sion truck refused to give Crown

Monferrato in a little while, and no
means of transport was available, he
set out to walk the short distance

and the Crown Prince, who is Il
colonel in the army, stopped it and
asked the driver for ride as far

Coloneps name.
My name doesn t matter" said
the Prince, "but ! can assure you
you won't get into any trouble with
your superiors if you take me
aboard.
The soldier insisted that he must
know the Colonel s name before he
took him aboard.

MOT0RIST CAN
LEARN TO FLY
IN SHORT TIME

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-"Any'
body who can drive an automobile
can learn to fly!'
Thus Clarence D. Chamberlin dis
pells the popular idea that sue
ccssful air pilot must have superior
physical and mental equipment along
with steel nerves.
Chamberlin, hero of the New
Yorkto- Germany flight, now con
sultant on aviation to the City of
New York, expresses the belief, in
an article written for the current
North American Review, that
thousands of Americans would be
flying their own planes today ex-
cept for lack of confidence in their
own qualifications.
The rigid demands made Of mill
tarv flyers during the World War
have given the ordinary man feel
flying, Chamberlin says. But he
points out that while less than II
per cent of the war time candidates
for the flying corps ever became
pilots, nearly 93 per cent of the ap-
plicants who apply for a federal
flying license today are able to
qualify physically.
Boys Make Best Pilots
"Thc man who wants to use a
plane as he would an aut obilc-
to 60 somewhere quickly and com
fortably-needs no more special
physical qualifications than he
would need to drive an automo mobile, -
he says. He ought to be able to
see and hear and judge distances,
but so should the man behind a
steering wheel. In these days of con-
gested street traffic, it is question
if the man handicapped on any of
these scores is not better off in the
air than on the ground. -
Boys in their teens today have
the making Of better flyers than
adults, Chamberlin has discovered,
because they have grown up in an
age when flying is more or less com
monplace, and So do not regard the
"irplane as a thing to inspire awe,
as do their elders. They learn to
fly as naturally as their fathers
learned to drive AUTOMOBILES.
g! have taken up youngsters Of
IL to l6 who got the hang of FLYING
within a very few minutes" he
says. cit often takes hours of per-
spring and despairing effort on the
part of the instructor before an
adult acquires the same knowledge. -
Within ten years, his North Ameri
can Review article predicts, the
small privately flown plane will pc
50 common that the man who has
never flown will be in the min
Ority.
"Of the $500 planes scheduled to
be produced in the country this
year, fully one-third will be private
ly owned,' he points out. "There
is no question that small planes,
capable of making 100 miles an
hour, carrying one, two or three
persons and selling for from $500
to $4,000 and lower will be produced
in profitable numbers and that the
American public will buy and fly
them. -

Musical Instrument Found
on Farm Used by Wins
low Youths.
BY United Press Leased Wire

RIVERSIDE, Calf, Sept. PA
homemade banjo, no longer in
existence, will be one of the most
pertinent pieces of evidence against
Gordon Stewart Northcott and his
mother, Mrs. Sarah Louise North
colt, when they are placed on trial
here for the asserted conduct of a
murder farm near Corona, authori-
ties announced.
Constable A. B. Chambers, of
Pomona, introduced the musical in
strument today when he made de
tailed report of his interview yes
terday with Sanford Clark, -, whose
tale of the axe-slayings of four Los
Angeles county youths caused a
grand jury Indictment to be re
turned against the Northcotts.
This banjo was made by Louis
Winslow, 10, Of Pomona, and was
carried by him the night he disap-
peared with his brother, Nelson, II.
The banjo never was mentioned
publicly until today when Constable
Chambers said Young Clark had
described the instrument minutely
in establishing the identification Of
the Winslow boys.
'Clark had no way of knowing
about the banjo unless he saw it,
Chambers said. 1T furnishes ire
futablc proof that the Winslow
bows were on the Northcott ranch.
His description Of the instrument
tallies exactly with that Of friends
of the Winslow boys.
This definite indication that
Clark told the truth about the Win
Slow boys would indicate that his
entire brutal story Of the murder
farm was true
1t was on Clark 5 word and on
physical evidence found to sub
stantiate it that the Riverside
county grand jury indicted North
colt for the murders Of the Winslow
boys, an unidentified Mexican and
Walter Collins. Mrs. Northcott was
named with her son in the Staying
of Young Collins.
Clark maintained all of the youths
We're subjected to degenerate at
tacks by Young Northcott before
they were butchered with an axe.
Clark said he, himself, had been
abused by Northcott.
Riverside officials were enroute
north today to obtain extradition

colts from Canada.
