Katherine StinSon, Once in
Worlds Spotlight, Lives
in Quiet.
BV NEA Service

on WA OBTDtC6
SANTA FE, N. M, July 3d.
Katherine Stinson, who from 1912
to 1918 was one of the greatest avi-
ators in the world, probably never
will fly again.
The woman who once held both
the duration and long distance fight
records has retired to private life
and now is living in Santa Fe, The
wife of M. A. Otero Jr., State audi
tor of New Mexico and himself an
accomplished aviator.
In 1918 Miss Stinson tried to enter
the American air force as a pursuit
pilot. Rejected on account of her
sex, she took to driving an ambu-
lance in France. This broke her
health, and for seven years she was
ar invalid. Only recently her health
returned, and now that it has she
is content to let her famous brother,
Eddie Stinson, of Detroit, do the
flying for the family.
But although she is out of the
game, she does not feel envious of
the women who are winning fame
as fliers.
At the height of her career her
achievements were known all over
the world.
She was/the 148th person to be-
come licensed pilot in America.
Few living people hold lower license
numbers. When she sailed aloft one
night in California and, with mag
nesium flares, traced series of
letters against the black sky, she
accc mplished something no flier
ever had done. She was, incidentally,
the first person of either sex to
fly at night, the fourth to loop the
loop, and the first woman to fly in
the Orient.
She conducted a flying school in
Texas before the World War, and
when the American army sent a
punitive expedition into Mexico to
capture Villa she volunteered to go
along as aviator. Her application
was turned down, but she had the
satisfaction of knowing that most
of the pilots who did go were men
she had taught to fly.
When this Government entered
the war she made herself useful
in every way possible. Her most
noteworthy flight was a trip from
Buffalo to Washington in the in
tereSt of the Red Cross, in which
she made various stops en- route
to pick up checks totaling $2,0OO,-
900 in value.

LONDON, July 26.-The seventy

as lightly on his shoulders as

Britain's most caustic and explo-

He demonstrated this recently by
waving a long-standing objection

not let his years deter him from

is at his country place in HEREFORD
shire, is even more vigorous than
the long morning walks in town.

BY PAUL r. MALLON

united PRESS stan Correspondent
PALO ALTO, Cal, July 26.-A
plan for a real campaign on the
Pacific coast, and for California in
particular, was laid today before
Herbert Hoover, Republican presi-
dental nominee, when Charles L.
Neumiller, chairman of the Re-
publican State central committee,
called for conference.
During the last five days friends
have been dropping down on
Hoovers campus Office to tell him
that the coast is his, but the can
didate is mindful that his friends
give him only one side of the pic
ture.
South Held Secure
Republican leaders are not blind
ed to the fact that there is size
able amount of sentiment in the
northern part of the State for Gov.
Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic
nominee. They are determined,
therefore, to conduct an extremely
vigorous campaign through this
region in an effort to roll up for
Hoover the largest majority ever
obtained by candidate here.
Neurniller worked out his plans in
conference Wednesday with Mar
shall Hale, chairman of the north
ern California committee, Mark L..
Requa, f1nancier; Milton Esberg,
treasurer of the central committee,
and John L. McNab, the San Fran
cisco attorney who nominated Hoo
yer at Kansas City.
The leaders are understood to
have reported at that conference
that the southern part of the State
is safe, but that the Democrats
might put up a stiff contest in
northern California if the campaign
is not properly handled. This i'm
portant battle-ground includes San
Francisco, which is generally re-
puted to be wet city. Hoover is
going to tour the disputed district
on his fishing trip beginning Sat-
urday, but he will make no speeches
and will hold no conferences.
Plan Stump Tour
Neumiller's plan is understood to
call for the raising of a suitable
campaign fund in which to send
speakers through the State, and es-
pecially in the north.
The speakers are expected to in
clude McNab, Gov. G. G. Young,
Senator Shortridge, Mayor Rolph of
San Francisco, and Secretary of
Navy Wilbur.
Democrats thus far have taken
no steps toward organization here.

AVIATION BABY
INDUSTRY NOW
IS TRADE GIANT
$100,o00,000 Annually Is
Spent in Sky Business;
Expanding Fast.
BY CECIL OWEN,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 26. - The
infant" aviation industry in Amer
lea already has developed into
$100,000,000 a year giant, and the
commerce department is being
swamped with applications for
pilots licenses.
A conservative estimate, based on
commerce department data, indi-
Gates that more than $100,000,O00 a
year is being spent in manufacture
of planes, construction of airports
and transportation Of mails and
passengers over established routes.
Applications for licenses are pour
ing in at the rate of slightly more
than 100 day, and monthly av-
erage of $500 applications was filed
for some months past.
In the past fiscal year an average
of seventy-fiye airports month was
established. Many more are pro-
posed.
Air mail routes have grown from
218 miles ten years ago to 1876
miles this month; and 1000 addi-
tional miles are expected to be
opened tbs year. Lowering of the
air mail charges is expected, also,
to facilitate the growth of this
service.
There are 100 air plane manu-
featuring companies, compared with
only 80 year ago.
There were 1895 planes made last
year, with an aggregate value of
$14,504,999, and commerce depart
ment experts estimate that about
5000 planes will be turned out by
the factories this year.
Schools for instruction are BOT,
compared with 161 year ago.

SCHOOL BOARD is
NEAR BATTLE OVER
LIBRARIAN CHOICE
Two Factions Develop in
Discussion Over Filling
Vacancy.

Possibility of formation of two
permanent factions in the Khan
elected Indianapolis school board
was seen In division today over
appointment of a city librarian to
succeed Charles E. Rush, resigned.
Break up of the old majority fac
ton, composed of President The
odore F. Vonnegut, Charles w.
Kern and Mrs. Lillian Sedwick
was apparent in the line up of Mrs.
Sedwick with Fred Kepner and
Lewis E. Whiteman, minority
members. There have been no
factional differences this year.
The split is understood to have
been brewing since the first of the
year when attempts to prevent re-
election of Vonnegut as president
failed at the last minute.
Denies Favoring Wilcox
Mrs. Sedwick and Kepner are re-
ported to be agreed on recommen-
dalton Wy the library committee, of
which shey and Whiteman are
members, or appointment of DR..
Edwin Mead Wilcox, Chicago, as
librarian.
Whiteman today denied he favored
appointment Of Wilcox, adding he
was not aware the committee had
made a selection.
Vonnegut and Kern are under
stood to favor appointment of Luz
ther L. Dickerson, executive secre-
tary board on adult education,
American Library Association, Chi
cago.
Mrs. Sedwick left on a two weeks
vacation trip Wednesday after an
anonymous announcement was made
that Wilcox positively would be
nominated.
With Mrs. Sedwick absent, vote
on librarian Tuesday night would
give Whiteman the balance of
power, with the chance to cause a
two to two split in the vote, or to
throw his vote to Vonnegut and
Kern.
''Dr. Wilcox will not be appointed
librarian If have anything to say
about it," Vonnegut said today.
HE is an excellent botanist and
agriculturist, but is practically in
experienced as a librarian. He was
not invited to appear before the
board, but came here as a job
seeker.
Praises Rush'S System
II am absolutely opposed to his
appointment because believe he is
utterly unqualified for the position,
and his appointment would, be-
lieve, result in breakdown within
six months Of the morale and sys-
tenn Rush has worked ten years to
create"
Rush's resignation is effective Aug.
1, when he will become Columbia
University Teachers College Ii
brarian. The local position pays
$500 year.

PETERS WARNS
DEMOCRATS OF
C. 0. P. ATTACK
Urges Party to Expose
CorruptioniStS' Appeal to
Women Voters.

BIZ Times Special
Upton, Ind, July ga call for
Democratic precinct organizations
to meet and repel the whispering
poison attack of the 'corruptionists'
and their hirelings" was voiced by
Democratic State Chairman R. Earl
Peters when he bitterly arraigned
Republican State candidates in adj
dressing a Ninth District organiza-
ton meeting here Wednesday night.
Indiana political history presents
no parallel to the audacious attempt
now being made by Republican
managers to influence approval by
women voters of the record of cor
ruption written under their leader
ship" Peters declared.
Their open boasts that by releas-
ing the whispering squads they can
monopolize the voting strength of
Indiana women is an insult so re-
voting as to merit rebuke from
every SelfArespecting citizen in the
commonwealth.
May Import Speakers
1.-THE reported strategy of these
managers contemplates importation
of high-salaried workers from other
States who are to hold meetings
under the auspices of respectable
women's organizations. Their as
signment is to appeal to passion and
prejudiceS-to engender hatred, ar
ray friend against friend-all to di-
vert attention from governmental
debauchery and save a corrupt po-
litical machine that has disgraced
Indiana"
"The audacity of this gesture, -
Peters said, will be apparent to
Indiana women who know:
THAT the same leadership that
has been repeatedly denounced by
Attorney General Gilliom, Scion j.
Carter, Thomas d. Adams and other
stalwart Republicans, is still in con-
troll Of the party machinery.
Raps Senator Robinson
THAT the Republican candidate
for United States Senator CSen-
ator Arthur r. Robinson) delivers
speeches under the auspices of the
Anti-Saloon League while his law
firm represents more bootleggers in
the higher courts than all other
indianapolis law firms combined;
THAT the influences denounced
as corrupt by prominent Republicans
prevented the nomination of Fred
erick K. Lands for Governor;
THAT no nominee on the Re-
publican State ticket has joined the
Republican press in a demand for
the Governors resignation, but all
either openly or tacitly have en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed his admin
istration;
Many Republicans Indicted
"That a long list of Republicans
from Governor to councilmen have
been indicted for crimes without
a word of condemnation from the
Republican candidates who now
solicit the suffrage Of the electorate.
while no informed person be-
heves that the leadership de-
nounced as incurably corrupt by
Republicans of the type of Gilliom,
Carter, Adams and Lands can
dominate the uor1ey1 VOTERS Of In
DIANA" Peters said, "our duty is
none the less imperative.
"Our precinct organizations must
be so alert and loyal that they
promptly will meet and repel the
whispering poison attack of the
corruptionists and their hirelings.
To perfect that character of or
ganization is the most important
task now before US"
