kidneys. When they are affected,
good health, even life itself. is in
danger. Foley Pills. diuretic, re-

PARACHUTE SAVES
PILOT IN VIRGINIA
BerIiner Plane Crashes With
in Ten Feet of Where ]. H.
TiIden Comes Down.

J. H. Tilden, pilot of the Berliner
Aircraft Corporation of Alexandria, Va,
narrowly escaped fatal injuries yester-
day when he leaped in his parachute
from a disabled plane less than 200
rect from the ground. He fell a few
moments before the plane crashed to
earth scarcely 10 feet away. The plane
iell across the partly opened parachute.
The accident occurred on the Rich
burn farm. three miles south Of Alex
andria.
Although he landed heavily, Tilden
was unhurt and walked to the Hyba
Flying Field to obtain assistance. When
word of the accident was received at
Boiling Field aviators from both the
Army and Navy posts set out to look for
the wreck. A pilot from the naval
station was the first to locate Tuden,
who waved back that he was unhurt.
Leonard G. Frye, the first to reach the
scene, said he was standing outside the
barn watching the machine when the
engine suddenly stopped directly over
the building, and the plane went into
a tail spin. Ae he neared the ground
the motor again started, but the pilot,
apparently realizing he could not right
the plane, jumped with his parachute.
Tilden said it was test plane being
tried out for just such emergencies.
and that his principal difficulty when
he jumped was trying to keep clear OF
the machine. The plane was completely
wrecked and the engine buried itself
two feet into the ground. .
Surrounding roads were filled with
automobiles, following the crash, which
occurred in such an obscure place that
few of those who sought its location
were successful. The exact point was
on the road about mile below Penn
daw, and about half a mile on hill
side from that road. Several pilots
from Hybia Valley said they few over
the scene of the crash several times
before observing the pilot, who was
waving his coat at them.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March i6.-A-
most Immediately following the sign.
ing of the s65,000,ooO road bond bill
by Gov. Richards, the measure was
thrown into the courts In test case
by two Columbia citizens. In the
meantime, opponents of the bill in the.
House and Senate we're organizing
their forces to open their own legal
battle against the measure in the
courts. p
Late today further protest was made
at Joint meeting of the House and
Senate against the six cent gasoline
tax bill and an effort was made to get
the protest printed in the journal in
order to give the courts the right to
take up the bill and pass on its con-.
stitutionality.
Clarence E. Richards of Columbia,
brought action against the Statewide
provisions Of the S65,00000O highway
measure and the two-district' plan was
attacked by j. S. Farr, also of Column
bia. Chief Justice r. c. Watts Of the
Supreme Court signed a rule to show
cause April 8 in both cases.
When the two houses met today to
ratify acts the six cents" gasoline tax
bill being among the number, the pre-
siding officers handed down their 7rul-
ing against protest begun several days
ago TO the effect that the gasoline tax
bill had not received three separate
readings on three separate days in each
house
Opponents Of the tax bill then Of
fered motion to have the protest
printed in the journal. This motion
was taken up by each house separately
and both refused to have the protest
entered. Without such a record of pro-
test 1t would be without the jurisdfc-
ton of the courts to take up con-
sideration of the constitutionality of
the bill Under the rules Of the general
assembly some entry will have to be
made in the journal on the action
taken against the protest, even though
the protest itself is not printed and
further action against the bill will de-
pend on the manner in which the
journal entry is made.

life. The farmer is being bankrupted
by the demands made upon him. The
relief of the situation, If 1t comes, must
come by providing for him the means
by which he can protect himself against
the ruinous exactions now made upon
him.
"This may be achieved only through
organizing and financing. The logic of
modern events Is organization and COM
bination and through these, the control
of production and prices.
Much has been said about the in
creased taxes the farmers pay. increased
freight rates, the enormous increase in
the prices of the things he has to buy,
such as labor, farming implements,
fertilizer, etc.
IF he can be so organized and A.
nanced that he can charge costs and
profit, legitimate and necessary costs
and profits, in the price of the thing
that he produces. as industries do now,
the burden will then be lifted from his
shoulders and passed on to those who
purchase his products and those who
consume them. The burden then will
be distributed universally rather than
borne by him alone"

The father is a small truck
farmer, beset by taxes and debts.
His all absorbing ambition is to Sc
cure enough money to buy addi~

has centered her hearts affection
and her hopes upon her daughter
The latter sometimes works in the

years the two have labored and
their combined savings have been
