EIGHT MAJOR SCHRORDER VIOLATES ALL ~ LAWS OF NATURE IN MAKING HIS PHENOMENAL START FOR STARS Intrepid Airman Makes. Tallest Peaks Seem Like Ant Hills— Temperature Registers 67 Degrees Below Zero—Absence of Radiation Cause of Intense Cold From the bottom of the deepest hole in the earth to the top of the tallest mountain is 500 feet further than Major R. W. Schroeder flew above the earth's surface when he broke the world's ultitude record. Mother Earth keeps man well within her grasp. If he Strays too deep be- low her crust she makes it hot for Lim with lava and molten earth, She annihilates him with pressure if he dips more than few feet below /the odean’s surface, and she takes away hiy breath and glazes him with ice it he ventures far above her clouds, Nature mocks man’s efforts to, buiid and his tallest structure is lesd. than a twentieth the Size of highest struc- ture of nature, SCHROEDER DEFIES NATURE But. Major Schroeder can laugh at Nature now. He stretched her apren strings—the pull of gravity—and made her deep seas and her snowy peaks seem smnall. | Here is a comparison of natura! and man-made distances ‘up and down” aud Major Schroeder’s height record.

Bride, in Indo-China. The top of the mountain was .not reached and the climb was made by Duke ‘D'Arbuzzo in 1909. * 67 DEGREES, BELOW ZERO. Major Schroeder found'a tempera- ture. of 67 degress below, zero at hix maximum height. He could have gone tu. the bottom ‘of: the deepest sea. about six miles instead of seven, and it woukl have: been. just a shade lees than ‘29 degress above zero. A But: had he gone to the bottom of | the ocean instead ‘of on, top of the} Goud, he would’ have: had to hear a pressure of six tons’ to the square inch. Compare this with’ 15 pounds to’ the. square inch at sea level, ory about. half thiy when. Schroeder was at his maximum height. t Six “tong “bearing on every inch of | the body: would crush a man to an unrecognizable’ pulp. But scientists can’t ‘understand why a lack of pressure didn’t. pul]. Schroeder to bits in much the same manner. Deep sea fishes brought to the sur- face blow up and burst and Schroeder ran the same chance. At a depth of but a few thousand feet. wells and mines become un- endurably hot. A shaft six miles deep would be at volcano heat. To have vehitured half the distance below the earth’s surface that Schroeder did above it, he would have had to wear asbestos clothing instead of artic furs and blankets, NOTHING TO RADIATE | It was intensely cold above the clouds, not because there was 4 scarcity of sunlight, but because there was nothing to radiate it to Schroeder. Actually a suarter of the sun’s hea‘; is absorbed by the atmosphere before it reaches the earth, but Schroeder was cold because he was accustomed to obtain warmth from the rays 1 flected by the earth to his body. The earth was too far away and. there waxy nothing else to slow up the light waves and make them into heat to warm him. Hud there ‘been no clouds to in- terfere with his view, Schroeder‘ should have seen the earth glowing with 2 white fire, like the moon. He was in the dusk of space and the sun must have ‘been a huge, fiery ball—like a diamond sét in jet, The earth should Hed glowed a little by reflected sun's ght. LIFTING POWER LESS Although Schroeder's weldht,’by the law of Newton, -was slightly less by reason of .his distance from the earth ulul the consequent lessening of the pull of gravity, the density of the ai: and its lifting power grew less much faster. and so he gained no advantage by lessened weight. Every .foot in height le gained at his maximum would have cost: him much, more fuel. and time than 100 or more feet closer to earth. The air didn’t hold him up so well. : Discounting: the~ resistance the air would have offered, had Schroeder jumped from his machine at its maxi- mum height. he would have struck the earth a little more than 10 seconds later. and would have been traveling at the time he struck faster than 16,- 384 feet per second. This is conceiv- able that he might burn to pieces on the way down, as shooting stars do. 40,000 MAY BE THE LIMIT Schroeder's goal of 40,000 feet. probably is the maximum altitude man will reach in present-day airships. They may go a few feet higher, but not many, it is lelieved. The lifting power-of the wings is urowing less rapidly at this height, che air is thinning even more quickly than it does at lower levels and pressure consequently growing much less and making life more nearly im- possible.

The game was the hardest fought pl +ed in this section this season and ulti mate victory, was not decided until the last minute of play. An incipient riot during the middle of the’second half was only. prevented by cooler heads. The fracas, occurre'l when Boise, Bismarck’s center, was declared ‘out ‘of ‘the game for having four personal fouls called on him. A few minutes before, Holta, Bismarck's star performer, had been put out of the game for the game reagon.and was sit- ting on the sidelines. REFEREE IN DANGER ‘When Holta saw Boise ruled out of the ame, he..made a rush for the referee. Immediately the floor swarmed j| with followers of both teams.
