THE GANG SMAsHER. BY Hugh cleveiy.

THE gang" connotes nothing new In GRIM

World murderers and other nalefactors grouped
together for efficiency and safety. Nor TO the

it exists and operates today It seems TO me
that Hugh Cleyely. sensing clearly the new
demand, has, by way OF 'The Gang Smasher.
shown o genuine aptitude in creating for his
novel Just the kind of hero that the situation
requires. Robust, two-hsted. fearless. ingenious
in device, despotic in command, bent to the
job Of defeating the gang. this defender OF
law and order Is an almost unbelievably busy
man. But, he does good work and the reader
goes along in zest OF partaking with this
giant of achievement along the lines OF pub
lie security. Rather against his inclination.
one feels, Hugh Clevely invents q love story to
keep the pure man action company. But he
does this unobtrusively. SO as not to interfere
with the purpose and the action Of the main
course OF events. And. indeed, 1t Is very
straightforward love episode that tunes In all
right with the prime business In hand
husky adventure Of the underworld, set out
piausibly in highly dramatic sequence o.

u. S. Has More Air Pilots
Than RiDaL Countries

pass the examination for CON-
inercial transport licenses, the
requirements for which are very
strict.
The requirements for the
transport licenses include nd
vanced navigation, meteorology,
additional hours in the air and
other training and experience to
round out the finished pilot.
Change Quickly
Officials pointed out that it
would require but q short time
to transform a private pilot into
qualified military flier. Some
practice in gunnery and the
necessary fighting acrobatics
would place the amateur pilots
into a well trained personnel
for q fighting air corps.
sThe flying schools Of the coun-
try are turning out a much pet
ter trained class Of pilots than a
few years ago. Officials attrib-
uted this to the rating Of schools
by the government.
The Washington times., 1930-04-16

In case Of another war the
United States probably will have
more qualified airplane pilots
than any other country, judging
from the tremendous interest In
aeronautics as reflected by appli-
cations for licenses to the Depart
ment of Commerce.
BY the end Of the year there
will be more than $4,000 licensed
student pilots, aeronautlcal off
cials estimated today on the basis
Of q flood OF applications pouring
ia at the rate Of nearly SO day.
In the first three months Of
the year 1924 student pilots were
licensed, bringing the total on
April / to 34.486. Last year more
than 10000 obtained licenses.
Requirements Strict
Department records show that
q large percentage Of the stu
dents qualify for regular pilot IL
censes and that many of them
