Air Pilots Have Thrills Undreamed of Milwaukee, Wis., May 2"?.? vi. pilots whose defiance of death wnile soaring thousands of feet above the t arth has brought them thrills almost undreamed of by persons who keep their feet on the ground, are among those who will man the giant gas bags entered in the national balloon race which stars here May HO and end* whenever and wherever the p 'ot no longer can keep his ship in the air. One of these is Captain John Berr.\ of St. Louis, a pilot whose many yea ft of air work include being s' ;ck by lightning three thousand feet . > >vt the ground and falling to the eadtn without serious injury. Captain Berry, one of the oldcs. o flying pilots and interested in work since shortly after the Ci, :l Vvamodestly tells questioners in... c never had anv real thrills in th<? <?Vv but the story of his miraculous fan is told by G. Y. Morrison, aide to th< captain in the flight which was inter rupted by lightning and who also nil raculously escaped serious injury i i the downward plunge. The flight was in the national balloon race held from Portland, Or.., in 1014. Captain Berry, who wa America's first national champion .. balloon flying by virtue of winning tin first national race, held from Iiuli'. apolis in 1909, took off with Morris m as his aide June 11 and reached ?.m Cascade mountains of Oregon that night. As Morrison tells the story: "The sky above us was beautifully clear, but away off to south and southj east I noticed great banks of .clouds, i 1 did not figure on anything but drifting peacefully over the mountains with the beautiful Wilamette and Columbia rivers beneath us. "About 7 j). m. we saw the balloo.i "Uncle Sam" land a little distance ahead. We promptly dropped ballast to make sure that we would surpass its flight. "The big gas bag shot up until we reached an altitude of 12,000 feet. Then we hit the storm. The balloon twisted and rocked like a living thing. Big black cloude were all we could see on every side; it seemed as if we were hurtling through a black space rhut ofT from the entire world. A cold wind blew snow and rain on us and there was nothing at all reassuring in our position. The crash of I thunder sounded like the booin of a | thousand cannons vijrht in our ea.s. ' "'I don't know anything about ballooning.' I shouted to Captain Berry, * 'but I know we've got to f?et out of jj here.' 4 " 'We've trot to go down,' he shouted 3 hack, 'but I dare not open the gas | valves or they'll catch fire from the lightning.' "Down we went, however, finally being only 3,500 feet up. Suddenly there was a terrific blaze and I ceived an awful shock. Before I coulci move, the big: bap: burst, and top being, torn off by the lightning and draping itself over our basket. What was left checked our descent somewhat, hu1 we were hurtling at what seemed u be terrific speed toward the ground. " 'Throw over everything' sho.itec y the captain and over went ballast | clothes and anything we could get oui hands on. Still we plunged downward, Around us was nothing hut clouds and rain with no ground visible. Lo.il; fingers of lightning seemed to reach in and wrap themselves around us, Suddenly there was a crash as we hit jj a tree. I slid down the trailer ropj | to the ground, which never had Te. I so fine. Later I found Berry in ill I basket unconscious hut not seriously | hurt. I revived him with snow and J released our carrier pigeons with mesi sages. We were rescued by a search I party." y Work of Committee on Mental Hygiene | St. Louis, Mo., May 24.?Specia' | attention is being given by the N"aI tional Committee on Mental Hygiene ' to juvenile delinquency and crime, Dr. Frankwood E.

May 24.?Radio and the broadcasting' of news and concert music through Jie air, was declared here today to be a Godsend to blind persons by Charles E. Comstock, sightless from infancy, who heads the division for thje visitation of adult blind, connected with the State Department of Public Welfare. "The use of radio equipment by blind persons," Mr. Comstock said, "is undoubtedly the greatest blessing an I comfort occurririg in this^era." He de,'ared that this)new invention makes it possible for sightless persons to receive r.ewg daily without having ic read to them; that the state now has paid readers at the School for the Mind at Jacksonville and the Indusi: 1 Home for Ithe Blind in Chicago. "With the installation of radio quipment," Mr. Comstock said, "their services can be dispenser with. And not only can the blind man now ' avc the advantage of current news, i ut he can listen to concerts and lecures. I have already equipped my ' ome with radio and am receiving news directly for a central station in Chicago which makes a specialty of sending out bulletins for blind per sons. For the past several evening;. I have been listening to concerts given in Detroit." Use of radio in the State School ai Jacksonville and the Industrial Home in Chicago, is being contemplated, according to announcement by Judge C. M. Jenkins, director of the state department of public welfare. Contest to Unearth Young Edisons Chicago, 111., May 24.?The school boy who ignores his chum's two lifted fingers when they summon him to the swimming hole, or is deaf to the urgent appeal to "play ball," and hastens to his workshop to bend over vacuum tubes, will be given an opportunity to come into his own, according to plans of a committee in charge of radio contests in connection with the National Radio Exposition to be held here June 2G to July 1. Five contests in making radio devices, the purpose of which is said to be "to unearth young Edisons of wireless," have been announced by the committee; three of them will be for young people, two will be pen to anyone. Contests are open to .csid??nts of any city, but each conLosta it must come in person to Chicago to prove that he made the device he offers. For t.ho crurlp SpltAAl cfn/lnnfo n? Lenine Criticizes Work of Berlin Conference Moscow, May 23.?Nikolai Lenine, the Soviet Premier, has sharply criticized in an article in the Pravda, the concessions made by delegates of the Third Internationale to the non-Communist internationnles in the recent conference at Berlin. The Russian delegates, said Lenine, made a mistake in promising that members of the Socialist Revolutionary party, now imprisoned in Russia and who are to be tried soon for plotting against the life of Lenine and other leaders, would not be sentenced to death. It was also a mistake, he declared to promise that representatives of the non-Communist internationales would be permitted to attend the trials. _ He said there were victories gained by the bourgeoisie over Karl Radek and the Russian Communist delegates at the Berlin conference where the various internationales decided to endeavor to present a united front against capitalism. Nevertheless, I^enine said, this promise, having been made, must be kept. The Russian Communist party, in resolutions adopted at its recent congress, made it exceedingly plain that this attempt at re-approachment with me wiui" i iiiii'iimiiuuuii'n uulmuu in Russia did not mean that he Communists inside were to have any dealings with the opposition socialist parties with'n Russia.

He r will engage in research work with | American scientists this summer at the University of Wisconsin. "Collodial chemistry" has been described as the analytical study of | "bubbles, drops, grains, filaments and i f'.lms," or as the "chemistry of sys| tents consisting of finely divided material in a state of suspension." It has been declared that clothing?from hats to shoes?food, furniture, paper, ink and even the human body are largely colloidal. Great Truth Relating to T. B. Comes out of War St. I-ouis, Mo., May 25.?Now great new truths relating to tuberculosis have come out of the war, SurgeonGeneral Hugh S. Cumniings of the United States Public Health Service said today before the section on preventive medicine of the American Medical Association here. He said I that the care of tuberculous veterans had presented a serious problem for the public health service, as it was felt that the treatment of tuberculosis involved much more than hospital care and vocational training. "The return from war of tuberculous veterans," he said, "has not resulted in increase of tuberculosis among many groups of the civilian population. The incidence of tuberculosis among the veterans has been about that of the pre-war period among the same age groups." Walt Whitman's Home To be Preserved Camden, N. J., May 24.?Walt Whitman's home here is to be preserved for posterity.
