animals should
be sent to the State Board of
Health, Minneapolis. In the case of
animal health, the heads should be
forwarded to the veterinary divis-
;on at University Farm, st Paul."
