Few Aviators Attain
Highest Gliding Rank

There Is no sport which Is as sclen-
tihc as motorless flight. The suc-
cussful soaring pilot must not only
be skillful in handling his plane but
also needs to be something of a
mete0r0l0gist. He must have cour-
age and patience to a high degree
and must be a thorough and pains
taking student of his avocation.
1t takes years to become an ex-
pert the group ranking as such num-
bers only ten in the world. A special
rating has been made for them-the
3D. license-which Is given for the
following accomplishments a total Of
over five soaring hours; a distance
flight of at least so kiIometers; an
altitude flight to 1000 or more
meters above the starting point.
OsAfeara and Schempp are two
pilots In America who have fulfilled

other eight pilots are Germans.-Ar-

There is one critic who always
manages to get to the first assem-
bling of a Harold Lloyd picture
wherever it is made.
This practice hardly can be con-
sidered a breach of tradition, in
view of the fact that the critic is
Mrs. Harold Lloyd.
Now that Harold is dedicated
definitely to a new kind of comedy
characterization in 1.-The Cats Paw"
the buffooning boy grown older and
wiser though no less funny, he needs
the counsel of his wife more than
ever.
81 felt like the fellow who invites
his sweetheart to his first college
dramatic venture when 1 insisted
that Mildred appear at the first
filming of the new picture" Lloyd
said.
Against the advice of almost
every one, except the author of The
Cats Paw and a few others, I
buried the past screen characterize
ton, saving only a pair of horn
trimmed glasses and little more"
Lloyd's departure into the fresh
comic venture is in direct line with
his philosophy of life and work.
Born in Denver, the Lloyd family
moved to Beatrice, Neb., when Har-
old was a lad of g. His father was
not doing we'll so he and his mother
opened a popcorn stand and he sold
while his mother popped the corn.
Later, the family had saved
enough in this way for them to re-
turn to Denver, and Harold, like
many another American millionaire,
bought a Newspaper route-from the
Denver Post-acting in stock when
the occasion offered.
In 1911, Lloyd played the part of
an Indian in his first motion pic
ture. His script called for a grunt
and a couple of fine feathers, and
that was about all.
Family troubles, however. forced
the young Lloyd to abandon picture
hopes and go back to other work.
Then Harold's father suggested that
he return to Hollywood and there
was the Edison company, in their
new quarters.
He got extra roles on the strength
Of his veteran Indian part and
shortly thereafter met another ex-
ira named Hal Roach, then at the
Universal lot.
With characteristic spunk the
young actor decided to go into the
film business by himself. He had
been raised to IS a day, but knew
that was the high in extra roles, and
Roach soon inherited a few hundred
dollars, making the venture possible.
The two producers worked hard
and interested Pathe in their one
reelers, in which Harold evolved the
