NJ Major r. Schroeder. Army Air Ser
-. holder of the American altitude
,.cord. goes the prize Of the American
y,vne Club for the best performance
rraer handicap in the New York-Toronto
4, race last week. His victory in
yourht VET machine IL a romance Of
=, uvlv duckling. Barely a week before
"a saSe started the machine was lying
=, the scrap heap at McCook Field. Day
,or II had crashed badly some weeks
n,sv,ously beneath an English pilot who
rs irving out this latest OF the Ameri-
c.r training models, one OF the secrets
al the war.
schroeder, however, had supreme con-
easnee in the machine. He went to Day
ian. patched up the wreck with part
sron, this and another from that item In
the scrap heap on which 1t lay, flew 10
toronto Just in time to get into the
tart there. and now comes out with the
rost reliable performance OF all the
,Srtv contestants who finished the race.
Aoush he stood ninth on the list as
ranked according to speed only Tor the
iot9 miles of the course.
Nsior Schroeder, Notwithstanding his
v,otory. cannot accept a part OF the
s,o 900 prize money hung up by the
commodore Hotel. The War Depart
r,.nt has ruled against the acceptance
A cash BY members OF the service. In
stssd trophies will be awarded to the
military pilots.
n II. Depew. who drove Curtiss
MAD plane, ranks second In the reiia-
hIlItv contest and takes first money out
AZ the Commodore cash prizes. He nm
,.bed twenty-third in the speed contest.
Handicaps Cor High Power.
The reliability standing Of the fiiers
was determined by ascertaining the ef-
scIaI Government speed rating OF each
machine under full normal load and n.y.
,ne in still air. This was compared with
,hs actual speed during the flying time
Of the race, and the performances rateo
accordingly. Depew thus ranks hign
among the contestants because MS ma
chine is equipped with Curtiss motor
N only ninety horsepower. The Vought
AZ Major Schroeder is driven by His
pane-Suiza of $50 horsepower.
Under this determination the Liberty
driven planes lose a little Of their pres
tiee. Their 400 horsepower subjects
them to considerable handicap. Yet. de-
spite this, they rank well above All the
others except the low powered Curtiss
planes which made an excellent show
ing throughout.
The vought machine. designed by
Chane E. Vought. was developed Just
before the armistice as training plane
capable Of the utmost fiexibility In stunt
flying. yet possessing characteristics OF
stability and strength. Pilots were en-
g. int
and triclSiest Of chasse planes after a
few weeks Of training.
The German Fokhers fell well down
IN the efficiency table. The British built
Sc planes made a much better showing
The standing OF those who finished. ac-
cording to the table made public last
night, with the percentages indicating
their relation to standard performance.

ers which meets at kineo, Maine OH

pack president of the American

TO the Eastern Foresters to express
their view of the need of nauonal

''The people of this country must

which will result in our watersheds

The North and East are being rapldIF
used up and many WOOD uslHs III

THE Eastern Foresters are experts
who should be able to offer practl-
cal solution to the problem of how
to conserve what forests we have
remaining. how to restore what for
ests have been destroyed. how to
nrotect our forests from fire and
how to provide for perpetuation of

uuiremerts of the nation may be as

sist the onslaughts of the Hun be-

full supply of lumber for her allies
and herself because she adopted a
practical forest policy over one hun

THE American Forestry Associa-
ton heartily supports the demand of
the United tates Forest Service for
a rational forest policy and calls
upon the lumbermen, timberland
owners and foresters of the country
to suggest plans for policy which
will be practical and which will as
