SERVES TIME

All employees in the superinten-
dent of documents office at the
Government Printing Office ere
being kept in" an extra hour
because a few of their number
have been carrying newspapers
into the building.
Adoption of "schoolmaster tao
tics" in the Federal service has
caused a feeling of unrest to
perVade in all departments of
the Governments printing plant.
George H. Carter. Public
Printer, issued the order barring
newspapers last year when he
initiated an independent crusade
against betting on horse races
and on the daily figures of the
New York Clearing House and
the Treasury balance. known as
the Numbers game"
He ruled all in this particular
department must report at 8
o'clock in the morning. instead Of
8. and work through to the usual
time 430.
He also moved back the start
of the luncheon period from noon
to / o'clock,
The employees feel Carter should
have found and punished the
guilty workers instead of making
the whole class" do extra work.
Carter has been told of Their
attitude but has declined to dis
cuSS his action.

HER ONLY HURT
IS SPRA|NED
WRIST
Chicago Sub-deb in Attempt
ing Jump Is Caught and
Held Suspended Over 2 Hrs.

CHICAGO, July Z G.NS).-
Nursing a sprained wrist, Miss
Mary Fahrney,' 18.year-old sub
deb, recalled with a shudder TO-
day her fight with a tangled
parachute which held her sus-
pended beneath an airplane yes
terday for two hours while fliers
risked their lives in rescue at
tempts.
Bruno Schustek. a parachute
jumper, was hurled 500 feet to
his death when he climbed down
a knotted rope from another
plane to aid the girl. \
Her First Leap
Miss Fahrney's parachute fin
ally became diSlodged by her
weight and she was sprawled on
the field short distance from
where Schustek's body fell. AL
though the chute became dis
lodged at an altitude Of 1000
feet. it opened and Miss Fahrney
alighted with minor scratches,
bruiceS and a wrenched wrist. 1t
was her first parachute leap.
After several other fliers had
failed to reach the girl from rope
ladders suspended from other
planes Schustek took the air snd
descended knotted rope. Just
as he reached out to free the
girl she fell and her parachute
opened.
Sure She Was to Die
The girls rescuer started to
climb back up the rope. but
lacked the strength and was
snapped off. He was killed in
stantly.
The girl said today:
yelling up to Pilot L. F.
Kline, / begged him to take
me down 10 feet from the
ground and let me go. / felt
sure l was going to die. Kline
wouldn't do it and told me to
stay in my harness"
Miss Fahrney said her para.
chute tangled in the airplane'S
rope ladder as she climbed over
the side. Because of the way
the harness was strapped to her
back she was powerless to climb
back into the plane.

Not To Be Chnn0ed

he said, can be propelled by
motive power or oars.
Mr.. Pontikis was born in Greece
so years ago and before coming
to this country he was a sea-
faring man. He said his largest
boats will hold 100 persons and
are adapted for big passenger
ships for life-saving in emergency.
An improved keel, he said, pre-
vents the boats from being cap

MiShapS.
By MILES W. VAUGHN
United Press stan Correspondent

TOXIC, Jan. 27.-Police have
started determined drive to con-
troll Tokio's amazing traffic situa-
ton.
The streets OF Japans capital
probably are the most difficult in
the world for motorcar drivers. and
traffic accidents have increased to
an alarming extent American au-
tomobiles largely are responsible for
the trouble
Started Plant
Henry Ford started an assembling
plant near Yokohama some four
years ago and soon was followed by
General Motors, with a big plant
near osaka
The two organizations made posi-
BILE what many japanese consider
the worst pest of modern life in
their cities-the One Yen Taxi or
"Yentaku," as they are called by
japanese.
Tighten Regulation
To cope with the situation police
have frightened the regulations for
issuing motor driving licenses, es-
tabliS1ed stop and go electric sig
nails at most busy intersections, and
are attempting to educate the peo-
pie to walk on the sidewalks or at
least on the sides of the streets.
The principal thorOuhgfares of the
city now have sidewalks and are
paved. Side streets and alleys in the
older parts Of the capital, however,
are much as they were hundreds of
years ago

Little Men Who Baked Big Men
I Postmaster's Son and Village Shop-Keeper Fooled
Il Escape of Louis XVI
BY j. p. GLASS
BY J. p. GLASS.

Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and the
Dauphin reached Varonne, in North
eastern France, at midnight of June
22,1791. They were $50 miles from
Paris. If luck held good they would
yet reach the frontier-and safety from
their rebellious subjects.
They drove tot the post-house.
Fresh horses at once" said the
Kings outriderS. I'VE must proceed
without delay"
There are no horses ready" was the
reply. Have You your pasSports?"
An officer presented the passports.
They were taken to M. Sausse, store
keeper, who hapIlened to be public Of
f1cer of the town.
He cast his eyes over the papers They
we're made out in the name of Baron
Korf. The man who now waited SO
anXiouSly in the carriage was described
as the baron's valet de chambre.
But M. Sausse suspected that this
midnight arrival was no valet de
chambre. A half-hour before he had
been reused from his slumber by young
Drouet, son of the postmaster at St.
MenehOuld. The boy had seen Louis
as her left st. Menehould and had rid
den hard through the night to tell the
officials Of Varenne that Louis XVI and
his family were fleeing France in dis
guise.
M. Sausse was timid and hesitant.
Truth to say, he had no feeling against
his monarch. For moment the fate
of the King and Queen and Dauphin
hung in the balance. The passports
shook in his hand as he strove to make
a decision.
But the arm Of the revolution was
long Even now the republicans Of Va
renne were gathering about M Sausse's
house. Many of them carried guns.
The little shopkeeper went up to
Louis carriage, bowling deeply to the
seeming 1ackey within.

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

March 1s, 1856.-Mr. I. s. Richard
son, inventor of the atmospheric tele-
graph" today answered one of the crit
its Of his scheme to send mail matter
in a tube between Washington and Bal
timore.
Mr.. Richardson recently said that
seven tons of mail matter would be five
minutes in coming In this manner from
Baltimore to this city-that is, seven
tons would travel at the rate OF 700 feet
in a second.
'Iago' who inquiries If seven tons of
mailable matter move at the rate of 700
feet per second, how is 1t possible to
stop it when it arrives at Washington
I would say" declares Mr.. Richardson,
that the air contained in the last mile
of the tube, at the Washington end,
will be employed as an elastic buffer 10
resist and overcome the momentum OF
the load. This compressed air will be
allowed TO escape, however, through a
safety valve, under weight OF 40
pounds per square inch, which amount
Of resistance against the plunger Will
very nearly overcome the said momen-
tum, and after the load has passed the
safety valve (Which will be located
few feet from the end) the escape OF
air will be restricted to small aper-
ture, by which arrangement the We
locity will be arbitrarily reduced to a
gentle motion. The bell will announce
the arrival of the mails which are thus
safely landed in the Post Office at
Washington"
Mr.. Richardson hopes that the Gov
eminent will try out his invention. He
says he Is prepared to answer any other
objections to it that may present them
selves to the minds of any persons in
terested in the device.
The inventors proposal has aroused
considerable public interest, but thus
far there is no indication at the Capt.
toll that Congress is ready to authorize
the construction of such q mail tube for
experimental purposes, either between
Washington and Baltimore or In any
other part Of the country. Mr.. Richard
son, however, Is not discouraged and in
tends to keep on trying to get recogni-
ton for his invention.
