AVIATION TESTS BY
OUR ARMY EXPERTS
To Be Made This Week at the
Aviation School at San Diego,
GAIA Dozen Entries of
Various Makes Already Re-
ceived

Washington, Oct 11.-Tests are to
be carried out this week at the Avia
ton School of the United States Army
at San Diego, Cal, for the purpose of
developing the aeroplane best adopted
to military purposes. All the leading
manufacturers of aeroplanes in this
country have been invited to place
their type of aeroplane in competition
at the San Diego grounds and there
has been about a dozen entries. since
the European War began there have
been inquiries as to the extent of aerial
er the general direction of Brigadier
George P. Scriven, chief signal officer,
and the immediate command of Capt.
A. S. Cowen, there are now in training
at San Diego 81 officers and about ITO
enlisted men and civilians. An i'm
portant adjunct is the staff of expert
civilian employees including aeronau
tical engineers, highly trained machin
lists and engine builders some of whom
receive salaries as high as $500 per
annum. The corps is equipped with
ten aeroplanes and flying boats and
will soon be In possession of four more
now under construction.
If in the coming test at San Diego,
five or more machines qualify under
the conditions which the War Depart
ment will set, the government will pur
chase the three which make the great
est numbers of points. agreeing to pay
s12,0 900 for the first, $4,000 for the sec
ond and eight thousand dollars for the
third. The experience of the aviators
in the European War has shown that
one of the most desired qualifications
is the ability of the aviator to rise
quickly so as to gain advantage in po
sitien over an antagonist or to escape
rifle-fire. Therefore the Department.
specifications require that to be ac-
copied a machine must be able to climb
1000 feet in ten minutes with a useful
load of $50 pounds.
1t must be of the biplane type with
an enclosed passenger compartment;
two seated, with dual control and with
a maximum speed not less than 20 and
minimum speed of not more than 40
miles per hour, when carrying fuel and
oil for four hour flight at 70 per hour.
The engine must be in front of the
occupants and the machine must be
able to glide at an angle not to exceed
l to 6. Finally the machines must
qualify by making a no-stop flight of
four hours.
1t is probable that the signal corps
will place large orders for the manufac-
ture of such machines as may success
fully pass through the test.

aeroplanes in the European armies have

Thayer's rendition of the "Giannina.

splendid and met with instant re-
Spouse. She displayed a delectable bit
of skill in coloratura, singing a dainty
French Lyric "Gai Papillon" in the
last act, and in between, each of her
songs was a revelation 70 how pleas

music, as was no doubt noted when
