Greed is selfish and unfair:

Old Mother Nature,

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was q
happy squirrel. He was SO. He was so
happy that he wanted to tell every
body how happy he was. But he didn't.
No, sir, he didn't. For once he kept
his tongue still. And for Chatterer to
keep his tongue still is quite remark
able. He kept his tongue still because
he didn't want anybody to know where
he was. He was on the roof of Farmer
Browns corn crib.

FEDERAL GLIDER
CODE PREPARED
Department of Commerce
Completes Regulations
for Aerial Sport.

AS result of the tremendous in
crease in interest in gliding and soar
ing in the United States during the
past year and the Springing up of
glider clubs in cities and towns in every
State, the aeronautics branch of the
Department of Commerce, after many
weeks of study, has amended the air
commerce regulations with a view to
the protection of glider users, according
to Clarence NJ. Young, Assistant Secre-
tary OF Commerce for AeronauticS
The amendments provide regulations
under which Federal inspectors may ex-
anime licensed gliders for airworthineSs
and which will insure that glider in
structors are capable glider pilots and
are physically qualified.
Three classes of glider pilot licenses
are provided under the new regulations
They are student, non-commercial and
commercial. The regulations were
framed. Mr. Young said in an effort to
arrive at policy that would encourage
the glider movement in the United
States and which, at the same time,
would be in line with the Department
OF Commerce principle of insuring
competent airmen and airworthy air
craft.
The requirements with respect to
licensing of gliders have not yet been
issued, though it is anticipated that
public announcement of the new policy
in this respect will be made soon.

NC-1 PILOT, ON OCEAN FLIGHT,
ORDERED BACK TO DUTY HERE
Lieut.. Comdr. Mitscher viii
Be With Plans Unit of
Aero Bureau.
Langley Executive Officer
Formerly Was Commander
at Anacostia.

Lieut.. Comdr. Marc A. Mitscher, for
mer commander of the AnaCoStia Naval
Air Station, whose promotion to the
rank of commander has been recon-
mended by the naval selection board
and approved by President Hoover, is to
return to duty in the National Capital
as executive officer of the plans section
Navy Bureau of AeronauticS, the Navy
Department has announced.
Comdr. Mitscher, now executive off,
Ger of the U. S. S. Langley, airplane
carrier, was one of the heroes of the
Navy transoceanic expedition which re-
suited in the crossing of the Atlantic
for the first time by air. He was an
officer of one of the three big Navy
flying boats which started from Trepassy
Bay. Newfoundland, for Portugal, by
way of the Azores.
Mitscher's plane. the NC-1, met with
misfortune and was forced down at sea
of the Azores after running into dense
fog The plane was so badly battered
by heavy seas that she sank soon after
her crew had been picked up by the
Greek steamer Ionia.
Comdr. Mitscher was born at Hills
boro, Wis, January 26, 1887, and was
graduated from the Naval Academy in
1910. He served for five years with the
feet and entered naval aviation in Sep
tember, 1915, as one of the Navy air
pioneers. He saw service as an aviator
on the U. s. s. North Carolina, one of
the first vessels to carry an airplane.
During the World War he served at
various naval coast defense aviation
stations along the Atlantic seaboard,
and in February 1919, came to this city
for mis- first tour of duty here in the
aviation section of the office Of the chief
of naval operations
After the NC-1 flight he went with
the Aircraft Squadrons, Battle Fleet, to
the West Coast until June, 1922, when
he assumed command Of the Anacostia
Naval Air Station. In November of that
year he went to the Navy Department
for duty In the plans division. He COM
manded the teams of Navy pilots par
in the International Air Races
at Detroit in 1922, at st. Louis in 1923,
and at New York in 1925, and also in
the Schneider Trophy Race at Balti-
more, Md, october "a, 1925.

solo licensed gliders while under the
Jurisdiction of a licensed glider pilot
will be issued by Department of Com
merce inspectors and divisional Offices
upon application. No physical or writ
ten examination will be required Forms
may be obtained for the application and
permit.
The non-commercial glider license
Mr.. Young explained, will serve those
who wish to operate gliders only for
sport and pleasure and will be similar
IN this respect to the private airplane
pilot license. The only examination re-
quired for the license will be flight
test which will consist of a minimum of
three flights, including moderate banks
in either direction.
The commercial glider pilot license
will be issued to all applicants physi-
cally qualified who successfully ac-
complish the flight tests involved. The
physical examination will be the same
as that now required for private air
plane pilots. There is no written ex-
animation. The flight test, in addition
to normal taks-offs and landings, will
include a series of general and mod
crate banks, 360-degree turns and pre-
cision landings.
Applications for all types of licenses
may be made to Department Of Com
merce aeronautics branch inspectors or
divisional offices The study upon
which the regulations we're based in
cluded a conference here recently of
all the departments supervising and
engineering inspectors on duty through
out the United States. Three repre-
sentative gliders were obtained and
scores of glider flights were made bv
the inspectors at Boiling Field during
the conference.
The new rules are not intended to
act as any check on gliding activity
but are designed to protect those who
seek protection against improperly con-
structed gliders or unskilled instruc-
tors, it was pointed out The resula-
tons will aid those States having avia-
tion laws which require the licensing
by the Federal Government of aircraft
and atrmen operating within the State.
In the District of Columbia the new
rules will not make mandatory the
licensing Of gliders or glider students
or pilots, except for commercial pur-
poses. If the glider is to be used for
advertising or commercial demonstra-
tions, it must be licensed If the pilot
intends to fly the glider for hire .r for
any commercial purpose, including in
struction. he must obtain a license.
In Maryland or Virginia 1t was
SGhleu, elIneF SVaCe or Federal licenses
may be required for gliders or glider
pilots. There are 20 States or Terri
tories which require Federal licenses
for all aircraft and airmen, IL which
require Federal licenses for all aircraft
and airmen engaged in commercial fly
ing, 6 which require State or Federal
licenses for all aircraft and airnen, 8
which require no licenses, and which
require only State licenses.
The new regulations make mandatory

 ROCKVILLE TEAM
Local Basketball Quintet Holds
 Opposition Too Lightly

Meeting the stiffcst and most un- expected opposition. of the season and seeming 10 be playing without their hearts in the game, the Bur- ritts Saturday night managed to re- trieve a good measure of their form in the second half to dispose of the Clerk A. C. basketball team of Rock vile by the score of 25 to l l. The To- cal team vas playing without the services Of Hammy Darrow, guard who was injured while playing in the Industrial League and this seemed to disrupt the quintet considera bly,
 It appeared as though the Burritts held the opposition lightly at the opening of the game. Instead of be- ing a Setup team, the Rockville quintet surprised everyone with it's snappy play. It held the Burritt for wards under cover in the first half and the players all were ball hawks, fighting every minute. The Burritts llldliS SitpL up anu ittAN eh l " . lead at half time.
 In the third and fourth quarters, the best the visiting delegation could do was to score two foul points, one in each quarter to boost it's score by two or to II while the Burritts, scored six field goals and a foul to make their total 25.
 Due to their carelcssness, the Bur ritts failed to impress very greatly their many followers with their showing Saturday night. The team is capable of better basketball than it displayed and only because the quin- tet had the ability to come back in the second half. did it win by safe margin.
