The first few patches of inspection

that approximately 80 per cent Of
the vehicles inspected could be ap-
proved only after some repairs or
adjustments. Whether the heavy

A 16-year-old Washington boy
won The Evening Star Trophy
and other major prizesto provide
a Thrilling Iast-minute climax to
the National Capital Model Air
Show which was held all day yes
terday at the Hybla Valley (Va.)
Airport.
An estimated crowd of between
$1,000 and 10000 persons looked on
in admiration as the sleek planes
of Herbert Danick, 1928 Orren street
NE, ripped through the air at more
than 100 miles an hour to bring him
the avalanche of honorS.
His ability to fly the little gaso-
line-driven ships and graceful
gliders was shared to a lesser degree
with scores of other youngsters who
also won prizes and apparently
broke several long-standing records.
Warm breezes and the perfect
weather favored the event, which
was sponsored by the National Air
port Club in cooperation with the
Veterans of Foreign Wars and The
Star. 1t was sanctioned by the
Academy of Model Aeronautics.
Winning The Star Trophy and
Certificate brought Herbert the title
of Washington Area Champ. In
addition he won the National Air
port Club Trophy and was named
Meet Champ in the class of 18 years
old and under.

Contest was presented to him by

motors, batteries and plane kits won
ir other competition. Herbert left
the field with only one worry-hoW
to get home with his load.
| He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Irving Danick. A junior student at
Mckinley High School, he has been
building and flying model airplanes
since he was five years old. Mr.
Danick is a produce dealer.
Another coveted prize, the WV
Trophy, was won by Robert Nc
Carthy of Lockport, N. Y, who was
named Meet Champ in the class OF
is years and over. He also took top
honors in Class A and B in the con-
trol-line competition for those 18
years and over.
Although officials understood that
number of national records were
broken, they could not give details

Virginia Sees Surplus

Nine Areas by Aug. |

RICHMOND, July 21.-The Vir-

nounced today that a surplus OF
1925 workers is expected in nine
major employment areas in the
State by August l. In addition, q
surplus of 3,7O0 was predicted fol-
three other areas by September l
In Alexandria and the counties
of Arlington, Fairfax and part OF
Prince William a worker surplus
of about $50 is predicted. In that
area continuing heavy demands for
workers in the construction indus
try has created a shortage of skilled
labor.
In the Norfolk area, the employ
ment service reported, the largest
surplus between worker supply and
demand is expected and probably
will total about 5000 including
1900 men and 800 women.
Anticipated employment expan-
sion in Norfolk, Portsmouth and
contiguous counties did not mate
rialize during the past 60 days ano
instead decline of approximately
one per cent is noted in total per-
sonnel of firms reporting to the
employment service" the survey
stated.
Shortage Of materials which
closed several plants and cut the
workweek Of others, contributed
materially to this retrenchment
Labor disputes in the building ma
terials industry, scarcity of steel
and cancellation of Government
contracts precluded expected gains
in construction employment. Work
ers released from governmental es-
tablishments also exceeded previ-
GUS estimates.
The area includes the cities OF
Norfolk, Portsmouth, South Norfolk
and the counties of Norfolk and
Princess Anne with an estimated
population of 365 1000.

Left alone in the studio, Midge
wandered around, looking at Hen
rietta's work. It gave her an
eerie feeling to be sharing the
empty studio with these creations
of wood and bronze.
There was bronze head with
high cheekbones and a tin hat,
possibly Red Army soldier, and
there was an airy structure of
twisted. ribbon-like aluminium
which intrigued her a good deal.
There was vast static frog IN
pinkish granite, and at the end OF
the studio she came to an almost
life-sized wooden figure.
She was staring at it when Hen
rietta's key turned in the lock and
Henrietta herself came in slightly
breathless.
Midge turned.

"It's very good, Henrietta.'
Henrietta said lightly: "It's a

tossed her big satchel bag and her
furs on to the divan, and threw
down a couple of boxes of matches
on the table.

A family triumphant smile was
curving Henrietta's lips. Midge

through her as she reflected:
