JACOBS DEFENDS MAX STORYTELLING.
Champino's Manager Says He Will Fight the Best Man

New York. Dee. v uID-The customary shy and retiring Joseph Ja~obe. who averages only q half million words an hour, Was induced by Il determined reporter today 10 break his silence and say d few words on Max Schmeling, heavy weight champion Of the world.
 Herr Jacobs, it will be remember cd, iS Nchmclngs manager-the same Schmelng that yesterday Was ordered by the New York boxing commission to accept within l" days Jack sharkoy's challenge for championship fight.
 Following are a few choice cN- crp,s from the first 3o seconds Of Herr Jacobs haltlng speech:
 My man is ready 10 tight any man the press and public choosc.'
 "IT that man happens 10 be Jack Sharkcy. as the commission says Ii must be, then ohay by me. Also, okay by Max"
 T think the commission q triil" ha-t1. however. in dchanding that SnurE,y be the man to fight Max In Juno or Scptcmbyr.'
 "Why do l think the commission has.> 9"
 u.arlug 10 answer Herr Jacobs au-wrr.I himself
 "Bccause the commission, f 1t wants my man to meet the best available opponent, should 'ait uutII later when some fighter proves himself to be the best contender
 You cant say who is the best man now, for December ain't June, Is it."
 Herr Jacobs was assured that he VAS right-Dcccmbcr wasn't June. While the reporter checked the calendar 10 make sure he was right, Jacobs came up for air--got same and continued.
 As 1 said before, Max is ready 10 meet the best man We don t care whether that man is Sharke%. slriblng, Paulmo, Camera, Ba"r or Luk, McGinns.'
 Jacobs was asked if he intended answering Sharkey's challenge with Iu l5 days.
 "In less time than that. When the commission meets Friday I'll be there. And it won't take m" morc'n a minut. 10 tell the commissioners that Max is ready 10 meet the best man they. the public, and the press can find"
 How Was Max
 "FIro. H. will be here in ahout three weeks Prom here VIC will go 10 Hollvv ood to make picture. Whnu thr picture is over We will uaNr u tour Of all the big cities. on tho tour Max will give boxing i ..zhihnious. It. ought 10 20 over big. especially in the south where t,rjMmg Is such a taNorltc for the . utlo.'
 IL wa- easy 10 sec that the tour ! MS money making schelne-not one to show the German champion the country.
 Would Schmrlins mind meeting ] Shars.y again? l "iaN would like 10 meet Sharley aGuu. He agrees with luc that Siarfo., soon realizing that ho tSnaracy) could not put Schmclins away. deliberately foulcd his "ay out or q b"a,lng. Don't lou think that is what he tSharhey) did?'
 Caught in q current Of words the reporter was swept through an open door before he could answer. Just one of those lucky breaks.

It is one of the most severe tests
yet given air transportation and
its success will mean a great deal
to the entire aviation industry.
To meet with success on its pres
ent schedule the line must carry
minimum of between 100 and
100 passengers day out of a
maximum possible load of 200 pas
sengerS. So far, according to Of
ficials of the line, the planes have
averaged far above the minimum
load.
The development of air trans
portation in the National Capital
has been accomplished despite the
failure of Congress to act on local
airport legislation. The amazing
development of the past two
months has followed the develop
ment, by private capital, of Wash
ington Airport as a model air
transport terminal field. The field
now is regarded as one of the
best of its size in the United
States. During the past week it
has been lighted for night opera
tions and the final southhound

FOG !.
PIERCED IN LANDING
Blind Radio Control Expert.
ments by Famous British
Pilot Success.

Successful landings through 90 feet
of dense fog have been made in England
by a pilot of the British Royal Air
Force, according to report received
here by the Department of Commerce
from H. C. Schuette, assistant trade
commissioner at Paris.
The landings are said to be the first
made anywhere in the world since the
radio-controlled blind landings made by
Lieut.. James H. Doolittle, former crack
Army Air Corps pilot then flying for the
Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Pro.
motion of AeronauticS.
The British experiments, made at
Farnesborough, resulted in five success
ful landings, according to the report.
No radio was used in any of the at
tempts and passenger was carried ON
each flight.
The equipment used consisted of
small anchored sighting balloon on a
400-foot cable at distance of a half
mile from the airport; pitch and yaw
indicator On the planes instrument
board and a weight suspended from
wire few feet below the landing
wheels.
After getting above the fog the pilot
made use of the known height and posi-
ton of the balloon for locating the air.
port He glided past the balloon at an
angle indicated by his instruments.
When the trailing weight touched the
ground small red lamp on the instru-
ment board was lighted as a signal to
level off the plane for its landing.
The five landings made by this sys-
tenn were considered highly satisfac-
tory" Mr.. Scheutte reported.

D. C. AIR LEGION
TO PURCHASE PLANE
Small Cabin Craft Will Be Used
by Flying Club to Train
Students.

Purchase of one of the smaller types
OF cabin planes for the training of
students of the District of Columbia
Air Legion, local private flying club,
was decided upon at meeting of the
legion during the past week.
L. j. Waggy, manager of the legion.
was directed to arrange for demon
Strations OF various types of suitable
cabin planes. The new ship is expect
ed TO make possible more flying during
the Winter months than would be pos
sible with only an open plane. 1t also
is felt that members of the legion
should have experience in closed planes
as a part of their training.
The legion, since Lieut.. w. G. Buell.
took over its instruction IL months
ago, has soloed % members. to set what
Is believed to be a record for the East
These % students were soloed without
the breaking of so much as a strut
on the first solos. Each member has
made an almost perfect landing on
the first solo, and in many cases good
three point landings have resulted from
the first attempts.
Among those who have soloed during
the IL months are four girl members
of the legion, Miss Frances Jackson,
Miss Mary M. Craig. Miss Harriet E.
Sackett and Miss Marie Buch.

FIRE SPR|NKLERS
SAFEFOR HANGAR
Committee Announces Con-
illusions Following Tests
at Standards Bureau.

Properly installed and maintained
automatic water sprinkler systems can
control most of the fires likely to occur
in airplane hangers, it is stated by a
special fact-finding committee in an
nouncing its conclusions as result Of
the exhaustive fire tests conducted sew
eral months ago in an airplane hangar
built for the purpose in the Bureau OF
Standards grounds.
During these tests, which were con-
Quoted under conditions resembling as
closely as possible those which would
be found in actual practice, number
of obsolete Army and Navy airplanes
were burned in the hangar to test the
effect of Sprinkling from four types OF
automatic sprinklers installed in CELL
ing and floor of the building.
Serious Thought Urged.
The committee voiced the opinion
that. as result of these tests, serious
thought should be given to the inStalla-
ton of automatic sprinkler systems IN
hangers wherever commercial air trans
port or other aerial activities are car
ried on.
1t reported that the automatic ap-
plication of water by Sprinklers may be
depended upon generally TO give good
protection to hangers and their con-
tents, except to the airplane in which
the fire actually starts, which may burn
so rapidly as to be badly damaged be-
fore the Sprinklers come into action.
Spread of fire to other airplaneS or to
the hangar usually will be prevented,
however, it was stated.
Guide to Underwriters.
The tests were conducted largely for
the guidance of the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters in promulgating a
code for the construction and protec-
ton of airports upon which fire insur-
ance protection was desired.
The committee in charge of the tests
was composed of Harry H. Blee, direc-
tor of aeronautic development, Depart
ment of Commerce, chairman, and rep
resentatives of the Army and Navy n.y.
ing services, the fire insurance under
writer's laboratories, the National Au-
tomato Sprinkler Association, the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters, the
.Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce,
the Bureau Of Standards and the Ma
tional Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics.
