All of the amendments were carri
ed in the recent election. It is to the
credit of Georgia that the amendment
providing for a local school tax car
ried overwhelmingly. It shows that
Georgians realize the need of an im

willing to pay for it.
Instead of deserting his farm, ev
ery farmer must make up his mind to
stand by the land from which he has
gotten bis living and see that his
tenants and laborers do the same, and
go to work another year with the de
termination to plant food crops, and
whip the boil weevil and raise a few
bales of cotton.
Tiler? were farmers in Baldwin
county and adjoning counties who
whipped the boll weevil this year.
What one farmer can do all of them

to think of deserting his farm, but

At four miles above (lie earth the air
was liiting cold.
Circling about for a glimpse of
earth through rifts in tlie cloud floors,

ducted to be Dorr field, nine miles
east of Carlstrom field. Judging tlie
speed of the wind and its effect on
the chute during the drop, Lieut.
Downes moved west some two miles
mil signaled for Lieut. Hamilton to
iump.
The Parachute.
Right here mention might he made
of a circumstance which puts an added
thrill into parachuting at high alti
tudes and lends interest to tlie estab
lishment of a new record. The para
chute used by aviators is folded snug-'
!y inside n pack carried on tlie back.
The operator steps off, allows himself
a couple of seconds to fall clear of
his machine, then pulls a wire depend
ing over his shoulder. This wire opens
ihc spring doors of the pack and re
leases a small pilot chute some couple
"f feet in diameter. This pilot springs
open automatically and catching (lie
rush of nir, draws the main chute from
tin; pack. In the top of the main
chute is an automatic vent which,
opening to a width of five feet when
the bfg parasol first unfolds, gives the
air compivssed within a chance to es
cape and lessens the danger of Mow
ing Ihe chute apart. When the fall
has been cheeked rubber springs or
shock-absorbers in the vent close it in
until but a siur.il hole remains. At
the atmosphere pressure wherein most !
parachute drops from ordinary alti-!
tildes are made the speed attained by j
the operator in his couple of seconds ,
fall is sufficient to create enough pros- !
sure under the pilot chute to cause it
when released to yank tlie big one j
at once from its pack. Usually the op- j
orator is descending at normal sliced
after falling less than 200 feet.
Through Space.
Upon receiving his pilot’s signal,
Hamilton climbed to the edge of tlie j
cockpit, waved. Ids hand and dropped
into space. After tlie usual interval
lie pulled his release cord but instead
of having ids drop Immediately check
ed, he fell a distance which was esti
mated by both him and Lieut. Downes
to be "2,000 fed lief ore his parachute
snapped out and opened with a loud
report. Looking aloft he saw that the
springs which close the vent were
broken. The chute is of a size design
ed to enable a mun to reach the ground
as quickly as Is consistent with safety
in landing and tlie shock upon touch
ing earth is always severe. With the
vent wide open the best Hamilton
could hope for was a few broken
bones.
To add to his dismay he found upon
piercing the lowest layer of clouds
that Oarlstrotn field had been mistaken
for Dorr and that instead of drifting
toward the former he was due to land
in the timber tietween there and th»
town of Arcadia, with good prospects j
"f serious injury to himself. Almost
below him he discerned the outlines j
of Joshua creek and to prevent his |
drifting past this lie devoted all his |
energies. (.’limbing tlie rigging to.
windward he managed to pull tlie edge!
down and created a planing effect j
which held him pretty well into the ,
wind. By the best of luck he dropped j
between tlie overhanging branches on I
either side of the creek and was saved 1
a crash against its bed by the cush- j
toning action of the parachute, which
had became entangled in the liranchefl j
of tlie tree. It took him a quarter of'
an hour to extricate himself from a I
mass of tangled cordage and two hours !
for a searching party to discover him i
none the worse for a somewhat liar-
rowing experience.
