POLICEMAN BOASTS
AVIATION LIBRARY
sergt. Stanley's Collection Repre-
sents 25-Year Hobby-Has
Written Air Stories.

What is believed to be enc Of the
most complete private aviation libraries
in the National Capital has been col.
lected by Police Sergt. Buell. Stanley
of the tenth precinct.
The collection includes IL large vol.
unes Of aviation history, collected over
period Of IS years and including
pictures, newspaper and magazine clip
pings, editorials and other data dealing
with epochal flights and aeronautieal
events.
The library was established by Sergt.
Stanley as hobby. He has flown him
self number of times and has written
several aviation stories. He believes
that future airplane development viii
make 1t possible for city dwellers to
own their own ships and to fly them
from their yards or house tops on the
hciicopter principle.
Sergt. Stanley has had an unusual
career. He has been a Shakespearean
actor, inventor, author and soldier and
has seen service in many parts Of the
world. He now lives at 450s Thirteenth
street.

Flying at nearly 5. miles above the
earth, both pilots required oxygen, the
air being too rare at this altitude 70
permit normal breathing.
Invisible from Ground.
It is considered likely that in event
of another war all pursuit pilots would
be forced to wear oxygen apparatus and
would operate at attitudes of more
than $4,000 feet, being invisible from
the ground. Some observation and
Photographic work will be conducted ct
even greater attitudes, it is believed
and the Army Air Corps already is
making plans for such operations Of
attitudes beyond the range of any pres
ent type of military plane.

The Curtiss Hawk type airplane Is
the backbone of the Nations aerial de-

Coast therefore are regarded as
being of the utmost importance. The

Two Cooling Types.
Both Curtiss and Boeing types are
fitted with either air-eooled or wateT-

cooled type is preferred, with the B0e-

pursuit squadrons, however, are built
around the Hawk, powered with q

about 1900 pounds. It is biplane Of

The Columbia Junior High club Is
headed by william Streets and Edward
Nightingale. qualified flyers and pupils
OF the school.
Jerry Hysong was elected secretary at
a meeting held last week, and Kenneth
Foster treasurer.
Walter Roth, authority on model air
craft. was named instructor Of the new
club at the meeting and gave Q brief
talk to the members.
Roth told of the benefits to be derived
In model plane building, explaining that
many of the members may later on be-
come aviators. The class will construct
a baby rise-off ground model Friday,
and trials with the planes will be held
later on in the week.
Famed Flyers Praise Builders.
Aviation leaders throughout the coun-
try are displaying great interest in
model building.
Here's what a few Of the famous
flyers have to say about the movement
"As flying activities increase" says
Gel. Charles A. Lindbergh, "a basic edu-
cation in elementary aviation is becom-
ing a necessity for every one. The
Playground and Recreational Associa-
ton is greatly assisting in the advance
ment of aeronautics by enlisting thou
sands of boys in American cities in the
national playground miniature aircraft
contests"
Warner Cites Benefits.
Edward p. Warner enthusiastically
says: Every boy who builds a model
airplane. tests it and changes 1t is an
aeronautical engineer, whether he knows
it or not. Many Of the men engaged
4n building planes today were enthusi-
astic over model building when they
were boys"
Amelia Earhart says something about
the girl builders.
Girls have had few opportunities to
express their mechanical bent" says the
intrepid woman flyer, yet some of them
would prove better carpenters than
cooks. just as some boys would make
better pies than machines. Many girls
are skillful with their hands and could
build lovely models. Model making gives
q background in aeronautics that wona-
en- as well as men will need tomorrow"
Proof of Miss Earhart's statement was
given at Eiizabethtown, N. j., where S5
girls took part in local contests and
scored high honors. In fact, there is
much feminine interest In this move
ment In many of the larger American
cities.
