CLEVELAND, Sept. 1. P) Of all
the thrllla of the national air races,
probably none gives the spectators
such a breath-taking anxiety as tne
daring leaps of the parachute
Jumpers.
Though many of the world's great
est filers make their planes do tricks
that even blrda can't equal, lt'a the
boys who Jump out who give the
crowds their greatest "kick."
And of all the Jumpers, none have
made the air race crowds gasp like
H. E. (Spud) Manning, who plunges
two miles downward in a deatn- de
fying leap before he opens his para-
chute.
Manning waa In fine form yester
day and leaped from an autogyro at
11.000 feet, with a bag of flour grasp
ed In his arms. Gathering velocity
each fraction of a second, he shot
toward the ground, marking his
progress by releasing a trail pi flour,
Rolling over and over in tne air,
Manning dropped to within 800 feet
of the ground before he pulled the
cord which opened the umbrella-use
fabric above his head. He landed
unharmed, while thousands of spec
tators arose and cheered. . ,

Former Member of Wilson
Cabinet Carried Into Poli
tical Comeback by Demo
crat Wave of Popularity
By Pearce Daries.
(Associated Preea Staff Writer.)
SAM FRANCISCO, Sept. I. (JP)
William Olbbs McAdoo, member of
the Woodrow Wilson cabinet, now
carried on the wave of a political
comeback, will contest November's
general election with young Tallant
Tubbs, San Francisco rope manufac
turer, for the senate seat now held
by Samuel M. Shortrldge.
The Associated Press tabulation of
unofficial returna from Tuesday's
primary closed today, with only 338
precincts unrecorded of the state's
10,531. The figures Indicated def
initely the nomination of Tubbs, Re
publican, and McAdoo, Democrat, and
the defeat of Shortrldge, Republican,
for 13 yean California's Junior sen
ator.
Well over half of the state'a 3,5.-
000 registered voters participated In
the primary.
Incumbent congressmen seeking re-
nomination won, with one exception,
and that fight was close. California
this year electa 30 congressmen In
place of the 11 now serving, due to
reapportionment.
In the ninth district unofficial re
turns gave Glenn M. DeVore only 11
votes more than H. E. Barbour, In
cumbent. The totals were 10,339 and
10,336. Absent voters' ballots to be
counted September 6 may determine
the outcome. Only one precinct
635 was missing In the unofficial re
turns. The fight for the senatorial nom
inations found the Republican vote
split four ways, not counting the
trailing fifth candidate, while Mo
Adoo had but one formidable rival.
Here Is the situation at a glance:

The new grade was run through

and the fills were left to settle, traf
flo continuing until now on the old
alignment, one of the most winding
and dangerous pieces of pavement left
on the Pacific highway and one
doubly menacing when pavement .'s

Now the fills had had their natu

to cut through the present pavement
where It crosses the new grade on its
dirt bridge, and use the material thua
excavated to build up the fills beyond
to their proper levela, laying the
pavement in a direct line through
from Green creek to the county line,

Belden said after the parade that
due to the fact that a number of

fitting that the squad invade Med

An editorial In the Mall Tribune
lauding the Cavemen some time ago
was quoted by the organization's
leader as giving rise to the .hope that
eventually the Cavemen may repre
sent the entire southern Oregon area.
"In fact," said Belden, "we feel that
we should enable the whole region to

Cavemen may be able to secure from

BISHOP, Cal., Aug. 31
California always did have on
custom that they took aerioug,
but it amused the rest of th
U. S. That wag in calling every
thing a "ranch." Everything
big enough to spread a double
mnttrefii on is called a
"ranch."
Well, up here in these moun
tains where there is lots of fish
ing, why every house yon pass
they sell fishing worms and it's
called a "worm" ranch. Well,
I always did want to own a
"ranch," so I am in the market
for a good worm ranch. I never
was so hot as a cowboy, but I .
believe I would make a good
"worm herder."
If I can land our presidents
as clients, I could make It sound
like England when they sell to
the king "Rogers' worm
ranch, purveyor to his excel
lency, the president."
