DROPS 10000 FEET

Stepping off into space from the
wings Of an airplane at an altitude
of 5000 feet to demonstrate the
safety of parachute jumping was the
recent thrilling experience of Walter
/, Schi1m, son of Mrs. Herman Heide-
mann Of White Bluffs and an aviation
student at Portland. As reward for
this feat, Walter was promised an
airplane trip to San Francisco and
but we will let Walter tell about the
experience himself. We ar- quoting
from his letter to his mother:
"Well, Ma, I've got something to
tell you. I've made my first para
chute Jump from an airplane. Tex
Rankin offered me free trip from
Portland to San Francisco and frora
there up to Seattle and then back to
Portland. He did that to demonstrate
that parachute jumping has no bad
effects on a person. So l dressed in
an all leather flying suit, put on my
helmet and goggles and then l strap
ped on my parachute and climbed into
the airplane.
There were about 5000 people
down at the flying field when he an
pounced what we were going to do.
Then we started out. After we got up
10000 feet I got ready and jumped
and then that was all until I hit the
ground. We are going to leave Port-
land the noon of March 16 and stay
ever in San Francisco all day Satur
day and Saturday night, leave San
Francisco Sunday afternoon, 60
straight through to Seattle and stay
in Seattle all day Monday and return
to Portland Tuesday noon.
ooh, yes, I forgot to tell you how
lcng it took me to reach the ground
after I jumped. 1t took me exactly
twenty-seven and half minutes be-
fore I touched ground. That sure was
fun"
Walter is taking the electrical
motor course and will not take up
the regular flying training until he
finishes that course.

new TRAIN SCHEDULE
NOW IN OPERATION

The new schedule on this branch
Of the Milwaukee went into affect
Monday. Under the new arrangement
the train leaves Beverly at $40 p. m.
arrives at White Bluffs at 500 D. m.
and Hanford at 8:45. On the return
trip to the main line it leaves Hanford
at o:l5 pm. White Bluffs at 9:40 p.
m, and arrives at Beverly at HISS
o. m. The service at present is on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but
is expected to 60 to daily, except
Sunday, service as soon as the fruit
begins to move.
The. new schedule will be of dis
tinct advantage to fruit and cream
shipments. as it permits them to &c
out in the evening, have the cooler
night air in which to travel and reach
the Seattle market several hours earli-
er and in much better condition than
under the old schedule. Except that
they will arrive here few hours later
passengers for this valley arriving
from either the east or west will have
the same connections as heretofore
at Beverly, and outgoing passengers
will have the advantage of being able
to leave in the evening and, through
connections with night trains either
wav at Beverly, will be able to reaca
Seattle or Spokane the next morning
instead ef wasting a day on the trip,
which they had to do under the oil (!
schedule.
One of the Disadvantages of the
change will probably mean that the
train crew will move from Hanford
to Beverly. That is to be regretted
as 1t will mean the loss of four fami!-
les frcsn the valley. Another disad-
vantage is that uneter tht new sched-
ule the train from Beverly arrives too
late for the mail to be distributed
that evening. This, however, is not
such a handicap as it may seem, as
only about one fourth of the mail for
White Bluffs comes by train and only
a few in town take advantage of the
distribution in the evening. These ap-
parent drawbacks are largely offset
by the better service for the outgoing
mail. Under the old arrangement, mail
deposited in the postoffice after IL
o'clock, nocn had to stay in the
office until the following morning or
noon. Under the new schedule, mail
deposited in the office between noon
and 4:45 p. m. will go out the same
evening and be in Seattle or Spokane
the next morning. So that in summing
the whole thing up, the benefits, es-
pecially to the shipper, would appear
to greatly offset the disadvantages.

Health First
 in Baby Care
Character Depends Upon
 Youngsters Well-Being.

Back Of character training is hab- It training, and back of habit train ing is health. The whole thing be- gins with the baby.
 The physical habits and mental development of baby are so closely reaIted at the beginning of his in- teresting career that if is necessary to lay more emphasis upon his be- havior.
 Instinct governs him entirely he knows when he is hungry, or sleepy or uncomfortable. from the be ginning. In q few short weeks he knows that by crying he will get the things that will make him com- fortable.
 It is bad business, however, to al- low a baby to get to the stage where he has to cry for things before he gets them. If he is comfortable he will not cry. His life should be run on schedule and his wants antici- pated. Not for one day, but for all days. Nothing should interfere with his regular routine of eating, sleep ing, bathing. airing or other needs. But it is bad business to allow him to get into the habit of crying for things he does not need.
 We must get over thinking of him as "only the baby" Really he is the most important member of the fam lily and should be treated as such. The highest percentage of deaths among babies occur in the first year. Intelligent care has reduced the fig ures in the last few years. However, constant vigilance is necessary. A baby cannot be systematically bathed, fed, aired and all the rest of his regimen carefully attended to one day, and be carelessly neglected the next. He is just as suceptlble 10 cold or baccli from an unclean bot 1 tie one day as he is another. He nev- CT should be left to an untrained 1 indifferent or too young nurse. Con- stancy and consistency are the watcnwords for his safety.
 Clothes for a new baby should be simple, soft, plain and easily washed No embroidery is necessary. Enough changes of clothing should be pro- vided, if possible, to keep him lm- maculately clean at all times. Nc ruffles or gathers or things difficult to iron-indeed ironing, except fot appearance is not absolutely essen. tial to a baby's laundry. But all clothes should be washed thoroughly and above all. dried thoroughly be- 1 fore using.
 If a baby is artificially fed, hi' bottles must be washed out daily with, bottle brush. in warm suds rinsed thoroughly. and then boiled for half an hour. Nipples must bt boiled too. This destroys germs tha' breed in the milky film left inside It may look clean and yet be dan gerous. Only boiling can make ! pure.
 If possible. the mother shoulc nurse the child. One thing science has not been able to do is make food quite as perfect for young ba' bies as mothers milk.

Pointers For
 the Parents
Little Hints on Caring for
 Children.

Tn helping your child to find his own niche in this world make sure that he has not been dedicated as in some instances quite openly, and in others unconsciously, to carrying out unified ambitions of parent.
 The mother who is vaguely 'mu- sical' feels that she must have a daughter who will shine on the con- cert stage. How much wiser such a mother would be. says Children. the Magazine for Parents" if she discovered, as early as possible. the trend and extent of her child's real capa cities and directed her training toward their development. instead of clutching at an unattainable ideal to satisfy her own vanity.
 Home life can be made an eXpe- rience in real democracy for the child. The school in recent years has come to realize that it's auto cratic atmosphere, where the teach- CT was the boss and the pupils did as they were ordered, was poor preparation for democracy. It is now training the pupils to partici- pate in the running of the school by turning over 10 them the responsi- bility for it's efficient management in all matters suited to their age and ability. Every home which follows that example wip profit likewise.
 If a child burns himself and the skin is only reddened. an application of vaseline or bland oil may be all that is necessary. But if the burn is severe and the skin is blistered oI charred. the application of oil should be avoided. but the spongine on of solution of baking soda and water may aid considerably.

Many Factors
 Cause Insanity
Almost Every Case Is Individual One.
By Dr. Morris Fishbein Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy. geia. the Health Magazine

More and more medical scientists are adopting the view that the caus- es of mental diseases are not in most instances single causes. such as seem to be proved in relation 10 infectious disease, but rather represent the re- suits of many factors working simul- taneously npon the humaR'body.
 These factors include the hered- itary structure of the individual con- cerned. disease, the functions of the various glands of internal secretion, the results of alcohol either in the patient or his parents, the results of other infections, and finally mental stimuli coming from the environ ment.
 Individual Study
 This signifies. of course, that the person with mental disturbance can- not be placed in a cast iron cage for diagnosis, but that every indi- vidual must be studied as an indi- tion of this problem.
 Recently H. H. Corson studied the factors responsible for the develop ment of mental disturbance in 25 college students.
 The person who enters college is confronted with maze of intellec- tual problems and he is at an ags when his emotional adjustments are difficult. He has to free himself at that time from close family attach ments.
 The nature of his studies brings up many religious questions and his age is associated with an increas- ing amount of attention to prob. lems of sex.
 In many large institutions stud ents are handled en masse and ca. reers are planned without special reference to the capabilities or adaptabilitcs of the men concerned. The invariable result of this mass grinding in the hopper of education is the emotional breakdown of . considerable number of young men and young women. Much of this could be prevented if students were encouraged to make honest esti- mates of their own capabilities and be urged to adjust themselves to the 1 facts

BY JEAN PATOU For NEA Service

Paris, June 27-I always am very strict about sports dresses and greatly disapprove the dressy type of sports dress. but I have at last met a person who, on this subject. is even more decided than l am.
 She is Miss Helen Wills. In my opinion there is nothing more ridic- ulous than a tennis dress with a lot of unnecessary trimmings, and Miss Wills cordially agrees with me. Among all my clients she has the reputation of being one of the most agreeable among the saleswomen.
 She listens to any advice which is given to her concerning her other dresses. but where tennis clothes are concerned she is the most stubborn young person I have ever seen.
 Refused New Model
 Miss Wills is charminely stubborn. One of my modelers wanted 10 make a new design of tennis dress for her this summer. but she flatly turned down the suggestion. stating that the model which I had created for her two years ago was perfect from the point of view of the player and that she did not want to change.
 This in a way was a great com- pliment, but a couturier is. of course, always tempted to change a style. Miss Wills knows tennis and her own mind and that is why she wears a tWo-year-old model. She only consented to allow me to make the dress in silk instead of cotton. and to add her monogram.
 l have come to the conclusion that silk is just as serviceable as cotton for sport dresses, in view of the great progress that has been made in the manufacture of silk, making il washable.
 The sporting characteristics of Miss Wills are evident in her choice of street dresses. She has marked preference for tailored clothes. She likes the fashionable colors-yellow red and light bluc-because she pre- fers brighter things. She always chooses afternoon and evening dresses in which she is completely at ease physically, and this time she chose silk chiffon in misty shades
 One of the most youthful models Miss Wills chose is one for home wear-a yellow in one of the new sheer woollens, with lingerie trim ming. It has the yoke and sleeve. cut in one and the yoke buttoned III to the white scalloped collar. -Plcatcd FrOck
 The body of the frock is stitched down knife pleats which flare be now slanting skirt yoke to a full pleated skirt. Two pockets. slantet like the yoke line have scallopet edges. The belt of suede follows thu natural Waistline and an inserted banding of the skirt points upward in front 10 form loop through which the belt runs.
 With this she wears g plain pic; straw hat, with a yellow banding.
 One of her new tennis frocks. o white silk serge. has shirt colla and a full pleated skirt. It is sleeve less. Topping it is a tailored whit' flannel jacket. with no decoration save a patriotic insignia that ha two tiny tennis racquets crossed under it.
