And this same student, who has
really gone into the thing seriously,
explained that a good ship will prac-
tically fly itself in the air. He also
explained the action Of the stick in. a
very clear manner, which is worth re-
peating.
THE stick moves in four directions.

right or left to tilt the ship sideways,
or forward and backwards to raise or
lower the tail. Now, if you will Just
keep in mind the thought that in
stead of moving, this stick is fastened
solid to the bottom of the ship. then
in whatever direction you pull on that
stick that is the way the ship is going
to move. If you pull 1t back toward
you, the ship will point up and start
climbing; if you push it away from
you, you will head down; if you pull
on the stick toward the right, the
ship will tilt to the right, and the
same If you pull on it to the left, you
will tilt to the left. Then, of course,
you move your rudder with your feet
to turn right or left just like you
would a sled or coaster wagon with

The moment the last take" is
made, Patsy Kelly is of to Redondo
Beach, where she spends the evening
at her favorite sport-penny roulette.
Hollywood parties see very little Of her.
Hers is down. -to-earth sort of living,
and down-to-earth humor goes with
it. She gets a good side slant on the
type of people she plays on the screen:
besides, as she frankly admits, she's
perfectly at home with them and loves
them.
CHE does no mugging, unlike most of
her predecessors. She manages to
look eager and bright and anxious to
please. Again, am reminded Of a
spaniel, for there is something visit
full in Patsy Kelly's astounding good
nature and anxiety TO be liked.
When. in the exigency Of a story, it
would seem that at last her indom-
liable spirit has been crushed. she
glances up at George Raft as he comes
into the room TO tell the girls they
are keeping too late hours and says,
quite casually, "Hiya, Warden!" You
give up and are Patsy Kelly's slave.
What's more, the girl can sing. I've
been watching her for quite some time
now, playing small bits with great
talent. Here's a big role played to
the hilt and sure future for her.

Patsy Kelly has been bobbing up in
pictures pretty regularly now. But
she's never had such chance as In

Unless I miss my guess, here's the
new slapstick darling-here's Amer
ica's sweetheart Of low-down-here's
comedienne whose broad understand
ing of humor has as much subtlety as
Mack Sennett policeman, but as
much punch also.
THIS isn't by any means quick
success of Patsy Kelly's. She has
been working for several years now.
She taught dancing in New York,
committing every day from her home
in Brooklyn, where she left family
of eight brothers and sisters whom
she was helping to rear and educate

to any so-called "stunt" or acrobatic
flying, no matter how simple-and
ii there is to be a parachute Jump by
anyone for exhibition purposes, the
jumper has to wear two 'chutes.
Summing up the cost, let us suppose
that you learn to solo in 6 hours. and
are satisfied to just get an amateur
license; it works out as follows:
Physical examination --------S 1000
6 hours dual instruction at
minimum rate of 81 an hour 42.00
25 hours solo flying at mini
mum rate of IS an hour 125.0o
Not bad as compared with golf
club dues and the cost of clubs. balls,
caddy fees. etc, for year, and the
beauty of it is that you can take it
in easy doses of say half an hour
at a time so that it is practically
painless.
And when you compare this figure
with the cost of learning to fly just a
few short years ago-why, it is ridicu-
lousy low, for 1t hasn't been so very
long since the minimum cost of in
struction was around $500, and many
schools charged $1,000 or more.
THE first solo flight is not always
the big thrill people like to
think. The big thrill comes when
you are all popped up. just learning,
and feel that you are in control Of
the ship yourself. although that feel
ing of being entirely alone does add
tt. 1t in some degree.
One chap said to me: "The first
time I soloed / didn't feel much diff.
ferent one way or the other until
got ready to land. Then kept think
ing Take it easy; people have been
killed in these things!-and breathed
a sigh Of relief when ] found ! was

major, was about to take her examina-
ton for transport pilots license?
Putting it in a nutshell, GOODNESS is
What it takes to fiy-the ability to
meet unexpected situations without
getting ratified, and a good example
OF this is given in the press reports Of
the private flyer who was up with
three passengers when he discovered
that he was about to lose a wheel. He
kept his head, and so did his passen-
gers, one of them flying the ship while
the pilot hung by his feet to put the
dangling wheel back where it be-
longed. Had any Of those folks lost
their heads a bad crash might have
resulted-but they didn't.
INSTRUCTORS size you up pretty
well before they will attempt to
teach you flying, and even after they
get you in the air they are liabe to
t '-e a notion to test your quality of
level-headedness, as one student
pointed out to me.

you could. Then I looked down and
say we were up over a lot of trees
and houses and the field was some
distance away. All of sudden the
motor died. so put her into a glide
and began looking around for a soft
spot to land on. Then the instructor
reached over and turnea the gas on
again-he had shut it of when he told
me to look how clear it was.

Smith, another of the pioneer i'm

popularize afternoon concerts when
churches were no longer available for
evening concerts and legitimate spoken

Anybody in good physical condition

to be wealthy to do so-nor is it
limited to men, for there are num-

the recent news items in the papers

peller of her ship fell of in one Of
those rare occurrences. She kept cool,

AfOgnak Island Elk

From an original start of eight animals placed there in 1928, the herd of Roosevelt elk on Afognak Island is now said to number about sixty. After a careful study of con ditions, the Commission has decided to make the Kodiak-Afoghak Is- lands group the principal range of these animals in the Territory. Transplantings from this main herd to other areas may be made if and when conditions are believed to be suitable.
 rntrodpe by private fur farming interests, CfaQcoons have escaped from captivity and are now found in the Petersburg vicinity. These furbearers are being carefully watched by the Commission to see how they adapt themselves to nat ural conditions, with view to pos sible future introductions on a larg CT scale.
 Classified in the Alaska Game Act as furbearer, the black bear has now, because of its low pelt value, become regarded more as a game animal. Big game hunters visiting the south coast of the Territory are seeking them as prized trophies of their hunt. Easily killed and with neither bag limit nor seasonal pro- lection when it's pelt is of little val ue, this animal is rapidly becoming
