NAVY AVIATOR GETS
REVENGE ON ARMY
Outstunts Record Holder in
Other Branch.

Washington.-Lieut Afford j. Will
liams, navy aviatorrand speed record
holder, has gained revenge for his
branch of the service over it's friendly
enemy, the army.
Back in 1925, Lieut.. James 81. Doc
little of the army affixed pontoons to
his land plane, entered the Schneider
international seaplane race and flew
away with first place in the record
time of 232 miles an hour. Then, on
May 25, 1927, he performed the I'M
precedented feat of turning an "out-
side' loop, and chalked up another
mark for the army.
The honors are even now. Lieuten-
ant Williams has not only duplicated
Doolittle's feat, but created a stunt
new to aerial acrobatics-an outside
loop from an upside-down position. In
addition to shattering an army record
he used an army type land plane.
How He Did 1t.
At height of 5000 feet, the navy
pilots plane described a horizontal
figure eight, 600 feet high, the first
loop made on the Doolittle pattern,
and the second starting after a half
roll, while flying upside down.
In normal loop the aviator puts
the nose of the machine down slightly
to obtain maximum speed, then, pull
ing back on the control stick, rises
slowly at first and then more rapidly
as the top of the loop is made. Just
after the top is reached, he shuts off
his motor and let's the machine fall
through the last half of the loop,
which looks like the letter sc" in
script.
The "outside" loop begins and is
completed with the airman's head on
the outside instead of on the inside,
as in the conventional loop. The new
maneuver begins and ends with the
pilot flying upside down.
In normal loop the pilot feels he
Is glued to his seat. In the "outside"
force seems to pull him out of the
cockpit
Everything seemed to rush to my
head" Lieutenant Williams said, "and
for moment / was blinded"
Crisis Comes at Half Circle.
The crises of both loops were
reached when they were half through.
he added, and there was strong
temptation to believe they had been
completed. He admitted his flying
senses deceived him, and he concluded
he was through with the circle when
in reality he had gone but halfway
around.
Filters estimate that the centrifugal
force eXerts a pressure of eight to
one, making it necessary for the seat
of the plane to be able to support a
weight of 1000 pounds. The difficulty
experienced by the pilot in maintain
ing his own position with reference
to the controls, with the blood rush.
ing to his head, was we'll known to
the pilots at the naval air station at
Anacosta, who witnessed Williams
flight amid gasps of amazement.

Death Ended Loue Fast

Herr Fritz Pelzers adored one pre-
ferred man along the prevailing
idea of slimness, and Herr Pilzer was
fifty and fleshy. According to re.
port from Germany, she agreed to
marry the wealthy wine merchant on
one condition-he must reduce. Herr
Pelzer agreed sorrowfully, for he had
tried it before-unsuccess few
days ago he was found dead in his
shop. He had reduced himself to q
shadow of his former self.

French Hoard of Gold
i'm Secret Flooded Moat

Paris.-A fortress with moat
guards the gold of the Bank of France.
Deep in the cellars of the last-built
branch of the bank, in an old aristo-
cratic palace, there is always an
armed sentinel with orders to let no
one but the chief director enter. The
entrance to the strong room is metal
safe door seven feet thick. Inside,
the gold is stored in other, supposedly
burglar-proof, boxes. The moat, 65
feet deep, has swift 1O-foot flow, of
water in it, diverted from an under.
ground river.
Should some master cracksman
reach the big steel door, he would be

are to cause the floor to vanish are

safety of their treasure that they are
willing that burglars should know
where France keeps her billions.

Kept His Promise to
Bring DoUn Balloon

Lieut.. Frank Luke, Jr., daredevil
American ace who brought down IA
enemy balloons during the World war
before he was killed, deliberately set
out to "get" balloons because of the
danger and difficulty involved, points
out Norman S. Hall In an article In
Liberty Magazine.
Hall reports that one day Luke
heard fellow-member of his outfit,
an experienced veteran, say: "Any
man who gets balloon has my re-
spect, because he's got to be good or
he doesn't get it. think they're the
toughest proposition pilot has to
meet"
The next day Luke said to men,
Der Of the squadron: "Did you hear
what was said about balloons last
night? Well, I'm going to get one to-
day."
And, the unusual thing is that he

MARYE and 'MOM'
THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES.


Darling Mother:
Well, I asked Alan what he
thought about settling down to fire
side and slippers and you should
have heard what he said It was
sufficiently scorching to decide me
not to undertake his training.
Anyway, what woman wants a
trained husband these days? We
prefer that men remain just as they
were when we married them. Being
able to take our time about it with
out fear of becoming old maids.
why, we have q better break in get
ting what we want in marriage. It's
just because they do sometimes
change afterwards that some of us
decide on a little detour to Paris
or Reno.
And as for losing our freshness,
we know where to get it back.
Sleeping late mornings restores my
youthful bloom quite successfully
and there are always the perfectly
marvellous beauty parlors to make
us blossom like dandelions after a
rain. We don't have to slave aa
women did before the age of cleo
tricity.
Alan refused to come home to
lunch. He said he hadn't time. I
don't think it would have worked
cut anyhow because I'd have been
rushed like mad to get it ready for
him.
AS it is I've planned to drop in
the office about noon occasionally
and go to lunch with him so he
won't have to put up with the COM
pany of girls like that one I saw
him with. To be frank, she looked
impossible to me and I don't think
that kind of association would do
Alan any good. He hasn't said who
she was
Yesterday 1 had a surprise visit
from Norman's aunt and what do
you think she had the effrontery
to say to me? She actually said
his family was pleased that 1 had
broken my engagement to him as
they wanted him to, take his art
seriously. and they believed he
couldn't if he married a flapperl I
hope you will call on his mother
and tell her that they can't expect
anything deep from Norman, for he
certainly enjoyed being Tapped"
Alan sends his love and says to
ask you to send some more jelly.
We've used it all up with waffles
for late snacks. Some of the gang
hadn't tasted homemade black
berry Jelly since they we're kids.
With love and thanks.
