u. S. Goes Ski Crazy, But Not Like This!

NEW YORK.-The man is not
resting on his knees, nor is he off
balance. He's skiing, and so is
America, but America goes in for a
simpler version of the sport.
This picture was taken at Madison
Square Garden during the indoor
winter sports show when Tomm
Murstad, Norway spe e d 81 ter,
dropped down the 58-foot slide. This
show ushered in what experts be-
ieve to be the biggest skiing win
ter the nation has ever experienced.
Another sport turned into an in
dustry, is what it amounts to. Like
golf, tennis, baseball and football,
skiing has become so popular In
northern states that many summer
hotels which usually close down for
the winter are remaining open
throughout January, February and
March. Ski trains and airplanes
each weekend carry thousands of
enthusiasts to isolated ski trails.
New England, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the Pacific mountain
states all report more participation

I put the flask to my lips and when
I drained it dry put it back in the
cupboard from which she had taken
it down.

"I mean, if we can, we'd better keep

Then she laid down her brush and
came and put her hands on my
shoulders.
''Can you get what I'm saying,
Richard? Or are you all in?"

too tired to make plans"

progress several years. In Russia
much ado has been made over TAX
ing youngsters aloft and allowing
them to bail out in parachutes,
thereby becoming air minded. Great
Britain has offered low-price in
struction to anyone who will take up
aviation. Even so, every world pow
er needs pilots desperately.
And the ominous warning to the
United States from experience of
other nations is that civilian train
ing is expensive in life and limb.
Germany and Italy have suppressed
accurate reports of fatalities among
student pilots, but the toll is known
to be enormous.
Ii Schools Listed.
The United States hopes its pro-
gram will be less costly thanks to
slower, more deliberate training
than that employed abroad. Schools
selected for the trial course are the
universities of Alabama, Minnesota,
Washington, Michigan, North Caro-
lima and Kansas, Purdue, Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology, Texas
A. and M. college, Georgia School of
Technology, New York university,
San Jose State college and Ramona
Junior college.
There will be no military course
involved, simply the rudiments of
flying. School authorities will select
candidates first, whose number will
later be decreased by Manipulating
on the part of army surgeons who
eliminate men not having reason
able chance of meeting the air corps
medical requirements.
The instruction course differs ma
terially from that now required for
private pilots license, but at the
end of about 35 hours instruction
each student is expected to be able
to pass the tests for this license.
An "alumni-refresher" program will
probably be instituted later to bring
graduates back for periodic train
ing. From this huge reservoir of
weIl-trained private fiiers the army
could expand its regular air service
tremendously in an emergency.
Gives Industry a Boost.
There is a second, and allied pur-
pose behind the Presidents pro-
gram. Americas aviation industry
cannot thrive on government sup
port alone. It is hoped that many
of the 20, 900 new pilots trained each
year will eventually buy their own
private planes. As further incen-
tive to airplane manufacture the
President is assisting In the sale of
American-made military planes
abroad, program which does not
meet with the whole-hearted en-
dorsement of congress since it may
be interpreted as constituting an en-
tangling alliance.
The expected congressional battle
over President Roosevelt's program
will center about one question:
Is a greatly expanded national air
force justified?
The negative side of this argument
holds that we are protected from
Europe and Asia by two ocean bar
riers, that no bombing plane yet
tried out can cross one of these
oceans with a full load of bombs.
It maintains that the army and navy
are the backbone of defense, there
fore our money should be spent
Strengthening these branches. It
maintains that the Presidents pro-

Reaching up as far as could, I
could actually grip the last but two
of the dogs driven into the side Of
the well.
Be sure tested the three as well
as could. Then mounted my Sec
ond lever and tested the fourth and
the fifth.
Though rust had corrupted them
all, they seemed to be sound, and
since they were very thick and were
almost certainly grappled behind
the stones of the wall, wasted no
more time, but swung myself up.
Once I was on the ladder, I called

''It's vital, Richard-vital. If we

raised her eyebrows there and gave
a little shake of her head. "I don't

in the picture-gallery.
By the light of the staircase-tur-

turned to her standing beside me,
picked up her little hand and put its
palm to my lips.

pered.
''And you, my dear. Look. I'll
keep my door open until you get to

So she lighted me on my way :.
When I came to the head of the
staircase, I purposely bore to the
left, and an instant later a torch
was flashed into my eyes.

now We'll go back to the tower.
That's enough for tonight"
In my room I gave him his or

suit which was so glad to take off.
Let no one see you do it, but
when you can tomorrow, conceal
this suit In the Rolls. And the next

VERY good, SIR" said Winter,
blinking. "And-and what about
this?'
MY shirt? oh, that doesn't mat
ter. Hang it out on"
And there stopped dead.
He was not holding my shirt.
What he was holding was one of
Elizabeth's dainty chenises with
which I had rubbed myself down.

new planes would cost millions of
dollars which could better be spent
on slum clearance, education, hous-
ing and other benefits needed by the
under-privileged. Finally, it claims
that current war talk is simply
propaganda designed to create pub
lie hysteria and divert attention
away from our economic plight.
Says q. S. Is Vulnerable.
But there is also much to be said
on the other side. Major Al VIII
iams, noted aviator and writer,
claims that Germany, Britain and
Italy already have planes which can
cross the Atlantic with full load of
bombs. He says nothing about their
returning after the bombing is ac-
complished, but a foreign power
might be willing to risk loss of sew
eral planes to gain its end.
Major Williams also maintains
that anti-aircraft guns are ineffec-
tive over 10000 feet, therefore they
would prove an inadequate defense.
Other pro plane" arguments con-
tend that the air superiority of four
other world powers is enough justif-
cation for trying to overcome our
inferiority.
Speaking only of its civilian pilot
program, the CAA sums up the adj
ministration's entire aviation argu-
ment quite conclusively: "Only by
such an approach can the United
States adequately safeguard itself
against the vast aerial expansion
programs now being pressed with
fanatic zeal by foreign powers
1t is more In keeping with the Amer
lean spirit Of preparedness to build
up a great pool of men and ma
chimes, dedicated to and engaged in
everyday business and pleasure, but
yielding first place to no other ma
ton in flying skill or technical de-
velopment, and quickly adaptable to
military needs in the event of war"
That's one side of the story. You'll
probably hear the other side from
congress.

US. Tests Pilot Training Program
AS Solons Ponder Appropriation
Administration Claims
Shortage of Aviators
Presents Peril
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

This month $50 youths be-
tween the ages of 18 and IS will
learn what makes an airplane
tick. In Is American colleges
they will serve as test tubes for
what President Roosevelt hopes
will become a long-range pro-
gram for training civilian pilots.
In January congress re-
ceived the Presidents re-
quest for a 100000 annual
appropriation to train 10000
pilots each year in higher ed
vocational institutions. To test
his plan Mr.. Roosevelt has
taken $100, 900 in National Youth adj
ministration funds, making allot-
ments to several colleges which
have already done independent work
In aeronautics.
Civilian pilot training is an adj
junct to national defense, and an
important one, judging from the ex-
perience of other nations. In case
of war it profits nation nothing to
have acres of airplanes if there are
no pilots to fly them. It profits still
less to send young men aloft into
dogfghts with a scant 80 hours train
ing behind them, as happened dur
ing the World war.
Quality, but No Quantity.
The administration contention
borne out by aviation experts-is
that the United States has an army
air force superior to all others in
quality, but that's as far as it goes.
We have no reserve, and far less
equipment than England, France,
Italy, Russia and Germany.
But every world aviation power
has one thing in common-a short
age of pilots. And every nation has
made frantic efforts to solve this
problem. In Germany, where the
Versailles treaty completely wiped
out aviation, shrewd national plan
ners popularized the sport of Gid
ing. As a result the Reich deveI-
oped huge army of air-minded,
air-trained youth who form the
backbone of its huge modern air
force. In Italy comprehensive pi-
lot training program has been in
