AIR LEGION OBSERVES
SECOND ANNIVERSARY
Local Flying Organization Having
Brief Ceremonies at Hybla
Valley Today.

The second anniversary OF the estab-
Hshment of the District of Columbia
Air Legion, local flying club, is being
celebrated today by members at the
clubs flying field, in Hybla Valley, near
Alexandria, Va. There are to be brief
ceremonies In honor of officers and
members who have taken leading parts
In the legion's career.
During the past year the legion has
graduated 104 members from its ground
school, soloed % members and won rec
ignition of the American Society for
the Promotion Of Aviation as the most
successful flying club in the United
States.
The legion was organized in March.
1928, by a group Of young men and
women who desired TO learn to fly, but
could not afford the cost of attending
q recognized aviation school. They felt
that by sharing the expenses among
themselves they could materially reduce
the cost. It was decided that all men,
bers must pass a ground school course
before becoming eligible for flying tn
ptruction.
IN September, 1928, SUFFICIENT mem
berS having completed the ground
course, plans were made for purchasing
an airplane, and to raise the money
flying time was sold in advance at the
rate Of SIS per hour dual and $40 solo.
Flying instruction began November g.,
1928.
Officers of the legion are Alva Sole,
president; M. @. Dooley, vice president;
Miss Mary NJ Craig, secretary, and T..
j. Waggy, treasurer. Directors are Rob-
iert .. Burbank, G. X. Gladhill, H. 8.

Texas. He is TO go to California and
then come east on his tour OF this
country.
From the National Capital he will 60
to Florida about April IS and will return
to South America over the Pan Amert-

AIRLINE AVERTS
T|E-UP IN TRAFFIC.
Reserve Planes Are Rushed
Into Service as Fire De-
stroys Four Craft.

Fast work prevented an interruption
or even delay Of airmail service on the
Eastern Air Transport run through the
National Capital when all four mail
planes at the New York end of the
line were destroyed a few days ago in
a hangar fire at Hadley Field, N. j..
when the hangar crashed in on the
mail planes and completed their de-
struction, not single ship was LETT at
the northern end of the line to take
the mail southwark along the Atlantic
Seaboard that night" officials of the
line said.
Howard A. Elliott, operations man
ager, was In Atlanta, where he had
made a brief halt in a flight to Cuba.
While the hangar was blazing, Ralph
s. Westing, business manager, called
Mr.. Elliott from the main office III
Brooklyn over the teletype system con-
Meeting each of the airmail fields be-
tween New York and Atlanta and re-
ported the fire.
Mr.. Elliott Immediately ordered le-
serve planes put into service from Phil
adelphia and Richmond. Transmission
of these orders was completed before
the planes at Hadley Field had burned
completely and within a hour, the re-
serve planes were ready to leave for
Hadley, arriving there in time to take
the mail out on schedule.
Loss of the four planes will have no
effect on the Inauguration of double air.
mail service over the line on April ],
according to Mr.. Wrestling. There is suf-
ficient equipment to carry the services
through without new planes, including
the movement of six mail planes daily
between the National Capital and New
York. Delivery of new planes to re-
place those burned is to be made before
April l, however, it was stated. They
will be Pitcairn Super ailwings, of a
later type than those destroyed.
The new schedules call for six planes
daily between here and New York, the
most frequent service, It is said, over
any airmai1 line in the country; four
planes q day between this city and At
lanta, night service through Florida
and the addition of Charlotte, N. c.,

which he expects to complete In the
Siext two or three days.
And young Pendleton is most human,
too. He admits having funny feel

plane. Everybody else-wen, most
everybody-are Lindberghs and Goebels

AIMS TO PROMOTE
PRIVATE FLYING
Conference at Wright Field to
Consider the Building of
Cheaper Planes.

Efforts to increase the popularity Of
private flying by producing cheaper air.
planes will be considered at a confer
ence to be held at Wright Field, Day.
ton, Ohio, MAY 10 to 22. a= o part C.
the national technical aeronautic meet
ing of the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers.
THE aeronautic industry" it was
stated by the society in announcing the
conference, has realized for some time
the need Of perfecting production meth
DDS so as to reduce the cost of airplanes.
II there Is to be any greatly increased
use OF airplanes, it is essential that this
important problem be solved"
Dayton Meeting One of Series.
The Dayton conference is to be one
of series to be held for discussion of
the lowering of airplane costs to the
private pilot and owner. The first win
be held May in New York in con-
nection with the New York Airplane
Show, but win be confined more to the
reduction of maintenance costs than to
the lowering of the first cost.
Lowering of prices and increasing of
safety, so that the layman may learn
to fly as a private pilot without putting
in months of training time and hun
dredS of dollars for instruction, are re-
garded by many in the industry as
essential if aviation is to make real
progress.
The airplane must make the same
sort of appeal to the private owner as
the automobile, it has been pointed out
by a prominent aeronautical official
here. 1t should meet the requirements
of the man who cannot give his fun
time, or even large part of his time,
to flying, but who. can use only his
Sunday or Saturday afternoons and
Sundays for aerial travelling, with posi-.
bly, two-week trip In the Summer.
Such planes must be small, cheap,
easily maintained and safe, It was
pointed out. All of these phases Of
the problem are to be discussed at the
Dayton conference by leaders in the
various branches Of the industry.

Field, near Alexandria, Va.
In his address to the club Lieut.. Bar

as a sport and its value as training
for those who expect to fly powered
planes. He recounted his experiences
in the glider school at Cape Cod and in
his descent in glider from the Navy
0irigible Los Angeles.

CHARGED CABLES DIRECT
AVIATORS IN LANDINGS
Give Off Signals to Pilots to Guide
Planes Into Air

After year of tests charged cables,
laid either on top of the ground, car
ried on poles or buried in the earth,
have been developed experimentally for
guiding aircraft through fogs or dark
ness to airportS.
The system, based on the principle
of electro magnetic induction, consists
of two cables running from each of the
four sides of the airport in a v shape.
These energized cables give of signal
code which registers in the pilots head
phones.
One cable gives off a series of dots
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-03-23

and the other a series of dashes, show
ing the pilot whether he is to the right
or left of the proper landing direction.
Remote control permits the current
to be turned on only in those cables
running with the prevailing wind into
which the pilot must land. AS the plane
approaches the edge of the field the
sound given off increases. in intensity
until the edge of the field is reached,
where another series Of cables flashes

border.
