straight flying. Acrobatic flying should
be left to experts or the military
services.
The transcontinental races were an
even more remarkable demonstration Of
what can be done by pilots who are
careful and know their work. The
planes were generally flown with heavy
loads and close to the limit Of their
speed, which is hard on motors. There
was not single fatality, although some
of them had forced landings on ground
where it would be difficult to bring a
plane down. There Is no doubt that
planes have been improved to a point
of complete structural safety, and also
that with reasonable care on the part
of the pilot they are as safe as any
other means of transportation.
Nothing so annoys the pilot who has
devoted his life to aviation and who
wishes to build up in the public mind
confidence in aircraft as foolish flying.
It is criminal for careless and ignorant
pilots to take up paBsengers. The av-
erage person knows nothing of airplanes
or pilots and will often intrust his life
to a pilot who has no right to ny any
one but himself. When passenger
is killed in such circumstances, 1t IS
very seldom that any one but other
pilots realize that it was inexperience
or recklessness which caused the crash.

FLYING GUIDEPOSTS
WILL BE GIVEN TEST
Illuminated Markings on Roof Of
Department of Commerce Build
ing to Be Tried Out.

Members of the national airway
marking committee, which is seeking
the establishment of national system
of guide posts for the aviator, will fly
over Washington tomorrow night to
observe new types of Illuminated roof
markings on the roof of the Depart
ment of Commerce Building.
The committee members are to be
taken up soon after dark in an Army
Fokker transport plane from Boiling
Field. After observing the markers
from various attitudes the committee
will recommend any changes which
the experimental installations. and
another flight will be made later in the
week.
The committee has been authorized
to select a type of marker for day and
night use which will be designated as
the uniform standard for the Nation.
The Department of Commerce roof
markers will be illuminated by flood
lights and by electric light bulb out
lines. Both methods will be observed
independently under different degrees
Of lighting intensity.
The markings in use are chrome
yellow on a black background, which
has proved the best combination for
visibility under all conditions of
weather 1t has been found that a
large circle with an arrow pointing to
the nearest landing field can be seen
by daylight from height of 5000 feet.
The committee is headed by. Col.
Harry H. Blee, chief of the airport
section Of the Bureau of Aeronautics
Department of Commerce, and includes
Capt H. M McClelland, Army Air
Corps; Lieut.. A.. P. Flagg, Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics; Woody Hockaday OF

81 U. S. AIRPLANES
ENTERED FOR SHOW
Craft Manufactured in Ia States
to Be Displayed in Inter-
national Exhibition.
BY DON BROWN.

SiXty-two airplanes manufactured in
IA States of the Union already have
been entered for the international air
craft show, to be held in Chicago,
December / to 9, L. K. Bell, secretary
of the Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce of America, said today.
Many more exhibits may be ar
ranged before the entries close" Mr..
Bell continued, but even now there
are enough to make it the largest show
of aircraft ever held in this country.
"Thirty-four airplane manufacturers
are to exhibit the 62 planes, II avia-
ton engine manufacturers have entered
81 engines and 65 aviation accessory
and material concerns have signed up
for 81 booths in which to show their
products.
PLANES ranging from light, single
scatter, low-powered sport models to
the huge tri-motored passenger and
freight transport ships of over 1000
horsepower will be shown.
1T was first planned to hold the
entire show in the Coliseum in Chi
cago," went on Mr.. Bell. But it has
already spread beyond that. We,
therefore, have arranged for the use
| of the First Regiment Armory, across
/ the alley from the Coliseum. Awning
projections will be stretched so as to
connect the two buildings.
States where airplanes or engines
are manufactured and which will be
represented in the show are California,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Washington, Ohio,
Colorado, Pennsylvania, Missouri Kan
sas, New York. Michigan, Maryland,
New Jersey and Illinois. Others may
be added to the list Soon."
Immediately after the Chicago ex-
hibition many aviation experts and en-
thusiasts are expected to fly from Chi
cago to Washington, where the Inter-
national Civil Aeronautics Conference
will be held, from December IL to IA.
Delegates from 54 foreign countries
have been invited. The conference
will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary Of the first flight of powered
| plane. Kitty Hawk. where the Wrights
achieved this flight, will be visited by
the delegates.

an airplane coming off. 1t is unheard
OF Tor this to occur in ordinary flying
with plane of reputable manufacture;
If 1t happened it would ruin the reputa-
ton of the builder of the plane. Only
recently, however, two or three planes
have apparently disintegrated In the air
when rolled or put to some other un-
usual strain which they we're not sup
posed to withstand. A pilot who takes
a light commercial plane up and dives
it at full speed straight down with
motor open should expect structural
failure. There are only a few CONNER
cial machines in the country which
would Withstand such strain, and
none should be used for this purpose.
Something must be done to check
inexperienced stunt flying If aviation
is not to be retarded. More and more
planes are being used, more pilots are
being turned out of flying schools every
day. 1t is natural that in learning
to fly after they have been turned loose
by the instructors some of these pilots
should have accidents, but they can
be minimized, just as automobile acci-
dents may be made less frequent, by
careful driving. If pilot is taught
the limitations of his plane, and If he

no reason why he should not in time
become an experienced flyer and be able
to get around the country in safety.
The recent Ford tour and the trans
continental races were the best proofs
in recent years of the safety of modern
flying. There has never been serious
accident in the Ford tours. Planes
have had forced landings because of
engine trouble; landing gears or wheels
have broken and tipped them over on
their nose; but repairs have been made
and the planes have gone on. In the
Ford tours the routes have often been
over mountains and through bad wealth
er, but the pilots have come through
safely. The planes have been of all
types, with all kinds Of motors. The
success of these tours has been a strik-
ing demonstration of what can be done
in safety with modern planes in

DINGER BECOMES CAPTAIN
Boiling Field Lieutenant Promoted
in Air Corps.

First Lieut.. Harry A. Dinger, Army
Air Service, stationed at Boiling Field,
has just received his commission as
captain in the Air Corps. Capt. Dinger
is regarded as one of the most skillful
transport plane pilots in the Air Corps
he recently returned from trip around
the United States as pilot of the big
Fokker transport plane in which Rep
resentative James of Michigan visited
the Army flying fields of the Nation on
behalf of the House committee OH mill

Capt. Dinger was born in Pennsyl-
vania June 81. 1886, and was commits
stoned first lieutenant in the aviation
section of the Signal Corps November
81, 1917. He was transferred TO the
air service July /, 1920.

Air Mail Planes

Parts of Machines

American air mail planes, in
addition to carrying 210 tons Of
mail, or 1,250,000 letters, each
month, are carrying $500 express
shipments. ranging from orchids
to 200-pound machine parts.
There are now 102 scheduled

planes nose-dive; many spin in or slip
to the ground.
If newspapers would make 1t plain to
their readers that many little mishaps
are not crashes es"--and I know that
more and more newspapers are realizing
the 0ifference-they would help flying
great deal Many Of these accidents are
unavoidable and not particularly dam
gerous. When gust of wind gets on
the tail of a plane, resulting in
ground loop, or when the wheels strike
hidden hole and the plane noses over,
these are not crashes. Seldom is the
pilot OF his passenger injured. AS planes
Evening star., 1928-11-04

improve and landing fields become more
numerous these accidents will diminish.
Real crashes are generally complete
washouts, both for the machine and
those in it. and they are caused as
rule by the fault Of the pilot. Only
small percentage of all accidents can
be attributed to the engine or the plane.
When pilot stunts close to the ground
or puts commercial plane through
stunts which it is not supposed to stand,
only one result, and that tragedy, can
be anticipated. If the plane stands the
strain it is luck, for 1t Is generally

LONELINESS HAUNTING
FRANCES AGING "TIGER''
Clemenceau, Once Nations Hero,
Rarely Visited by officials
of Republic He Long Served.

PARIS LP).-Georges Clemenceau,
who has wrecked many cabinets but
won the country's' gratitude in the war,
is bitterly conscious of great loneli-
ness in the evening of his life.
When his sister died recently. friends
gathered at his Paris home and one OF
them asked:
"How many official visits do you re-
ceive? How many ministers, now many
marshals call on you?"
The Tiger began, in what all thought
an evasive way: ~
1T sleep little; old men sleep little.
Often at 2 or 8 o'clock in the
morning, I awake. I would be bored
in bed. awake. so get up. I come out
here, with difficulty. for sometimes my
legs go back on me. and here, in the
silence, talk with the dead"
But how many marshals?" insisted
his friend.
"It is during those night hours"
went on the aged man who so often
governed France. "alone with the
ghosts, dear ghosts, that have written
my memories of Claude Monet. All!
There come many of the dead, at night.
into this room.
THAT is my destiny. see them go.

them"
Then, facing the one who was e
anxious to know who remembered h

Disabled American Veterans.

A committee representing the chap
ters of the Disabled American Vet
Grams in this city, and consisting of
Comdr. Fred Kochli and Past Comdr.
George Phillips, distributed 1850
Christmas gifts to the former service
men who are patients in the hospi-
tails here. The gifts consisted OF
cigarettes, combs. shaving sets and
other useful articles.
The District of Columbia Depart
ment of the D. A. v. co-operated with
several other organizations in the pro-
grams of entertainments that have
been given at the veterans hospitals
during the holidays.
National Comdr. Millard W. Rice
OF Minneapolis has notified the Wash
ington office of the D. A. V. that he
will come to Washington for the
Hoover Inauguration and lead the or
ganization'S section in the parade
March 4.
Those in charge of the parade have
ruled that each of the national vet
erans associations will be limited to
20 men each in the division of the
pageant given over to men who have
served in the different wars This was
the plan that was followed in the
oAuAllS 1uIlC1ol WllSll ~ was AedI cu
that large groups of veterans massed
together might seriously detract from
the effectiveness of the event.
Under the plans adopted for the
inauguration each delegation of vet
Grams must be in uniform and will
carry the organizations colors with
an armed guard. The D. A. v. has
decided that half of it's allotment will
go to national officers and the second
10 places will be assigned to the
representatives of the District of Co.
lumbia Department.
A subcommittee of the veterans
committee of the House has been in
structed to report by the middle of
January its findings on the johnson
bill, recently introduced, which covers
the legislative program of the D. A. "
and other former service groups.
The proposal for medical corps
in the Veterans Bureau is being han
died by Representative Ed Irwin OF
Illinois and special subcommittee
while the matter of consolidation OF
various Federal relief agencies for vet
eranS will be covered by bill by
Representative Royal C. johnson OF
South Dakota, which goes to the COM
mittee on expenditures of the House
Other measures OF deep interest tC
the disabled are the Bingham and
Grail bills, which propose to clarity
the intention of Congress on the
Tyson Fitzgerald bill for the retire
ment of former emergency officers.
Having been admitted to the Com
munity Chest, the District of Column
bia Department of the D. A. v. has
assigned George Phillips as its rep
resentative in the negotiations with
the chest officials who are consider
ing the budget for the next year which
has been presented by the organized
disabled.
Until the funds from the chest be-
come available the activities of the
D. A. w. here will be supported by
the returns from the Forget-Me-Not
campaign, which was conducted last
