NOVICES ‘DONT TRY He’s Reached Top of His Profession, but Only Through Great Care. Far be it from Harry H. Gardiner, who has climbed to the top of his pro- fession, to advise any youngsters to follow in his footsteps. Most of Gardiner's footsteps have led up the outside of skyscrapers, along a pathway fraught with pitfalls for the novice, Not that Gardiner himself is im- &. by the peril. He simply feels t 37 years of experience spells safety in a vocation that offers no apprentice- p. Since Gardiner first was called “the human fly,” when he sceled the Flat- iron Building in New York in the $0s after signing off as a professional para- | chute jumper, some 120 men have tum- bled to their death in similar efforts. Not Daunted by Toll. ‘This toll has failed to daunt him, however, and in his fifty-ninth year he looks toward loftier triumphs. “When taller skyscrapers are scaled, Gardiner will scale them,” or words to that effect. The “human fly” is here to mount and descend the K street face of the| new Ambassador Hotel on Fourteenth street. He will start up, fair weather or foul, at 3 p.m. Sunday. ‘The stunt is being put on for the benefit of the Vincent B. Costello post of the American Legion. It probably | will require 30 minutes. Meanwhile, a band concert will be rendered for the further entertainment of the crowd. Gardiner said the Ambassador build- ing can be climbed in any weather ‘This is not the case with all buildings. Laid Up With Fractures. Once in Columbis, &. Gardiner started up the State Capitol in the rain rather than disappoint a huge throng. He won to the copper coping, found n greasy from moisture, but decided to take his first deliberate chance. The result was he shot downward to a slate roof below, a fall which laid him up for three months with fractured ribs. This was_his only tumble in 2,000 exhibition climbs, although each build- ing is a new ploblem in itself and re- quires a different solution. One of the man’s most remarkable features are his fingers. The three fore fingers are at least an inch and a half longer than the little finger and heavily muscled. These fingers are Gardiner's safety insurance. He keeps them soft and sensitive by rubbing them Wfl.h pumice. In cllmbln' they are his “eyes and ears,” giving instant warning of a dangerous hold and finding secure lodgm!nt almost instinctively. “One mistake is all you can make in this profession,” grinned Gardiner. HUMAN FLY WARNS, THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMLER 15, 1929, Accompanied by Wife, 75. Trip of Adventist Official to Complete 500,000 Miles’ Travel. Rev. Arthur G. Daniells, secretary of the Ministerial Association of Seventh Day Adventists and for 21 years presi- dent of the General Conference of that church here, salled from New York to- day with Mrs. Daniells for Rio de Ja- neiro on a tour of South America in the interest of missionary work. Rev. Daniells, an author, evangelist and missionary, will have traveled 500, 000 miles on completion of his latest trip and visited every continent on the globe during his 50-year service with the church. Mrs. Daniells still acecom- panies him on his travels, although she will be 75 years old on the day the ship is scheduled to arrive at the South American port. Travels Are Extensive. During the course of their travels the couple have crossed Australia, New Zea- land, the Fiji Islands and other coun- | tries covered with jungle and inhabited by_canniba Rev. Daniells will participate in a serfes of 10 ministerial institutes while on his tour of South America. Rev. Daniells, one of the founders of the Wnshlngkun Missionary College, at ‘Takoma Park, is an advocate of re- ligious liberty and believes in the com- plete separaton of church and_state. He was active in the fight on Sunday “blue laws” in this country, and it was largely through his efforts that the Re- ligious Liberty Association of Seventh Day Adventists was formed. Organigation Doing Much. In the opinion of Rev. Daniells, this organization is doing much to maintain the right of Americans to observe Sun- day as a day of rest and free them from the shackles of “blue laws.” Rev. Daniells is an organizer of note and has established schoals, associa- tions and other chureh agencies in many communities over the world. Daniells will travel some 25,000 miles in six months, returning to this country in May to attend the General Confer- ence, at San Francisco, May 20 to June 14, Reject Election Move.

The building also covers a part of historic Newspa rer Row.” Pointing out that the National Press Building is the largest non-governmental bullding in Washington, Representative Ludlow said that it symbolizes the power of the press, which also “is, out- side of the Government, the most potent institution in America devoted to the rights of man. ‘Without the press,” he asserted, “Government itself in our re- public would be unstable and insecure.” Mr. Ludlow was president of the Na- tional Press Club when the building was finished in 1927 and when, acting for the club, he took over the build- ing from John Hays Hammond, chair- man of the bullding corporation. He sald in his address that 37 years as a newspaper man has convinced him that “the security of the Nation is not in the office holders who make its laws and administer its affairs, but in the press, which keeps watch over the ofliu holders.” rown traced the development of r_carrespondence in Washing.
