Dec. 21-William Coumbe, 17, a farmhand, of Rancocas, ha dthe role of aerial acrobat thrust upon him yesterday, and lived to tell the story.

With Darby at the controls, Coumbe and his pushed the plane to firm the plane friends, took to the air before Coumbe could Test Pilots Not Foolhardy; Fly Very Cautiously Roosevelt Field Aviator Says Men Rarely Risk Their Lives Needlessly and in good condition," he said.

Opposes Spectacular Flying. Contrary to general opinion, test pilots are not a foolhardy lot risk their lives reckiessiy, accoiding to Charles F. D. Evans, Roosevelt Field flier. They are men who fly cautiously because they know they must do so if they wish to continue their work.

In test pilot work, Evans plained, fliers take up new planes and ascertain if they are in good condition. It is their work to check the performance of the plane and pass it for regular commercial flying, work as exacting as flying the airmail. Evans is a former test pilot. For some time he was engaged in that capacity with the Moth Company at Lowell, Mass. To him, he says, this work was just like any other kind of flying, although it was essentially more dangerous.

In Air 1,500 Hours. Evans had considerable expertence to qualify him for such work. He is a member of the Royal Air Force and has been flying intermittently for 11 years.

During all the time he has been flying Evans has worn a parachute only five or six hours. Asked the reason for this, he answered promptly: "I never, wore one because I never had one-that is, I never bought one for myself." "A flier must maintain a high physical and mental fitness and fly machines that are structurally safe As the northeastward low passes out we can expect a gradual change to warmer weather by Monday.

Fashion leaders among the aristocracy haven't hesitated to express themselves as opposed to the new styles, and medical men have added their voice to the chorus of protests. The Marchioness of Queensbury has advocated that women "band together to resist the reintroduction of skirts that sweep the ground." Lday Ossulton, another leader of London fashions, declared "women will never, I am sure, take well to any fashion which is essentially impractical. Skirts may get longer but they will remain above the ankle.

Of that I am sure because a skirt that is longer than that is frankly a misery to wear." Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, the distinguished surgeon, agreeing with the feminine rebels, said: "I must congratulate those women who have announced their intention to Lt. R. E. Blick in a U. S.

The presidents of the three organizations expressed the opinion that The Eagle was performing fine constructive public service in seeking to arouse in business and professional men a consciousness of their civic duty to fulfill their jury obligations.
