Perfect Flight Cited. As far as can be learned to date, fiyers to enter the new event must en- ter ships which will make a perfect take-off, make a flight and soar down for a good landing. Just what type of ship or whether any kind of ship may be entered will be decided upon at the meeting Thursday night. The flying school officials feel that #ince it is the ambition of every model pilot to some day soar in the clouds in & larger craft, they should begin im- mediately to build ships that will fly similarly and resemble, to some extent, the larger craft. | Cup to Be Given. And the best part of it all is, model aircraft readers, a large silver trophy that looks more like a memorial to some triot than & prize will be given to the Boy who collects the most points during the contest. Just whether the winner will back up & truck and carry away the uvpny or whether he will have the honor of see! his name inscribed on it and be given miniature of the prize, is a question that must be decided at the next meeting. So you see, fellows—and,lest we forget, Iassies—the! a great many things to be decided at that Thursday meeting. Everybody s going to be there. Come up and help decide some of the prob- lems. Mr. Edmonds, who has donated Tmore silver cups than there are shaving | mugs on earth (that's safe), has donat the beautiful cup for grand prize in the contest. Begin Continental Race. A continental air race, which will take place on a map up at the D. C. Air Legion School, is under way. The pilots have been divided into teams and the. aggregation collecting the most points will win the race, Points will be given for workmanship on planes and general deportment about the scnool. For every point obtained a plane will Over 200 entries in the New York air show model airplane contest have been received, it was announced today. Finals in the vaiious contests, which will be started within two weeks, will be held at Madison Square Garden during May 3 to 10, the week of the air show. Among the many entries in the scale model contest is one from a boy in On- tario, Canada. The scale models will be iged by a committee headed by C. ‘Casey” Jones, president of the Cur- ht Flying Service, and will be displayed at the air ahow. Co-operating with the American Sky Cadets in staging the contest are the be | Associated Aviation Clubs, Avio, Graphic Junior Aviation Club, Junior Aviation League of New York, Legion Air Ca- dets and the New York Boys' Clul The flying events will consist of con- tests for “stick” and ‘“‘commercial” models. ‘The great increase in interest and in the number of model aircraft fiyers taking part in the city meets has led to thu study of new methods of han- dling the contests, in order that they may run smoothly, every fiyer. being iven a fair chance to see what he can lo with his plane and every type of plane tested under the most favorable conditions. ‘The rules here given will be tried oWt on Saturday at Bolling Field, with the co-operation and advice of the per- sonnel at the field. Other plans are un- sideration. Each flyer who has| der col llreldy registered for the 1930 tourna- ment has been assigned a number. To- day there are 65 entrants, and there is no knowing how many will register on Saturday. Running an aircraft meet is even more difficult than most types of con- tests, because each type of plane re- quires special mndmonu for ll\lnchlnf, and changing in wind may alter cond tions in the midst of & meet. Also each of these fiyers must learn not only the technique of launching his plane, hut it must be remembered that each flyer | has bullt his own plane, with often many hours of careful and delicate work.

Flyers will be divided into small groups, perhaps five in number, and each group will be headed by an ace. 4. A definite section of the field will be assigned to each group, and the ace will thus be captain of & section of the move & mile toward its goal. Johri Arthur Shaw, who has charge of the junior activities of the Air Legion, announces that Saturday afternoon ali junior members of the Legion will be given hops in the Legion's plane at Hybla Valley, being transported to that field by automobile. This, according to Shaw, is in pursuance of the Legion's policy to give the junior members a taste of all phases of aviation in order that when it comes time for them to choose their careers they will be able to aecide with certainty whether aviation is the one they wish to choose.

The Leglon also desires to clear up tw, points which do not seem to be clear in the minds of all local model enthusiasts. The first is that boys and girls do not have to be members of the Junior section of the Legion in order to attend Pendleton’s class in model- building and the other that boys who are already qualified as model-builders do not have to attend this class upen FRENCH AVIATOR TOBRAVEATLANTIC Capt.

In explaining the purpose of the competition, Mr. Loening said: “Tbe best time to train students for aviation is at the age when they attend college. I feel that anything that can be done during this period to increase the num- ber of pllots among college men not only will help in the development of civil aviation in the United States, but also will give a background for flying officers for possible military expansior In judging entrants the principal fac- tor in the award was the actual time on motor-driven planes acquired by stu- dent members. Judges, comprising mem- ers of the contest committee of the tional Aercpautic Association, also gave some consideration to gliding activities, safety records, writing of papers and ground school work. Coliege Activity Increasing. The National Aeronautic Association reports that there has been great activi- ty among college students as a result of the Loening competition, ‘The award of the first prize to the Harvard Flying Club goes to the oldest college flying organization in this cou try and the only one to own its own air- lane outright.

Upon the declaration of war he entered the Army Air Service, learn- ed to fly, and then was assigned to duty during the remainder of the war as ground and flight instructor.

While engaged in this he found that the aeronautics branch of the DGDIH.-V ment of Commerce was working out standard curricula for ground school courses for private, limited commercial and transport pilots.

They are the Curtiss Hawk and Ourtiss Falcon, standard Army and Navy pursuit and observation plan nd the Curtiss Fledgling train- ing plane and the Curtiss Robin, cabin monoplane. The planes, extra engines and spare parts, were shipped to Athens late in March. The trio will be met in Athens bv Maj. Melville Hall, W. F. Goulding two mechanics, who will cnmpl!u (h! party. Maj.
