By the Associafed Press | MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. May 20— Jean Du Rand, 19, Minneapolis. yester- day made a parachute jump from a speeding plane at a height of more | than 18700 feet over the Robbinsdale. | Minn., Airport. Her baekers claim this is a new world record for women. Gene Shank of Minne*polis, piloted the plane, said his altimeter | froze at 18,700 fect and that he be- lieved he had climbed between 500 and | 700 feet higher when she jumped. The | exact height will be ascertained through inspection of a Government barograph placed on the plane just before the trip by representatives of the National | Aeronautic Association, Shank said. A year ago Miss;Du Rand made a leap of 18,000 feet, and two weeks ago | she jumped 11,000 feet at Robbinsdale. Until she bettered her previous mark today, Miss Du Rand's jump of a year ago was considered to be a record Shank asserted today that reports that a German woman had jumped 21,000 feet were untrue.

Microscopic examination of dental work was being | g':de by Prof. A. G. Prather of.the iversity of Squthern California. | All attempts.of the sheriff’s investi- | gators to account for the torso had failed, when the head disclosed new | clues on which.to base efforts toward | identification. . The county physician | sald the head was that of a woman | of 40 or more years of age, with blond | or gray hair. He declared that the vertebrae re- | maining with the head matched per- | fectly with the vertebrae of the torso.
