tile Aviator
BY kIRkE L. SIMPSON
Associated Press Staff Writer

LANGLEY FIELD. Va, Nov. -
Rl-It's an accepted axiom of avia-
ton, particularly of military avia-
ton, that flying is a young mans
game. The advancing years seem
to breed caution in the breasts OF
even the most daring youngsters. and
caution has little to do with the work
of an army pilot aspiring for ace
honors, be it in peace or var
On occasion, however, age notably
fails to wither the desire to be up
and doing in the air. Witness the
written record of Lieut.. Col. Clarence
c. Culver. Army Air Corps. COM
mandant at Langley Field, Va, and
still about as lively a pilot as Is to
be found despite his So years.
Since he crossed the half century
mark, Langley's "0ld Man" has done
more than 500 hours ia air, all but
81 hours Of it in solo flight and 1853
hours going into cross country ex-
cursions in all kinds Of weather and
any old type Of ship. The years sit
very lightly on Culver, ever in looks.
His stocky, broad shouldered, deep
chested figure spells physical fitness
that even today would put many of
the youngsters of his command 20
shame.
Culver. with a University Of Ne
braska degree in his pocket, crashed
the gate Of army life in 1898 for the
Spanish war as an enlisted volunteer
regular. He was a quartermaster
sergeant in the third cavalry Of
which he was to become a regular
officer later on.
Regular army life began for Gull
yer in 1901 as a second lieutenant Of
cavalry but he bad begun studying
up the then wholly new thing of ra-
do and in 1907 switched to the Sig
nal Corps as a radio specialist, set
ting up the Corrigidor Island and
Fort Mills. p. /. stations and also
doing a little work on a British wire
less plant in Singapore. He got a
first taste Of aviation at IN interna-
tional meet in Chicago in 1911 deal
ing particularly with development of
barographse, but when the war came
in 1917 he jumped to aviation and
reached the temporary rank Of col
onel in that branch before the ar
mistice. His permanent transfer TO
aviation as one Of its senior officers
came in 1920 and then began a per-
sonal experience in flying that has
piled up an amazing number Of hours
in air for this mighty active execu-
tive OF the lusty baby branch OF
Uncle Sans fighting team.
Culver was solemnly warned some
time ago that he did any further fly
ing at his own risk. He was getting
too old for itu nder army standards.
His answer has been practically to
double the time he spends in the air.

DEFENDANTS CONCEPTION
OF LAW is GIVEN JOLT

When Frank Jennings, colored claim
ing to be minister of Richmond, Va,
came to Police Court to answer four
traffic charges yesterday he brought
with him a conception of law as per-
sonified in the feminine gender. When
he left after being given $40 in fines
by Judge Gus A. Schuldt, he was shak-
ing his head in wonderment at the
fickleness of Dame Law.
Jennings was arrested by Policeman
F. Antonellia of the tenth precinct for
passing street car, operating with
out a permit, using dead tags and
failing to show registration card.
The self-styled preacher claimed he
was 80 feet behind the street car when
arrested, and volunteered the informa-
ton that the traffic act requires motor
lists to stop Is feet behind cars.
II would not tell an untruth, your
honor" Jennings said. Il believe in
law and am willing to let her take her
course with me"
Thereupon Judge Schuldt fined him
$25 for no permit, SIS for passing the
street car. and accepted his personal
bond on the other two charges.

"You see," said Whiting, "our boys

about the time of Christ, little way
I'D the road, and when we dug it UP
we found all this stuff, indicating with

think it is a new craze. But look al

The old knife had an iron blade

Greyhound racing must have beer

Roman vase, was pieced together By
one of the boys who is studying the
history of Roman Britain. We gave
him spadeful of earth to pick out the
bits and he had it before him for three
months ebfore he puzzled it out"

painless" Taxes Devised.
Legislators, the report adds, care
always on the alert to discover new
sources of revenue and accordingly a
tax which may be levied indirectly on
industry, thereby being invisible to the
public and hence painless, furnishes a
most popular means for providing in
come. One of the types of industry
especially subject to the indirect tax is
insurance, but whether the tax is placed
on the premium receipts of insurance
or is levied through special licenses and
fees on the agents or representatives Of
the insurance company, it constitutes
an indirect tax on the policyholders.
The insurance business IS cooperative
in it's very nature and hidden tax
finally falls on the policyholderS either
by decreased policy dividends or by
increased rates"

-Schoolboys of this old village in Kent
need no special urging to study ancient
history. They have it in their own
back yards. So much of it, in fact,
that they now are engaged in restoring
and tabulating more than 1000 ancient

town.
The restoring is being done under
the guidance of an archeologist, who
at the same time teaches the school

The village has set aside an ancient
Jacobean house in Water lane as the
town museum and the school children
vie with one another for the privilege

help in the work of restoration.
There is none of the formal museum
