field to be near the ship at the time of
crashing.
Cameras were set and the crews stationed

the spot where he was to stop. In fact
made him practice running to it several times

coming into crack there would be misun-

Taking the air, banked around the field
vertically and saw that all conditions

for the shot. When but about 400 feet from

200 feet he had passed the spot and was
directly under me. From then on blind

PLYING at an altitude of 100 feet and
crashing on a spot where a man might
be waiting would be murder. If I passed my
lines the scene would be ruined and a
ship wrecked. 1t one of those few times

1t was one of those cases where I had no
chance to disSipate the force of my speed.
The impact of the motor was sufficient to

CRASHING is not difhcult-at least it does
not seem difhcult to me. like the sound
of splintering wood, of tearing linen, of the
crunching, rending noise the motor and
propeller plunge into the earth. But it is hard
for my friends who wait below, their hearts
palpitating. They who wait the long minutes
before bank into the direction into which
must fall.
Perhaps my confidence is not one born OF
ignorance. With each crash learn new things,
and though each stunt is a separate example
to be solved, the experiences of those past serve
more or less as lessons
Only in the last half dozen crashes have
found that certain doctors advice has been
extremely valuable. For 18 hours before a crash
never eat. 1t leaves my stomach free and lean
which means that it would take an extreme
jolt to give me serious internal injury. Futher-
more, with heavy meal beforehand if were
injured, I'd be in bad condition for an opera
ton.
Another little precaution which I observe,
unless otherwise ordered is to strike the right
side of the ship first. Naturally, if I'm pitched
forward, my body will receive the brunt of the
shock on the right 1t is very silly first
thought, but not when you consider that If
struck on the left, the heart would receive the
jolt. The stomach is also a little more to the
left than directly in the center.
I Usually any accident beyond my calcu-
lationS is the result of an unexpected
change of conditions. There are times when
1t is too late to make change of mind.
The last few seconds of a crash must go

Sound involves crashes much more than do
cameras. Now it is necessary TO get flag sig
nails from both departments before heading
into the spot.
The cameramen may be ready and set and

If possible, I must avoid crash-save the

for another try, because something happened

~ Remember the ballad - the per-

city, the beautiful city Of Prague"
In case your geography is a bit wonky, Praha
Is the capital of the lively young repl ric of
C9echoslovakia. Its people proud their
neW-won freedom, have restored their own
language to first place. This is fine for them,
but not so fine for a visitor like me, whose
knowledge of their tongue could not be
discerned through the telescope that found
the new planet. 1t is tricky tongue. The
man who invented it certainly loved his
consonantS. Anyhow, Prague became Praha,
which Is pronounced like a short, surprised
laugh
To aid me to attain my few, simple needs
I armed myself with o book, promisingly
entitled THE Casual Travellers Best Friend,
or All the Conversation You Need in Czecho-
slovakia." It was volume made like the
Old-time American passport, just too big to
mt into any pocket. Possibly the publishers
idea was that the Casual Traveller should
carry it in his mouth, it would be handy
In case he fell down a well and wanted TO
shout for help In Czech.
ON the train bound for Praha was too busy
drinking in the scenery, etc, TO study the
book. But gained my hotel-the Royal Grand
Majestic Splendide-without mishap, as it was
conveniently situated directly over the railroad
yard. In the lobby 1 spied fellow guest Of
unfathomable nationality, who looked hike a
bearded marshmallow. I am fairly ample
myself, but he was ampler, being one of the
amplest men I ever set eyes on.

Z BOARDS CLAIM
WATER RATE
MONEYS

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. April 8.
Fuel was added to the fire today
in the controversy between the
two sets Of officers Of the An.
napolis Water Company who are
battling to control the direction
Of the municipal water organiza-
'tion.
g. Roland Brown, chairman OF
the water board, gave out state.
lnent declaring that William G..
Brewer, elected collector ct the re-
cent meeting at which the new
board was elected, was the duly
authorized official to whom con-
surners should pay bills due the
company, and threatening to cut
off the supply Of water to parties
failing to pay him.
George B. Woeful, counsel, how.
ever, says that the new collector
cannot legally lay claim to the
right Of collection, and declares
that all bills should be paid to
the old collector, Henry r. Zeller.
The election Of the new board
OF directors and the retention Of
the old, has put the consumers Of
tho city In the strange predica-
meat Of not knowing to whom
they shall pay their water bills.
