HUMOR LURKS AMID DANGER FOR AIR ACES Navy Parachute Jumping Champion Tells How He -Fooled Cops. rolTOß i?ha?. OT thr H thme Sf AlvJ’J danger. , T *} a *L? Navy’s parachuteJumpi'n^ I "Death * thls per * iopslly written article. BY ALVA F. STARR Chief Vetty Officer, U. 8- N. The Navy’s Champion Parachute Jumper. T For NFA Service Parachute jumping usually a grim determined flirtation with death, like anything else, has its lighter m Thelunniest landing I ever experienced was at Bayonne. N. ' yean, a B o. Cr

my ’chute over the city as I descended and the chief of police and his squad were running helter - skelter beneath me. There were high tension wires, railroad trains and other dangerous . sites below me and I honestly did not kqpw how I was going to make out.

Starr

Suddenly I veered and fell, just missing the roof of a five-story business building. The silk of my ’chute caught on the roof corner, however, and there I was left dangling just high enough off a protruding fire escape to prevent my release. T was literally a prisoner in midair. Police Arrived Around the corner and down an alley came the irate police chief. He was puffing and panting and expecting any moment to come upon my crumpled and bleeding body, I guess. He gazed around for a moment until I yelled and looking up, he spied me. I had lit a cigaret and was calmly blowing smoke out of my nose. “Well, I’ll be a 1” he roared. “C’mon down out of there! What d’ye mean tying up trafllc and giving us a wild goose chase all over town? Here we’ve been expecting to find your dead body and there you grin with a cigaret your face. Come down, you’re under arrest!” The emotional let-down of the good officer got the better of him. He was actually miffed at finding me alive when he expected to see a blinking corpse dashed to death on the concrete or strung up on the high tension wires. He laughed about it afterwards and we parted good friends. That was the only time I was arrested for not killing myself. Once Hit Haystack I have landed on nearly everything landable from moving box cars to flivvers. My softest landing was on top of a nice big hay stack and another comfortable spot I picked out was a big snow bank at Lake Placid, N. Y. The chief things we are afraid of are high-tension wires and third rails. Outside of that, the failure of the human element itself is the biggest danger in parachute jumping today. Ma!ny an intelligent student will stand out on a wing tip after ten solid weeks of careful grooming and, overcome with hysteria, will forget everything and jump blindly. It takes a lot to conquer those nerves. People in time will come to look upon parachutes with less awe and more of the affection they bestow on life preservers. Aviation is coming to that. The ’chutes we use these days are themselves absolutely infallible as far as opening goes. And above all, don’t consider or call us “daredevils* 'They are reckless, careless fellows who do the game more harm than good. That is what fools a lot of people. The average man in the street who is intelligent, level-headed, and has the ability to follow orders and concentrate, is my choice for a cracketjack ’chute jumper any day in the week. fSifiSßßai

A man cannot be compelled to support his “in-laws,” according to a ruling handed down by County Judge Edmund K. Jarecki, denying a petition of George White, 69, seeking support from his daughter, Mrs. Evelyn Yardley.

IS DRY LAW SACRED? Not So It Can’t Be Discussed, Bruce Says. Bu United Press UNIVERSITY, Va., Aug. 19.—Senator Bruce, Dem., Maryland, believes citizens may question the “expediency” of the eighteenth amendment without being subjected “to the reproafh of nullification.” Speaking last night before the University of Virginia’s Institute of Public Affairs, Bruce declared “it is mere political claptrap” to hold such a theory. Adding: “There is no particular odor of sanctity, so far as I can detect, about the eighteenth amendment; only the strong, rank smell of illicit abuses bred by a largely unselflish, but altogether fatuous, effort to make another man of man.” Bruce, however, declared that the dry law should be enforced while on the s'. tutes.
