i , —Aviation — OFFER $150,000 1 PRIZES TO HELP ISAFERAVIATION jGuggenheim Fund-Sponsors Contest to Boom Sky Travel. ] BY THOMAS CARROLL, No element of the airplane has <been so emphasized as has its lack dos safety. And still airplanes of toSday are comparatively safe and the Ynost sought objects of development fend research at this time are for (the improvement of safety. To emphasize this condition and *to encourage more rapid development the Daniel Guggenheim Fund lor the Promotion of Aeronautics lias instituted a Safe Airplane Competition, for which prizes aggregating $150,000 have been offered. This competition invites designers and manufacturers from any part of the jworld to submit their airplanes. In order to provide conclusive tests for these competitors some of the best minds in aviation have assisted the fund in drawing up a set Os test conditions and performances tvfaich will demonstrate that the airplane under test is, to a high (degree, safe. Seek Low Safety Safety in an airplane is an elusive term. It is obviously unjust to expect of any means of transportation which assumes such high speeds, safety or security comparable to other means of transportation, which are slowe. and operate upon the ground. On the ground the safety of a vehicle is less as its speed increases, while in the air the greater the speed, within ordinary limits, the greater the safety. It is in low speeds that danger lurks. We therefore find in the tests provided by the competition that low speed performance is emphasized. The airplane must fly at speeds of thirty to thirty-five miles per hour and maintain stability and ability to be steered. It must land and come to rest in a short space; it must take off after rolling a short distance and immediately climb fast enough to clear trees or obstructions which may be within a shorter distance than now is permissible. Preliminary tests of this program have indicated that airplanes now exist which meet some of the required factors, indeed, that all of the factors are met individually by some planes. The contest has been open since last October and will remain open until October 1, 1929, at which time the grand prize of SIOO,OOO will be awarded unless some competitor has made a perfect score and thereby won prior to that date. Five individual prizes of SIO,OOO each are offered to the first five entrants who meet the qualifying conditions, which consist in a demonstration of their ability to meet the grand prize requirements to a limited degree. Most Entries British No entrant as yet has stated an exact date for his demonstration although several have oefinitely entered. Os these entrants an airplane of the “slotted wing” variety by Handley Page and the Auto-Giro of La Cierva, both of whom, despite the Spanish ancestry of the latter, are British, should prove most interesting. Others include, Vickers Ltd., the Glostershire Aircraft Company, and Handley Page, the father of the famous and sometimes infamous, DH 4, all of whom are likewise British. American entrants include designs by Major Schroeder, famous test pilot of the war-time United States Air Service, and one by Charles Ward Hill in conjunction with the Aluminum Company of America. While at this time British entrants predominate, it is certain that many will enter from other European countries and that American designers will be attracted.

Pilots and passengers will be entertained at a luncheon as guests of the Prest-O-Lite Company before departure for St. Louis in mid-afternoon. Among participants in the tour will be Eddie Stinson and George Haldeman, coholders of the world’s endurance record. They will pilot two Stinson-Detroiters. Brock and Schlee, who attempted a round-the-world flight last year, will fly a Bellanca monoplane. Three trimotored Ford transport planes also have been entered.

—Aviation— LONDON PLANES CARRY BULLION CROSSJJHANNEL Millions in Gold and Other Freight Transported to Continent. Bn United Press LONDON, June 19.—Gold coin and bullion worth $130,000,000 has passed through Croydon Aerodrome in the past three years on its way to or from the continent. Several special freight services have been instituted between London and Paris, Berlin, and other continental cities. The consignments include, besides gold and silk goods, animals of all descriptions. Pedigreed dogs, day-old chicks, a full-grown lion, a horse, and even pigs have been taken across the channel by plane. One air liner arrived at Croydon recently with fifty parrots, a monkey, a small bear, and a number of tropical fish in a specially arranged water tank. Daily supplies of special bread and specially treated milk have ben flown to invalids abroad. Every morning at 6 o'clock a giant air-freighter leaves Croydon for Paris with goods collected during the night for delivery the next forenoon. The latest Paris fashions are rushed to London by air almost daily; in fact, the largest single item in air freight service is silk materials in the form of dresses and millinery. Honor Bremen Crew BREMEN, Germany, June ,19. Ceremonies in honor of Hermann Koehl, Baron Von Huenfeld and Maj. James Fitzmaurice, who fllew the airplane Bremen westward across the Atlantic, continued all day. The aviators plan to fly to Berlin Wednesday.
