Afford J. Williams navy aviator and speed record holder has gained re- venge for his branch of the service over its friendly enemy, the army.
 Back In 1925 Lieut.. James H Doolittle of the army affixed pon. toons to his land plane. entered the Schneider international seaplane race and flew away with first place in the record time of 232 miles an hour. Then. on May 25. 1927. he performed the unprecedented feat ot turning an ''outside" loop. and chalk. ed up another mark for the army. Tho honors are even now. Lieut. Williams has not only duplicated Doolittle's feat but created . stunt new to aerial acrobatics-an outside loop from an upside down position. In addition to shattering an army record. he used an army type land plane.
 At | height of 5000 feet, the navy pilots plane described . horizontal figure eight. 800 feet high. the first loop made on the Doolittle pattern, and the second starting after . half roll. made while flying upside down.
 In . normal loop the aviator puts the nose of the machine down slight ly to obtain maximum speed. then, pulling back on the control stick, rises slowly at first and then more rapidly as the top of the loop Is made. Just after the top is reached. he shuts of his motor and lets the machine fall through the last half of the loop which looks like the letter "E" in script.
 Tho "outside" loop begins and is completed with the airman's head on tho outside instead of on the inside as in the conventional loop. The maneuver begins and ends with the pilot flying upside down.
 In a normal loop the pilot feel he is glued to his seat. In the ''out- side" a force seems to pull him out of the cockpit.
 Everything seemed to rush to my head" Lieutenant Williams said. "and for moment was blinded.'
 The crises of both loops were reached when they were half through, he added. and there was a strong temptation to believe they had been completed. He admitted his flying senses deceived him. and he concluded he was through with the circle wlren in reality he had gone but halfway around.

The diff culty experienced by the pilot in maintaining his own position with reference to the controls. with the blood rushing to his head, was well known to the pilots at the naval air station at Anacostia, who witnessed Williams flight amid gasps of amazement.

RISING STOCKS
PUT BURDEN
ON FIRMS
BY, MERRYLE CTANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, May 14,-Record-
breaking security prices, which
are high in terms Of physical
assets. and established earning
power of corporations, impose new
burdens on companies which ha'
bitually sell stocks to employees.
The main objective of employe
ownership is to improve the mo-
rale and heighten the feeling of
cordiality between master and
worker, The whole purpose
obviously is defeated If a
company permits its stock to
be transferred to. employees at
inflated, artificial levels, which
are not reasonably certain to be
sustained over long period
of years. Corporate managers
may themselves be willing to
assume large business risks in
their stock holdings, but they
recognize that workingmen or
slender means should not be
invited to make speculative com
mitments.
In times Of less public op.
timism, when stocks were selling
at prices closer TO their book
values, the problem of progressive
management in this regard is
simpler.
Usually corporations attempt to
sell their own stock to employees
on more adj analogous terms than
the current open market quota
tons. In general, two systems are
followed. One method, which is
followed by the United States Steel
Corporation, Il to buy UP block
of it's own stock as advantageously
as possible over a period Of
months, and offer it to employees
on the partial payment plan at
the average cost price.
A variation of the plan of buy
ing stock for employees in the
open marke is the five-year plan
of the StanGard Oil Company New
Jersey, which, DESTROYS of protect
ing employees against any posi-
bility OF loss, contributes one.
third of the purchase price out OF
the corporate treasury.
Far as this new social move
ment. which was turned workers
into capitalists. has gone since
the war. it has thus far merely
SKINNED the surface. 1t has
reached the elect of the gainfully
employed. Over the coming dec.
AIDES, it should percolate down to
the great multitudes of enter
prising workers.

AMATEURS RISK
F0RTUNESON
MARKET
BY B. G. FORBES

Almost every patient whom !
zee talks stocks. ! have never
seen anything like it before in my
long experience. This observe.
tion comes from d well.known doc
j tor. NY barber has frequently
made similar comment. Bust
ness men one meets from other
cities throughouot the country
nearly ali tel the same story. An
astonishing number of persons of
al ranks are now keeniy inter.
ested IN stock speculation.
All this throws some light on
why the market has time and time
again advanced to new heights.
Market Base BrOadened
The tremendous broadening of
the stock market base. both in the
matter Of amount Of stock listed
and the number OF buyers and sell
ers. accounts In some measure, at
least, for the developments during
the markets unparalleled rise.
Here Is another consideration:
Al large percentage of those
now participa ting in the market
have never been through a panic
or even sustained bear market.
Since they began to dabble in
stocks, the general trend has been
upwards. Many small investors
and spectators have, therefore,
got ii into their heads that the
market can go only one way. They
have discovered a delightfully."- easy
and pleasant way to make money
and they wonder why they were
such fools as not to have learned
this intoxicating secret long ago.
The child whose fingers have
never been burned hasn't learned
10 drea the fire.
With the exception OF w. @.
Durant. not one Of those whose
names are banded about as being
the king-pins Of the bull leaders
Is a veteran Of many stock market
battles. Bernard N. Baruch's
name is scarcely heard. Jesse L.
Livermore IS not mentioned.
Old Signals Ignored
Developments which old-timers
interpret as danger signals are
gayly Ignored BY those now in the
speculative saddle.
Then. quite significant to old
fogies. the income yield on favorite
stocks Is now below the cost Of
money, so far have prices been
marked up.
There has been no qnickening
OF the industrial and business
pace commensurate with the
action Df the stock market.
How long the contrast between
conditions In the stock market
and outside the stock market viii
be continued. one has become
tired trying to guess.
