the engine was of no assistance.
After trying for fifteen hundred
feet to bring the ship out of the spin,
I rolled over the right side of the
cockpit, and, since I had jumped
only about three hundred and fifty
feet above the ground, I pulled the
rip cord as soon as the stabilizer had
passed.
The chute opened quickly, but
while it was functioning had fallen
fasten than the spinning ship. On
its next revolution the plane was
headed directly toward the chute.
How close it had passed will never
be known, for the risers leading up
from my harness were twisted and
swung me around as the ship passed.
However, less than twenty-five feet
interviewed between the wing and
my parachute.
I watched the plane crash in a
grain field and turned my attention
to landing. A strong wind was drift
ing me toward a row of high ten
sion poles and it was necessary to
partially collapse the chute in order
to hasten the descent and land be-
fore striking the wires.
landed rather solidly in a potato
patch and was dragged several feet
and over a road before several men
arrived and collapsed the chute.
In addition to the strong wind and
rough air. collapsing or cutting
the chute so close to the ground had
caused a very rapid descent, and
my shoulder had been dislocated in
landing.
In July went on two weeks active
duty at Richards Field, Mo-, where
I instructed on Jennies and D.H.-4's.
In August I few a CurtiSS Oriole to
Nevada, Mo, to carry passengers
during the Missouri National Guard
encampment.
While at Nevada I received a
proposition to fly in a circus in Colo
RADIO, and as there was no immedi-
ate prospect of starting work on the
mail route, I accepted and when the
encampment ended flew the Oriole
back to st. Louis and took a train
west.
On arriving at the field, a few
miles east of Denver, 1 discovered
the plane I was to fly to be the
same Lincoln Standard that Lynch
and I had flown to Montana three
years before.
We did a little transforming along
the eastern slope of the Rockies pre-
liminary to the start Of our flying
circus.
We had contracted to exhibit be-
fore a number of fairs in Colorado
and there was nothing barred in
the exhibitions.
We put on everything the commit
tee was willing to pay for. At the
smaller places we used only one
plane, but at the more important
exhibitions two we're required.
We flew to the town where a fair
was taking place about one day be-
fore We we're to exhibit. In that
way everything was in readiness for
the circus and the next morning
there was no delay in our perform
ance.
We started with wing-walking.
The performer would climb out of
the cockpit and walk along the en-
tering edge of the wing to the outer
bay strut. where he climbed up onto
the top wing, and stood on his head
as we passed the grandStand.
After finishing his stunts on the
wing he would go to the landing gear
and from there to the center Sec
ton, where he sat while the plane
Topped and did Jenny Immelmans.
From the center section he went
to the tail and then, unless 1t was
an unusual occasion, the wing-walk-
ing exhibition was over.

d. c. Employees Get
$4,000 Pay Raise
In TOdaY's Envelopes

The $500 District Government
employees under the classified civil
service today We're counting extra
change in their pay envelopes
which. in most cases amounted to a
little less than $40 each, which
means an increase OF about $50 per
month each.
An additional $4,000 was added
today to the semi-monthly payday,
which means $50. 900 d month and
$4,000 additional for the year. OF
this sum about $4,000 is from the
WEIGH Act and $171 400 is from q
special fund appropriated by Con.
gress to raise the lowest paid en-
ployes up to a parity with the pay
of Federal employees.
Next year Congress plans another
increase Of the lower paid District
employees. but the sum will NOT
exceed 500 900, it is estimated.
The school teachers, police and
fire departments, each having a
large personnel have their increases
cared for. by other legislation.

GOING TO THE DANCE

Two orchestras held forth at A dance in this city last night-which appears 10 be the modern way of keeping step with the pep of the times. Dancers no longer care to wait patiently between terpsichorean trips while the hard working musi- clans take a reasonably long rest {: the boys and girls want to keep go- ing nearly all the time. And how they dance!
 The dance floor is a place where innovations are never froWned upon. More different varieties of doing the light fantastic arc being expos ed in this town than ever before. The hop. skip and jump variety of dancing seems to be getting popu- lar. Most of these fancy steps seem 10 have no names, and any brigh young man and his swcetio has the privilege of inyenting as many new tricks as ingenuity will permit.

 "Beloin held down the position of right guard consistently all season and evoked considerable comment by the determination and ability he displayed.

ROLLER HOCKEY

The additional excitement in town is at least partly due to the roller hockey team which, is representing the city in the American roller hockey league. Playing hockey in the regulation manner is a great sport-but it requires ice. Playing hockey on roller skates has the ad- vantage of not requiring ice. and is chock full of excitement and thrills.
 The local team lost four straight games before it landed victory last night. Said victory undoubted- ly was due to the acquisition of one Kid" Williams, who immediately became the star of the team. hold ing the boys together in defense and leading them in attack. The kid quickly became a sort of Babe Ruth of the local hockey team.
 Prom all of which it can be noted that local sport continues to sprout.

KEEPING PREMISES SAFE

It cost a property owner S5,o0o because d verandah railing was de- fective, permitting child to crawl through the opening, fall to the ground, and die from injuries.
 Building Inspector Rutherford. asked to comment upon the incl dent, rightly declared it would be impossible for officials to inspect premises all over the city with a view toward preventing such occur rences.
 1Ne people living in rented quar- ters will be the first to notice such defects. A property owner having such defects called to his attention, will be doubly negligent if he fails to make repairs immediately. At any rate he is liable.
 But while there may he q slight delay before repairs are made it is folly to trust to luck. Any renter has the right 10 make temporary re- pairs on his own hook as a protec- tion against accident.
 In New England, where upper floor tenements are more common than in most sections of the coun- try, the number of accidents incl dent to children falling fEom them is tragically regrettable. Every pos sible effort must be made to avoid them. External watchfulness, by parents, property owners and Of ficials, is the price of safety.
