When the question came up more than_a month ago, Dr. Fowler's pro- posed amendments were so phr as to require glass refrigerator cases for the keeping of meats, fowl and certain other commodities while on dispmy. This was strongly opposed by the dealers as invelving an un- necessary expense, and they contend- ed it was not possible to keep a re- frigerator display case at the proper temperature, since it must be opened every few minutes to .serve a cus- tomer. When the question' of handling food came up the dealers called at- tention to the apparent desire of housewives to determirie for them- selves_ the tenderness of meat before buying it, and they contended it would be a difficult task to prevent woman shoppers from following that practice. o Bulgars to Study German Art.

I had just come off duty—I was detailed to one of the engines— and had gone to bed about 20 minutes before the first erratic motion of the ship that told that something was wrong.

And | somehow a premonition was conv to my uncondcious mind and I awoke. 1 suppose all of us who play and work in the air are always unconsciously prepured for crises. Before my eye tlickered open I knew the ship wasn't riding right. We had had a little engine trouble on the trip before that fatal one. And I thought that there must once more be trouble with the engine I'was de- tailed to. I knew that if that were true, it would take two men to do the job. So I decided to join “Red” Cole- man, who was relleving me in the gondola. He was standing at the time on the ladder leading up to the ship from the gondola. I spoke to him from the keel. He sald: “The radiator has sprung a-leak. 1_need spme water. Go and get a bucket and get some water.” Just then the ship did some unusual | maneuvers. Very unusual. It nosed down at an angle of 47 degrees—maybe | more. I had never before known it to do that, no matter how serious the a |/ weather conditions. .

It didnt slow up’the speed ship, which was shooting toward earth with terrifying speed. It seemed to be going 60 miles a minute. But maybe it wasn't. Maybe the speed seemed exaggerated, because we Knew that every second was rushing us to the earth and death. “Well, we're gone!” 1 remember saving that to “Red.” nd he said, “Maybe- mot—maybe we'll _get chance to get out of here.” 1t occurred to me to jump. But I thought that the forward end of the ship would hit first and slow up the speed of our end. You can think pretty fast at such a time. And 1 finally decided to jump when we came nearer, the earth. I thought I would get hurt but that I might escape alive. You know, they say you get all kinds of visions when you think you are going to die. Perhaps I'm not human—or something. But my sins didn't come before me. And I some- how didn't get excited. In fact, T don’t think I felt much of anything. I might almost say that I was apa: thetic—indifferent. Perhapn, it: was I wag se sure that we didn’t have a chance. Perhaps that was why I de- cided that I might as well jump—dive to death alone—as crash with the others in the ship. Dodges Sky Monster. That s what T did. T jumped.
