Many Reasons for Cost.
A stratosphere flight actually costs
$4,000 to 100000 or more. The big
ger the balloon, the higher you go
and the more it costs The better your
luck, the less it costs. If you make
two or three false attempts, If there
are false alarms about the weather,
then the cost rises and rises, till dollars
become as scarce as air molecules on
the outer edge of the earths atmos-
phere.

and told me to do what liked with It..
1t would spell security for us and our
children-not wealth, to be sure, but
security.
Then my breath came back and
I knew I'd spend it in the strato-
sphere. Security is worth nothing
unless the life it secures is worth
something. So the thing I would
secure would not be just the life it
self, but the life's work, the strato-
sphere.
Consequently. it must be that I see
in a stratosphere flight something
more than a thrill. In simple Ian
guage, it is just to advance by even
little bit the sum total of human
knowledge.

Ludwig o. Muench, husband OF Mrs.

DR.. Muench's failure to testify short
ened the defense case, and Circuit

Charge Against Trio.
The three, along with DR.. Muench,
we're charged after the st. Louis court
hearing with conspiracy 20 obtain un-
lawful possession of child.
The finding of the Court of Appeals
was that the Muenches, Jones and
Mrs. Borrower had conspired to pro-
cure the Ware baby so that the
Muenches might palm it off on the
public" as their own natural-born
child.
DR.. Marsh Pitzman, bachelor st.
Louis physician, who once signed a
statement testifying to Mrs. Muench's
motherhood, asserted in the present
trial that he did so in the belief he
was the childS father. He added that
in his opinion now Mrs. Muench had
not given birth to child.

volumes of priceless editions, the
association also offered the city
its present endowment fund of
approximately $4,000 on condition
that the city properly house the
books and maintain a free public

posal with a view to working out
some plan whereby the city can
accept the proposition. Tentative
figures placed the operation cost
