BREW IN CHICKEN HOUSE
Deputy Sheriffs Find Cache With
Jar of Paper Money.

Deputy sheriffs Thursday night
disturbed a roost of chickens to I'M
earth cache of 167 pints of home
brew and fruit jar containing $50
in bills, in a henhouse at the home
of William Lane, R. R. 4. Box $50.
Lane, charged with blind tiger,
told the deputies they said, recent
raids by Indianapolis police fright
ened him, and he buried the beer
and hid brewing paraphernalia as
far from the house as possible. The
brewing apparatus was found in
bushes near the chicken house.

Attempt Abandoned

All efforts Of the supply ship to
force a passage through the ice bar
rier failed, however, and twelve tons
of provisions had to be dumped on
the ice fifteen miles distant from
the peninsula, while the rest we're
unloaded at Fran Havn.
Sailing southwark, the Beottic
visited the post at Dundas Harbor
and attempted to force her way
westward through the ice to Winter
Harbor, Melville island. At this
point, the impenetrable ice of the
northern winter was ahead of the
patrol and forced the expedition to
abandon for this year the attempt
to reprovision the cache at the
Winter HarbOr post.

BOOSTSARMYPL PLAN
Flies Over Capital During
House Hearing on Air
ship Bill.

The first visit of the Nays all
metal dirigible, the zMC-2, to the Ma
tional Capital during the past week
was of unusual interest in view of the
fact that Congress now Is considering
legislation authorizing construction Of
a 5000, 000- cubic-foot all-metal dirigible
for the Army Air Corps as a result
of the success of the Navy expert
mental model.
The ZMC-2 passed over the Capital
on the way from Langley Field. Hamp-
ton, Va, where it was berthed in the
Army airship hangar for several nights
to its home station, at Lakehurst, N. j

ing where members of the House COM
mittee on military affairs were holding
hearings on the Army metal airshiI
bill.
Proposed Dirigible Would Be Big.
The ZMC-2, which was completed
last September, is very small, as air
ships go, but the proposed Army metal
dirigible would rank in capacity with
the Nays Los Angeles. though il
would be smaller than the Graf Zeppe-
lin and would be less than half the
size of the two giant Navy dirigibles
now under construction at Akron, Ohio
The ZMC-2 was built by the Detroit
Aircraft Corporation at Crosse lie
Mich, and, after extensive flight tests
was delivered to the Navy at Lake
hurst Naval Air Station. 1t is unique
among the world aircraft. Incorporate
ing three distinct aeronautical innova'
tions-all-metal construction, a new
method of control and an unusual ratio
of fineness, or relationship, between
length and girth.
The hull is entirely Of metal, beine
made of the aluminium alloy known a.
alclad, made in very thin, strong sheets
"sewed" together with millions of tiny
rivets. Eight fins are used for con-
troll instead of the usual rudder anc
elevator arrangement.

First Lone Flight by
Club Member.

Celebration this week of the first an

member of the D. c. Air Legion, local
private flying club. finds the organiza-
ton with IS members who have made
their solo flights.
During the year one member has OBJ
tanned his transport pilots license, the
highest type issued by the Department
of Commerce; IL have obtained private
pilots licenses and two have SUFFICIENT
time to qualify for limited commercial
licenses. Two additional members are
expected to solo this week.
Five legion members have purchased
their own planes during the past year,
three of them holding private licenses
and one transport license.
The first solo flight was made by
Alva Sole. president of the legion, after
a long period of setbacks and disap-
pointmentS. The legion was organized
by 20 men and women in March,
1928, none of them having had any ex-
perience in aeronauticS. They set out
to learn the business of flying from the
bottom up.

of all. 1t found after several months
that its original ship for which 1t ex-
pended $3.50 of its limited capital. was

AERIAL ENGINEERS
WILL HEAR GERMAN
New Type Of Gas-Turbine Motor
for Planes to Be
Explained.

Aircraft power plant engineers from
this city are to be represented at q
meeting of international Diesel and
fuel-oil engine designers and builders
at Pennsylvania State College Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
The most important item of the pro-
gram is expected to be discussion by
c. A. Lorenzen of Germany Of a new
type of gasturbine engine for aircraft
propulsion, which now is undergoing
block tests and which soon Is TO be
delivered to Lufthansa for actual flight
testing in airline service.
The application of the turbine prtnci-
pie to the aircraft power plant is ex-
pected. If successful under actual OPP

and the concentration of power.
The Lorenzen paper is to contain de-
tailed descriptions of the gas cycle en-
ployed in the turbine and an illustrated
technical explanation of mechanical
details. This Is one of 16 papers to
be presented to the Diesel experts.

and containing approximately 5000, 900
cubic feet of helium,, giving a lift of
some 100 tons. Owing to the strength
of the construction and cleanness of
design it is estimated that a cruising
speed of 100 miles per hour could be
obtained with this airship, making it
the world fastest lighter-than-air craft
and enabling it to rank favorably in
Army lighter-than-air activity has
dwindled almost to nothing during the
past 10 years as result Of lack of
appropriations, and the Air Corps now
has no airships in operation except
two or three very small training blimps
of the TIC type.

instructor
Although this class has been meeting
but eight weeks, several members of the
class have built more than a dozen
models, most of which were success
fully flown, and one of which came
rather close to breaking record. 1t
is the belief of both Mr.. Pendleton and
John Arthur Shaw, leader of the le-
gion's junior activities, that several le-
gion members will make names for
themselves during the coming year. Mr..
Shaw again brought out the fact that
girls who know little or nothing of
model building and flying, and that all
are eligible for membership.
Members of the legion are showing
special interest in the progress of the
two Roberts boys, because these young
men will probably be the first members
TO take the legion idea to foreign
chimes. The Roberts will be going back
to South Africa within the next few
months, their mother and father being
missionaries there, and upon their ar
rival there will attempt to organize a
junior air legion on that continent
Much interest is felt in the prospect OF
thus having another air legion SO many

Frank Salisbury. president of the
Capital Model Aero Club and one of
the District of Columbia Model Air
craft Leagues outstanding model-plane
pilots, writes bit about his club.
Frank says the club will meet Satur-
day, and requests that all members be
present at o'clock that night. Frank
tells us that Everett Meeks, the young
man who made the sensational flight
over Eastern Branch after releasing his
plane at Boiling Field last year, has
signed up for a glider course, and
starts at it with yigor next week. Good
for Everett! He'll make good. He's
got the blood of a downright brave
fire fighting official coursing through
his veins
Then Frank tells lis about John
Pandleton, whose efforts to teach young
boys the art of flying model ships up
at the District OF Columbia Air Legion
have been highly successful. John, who
is a member of Franks club, is build
ing another compassionate model,
which he will use in the next contest of
the District Model Aircraft League.

CURTISS MARINE TROPHY RACE
MAY BE HELD HERE REGULARLY
Comdr. Douglas Given Credit
for Successful Event
This Year.
Anacostia Air Station Men
Sacrificed to Provide
Public Show.

The Curtiss Marine trophy race
which this year ranked as one of the
outstanding aeronautical events of the
year, will become permanent annua
institution In the National Capital, Il
plans of local aviation people are sue
cessful.
The race was held two weeks age
at the Anacostia Naval Air Station, the
scene of the classic for several consecu-
tive years. This years race was the
largest ever held and ranked as the
greatest aeronautical show this city ever
has seen.
Most Elaborate Preparations.
Much of the success of the event this
year is attributed to the work of Comdr
A. H. Douglas, commandant of the An
acostia Naval Air Station, and the off,
GERS and men composing his command
all of whom worked for weeks to pre-
pare for the races. The preparations
we're the most elaborate ever made fol-
an aviation show in the National
Capital.
Approximately 1000 automobiles WIS.,
tied the station and were routed to
parking places and parked under di-
rection of Marines and sailors, COM
manded by Lieut.. C. F. Harper. acting
police officer for the day. It is estimated
tnat tneSe cars brought nearly 10000
persons to the station.
Officers of the station not only were
forced to give up their spare time tc
complete the arrangements, but, be-
cause of their duties in handling the
races. were unable to compete in the
annual classic, except for a lone rep
resentative of the station, Lieut.. Aaron
P. Storrs, Sd, former member of the
Three Seahawks," famous Navy aero
batic section, who placed second in the
Curtiss trophy competition, also taking
second prize for fighting planes.

station provided 5000 programs of the
event at cost OF $1,000, which was
met entirely from the proceeds of ad-
vertiSing space sold to Capital business
concerns and aeronautical companies.
The site for the race is selected an
nually by the contest committee of the
National Aeronautic Association, under
the terms of the donation of the trophy
by Glenn Hammond Curtiss, pioneer
seaplane designer and pilot. In view of
the success of the race and the skill
with which the arrangements were ham
died by Comdr. Douglas and his COM
mand the contest committee Of the as
