known as one of the most daring
and outstanding pilots in the
"stunting" game. 1t is claimed
that he flies an airplane upside
down better than most pilots do
in right side up position, and
his list of daring feats will in
clude everything in the catagory
of flying, as we'll as several man
euvers which he himself haE
worked out.
Perhaps the most spectacular
feat of the afternoon will be the
outstanding parachute Jump by
Jack Huber, often referred to as
Americas Most Daring Para
chute Jumper" Huber will so
aloft to an altitude of $4,000 feet,
bail out" and plunge to within
just a few hundred feet of the
ground before he attempts to op-
en- his parachute feat that only
one other jumper has ever &C
complished, and he was fatally
injured in a foreign country a
short while ago when his para
chute failed him.
Huber will be so high WHEN ne
leaves the plane that he will be
invisible to the spectators on the
ground and will release a stream
Of smoke to enable the audience
to follow his downward descent
back to the earth.
Among the other features on
the two-hour program will be
aerial dog fighting, balloon burst
ing. sky writing, picking up a
handkerchief with the wing tip
of a plane as it dives down across
the airport a safe distance IN
front of the spectators and many
other thrilling events, calculaed
to thrill spectators.
The program will start prompt
ly at $3.50 p. m, and will be pre-
sented with a rapid-fire precision
that has won nationwide fame
for this troupe of pilots and stunt
performers.
While the Flying Aces make a
strict rule that there are positive
ly no passengers carried while the
two-hour program is N progress,
special arrangements have been
made whereby one if the largest
land planes ever constructed will
be in the city Saturday and Sun
day and will make a speciality of
sight seeing tours in the modern
manner.
In order ito assure the public
that they will witness the fastest
moving show ever presented in
this section of the country the Fly,
/ ing Aces have entered into an
agreement with the American
Legion in which they guarantee
to present each and every act a.
advertised or they will forfeit

efforts to bring these two gentle
men together seemed futile. Lew
is summoned Homer Martin, head
of the striking union, and John
Brophy, c. I. o. lieutenant, from
Detroit and conferred with them
on strategy. All the union lead
ers appeared supremacy confident,
and Lewis insisted the demand that
the union be recognized as the sole
bargaining agency must be conced-
ed if there were to be any strike
settlement negotiations.
Secretary Perkins, after talking
with both sides, went directly to
the White House. She said she was
keeping the President informed"
of developments. The belief was
general that it would be necessary
to invoke the personal aid of Mr..
Roosevelt to bring about a peace
full settlement.
Lewis brought about the tempo
rary suspension of negotiations by
statement he gave the press. With
brutal frankness he said:
''We have advised the secretary
of labor that the economic royal
ists'-and the du Points and Mr..
Sloan are among them-used their
money to try to drive Mr.. Roose-
welt out of the White House.
Labor rallied to the Presidents
support when they attacked him.
'These same economic royalists
now have their fangs in labor, and
labor now expects the government
to support labor in its legal and logi-
cal detectives.
This was too much for Sloan, who
started for home with the remark:
"We find it useless to attempt any
further negotiations in Washington.

door, using your shovel or a hoe.
Don't disturb the ash under the
live Goals. That gives you a fire
bed sloping down from the edge Of
the door to the rear.
Now, shovel a charge of fresh
coal into the hollow toward the
back of the furnace, being careful
to leave a mound of live Goals in
front. These live Goals ignite the
gases rising from the contact Of
the fresh and hot coal, causing
them to burn.
Finally, when these gases are
thoroughly burned, clean the ash
pit and reset the hampers. The
turn damper in the smoke pipe,
remember, should be nearly
closed. The check danper should
be entirely closed. The ashpit
damper should be open. Open the
slide in the fredoor only about the
width of a wooden match.
That's the way to refueI eco
nomically and the best way to ob-
tain the most satisfactory results.

Lewis position was strengthened
by the settlement of the Pittsburgh
Plate Glass company strike and in
creased prospects that Libbey-
Owens-Ford glass workers would
return to their jobs. His strategy
has been to curtail General Motors
production, and interfere with it's
principal competitors, Ford and
Chrysler, as little as possible. Re-
sumption of production by glass
manufacturers would permit Ford
and Chrysler to produce at full
speed while sit-down strikers keep

CONGRESS did not wait for the
~ Inauguration to rush through
the bill asked by the President ex-
tending for two and one-half years
his power to control the two
billion dollar sterilization fund and
to devalue the dollar. Senator Van
denberg and Representative Smell,
minority leaders, made futile eff
forts to amend the measure so that
it would call on the secretary of the
treasury to submit to congress
complete audit and report upon
the operations of the fund after the
expiration date in 1889.
The fund originated three years
ago at the time of the 40 per cent
debasement of the dollar. Gold
holdings of private individuals,
banks and the reserve banks COM
mandeered by the Treasury, were
"revalued'. Each ounce of gold
formerly valued officially at $2067
an ounce was arbitrarily raised to
$35 an ounce. This resulted in two
billion, 800 million dollar profit"
for the Treasury.
The odd 800 millions was irnme-
diately diverted to the Treasury's
general account to cover federal
expenditures. Two billions were al
located for use as a "stabiliza-
ton" fund. New legislation was
passed authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to use the stabiliza-
ton fund to manipulate the value
of the dollar in foreign exchange
transactions, to purchase silver and
gold and to rig the quotations on
United States government securities
in the market.

Based on the October, 1886, pay

and happiness of the entire people
of the United States. In effect, he
promised that the federal govern

life for one-third of the nation now

who are not getting their share of
the nations material benefits the
government will provide homes,

The Presidents listeners inter-
preted some of his phrases as a
challenge to the Supreme court, as
when he said:
Nearly all of us recognize that
as intricacies of human relation
ships increase, so power to govern
them also must increase-power to
stop evil; power to do good. The
essential democracy of our nation
and the safety of our people depend
not upon the absence of power but
upon lodging it with those whom
the people can change or continue
at stated intervals through an hon.
est and free system of elections.
The constitution of 1887 did not
make our democracy impotent.
''In fact, in these last four years,
we have made the exercise of all
power more democratic; for we
have begun to bring private auto

was an astonishing performance.
Hughes average speed for 2,490
miles over what he calls a "modi-

is the greatest sustained speed
flight ever made.
The flight was made without a
stop, the cruising altitude being
about $4,000 feet, and the motor of
the plane could not be allowed to
operate at full throttle for more
than a small fraction of the time.
The top speed reached was $50
