In a little less than 22 hours the balloon had drifted from its launching site at New Brighton near St. Paul some 135 miles to the south. And while it proved few things, it didn't give the Air Force a chance to get a closer look at the probable reactions of a man parachuting from 90,000 feet.

Two systems designed to cut loose the "dummy and gondola failed to work. First a remote control device didn't operate and then an automatic timeclock fizzled. The test was conducted by the Air Force and General Mills, builder of the Gondola and balloon, to gather information for an actual parachute drop later this summer. Everett Beson, General Mills project engineer, said it hasn't been decided yet whether attempt will be made to drop MINNEAPOLIS, May 8 WV-The rise and fall of "Sad Sefn," a dummy parachutist who fell victim to a quirk of the pushbutton age, left the Air Force with still unanswered questions about leaps from the stratosphere. "Sad Sam" and the balloon and gondola which carried him to a height of 90,000 feat for a test bailout which never came off returned to earth on a farm 15 miles west of Cresco, Iowa.

It was a bruising comedown for the steel and rubber dummy, who was torn from the gondola as it dragged across a meadow on the Sam Jordan farm. The 275-foot plastic bag was moored when the gondola wedged in the crutch of an oak tree.

Best of all, designers havft been ingenious in adapting these stripes to flattering lines. For your cotton sheers you are likely, and lucky, to choose a Sanforized muslin done in a medley of garden flower prints.

In these florals, many show the influence of the silk type designing. Some look like they are etched on the fabric by a fine artistic hand, while others are printed in bold poster-style. Some of the Powder Puff muslins are done in darker shades too, to be used as transitional cottons and worn right through the hot summer days into October. These are color flecked paisleys or tie silk and challis prints. FASHION'S MOOD IS ROMANTIC Sanforized broadcloths and poplins are ever popular.

Each year the colors and prints reflect fashion's newest mood. This season the trend is to the romantic it's the Fair Lady influence. Sheaths have been liberated, hem lines lengthened. The smooth, sleek silhouette is replaced with more feminine contours, achieved through softer fabrics and their manipulation in tucks, folds, pleats. Earty Pick a handful or cottons early this season and you'll look as pretty and fresh as a garden bouquet all through the summer! There's a cotton suited to every mood, every occasion and every figure.

Most of them are budget-wise too! Both in the initial cost and in the cost of the upkeep. When you buy your cottons, keep one eye on that upkeep angle. If a dress has lots of frills, be sure they are frills that take care of themselves such as nylon lace ruffles that don't need tedious ironing. Be sure to look for the Sanforized label. Many of your cottons you will want to put in the weekly family wash.

This label means whether you hand wash or machine wash, the garment will not shrink out of fit. XOSGAY OF COTTONS In your bouquet of cottons you will want to choose a pin check in one of the pretty pastel shades. Lilac is' fashion's favorite of course. You won't be able to avoid getting a striped cotton dress either! But they are well bred stripes this year rather than bold flaunting stripes. Take your choice of printed stripes, woven stripes, satin stripes woven over gingham, and dobby stripes of woven florals and edged in gold.
