Mr. Fixit—Please help us get some oil in the 400 block West Henry street. We can not keep our doors or windows open because of the dust. MRS. S. This request already is on file In the office of -Street Commisisoner W. H. Winship and will be complied with in turn after previous complants have been remedied, he advised. Mr. Fixit—St. Clair street between Keystone avenue and Beville street is heavily cindered and every time a car passes or the wind blows from the west, the dust is very bad. Oiling would improve the situation wonderfully. MRS. J. G. F. Street Commiusioner W. H.

Also, on the east side of Drexel avenue between Eleventh and Twelfth streets is a vacant lot where the bank has caved in, almost covering the cement walk.

By United Press NEW YORK, July 13.—Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter In soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than hid treasure; Which rejoice exceedingly and are glad when they can find the grave? —(Job 111 ;20-22.) John Tabeek, beset by troubles in a financally troubled world, his wife ill, himself partially blinded, and unable to find work, asked himself that question put by the patient Job of Old Testament days, went to a fashionable mid-town church and as the Rev. Dr. Robert E. Speer was concluding his sermon on the results of world depression, Tabeek lifted a vial of poison to his lips. His legacy, a thoughtfully scribbled note clasped as he collapsed in the pew of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church was in the hands of the family today, with his last message: “To whom it may concern: I am

FUMES PERIL ARMY FLIERS IN HECTIC FLIGHT Pilot Overcome and Aid Sits on Him While He Runs Ship. BY ERNIE PYXE Scrlpps-Howard Aviation Editor WASHINGTON, July 13. Although extensive tests have shown modem airplanes comparatively free from monoxide danger, now and then an accident occurs, sometimes with disastrous results. One of these accidents, this with a happy ending, just has been experienced by two army air corps pilots. The two, from Chanute field, Rantoul, 111., were taking aerial photographs over Chicago at an elevation of 12,000 feet. Lieutenant Phillip D. Coates was at the “stick" and Lieutenant James S. Olive Jr. was working the camera. They were flying in a cabin monoplane, with the pilot sitting in front of the cabin. Suddenly the plane went into a steep dive. Olive left his camera and went forward to see what was wrong. He found Coates’, unconscious body slumped forward on to the control stick, thus, putting the plane in a dive that by now had reached 170 miles an hour. Olive pulled Coates upright in his

seat, and standing behind him. reached around for the control stick and pulled the plane out of the t ;e. But the pilot’s feet were extended and hooked over the rudder bar, and Olive couldn’t get to it. Finally, through almost superhuman efforts, Olive pulled back the pilot's seat and placed Coates in a prone position. Then he straddled the pilot’s prostrate form and flew the plane standing up. After about forty-five minutes Coates was revived and was able to get up out of the pilot’s seat and move back to the cabin, where he became violently ill. Olive flew the
