Enthusiastically endorsed the box
stalls around the field" at the
Polo Ball. April 6, at the May
flower Hotel.
Regardless of the fact that
the guests Of the many box
parties must enter these boxes
through stall door of typical
stable design, and sit among
feed boxes, saddles and brides,
and other equipment of the best
organized field stables. this de-
parture from the staid conven-
tional custom is heartily well
coined by all.
Polo Pony To Be Guest
There will be no need for
the stranger to ask, Whose
stall is that?" Hunter. the
Army's most revered polo pony,
will occupy his stall early in
the evening to prevent any
mistake wherein another box
holder might choose Hunters
stall.
Not only will the official flags
of the occupant be used to
designate the officials who have
engaged boxes but, above the
door of each STALL" along with
the record" of the occupant,
the name of each box holder
will be painted in true stable
style.
"Stalls'' Are At Premium
Approaching the unique,
demands have been so great
for the stables" of the lower
tier of boxes that Maj. Gen.
Van Horn Moseley, chairman
of the polo ball committee,
announced today that prac-
tically all of the stalls" are
engaged.

Parking brakes probably would
have been used on airplanes long

The new brake on the Pilgrim
is virtually fool-proof. 1t is operated
by q toe pedal, but the locking
mechanism Is worked bv hand. The
pilot must first press down on the
pedal. then pull a ring on the in
strument board, then release the
pedal. A second pressure Of the foot
releases the brake.
