There were several of these light patches om the fog, visible only when looking away -ffom the moon, and-I knew _ to be towns bordering May- “At no time, However, was I alile to focate the exact position of the field, although I understand that’the searchlights were directed ra and ‘two barrels of gasoline burned » in-an endeavor to attract my atten- ytion. Several times ‘I descended to the top of the fog, which was 800 to 900 feet high, according to my alti- meter.,The sky above was cleer with the exception of scattered clouds ¢ 8nd the moon and stars were pies | bright.

This time the flare functioned but poly to il- luminate the top of a solid bank of fog, into which it soon disappeared without showing any trace of the round. : Seven minutes’ gasoline remained in the gravity tank. Seeing the glow’ of a town throngh the ‘fog I turned towards the open country and nosed the plane up. At 6000 feet the engine sguttered and died. I stepped up on} \ the cowling ‘and out over the right side of the’ cockpit, pulling the rip cord after about a 100-foot fall. The parachute, an Irving tt service type, functioned perf. . wai ifalling ‘head downward when risers jerked me into ‘an | upright ition and the ’chute opened.

The ship pussed com? pletely out of sight, but reappeared! again’ in a few séconds, its rate of descent being ‘about the same as that ‘ I counted five jittle further away |] before reaching the top oi the fog bank.

The ‘occupants ‘asked “whether I had heard ‘an ai ine crash and it required ime to explain to them that I jiloting the plane, and yet arching for it myself. I had ‘the parachute as evidence were thoroughly con- winced. ‘The, farmer was ure, as were most others ina 3-mile radius, that the ship fiad just missed his. house and crashed nearby. In fact, ‘hé ‘could locate within a few rods the spot where he heard it hit the ground, and we spent an unsuccess- ful quarter hour hunting for the ck in that vicinity before going the farmhouse to arrange for ua hing party and telephone St. Louis and Chicago.

ELTINGE THEATRE Uproarious comedy with a strong flavor of: melodtama, blemded with a touch of pathos anda keen sense of, huinan. psychology, these are the in- gredients that die Cantor has used in the creation of “Special De- livery,” at the Eltinge today and Sat- urday. _ 4 Funnier than the stage play was his’ screen version of “Kid Boots” but funnier still is his “Special De- livery” with its romance and experi- ences of a rookie postman. Cantor is just naturally funny anyhow, Give him such a role as Eddie, the letter carrier, and-then let him work out his own ideas, and he is a riot. The interesting thing about him, though, is the fact that yeu always find yoarselt laughing with and not at a : That is essentially Cantor. No matter how funny he he always enlists your sympathy for the char- acter he portrays. From the very moment that you first see him as the misf& mail clerk you can’t help feeling a bit sorry: for him while at the. same time you can't help laughing at the situations ~ and predicaments: he gets: intoy and he | gets into plenty. : PHONE 611 © duction. which will ave a two day.| departmen SUPPLIES 10 2 comn Iso will r way impr Highway Body Today May!
