at which the parachute ordinarily hits the
water. HobSon meantime was making
painstaking study Of patent rights Of all such
devices. ~
parachute experts, Tibbals learned these vital
points about a parachute drop: first, usually,
when q flyer hits the water, he Is going feet
first; second, even under the most adverse
conditions he rarely becomes submerged more
than few feet; third, at the moment he
strikes the waters surface his velocity Is
about 40 feet per second-a speed that Is
about the same as II he were to jump into
the water from height Of 20 feet
s Surprising, to say the least, was the discovery
that hyer rarely goes more than few feet
under the surface Of the water. What. then.
caused so many deaths by drowning and suffo-
cation? The answer, IS voiced by many ia
NOUS navy flyers, was explainable. When an
aviator crashes into the water he is liable at
any moment to have one Of two dangerous
things happen to him-either gust OF wind
may blow his chute upon him. thereby bury
ing him beneath the waves, or the plane it
self may bear him down.
Furthermore, Tibbals found, there have been
many cases where the wind has been so strong
that 1t has swept chute and aviator far from
shore, 50 that his chance Of gaining immediate
help was extremely remote.
What obviously was needed then, in addition
to light, simply constructed oxygen device TO
protect the nose and throat, was buoyancy
enough to keep man afioat for at least an
hour.
Bearing this vital fact In mind, Tibbals re-
viewed the knowledge he had picked up over
many years experience concerning what hap
pens physiologically to . man suddenly sub
merged in water. First Of all, he reasoned,
the air in q mans body, just before he goes
under, Is ct normal or atmospheric pressure.
The farther down he goes, however, the greater
the pressure conditions Meantime, the body
pressure continues to be the same rs II was
ON the surface. unless some device can be
found that win equalise it to that Of the wa
ter.
At this iuncture Tibbals realized that he
had nian-sised Job on his hands. Esass

were plenty Of divers helmets that would ac-
complish the desired result, but they were so
heavy that to attempt to make use Of them
for an aviator was out Of the question. How
ever, there was one. ray Of hope: namely, the
fact that only In very rare cases is q flyers
body forced under more than q few feet OF
water.
THIS meant that nyer does not have any

simplest kind of pressure-reducing apparatus.

/. Meanwhile. OF course, Tibbals was confer

the co-inventors were now convinced that they
were reasoning: upon sound, practical prin-
ciples. MOREOVER, they; knew that any really

u. S. Bets Four Billion
Dollars Every Year

New York.-More than four billion
dollars changes hands through com
mercialized gambling in the United
States each year, according to a sur
vey made by Howard Mcclellan.
The sums handled by gamblers in
either New York or Chicago far ex-
coed those won and lost in the worlds
most famous center of legalized gam
bling, Monte Carlo, Mcclellan asserts
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New Or
leans, Kansas City, st. Louis, Cleve-
land, Detroit, and Washington are
close rivals of Monte Carlo in the
volume of their gambling activities,
he asserts.
McLellan's itemized tabulation Of
the nations gambling bill is as fol-
lows:
Baseball pools, S5OO,O0O,O0O; policy
games lotteries based on daily totals
Of bank clearings or other daily fig
ures), 100000; race track betting,
1.OOOOOO,OOO; handbook betting on
races, $S0O00O,0O0; cards, dice and
similar games of chance, $1,000.000,-
600: bucketshops, S500OO0,0OO.
The figures, arrived at through an
examination of courtroom testimony in
local gambling investigations, a study
of income tax figures, police court
records, books of the leading race
tracks, and other authoritative sources
represent an underestimate, since they
exclude many minor gambling activi-
ties, Mcclellan states.

INVENTS OXYGEN
VEST FOR PILOTS
Will Protect Aviators in Water
Accidents.

Washington.-A new oxygen-breath-
Ing device has just been perfected
here, intended to prevent the drown
ing of aviators trapped by seaplanes
that crash in the water, or caught un-
der their parachutes after jump
that brings them down into a river or
the sea. It is the joint work Of Chief
Gunner G. L. Tibbals, well known for
his Inventions of submarine safety
devices. and Frank 81. Hobson of the
naval bureau of construction and re-
pairs. AS yet 1t has received no Off
cal name. but is Professionally called
the seaplane rescue safety vest.
Mr.. Tibbals describes the new con-
trivance as "a sort of combined vest
and belt, equipped with two long
pieces Of rubber hose through one of
which the wearer inhales and through
the other exhales; nose clamp to
prevent the sudden rush of water from
suffocating him; tiny canister con-
tanning soda lime, which serves to
purify the breath while eliminating
carbon dioxide, and a bottle contain
ing sufficient oxygen to keep man
afloat at least half an hour after he
has jumped into the water from his
chute. However, If it so happens
that the flyer has not had chance to
use his parachute and therefore hits
the water while in the plane, he can
readily gain access to larger bottle
always carried as an emergency
measure in the ship. This will sup
ply human being for about an hour
and half"

Stole 100000 Chickens;
Now Protects Farmers

New York.-Robert F. Stephens,
who says he stole 100000 chickens in
eastern Nebraska and western Iowa
during a period of eighteen months,
now hopes to protect farmers from
night providers through the publica-
ton of his memoirs.
Stephens tells in Farm and Fire
side, how he headed gang operating
with swift automobile trucks, robbed
between 10000 and $4,000 hen roosts
and was finally caught and sentenced
to the Nebraska state reformatory.
He has now finished his sentence and
has already exposed several fake pro-
lection agencies, saving farmers near
ly 100000 year. He plans to expose
the methods of small farm robberies
in manner which he says will re-
duce annual losses through theft, esti-
mated at S15000.000. by half.

Woman Spends Night
in CAPITAL Monument

Washington.-Mrs 8. e. Longaell,
forty, of Middleburgh, VT. is the first
among nearly 100000 visitors to the
Washington monument to spend the
night in it.
It was an oversight on the part of
the guards that permitted her to he
locked in the great obelisk for the
night. Authorities believe she pur-
posely secreted herself in the shaft
when the door was closed at night.
The story did not leak out until later.
Mrs. Longaell went to the monument
fortified by lunch and thermos
bottle full of tea. Authorities think
she wanted to see the moonlight and
the sun rise from the top Of the monu-
ment.
Tie guards promise this stunt will
never be repeated. Hereafter they will
move any furniture behind which a
person might hide. 1t has been sort
of unwritten law that no visitor should
be permitted In the monument after
the closing hour, primarily for the pro-
lection of visitors.

KEEP CLOSE GUARD
ON BROKERS' LOANS
U. S. Officials Say There's
No Chance of Leak.

Neutrality-suspicious. precautions to
assure secrecy prior to publication of
the weekly brokers' loans figures, re-
garded widely as the single most i'm
portant barometer of stock market ac-
tivity, are taken by the federal re-
serve system.
Reports circulated recently in Wall
Street that "'leak" existed by which
these figures are obtained prematurely
by some brokers are discounted by re-
serve system officials who made public
their method of handling the loan re-
port, issued at 4 p. m. each Thursday.
Compiled in the New York federal
reserve bank each week on the basis
of mailed reports from reporting men,
Der banks in New York city, the de-
tailed report showing the total Of
loans to stock market operators for
the week are telephoned here each
Thursday at 3:15 after close of the
stock exchange.
Locked In Room.
The report is received at the re-
serve boards Offices here by one man
who is locked in a room with mes
senger shortly before that time. With
out leaving the locked room, the man
monographs the reports and places
them in sealed envelope addressed
to Gov. Roy A. Young Of the federal
reserve board.
When prepared, the reports are en-
trusted to the messenger, who rushes
them direct to Governor Young's Of
flee. On the dot of four o'clock the
envelopes are unsealed and the reports
placed on the press table in the gov
ernor's spacious Office on the second
floor Of the treasury departments
huge gray stone building.
In the opinion of reserve board off,
Gals, this procedure eliminates COM
pletely any possibility of leak in the
figures from Washington. The reserve
board has been advised by the New
York reserve bank that extremely
careful precautions are taken there to
make sure the figures are not released
in advance.
Indicator Of Trading. "
Because of fluctuations in the stock
market in recent months interest in
the weekly report by the reserve board
on the extent Of borrowings by brokers
in New York has been intense. In the
past six months the weekly brokers'
loans figure has constantly risen until
now nearly S7,OO0,0eo,o00 is considered
as Indicator of the volume of trading
on the New York exchange.
Responding to questions raised in
Wall Street about the accuracy of the
reserve boards brokers' loan figures,
officials explained that the report does
not represent the total borrowings by
brokers inasmuch as only loans made
through member banks are reported
to the reserve system. In recent years
an increasingly large percentage of
brokers' loans have been made direct
to the mart by private banks, corpor-
ations and foreign agencies.
Lendings by these private agencies
aggregated $1,472,OOO,OO0 on septem
her 80 and such direct lendings to
the stock exchange have increased
$4OO,OOOOOO in this year alone. This
element of loans unreported through
official channels makes prediction of
what the loan report will show decfd-
edly uncertain, officials emphasized.
