BULLETI SPIRS GUDING N . §. Called Stepping Stone to Training in Engine- Driven Airplanes. Gliding not only is a great enter- tainment and a great sport, but offers = stepping stone to training in the en- gine-driven airplane, it is stated by the aeronautics branch of the Depart- ment of Commerce in a bulletin on gliders and gliding made public yester- day. The bulletin has been published, it was announced, for the purpose of encouraging the development of glid- ing in the United States, not only as a sporting and recreational activity, but as a medium for furthering interest in all phases of aeronautics. In announcing the publication of the bulletin, Clarence M. Young, Assistant Se‘cdreury of Commerce for Aeronautics, said: “The glider movement in the United States is attracting the attention of hundreds of people, many of whom are in search of information concerning the construction, operation and licensing of gliders, as well as information in- volving instruction, student permits and glider pilot licenses. Our new bulletin endeavors to furnish information on these subjects although it is not an in- struction or technical publication.” ‘The subjects covered in the bulletin include the history of gliding, the pur- pose, types of gliders, methods of in- struction and operation, safety prin- ciples to be observed and the policy of the aeronautics branch with respect to the licensing of gliders and glider pilots. Purposes Are Outlined. “The glider and the art of gliding abound in historical significance,” it i stated in the introduction to the bulle- tin. “But it was not until the early nineties that the glider took on serious proportions. At that time civilization had progressed to the point where far- sighted individuals saw the age of human flight in powered craft just be- yond the horizon.” In outlining the purpose of gliding, the department says in its bulletin: “Gliding is great entertainment and great sport. But it goes further than that. It offers a stepping stone leading to subsequent training in the engine- driven plane. Specifically, primary gliding 1s a training for advanced stages of gliding and the most difficult and yet most fascinating of all phases of this activity—soaring. “When the glider pilot graduates into soaring, he enters the field of meteorol- ogy, topography and expert airmanship. ‘To remain aloft for hours at a time ina motorless heavier-than-air aircraft calls for a working knowledge of these sub- Jects. The rewards for the efforts ex- Pended are the accomplishments.” Glider Students Cautioned. The department cautions the glider student to be wary in learning to fly. He should be thoroughly drilled in the manipulation and effects of the con- trols before making his first flight, it was stated. The bulletin describes the launching of gliders by shock cord, au- tomobile and speed boats. Towing of gliders by aircraft, it was pointed out, ic prohibited without special permission Irom the Secretary of Commerce, “Airworthy gliders under the super- vision of experienced glider pilots who are competent to give instruction,” it is stated, “serve to bring about a reali- zation of all the good points in gliding activities. Without competent super- vision and instruction, gliding may be- come exceedingly dangerous even though no doubt exists as to the glider’s condi- tion of airworthiness. “Tf gliders are to be constructed by inawviduals, clubs or other groups in- terested in gliding, a skilled aeronauti- cal designer and constructor should be obtained to supervise the work from the drawing board to the test flight. If such assistance is not available, then the gliders should be acquired from reputa- ble_and reliable sources.” Coples of the bulletin, which is known as “Aeronautics Bulletin No. 22, Gliders and Gliding,” may be obtained free upon request to the aeronautics branch, Department of Commerce. MAINTENANCE MANAGER ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON Luke Harris Takes Over Duties With “NYPWAC,” Which Will Start Line Here Soon. Luke Harris, regarded as one of the nost capable air transport maintenance authorities in the country, arrived in the National Capital during the past week from South America to take over his duties as manager of maintenance for the New York, Philadelphia, and ‘Washington Airway Corporation, which is to open air passenger service every hour on the hour between this city and New York late next month. Harris formerly was in charge of maintenance for Transcontinental Air Transport and has just resigned the same post with the New York, Rio and Buenos Aires Line to come to “N. Y., P, W. A. C” While on his way up from South America, Luke claims to have gathered some excellent material on the subject of electrim eels, and now s preparing a paper for the edification of all and sundry who care to know, to be entitled, “Electric Eels I Have Known.” TAMPICO PORT FAVORED MEXICO CITY, July 19 (#).—To fmprove the ecnomic situation at the Mexican port of Tampico by the exportation of lead there instead of through Laredo and Corpus Christi, Tex., the Mexican National Railway Lines will reduce freight rates to the r:lnt where they will be equal to, or wer than, the present rates by Corpus Christi. After a conference with railroad executives, lead exporters and Tampico port authorities, President Ortiz Rubio agreed to have the national treasury make up whatever loss the freight reductions may cause the railroads.

Thirty-three scientists are at work in | the northwest Adirondack and St. | Lawrence area studying the fish waters «f | of the region as a part of the 12-year | program during which similar studies will be made of each watershed in the | State, according to the State Conserva- tion Department. The party started in June and will continue their investiga- tions until September. | The researches include the study of | phaszs of fish life in natural conditions, | the food supply in the streams, tem- perature, general conditions of suita- bility and the flow of water, the kinds and varieties of fish found in the streams, the presence of pollution and other technical aspects related to dis- ease, vermin and parasites that tend to hamper the increasing reproduction of fish. The party consists of biologists, chem- ists, botanists, ichthyologists, a photog= | rapher and an artist. The work is for the purpose of developing a_scientific stocking policy for streams, lakes and | ponds. | "The area selected for this year's study | consists of the Grass, St. Regis, Salmon and Chateaugay systems and lesser tributaries entering the stretch of the St. Lawrence north of Ogdensburg. The specialists have their headquarters at | Canton, where ample space has been provided at the St. Lawrence Univer- sity for such of their studies as require | to be brought in from the field. Most of the workers are enlisted from educational institutions of the State and | bring to the investigation experience of one or more preceding surveys of the ia‘ion from the conservation fund.

Intelligent people, recognizing the remarkable cleansing powers of Lis- terine Tooth Paste at 25¢, buy it ine stead of dentifrices in the 50¢ class. The average saving is $3 a year. Spend it as you please. Golf balls are merely a suggestion, healthy. Buy a tube of Listerine Tooth Paste and give it a thorough short trial. Com- pare it with any paste at any price—and judge by results alone. After such tests, more than a million people have switched to Listerine Tooth Paste. We can think of no greater tribute to the product. Incidentally, Lis- terine Tooth Paste saves you about $3 per year, over denti- fricesinthe50¢ class.
