SIX NAVY PLANES
WILL FLY PACIFIC
New Patrol Craft Will Be
Delivered Next Month
to Hawaii.

A fight of six new PBY-1 planes,
the latest naval patrol type, Is being
planned from the West Coast to Pearl
Harbor, T. H., next month
This program Is In keeping with
the Navy Departments plan to de-
liver new ships to the various naval
units concerned, serving the twofold
purpose Of practice flights and put
ting the equipment to its first real
service test.
Oflcials said the PBY-1 is a craft
OF the flying boat type and was con-
structed at the plant Of the Consoli-
dated Aircraft Corp. at Santa Monica,
Calf, where the naval airmen from
the feet have opportunity to watch
the developments. Desirable changes
can thus be made first hand. The
new patrol craft is a monoplane. 1872
feet high. with wing spread OF 104
feet. and is So feet. 6l2 inches IL,
length. Two Pratt g. Whitney engines
supply the motive power.
Wing Tip Floats.
The wing tip floats at the end OF
each wing are a special feature OF the
new plane. When in flight In the air
these wing tip floats become part OF
the wing proper and can be lowered
to balance the ship on the water, IN
taking of and alighting. This char
acteristic is credited with cutting
down wind resistance and speeding up
the craft.
The new ships will replace obso-
lescent types at the Fleet Air Base,
Pearl Harbor, T. H., which is near
Honolulu.
The PBY-l Is the structural de-
scendant of the XP3Y-l. which was
given thorough tests at the Naval Air
Station at Norfolk. Va. Patrol plane
squadrons of the Base Force on the
Pacific Coast have likewise put the
craft through its PAGES.

ern High School GYM
nasium Friday and Saturday nights
for dry course in skiing, preparing
for conquest of the slopes of the Al
leghanies and Blue Ridges this Winter
A great deal of tearing about on
ball-bearing skis and turning and
leaping in midair, under the super
vision of Douglas M. Burckett, ski
expert from Boston, was designed to
prepare District of Columbia knees
for sport that has attained popu-
larity all over the United States In
the past few years.

for the dry course, offered to men,

and the Maryland Mountain Club. 1t
Is predicted that skiing will reach the
same proportions around Washington
as it has in New England. There ski
trains depart from every station each
Winter Sunday morning, bearing thou
sands of persons in becoming cos
tunes and thousands of feet of var
nished hickory TO mountains undis-
turbed except by other skis and skiers.
First Snow Train Last January.
Last January the first snow train
left Washington with 20 aboard,
mostly novices at the runner mode
OF transportation, bound for Glenco,
Pa. 1853 miles away, according to
Waldo Holden, newly elected presi-
dent of the Washington Ski Club.
BY the end Of the season, In March,
the weekly jaunts had twice included
more than 100 ski-trippers, and he
imagines that the snow train this
Winter will carry several hundred
since viewing the turnout for the dry
courses Friday and Saturday. In that
event the railroad is willing to use q
four-hour train, rather than the five-
hour one run early this year.
Leaving at 8:l5 am, the snow train
reaches its destination at noon, and
those aboard may try their skill in
ideal skiing country until dark, when
the train returns.
Holden, who came from New Eng
land and learned to manage skis in
an expert fashion there, says he has
never seen nicer skiing territory than
that around Glenco. The club sent
out an airplane last Winter to ex-
anime trail possibilities from the air
and decided upon Glenco. Sixty Dis
trict skiers spent the night of Wash

who are said to be exceedingly hos
pitable. This season the ski train
will proceed over the top to Myersdale,
Pa, where there Is a hotel to ac-
commodate persons wishing to remain
overnight. Holden points out that
the skiing season around Washington
Is about four months long.
Fewer early-season spills will be
taken by Washington skiers because
