We understand Carlle nope to beat 15,000 feet, and wUl wear a heavy flannel shirt, a heavy weight sweater, and a leather flying Jacket as we& To one of Carl's dimensions this padding may be enough to alleviate the jolt a man might get by drop ping from' the peak of a 15,000 feet flight. If we had to substitute for Carlle, however, we would add to our equipment a pair of large over stuffed mattresses, one over our lembar region at the rear and the other over our supper region in front. If we were called upon to make a possible unexpected descent from a distance ol i&.ooo feet at tne rate oi six miles a minute or more, we would be loathe to depend upon the shock absorbing possibilities of a heavy flannel shirt, a leather Jacket and even a heavy sweater, regardless of the tact that we might drop In the soft onion loam of Lake Labish. Perhaps Carlie estimates if be must drop 15,000 feet he will drop standing straight up and down and because ol bis general build ana contour stick into the ground like a toothpick when he lands and ab sorb the shock In that manner. If such Is his plan we recommend he slip an extra pair of arch SUP' ports in his shoes to sort of smooth the little jerk with which we know he would stop under such conditions. Personally, If we were In Carlle's place, after we had donned our flan nel shirt, heavy sweater and leather jacket, we would slip on a pair or tennis shoes and start running In the ODDosite direction from the air field as fast as our little footles would carry us. Carl may be inter ested in the osone 15,000 feet nitner- ward. But -as for us we care not how the altl tudes. Regardless of what happens we thing It Inconsiderate of Carl to sDoil our Sunday by .making worry all the time as to wnetner ne will drop onto the soft, yielding blacktop of the Pacific highway or the tougner ana more resistant con. crete of Jefferson way. If he finds out he' must drop on this flight, we hope he makes up his mind to do so before he reaches the full 15.000 feet and start off by dropping at about 11,000 feet this Sunday, 12,000 feet the next and so on, so that by the tune he has to drop the lull 15,000 xeec ne wui become innured to It and be able to take It blandly and as a matter of course. ,.
