ALERT CONTEST OFFICIAL FOuS
FLYERS TRICK TO CUT WEIGHT

How the aerial detective ability of
Maj. Luke Christopher, secretary of the
contest committee Of the National
Aeronautic Association, foiled a racing
plane pilot who used balloons in his
fuel tank to reduce weight Is the SUBJ
tect Of story which has Just reached
this city from Chicago, where Maj.
Christopher has established headQuar-
tiers IN preparation for the national air
races next month.
AS in every form Of competition, 1t
was pointed out, there are tricks of the
trade" in air racing, and, in accord
ance with established traits of
human nature, many pilots enjoy the
sensation of putting fast one over
on the referee.
At the competition, when Mai. Chris
topher's ability In detecting such shrewd
lodges came into play, the competing
planes were required by race rules to
take of with fuel tanks fun. A pre-
race inspection revealed gasoline to the
top Of all tanks.
On Hand to Greet Pilot.
When the starters nag dropped, how
ever, one plane climbed blithely into the
air after a short run. From expert
ence, Maj. Christopher knew that
couldn't be done, even II he saw 1t HIM
self. When the frisky plane crossed the
line ahead of all its competitors, Mai.
Christopher was on hand to greet the
pilot.
Investigation revealed several inflated
rubber balloons in the gasoline tank.
These balloons had replaced large vol
umes Of gasoline by air. The pilots re-
joicing over the fast one he had pulled
changed to grief. He was disqualified.
Has Had 5000 Hours Aloft.
Christopher's powers Of deduction in
this case were backed by more than
5000 hours of flying experience. He

plane ever built and has had perhaps
the most diversified experience Of any
American pilot.
He was trained by the Army, took a
air forces and then was detailed to the
Navy for aviation duty during the
World War. Since the war his expert
ence included transforming, stunt pi-
loting. crop busting, test plotting for
one of the leading aircraft builders and
test plotting for the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics.
His present duty requires him to Of
ficiate at all attempts at record break
ing in the field of aeronautics in this
country. He has handled the contest
arrangements for scores of air races,
meets and tours.

PICKED SQUADRONS'
TO FLY TO CHICAGO.
Three Branches of Service
Will Send Plane Units to
National Races.

Picked combat squadrons of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps aviation
services will be ordered to Chicago dur
ing the last week In August for par
ticipation In the National Air Races.
August 20 to September /, inclusive, 1t
has been announced here during the
past week.
Rear Admiral Joseph M. Reeves, COM
mander Of the Aircraft Squadrons Bat
tie Fleet, will choose an l8-plane squad
ron from the squadrons of the fleet.
Lieut.. Col Thomas c. Turner, COM
mandant of Marine Corps AVIATION, is
to select Marine squadron of IL
planes. The Army Air Corps probably
will be represented by squadrons of pur-
suit, attack and bombardment aviation.
Last year the Navy sent the famous
High Hat" fighter squadron from San
Diego, Calf, to Cleveland to fly in
the National Air Races. 1t is probable
that one Of the fighter or light bonn
bardment squadrons, both types being
equipped with single-seater Boeing
fighters: will be selected this year.
The Marines probably will be repre-
sented by a flghting-plane squadron
from the East Coast Expeditionary
Force, Quantico, Va. This station pro-
vided a similar squadron for the
Cleveland races last year.
The Army probably will send squad
ron Of pursuit planes from the LIST
Pursuit Group, Selfridge Field, Mich;
a squadron Of attack planes from the
Sd Pursuit Group, Fort Crockett,
Galveston, Tex, and squadron or part
Of a squadron of bombardment planes
from the I'd Bombardment Group,
Langley Field. Hampton, Va.
The races are to be held this year at
the CurtiSS- Wright REYNOLDS Airport.
Chicago, where an extensive construc-
ton program is in progress In prepara-
ton for the country's outstanding
aviation classic. Race oficials claim
that on the basis of advance registra-
tons, approximately 1000 visiting air
planes will visit the field during the
progress of the races. More than half
this number were present at one time
at the races last year In Cleveland.

CHEAPEST MODE
OF TRAVEL IN HAITI
Fare by Air Less Than by Motor
Between Port au Prince and
Saufo Denim 90.
Santo Domingo.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti R.-Fly-
ing Is the cheapest as well as the fast
est mode Of travel between Port au
Prince and Santo Domingo, capitals Of
the two republics on this Island.
The standard price for motor trip
between the two cities Is $50 and the
traveller spends 8 to 10 hours riding.
The fare by air is $26 for q flight re-
curing less than two hours. However,
only so pounds Of baggage Is carried
free by air.
Mountains-the barriers against con-
nection of the two cities by rail-ac-
count partly for the advantages offered
by the airp1ane. An auto must follow q
road that winds for nearly 200 miles
through valleys and around hills, but an
airpiane takes the shortest route-120
miles.

/ AS the Apache Trail climbs Slow
/ ly from the Salt River Valley up and
around the foot hills, Canyon Lake
first becomes visible from a distance,
and coming nearer, it presents
dazzling sight, reflecting the dense
blue of the sky and the sharp out
lines of the sheer cliffs that tower
above it on the further side. Near
the end of the lake. where the road
crosses a narrow bridge, on looking
back the Mormon Flat dam can be
distinguished in the distance, like a
straight line across the canyon. All
water sports can be enjoyed on this
little lake, which is only 45 miles
from Phoenix, and for other visitors
the motor boat Geronimo" makes a
marvellous trip across the lake and
up through the colorful canyon that
turns and twists to Horse Mesa
damsite.
Another trip to Horse Mesa dam
is made by way of the road extend,
ing six miles from the main trail
some distance beyond Canyon lake.
For sheer beauty and thrill this
route equals if not excels the Apache
Trail itself.
Next in the chain is Apache Lake,
formed by Horse Mesa Dam, and
finally the great Roosevelt Dam ap-
pears suddenly just ahead, closing
up the narrow opening which once
formed the junction of the Salt and
Tonic rivers. Roosevelt is the larg-
est of the lakes and no less spec
tacular. Apache Lodge is across the
dam on the left bank at the foot
of Four Peaks, and on the opposite
side, the soft pink tinted barren
hills undulate gently to the noun
tains beyond in exquisite contrast
to the bright blue of the lake. Bass
have been planted by the state in
all these lakes, and Roosevelt has
long been a rendezvous for anglers
from all the counties around.

"See Arizona movement.)
Twice lovely has Arizona's roman
tic Apacheland become with the
creation along its scenic trails OF
artificial lakes which like great
bright mirrors reflect the startling
grandeur of this world-famed re-
zion. The vast irrigation systems OF
which the lakes are part have
built agricultural empires out OF
once arid lands, and in addition they
have added immeasureably to the
already alluring scenery which 1t IS
the privilege of motorists to ENJOY
as they go on their way either buSl-
ness bound or Seeing Arizona" for
their annual vacation.
Along Apache Trail, where the
dams and lakes of the Salt River
Valley irrigation system are to be
seen, the rugged beauty of the
mountains and the rocky bright
tinted cliffs have long made it one
of the show places of the west.
Here against the vivid mountain
background the stately sahuaro, the
cholla, the tipped ocatlllo
and the palo verde grow in profu-
sion, with an occasional yucca and
century plant bursting into white
flower amid the riot of color.
Like the dread Apaches who once
called this region their home, the
scenery is at once fierce, colortul
and wild. AS the road goes up ar
ound high crests and dives rapidly
down into a narrow walled canyon,
the sightseer is enthralled with a
beauty he cannot express. And it
is in this brilliant setting that three
artificial lakes have come into be-

narrow canyon of the Gila which at
that point is like a painted picture

test Ban on Hybrid Vines.

GERMERSHEIM, Germany, May IS.
This little city Of the Rhineland was
put under martial law Tuesday, after
5000 indignant growers Of the Amer
lean hybrid vine stormed the district
court house in protest against lines
imposed on 400 wine growers for rails
ing the hybrid vines.
To check the demonstrators, the au-
thorities summoned $50 police from va
rious points IN the Palatinate and IN
Baden, who were armed with carbines.
The demonstrators. however, broke
through police Gordon and attacked
the court house.
Bloodshed was averted through inter-
Vention by their leaders, and martial
law was proclaimed. The demonstra-
tors then telegraphed to the minister
of agriculture of Bavaria at Munich,
threatening that they would not leave
Germersheim until the right to raise
the hybrid vine had been guaranteed.
The American hybrid vine Is alleged
10 be disposed to the plant disease
known as phylloxera, and its cultiva-
ton was recently prohibited. It yields
an extraordinarily rich harvest in even
the poorest soil, but its wine Is very
sour, and sugar, fruit wine or chem
icals must be added to make 1t drink
able. For this reason growers Of ma
tive Rhine wines consider 1t q menace
to their more expensive product.

current business negotiations Is the fol-
lowing:
"Only this afternoon" q leading
member Of its brokers' division writes,
under date Of October 20, I'VE had q
negotiation in which the owner said he
could not afford to make the sale at
the price offered, namely, $3.50, 900, and
pay q $4,000 profit tax"
This is q Chicago instance. The
same day another officer Of the associa-
ton cited from his experience q st.
Louis property in q strategic location,
costing 100000 some years ago and to-
day valued at $780, 900, the owner of
which, specifically because of the gains
tax that would be involved, refuses to
consider sale.
In both these cases and IN a growing
number Of cases a solution for the
present Is being worked out through
putting the property under long-term
lease. A tract in a Chicago business
sub center, for example, bought in 1905
at a cost Of $4,000 and valued al
$500, 900, has been put under q 99-yeal
lease, the improvements being sold out
