 A A. Bennett, pilot of the Fair banks plane, which landed at Me Grath yesterday afternoon, arrived in Takotna about noon today, coming up with Al Goslaw, who went down to McGrath last evening.
 On the way over, Mr. Bennett states, the airpane stopped at all river roadhouses between Nenana and Me Grath, in response to the wishes of Gus Gelles, well known representative of an Outside commercial house, who made the trip over with MT. Bennett.
 Airplanes, we'll say, are getting quite accommodating when they make make these stops for the convenience of their patrons.
 MT. Bennett, in company with MT. Goslaw, this afternoon made an in- spection of the Taflotna landing field, on the hill back of town, and, speak ing to The Times, declared without hesitation that the field was all right, though perhaps inconvenient, and he knew not the slightest reason why airplanes should not land there. He said, however, that he favored the spot just below here, known locally as ''the meadows" All he desired for a landing field was a stretch about 500 feet ong and 100 feet wide. With a couple of teams of horses and two or three men, he stated that an excellent field, answering his purpose, could be built. This, he said, would put the landing almost in town, and at the same time doing away with the incon- venience of hill climbing.
 Mir. Bennett, with MT. Goslaw, will leave this evening for McGrath,, from which place he will take flight tomor- row, weather conditions permitting, for Fairbanks

CRITIC

A new cult was discovered in
Washington last night.
It's members gather twice night
w on Fifteenth Street in front of
the Keith lights, and sound out
the paying guests on the show.
They ask opinions at intermis-
sion time and again after the
orchestra has played the final
march.
Pretty good so far?" asked one
OF the strange brotherhood during
intermission.
more than that replied a
youngish man OF serious n1ien,

Then: Nathan Brusiloff and his
