It was | up 22 minutes. 1 When the ship seitled to the field the watchers were amazed to see Miss Billie Brown, 24-year-old parachute jumper, emerge from the cabin, The pilots explained that the girl | stowed away for the purpose of making & parachute ieap, but, as Department | of Commerce rules require the jumper | to wear two ’'chutes and Miss Brown had only one, she could not be per- mitted to jump. Some trouble with the motor in the nose of the big ship could have been | taken care of in the air, the flyers said. Jobless Man Hangs Self.
