Ranchman's Daughter

In Ardmore, Okla., one Ethel Hindman, ranchman's daughter, at the request of cinema photographers and before the marveling gaze of 4,000 yokels admitted at 25 cents each, stood up on the wing of an airplane, leaped into space, curved down 40 feet to cleave the waters of the city lake. The force of the impact split her bathing cap.

He-Man

In Plainfield, N. J., six years ago, one August N. Laggren, manufacturer, adopted Alice Amelia Banta, a dark, dimpled, amiable child of nine years. His wife died. Recently he, 52, married the child. Said he: "Those who know me in Plainfield--and they are plenty-- were not stirred up by my marriage as outsiders were, because I believe the people in my own home town always respected me for what I have been--a regular, honest-to-goodness heman! I have never done a mean act in my whole life."
