Graphite Aids Airmen By Times Special ¶ NEW YORK March 31.—When Army airmen from an eastern airfield join the Caterpillar club by leaping from disabled planes with parachutes, they are aided by a strange new use of graphite. ¶ To prevent the formation of static electricity from friction, as the folds of silk rub together in opening, graphite is sprinkled in the pack. Besides being an excellent conductor, it forms a lubricant which allows the silk to slide along with a minimum of friction. ¶ The theory that caused the adoption of this precautionary measure is that static electricity might hold the silk folds together, preventing the parachute from opening in an emergency. Leaps to Safety Bu United Prrss WARREN, O., March 31.—Harry A. Seivers, Cleveland airmail pilot, leaped to safety with his parachute

5 DROWN AS PLEASURE BOAT SINKSINCRASH Score or More Persons Are Injured in Tragedy on Northwest Coast. By United Press ST. HELENS. Ore., March 31 The once glittering pleasure barge Swan lay shattered here today. Investigation of her ramming by the lumber steamer Davenport, at a cost of at least five lives, was being launched. A score or more were injured. In the darkness that enveloped the Columbia river early Sunday, her 286 passengers homeward bound from the festive celebration of the Longview bridge dedication —were tossed about like straws by the terrific crash. Sjuddenness and force of the impact turned the two-deck dance barge into pandemonium and pitched many persons into the cold waters of the river. The tug Dix, which propelled the Swan, and furnished it with electricity, sank a few moments after the barge was struck. The Swan was thrown into darkness and scenes of wildest confusion prevailed as cries of the dying mingled with those of the injured. Captain Belland, owner of the barge, plunged into the river after the crash and saved several persons. Some time later he learned his 13-year-old son was in the engine room of the Dix, when the tug sank almost immediately after the impact. The lad’s desire to watch the engines had sent him to his death. The prow of the Davenport cut a sixteen-foot gash through both decks of the Swan. Members of the Seventh infantry band of Vancouver barracks were playing a waltz when the crash occurred. MINE CHIEF KIDNAPED Returns Home With Story of Being Abducted, Doped, Robbed.
