Show all ales As told to: ELMO FRANK E. d SCOTT HAGAN WATSON Pale as Paste HIS personal physician. Doctor liamsey, once concocted a sticking stick-ing substance of unparalleled strength, asserts Henry W. Kwert of the Chicago Board of Trade. "Doc kept the ingredients of his great invention secret," Ewert says. "But I can tell you it was composed com-posed of a mixture of parboiled fishhooks, mustard plaster and worn out Scotch pocketbooks. "My friend's only difficulty was In obtaining capital necessary for Its manufacture in bulk. So be proved its holding qualities. "The doctor wheeled out his small stunt plane one day and hired an aviator to 11 y it. He dropped a small line approximately the dimensions of a human hair, from the plane and grabbed ahold of it. Then he clung tightly while the aviator made a perfect takeoff. "Doctor Ramsey rode through the air with the greatest of ease for more than two hours, dangling from the hairline, which was fastened to the plane by the sticky liquid. "When they alighted it was necessary nec-essary to burn away three and three-quarters of the plane's surface sur-face with an acetylene torch In order or-der to detach the hair. "The doc was pale as paste after his adventure, but the demonstration demonstra-tion proved a boon to everyone, including in-cluding the manufacturer who sold doc a new plane."
