AIRCRAFT AND RADIO
USED TO AID FISHING
Planes Recruited to- Locate Schools
and Maintain Patrols Against
Illicit Catching.

Aircraft and radio. the newest de-
velopments of science. are being re-
cruited to the aid of fishing, human
industry as old as hunting and older
than. farming, according to Lewis
Radcliffe. deputy United States fish
commissioner. Canada, England. Scot
land. France and Japan are among the
countries making use Of airplanes for
locating schools of fish. whales. etc,
and for maintaining patrols against
illicit fishing. The Danish govern
ment also Is reported to be contern-
plating an airplane fish patrol off the
coast of Greenland. where there Is q
stretch of 225 miles of fishing waters
which single surface vessel cannot
guard adequately. but which could be
kept under supervision easily by q
fast-fying and far-seeing plane. The
United States was the pioneer in this
work. having used planes and dirig-
1bles as early as 1919, but lack OF
funds and the disorganized condition
of the fisheries have prevented further
development in this country.
In Spain efforts are now being made
to interest fishing vessel owners TO
install radio telephone receiving and
transmitting apparatus and at least
one fishing vessel has been equipped.
In addition to the benefits I'm case of
storm, or disaster. it Is claimed that
the addition OF this equipment will
enable the fishing vessel to keep in
touch with the market and thus re-
turn at more advantageous periods:
that canneries may be notified of ex-
pected time Of arrival and extent Of
catch or may send for tugs to go to
the fishing fleet to collect the catch
when fishing is good.
The use of radio telephony by whal-
ers has minimized the difficulties Of
that industry, enabling the vessels to
communicate the discovery of whales
to the other members of the feet and
to direct the factory ship where to
proceed to receive the catch.

AIR CORPS APPLICANTS SWAMP
ARMY SINCE LINDBERGH'S FEAT
Aspirants for Flying Cadetships More Than
Doubled in Capital, Recruiting Posts
Flooded, Officers Report

Scores of young men throughout
the country. having read of the re-
markable flying ability of Capt.
Charles A. Lindbergh. have literally
swamped the Air Corps with applica'
tons for flying cadetships in the
primary and advanced training schools
at the Army Air Corps training center
in Texas, where Lindbergh was
trained.
Capt. Lindbergh took the primary
training at Brooks Field and the ad.
Vanced training at Kelly Field. both
just outside of San Antonio, In the
capacity of flying cadet. Upon his
graduation he automatically went into
the Air Corps Reserves. The training
lasted a year and II is estimated many
thousands Of dollars were spent III
giving this young man his aerial
education.
Harry c. s:gourney. in charge of
applications for pilot training in the
Air Corps, was unable to estimate the
exact number of inquiries regarding
eligibility for the flying cadetship ex-
aminations yesterday, but he regarded
the number as being the largest in
the history of Air Corps peace time
activities.
Recruiting Posts Flooded.
The Air Corps does not have to
shout from the housetops for appli.
cants to become pilots and it usually
has more than it can handle. Since
the Lindbergh feat however. local
young men have filed into Mr..
S:gourney's Office from opening to
closing time. wanting to become flying
cadets and the mail applications have

The aerial feature of the national re.
ception to be accorded Capt. Charles
A. Lindbergh on his arrival here Sat-
urday crystallized into more definite
form yesterday when Maj. Gen. Ma

the citizens committee in the District

Selfridge Field, Detroit, Mich here in

upon as the pride of the Air Corps.

distinguished service to fly to Wash

Army flyers who are expected to ar
rive in Washington Saturday to greet
Capt. Lindbergh will include aces
bers of the world, Alaskan. pan-Amer.
ocan and Porto Rican flights and
those who have performed very diff
cult missions, such as the nonstop
transcontinental. dawn-to-dusk and
altitude flights. .e....
"Solo" Flight Suggested.
The suggestion that Capt. Lind
bergh be requested to put on solo"
fight over the Capital-in air void of
all other planes-was made to the
committee today by Harold Lindbergh
Seal, first cousin of the noted airman.
Mr.. Seal said he knew Capt. Lindberg
would rather fly than anything else
and he would be happier aloft than on
the ground. Chairman John Hays
Hammond agreed to present this along
with numerous other suggestions, to
the airman when he arrives.

training center, he Is put through a
severe course of flying augmented by
a thorough study of military aeronau-
tics. Ordinarily an apt pupil can be
taught to fly in "A few hours, but the
military character of airmanship
makes it necessary that he become an
expert pilot beyond a doubt and then
be able to fight in the air without
giving one thought to the fact that
he is flying. He must perform his
evolutions automatically and concen-
trate his entire attention on the prob
lem before him.
This feature of the training. 1t Is
explained, probably causes the down.
fall of more aspiring military pilots
than anything else once they master
the problem of getting off and landing.
Enlists for Army "Term."
The rank of flying cadet fits in be-
tween that of an enlisted man and
that of cadet at the Military
Academy. An applicant must enlist
just as though he were going in for a
term" in the Army, but the moment
he Is graduated from the course or is
discharged for physical disability or
inability to keep up with the other
students, the enlistment ceases. While
taking the course. the cadets are paid
SIS a month. If the graduate elects.
he may take the examination for a
second lieutenancy in the Regular
Army.
There are two other classes of stu
dents learning to fly along with the
cadet They are the enlisted mems
class and the officers class. The for
mer Is composed Of men who enlist
for the regular period in the Army
and who upon graduation are rated as

Splash Races Please Scots.

Dodging the splash Isl new motor
cycle sport in Scotland. A bucket Of
water is mounted on revolving
board high in the air and is normally
held upright by a weight slung un.
derneath. When the motor cycle rider
passes beneath it, the bucket is tipped
over and a couple of gallons of water
are poured out. On the speed of the
rider depends the degree of ducking
he receives. The novelty has been
popular at motor cycle meets.

occassioned by the remark, assured
the chairman that he would see to it

planes during the exercises,
At the request Of the National
Aeronautical Association, Gen. Patrick
advanced the petition for some of
Capt. Lindberg's time in order that
the airmen in Washington could honor
the flyer with a luncheon during his
stay. Gen. Patrick called attention
to the fact that while in Paris and
London, French and British airmen
had feted the pilot, adding that his
colleagues of the air here want to
do likewise.
Discuss Admission Plans.
Efforts will be made at the Navy
Department tomorrow to work out p
plan concerning the question of the
general public's admission to the NAVY
Yard on the day of Capt. Lindbergh's
arrival. Several suggestions are under
consideration, one providing that when
all available space in the vicinity of
the Mayflower dock is filled that the
gates of the yard be closed. Another
one called for the exclusion Of every
body but the official reception com.
mittee to avoid displeasure on the part
of those who would be forbidden en-
trance and still another called for
the admission by tickets to he held
by persons directly concerned with
the event.
In a formal suggestion, which he
filed with the committee after the
meeting, Mr. Seal wrote with respect
to a solo fight by Capt. Lindbergh:
This will be the only way that all
the people could see him. He loves to
fly. No one will question this. He

I should think it would have been

wife noticing that YOU are happy and
thinking up something else for you to
do and nobody ever heard of women
thinking up anything pleasant, either
on account of them being the opposite
sex, l guess, and doing the opposite of
what you want them to do.
This afternoon I was enjoying my

He raised her hand and brushed it
across his lips. His touch had the
power to make Sally's heart leap. She
felt confused-uncertain.
She was silent for so long that he
leaned forward.

He released her hand and sat back in
his chair. In her bewilderment she
twisted her fingers together uncer-
tainly.
Richard Alden wanted her to marry
him. He anted her for his wife.
This was not one of series of flirta-
tions like Myras. This was real OF

first. She had known that he was not
an idle fiirt. There was something too
purposeful about him. And with that
purpose in mind, he had played on her

if she had felt any lightness in him.
Deliberately, she tried to probe her
heart. 1t seemed incredible that she
could actually think of such a thing as
marrying another man. Had she

so short for such a radical difference.

Place this heavier drawing in posi-
tion on the tablecloth and slip bit of
transfer paper between it and the
cloth. Pin the heavy paper to the
cloth SO that it will not slip. Trace.
Remove the two papers and the de-
sign is ready TO embroider. For this
work use colors that exactly match
those on the china. The embroidery
may be as fine or as broad as pre-
ferred. The fancy today seems to be
for effective rather than fine work,
which makes the stitchery quick to do.
Bands TO Match.
If the china has no design except
bandings of color, good way to com
plete the matching scheme. both in de-
sign and tone. is to cut bands of linen
that match those OH the china and fell
them on the napery Set these up far
enough from the edges Of the linen
cloth and napkin so that the founda'
tion material forms border between
the edge and colored bands. Use mar.
row bands on the napkins and doilies
and wider band on the cover. If on
the china the bands are outlined in
black or gold. use colored silks or mer-
the bands on the napery. Instead of
using stitchery to fill in broad pat
tern transferred from dishes to cloth
colored linen may be appliqued and
outlined as described for bandings.
Colors With Crochet.
Still another way to have a match
ing color scheme for table service arti-
cles is TO crochet borders on covers,
napkins and doilies. A very narrow
lace should be used on the smaller
pieces and not wide one of the same
design on the cloth Work the first
row of stitches through the rolled or
hemsttched edge of the fabric with
chain OF two or three stitches between.
Catch the next row of work through
these loops that lie fiat along edges of
the fabric. Needlework may also be
used in a similar style.

Real Friends.
BY MIMI.


No matter how much we kid our
selves about this thing. the fact re-
mains that we all need real friends.
Even the most popular girl in the
world, who feels that her time is so
taken up with men she has no time
for girls, comes to a place where she
wants some old standby to call up and
confide in.
Yet there are an awful lot of dam
sells around today who don't seem TO
have any real friends on their lists
they've got plenty of acquaintance
and they know dozens of girls with
whom they've lunched or teaed occa-
sionally-but they haven't those pleas
ant, comfortable pals who come in so
handy when you need them.
And the reason is that the modern
maid is too susceptible TO flattery. The
average girl of today just simply loves
TO be told what a knockout she is IN
every way.
SO she falls for the new friend every
time For new friends are the ones

Did you ever hear new friend so
tactless? Not on your life. The girl
who doesn't know you very well will
tell you sweetly that your skin is sim
ply marvellous, my dear; / don't see
| how you get it that way" And she
will rave over anything you happen
| to be wearing. And you will like her
and expand under the warmth OF her
praise.
She hatters you because she doesn't
care two boots about you. She isn't
looking out for your. interests. She
isn't really interested in you.
The old friend picks on you--rather
irIitatingly at times, because she $
keenlY interested in you-and you re-
sent her interference.
You welcome the honeyed words of
the new friend. not realizing that if
she ever gets to be on the old-friend
list she'll be just as unpleasantly frank
as any pal you ever had.
If you're not the thinking type. yotS
Just wander around picking up new
friends every five minutes and not un-
derstanding why you haven't any real
| friends.
| You don't realize that just as soon
| as a girl becomes friendly enough
with YOU to be frank and easy, some
newcomer, whose ffattery and friendli-
| ness seem overwhelming, attracts your
attention. Presto, The old friendship
| is in the discard and the new takes its
