and those duties that fall naturally
within the sphere of men charged
with the protection of human life
and property. But each prospective
guard must, nevertheless, go through
the PAGES before he can actually take
up duties with the patrol.
This school is located in the court
of the Tariff Building, at Eighth and
E streets, and here the men are
taught fire control, policing, patrolling,
pistol practice and courtesy. Glasses
are from l pm. to 9 pm, and every
prospective guard serves at least a
week here before he is assigned reg
ular duties by Capt. Hoagland in
the Justice Building. Moreover, he
is sent back to school periodically
While on the staff, so that every mem
Der keeps in step with developments
OF the times in the work of protection.
Some idea of the thoroughness with
which training is undertaken may be
gained from the curriculum of this
school. Such courses as fire equip
ment, fire fighting, inspection of
buildings, legal duties and response
bilities, courtesy and customs of serv-
ice, fire hazards, patrol and passes,
uniforms, fire arms. flags; pistol prac-
tlce, first aid, accident prevention, are
given.
Aside from the work included in
the classes themselves, all prospective

ment, 7 intermediate floors and an
attic to be constantly guarded
On each floor are IL watch boxes
or watch stations. In the basement
are "a. The next time you visit the
building take note of those little
square panels, the size of small
plate, set unobtrusively, flush with the
wall, at various intervals along the
corridors. They are the points of con-
tact, where every man calls period
ically into headquarters, just as
policeman on his beat telephones the
desk sergeant. They are the means,
too, of reporting fires or unusual or
disturbing events or getting in touch
with Capt. Hoaglands Office, for by
means of special plug, carried by all
guards, and set of headphones, any
one of the men on duty can freely
converse through the little panel with
those in the Office of the captain of
the guard, flashing the patrol SWITCH
board. Building fire alarm boxes are
located at the majority Of the watch
stations.
AS the set-up on each of the seven
floors of the Justice Building is prac-
tically the same. a guard who has
learned the routes and locations of
the watch boxes on one floor is able
to make the rounds on any floor with

to California, where he learned to fly
paying for instruction with savings
from a $25-a-week job. In the early
20s he bought an old wartime Jenny
and went a-barnstorming. With q
friend, he formed small business
the sort of aerial circus common in
that day. They stunted, taught a
little, took for IS rides few indi-
viduals whose pocketbooks matched
their daring.
Among Frye's students in 1924 were
Walter Hamilton and Paul E. Richter,
both now officials of T. w. A., with
whom he formed partnership. A
series of mergers interviewed between
their first enterprise, a passenger and
freight service between Los Angeles
and Phoenix, Ariz., and the present
organization, Of which Frye was made
president in 1884. when only 81 years
old.

EVERY man pstrolling corridors,
basement or attic carries as part of
his regular equipment set Of head
phones. These resemble the ordinary
French hand set and can be plugged
into any watch station.
Inasmuch as the guard assigned to
patrol the court must, as part Of his
duties, take note of all cars entering
or leaving the court. he is summoned
by bell. in addition to the usual flash
on his substation switchboard.
This is by no means the only bell
in this complete and intricate system.
There are bells of all notes-soft, tin
king bells and loud, booming bells,
officious, changing bells and continu-
Gus, buzzing bells. One particularly
aggressive bell set up such a clangor

able bridge and poker player, and
reads omnivorously. Conservative in
clothing tastes, his favorite colors are
various shades of blue. Night life
doesn't appeal to him, nor is he much

He'd rather sit around home with wife

present particular problems of pro-
lection for which the guard receives
special training.
Every new man who is put into
service makes his rounds for a time
in company with an old hand, until
he is judged competent to patrol
alone. There are five patrol routes
in the Justice Building, covering ap-
proximately miles of corridors, and
while the time between punching into
the various watch boxes is different
according to conditions, As minutes
or an hour usually elapse between each
report from any one station. That is,
it takes man, ordinarily, from As

and properly inspect it between watch
boxes.

there without damage to his scholar
ship record or his economic advance
ment, young Smith was president of
his class in the university's School of
Business Administration and a MEM
Der of two fraternities, one honorary.
GRADUATING in 1924, Smith moved
to Dallas. became a public ac-
countant and met A. P. Barrett, a
fortunate contact, for Barrett, a util-
tiles magnate, took fancy to the tall
young college graduate and made him
assistant treasurer of the Texas-Louis-
lana Power Co., in 1928 That's how
Smith entered the aviation industry
Barrett bought Texas Air Transport,
an air mail line operating between
Dallas. Fort Worth, Brownsville and
Houston. His young protege immedi-
ately was offered the treasurership in
which position he continued when
Southern Air Transport was organ
lied as holding company for Texas
Air and affiliates.
Not content to spend his time jotting
figures in ledger and preparing re-
ports, Smith arranged with an S. "A:
T. pilot to instruct the pilot in busi-
ness administration methods in ex-
change for flying lessons. He earned
pilots license and spent as much
time as possible hanging around shops
and operations Offices, acquainting
himself with the business and its men,
Smith made friends so readily that
today he calls by their first names

Leaders Have Faced Tests
in Other Lines Before
Directing Planes.
By William Bell, j,..

4 MERICA'S jor airline execu-
~ tiveS are as relatively young
~ in years as the lusty busi-
A nesses they direct They are
proof of the fact that there is room
on top of the ladder in new field
for men with new outlook. They
are younger, even, than the average
passenger on their sky liners, who is
about 43 to their less-than-4O.
The careers of these men have tele-
scoped time just as their transport
planes telescope space. At "a, 81, 80,
they head organizations whose size
and scope belle the ages Of the men
who direct them, as well as the brevity
of the history of their development
from loosely organized, widely-scat-
tered, impecunious units into compact,
smoothly-run major businesses.
Much! is read and heard these days
of industrial leaders, labor leaders, po-
litical leaders-their histories, their
personalities, their peculiarities, their
appearances. But the country knows
little of the leaders Of its big COM
mercial aviation companies, probably
because most of them are too young
to be thought of in biographical terms.
Furthermore, there Is little of the
spectacular about them or their jobs
Pilots and planes furnish the drama
