my wife says and I agree with

we were still getting this wonder

price," Continuing with his
statement Mr.. Cogan who resides

they told me Of the great benefit

IMAGINE petite young woman opening
the door of an airplane 10000 feet above
the earth, pausing for a moment to
smile to her nervous pilot, and nom
chalanty making dive into space.
You will then have faint idea of the superb
courage of Vita Shoemaker who recently set
o worlds record for women's parachute
jumping
Sitting face to face with her in her apart
ment, it was difficult to believe that she pos
sesSed the physical stamina for jumping from
airplanes. Without her heavy flying clothes
she proved to be a small, slender and rather
frail-looking young woman who weighs only
81 pounds. One can more easily imagine her
to be the type to whom the comforts of the
ground would make a stronger appeal than the
dangers of the air. Yet she laughingly assured
the interviewer that she would much rather
occupy herself with flying feats than with any
OF the So-called feminine diversions. AS the
mother of 2-year-old son and as a capable
business woman who holds an important posi-
ton with a large Wall Street firm, she is not
lured to the skies by any happerish desire for
publicity thrills, but by an intense and sincere
enthusiasm for aviation.
ST had made many jumps since I've been
flying" she said when asked about her flying,
'but never at a very high altitude. It seemed
to me, though that with the mems record
standing at $4,000 feet, women should be able
to equal it. The next jump I make hope to
do just that If not exceed it.
WAS scared! MOI mucn 1ou Know,
she continued frankly, sit really isn't as dam
gerous as people think Parachutes have been
so perfected that they are practically fool
proof, and If you know how to use one you
win land on the ground almost unframed. The
only trick is" she added with a smile, ito
summon up enough courage to make the initial
jump.
"WHEN I was going up in the plane to
make my jump, the pilot. Capt j. Nc
Mahon, who is one of the best in the country
was terribly nervous about me- AS for the
cameraman, who is an experienced aviator
himself, he was upset that ne accidentally
mt me on the nose with a rope. had to try
70 calm both of them. OF course, as 1 looked
out OF the ship, began having some quaIms
myself There was a sinking feeling in the
pit OF my stomach when saw what had let
myself In for. However, I had made pre-

vious agreement with the pilot that If hesi-
tated he was to give me shove. After urging
him not to worry about me and trying to
soothe his fears, certainly wasn't going to
have him push me of.
when he gave me the signal I opened the
door and got one foot out. The other foot
refused to bulge. Then I saw some planes
circling around waiting to take pictures, and
managed to get myself together and smile It
was no time to shirk my jump.
There are, as you know two kinds of jumps
that a person can make. One is the Dragon
In which one climbs to the wing of the plane
opens his parachute and lets it drag him of,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-28

and the other is the live jump in which he
hrst jumps from the plane and then opens his
Chute. To make this jump safely one has to
wait few seconds before pulling the rip-cord.
Otherwise, If he opens it near the plane it is
apt to become entangled In the machinery and
cause trouble.
Since my plane was at high altitude and
was, therefore. carrying a terrific load it would
nave been too much for it to have me climb
on the wings It was considered safer for me
to make live jump One precaution that
my pilot took was to tie rope to the ship
and fasten the other end to the rip-cord Of
my chute The air was so strong there thct
there was possibility of my fainting and not
being able to pull the rip-cord. In that case,
the rope would do it.
We'll, there was, all set to CO. and if had
jumped at my pilots signal would have made
flne landing. But waited bit too long and
consequently I made it more difficult for my
self. Finally, with last and rather sickIy
smile to my pilot dove off. The air was SO
Icy cold that my face smarted and I could
scarcely breathe For an instant seemed to
be carried along with the powerful winds and
I became airsick, feeling which persisted all
tne way down. Then started falling rapidly
and while that was happening the buckle hold
ing my harness suddenly opened and gave

saw was clear OF the ship. pulled my rip
cord. Would the chute work? 1t shot open
with noise like a gun shot, giving me a hard
jerk. After that began to go down more
slowly and gracefully. The silence was CHASTITY
and there was sharp ringing in my ears
Then the sensation began to be more pleasant

around me. went right through cloud
which was like going through fog, and passed
some birds, feeling very much like a winged
creature myself. But suddenly, as looked
below, I spotted some high-power wires under
me- At first I thought my goggles were de-
ceiving me. pushed them up and looked
again. When saw that they were actually
wires, got my first real fright. If I didn't
get away from them, I'd be electrocuted. I
began manipulating the cords Of the chute 70

Odd Beliefs Take Hold of Saltwater Sailors

Sailors and superstition have always
been closely allied writes Stanley Paul
in Parsons Weekly. Sailors attribute
many virtues even to the saltiness of
sea water. In Brittany the fisherfolk
believe that the best treatment for
cold In the head Is to drink glass Of
sea water in the morning and evening.
In various parts Of the world sea wa
ter Is much used as lotion in cases
of local Inflammation, stiffness Of the
joints, and spine disease. Many old
sailors still maintain that the sound
of the waves foretells certain events.
Thus, on the coast of Cork, when the
waves are producing an extraordinary
roaring noise 1t is taken as predicting
the death of great man. There are
still apparently sailors who believe In
modern Jonahs-that tempest is due
to the presence on board ship Of some

BUYERS APATHET|C
 ON T0DAY'S CURB
Market Displays Tendency to
 Seek Lower Levels

New York. Dec. (P-The curb market displayed a tendency to seek lower levels for the current decline today. In the absence of any con- structive news to encourage their operations buyers remained apa- thetic and virtually the entire list of active stocks sagged.
 Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania and Humble receded to new years mini mums but the Standard group and Cities Service attracted support a small fraction below their previous final prices.
 Announcement of the abandon ment of negotiations for merger of four New York city banks influenc- ed some selling of Goldman Sachs which has a large interest in the Manufacturers Trust, one of the institutions. The stock sold down as low as ' 3-8 new low for the year. Other investment and hold ing company shares moved lower.
 The utility group showed fair re- sistance to selling pressure and with the exception of American Light and Traction and American and Foreign Power which sold off more than point each, the decline was very slow. Electric Bond and Share was under some pressure but sell ing was not extensive. American Gas recovered a good portion of it's previous days loss.
 Dresser, Driver Harris and Amer ican Cyanamid B were among the industrials that eased the latter to a new 1880 low.

SELLING EXTENDED
 IN BOND MARKET
Declines in High Grade Issues
 Limited to Fractions

New York, Dec. 9 GpJ - Selling extended to all sections of the bond market today and was most marked in corporate domestic issues. De- clines in high grade issues were lim- tied to fractions, but losses among the medium and low grade obliga- tions were larger. United States gov ernments were soft and sold at a slight concession from the previous days final figures.
 The state of South Carolina mar keted S10,000,000 4 3-4 per cent only offering of the day
 The weekly report of federal re- serve member banks showed bond holdings which have increased steadily since last spring had declin- ed s55, 100000 during the week enedcd December 3. Bond men sug- gested that selling of investment holdings by banks principally New York district was due to the demand for currency incident to the Christ mas season. Holdings of government securities increased s2,000,000 and the total held by member banks now is s340.O00, 900 above year ago.
 Virtually the whole group of rail- read bonds, both liens and convert
 bles, moved lower today as liqui- dation continued and many new lows for the year were registered. Weak ness in International Telephone de- benture and convertible bonds was a feature of utilities.
 Several weak spots cropped out in the foreign list, German bonds were reactionary and the Interna- tional 1-2's, which have been moving upward, reacted more than a point.
