(BY DAN THOMAS) Angeles, dangerous, nerve-trying stunt. to Richard Grace, formerly of Bis- marck, N, it_ was only the latest in a long succession of hazardous enterprises. He risked his neck so often—in fact, he broke it once— that a mere 2,000-mile flight over the ocean couldn’t daunt him, Grace is 29. Ever since “> was 16 he has earned his living by risking his life. For 16 years he has prac- ticall lived in the air He has been a “stunt flyer” of the most reck- less variety. In 1915, while making a ‘forced vee Grace learned that he could ats gliding: plane on the ground about where he chose. Since then he has crashed 22 planes, 14 of them deliberately, Done for the Movies Most of this has been done for the movies. The Hollywood studios have ‘known Grace as the one aviator for whom too risky a job could not be found. He would, literally, do any- thing. The climax of his long succession of escapades came last fall. Grace had a part in the war movie, “Win, He crashed a ‘plane from a height of 2,000 feet—and broke his neck. That, at least, was the first report. A more thorough examina- ton disclosed that he had merely dislocated two vertebrae. He was given expert attention, recovered and went on to do some more stunts. His career as a stunt man in the movies took him into more hazardous situations—and out of them—than he can count. For a time he doubled for Tom Mix, performing the danger- ous maneuvers that are not permit- ted to a high-priced star. Once he was ealled on to change from one plane to another, high above the ground, Wrecks Automobiles At times, demand for air stunts being low, Grace has taken to other forms of daredeviltry to earn his living. Four different times, per- forming for the ‘movies, he wrecked automobiles while traveling at a high rate of speed. Each time he escaped with a whole skin, somewhat to the surprise of the men who were focussing the cameras on him. Grace ‘realized full well that he had taken his life in his hands in situations where it seemed like an incredibly foolish venture. His many escapes gave him a confidence in his own luck that could not be shaken. Is Confident “If anyone can make the jump from the Pawaiians to America, I can,” he said just before he sailed for Hono- lulu. “I seem to have some sort of a go@d luck charm—or else I would have been killed long ago, Anyway, I am confident that I can make the hop. And if the ship comes down: well, I am a pretty good swimmer. Other aviators on the west coast have long known Grace as a highly skilled aviator, and’ when he left they ‘shared his confidence that he would succeed. He is officially credited with more than 5,000 hours of flying, and his planes have seldom come down except when he wanted them to do so, §..D. WOMAN: SAVED SWANS FROM WOLVES, Mrs. Myra K.
