SLOTS ON
PLANE WORK

The Navy Is expected to adopt
automatic wing slots for all It's
planes as a safety device as re-
suit of their successful operation In
a real life" test yesterday at the
Capital airport when two naval
aviators glided safely from a tail
spin.
Lieut.. N. M. Kendell and Aviation
Metalsmith George. u. S. N, left
the Anacostia Naval Air Station
about noon and short while after
they were compelled to make a
forced landing az the Capital air
port, a commercial enterprise where
the horse show grounds used to be.
The gas line was c.ogged up, it was
discovered. They went up into the
air again, and the motor stalled.
The plane turned into tail spin
and as it did so the wing slots,
known technically as Handley Page
deflectors. automatically opened, and
the spin averted. Instead of crash
ing to their death the aviators suf-
fered only a slight shaking up.

AUTO N|AGNATE Is
ON RUN, SAYS
FORBES
BY b. g. FORBES

DETROIT, Dec. 19.---If YOU put
home life above success and want
to enjoy an easy, comfortable
existence, don't aspire and want
to become a high placed automo.
bile executive.
Here are glimpses ! have OBJ
tained into the life led by such
men.
j.. d. Mooney. president Of the
General Motors Export Company,
although a through-and- through
American, has to live large part
of the year in his English home
in order to be nearer the scenes
OF export sales.
G. r. Kettering. the genius who
heads General Motors extraordi-
narily important research division.
has his home in Dayton. although
the research laboratories are 10.
Gated in Detroit. Moreover. he
has to do a lot of travelling in the
course of year.
Just Keeps Going
Richard III. Grant. admittedly
one of the very foremost general
sales managers in America, who
is given quite a share of the
credit for the phenomenal expan.
sion in Chevrolet sales. covers
practically the whole country In
his very frequent travels. Not.
withstanding that Chevrolet head
quarters are in this city. Mr..
Grant still retains his home in
Dayton, from whence he came.
You are just as likely to meet
A. p. Sloan in Detroit as in
New York. The president OF
General Motors spends. as a rule.
every second week in Detroit or
surrounding territory. His main
office Is. of course. in the Gen.
eral Motors Building, New York.
His home is down on Long
Island, at Great Neck.
Fred Fisher. founder of Fisher
bodies, and now a pillar in Gen.
eral Motors, has his main home
here, but his duties involve very
frequent visits to New York, so
that he has TO maintain an apart
ment there. Both Mr.. Sloan and
Mr.. Fisher are called "commut-
ers' by the railway employees
operating the crack trains be-
tween Detroit and New York.
One Of the Biggest
G. s. Mott. who became identi-
fled with General Motors before
General Motors itself was or
ganized, so to speak. and who has
allowed his initial important i'm
vestment In the company to multi
ply and multiply does not have
his home In Detroit. although
nearly all his duties revolve around
General Motors headquarters here.
Mr.. Motifs home is in Flint. for
which city he has done much and
OF which he has been the mayor.
Mr.. Mott. / am told. Is the largest
individual holder of General Motors
stock. ya
Pierre du Pont. now on leave of
absence as chairman of General
Motors. devotes most of his time
when on active duty between New
York and Detroit and Wilmington.
where the du Pont family has
lived for more than a century.
ChrysIer on Run
Walter P. Chrysler hustles from
one scene of operations to another.
One day you will find him at the
Chrysler main plant. the next at
the Dodge plant. the next at his
main offices in New York.
John N. WHY'S devotes his time
mainly between Toledo. where his
gigantic works are located. and
his offices in New York. Mr..
WHY'S has home in New York
and another on the shores of Long
Island.

Of the mighty Goslin, who slipped a

But Simmons il not alone in his
drive on GOslin's honors. Lou Geh-
rir Of the Yankees has been steadily
climbing and is now only two points

Coach Holmes of
La Feria Now On

One Of the new Valley high school
hootball coaches has appeared "a the
scene and Is looking forward 10 the
time when Old King Pigskin will pull
ms magical disappearing act on the
Horsehide Heavers.
Inc coach referred TO is A. j.
holmes OF La Feria who is well
known to all followers of Southwest
ern Conference football. He was a
guard on the formidable Aggie aggre-
cation Of last year and was awarded
circumference honors BY many OF the
outstanding sport writer's Of the
Southwest.
Holmes served two years under the
redoubtable Dana Y. Bible and prev
lous 70 that he learned about football
from a backfield outlook az John
Iarleton. He tore up turf and rant
ed about considerably in a football
way there for four years. One OF
ms cohorts in doing the Tarleton
backfield chores was Coach Martin Of
Weslaco.
Prospects for a good team nc La
Feria loom in the offing. Undoubt-
eddy, Holmes will be able to impart
a goodly portion Of his football
knowledge to his fledgings. Only a
small number Of the fair squad col
lected last year at La Feria will be
lost. it has been said. A valuable
addition will be a new man who hal
training under "Puny" Wilson at AL
len Academy. With this new man
and most Of the old squad back, indi-
cations point to a lively session for
the opposition.
Arrangements for an ambitious
schedule r under way.
