He also took the . Precaution of having an automatic cord which was atached to his parachute and to the airplane which opened the huge silk bag. It was lucky he made this arrangement as he swooned after the leap, and was unconscious for 28 min- utes, until after the parachute had reached the ground. - Graham McNamee, the Nati nal Broadcasting Co. ace, tells of this great feat and of other thrills in the day's news.

The early construction of the junior high school was requested in a resolu- man of the school committee, who pointed out that school officials are asking the appropriation of $200.000 to begin’ construction on the building in 1932. The resolution also, reiterates the association’s desire to co-operate with the school authorities in forming the nucleus of a junior high school in the graded schooly of the community. ‘The association indorsed the bill pro- viding for the transportation of school children at a reduced rate of fare, and also gave its backing to the McLeod bill to control the possession, sale and transf { dangerous weapons in the District. Opposition was recorded to a proposed small loan law permitting an interest charge of 3!, per cent per month on the unpaid balance of loans of $300 or less.

Tt happened in a garage in a small Virginia town, but it could have happened anywhere in the eleven states in which AMOCO-GASs is sold. A motorist stopped at a pump that happened to be dry. There were three other gases available, but the garage-man suggested AMOCO-GAS. “No, it costs too much,” said the motorist. “It will save you money in the end and make your car run better than it knows how,” said the garage-man. “Save me money how?” “More miles to the gallon and by keeping your car out of the shop. I know half-a-dozen cars around here that have gone over 25,000 miles on AMOCO and never had the head off. Aad when you get on 2 hill - - why, she’ll go over the top so fast you'll think you've stolen the car.” “Go om,” said the motorist, "I've heard that s fore.
