FORCED JUMPS IN AIR FEWER, REPORT SHOWS 50 Per Cent ‘Slump’ Revealed in Comparison of 1930-31 Figures. JBu Scrippa-ffoicnrd b’eicspaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, July 10.—Either flying Is getter safer, or else fewer people are wearing parachutes w'ith which to jump out of airplanes. Because, In the first six months of this year, there were thirty-one less emergency parachute jumps than in the first half of 1930. Last year (first half) sixty-five persons saved their lives by abandoning their disabled planes in midair, and coming down in their silken parachutes. This year (first half) the number was only thirty-four. “It is gratifying to note,” says the Army Air Corps News Letter, “that so far this year there has been a terrible slump in Caterpillar Club, Common.” At present no figures are available as to the total flying time for this year, so that it is difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to the cause for the much-wished-for slump. However, as far as military aviation is concerned, more flying was done the first half of this year than the year before, and the same probably is true of commercial aviation. So it would seem that flying is growing safer. There are now 371 members of the famous mythical Caterpillar Club, and those members have made 386 jumps, fifteen being repeaters. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh is still "monarch” of the Caterpillars, with four jumps. There are no third degree members. Lieutenant Eugene Barksdale of the army having been killed several years ago on his third forced Jump. Second degree members are Captain Frank O’D. Hunter, Lieutenant Arthur R. Kmgham, Lieutenant James T. Hutchinson and Sergeant Fred P. Miller of the air corps, and Verne E. Treat, Harry Slevers, Ernest E Dryer, James Rutledge, A1 Wilson and Samuel J Samson, civilian pilots.

Hello, Buddy Befriends War-Time Pal; So Doing He Loses His Wife.

CHICAGO, July 10.—Bill Hassett and Tom Mahoney served in the World war together. After the war Hassett became a motion picture operator, prospered, and often tried vainly to get in touch with his “buddy.” Recently he saw on thq street a ragged panhandler, begging dimes. It was Mahoney. "My pal,” Hassett shouted. "Come home with me. What’s mine is yours. You’ll live with me until you get on your feet again.” So Mahoney went to live with Hassett. They played checkers in the evenings and when Hassett worked at night, Mahoney played checkers with Mrs. Hassett. Mahoney received free his food, clothing and lodging—and $2 a week for spending money besides. But one night Hassett came home from work and found himself locked out of his own home. Hassett said today he intends to sue for divorce, naming Mahoney, as co-respondent.
