IMATTERN VIEW
OF LIFE GRIM
Tells Advisers There's no
Chance of Coming out
Alive, Anyway
BY UNITED PRESS

Jimmy Mattern has listened to
the advice and counsel of we'll
wishers and more cautious elders
who looked with askance at his
daredevil stunts most of his life.
And to all, whether it was his
anxious parents or a ground crew
swarming over a plane in which
he was to make a dangerous
flight, he quoted lightly his ia
vorite bit of grim philosophy,
"There's no chance of coming out
of this world alive, anyway"
He was christened with the i'm
posing name of James Joseph
Mattern. From knee pants days
in Freeport, ILL.,, where he was
born, he has been known as
Jimmy.
TALL AND ATHLETIC
Mattern. tall and athletic, spent
many years at the stick of an
airplane before he became world
famous aviator in 1882 when he
end Bennett Griffin attempted a
round-the-world flight to beat the
record of Wiley Post and Harold
Gatty.
He learned to fly in the army.
Spent three years in Hollywood
fying in war pictures, including
"HelPs Angels" Unheralded and
unknown he flew over strange
terrain - over Canada, Alaska,
Hawaii, Japan and Siberia. He
pioneered flying in the hot near,
tropics of Mexico, transformed
over Texas and the Southwest.
When he and Griffin poised
their machine at the starting line
| for a world flight he was young
man, old in flying experience.
ARMY TRAINED
The army training was at the
| flying school at Kelly Field, San
Antonio, Tex. He resigned from
the army in 1925 after three
years experience and for the next
three years flew in Hawaii. From
stunt flying in Hollywood, he
graduated to the ranks of a test
pilot for the Stinson Airplane Co.
Some prominence was given
him when he piloted the first re-
! frigerator ship, transporting fish
| in Mexico. Eventually he became
mail pilot between Tampico and
Mexico City.
{ In 1880, he became chief pilot
Flor the Carl Cromwell Line be-
tween San Angelo, Fort Worth,

OF INTEREST TO WOkAEN
CITY SCHOOL HEADS
GIVEN MORE POWER
fContinued from page one)

CONTINUED from page one)
TEN from an educational stand
point.
Still another advantage OF this
new system in which the school
commission is given the power TO
set up these administrative units
to include as much area as they
see fit, is that all these units au-
tom, .ically have the right to vote
supplemental taxes, both for the
state-supported eight months term
and for a ninth month, it is point
ed out. Thus if a superintendent
of a unit can convince the people
within that unit that supplemental
taxes are necessary to the build
ing up of a more adequate school
system, he can get the additional
money needed. This factor, 1t is
maintained, should tend to in
crease the individual initiative of
the unit superintendent to make
the schools under their jurisdic-
ton the very best possible. 1t also
makes the unit superintendent
solely responsible for the type OF
! instruction in the entire unit,
from the first grade through high
school. If the children are not
properly prepared when they
reach high school, he cannot blame
| it on the fact that they went to
elementary school in the county
I or some other system.
While this procedure will un-
doubtedly cut into the size Of the
Icounty school systems to quite ar
extent and reduce the number OF
teachers and pupils directly under
couNy superintendent, it should
react to their benefit eventually
! it is maintained. 1t will, of course,
reduce the field in which the cOun'
ty superintendent can play poll
tics. But this in turn should serve
to make them pay more attention
to the Institutional side of THEN
Jobs and raise the educational
standing of their systems. Since
the amount of money available
will be proportionately the same
as for the city units, it will afford
the county superintendent a
chance to really better their sys.
TENS, many think. The change viii
be watched with much interest.

"0ctane''


A new word =" "Octane" - seems
likely to become everyday language
in the motorists vocabulary with the
introduction of this years new cars.
Already certain gas stations are dis
playing signs reading "high octane
rating" and other dispensers Of the
better grades of fuel promise to cash
in on the merchandising value OF a
high octane content in their gaso-
lines.
Although long an engineering term,
the word "octane" did not approach
popular usage until the introduction
of 1888 Chevrolet Master and Stand
ard sizes, both equipped with a de-
vice new to the industry known as
the "octane selector."
It's function primarily is to give
the motorist knockless performance
and nearly uniform cost-per-mlie
from all grades of gasoline, with re-
sultant economy, according to }. M.
Crawford, chief engineer Of the
Chevrolet Motor company. BY use
of the selector in 1888 models, the
recognized economy of Chevrolet cars
NAV be increased by an average Of
as much as two to three miles per
GALLON. Mr.. Crawford stated.

Better Seeds Make Better Crops
The work of analyzing samples o.
seed for purity and termination i!
an important function of the Di
vision of Plant Industry of the State
Department of Agriculture, according
to Earl H. Hanefeld, State Director
of Agriculture.
Seven inspectors gather these seed:
throughout various sections of the
state and send them into the depart
ment where they are analyzed by the
State Seed Analyst, c. n Mcintyre
and his assistants.
Under Ohio law, seed dealers are
required to place a label on each
container of agricultural seeds, civ
ing the common accepted name OF
such agricultural seeds, the per cent
of pure seed, the per cent of weed
seed, the amount of noxious weed
seed, approximate per cent Of germ
ination of such agricultural seed to-
gether with the month and year
such seed was tested.
The analysis of the seed is made
to establish the truthfulness of the
information placed on the label of
the seed sold to purchasers. The
popularity Of this service is shown
by the large increase in the number
of samples submitted for analysis
each year. Over three times as
many samples were submitted in
1882 as were submitted in 1928. In
this year, 1880 seed samples were
received for analysis by the depart
ment. In 1929, 1856 samples were
received; in 1880, the number in
creased to 3,436, and in 1881, 4,271
samples were examined. In 1882, a
total of STA samples were submitted
This is the time Of year when good
seeds are in big demand. In COM
menting on the purchase of seed, Di-
rector Hanefeld says, while farm
ers are making every effort to keep
costs as low as possible,
they should exercise great deal of
care in the purchasing of seed. Poor
quality seed, while cheaper, may
prove very expensive, either from
failure to "get stand" or growing
a crop not desired, usually an infes-
tation Of noxious weeds that it takes
years to remove. 1t is safe policy
to buy your seed from known and
reliable dealer"

DRUG STORES PATRONS
RUSH TO SODA COUNTER

Two men to one woman enter drug
stores and 43 per cent of the drug
patrons go direct to the soda counter
where ice cream and milk are dis
pensed.
This is one of the interesting facts
brought out by a recent drug store
survey, according to an announce
ment made today by Fred l.. Shoen-
berger, secretary of the Ohio Dairy
Products Association, and shows the
strong hold that dairy products have
on the public taste.
Another fact brought out by the
survey is that while trade falls off
on Sundays in downtown drug stores,
it increases in the neighborhood
stores. This is believed due in large
part to heavy patronage of the soda
counter and, in all probability, the
newspaper stand.

Many of the Southwestern all-year

THE AKRON
By Helena Frances O'Hara

By Helena Frances OHara
One autumn day, | saw her soar,
Resplendent to the west;
Gray skies beyond her seemed to
match
The gray lines of her crest.
It's glittering outlines nearer came,
To thrill all rapturous eyes;
Mans dream come true in this grand
craft
A palace Of the skies.
When twilight deepened into dusk,
Upon later day;
Lights blinking in the distance
marked,
Her down the great stairway.
Great beauty of the starlit skies,
With lights from stern to stem,
She seemed against the azure blue,
A mammoth diadem.
When April breezes softly told,
Of springtime on the way;
The Akron left her hangar wide,
Around the close Of day.
A happy crew upon her stood,
And left New jerseys shore,
Nor little dream that fate ordained,
She would return no more.
The deepened fog, and lightning
flash,
A tempest Of the sea,
Around her roared; and of her crew,
None have survived but three.
The great ship lies shattered wreck
With lives we least could spare,
Lost in the combat of the waves,
That tossed about them there.

DAY AND NIGHT
BY Helena Frances O'Hara

Today the planes are flying low,
The bright sun wells its face,
Save where rushing rift of clouds,
Gives it a moments space.
The sky crow flaps a rapid wing,
While here and there they fly;
To pick their share of winters store,
Of golden grain nearby.
The night comes down, SO stars are
out;
The south wind sweeps the vale;
The lowing kline call through the
dusk,
Upon their homeward trail.
But, 10, | see mellow light, /,
From some house far away,
Beyond the banks Of Walnut Run,
/ saw not, through the day.
