SIPS FOR SUPPER
By Dan tjpjoha
We are advised that Carlle Logan.

nal, contemplates trying to break
an altitude record Sunday from the
local field. 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

toothpick when he lands and ab

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

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
