Says Good Landing One You Can Walk Away From Commander Rodgers Victim of Wreck In Comparative Safe Location After Passing Through Far Worse Dangers: NEW YORK Sept 6 Eddie Stinson man of nerve professional flyer of vast experience and skill a trifle sardonic by nature once waa asked to give his view upon the difficult business of landing an airplane A group of aviators had been discussing the dangers that face every pilot as his ship nears the earth good said Eddie shortly "ia when you can walk away from it" The phrase haa become part of the philosophy of the air service of the Army and Navy In the air mail and among professional or commercial pilots Eddie Stinson knew what he was talking about He has walked away from landings where unassisted locomotion had seemed impossible He has come twisting down out of storm clouds into small fields hemmed with stone fences The night has had slight terrors for him He was the only pilot among a score or so who maneuvered to a resting place In the tragic Ohio field where a year ago the Shenandoah lay dead Many of the men who have died in airplane accidents were killed because they failed to make landings The average aviator la safe If he Is high in thd air But as his plane begins to circle toward the earth the peril Increases The human equation the chance of a mistake assumes an appalling importance The mistake made a few

in which the Department ofi Justice has handled anti-trust cozes under existing laws Relegated to tk States His disinclination to take up in' Washington propositions which might make business nervous

tunder-atorms Mater-they have rested once more on the ground entirely unconcerned These same men however have in some Instances crashed in a tangle of wreckage after mishaps within 1000 feet of the ground The latest gallant aviator to die in this manner was Commander John Rodgers of the navy the leader of the San Francisco to Hawaii expedition Commander Rodgers had survived a -thousand flights and had Passed through the ordeal of nine days adrift in his seaplane before being able to reach Pearl Harbor And still a malign fate ruled he was to die last week when his plane slipped at a height

Sept (AP) Farmers of Kansas and the agriculture Industry as a whole were told today by Dr William Jardlne secretary 6f agriculture that their difficulties constituted the biggest economic problem before the country and that there would continue to be a farm problem until the purchasing price of the farmer's dollar reaches 100 per cent The secretary of agriculture ad dressed an old faSbloned basket pic nle of tbe local Farmers' Union held In John Drown Memorial Park here and attended by several thousand farmers He explained his opposition to the McNary-Haugen measure which he termed a price fixing bill that would put the government Into business rather than leaving the business In the hands of producers and declared that in larmer-iontrolled cooperative marketing lay the only solution In nis belief of the marketing problem of the farmer Th secretary's statements In regard to co-operative marketing and iua opposition to the proposals of tne original Haugen measure were attacked by Muo Reno president of the Farmers' Union of Iowa time haa come" Mr Reno said the farmer to tell the secretary of agriculture that he ia not there to criticise or dictate to them but carry out the programme' Mr lteno said that representatives of twenty-four organisations had met in lies Moines ana supported tne Haugvn plan Mr Jardlne said ha had tried and to convince himself that the McNary-Haugen plan as presented to the last session of Congress would aid in giving greater returns to agriculture but that it was impossible for him to see where it would benefit the farmer Taking the annual wheat production aa a concrete example Mr Jardlne said that of an average yield 835000000 bushels about 175000000 was exported and the balance of 660-000000 left for domestic consumptions With a price of 1 a bushel the American pries would be $142 according to the McNary-Haugen plan he said This would make the equalization fea 10)1 cents he added and the farmers would pay this on very bushel of wheat other he explained "they would lose 43 cents a buShel on tne amount exported In order to hold up the domestio price- This sounds well but who consumes the 660000000 bushels of wheat annually In this country? It ia conservative to say that farmers consume 412500000 bushels out of the 660- 060000 used annually In tha United States- leave It to you to figure out for yourselves where a law based on those principles would aid in giving greater returns to agriculture" Agriculture has made some recovery since the low points of 1921 when the dollar was worth only 60 cents Dr Jardlne said for tbe commodities today have a purchasing power of 87 per cent TIPTONVILLE IS HOST TO VISITING SHRINEOS trsl Railroad special agents led by Pete McHugh chief special agent at Memphis Graham was taken Into

of the golden jubilee convention of the American Chemical Society Pointing out that some adults sleep a greater number of houra than others Mr Dupont said It seemed likely this was due to some human systems requiring a longer time to work out poisons that accumulate "Would it not seem likely" he said "that the reactions may be hastened by some catalytic agents or even that the antidote Itself may be prepared and administered thereby either decreasing the amount of sleep required or even doing away with' the necessity of sleep Such a discovery he said would add more than 50 per cent to both our

Art Smith who was killed last February when his plane ran into a tree Smith had been flying about as long as any pilot He was one of the first to make exhibition flights in the days when the mere fact that a heavler-than-alr machine waa aloft waa enough to bring people running Smith began his career in 1912 In that same year he staged the first aerial elopement starting out with his fiancee fly to the place where he waa to be married He cracked up however and the ceremony took place In the hoepltaL- Art and hia bride were in adjoining cots All of this took Discs In Michigan A few years later

leg in a flight ana came back to the United States Smith became a stunt aviator as soon aa he was able to fly again In he looped the loop over the city In an illuminated plane He was one of the first
