Want to learn something en-
tirely different, meet a fine new
class Of people, enter an exciting,
strange world? Learn to fly.
Dangerous? Statistics based on
one hundred million passenger miles
show that air travel is exactly twice
as safe as riding in an automobile.
safe as riding In An automobile.
Expensive? SIS a month will buy
your lessons. Difficult? Six months
home study and eight hours in the
air will win you your wings.
T'aint true today that flying is
mans exclusive pleasure any more
than anything else is. Before the
war, only one half Of one per cent
Of the country's flyers were women.
This year, that average will be some
thing like five per cent. and 1t is
climbing steadily. No, 1t is no longer
true that there are wings for the
angels but feet for (wo)men." Every
day more and more modern misses
are discovering how wonderful it is
to have wings while they are alive
and how much more excitingly alive
they can be with wings!
Amelia Earhart, of course, was the
great pioneer in women's aviation.
Jacqueline Cochran Is today's tops,
with gals like Ruth Nichols and
Marge Hurlburt not far behind her
in air achievements. Marge, who
holds the women's speed record, is
an ex-school teacher turned bird
woman. -
The WASPS had q lot to do with
putting more women into the air.
More formally called the Womens
Airforce Service Pilots. they were
the lassies who during the war fer
ried everything from giant bonbers
to light fighter planes from the fac
tories to Army air bases across the
country. releasing needed male
pilots for duty overseas.
Answering the ever-increasing de-
mand for flight instruction. many
reliable flying schools have been es-
tablished all through the United
States in the past few years. Some
colleges, like Stephens in Missouri,
offer flight instruction as a part Of
their curriculum. But perhaps the
most ambitious and far-reaching
school Of the air yet established is
the one called the National Flight
System. In its inception lies an in
|teresting story.
Men and women who fly are a
breed unto themselves. Vigorous,
alert, imaginative. They love the
air 50 much 1t is sometimes almost
impossible to get them down into
earthbound methods of transporta-
ton. Lots Of people today can fly
who are terrified Of learning to
drive an automobile! They love the
air 50 much they grow almost in

coherent in trying to explain its
fascination to earthlings; love it
so much they want everyone else
to fly, too.
Such a one is Dick Powell-yes,
the beeg film star One of Holly
woods most enthusiastic airmen, in
a colony that abounds with them,
he has for years owned and flown
his own planes. But few people
are SO fortunate financially as to
be able to afford either the crafts
:nanship or the aircraft. Like auto
mobiles and pianos and radios, air.
planes and flying lessons would
have to be mass produced to bring
them within the means of the aver
age person.
Dick Powell decided to tackle at
least the latter half of the problem,
and thus the National Flight Sys-
tenn was born on the West Coast
four years ago. Now, with the CO.
operation of airfields around the
country, airplanes, too, through
rental, are within the means of
the majority-at least that por-
ton Of the majority who belong
to NFS.
NFS now has offices in over 80
cities. The Washington branch
mas been open since the first of
this year; there is another in Bal
timore. Dick Powell's goal of q
million students a year is within
sight. A million new flyers in one
year for the United States whereas
before the war there were only half
million flyers in the entire coun-
try!

flys from the first lesson on, and
in addition has all sorts Of extra
benefits available to her, from dis
counts on airplane rentals to par
ticipation in various social activi-
ties organized by NFS, like sunrise
flights and hangar dances.
The Flight Package is aimed d.
rectly at the college student and
the career girl, both In cost and
method of instruction. Over 40
per cent of NFS students are wo.
men and most of these young bust
ness girls. Sometimes you run
into a case such as here in Wash
ington where a mother and daugh-
ter are studying together for their
wings. At any rate, with schools
like this open, there's no longer
any excuse for that old "I'd love to
learn to fly but :" Get smart
and get in the air!

ROOFING VIOLETS.

FLOO4 llN1 NAoAC 40
(From r. E. B.. Washington.)
I note with interest your request
to me to help you root an African
violet leaf. I really had thought
I made this pretty clear in my
letter to the Clearing House, but
will try to explain further.
First Of all, select a healthy leaf,
or better still, several leaves in
case they all don't take. Il have
never had leaf fail to root 1t is in
the planting stage that they be-
come contraryD Cover a small
fruit Juice glass with a piece Of wax
paper and secure it tightly with a
rubber band. The glass is first
filled nearly to the top with tepid
water. Make a small hole in the
paper with pencil, one for each
leaf to be inserted Then place
the leaves in the water, through
these holes in the paper. The OBJ
ject is to keep the stems entirely
submerged in the water without
getting the leaf itself wet. When
the leaf becomes wet, 1t will rot or
spot, and often times become en-
tirely limp
That is really all there is to it.
Keep the glass in light, but not SUM-
light. I generally change the water
after two weeks, as this change
causes the roots to form faster.
When the roots are quite long, you
will notice that small leaflets will
form at the base of the leaf. These
are very interesting. and keep get
ting larger and more numerous
When these leaflets are about a
half inch long. take the leaf out
Of the water, by tearing the paper
so as not to hurt it. and then
plant 1t in a small pot, less than
two inches across, for the first stage
of growing in dirt. The dirt is
mixed according to the directions
given In my other letter, and the
mother-leaf propped up with tooth
picks, so as not to fall over. When
the leaflets are about an inch big
I remove the mother-leaf, and il
still healthy, root it over again
This small plant is kept in the little
pot, until the leaves extend over
the edges all around it, and then
transplanted once more to a larger
pot. If the pots are not too big
the plant will drink its water in
a shorter time and 1 have found
that more satisfactory.
This first or water-stage o1
growing sometimes takes five or six
weeks, so do not be discouraged
about it being slow. Really. this
should be called a Patience Plant
for you certainly do moot it.
