Fountain Pens Affected by Altitude,
According to an Official of Airline

Old Man Altitude still holds de-
cided edge over the fountain pen
manufacturers, according to an Off
cial of an airline corporation.
The challenge Of high attitudes
has been accepted by at least two
of the largest pen designers in the
world, and to date the decision has
always gone to the rarefied air. De-
spite the best efforts of pen manu-
facturers over a period of several
years, fountain pens still insist on
discharging ink on people who are
careless in opening them above 5000
feet.
In the early days of air transpor-
tation, when the problem was still
new to the fountain pen industry,
fountain pen could be depended
upon to act as real fountain and
provide the writer with squirt.
Since those days most manufac-
turers have succeeded in inprov-
ing their product so the actual squirt
is eliminated but no one has been
entirely successful in eliminating
profuse leakage.
The reason for this is that the
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-03-11

fountain pen, filled at normal alti-
tudes on the ground, has pressure
within a sac equal to the pressure
outside the case. AS the pen is car
ried aloft the outside air pressure
decreases while that within the pen
remains the same. The result is
constant pressure within the pen
tending to force the ink out-in
spurts whenever the passage is i'm
perfect.
Aggravating the situation is the
fact that present day transport
planes operate at attitudes almost
invariably above 5000 feet whereas
the old-time transports seldom ex.
ceeded 5000 feet except in unusual
weather or wind conditions.
Many people have thrown away
perfectly good pens under these cir.
cumstances, convinced they had in
some way been ruined, but it's only
altitude.

He turned on her, low-voiced.

He snapped the car door open.
Marian Dunn hesitated a mo-
ment more; then stepped out of the
car and walked ahead of him up
the street.
Henry Shafer, justice of what

Sheriff Amos looked disguised.
Lets get on with it."
William Wheeler, do you plead
guilty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty"
What seems to have gone on
here?" Shafer asked Amos.
Judge" said Walt Amos, "since
this ruckus on Short Crick there's
been lot of people trampling
around there, cumming up the evil
dence. So we made deputies Of
Pinto Halliday and Kid Bender, and
we sent 'em to Short Crick to keep
fellers out of there. Now yesterday
this Wheeler come prowling around
there, and when the Kid told him to
beat it, he wouldn't go. The Kid
tried to argue with him, but this
Teller got tough, and they had
words. The upshot was, Wheeler
drew his gun and fired. He"
Wheeler broke in. "Well, of all

Keep quiet" said Shafer. The
81 men exchanged chances.
"Well," the sheriff went on, "he
didn't hit anything, but the flash of
the gun was right under the nose of

backwards on him. The Kid come

brain, fracture Of the leg and two
busted ribs. I got his sworn state

Nov, now! You can't put that
in," Wheeler objected. "Either you
have to let me cross-examine him,
or you can't put in his statement
at ALL"
well, We'll see what it says, any
way" Shafer decided. "Justice is
what we're after here!"
/. Amos now produced and read
aloud Kid Bender's statement-a
repetition Of his own.
"You got any questions, Wheel
er?"
Wheeler was appalled,. 1t had not
occurred to them that Bender's peo-
pie would attempt so baldfaced a
lie. What had started out as sam
pie of irritable officiousness had
suddenly taken on unknown posi-
bilities. Angering, Wheeler prom
Used himself that once Horse Dunn
was extricated he would clean house
in this county if it took half of all
he had.
'"The Kid isn't here to be ques-
Toned" he snapped.
"I'll call Pinto Halliday" Amos
said.
The lanky Halliday came out of
corner reluctantly, looking lima
tured; and a swarthy cowboy who
had no official business there was
persuaded to give Halliday his seat
at the table.
Under the questioning Of Walt
Amos, Pinto Halliday now stated
that he had been in different part
of the Short Creek cuts. Being down
in the arroyo, he had not seen the
shot fired; but he was riding to join
Kid Bender and he had ridden up
out of the cut in time to see the Kid
down under his fallen horse, and

anybody else with Wheeler?"

Billy Wheeler looked at Marian.
The girl sat with her cheek leaned
upon one hand; her face was quiet,
her eyes sober and watchful.
''That's ALL" said Amos.
Whats the idea," Shafer asked
Wheeler sternly. pulling gun on
an officer?"
Wheeler ignored him. Halliday"
he said, "now far away were you
when you heard the shot fired?"
"I'd say about 300 yards"
"Yet right away you saw this
smoke from my gun-three hun
dred yards away? That gun sure
must have sent up a smudge!"
"By the time I came out of the
cut was closer-not over a hum

"How long after the shot was
that?"
IT'D say about five seconds"
"What'll you take for the horse?"
"Huh?"
IF that horse went 200 yards and
climbed out of draw in five Sec

"Well, maybe it was ten or fifteen

"And what did you say I had

said Wheeler. "Kid Bender made a
surprise draw; I grabbed his bit
and raised his horse up to make
him miss. But it was his own gun
going off that made his horse 60

ready in case he took another shot
at me; but didn't fire, then or any
time"
"What was the idea resisting an
officer in the first placer" Shafer
said.
'The only thing I resisted was

"You move what?" Shafer de-

Burglar; Dog Poisoner Shifts to Arlington
Senator King Finds:
D. c. Needs New Jail
@~x w%M x~x w>~
Receiving Home Repairs
Also Held Paramount

Chairman King (D0,- Utah, of
the Senate District Committee
thinks conditions in District vel
fare institutions have improved,
but a new Jail is necessary.
Following a tour yesterday of
six institutions, he said the Jail
and the Receiving Home needed
improvement more than others. In
general, he said, the institutions
were in good shape" while
marked improvement has been
shown in several, especially the
National Training School for Girls.
URGES SEGREGATION
The Senator, who last week ad
vised that the full $18,150,O00 bor-
rowing limit for the District by
the Public Works Administration
not be spent, refused comment
when asked whether or not he
thought a new Jail would be built
with PWA help.
The jail, he said, should provide
segregation of juvenile offenders
from older men, and segregation by
degree and frequency of offense.
Criminal courts, he said, should
remain in session during the sum-
mer months in order to clear up
the cases of those awaiting trial.
CRITICIZES DELAY
"To allow these people to Ian
guish in Jail several months with
out trial." he said, "and for
them to be thrown in contact
with chronic offenders, is a
manifest injustice"
He said he would discuss i'm
provement of conditions at the Re
ceiving Home later with the Com
missioners.
He planned a tour Of schools and
hospitals before leaving on a three
week trip to Utah.

Expert Sees Creation
of "City-States"

Taxation by States and cities of

was suggested as offering "equit-
able reciprocity" today by John N.
Sebrell, city attorney of Norfolk,
before the Institute of Municipal
Law Officers at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Presenting the report of the
committee on taxation, Sebrell
warned that the Federal Govern
ment was encroaching more and
more heavily on State and local
property and income which has
heretofore been exempt from Fed
eral taxation. lax.
THREE NEW STATES r
Barnet Hodes, Chicago corpora
ton counsel and president Of the
institute, said the demand of cities
for protection from unfair State
governments may result in their
seeking independence through
statehood. At least three new
States, he said, appeared possible
those of New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia.
The delegates planned to tour
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion this afternoon, and later will
attend the symposium on Munich
pal and Government Corporations
at George Washington University.
EVERY STEP"
1T seems" Sebrell reported,
"that the Federal Government
is going to take every possible
step to tax all State and mu-
nicipal employees, bonds and
properties and the income of
cities from their public utilities
operations. If the Federal Gov.
ernment is willing to permit
State and local taxation of
property of the Federal Govern
ment within the local areas,
then some equitable reciprocity
may be worked out on such a
basis"
He pointed out, specifically, a
recent Supreme Court decision
that income of employees of the
Port of New York Authority was
subject to Federal taxation. and
a suggestion by President Roose-
velt that the income of State and
municipal issues in the future be
subject to Federal taxation.
