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. Williams of New York
told the section on nervous diseases
of the American Medical Association
here today. Papers read before
the section indicated progress in the
diagnosis and treatment of nervous
conditions. The effects of wood alcohol
on the nervous system was provided
by I)r. A. L. Skoog of Kansas
City, who described methods for determining
whether the poison had
passed into the spinal fluid.
Dr. Williams also outlined efforts
of the National Committee on Men
tal Hygiene to determine the amount
of feeblemindedness in the country
at present .and to work up a comprehensive
community program for the
care of mentally defective ehildre i
.Anesthetics were known and used by
the Chinese thousands of years ago. i

Radio is Godsend to Blind
Springfield, II ? 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.

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.

Study of Chemistry
Given Impetus
Washington, May 25.?American
chemists expect the study of the
chemistry of colloids as distinguished
from the chemistry of substances?
will be given a marked impetus by the
impending arrival in the United
States of Prof. Theo Swedberg of the
university of Upsala, a leading Euro
pean authority on the subject. 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. A committee
appointed by Camden City Council
has decided that a shrine shall be

where the 'good gray poet" passed
the later years of his life and where
he died March 26, 1892.

TIME TO REPAIR? "
The best time to make repairs on any farm machine is
just before it breaks down. When you see a part getting
pretty thin, don't wait for it to break?order a new
part at once, and even if you do not put it on immediately,
it will be cheap insurance against expensive delay.
