The first of the big trans-Pacific clipper flying boats, after weeks of highly successful trials the Pacific Coast in charge of inaugural flight. passenger and airmail service on route, awaiting transfer to the Pacific. A third is nearing com- pletion in the Sikorsky plant at Tollow. One of the last great barriers in the way of regular ocean operations between California and the Orient was attacked in the Senate, when, during the past week, Senator McAdoo of- fered an amendment to the Treasury- Post Office appropriation bill, which | ‘was adopted, providing $2,000,000 with which to finance the carrying of mail | across the Pacific by air. The amend- ment must be approved by the House in conferences which will be in prog- Tess this week. The Postmaster General now has authority to call for bids for the trans- Pacific airmail service and lacks only the funds for such a service. “We have the opportunity now,” Senator McAdoo explained, “to enter upon the greatest air conquest that 1s open in the world; that is, to estab- lish an airline between the Pacific Coast and the great empire of China, going by way of Honolulu, Guam and Manila to Canton, China. “The purpose of the amendment is to give the Postmaster General the available means to carry out any con- tract he may see fit to make with a | company which is willing to under- take to transport the mails across the Pacific upon such terms and con- ditions as may be fixed in the call for bids for that purpose.” New Planes Discussed. Development of aircraft of types suitable for use by the private flyer, one of the major aims of the present Bureau of Air Commerce, will be the subject of two lectures at the April meeting of the Washington section of the Society of Automotive Engineers at 8 pm. tomorrow in the University | Club, Fifteenth and I streets. Agnew E. Larsen, vice president and chief engineer of the Autogiro Co. of America, will describe the new auto- giro his company is producing for the Bureau of Air Commerce. The craft is to be equipped for driving on the road between the home of the owner and the airport or field from which it is to be flown. The rotor folds so the ship may be stored as easily as an automobile. Mr. Larsen’s talk will be illustrated. i Walter T. Brownell, aeronautics development engineer, Bureau of Air Commerce, will describe the new air- craft being developed for the bureau, chief among them the new Hammond plane, winner in the competition con- ducted by the bureau. He also will tell of a new plane designed around a standard automobile engine power plant. Mr. Brownell will use models to illustrate his talk. Autogire Plans Explained. Announcement of the awarding of the contract for the new autogiro was | made by the Bureau of Air Commerce only a day or two ago, after the sub- ject of Mr. Larsen’s lecture had been made public, The new craft, the bureau an- nounced, is to be a two-place cabin type possessing several new features intended to appeal to prospective pri- vate owners. One of the principal new features is the provision for road travel, it was explained by Federal officials. “One of the principal features of the rotor plane type,” it was explained by John H. Geisse, chief of the aero- nautics development section of the bureau, “has always been its ability to land and take off from small areas. Fields more accessible than the air- ports but not suitable for the opera- tion of most airplanes can, in many cases, be used satisfactorily by the rotor plane; but the lack of trans- portation and airplane housing fa- cilities at such flelds is, of course, still more pronounced than at the estab- lished airports.” To overcome this obstacle the new autogiro is designed for operation on the highways. This is to be accom- plished by providing folding rotor wings, which may be secured back over the fuselage, and a clutch be- tween the engine and the propeller so that the propeller may be discon- nected from the engine. A power drive is arranged from engine to wheels so that the rotor plane be- comes practically an automobile for ground operation. “It should therefore” Geisse ex- plained, “be quite possible to house this rotor plane at home and drive it to the nearest suitable field for take off, or land on a fleld near one’s point of destination and then proceed thereto over the highway.” The engine is to be placed in back of the pilot and passenger to afford the greatest possible visibility, quiet- ness and comfort, it was explained. The rotor will be of the direct-control type, obviating the need for fixed ‘wings. . The pilot and passenger will sit side by side and the space available will be equal to that provided in the average coupe. An 85-horsepower engine will be used. “In addition to the uhusual features already mentioned,” Geisse said, “the design will take into consideration the addition, possibly before the comple- tion of the contract, of the newly de- veloped ‘jump-off’ facilities. This de- velopment is expected to make possi- ble vertical ascent up to some pre- determined height, such as possibly 25 feet, and will therefore still further Teduce the requirements of a fleld suitable for take off, as obstructions around the field such as trees or buildings could be readily sur- e autogro 15 to be delivered 10 the Bureau of Air Commerce late in jummer. ‘hecfrnwn Norton of the Home Own- ers’ Loan Corporation, who hoids a private pilot’s license, has just taken delivery of a new Kreider-Reisner-22 atrplane and is going through an ad- vanced flying course at the hands of Bille Payne and Charley Macatee, in charge of flight traini”g at Washing- A second of these flying boats now is in regular An even larger flying boat is undergoing flight tests and modifications at the Glenn L.

Massachusetts was the first State to be completely air-mapped, but this | work, completed in 1933, was per- formed under the auspices of the In- stitute of Geographical Exploration of Harvard University and is not available to the general public. The survey of Connecticut was com- pleted in less than two months, in- volving only 153 hours of actual fly- |ing time. Photographic flying was possible on only 15 days and during | these few days 10,479 exposures were | made. Four pilots and four photog- | raphers did the aerial work. Maps in Two Scales. The finished maps were made avail- able in two scales, one of 1 inch to 6,000 feet and the other of 1 inch to 2,000 feet. From these master prints copies may be made at any | time at scales ranging from 1 inch to | 18,000 feet up to 1 inch to 600 feet. From the original negatives enlarge- | ments of up to 1 inch to 100 feet may be obtained. | The State highway department has & complete set of prints at a scale of 1 inch to 600 feet for use in its entire program of road work. The photographs, carefully indexed, are on file for use by individuals, State departments and officials of local governments. They will be used for everything from tax studies to such activities as mosquito control, con- servation of natural resources, pro- Jjection of State highways and gen- eral engineering work. It is estimated the survey by any other means would have required at least 10 years and would have shown but a fraction of the detail registered by photography. The work was done by contract with Fairchild Aerial | Surveys. Travel time between Washington and Nome, Alaska, will be reduced from 34 to 4'; days beginning Tues- day, according o new schedules an- nounced by United Air Lines and Pa- cific Airways, the latter a subsidiary | of Pan American Airways. | | _ The new 198-hour service for the | 7,000-mile trip between Washington | and the farthest North city under the United States flag is a combination airplane-steamship-airplane service. From Washington the traveler flies to Cleveland on Pennsylvania Airlines, connecting there with United Airlines for the flight to Seattle. At Seattle he boards a steamer which takes him to Juneau, capital of Alaska. A new 700-mile airway is being es- tablished between Juneau and Fair- banks, following the Klondike Trail to White Horse, Yukon, and then into Central Alaska. Two air routes are operated from Juneau to important mining centers, and service is pro- vided to Nome. Mies Rybier Honored.

TIBBETT, who will sing the leading baritone role of Amon- | asro in the Metropolitan Opera Co.'s Baltimore performance of Verdi’s “Aida” at the Lyric on the night of April 9, needs no introduction any- where., His triumphs at the Metro- politan plus his success on the screen and in radio have made his name a household word. Born at Bakersfield, Calif., he was still & small child when the tragic but heroic death of his father left his mother a young widow with four smail children to care for. They moved to Los Angeles where Lawrence attended the High School of Manual Arts. However, the stage was his ambition. His first engagement was with a Shakesperian repertory company. He soon branched out into the operatic fleld, however, and in this connection it is of interest to note that one of his first important operatic appear- ances was in the role of Amonasro in “Aida” that Baltimore and Wash- ington opera-goers will hear him sing at the Lyric. Tibbett came East with the determination of becoming a con- cert singer but he had been in New York but six months when he was signed by the Metropolitan. It was in the role of Ford in Verdi's “Fal- staff” that he made his first sensa- tional success with the Metropolitan during midseason of his second year with that organization. | Lawrence Tibbett will share stellar | honors for the Metropolitan's Balti- | more Lyric engagement with such out- standing operatic figures as Elizabeth Rethberg, Martinelli, Rose Bampton and Ezio Pinza.

OSITA reached out her right R hand, shouting. Every sound of her voice struck through the heart of the Kid like a mighty chord sung by a thousand sweet " olces. “The black horse for you, Pas- cual!” he called over his shoulder. “Steady, all, I throw on the brake!” It screeched, the wooden blocks grinding on the iron tires as the Kid chécked the rush of the horses with all his might. And then down into the tangle. He caught the knife from the hand of the girl and slashed. The leather traces were shorn, the long reins gashed in two, and in a moment Mateo Rubriz, on the bare back of the white wheeler, was gal- loping straight ahead down the road. For he knew that the girl's mus- tang, the red mare, and the black horse were all fresh, but the white was tired, very tired, already and with no feather's weight on its back. They raced their horses for dis- tance. And then they were running for time, with a sun that sloped with a maddening slowness toward the west- ern horizon. For the pursuit could not gain and the weary white horse held back the four fugitives. More than once bullets sang in the air, but the distance was entirely too great; only a random shot could strike them. At last the Kid brought Sally close beside the white. He took the hand of Rubriz and lifted 20 pounds, 30 pounds, 40 pounds of the bulk of the big rider, transfering it thus to the strong back and the tireless, iron legs of red Sally. There was no faltering in her, and it was her strength that carried them into the red of the sunset, and sud- | denly into the quick twilight that | securely covered them from further pursuit at that moment. All pursuit was not ended, of course, unless those savage riders from the Valley of the Dead gave a little more thought to their memory of Juan- Silva, smiling open-eyed at the sun. But the truth was that they had neither sight nor sound of an enemy all the way to Duraya. But the taste of life was so exceed- ingly sweet to them all, after the Val- ley of the Dead, that the precious trinket inside the bit of chamois was never unwrapped once during the entire journey. Perhaps there never was a happier journey, in spite of the sand-filled winds that whipped and choked them, and the foul water, and the starvation rations most of the way. and the rea- | son for that happiness was that here were four who had been through fire | together, so that they knew the temper of one another. ness in this world? They had come into the green of living mountains—Iliving with grass and with trees and with water after the naked desert they had crossed. The Kid himself, as the evening | closed in, had brought down with two shots from one of Estrada’s revolvers a deer that leaped out before them from a thicket. Rosita stood leaning against a tree, just then, tapping with her slender fingers against the rough of the bark. “Tell me, Mateo,” she said, “if you have forgiven this gringo? Have you forgiven him, and forgotten?” “I?" exclaimed Rubriz—but even he guarded his voice 50 that it might Rot enter the sleep and disturb the dreams of Pascual. “If I forgive him, may San Juan of Capistrano never forgive me or be aiding me again! What? A man-stealer who caught away Tonio from me? Forgive him? Tl see him damned before I forgive him.” He half raised himself and glared at Montana, who lay flat on his back And what is happi- now, with his hands cupped at the back of his head. ‘Ay, Mateo,” said the Kid, dreamily. “I've always known it. Some day I'll have my thumbs in the soft of your throat and break your windpipe be- tween them.” Rubriz made a sound as though he were drawing water, not air, through his set teeth. “But when you are dead” Rubriz, “San Juan strike me shall not be a little sad.” “Well,” said Montanas, in his gentle voice, “when I've buried you, I'll get a thick-headed bulldog and call him Rubriz, and that will take your place well enough.” “Ah-h-h!” murmured Rubriz, com- ing softly, catlike, to his knees and one hand. “Be still, Mateo!” commanded the girl. “You would help him, manded Rubriz. how many of your countrymen he has butchered like sheep.” She went to Montana and leaned over him, “What am I to you, devil of a gringo?” she asked. “Sit down here and I'll tell you,” said Montana. She sat down at once, and he moved until his head rested in her said it I eh?” de- , “I'll tell you how much I love you, but now I wish to sleep. Sing to me, Rosita.” “Ah,” said the girl, “tell me if I hate you or love you most!” “Sing to me.” insisted Montana, “and you'll find the answer in the songs.” She laughed a little, and then she began to sing in a voice smaller than speech. Rubriz strained his ears to catch the sounds. He could see the dimness of her hands smoothing the brow of the Kid. When they came into Duraya, in the middle of the night, they climbed, all four, to the room of the bishop. He rose from prayer to greet them. He was very tired, very weary. But when he saw them a strength flowed suddenly back through him. “My children,” he said, “are you the ones who went to the Valley of the Dead and undid the work of the devil there? Was it you who turned the slaves loose?” “Loose?” exclaimed Rubriz. *“Do | you mean to say that the slaves broke loose?” “We only have rumors and whis- “And yet God knows | D—7 pers,” said the bishop. “I know nothe ing for certain except that the sol- diers are rushing toward the Valley of the Dead and extending long cor- dons to sweep up the escaped men. “And inside the valley, Juan-Silva | and the general himself were found dead and terribly mangled, and that Alvarez and another man were killed, also, together with a great | many of the guards. “It is & dreadful thing—and it hap- pened, I hear, while most of the guards | were rushing away to try to reeap- ture daring prisoners who were es- caping in the carriage of Juan-Silva | himself! Ah, El Keed! Do I see you | holding the reins? But I have been kneeling here in prayer for Juan- | Slva!” “All the saints praying would never be any good to the soul ot Juan- | 8ilva,” said Rubriz | _ “Perhaps not,” said the bishop, “but I like ha.d tasks. What is this, brother?” For Pascual, patiently, was holding up the broken half of the emerald crown in one hand. and the lost jewel of Alvarez lay in the other palm. The bishop took up the treasure as though it were truly composed of green fire. He raised it in his joined hands high | above his head. { One could forget, then, his meager | nightgown, his bare feet with the wind | blowing on his shanks. Perhaps it was unclerical for a bishop to be seen in this informal garb by a woman, but | since he had one arm, at that time, | about the shoulders of Rosita, the | bishop did not seem to be troubled. | “Well,” said Rubriz, “the devil had no commission for this job, except that most of the work was done by a gringo.” “Hush!” said the bishop. “Who | can speak of the devil where there | has been the manifest hand of God?" He went on talking to Rubriz, for a time, and to big Pascual, who was | smiling like a child, his two great hands clasped together. | " And at last Bishop Emiliano said: “But I have not said a word of thanks to my son Montana. Where has he ! gone? And where is Rosita?” “El Keed,” said Rubriz, “why should he care about thanks when he has | Rosita?” And all three of them, on a sudden impulse, leaned out of the window and looked down. There in the thick | gloom of the street they could see a man and a woman walking slowly, | their heads bowed close together, | “Hai!” said Rubriz. “Can't he find | women in his own country? Does the | gringo dog come down here to steal our girls away from us?” “And our hearts, brother,” | Pascual. | Ay.” grunted Rubriz, “these gringos they stop at nothing—they will have all” said THE END.
