MODEL PLANE
CONTEST TO BE
STAGED IN CITY
egion-S Sponsored Program
Has Record Number
of Entries.

The third annual National Model
Plane Contest, conducted by the
Aeronautics Commission of the
American Legion. will take place to-
morrow and Sunday, with a record
entry competing.
Starting at tomorrow morning
the indoor contests will be held at
Butler fieldhouse. Three events are
on the indoor program, one for
duration type planes, one for fuse
lage type and the third for expert
mental type.
Sunday, at the Municipal Airport,
action in the outdoor events will
get under way at 9, with entries in
four divisions. The outdoor events
will include fuselage types, speed
types, internal combustion engine
types and non-f1ying scale models.
Col. H. Wier Cook, city traffic
manager Of the American Airlines
in Washington, who makes his resi-
dence in this city, will be in charge
of the two-day program. Col. Cook
is national director of the Aeronau-
tics Commission Of the American
Legion. He will be assisted by
Howard Knots. Springfield, al,
chairman.
Prizes will be awarded to con-
testants for the first three places in
each of the seven events. Gas en-
gines, watches and binoculars are
among the many useful prizes to
be awarded.
The program will wind up Sunday

ing through the Heavens. It seems
TO me that since the clouds are
charged with electricity and the
earth attracts it and that as soon
as the charge is high enough the
electricity will jump the gap to-
ward the ground, that the airplane
would be sort of a way station be-
tween the clouds and the earth. The
lightning, I should think, will use
that path for a ready dash to earth.
Our transports, you will notice, fly
over the storms and hence are not
in danger of encountering this situ-
alton.
So then l turned back and landed
at an airport close to a town in the
heart of the mountains. And as
soon as I landed the usual crowd

It's touching the way these little
air enthusiasts greet you al
ways so anxious to help you. No
honor in the world can be as soul
satisfying and as inspiring as a
hearty welcome from children.

Will found politics fertile field
for his gags, and he worked IN
many a sly comment on national

One of the funniest of his
stunts concerned the late Calvin

love like a brother and who, in
turn, admired the comedian al
most as much as any other man
he ever met.
Shortly after Mr. Coolidge was
nominated for Vice President some
of the special writer's covering the
convention were commenting on
his apparent lack of humor None
of them could ever remember
having seen him even smile. Put
thus on his mettle, Will offered to
BET he could make Mr.. Coolidge
laugh the first time he met him,
and was promptly challenged.

moment and his pals were amazed
to see the stern visaged Yer
