 Stefan arrived in New Britain yes terday morning for q final appeal to his wife to give him some money. His petition was rejected. =.
 With tears streaming down his cheeks the old man told his story at police station, and even as harden cd as police officers are supposed to be all were affected. He did not lack for sympathy when led away to be locked up for the might.
 According to his story he went 10 Scranton and became d coal miner when he landed in the United States and after he had saved q lit tie money sent for his wife and children and by thrift and frugality acquired q home. To help along in meeting expenses he admitted q man 10 the house as q boarder,
 His wife soon showed q decided preference for the boardcr
 Finally he sold his property for Sl0,000 and went to Waterbury 10 see about purchasing q farm there. While he was away his wife sold his household furnishings for what she could get and drawing the money out of the bank disappeared with the boarder, he said.
 Last summer he located her in New Britain, and coming here made an appeal for $1. 900 of the $l0.000 that he had received for his Scran- ton property, only to be laughed at. Since then he had been wandering about the country taking odd jobs and getting as far west as Chicago.

 In tn" French theory the indus trial and economic resources of a nation must be taken into consi1- eration! that is. T nation weak in resources has right to military arms to compensate that weakness. France will point out that thcor- ctcally all nations arc equal in their membership to the League of Nations but actually, that there is difference because some nations have permanent seats on the coun- cil. Likewise, all nations are theor- cucally entitled to the same liberty Of defense but such parity of arms would be impossible unless an in tcrnational justice is created and ap- piled by force of an efficient arm.
 In tn" absence of such interna- tiOnal justice, each state is obliged 10 prepare it's own defenses, the French argue.
 But above all. France wants 10 avoid naval building race and the French delegates, while standing firm on the five principles of their program, will adopt a conciliatory attitude.

 2-Evcry nation has an undcni- able right to equal protection of her lines of supplies.
 3-Groat powers with vast fleets of commercial liners easily armed in case of necessity, have less real need of armamonts than smaller nations.

binary physical requirements. During the
first two weeks the candidate is taught how
to take care of a parachute pack; how to pack
and fold his canopy; how to make up his shroud
lines and tend to ordinary repairs. His last bit
of study is on the physical laws that govern
parachuting.
Usually the students first jump is lift-off,
two men making the jump at the same time.
Having a pair seems to buck them up Each
fellow is thus put on his mettle.
Each takes his place on opposite wings At
1000 feet the pilot levels off and gives the sig
nal to pull the ripcords. The chutes trail out,
initiate and lift the pair into space. From this
altitude the descent takes from one and one
half to two minutes.
Next comes a tree fall The pupil sits on
the extreme end of the wing. When he gets
the signal he falls forward into the air His
body revolves in the direction of flight. at the
completion of the first turn he is supposed to
pull the ring The old scheme of counting three
has been abandoned.
Some men lack a sense of timing One fellow
made his first Jump from 1000 feet. He didn't
pull his ring until he was only 800 feet above
the ground. His instructors thought he was
just scared and got him to go up again the
same day. Three times he fell to the 30O-foot
level before he opened his parachute. The men
on the field almost had heart failure watching
him. He was speedily boosted out of the para
chute section after that.

The utmost care and skill are required
in packing a parachute, for the life of
the jumper is at stake.
I was surprised to see how green and how near
the grass on the field looked at that moment
But didn't forget what was going to hap

In the United States Navy determined
to break the worlds record for a free fall.
Their names were Whitby, Morgan and Craw-
ford.
On April 4, 1928, these three fellows went
up from the Navy air base at Pensacola, Fla,
one after the other. Crawford fell 1880 feet
before he pulled his ring. Morgan, an hour
later, boosted the figure to 800 feet. Whitby,
the last, jumped out at $500 feet and had the
nerve to hold his ring until he had sailed
down 4 400 feet!
That was a new worlds record all right.

most remarkable reScues in modern

Mcdonald paid out the rope to
Williams, who tied it about his

he could grab the tail skid.

Bose went up to 5000 feet and dropped 500
feet before he opened his chute, big stunt In
those days. He said that things began to turn
black Just before he pulled his ripcord. But he
didn't lose his nerve. Next time he went down
