10 DEFY DEATH
IN FEAT TODAY
the earth has had no visitor nor has
man gone voyaging into space. Now,
however, we are beginning to look
abroad; physicists assert that inter
planetary travel is at least theoreti
cally possible.
If. for instance, there are' Intelligent
inhabitants on Mars, a globe judged to
he much older than the earth, it fol
lows, that the Martian race is far older
than humanity and should be more
learned. What is only theory with us
ought to be practicable to our neigh
bors on the red planet, granting their
existence.

"Martians Land On Earth," Is a
newspaper head that some day may be
flashed before us. What would follow?
Would, they come with death like the
beings of Wells imagination or would
we increase our store of knowledge
without being put to a fight against
extermination?
However, this is certain: If we donl
hear from the other planets, sooner or
later they will hear from us.

Defying death, flirting with the
roroner, in the most sensational and
laring of ail aerial feats, "Daredevil
Campbell will leap from one flying
lirplane to another at an altitude of
tbout 1,500 feet this afternoon at the
state fair grounds as a part of the
aero-auto race program presented by
Parr's Flying; Circus. And Campbell
will make the change without the use
of ropes or ladders, according to the
positive announcement of Leo Kesfler.
business representative of the Flying
Circus, who is arranging; the big New
Tear's day program.
Campbell already has made one suc
cessful leap at an altitude of 1.400 feet
at Venice, Calif. Photographs and
newspaper clippings substantiate his
claim. On his second attempt the
upper ship came too" close to him as
he rode the top plane of the lower
machine, striking him on the shoulder
nd driving the daring aerial acrobat
-hrough the plane, -which was dam
aged by the collision. Today, accord
ing to his own announcement, he will
either make the change or risk his life
in the attempt.
Race Event Is 50 Miles
The "Daredevil," during his per
formance this afternoon at the fair
grounds, will not only leap from plane
to plane, but will climb to all parts of
the "ship," stand on the upper wing
t the extreme tip, hang by one foot
rom the landing chassis, hang by one
a and from a ring underneath the tip
f the lower wing, stand upon his head
n the radiator, crawl out upon the
tail, and perform other feats that even
:he sagacious Orville Wright and
Glenn Curtis declared were quite im
possible only a few months ago.
The main automobile event will bn
jver a course of SO miles. Represen
tative Kessler has lined up' some
ipeedy entries for this event, and it
is predicted that a few new track
records will be hung up at the fair
grounds this afternoon, when the
speed demons begin rounding the
track. Cal Messner has entered his
"Blue Bird" Hudson speedster, which
he says is in the best possible condi
tion. Jim Thomas will pilot the car
n the mam event. Omer Toft, one of
he fastest drivers in the country, will
ie behind the wheel of the Essex Spe
cial, which is said to be one of the
fastest boats ever appearing In the
southwest. Charles J. Gold trap will
drive his Dodge Special.
Auto and" Plane to Race
Glen Thomas, driving a Mercer
Special, will race one of the Barr air
planes for two miles. Howard Patter
son will pilot the airplane. This will
;e one of the added feature attractions
on the afternoon's big bill.
Arrangements have been completed
to handle a capacity crowd at the fair
grounds this afternoon and - many
ushers will be on hand to assist pa
trons In finding their seats in the big
grandstand. All acts will be within
plain view of the stands.

PLANETARY NEIGHBORS
The suggestion that elsewhere in the
solar system there is to be found In
telligence equal to that of man, or con
siderably further advanced. Is an old,
and far from being an Impossible one.
Mars and Venues are two planets on
which might live creatures paralleling
man.
At least since man ha been here.
