More than 200 boys are now enrolled
in the District Model Aircraft League
ing into the Community Center De-
partment TO enlist for the Winter con-
tests. These contests will all be held
indoors, most of them at the Mcfarland
Junior High School. Nearly $50 boys
signed up at the recent industrial ex-
position at the washington Auditorium,
where the league sponsored a model
aircraft exhibit. These boys are now
preparing planes for entry in the VIM
ter meets. The meet November 20 will
get under way at $50 O'Clock in the

A 5-second flight is required to quail
ify for entry in the league.
The Chevy Chase Aero Club reports
favorable progress on its glider now
under construction in the clubrooms.
A few more weeks and the boys will
either be successful glider pilots or

CHECK-UP
OF INSPECTIONS
Capt. Lynd to Test "Visuap'
System Operated at Army
Air Fields.

The first national check-up of the
operation of the visual inspection"
system put in operation a year ago at
Army Air Corps and National Guard
fields throughout the United States
has been begun by Capt. william e.
Lynd of the inspection division Of the
Air Corps.
Capt. Lynd left Boiling Field a few
days ago in a Curtiss Falcon Glib

itinerary. will carry him more than
5000 miles and will occupy six weeks,
Inspection Of the new visual system
Is considered extremely valuable at
this time, coming Just after the In
creased activities Of the Summer train
ing season. 1t will permit the con-
sheraton by the Air Corps inspec-
ton division of new problems which
have come up during the past few
months.
Visual Method Discussed.
The visual inspection system, which
has been in effect In modified form for
some time, calls for the keeping of q
separate chart for each airplane,
covering the number of hours Of night,
gasoline consumption, accidents, re-
pairs, motor hours motor overhauls
and other details of operation. Con-
sultation of this chart reveals instantly
the condition Of the plane in question
and permits q much closer check than
was possible under the former methods.
Capt. Lynd viii visit Army posts at
Cleveland, Detroit, Mount Clemens,
Mich, the base Of the first pursuit
group; Rantoul, H.; Indianapolis, ST.

VIII Include Guard SquadrOns.
Capt. Lynds trip win include the
first inspection made Of the operation
Of the visual system by National Guard
squadrons. Records at the War Depart
ment show that since the system was
put into effect there has been q re-
duction Of so per cent in the number
of forced landings and accidents due
to mechanical failures.
Mai. F. l.. Martin, chief of the All
Corps inspection service, is to make
similar inspection of Air Corps and

BERLINER TO COMPETE
IN ATTACK PLANE TEST
Company Will Submit Design in
Contest, Sponsored by Army
Air Service.

BALTIMORE. November Elm an
effort to get a Government contract
for the building of attack airplanes
the Berliner-Joyce Aircraft Corpora
ton Of Baltimore has entered the de-
signing contest sponsored py the Army
Air Service, according to Temple N.
Joyce, vice president Of the aircraft
corporation.
An experimental plane will be built
from the winning design and tested at
Wright Field. If the plane measures
up, the winning designer will award
ed contracts for more planes.
Designs have already been submitted
by the Berliner-Joyce officials in an
other contest for observation planes
conducted by the Army.
The contracts will probably be award
ed to two companies, as 1t Is the policy
of the War Department to encourage as
many manufacturers as possible. In
time Of war more concerns would be
equipped to supply needed planes.

OFFICERS HALT GAME
TO RESCUE AVIATOR
Work of Saving Civilian From Sea
Requires Less Than
Half Hour.

Interrupting their game Of tennis less
than q half hour, two Army Air Corps
officers on duty at Luke Field, Hawaii,
recently saved the life Of q civilian
pilot forced down q number OF miles
away in the ocean.
All flying activity at Luke Field had
been suspended and the hangers were
closed when q call came in saying that
a commercial land plane was down be-
tween the Islands of Oahu and Molokai.
Fourteen minutes after the call was re-
ceived an amphibian plane had been
brought out of the hangar fueled,
warmed up and cleared from the field.
Lieut.. G. I. Ferris, pilot, and Lieut..
James @. Shively, observer, still wore
their tennis toys.
They soon located the unfortunate
pilot, landed beside him and took him
aboard Just before his plane sank.
Fifteen minutes later they were back
ct their tennis.

WOMAN FOLLOWS JOB

Art Lies in Having Parts Hot

Carter, Using Electric Torch.

Among the unusual jobs held by
women in the field Of aviation is that
Of Amy Carter Of Hampstead, Long Is
together various parts of airplanes.
The secret Of the art of welding, she
says, is to have both pieces of metal
hot enough so that when the third
piece is put in all three will hold to-
gether like one piece. All the Welding
on the plane in which Lieut.. Vaughan
made his dawn-to-dusk flight was done
by Miss Carter.
She flrst began welding during the
different colored goggles for work on
different metals. There are only two
or three women in the country who are
doing electric welding, and so far as it
is known Miss Carter is the only woman
who YIELDS together airplane parts.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-There Is a
possibility that the finance COM
mittee of the steel corporation may
consider the advisability of capital
distribution at its session today,
such recommendation appears to
be somewhat premature. Perhaps OF
more Importance just now so far as
the affairs Of the corporation are
concerned Is the report of untitled
orders. A fair sized increase, which
Is generally anticipated, will prob
ably do more to reasSure the bust
ness world of the fundamental
Soundness of Our commercial -Struc-
ture than any other development.
After all, the chief purpose of the
administration and our banking
leaders is to prevent any further
recession in business, and gradually
bring about improvement, and as
the steel industry has always been
considered barometer of what Is
to come, the effect of increasing
steel orders can not be minimized as
a psychological factor. Temporary
f1rmer money conditions due to sea-
sonal causes probably had the effect
of checking the too rapidly advanc-
ing tendency of the security markets
and served to reveal a technical
condition that is not as strong as
might be desired. For this reason
We suggest that fresh commitments
be so timed as to take advantage
of any further moderate reactions.
