up quite a fortress or rim, which she
pinched between her thumb and two

GREAT LAKES PLANES
NEED new COWLlNG
Special Protection to Keep Oil From
Freezing Sought by
Navy Flyers.

Operation Of naval planes on the
Great Lakes during the subzero weather
encountered this Winter has necessi-
tated the development OF Special motor
cowling and other devices to prevent
freezing Of the lubricatinR oil In the
engines, according TO reports to the
Navy Department.
The weather at the Navy and Ma
rine Corps Reserve aviation training
station at Great Lakes, Ill, has been
extremely cold for several weeks, reach
ing as low as 10 degrees below zero. In
order to operate the US radial air
cooled engines special cowling was
made up.
A flight test of half-hour was made
with the cowling on one OF. the coolest
days Of the Winter. At 5000 feet the
thermometer, mounted on the forward
flying wires OF Navy NY-2 training
plane, registered 10 degrees below zero,
which probably was q few degrees above
the true temperature, owing to heat
coming back from the engine around the
thermometer.
Further tests viii be made to devise
a cowling that will insure q safe oper-
ating oil temperature, In addition to
the eowling there was an asbestos COW
ering on the oil lines and the oil tank
was covered with a layer of felt.
During the cold spell an open cockpit
civilian plane was flown from Cleveland
to the Chicago Municipal Airport, the
pilot landing with frozen face and his
hand frozen to the control stick, ac-
cording to the report. His condition was
SO serious he had to be lifted from the
plane.

knowledge absorbed by these
youthful aspirantS.
Sky Climbers Compete.
Another organization interested
in teaching aeronauticS to the
Nations youth, The Sky Climbers
Club OF America, held their first
model plane contest at the Cor
don Junior High School, Thirty
fifth street and Wisconsin avenue,
yesterday morning.
The contestants competed in
two groups. The first group was
composed of boys 8 to IL years
old and the Sacond was made up
of boys ranging from IL to 16
years of age. SakS 81 Company'S
department store, who are spon-
Soring the club, will offer prizes
to the winners.
Fifteen new types of model
planes have been designed by
Joseph S. OFT of Chicago. The
most unusual of these models is a
compressed aircraft with a
Streamline tank. He has also de-
signed a Dornier model from a
scale model which will take off in
perfect flight. OFT, an expert de-
Signer of model craft, has devised
plans for numerous toy models
which will be exhibited at the Toy
Fair in New York at a near date.
The scale model contest to be
staged by the District Model Air
craft League will get under way
March z and continue through
March 8. The league announced
that planes must be submitted by
March 6.
The models will be classified
according to size, varying from a
of one inch to a four
foot maximum.
The judges for the contest are
Capt. e. E. Adler, u. S. A.; Lieut..
Comdr. A. C. Mines, of the Bureau
of AeronauticS, and John A.
Chamberlin, head of the manual
training department of the public
schools.
One of the attractions at the
international aircraft exposition
to be held in st. Louis, Mo-, Feb
ruary Is to %, will be a small
model Of the Lockhead Sirius,
which was recently delivered to
Col. Lindbergh.
It is f1ve-eighths of an inch
long and has a wing spread of
three-fourths of an inch, and was
carved from the wood of one
match by William Mallon of 420

Lieut.. Sanderson, Gen. Neville said,
distinguished himself by "a display of
initiative, courage and skill of the
highest order" On October 80. last,
Lieut.. Sanderson took of from Ma

rugged mountainous country. where the
air was extremely rough and where a
forced landing would have probably
meant death. The field at Jinotega,
where Lieut.. Sanderson landed, is small
and is surrounded by bitches. It is
subjected to tricky air currents and at
this season of the year It is hazardous
to the landing Of any airplane, even
though unencumbered by such burden
as carried by the airplane which Lieut..
SanderSon piloted."
But for the daring and ability of
Lled SanderSon, Gen. Neville said, the
crippled plane would have had to be

out the dismantled ship. The plane
was repaired with the new wings and
was flown back to the home airdrome.
Lashed Stick With Tie.
In the second letter of commentator,
Gen. Neville explains that Lieut.
Jerome was practicing acrobatics over
the air station when the stick broke
OF at the socket. The officer might
have abandoned the plane and escaped
with his parachute without danger
Instead, he set to work on the broken
stick, flashing the halves together with
his belt. necktie and handkerchief. He
was able to land the plane without
damage.
Lieut.. Jerome is 90 years old, was
born in Hutchinson, Kans. He was
commissioned lieutenant in the Ma
rine Corps June 3, 1922, following his
graduation from the Naval Academy.
His air instruction was received at the
Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla. He
served with the Marines In China for
more than a year before going to duty
in San Diego.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Feb. "a
Results of his expedition to the
Antarctic we're disclosed in part here
today by Sir George Hubert wilkins,
Australian explorer.
wilkins expressed particular salts
faction at the discovery Of two new
islands. He said he also had proof
that southern pole areas heretofore
-@1arted as land were water.
The fiier, whose expedition at
Deception island had something Of
the air Of mystery when he failed
to keep in touch with the world by
radio and who for a time was re-
ported lost, said his labors had been
interrupted because the season no
longer was suitable.
He said his accomplishments
would have a positive value to SCI
ence and told Montevideo newspa-
pers he hoped that future geo.
graphic research would be made
from meteorological bases in the
Antarctic to be established in &C
cordance with his studies.
wilkins said he probably would
not return to the Antarctic. Next
year, he said, he proposes to go to
the north pole by submarine.
Referring to the utilization Of
submarines for exploring polar
areas, he said he was convinced
they were more suitable than air
planes to peer under the ice Of the
north polar region next season.
wilkins planned to fly to Buenos
AIRES today to sell the planes he has
been using on his recent expedition.
He will sail for New York on the
steamer Eastern Prince next Friday.
