YUMA SUNSHINE
CAPITAL OF u. S.

YUMA, Ariz., July 81 U.PD =
Yuma, according to the local U. S.
meteorologist, is the sunshine capi-
tai of the United States. In figures
recently compiled, it was revealed
that over a period OF 80 years, the
sun shines an average of 10 hours
and SIS minutes a day, the largest
share coming in June, 13 hours and
54 minutes, and the smallest in De-
cember,, hours and 48 minutes.
A temperature of 80 degrees in
this vicinity will kill tender vege-
tation and will cause killing frosts
Figures over a period of so years
show the latest 80 degree reading in
Yuma in spring was in March; the
earliest in the fall, November; the
average earliest, January. During
eight winters the minimum did not
drop to 80 degrees.

WILL BE SOUGHT
FOR AMATEUR FLYERS RECORDS
Two Air Legion Members
Groomed for National
Competitions.
Miss Craig May Fly in Derby.
CaIIam Out After
Altitude Mark.

International recognition of records
established by amateur pilots, as sepa-
rate category barred to competition by
aviators who have flown for hire or
award" will be requested OF the FED
Grafton AeronautiQueS 1nternatlonaie
through the National Aeronautic AsSo-
citation, United States governing BODY,
according to plans of the District OF
Columbia Air Legion announced by /. y
Waggy, manager of the local flying CLUB
At the same time Mr.. Waggy an
nounced that two legion members are
being groomed for participation In ma
tional competitions. Miss Mary Craig
the legion's smallest pilot, who hys sit
ting on pillows so she can see over the
cowling, has been asked to train for
the national women'S derby, to be helo
in connection with the national all
races at Chicago late in the Summer
Alexander Callam, master OF cere-
monies at the Fox Theater, now Is
training for an attempt to establish an
amateur altitude record.
Seeks to Stir Interest.
If an international amateur category
cannot be established, efforts Will be
made to have such a category for the
United States, Mr.. Waggy said, as
means of stirring up interest IN avia-
ton competition among private flyers.
THE legion" Mr.. Waggy said, has
felt for some time that this new class
of records should be set up. 1t is most
unfair for the flyer who Is in the air
an hour now and then for his own
pleasure to be forced to compete with
the professional flyer in the matter OF
records. An amateur category, If adopt
ed at this time, would be an added in
centive for persons flying for the sport
of 1t, and would add zeSt to the matter
of piling up time for the various
licenses"
VIII Go Ahead With Plans.
The matter Of an amateur category
was discussed by John Arthur Shaw,
counsel for the legion, with the late
Count Henri de la Vaulx, president OF
he F. A. l., who was killed in a crash
in New Jersey few days ago, and 1t
vas because of the counts agreement
with the suggestion that the legion has
decided to make the request, it was
said
The legion. however, will not wait for
the recognition of amateur records, Mr.
Waggy said, but will go ahead with
plans to establish unofficial records as
a part of it's campaign for official desig-
nation of whatever future records may
be made.
Callam, who made his first solo flight
as legion member several weeks ago,
has been designated by the legion to

RADIO DIRECTION
FINDER IS TESTED
New Type for Use by Planes
Is Expected to Aid
Flyers.

Laboratory tests of a new type of
radio direction finder for use in air
craft now are in progress at the Bureau
of Standards, with flight tests to follow
as soon as the laboratory work Is COM
pleted. The bureau also Is conducting
research work on receiving antennaS
for airplane work to meet the need for
better reception of radio range and
other signals.
Both research projects are necessary
to improve the radio navigation OF air
planes and to combat the hazards Of
flying In fogs when visual navigation
Is impossible, it has been announced.
Supplements Beacon System.
The radio direction finder, accord
ing to officials of the Bureau OF Stand
ards, offers a means of navigation for
the itinerant airplane pilot or for any
aircraft, regardless of whether 1t fol-
lows the regularly established airways,
and thus supplements the Department
of Commerce radio range beacon system.
The finder has been developed so as
to operate satisfactorily under the worst
conditions of atmospheric or external
interference and may be used either to
guide the plane to a field from which
the radio range broadcast Is being sent
or to give bearings on radio range sta
tions off the course.
Improved Antennas Needed.
Improvement of airplane antennas is
urgently needed, and the Bureau OF
Standards has reopened research work
of this type. Accumulation Of ice on
vertical pole antennas may cut down
signal reception and may even set up
vibrations which will break the antenna
or endanger the airplane, bureau engi-
neers have learned. Other types Of an
tennas, used without poles, have been
found subject to errors in the reception
of radio beacon signals. The tests now
in progress will cover all types Of hxed
antennas which may be built into the
plane.

NEW AIR LINE TO TRAVERSE
SECTIONS RICH IN HISTORY

The next airways beacon on the line
is located at Downings, Va. also in the
Rappahannock Valley. Site 8 Is the
second intermediate landing field. This
Is located near Warsaw, Va, the little
town which has gained much notoriety
during the past few days as the home
of two OF the figures in the Mary Baker
murder case. Warsaw is midway be-.
tween the Rappahannock and Potomac,
Rivers and is 60 miles from the nearest
railroad. A peaceful, isolated country
village, 1t now has become one of the
key points on what promises some day.
to be heavily travelled air channel
There is an Always beacon located
at Site 9, near Machodoc, on the shores
Of winding Nomini Creek. Capt. Smith
mentioned Nomini in his reports of his
Potomac River explorations. 1t was
here that he reported seeing many In
dams. The airway crosses Nomini Bay
and then the Potomac River, very wide
at this point. The Maryland shore is
reached at Palmer, also known as Ko-
pels Point. There Is a popular point
for fishing parties visiting the banks
of Blackstone and Heron Islands.
There is a beacon at Palmer. The
Blackstone Island Lighthouse also fur
check on his course.
Site IL Is an intermediate field and,
beacon on the shores of the Wicomico
River above Rock Point. This field is
near the little settlement known as Ehi-
lob, on the west bank Of the Wicomico.
The field is slightly to. the left of the
direct line of the airway, but Is so close
as to be within gliding distance for
planes travelling the direct line. The
Department Of Commerce negotiated
for field on the east bank of the
WicOn1iCO more nearly m the line h,1k-
was unable to come to terms with the
owners. s
The next beacon, at Site ~, is mid
way between Port Tobacco, one of the
oldest trading settlements in this part
OF the Potomac Valley, and Hughesville,
Md, on the Washington eonardtown
road The final beacon is located on
the banks OF Mattawoman Greek near
Waldorf. Md
Boiling Field is designated Tempo
rarily as the Washington terminal on
the line.
Section Near Completion.
The Washington Norfolk airway Is a
continuation of the Cleveland Pitts
burgh- Washington airway, now nearing
completion. The Washington Pitts.
burgh section of the airway Is sched-,
uled to be completed not later than
Department of Commerce indicated
that IL towers have been erected and
IL beacons mounted.
The Inauguration Of airmaf service
over the airway, as an extension of the
present Cleveland Pittsburgh service, is
expected to follow completion of the
airway. Though the present contract
airmail service does not extend beyond
Pittsburgh, the Clifford Ball System,
operators of the mail line, has extended
aerial passenger and express service
from Pittsburgh to the National Capt.
tai, using Hoover Field as the local
terminal

Scenes in nearby Maryland and Viz
GINA rich in colonial lore and Civil
War history, many of them now mac
ceSsible to the average tourist, will be
traversed soon by the most modern
type of highway in the history OF mod
ern Civilizations new airway now
being established by the atrways divi-
sion Bureau of Lighthouses, of the De-
partment of Commerce from the Ma
tional Capital to Norfolk, Va.
The airway follows the airline be-
tween the two cities, a route unknown
to travellers in the past. 1t traverses
part of Maryland, crossing the Potomac
River from Blackstone Island. the
first Catholic settlement in America,
to Nomini Greek, first seen by Capt.
John Smith; then cuts across the
Northern Neck of Virginia to the Rap
pahannock River at Millenbeck.
Thirteen sites have been laid out be-
tween the two cities for intermediate
fields or Always beacons, according to
Charles I. Stanton of the airways divi-
sion. Bids for erection of the beacons
and installation of boundary lights and
other equipment have been opened,
the low bidder asking $4,000 for the
work. The contract may be let this
week. The beacon sites and landing
fields are numbered from Norfolk toward
Washington.
The first site Is used as an inter
mediate field. It is the landplane field
at the Hampton Roads Naval Air Sta
ton, one of the most important sta
lions on the East Coast. All the planes
from the Navy carriers may be based
there for time next month while the
mother ships are based in Hampton
Roads.
Cuts Across James River.
the mouth of the historic James River,

airway passes near Old Point Comfort
and Site No. 2, also an intermediate
field, is at Langley Field, Hampton,
Va, the base of the Army Air Corps
End Bombardment Group and of the
Air Corps Tactical School.
The Department of Commerce will
not do any work at either of the first
two sites and they will be available for
use only in case of emergency.
Site No. 3, a beacon location, will be
at Seaford, approximately 10 miles from
Langley Field. The course followed
carries the airway across the mouth
of the York River near Gloucester Point
ana along the shore of Mobjack Bay.
Site 4, approximately 40 miles from
Norfolk, viii be an "a" type airways
beacon, located near Zanon1, va. Tnere
will be an intermediate landing field
and beacon at BANDS Wharf, on the
Piankatank River. BANDS is known
for its boat yard, specializing in the
rebuilding of wide beamed type of open
motor dory which Is characteristic of
marine architecture in the Chesapeake
and its tributaries. There are noted
oyster beds at BANDS.
Site is a beacon, located on the
shore of the Rappahannock near Mil
lenbeck. This is bad storm area and
there is a weather information station
at Urbana, not far from this beacon
site. connected by teletype with the
National Canital and other fields.
