WILL ENTER NEVADA
PLANE IN CONTEST

Lieutenant Fuller came i'm from
McDermitt yesterday to confer with
Louis Il. Jacobs about the details of
the national transcontinental air race
for the Pulitzer trophy. They. have
decided definitely to enter a ship, but
whether 1t be the Flyabout, stripped
for racing with an enlarged gas tank
and additional stream lines, or
whether the new all-metal monoplane
which they have ordered will depend
largely upon a reply to a wire sent
today as to just when the Larsen COM
pany will be able to make delivery. 1t
is practically assured, however, that
Nevada will be represented in the
contest
The organization of an aero club
of Nevada. as proposed by Jacobs, and
which will shortly be under way, will
mark the first constructive step of a
general nature to bring order out of
the semi-chaotic condition in which
the disjointed aerial activities in this,
state now finds itself
With the starting of the Skyline air
service shortly to be established. il
will be necessary for the next legis
lature TO pass laws, uniform to the
neighboring states and cities. With
an organization the purpose of which
is strictly aerial development an6
whose affiliations would place them ir
direct communication with every ad
vancement. such legislation would be
easily arrived at
The cooperation of every city i
he state, by the membership OF theis
citizens, in such an organization
whether directly or indirectly inter
ested in aviation, would support thf
club.
Aside from its legislative purpose

yertising the state among the othe
aero clubs of the country in invitinf

Jacobs will leave for Reno in tn
course of the week to take initia
steps of incorporation. He has beer
assured of the support of the Pacifi,
sero Club of San Francisco and vii
lake up the matter with the Aero
glub of America. Twenty or twenty
i've prominent aviation enthusiasts
have signified their desire to become
charter members. A club home ir
Reno will be sought by Jacobs on hi
arrival, in which 1t is proposed peri
