The minimum speeds of the two
planes which completed the tests were
checked within q range of error of
three-tenths of a mile per hour or
less, Lieut.. Rounds said. Other per-
Torrance characteristics important to
the contest board were as carefully
checked.
The competition was won by the
Curtiss Tanager, equipped with wing
slots and flaps, full floating ailerons and
unusually large tail surfaces. It is
powered with a 176-horsepower air.
cooled Curtiss Challenger engine. This
plane won the first prize of 100000.
Held to Improve Safety.
The competition was held to improve
the safety of aircraft through increases
of aerodynamic stability and efficiency.
There were 81 entries, of which only Is
actually appeared at Curtiss Field
Three of these were withdrawn without
being tested two were damaged in trial
flights and eight failed to pass the rigid
qualifying requirements. The two which
passed the qualifying tests and entered
the final rounds were the Curtiss Tan
ager and Commandaire. The British
Handley Page did not pass the qualify
ing tests, Lieut.. Rounds said, but was
allowed because of its good qualities to
remain in competition until the final
selection.
OF the is planes which reached the
test field, only 10 actually were given
some form of performance tests. Seven
of the 10 failed on the maximum speed

The number of violations of the air

Of penalties imposed for such violations
showed q steady increase during the

During 1929 the aeronauticS branch
dealt with 523 violations of the act,

70 OF CADETS FAIL
IN AIR CORPS TESTS
211 Graduates of West Point Are
Examined for Commissions
by Flight Surgeons.

6eventy-nine of two hundred and
eleven cadets in the graduating class
at the United States Military Academy,
West Point, N, Y, who have been ex-
amined for commissions in the Army
Air Corps next June have, failed to
reach the rigid Air Corps physical re-
quirements, it has been announced by
the board of fight surgeons.
All of the 211 cadets previously had
passed the physical examinations for
admission 10 West Point. which showed
them to be above normal all-around
physical condition. There were only SO
of the 247 members Of the class who
did not take the Air Corps examination.
Those who failed to meet the Air
Corps physical requirements. as well as
those who failed to take the examina-
ton, will be commissioned in other
branches of the Army upon graduation,
Ninety-one of the two hundred and
eleven cadets examined were found to
be qualified for flight training, 10 were
accepted Professionally and 81 had minor
defects, which must be waived by the
chief Of the Air Corps before they can
be admitted to the Air Corps training
schools.

The contest is being staged under

A dozen boys have started the
ground school courses being af-
forded them by the District of
Columbia Air Legion.
John Arthur Shaw, who is Su-

ne is working out model build
ing course for the boys in the
junior unit. The boys will first
be given simple plans to follow in
the construction of miniature
craft and then will be given grad
ually more intricate patterns to
follow.
When the planes are completed
and in shape for flying a contest
will be staged between the boys
and they will be given ratings &C
cording to their respective skill.
Cups will be awarded the win

OF AIR
NEARER SOLUTION.
Scientific Conferences at st.
Louis Exposition Bring
About Results.

Many of the most pressing problems
Of modern aviation have been brought
closer to a solution during the past
week as a result Of technical and sci
entific sessions in connection with the
International Aircraft Exposition at ST.
Louis.
A day when the airplane will be the
safest mode of transportation was en-
visioned by Lieut.. James H. Doolittle,
famed pilot, who has just resigned
from the Army Air Corps, in an. adj
dress at one of the sessions of the avia-
ton section of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers at st. Louis.
Hundreds of blind landings have
been made" he said, according to AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches received here,
ito show conclusively that 1t is possible
to land by instruments alone without
any breakage.
TESTS have covered a period of sew
eral months, but the procedure still is
in highly experimental stage, and it
now remains for some interested agency
to continue the tests and develop this
or some improved process to a point
where is can be applied to commercial
use.
when this is brought about the air
plane will become the safest known
means OF transport, as 1t will be the
only one that can operate ~lnhampered
by fog.
Must Learn to Fly BY instruments.
1.-THE time has already come when no
airplane is thoroughly equipped that
cannot be flown by instruments alone,
so the pilot can direct 1t to any point
regardless Of weather conditions. BY
the same token, no pilot has completed
his training until he has learned to ny
by instruments alone, without the need
Of any reference point outside the air
plane"
Doolittle represented the Guggenheim
Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics,
the agency for which he made the first
totally blind flight, taking of, flying
and landing by means of an artificial
