Washington.—There is romance in the task of issuing licenses to the thousands of airplane pilots, mechan- ies and students over the country. It might seem a dull, routine mat- ter, but it is not, take the word of the girls who issue them in the li- censing section of the Department of Commerce. They ‘feel the heart beats of the game.” “Handling such a large volume of work, it seems strange that we re- member so many of the pilots to whom we send lincenses,” the young wom- an who supervises the work, writes for the department’s Air Commerce bulletin. “Some of the old-timers I would recognize in the hereafter just from handling their papers and pho- tographs so many times. We know those who think kindly of us and those who take every opportunity to knock. Many Specials Issued, “Often we have stayed overtime to get out a ‘special’ to some chap who wrote a nice letter saying that a good ‘Job was awaiting receipt of his Ili- cense. “It has been lots of fun watching the young boys come in for their student permits and take the steps up through private and limited com- mercial and finally to transport li- censes. To us that is his graduation, and we often wish we could send along « little note of congratulation. “Then, sometimes we have to take a dirty old rubber stamp and mark MANY SEEK LICENSES wR. ea TTL A Lh Sa If there is any doubt of the growing airmindedness of America, all one needs do is look at the heap of letters, each containing an application for a license to pilot aircraft, on the desk of G. G. Budwig, chief inspector of the aeronautics branch of the Depart- ment of Commerce at Washington. So far this year more than 15,000 appli- cations have been received. across the folder of some fine young man, ‘deceased.’ It is like parting with an old friend. “Of course, among a gallery of such real Americans each girl has a fa- vorite. My pick of what a young avi- ator should be lived down in San An- tonio. I requested one of our field inspectors to look him up—bur alas he came back with the report that the pictures must have been taken before the war as he was now bald, fat and married. “Nice Numbers” for Women. “Feminine aviators sometimes re- ceive a little extra attention by get. ting what we call a ‘nice number. Often I hear one of the girls say: ‘Gee, my next number is 2,500—I won- der if I have a girl in this bunch.’ A girl’s photograph naturally is always serutinized, often to determine if she is as young as she says she is. Once a girl took literally our request for ‘a photograph showing head and shoulders,’ thereby throwing the en- tire aeronautics branch into hysterics. “1 could tell dozens of real human interest stories—stories alive with the spirit of flight, I could tell stories of the sadness and courage of a mother who lost her boy; the disappointment and determination of a boy who hadn't the funds to continue to fly but expected to take it up again in the spring, and the ridiculous assured- ness of the student who wanted to learn to fly by summer so he could make a transcontinental trip. “Sometimes 1 wonder if the issuing of pilots’ licenses will ever become a routine government job. I think not.” Ohio Marks Roads for Air Travelers Columbus, Ohio.—Air travelers pass ing over Ohio soon will find a state- wide network of well-marked aerial highways, which eventually will be the first link of a nation-wide network of air highways. : Through Ohio's new aeronautics law, just being put in effect, every city, village, hamlet and crossroads in Ohio is to be air-marked to guide air travelers along their way. The state will advise communities how to air- mark, the best points to locate the marks and the best material to use. Financial aid will be furnished fn some cases. USED PLANE MARKET BECOMES A PROBLEM Rapid Strides Make Craft Obsolete. Chicago.—The airplane distributor at the average airport is rapidly ap- proaching the impasse which was the ers a few years back, That is the problem of exchanging new planes for old on an equitable basis. While the aircraft industry has thus far eluded the “used car problem,” it has only been because of the lack of markets for used planes. So constant are the improvements made in airplane construction and power plants that planes having lived less than one-fifth of their average lives are already becoming obsolete. Their owners would be ready pects for new ships if there were some way of making an equitable trade on the old ones. Several enterprising dealers have been studying the problem, and here emulate his brother of the automotive field by taking the old plane as part payment on the new. He then rebuilds the old ship and either uses it himself or stores it away until some buyer comes along who is unwilling to buy a new plane. No standard yet has been estab- lished whereby the value of a used airplane can be judged. This is prob- ably due to the lack of uniformity in the construction of the various types of new ships. One pilot may like one and another another, without regard for the superiority of newer models. The point is argued by the mail pilots, many of whom still prefer the old Lib- erty motored ships to the more mod- ern planes which ave faster and more stable. They say that they are used to the older type and satisfied as to its reliability. it is just as well that there are not many used planes for sale. Too many, they say, would make them so cheap that irresponsible people would be at- tracted, only to hurt themselves and the industry as a whole. If the plane remains in the hands of the original owner, however, they say he will wear it out in perfect safety, knowing its idiosyncrasies and guarding against them. Washington University Adds Aviation Course Seattle.—With the completion of a $200,000 building, funds for which were given by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronau- tics, the University of Washington will launch a course in aviation. Courses to be taught include airplane perform- ance, aerial design, propulsion, aerial transportation, aerial navigation and airships. Advanced courses will be offered in all subjects. The Guggenheim foundation award- ed the building fund to the University of Washington because of a belief that the growth of aviation in the Northe west will require such a school, and because one of the largest airplane manufacturing plants in the United States is located there. Work already accomplished by the university also was taken into consideration. Aerial Instructors Must Really Teach Washington.—Only flyers actually engaged in teaching students to fly will be granted instructors’ licenses under the new Department of Com- merce regulations governing flying schools. Department inspectors are much too Commerce department aeronau- tical officials say, to examine and grant a license to every pilot who should apply for one. Instructors at flying schools now are operating un- der letters of authority, The examin- ing and licensing of instructors began September 1, when new flying school regulations went into effect. busy, Women Are Keener for Flying Than the Men Salt Lake City.—Women are even keener aviation fans than man, and unquestionably are more at ease than men pas- sengers on their first trip. Authority for this is Harry Huking, president of'the Pilots’ Association of America, and a veteran pilot with 6,000 flying hours to his credit. Huking is at the controls of trimotored transports and for : months has been flying men and women in his big plane over the Sierra Nevada mountains be- , tween Oakland and Salt Lake City, a 640-mile night trip. “Most passengers have a de- sire to get up front and look around,” said Huking. “The courtesy of permitting passen- gers to go forward and stand in the entrance of the pilot’s compartment, with {its many controls, has been extended to many passengers. Almost in- ®. variably men passengers will s ask a few questions, look around a bit, and return to the passengers’ cabin. However, with women passengers it is different. Often it is necessary to suggest they return to the cabin when they are still in- quiring about features of the plane’s construction and oper- ation.” PENCE SESS C ROOST IESSe CORK OK KK IK) * and there one has had the courage to | In the opinion of many older pilots | | grim.

He was passing as usual when suddenly he turned back and came to the steps where Olga was sitting to warm herself. The house was cold within. “You've got a nice place here, Miss Hurd,” he said. “But it's kinda off by And you live all alone. Don't you ever get lonesome?” Tears filled Olga’s eyes. She swal- lowed hard, struggled for calm speech. “You're the first person that’s ever asked me if I was lonesome,” she said at last, “Everybody seems to take it for granted that I live here this way because I want to.” The postman shifted his leather mail-pouch with its bulging contents. “l don't know what made me ask you that,” he said apologetically. But the truth was the sight of the woman sitting there in the sunshine, tiny and old and pathetic, on a morning made for youth, love and joy, touched his heart. He had just got engaged to a nice girl and he wanted everybody to be as happy as he was. “And I don’t know what makes me want to tell you something I have never breathed to a living soul in this town, though I have lived here many years,” Olga replied. “I've got folks. Not here; a long ways off. Once I— X nennumadnn I did something that set them all against me. And now 1 wouldn't make up with one of them to save his life.” Her wistful look became “I'd let 'em all go hang,” the post- man said. Then he moved away, re solving to bring his old friend a box of candy on his next trip round that afternoon. But before another hour | had passed Olga had a visitor. A blue coupe drove right up to the door. Out stepped a girl who brought a pair of suitcases with her. She marched up to Olga, who was sweep- ing the front porch. “Hello, Aunt Olga!” she said. “I'm your niece, Helen, your youngest brother Gordon’s girl. Now, don’t send me away without giving me a trial. Maybe you'll like me when you get to know me.” Olga, white and stern, faced the vivid, dark girl who looked so fresh and pretty in her tan sports costume. She did not speak. “Aunt Olga,” Helen said, to you for sanctuary.” “Sanctuary!” gasped Olga. And then she understood. She held out her arms. The girl met her in a warm embrace. “You've got to be good to me, Aunt Olga,” she said. “Good to you!” Olga sobbed. my dear! You'll see.” They shared the lunch that was barely big enough for one. Not that food mattered. Olga was too happy to eat. She could only gaze at her radiant young niece. Her own flesh and blood companioning her in her house after all the years of loneliness! Next day Helen confided to her aunt “I've come “Oh, | that she was going to be married. “Will you let me be married here? | I've enough money for all my things.” So the child was going to be mar- ried! Further confidences followed. Olga asked no questions; she let Hel- en tell what she would. Helen seemed to be quietly matter of fact. For the next fortnight the blue coupe dashed back and forth betwixt hamlet and city. Olga had entered upon a great and delightful adventure. She twas helping Helen choose her wedding trousseau. The house must be fixed up for the wedding, too—new paper, paint, draperies. Olga drew from her small savings and let Helen spend the money. The girl had rare good sense and not a penny got away from her honest and earnest grasp Too, she could hang wall paper and wield a paint brush in a way that made Mr. Seeley, the local house deco- rator, stare in amazement. “My business,” Helen ing, and again Olga explained. got a sur- la prise. “Interior decorating—that’s my job. 1 gave four years to it at col- lege. Confess, Aunt Olga, that you like your house a lot better. To me it looks as if it had taken its apron off and changed its dress. It's a house to be happy in now—and gay and just a bit foolish, maybe. The house was ready now for the wedding. Helen's colorful gowns looked in keeping, strewn about the rooms. Even Olga had a new frock, a misty gray thing. And Helen had, almost forcibly, borne her into a beauty shop in town and had her silk- en silvery hair given a permanent. Olga had just loved the operation; she had felt rich and luxurious and almost young as she sat in an atmosphere of faint perfume and gentle ministration, waiting for her hair to be done. Helen's wedding day seemed to be attended by a good deal of mystery, but still Olga asked no questions. She was letting herself be borne along on a tide of expectancy and joy. Dick came the day before. He was big and young and splendid. When he kissed Olza and called her aunt she had a delicious thrill, From the moment of his arrival there was a whirl of glee. Dick and Helen brought in armfuls of flowers. Olga grew a bit reckless and made a sponge cake with six eggs. On the day of days Helen made tl 1 mene. Olga dress before she put on her own wedding gown of filmy white. She even touched Olga's cheeks with rouge from her own vanity case, “Oh, you darling!” the girl breathed, her eyes lustrous. “To think of all you might have had”’—the lustrous eyes dimmed with tears, Helen looked lovely in her filmy frock. Dick was grand, At the last moment it seemed a great closed car drove up to the house. Out of it stepped an elderly couple, an old couple, a single woman, a sin- gle man, a glowing young girl. “Who are these,” gasped Olga, and her cheeks paled under the dainty rouge. Helen put an arm about the trem- bling figure. “My father and mother,” she said, “Uncle Pat and Aunt Elsie, Cousin Adelade, Cousin George and Cousin George's daughter, Jean. All the best of the clan are here, Aunt Olga, not so much to come to my wedding as to do you honor. Keep calm. Carry it off—for my sake. Remember you are altogether lovely, that Dick and I love you, that I chose your home for the most glorious event of my whole life. Now behave like a dear little hostess and welcome your relatives.” And Olga rose to the occasion. Her dignity and her grace and her hospi- tality lent charm to the whole occa- sion. After the ceremony a caterer brought in the wedding luncheon at which Aunt Olga was almost as much admired as the bride herself. The following afternoon a happy young couple sat in a boat that drifted gently on a sun-lit lake, “It took lots of head work to pull off that stunt,” Helen said. “Dad and mom were dead against it at first and Cousin Adelaide turned up her aristo- cratic nose. But I was a determined woman. You remember that day we found Aunt Olga’s picture in that old album? That's when I got the idea of going to her house and being married there. Of course, I had to win her over by degrees; it wasn't easy. Her pride had suffered too keenly. If only they had been kinder she would not have run away and wasted her life in solitude and loneliness—oh, Dick, dar- ling! Did you see her face when she held my orange blossoms in her hands?” Helen's voice broke. Dick bowed his head. “And noth- ing ever looked purer than did she at that moment—not even you, my flaw- less pearl of girls,” he said tenderly. Italian Long Ago Had Idea of “Flying Boat” Francesco de Laha gave both the believers in flying fad the skeptic of his day something) serious to think about in his design for a flying boat published in 1470. fHe stirred up a veritable tempest i did ndt sub- side for more th:zf a hundred years. when the principle he sponsored was made practical in tie invention of the Montgolfier brothers, As late as 1753, Clement Cavalcabo, Baroni delli Mar- chesi, refuted Lana's supposition with these conclusions: “The atmosphere has always been unknown to man, and will continue to be a region unknown to him, No one, not even the Demon himself, has the power to teach man any method by which he may explore that region, either by increasing his motive power or by diminishing very considerably his specific gravity.” Fif. teen years later, Bernardo Zamagna, one of the perennial defenders of Lana, brought ou! his description of an imaginary journey in a flying ma- chine similar in construction to Lana's flying boat. Lana's much discussed design proposed the use of four hol- low spheres of thin copper, each 20 feet in diameter and so thin that they would weigh less than an equal bulk of atmosphere when they were ex- hausted of air. To these globes a boat was to be fastened in which the pilot and his appendages were to be stationed for the pose of directing the machine. Lana was thus the first to establish a theory verified by math- ematical accuracy and clearness of perception of the real nature and pres- sure of the atmosphere, the same the ory which is at the basis of balloon flying of the present day. A public ascens of a flying boat invented by Bartholomeau Lourenco de Gusmao, a Spaniard, is claimed for 1709, but it was Lana’s investigations which were the most far reaching in influence. Many of his deductions were drawn from the work of his predecessors and from a study of me. chanical toys, the flying mechanical pigeon of Archytas netic dove of Kircher, and iron auto- matic fly and eagle which were invent- ed at Nuremberg. A curious, parallel to this is found in the automatic toy of the Wright brothers, the study of which led them to « in conclusions concerning the nature of air, later ap plied in the construction of the first successful airplane in 1903.—Boston Herald. the flying mag — Tiny Tot Churches There are several irches in Great Britain which have doll house dimen sions.
