The first five awards, totaling
$500, will be donated by the
Ninety Mines, Inc, an interna-
tional organization of over 1850
women pilots. The group was
formed by the late Amelia Ear
hart and SO other pioneer wom-
en- pilots.
Mrs. Bonn and I were very
honored recently, when Gov. ].
Willard Tawes invited us to his
office" Ellen said. He official
ly proclaimed the week of July
1927, as Women in Aviation
Week." Mrs. Bateman attended
the event as the only Maryland
representative in the Powder
Puff Derby.
Sponsors of the air race, be-
sides the Ninety Mines, are the
National Association of Stock
Car Auto Racing, Valair Air
craft Inc, and Pure Oil, Inc. "In
II years, there has never been a
personal injury or fatality in a
Powder Puff Derby" Ellen
notes. A few planes have been
slightly damaged due to forced
landings, she added.
For the 18th consecutive year,
an amateur radio network will
cover every hour of the air race,
according to Mrs. Benn.
This will be Ellen Bateman's
first crack at the Derby race,
but she Is no stranger to COM
petitive races in the past. Last
year she participated in the In

ton, Tex. to Nassau, flying a
Cessna 172. Last May she pilot

the international Air Race, her
first solo flight.

Her record is admirable in view
of the fact that she is full-time

in Virginia.
"And keeping up with Danny
Is no mean task either" the di-

has also lowered teacher morale.
Possibl yaccounting also for
the increased designations and
fewer new applications is the
rising pay scale for beginning
teachers with B.A. degree in
other school systems in the
Washington area.
Montgomery County's starting
figure is $500. formerly the
highest In the Washington area,
while the District and Arlington
County are now paying $4,000.
Montgomery County, whose
school enrolment expands an
nually by 5000 to 5000 pupils,
must recruit teachers from all
over the nation.
During the 12-month 1928
school year a total of 5000 appli.
cations were received. For the
10 months of the 1928 school
year, through June with July
and August remaining, only
2,400 applications have been
received. On the basis of past
experience, school officials say
it is safe to conclude there will
be many fewer applications this
year than last.
In the past five school years,
prior to 1928 for which fig.
ures cannot yet be compiled, the
following total new teachers
were hired: 1888, 784; 1889,
$50; 1959-60, 622; 196O.61, S54,
and 1852, 966.
Officials responsible for hir-
ing new elementary and second.
airy teachers say they are still
hiring for the coming school
year. Untitled vacancies in the
secondary category are most
acute in general science and
various combination courses
while biggest untitled category
at the elementary level Is in spe.
cial education.
designations continue nor.
mally through July and August,
however. sometimes up to the
last minute before the schools
open In September" according
10 school officials.
During the coming year there
will be an increase of only seven
teaching positions in the school
system - from 5000 to 1916 -
despite an estimated pupil
increase of 500 bringing the
total enrolment to 100000.

the 18th annual All-Woman
Transcontinental Air Race, pop
ularly known as the Powder
Puff Derby" according to Mrs.
Vo<a Benn, Washington chapter
chairman of the Ninety Mines,
Inc, sponsor of the race. Ellen's
plane will be one of AZ entries,
she noted.
Since discontinuance Of the
Bendix Race, the Powder Puff
Derby has been the largest air
race in the world, according to
Mrs. Benn. Leaving from Bak-
ersfield, Calf, Saturday at 8
am, the planes will follow a
prescribed route, landing finally
at the National Aviation Facili-
ties Experimental Center at At
lantic City, N. j., July II.
"She has a good chance to be
among the top five winners ac-
cording to Mrs. Benn. Her pilot,
who has the necessary CONNER
cial license to fly the plane, is
Mrs. Nancy Lyman of Florida,
the wife of a Navy test pilot.
"As a flight instructor" Mrs
Benn added, II have great hopes
for Ellen. She is an excellent
pilot" Ellen's private license

He has arranged, for American

tunes and national anthems.
which are played at social func.
tons, diplomatic affairs,
parades and national holidays.
Thus, U. S. Army bands all over

now" Sgt. Croy says, "is this
six-part suite I'm working on.
THE Blue and the Gray" writ
ten for symphonic band, with
chorus and narrator, is a mass
i've work, a kind of musical
documentary of the Civil War
years"
Karl Eigsti, formerly with the
U. S. Army Band, now a Full
bright scholar studying In Eng
land, wrote the narration. and
Maj. Loboda supplied many Of
the choral arrangements. The
band music and some Of the
chorus work is being composed
and arranged by Croy.
The narrator opens part one
of "The Blue and the Gray" by
stating, This was the century

field, and a corn field became a
grave"
