PIONEER CALLS AIR RIDE GREAT THRILL 80-Year-Old Woman Says She Wasn’t Bit Scared. SALT LAKE CITY. — In her younger days she gave ‘“‘Billy the Kid” a real ‘‘tongue lashing,” but when Mary J. Farnsworth, 80-year- old Utah pioneer woman, stepped from a plane here after her first air jaunt she was ‘‘thrilled speech- less.” An encounter with the Western bad man didn’t hold nearly so many thrills as a 20-minute ride through the clouds over Salt Lake valley, which she first entered behind a covered wagon as a girl of 10 years, Mrs. Farnsworth declared. “The Kid” came to Mrs. Farns- worth’s home and threatened to search the residence for weapons during one of his flights from posses. But he never got inside. “I sent him on his way with a tongue lashing he would never have taken from any man,” the pioneer woman recalled. gers and experiences of frontier life can’t compare with aviation, she declared. Stepping from a plane at Salt mitted. “It was the greatest thrill of my life—and I wasn’t scared a bit.” Hermit Hears of His own obituary to bring Frederick B. Jones from self-exile, two years aft- er he disappeared from his home and work here. Recently a weathered skeleton was found in rugged mountains 50 miles north of here. Sheriff's dep- uties estimated it had been exposed two years, and said it might be the bones of Jones, a druggist, who disappeared in August of 1936. Dental work resembled Jones’, and an automatic pistol found near the skeleton was said by a friend to be his. The person whose skele- ton was found had apparently been slain. But it wasn’t Jones. Hearing that he was thought to be dead, Jones, 63, emerged from his desert wood-cutter’s camp 25 miles from Phoenix just long enough to assure old friends he was alive and happy. He then heard for the first time that there had been a strained situ- ation, almost war, between Euro- pean nations and that he had been left $10,000 by his mother-in-law, who died some months ago. But Jones did not like what he saw in the city and he went back to his hermit life, to which he fled in an escape from ‘‘domestic difficul- ties.” Sword ‘Gargling’ Stops Throat Ills, Actor Says HOXIE, KAN.—John G. (Lucky) Ball, who turned from lion taming to sword swallowing for a ‘‘soft” job, believes there’s no better way of avoiding throat ailments than “to gargle a sword now and then.” To prove his assertion, Ball cites the fact that not once since he start- ed swallowing swords five years ago has he been bothered with a sore throat. His wife, one of the few women sword swallowers in the country, likewise has not suffered from throat trouble, although she has unusually large tonsils. Ball quit taming lions and started swallowing swords after a lion se- verely injured him. There is no danger of being injured by swallow- ing a sword, Ball said, unless there are jagged edges on the weapon. For a chaser, Ball eats fire. Ball has appeared in several mo- tion pictures and now is under con- tract. He came to Sheridan county, Kan., years ago to put on his lion taming act, married a local girl and since then has claimed this as his home county. Marriage Now Makes Him Stepfather of Grandson PITTSBURGH.—John H. Rolls, 56, of West View, married his own daughter-in-law in Cumberland, Md., after the couple had twice been refused a license in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

In 14 per cent of all accidents ac- { cording to the report made by Deputy f Secretary of Revenue Otto F. Messner, | the operator of the car was apparantly ! intoxicated. | This condition also was reported to | be the condition of 2.2 per cent of all | operators involved in fatal accidents. On the other hand the survey shows that 8.5 per cent of all pedestrians in- volved in accidents were drunk as were 15 per cent of all pedestrians in- volved in fatal accidents. Last year 69.5 per cent of all opera- | tors involved in motor smash ups in Pennsylvania were reported as having { been in an apparentiy normal condi- | tion at the time. A break down of this group shows | that 7.3 per cent of the operators in fatal accidents, 71.8 per cent in non- | fatal accidents and 67.2 per cent in | property damage accidents were like- | Wise reported as being in an apparent- ly normal condition. | A further anaylsis indicates that20.5 per cent were inattentive at the time. This same condition was found in 17.5 per cent of the operators in fatal ac- cidents, 18.3 per cent of the operators i in property damage accidents. | In comparison to this condition on the part of the operator is the fact | that 6.9 per cent of all pedestrians in- | volved in accidents were also reported | as inattentive, In this group 61.2 per cent of all | | ‘ i | | | i | | | pedestrians involved in fatal accidents | were inattentive. | “In view of this information,” Mr. ; Messner said, “it is apparent that both operators and pedestrians must be | keeping their minds on traffic. In addition to inattentiveness, oper- | | ators were reported as being confused | in 4.3 per cent of the cases. This same | element of confusion was reported of | 3.2 per cent of the operators in fatal | accigents and 40 pe rcent and 4.6 per | cent of the operators in non fatal and | property damage accidents respect- ively. The pedestrian was reported as be- ing confused in 124 per cent of the cent of the fatals. Of all operators involved in acci- dents 3.2 per cent reported their view as having been obstructed, and 4.7 per cent of the operators in fatal crashes reported this condition. The pedestrian was similarly influenced in 49 per cent of the pedestrian accidents and 4.3 per cent of the pedestrian fatal ac- cidents. The balance of the operators includ- ed in the report are classed as being 1 asleep or having a physical defect. The former condition applied to .85 per cent of all operators involved and 1.5 per cent of those in fatal accidents, while the latter condition existed in 28 per cent of al accidents and .54 per cent of the total accidents.
