FLIES 5000 HOURS
IN LAST II YEARS
Frank r. Yager Has Spent Twelfth
of His Life in Air Since
November, 1917.

Frank r. Wager, one of the Nations
leading air veterans, who joined the air
mail service in this city in 1920, when
the lines were still under government
operation, has spent one-twelfth of his
life in the air since November. 1917.
One month, day and night, of each
year, Yager spends flying and in the
past IL years he has amaSSed the tre-
mendous flying time of 5000 hours. He
is as much at home in the sky at night
as in the day, for one fourth of his total
flying time was run up by night flying.
Yager started his career as pilot in
the Army at Kelly Field. Texas. where
he made his first flight. He later
became an instructor at Carlston and
Door fields, and after two years of
teaching rockies to fly he was dis
charged after the close of war.
He then bought plane and barn
stormed in the vicinity of Denver,
Colo, for two years, operating an aerial
taxi service, giving exhibitions and do
my any other odd jobs of flying that
presented Themselves.
He joinrd the air mail in 1920 and
when the government went out of
business as an air mail operator joined
one of the contract air mail companies
and continued in the air mail service.
For eight years he has flown the Chi
cago-O Omaha, the Omaha Cheyenne
and the Cheyenne-Salt Lake City air
mail routes, covering the long Western
routes day in and day out, week after
week, month after month and year after
year. He now flies the Cheyenne-Salt
Lake mail planes of the transcontinen-
tai line for Boeing Air Transport.

AIR AND AUTO SAFETY
COMPARED IN CAMPAIGf.

The safety of airplanes as compared
with automobiles is being emphasized
by the Automobile Club of Southern
California In a campaign to reduce au-
tomobile accidents.
The club has pointed out that while
an automobile accident may be expected
for each 10000 miles of travel, one air
transport line in this country has oper-
ated its planes nearly 100000 miles
without an accident. The club has
pointed out that one reason for the
comparative safety of the airplane is
the fact that the planes are kept in per-
feet condition and the pilots take no
foolish chances.
Pilots OF all the large operating COM
panies never stunt with passenger
rying airplanes," the club pointed out.
There is no occasion for it. as their
business is to get their passengers to a
given destination on scheduled time"
In closing the appeal to motorists to
reduce the hazards of ground travel,
the club asks: do we autoistS want to
admit that the airplane Is safer than
the altonaobile2"

FLYERS WARNED TO AV0I[
FIVE WEATHER STATIONS
Danger of Colliding With Wire
Attached to Kites and Balloons
Disclosed by Bureau.

All airplane pilots are warned by tn
Weather Bureau to avoid five upper al.
weather stations, at which captive bal
looms and kites are used to carry re-
cording instruments aloft. There is
serious danger of colliding with The
wires and it is suggested that pilots
leave a clear I0-mile radius around the
stations.
The observatories are located at
Broken Arrow, Okla: Due West, S. C.;
Glendale, N OAK; Groesbeck, Tex, and
Royal Center, Ind.
Work is carried on at these stations
daily at irregular hours, observations
being made by means of kites when
there is sufficient wind to support them
and by balloons when the wind is very
light Both kites and balloons are at
tached to very small piano steel wire.
at times reaching attitudes above two
miles. the record being four and one
fourth miles.
Although the kites and balloons can
be seen in clear weather, they are. Of
course. hidden in cloudy weather. TIL

ger. cannot be seen at all any appre
ciable distance even in clear weather.
