Keystone Auto Club Pledges
Aid to Soap Box Derby

The success Of Washington's first
Soap Box Derby last year demon
strated that 1t is a definite asset in
the effort to promote safety in the
Nations Capital, George E. Keneipp,
manager Of the keystone Automo-
bile Club and one of the sponsors of
the 1899 Derby said today.
Mr.. Keneipp pledged to The Star
and the American Legion the aid of
Keystone in staging the Derby on
July 8, including the services of the
clubs uniformed automobile patrol.
"The wholesome influence upon
the large number of boys participat-
ing annually is easily apparent to all
who are familiar with the efforts
now being put forth in the Capital
to protect life and limb" Mr..
Keneipp said.
Sidecars to Have Equipment.
"In making themselves and their
vehicles ready for the tests imposed
by the Derby, the boys cannot fail
to be forcibly impressed with the
imperative necessity of proper brakes
and use of them and dependable
steering gear and skillful employ
ment of it.
"As formerly, the keystone Auto
mobile Club is very glad to extend
the services of its uniformed motor
patrol toward helping to make this
years Soap Box Derby another not
able success. The patrols motor
cycle sidecars will carry mechanical
and other equipment for which need
may arise"

be able to fly as do the soaring
birds. Those who have done much
soaring are all agreed that this
flying without power or noise is
the most thrilling, most interesting
and most satisfying sport in which
one can indulge.
Gliding and soaring carry ire
mendous appeal to the youth of the
country and satisfy for many the
strong desire to fly when the ex-
pense of power flying is beyond their
means"
Total Above Record.
There are now known total Of
375 gliders and 100 sailplanes in the
United States, and 1000 glider
pilots have been listed by the society.
These figures, however, are believed
to be far short of actual totals,
since many of.the States do not re-
quire registrations, nor does the
Federal Government, unless flying
is to be carried on within Is miles
of a Federal airway. No accurate
check can be made, consequently.
Very few glider pilots today hold
licenses, since many States do not
require them to obtain permits I'M
less they operate commercially, and
few States require glider pilots to
hold Federal certificates.
There are $50 glider and soaring
clubs in the United States, and
about 40 per cent of the members
Of these clubs also are members
of the Soaring Society Of America,
which today has a membership Of
975 and expects soon to pass 1000,
with membership Of 1000 as its
goal.

nual National Soaring Contest at
Elmira during the past summer by
1t. Robert M. Stanley, U. S. N.
The glider duration record Of So
hours IS minutes is held by Kurt
Schmidt, Germany. The American
record of 81 hours "a minutes was
made in Hawaii by It. William
Cooke, jr., of the Army Air Corps.
The international and national
records for flights to a definite, pre-
determined goal are in dispute
Woody Browns present national
distance record flight also was goal
fight, which would make the Amer
lean record 263 miles. During the
past summer a Russian pilot, P.
Zatzov, made a goal flight of 257.957
miles, and later another one Of 1853
miles. The September list of new
international records recognized by
the Federation Aeronautique Inter-
rationale, however, failed to give
the 353-mile flight official standing,
and the 257-mile flight was recog-
nized as the international mark.
Since the F. A. I. will not permit its
American representative, the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association, to
recognize national record that is
greater than the international, there
now is no official national goal flight
record.
Last year two goal marks Of 225
miles from Elmira to the National
Capital were made, one by 1t. Stan
ley and the other by Peter Reidel of
the German Embassy.
For multi-seater sailplanes, the
world records are: Distance, 1886 093

Falls, Tex, resulting not only in a
number of excellent records, but in
the firm establishment of thermal
soaring for both sport and contest
purposes. Previously, soaring was
confined to mountainous country in
which the winds. detected upward
by mountain ridges, provided the
rising currents necessary for soar
ing flight.
Record Over Flat Country.
Warm air rising from heated
ground areas, such as plowed fields,
stretches of sand or meadows, Gre
ating thermal currents, may be
found in the --LATEST of country,
however, making possible soaring
flights far from the mountains. This
years distance record of 263 miles
was made over fiat country during
the Wichita Falls meet by Wood
bridge P. Brown of La Jolla, Calf.
A year earlier, Levin B. Barringer,
vice president of the society, using
thermals over the same terrain,
flew 2l0 miles. The world record
of 465.532 miles, held by Soviet Rus
STA, was made by thermal soaring.
A positive advantage of soaring
over fiat, open country is that pilots
may continue to fly after nightfall,
confident of being able to find good
landing conditions. The necessity
for landing in mountainous country
before nightfall has robbed many a
soaring pilot of a chance at records.
Mountain soaring, however, is not
to be neglected, and the Federal
Governments only national glider
site, established four years ago in
the heart of Shenandoah National
Park, in a mountaip-top meadow
astride the Blue Ridge, probably will
be the scene of intermittent activ-
tiles from now on. The chief diff
Guilty at this site, of bringing back
to the starting point gliders which
have landed in the valleys, has been
lessened by completion of the Sky
line Drive. Possibilities of flying
from the Virginia Blue Ridge have
been explored by such national lead
ers as the late Warren E. Eaton,
founder and first president of the
society, and Richard G. du Pont,
president and q former soaring
champion.
1.-THE sport Of soaring is without
equal" the society has explained.
ITO be able to fly silently without
effort for hours at time, to climb
thousands of feet aloft, and to sail
from cloud to cloud across the
countryside, is the fulflllment of
the age-old desire of mankind to
