5000 PILOTS DUE
At AIR JUBILEE
First Organized Reunion of
AviatorS to Be Held in
Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY (P).-The Nations
airplane pilots, whose achievements
have written an embryonic yet epochal
chapter of aviation history, are to hold
their first organization reunion.
Six thousand Army, Navy and COM
mercial pilots have been invited to
attend a nine-day jubilee at Fairfax
airport next month. An air circus and
exposition of nearly 200 airplane manu-
facturers will provide the background.
Oficials are preparing for a crowd of
100000 or more during the combined
circus, exposition and reunion, Septem-
Der 81 to 20 inclusive. Leading flyers
from this country and abroad are
expected.
The Air Corps Reserve Officers Asso-
citation, sponsors of the event, has
arranged an air circus to include all
varieties of stunning and aerial aero
battles, bombing maneuvers, races,
glider flights and demonstrations of
Army, Navy and commercial planes.
Three circus tents, with 10000
square feet of space, are to house air
craft exhibits. It will be the country'S
first outdoor aeronauticS show. EX-
hibitors may land and wheel their
planes into exhibit booths without first
dismantling them.
The reception committee includes
Col. Arthur G. Goebel, chairman; Capt
Eddie Rickenbacker, Col. Clarence
Chamberlin, Eddie Stinson, William S.
Brock and George Haldeman.
Capt. Rickenbacker has personally
invited every living World War ace.

DAYTON, Ohio (P).-As safe as

DEVICE GETS SOUND
OF PLANE AT NIGHT
Inventor Claims Mechanism Can
Detect Approach Of Machine
and Also Locate let.

HERMONVILLE-LES France
@.-A French inventor claims to have
solved the problem of detecting the ap-
proach of an airplane at night.
A, Van Hollebeke says his invention
not only does that, but also locates 1t.
It is accomplished, he says, by means
of a mechanism formed of two parts,
one raised 400 yards high by means of
an observation balloon, and the other
fixed to the ground.
The raised mechanism consists OF
hollow, revolving drum, into one side OF
which is fixed a concave sound reflector.
Revolving at 100 turns minute, this
drum is synchronized with a revolving
plate fixed to the mechanism on the
ground, and as the sound-refiector is
turned toward the approaching air
plane the exact direction Is indicated at
each revolution.
Another mechanism whose working Is
a secret indicates the distance away OF
the airplane. The inventor claims that
a plane can be detected 20 minutes
before reaching a city and its height
and direction so exactly known as to
nut It in time of war at the mercy OF
q few shots from an anti-aircraft gun.

TUNNEL |SPLANNED
TO AID RESEARCH
Aircraft Corporation to Build
Huge Structure Equipped
With Laboratory.

BALTIMORE, August 24.-The larg-
est privately owned wind tunnel In the
United States will be erected here. ac-
cordlng TO an announcement this week
by the Berliner-Joyce Aircraft Corpora
ton. Contract for the Construction of
the tunnel, together with a brick and
steel building, SO by 100 feet, which
VIII house a complete aerodynamical
laboratory, was awarded this week.
Both the building and tunnel were
designed by the research staff of the
corporation, under the direction of Will
nam n. Miller, head of the department.
Includes Observation Chambers,
The building will contain two large
observation chambers, one being above
the structure, offering space for re-
search personnel, 1t was said.
The wind tunnel, which is of the
double-return, open-jet type, will en-
body many new features. Principal
among these is the elimination of vanes,
honeycombs and other forms of air
straighteners. The elimination of such
straighteners will permit of an estimat-
ed air speed Of 120 miles an hour at the
open Jet of the tunnel.
The tunnel fan will be operated by
an electric motor of 25O-horsepower
capacity. Power for this will be OBJ
tanned from an electric Substation with
a 300-horsepower motor generator set
for the generation of direct current
This equipment will be housed in a
building adjoining the main structure.
Other Features Contemplated.
Later it is intended to install COM
plete equipment for the testing of model
propellers and for the determination Of
the mutual interference between pro-
pellerS and bodies.
A complete research program is now
being formulated by the research staff
and among the first items are contem-
plated tests in connection with the de-
velopment of a new form of lateral
control, an auxiliary device for increas-
ing the effectiveness of the horizontal
tail surfaces under spinning conditions
and complete research in connection
with the spinning of airplanes.

BALTIMORE, August 24.-Only about
S out of every 100 aviation students

Walter j. Shaffer, who flies one of the
mail planes between here and New

The reason more students do not
make good pilots, he said, is that train
ing is expensive and many potential
flyers fall by the wayside, due to lack
of funds. Many of those who do get
licenses, he added, are not adapted to
flying and consequently fail to succeed

Mr.. Shaffer told of the difficulties

days, he explained, the soldier-aviator
had orders in time of storm to go

a pilot under similar conditions reads:
Go over, around, under or through"
Low-hanging fogs often force a pilot
down, Mr.. Shaffer said, but the recent
widespread use Of a radio beacon" on
mail planes has counteracted this. The
beacon enables a pilot to keep on his
path through fogs, he explained, even
though he can't see where he is going.
