Many Dangers.
Almost every field has Its dangers
for parachute jumpers. At santa
Monica, airport Of Los Angeles, high
tension wires are all about
At Roosevelt and other Long Island
fields the parachute jumper runs the
risks Of being carried out to sea, Of
landing on one Of, the very busy Long
Island highways ana being struck by a
motor car or Of coming down on rail-
way tracks and being struck by a train.
Nearly all fields are closely encircled
by houses, trees and fences, which are
likely to be deadly in high winds.
Holes In the air" are disconcerting
I don't know what they are. but they
seem to be vacuums. Suddenly 1t is
as If the chute had no air to fill 1t,
and you, chute and all, drop like light
