SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. Wp)
With the aid of sports editors of
client papers from the Canadian
border to the Mexican line, the
United Press today presents first
and second all Pacific coast foot
ball teams for the current season.
Selections of the various editors
show that in their opinion the two
best teams that could line up on a
coast gridiren would be as follows:
First team-Northon California,

Bob Norton of California and
Francis Tappaan of the University
of Southern California arc given
positions on the first team because
Of their consistent and heady play

Harry Ending of st. Mary's and
Donald Muller of Stanford rank
close to the leaders.
George Ackerman of st. Mary's
and Marshall Shields Of Oregon
stood head and shoulders above the
tackles turned out on the coast this
season in the opinion of the sports
writer's. Charles Stout of Oregon
State and Paul Schweglcr of Wash
ington won second team approval.

"Look here!" growled the Fuzzy
FOX to MS wife one day as he sat
slowering in his den thinking how
hungry he was for rabbit. "This
is "A nice thing to say about me;

"Who has been saying anything
about You, my dear'" asked Mrs.
Fox. For though the fuzzy fellow
was Bad Chap his wife seemed
to like him.
"It's in this book" went On the
Fox. ''Look, that's my picture
isn't it:" He showed his wife the
picture in the book. 1t was that
of an angry fox standing Near a
vine on which, high up, was bunch
OF grapes. And beneath the picture
were words saying:
81 don't want them, even if l
could reach them. They're sour
grapes"
'Isn't it funny." giggled Mrs.
Fox.

Frost grapes arc wild Kind that
grow in the woods near the Orange
Ice Mountains and they never get
sweet and ripe until frost comes.
They aren't like other grapes.
So Uncle Wiggily hopped along
until he saw vine on which, high
up, were growing three punches of
frost grapes.
81 ought to have a ladder to pick
thcm," said the rabbit to himself.
"But perhaps if l jump up in the
vine it will hold me until l can get
the grapes. I'm not very good at
climbing but I'll try this"
He managed to get up into the
tangled vine and he was picking
the grapes when, all of a sudden,
he looked down and saw the Fox
coming along, switching his tail.
ooh, dear me! It's all up now!"
thought the rabbit. "That Fox will
pull down this grape vine and me
with il and he'll carry me off to his
! den, What shall / do."
/ Trying to think of a way to save
| himself, Uncle Wiggily snuggled
down among the punches of frost
grapes and kept very still. Nearer
and nearer came the Fox. The Bad
Chap looked up, saw the grapes and
said:
"Ha! Here's that book story! l
suppose that mans around here and
. he thinks III say 'sour grapes SO
lie can make more fun of me. But
no! / won't go near those grapes.
; He shan't catch me again" 50 the
Fox turned around, never giving the
grapes second look for fear he
would have his picture taken, and
back to his den he went. His wife
asked him where the rabbit was.
"IIow should / know" snaried the
I OK, GROSSLY. 81 missed him."
And how Uncle Wiggiiy laughed
.as he picked tho frost grapes,
jumped out of the vine and hoped
home with them. He had been in
the vine all the while but that silly

An increase of over $4,000 in the building permits
issued for November 1923 and November 1929 is the
best indication could ask for regarding conditions
in this city.
In November of last year permits totaed 81 o6O
Last month total of S48,48 in permits was issued.
Thus far 1929 has been hitting hot pace in build
ing activities the total to date being exceeded only in
two previous years each of which had single large
piece OF construction, such the court house. to
swell the total
There is every believe that the half million
mark will be reached and passed before the end of the
year arrives.
Much of this construction has been in homes. There
has been activity also in commercial construction sew
eral new buildings being erected for local firms
Every indication leads to the belief that this activity
is not going to let up for time to come. There
is shortage of dwelling houses in the city and several
more commercial construction jobs are now being
planned
This city is constantly growing and will continue to
grow.

The airmail is making ready for the
Christmas deluge Of business. Reserve
planes, known as Santa Claus Spe-
cials," are being placed at regular inter-
vals along the New York-Miami route
passing through this city and will be
put into service as needed.
The northbound plane from Miami
will load up at that city, Daytona
Beach, where 1t will receive mail from
the spur line service to Orlando, Tampa
and st. Petersburg; Jacksonville, Macon
and Atlanta. A reserve plane will
be available at Jacksonville II neces-
sary.
From Atlanta the regular plane will
proceed North and will be followed by
a reserve plane which will pick up car
goes at Spartanburg, Greensboro ana
Richmond when necessary.
At Richmond the mail will be loaded
into a fresh plane for the last stage
of the trip North. AS many reserve
planes will be maintained at Richmond
as may be necessary to handle trafnc
on the North end Of the line, picking
up mail at Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York.

SOUND TONE SOUGHT
FOR new ALTIMETER
Search Is Made for Unit Which
Will Filter Through Plane
Noises.

LOS ANGELES P).-Search for the
source Of a sound which will filter
through noises aboard an airplane is
being conducted by Leo p. DelsaSSo of
the physics department of the Univer-
Sity OF California, in an effort to per-
feet a precision altimeter.
An altimeter which will accurately
record the height of an airplane over
the ground over which it is flying with
out the celebration needed IN the pres
ent atmospheric altimeterS is one of
the great needs Of aviation.
DelSaSSo, working with funds made
available by the Guggenheim Fund for
the promotion Of aeronauticS, hopes to
develop an acoustic altimeter" which
will measure height by the time it takes
a sound to travel to the ground and
echo back to the airplane.
One of the chief difficulties, DelSasso
found, was the multiplicity Of sounds
aboard aircraft. He was faced with
the necessity Of finding tone entirely
different than any Of those Of aircraft.
This has been accomplished and now
the task is to find the source of such
a sound which will be of sufficient pitch
and intensity to actuate the recording
device.
An acoustic altimeter" would be Of
ineStimable value to aircraft because it
would permit pilots caught In fogs over
unfamiliar territory to know exactly
how high they were.

HANGAR SPRINKLER
STUDY IS PLANNED
Bureau of Standards Will
Conduct Tests on Four
Types of Fires.

Tests of the efficiency of automatic
sprinkler systems in controlling hangar
fires will be undertaken at the Bureau
Of Standards this Winter in a regula-
ton concrete and wooden hangar now
being constructed there. The tests are
expected to settle a controversy over
the requirements Of a proposed code
with respect to the sprinklers.
The national committee on wood util-
i2ation of the Department of Com
merce, which now is making a study OF
the subject of airport structures, is CO.
operating in the work of the fact-find-
ing committee on automatic sprinkler
protection for airplane hangers and Is
constructing the experimental hangar
for this purpose.
Wood, Concrete Hangar.
The hangar, in the Bureau of Stand
ards grounds, will be of wood with a
concrete foundation and floor and will
be 65 by 80 feet, inside dimension, with
an 18-foot clearance between floor and
roof truSSeS. The hangar is to be ready
for tests within six weeks.
Three conferences have been held at
the request of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters to discuss with the
aviation industry the boards proposed
code for the construction and protec-
ton of airports. Two of these confer
enceS were held in this city under the
auspices of the aeronauticS branch OF
the Department of Commerce and one
at Chicago under the auspices Of the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce.
AT all three conferences the industry
objected to the requirements Of the code
with respect to automatic sprinklerS,
as a result of which the national board
has agreed to postpone the promulga-
ton of it's code pending the making Of
a series of tests to determine the effect
iveness Of the sprinkler system.
Committee on Tests.
The committee in charge of the tests
is composed of Col. Harry H. Blee, di-
rector of aeronautic development of the
aeronauticS branch, Department of
Commerce, chairman; w. S. Garland,
Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Depart
ment; r. w. Hendricks, Underwriters
Laboratories; Ira G. Hoagland, Nation
al Automatic Sprinkler Association;
Frank M. Kennedy, Army Air Corps;
w. Laurence lie Page, Aeronautical
Chamber Of Commerce; Nolan D.
Mitchell, Bureau of Standards; H. e.
Newell, National Board of Fire Under
writer's, and Starr Truscott, National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
The Bureau of Standards will fur
nish personnel and instruments. The
tests will include four types of fires
fire from exterior source, fire starting
inside of an airplane wing due to faulty
wiring. fire starting in an airplane
fuSelage due to gasoline leak and fire
starting from gasoline on the hangar
floor.
The committee is In need of airplanes
to be used in conjunction with these
tests and has asked the aeronautical
industry to donate unserviceable planes
for this purpose.

FOG, HELD AID TO AVIATION

descent Lamps, With Better Visibility.

there under the same mechanical con-
ditions without allowing for differences
in the physical character of the two
types Of lighting, it was pointed out.
Conclusions Held Meaningless.
The tests, because of failure to take
into consideration the differences in
the sizes of the luminous surfaces of
the two lights, it is said, resulted in
conclusions which were meaningless in
so far as their practical application
to beacons and other airport lighting
devices is concerned.
The desirability of the type Of red
light produced by neon tubes is demon
Strated by tests made by the Bureau
of Standards of the penetration of
overcast weather conditions by lights of
various colors, which reveal that light
of the longer wave length, in the red
end of the spectrum, pierces misty
atmosphere more easily than light of
any other color. The advantage of
using neon lights. it is claimed, is that
the tubes produce a red light of the
proper penetrative quality without the
waste Of power caused by use of color
filters and because of the long life of
the neon tubes, which is said to be
more than 10000 hours under ordinary
conditions

Gcerning the progress being accomplished
Fby the Chevy Chase Club, follows:
Il Under the able leadership of our
president, Ernest Stout, the Chevy
Chase Aero Club feels that it is taking
bff' for its most successful season flight.
They do not scout around for good
Flyers but make flyers out of all their
members. Rapid progress is being made
pm the glider, with the grateful aid Of
Lieut.. Walter Hinton, and is expected to
be ready by January /.
To those who do not know what our
glider is like: 1t measures 16 feet from
nose to tail and has a Widespread of As
feet and will cost the club about 500.
The wing will be built in three sections.
The glider is covered with blue cloth, as
its name Blue Heaven indicates. It
is of German origin and is of the glider
Scarer type, the plans being made by
Ernest Stout. We expect to take it to
Harpers Ferry for flights. The club
also is going to build a preliminary
training glider, which will be flown near
here to enable the members to get the
j"feel" of the air before attempting
higher flights.
