WOMEN FLOCK TO AIR FIELDS FORLESSONS 25 Per Cent of Students in New Classes Are of Fair Sex. By Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Recent developments which have given public prominence to women in aviation, such as the battle now going on between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for feminine supremacy in air endurance, have had a tremendous effect in making women of all ages seek further knowledge of aeronautics, with a view to flying eventually themselves, it was revealed today by F. Dalrymple, aviation authority and president of the Coastal Airways Corporation. This is evidenced, Dalrymple said, by the fact that women comprise more than 25 per cent of the enrollment in the winter term of the Coastal Airways ground school, just opened. All those enrolled, he added, have expressed intention to take up actual flying after their ground course is completed. This air instruction will be given in the coastal fleet of dual control seaplanes, this spring and summer, from the coastal bases at Hunt's Point. Rye and Coney Island. . “However, the great necessity of a basic knowledge before going into the air can not be over-empha-sized,” Dalrymple said. “It is necessary for a pilot to get his fundamentals as it is for a doctor or an attorney. For this reason our ground is planned most carefully, and covers every subject required by the United States department of commerce. “Following this course,” Dalrymple continued, “the students will have a background of general knowledge which will enable them to take up the business of actual flying with a considerable degree of understanding. “Through the school, the matter of arranging for a flying lesson will be as simple as making an appointment with the dentist.

U. S. Is‘Old Clothes Man’ and Brings Japan Profits

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The United States is playing “old clothes man” to Japan and buys an increasing number of her castoff garments each year .according to the department of commerce. Despite the large silk production of Japan, the common people there wear both under and outer garments of cotton for their daily dress. Formerly this cast-off cotton clothing was thrown away, but in 1923 Uncle Sam learned of the Nipponese rag-bag and sent his agents for it. In that year we bought 4,432,000 pounds of discarded kimonos, undergarments, trousers, coats, and other clothing. Increasing steadily, the trade amounted to 53,230,000 pounds worth $1,622,000 during the first ten months of 1928. After removing buttons and bleaching them, these rags are sold in the United States for roofing material and wiping rags, the department of commerce explained.

planes are rual-controlled, to insure absolute safety and facilitate instruction of beginners in actual flying. After the students have advanced far enough, they will be put through solo tests, and prepared to receive their licenses. “All the flying wi'l be done in seaplanes, which control as easily as an automobile, and which always will be over a suitable landing spot, which is not the case with land planes.” In speaking of the large percentage of women enrolled in the school, Dalrymple said that the instructors found that women in general grasped the principles of flying easily and learned quickly, especially as most of them already knew how to drive an automobile.

POLICE STATION RECEIVES RADIO CALL LETTERS Headquarters Experiments With Portable Transmitter. Indianapolis police headquarters assumes anew name today, that is in radio circles. The business office of Chief of Police Claude Worley and all his men for a few weeks will be known as W9JP to the government radio officials and the many amateurs who will hear the police radio experiments as they listen in on their short wave radio receivers. The call letters being used for the police experiments in radio communication between headquarters and the squad cars roaming the city are the property of the Indianapolis Radio Club and were issued by the government for a portable radio transmitting station. Robert Annis, president of the club, has loaned his private transmitting set to the police for the experiments and is working with John T. Hawkins, Indianapolis Times reporter, directing the work, to find the most efficient radio system that can be used by the police department. Annis, who is co-operating with Hawkins in these experiments, has been locally prominent in amateur radio for several years. With the transmitter he is loaning for the work he has talked te fellow amateurs in every state in the union and many cities and towns in Canada. His signals have been heard in many foreign countries as is attested by the cards received from amateurs iff foreign lands. He was secretary of the Indianapolis radio club for five years and was recently eleoted president.
