A word to prospective flying cadets.
AT Fort Omaha, Neb., recently an
Army examining board was in session
to examine candidates for appoint
ment as flying cadets. Only four out
of twelve passed the physical exami-
nation. Most Of those who failed had
physical defects which could have
been picked up by any physician.
Had these unsuccessful candidates,
prior to making their trip, taken the
precautfon to submit to a preliminary
examinatio by their home physicians
they would have been found disquali-
fled and saved the time, together with
the expense, which their trip entailed
Selfridge Field. Mich, is to be the
scene Of the next Pulitzer race, to be
held on October II, 13 and IA. The
officers of the first group (pursuit)
are preparing for an attendance of
100000 people and are of the
opinion that the event will undoubt-
edly surpass anything that has ever
been done heretofore In races.

a record breaker trial OF $50 hours
duration on q Navy test stand in
Washington.
A recent demonstration. conducted
by Navy pilot under the supervis-
the HIN plano was all but capable of
flying without a pilot. A descrip-
t1on OF the test by Commander T. &.
Ellyson Of the bureau Of aeronautics
is sufficient to give an accurate idea
Of the stability demonstrated by the
plane: "ln testing the plane for sta
bility the pilot released the controls,
taking his hands and feet off of them.
The throttle was cut to low speed and
the plane went into a long glide. He
then speeded up the engine and. still
without the controls being touched.
the plane lcveled off and continued in
normal flight. with the engine turn
ing up from 1,100 to 1900 revolutions
and the plane making about sixty
knots.
with the throttle wide open. The
her speed was cut to about forty
knots. She fell off on one wing and
dove until a speed of 100 knots was
registered, when the plane again lev
eled off in a normal flight. During
the entire demonstration the pilot,
troll with either his feet or his hands"
Based on the recent performance
under test by officials of the bureau
of aeronautics, it is stated that new
type of airship engine to be installed
in the ZR-l will be able to estab blish
the lowest figure for fuel consump-
tion yet recorded in airship opera
tions.
The new fleet airship will carry six
Of the engines and will have a rated
horsepower of 1900. When cruising
at 5000 feet altitude the engines are
required to develop an average of
$50 brake horsepower each and turn
UP a speed of 1,400 revolutions per
minute.
During the recent test the new type
engine fulfilled and exceeded these
requirements. With wide-open throt-
tie horsepower Of $40 was recorded,
and the average horsepower devel-
oped was 256 at an average speed OF

AIR SERVICE

Mechanical instruction of Air Serv-
ice personnel in connection with
heavier-than-air craft, conducted with
such excellent results at the Air
Service mechanics school at Chanute
Field, ILL.,, Is soon to be augmented
by the introduction OF courses for
ligtter-than-ai mechanics.
The Institutional staff Of the school
will be utilized, with the exception
Of nine enlisted lighter-than-air spe-
cialists, who will conduct courses for
gas-plant operation, mechanics (bal-
loon and airship), fabric workers,
auto mechanics and winch drivers.
The dovetailing of the training OF
these two branches will result in a
large saving of time and money.
Work has been started upon
hangers and a contractor is on the
ground to commence the grading OF
the 99th Division flying field at Pitts
burgh, Pa. This field, which was pre-
sented to the government by the Aero
Club of Pittsburgh. is located about
one mile from Hoboken, Pa, short
distance above Pittsburgh on the
Allegheny river. 1t will be in shape
to receive flying equipment in about
two months:
Besides being the headquarters of
the 324th Aero Squadron of the 99th
Reserve Division, this field will serve

THE NAVY

An interesting application Of the
Nays wartime radio system to
peace-time purposes is the announce
ment made last week that arrange
ments have been made with the naval
communication service for radio COM
ican and the S. s. American Legion
during Secretary Hughes trip to Rio
de Janeiro and return.
Both ships have been furnished
with special amplifiera for the wave
lengths Of the Navy stations. Amer
direct aboard the ships each day of
the trip and special arrangements
have been made with the Navy for
handling interesting bits Of informa-
ton as to events aboard ship which
may be compiled by the many news
paper correspondents.
Messages sent from the ships will
probably be routed through the radio
receiving stations at Bar Harbor, Me-,
and San Juan. Porto Rico. After
crossing the equator it may be neces-
sary to send messages from the ships
to the Brazilian shore radio stations
Of static" which is always bad in
southern waters. In addition. the
battleships Maryland and Nevada,
which will accompany the Shipping
Board vessels. will also copy the mes
sages and will relay them if neces-
sary.
Novel Aircraft Arrives.
A new type of plane for the train
ing of student naval aNiators. which
combines safety features never before
equaled in aircraft, with qualities OF
speed and maneuverability, has just
been delivered at the naval air station.
Anacostia, after a ten-hour fight Of
760 miles from Ogdensburg, N. Y.
Tests conducted at the factory and
subsequent flights. notably the one
from New York, have demonstrated
excellent qualities of stability in the
plane which renders it of exceptional
value for training purposes. The ship
will be known as the Huff Navy
HN-1 and was built to Navy specifica-
tions. 1t is equipped with a Hispano-
guiza engine, which recently passed

At the meeting of the executives
of the railroads held in New York
on August ,23d Mr.. L. E. Shepherd,
the spokesman for the FIVE brother
hoods who attempted to mediate
between the railroads and the shop
men, suggested that perhaps there
might be settlement brought about
between the shopmen and some in
dividua1 railroads, because OF the
varying conditions existing through
out the country.
Acting upon the above suggestion,
the Chesapeake and Ohio, with
ffty-one other roads aggregating
$4,000 miles, conferred with the
brotherhood heads, they serving as
mediators, to see if settlement
could be brought about. The repre-
sentatives of these roads felt that
they could, without departing from
the principles for which either side
had been striving, make arrange
ments that would be acceptable to
both sides. With this in view, a
proposition was presented to the
mediators, which, so far as this COM
pany was concerned, made such pro-
vision as would result in all men
being returned to work at once in
positions of the class they originally
held on June 30th, 1922, and in the
same city and locality, with their
pass and pension privileges fully re-
stored and with their present rates
of pay.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Richmond, Va, August rs, 1922.

Richmond, Va, August 26,- 1922.
In making this arrangement it
was fully and definitely understood
that the rights and interests of the
old men who either remained in the
service or who have come back to
the service since July 1st and the
new men who have come into the
service will be fully and justly pro-
tected.
y The proposition further provided
that if a dispute should arise as to
relative standing of an employe or
employees the matters should be re-
ferred to commission, to consist Of
ten men, five of whom would be the
big five representatives, the other
five railroad officers.
= 1t would seem ill-advised that
men should refrain from going to
work 1t they are able to accomplish
the substance Of what they have
really been asking for.
This statement is published to
show the public, as well as our men,
that we have made an earnest en-
deavor to settle the matter without
sacrificing any principle SO far as
either side is concerned and yet Civ
ing the public the service to which
they are entitled and which they
must have to take care of their wants
in the coming winter.
It is felt that the shopmen on
consideration will feel that their rep
resentatives should have accepted
proposition along these lines.

Signal Corps Instruction.

A resumption of activities in the

Vail, N. j., will take place the fore
part of September. The course for
enlisted men, which has a capcity for
800 students, and the company Off
GERS course, whose capacity is about
sixty officer students. will open at
the same date.
Owing to the limited mileage and
transportation funds, it is not known
how many enlisted men and officers
will be sent to the school this fall.

the branches has any officers to

THE ARMY

Unless corrective measures are In
stituted the time may come when our
national existence will be jeopardized
by the condition Of physical unfitness
of our man power: This is the gist
of an article by Maj. A. D. Tuttle,
department in time of war, which, he
strength Of the forces in the field"
In an analysis of the world war
Maj. Tuttle shows that of the men
legally qualified in class 1 approxi-
or assigned to limited service because
of physical defects. Ninety per cent:
he states, will be rejected because Of
disabilities existing prior to the call
to military service.
According to Maj. Tuttle's state
ment. the weeding-out process causes
Il serious delay in the speed Of mobil-
ization. with the consequent inability
to mobilize our man power rapidly
for defense.
The problem. he says. is one pri-
marily of public health work to pre-
vent the development Of these de-
fects, and. secondarily. of medico-
military efficiency to increase the
speed Of induction.
Increase Athletic Meets.
Field. track and tennis sports will
be included in the annual meet of the
Naval and Military academies next
year. according to the present plans
of the superintendents of the two in
stitutions. The first game in these
branches will take place at West
Point in the spring, probably on the
same day the base ball mines meet.
The arrangement is the result of
the personal efforts of Rear Admiral
Henry B. Wilson, superintendent of
the Naval Academy. Admiral Wilson
was willing for the midshipmen to
meet the cadets in several additional
branches, but the authorities of the
Military Academy were said to be
willing at this time to extend it only
to these two sports.
AS the teams now meet annually
in foot ball. base ball and basket
ball, it is reasonable to presume that
the list of competitive athletics will
be extended between the two acad-
emies.

TAX DEL|NQUENTS
:Iardy Personally Return
Means 23 Per Cent In

The proud possessors Of automo-
biles, 5ewelry, bank accounts and
other articles that como under the
personal tax law Of the District will
find 1t rather expensive not to fiu
out and return the assessment blanks
being mailed by Assessor Richards.
The price Of such forgetfulness or
oarelessness will be the addition of
q penalty Of e3 per cent to the tax
you finally will have to pay when
the assessor finds out that your re-
turn has not been died.
In past years the ONCE has added a
20 per cent penalty to the bills OF
those persons who did not make the

Handling Of Appeals.
Assessor Richards believes he has
feasible scheme worked out for
handling appeals from personal tax

uary. two months after the time
when half the tax is due. Here is
how Mr.. Richards explains his plan:
There are two classes OF personal
tax returns-those In which the office
makes no change in the value placed
on his effects by the taxpayer. and
those in which the taxpayers value is
found either too high or too low.
require no change and this large
group Of personal taxpayers will be
able to pay their tax In two equal In
stallments3 In November and May
without difficulty.
"TheSremaining rs per cent Of per-
sonal taxpayers. whose valuations re-
qutre change. will pay half the tax in
November on the basis Of the tenta-
tive assessment. Appeals in these
cases will be handled in January as
May will be adjusted up or down. ac-
cording to the change in the assess
ment resulting from the appeal" -
Example of Scheme.
Here is an example of how thisswill
be worked: Ifia persons personal tax
amounts to 5000 on the tentative as
Ser. # on As appeal peal p' in January anu W e his ta1
for the year should be reduced to
$500 his final payment in May would
be cut to $3.50, making his total pay,
ment for the year $500. =:
This method Of handling the situa-
ton will be discussed at a conference
tomorrow between Corporation Coun-
|sel Stephens, Assessor Richards and
Auditor Daniel J. Donovan. These
three have been named a committee
by the Commissioners to iron out the
difficulties in the collection of per-
sonal taxes brought about by the new
appropriation law.
This committee, will consider asking
Congress to amend the new tax-law

taxes. but for the present fiscal year
some such plan az outlined by Rich
ards will have to- be followed. 4
