departures in design from the conventional. The race sponaors have worked out an Idea to do away with the deadly dullness of most air races They are going to give the planes a "race horse start." In the past, planes have taken off one at a time, and raced more against time than against eeh other, and this isn’t very thrilling to watch. But at Cleveland they will all start at once, and ail races will be real race:, with the leader actually leading as in auto races. Furthermore, great safety precautions are to be taken. In all races pilots will be strongly advised to wear parachutes, and in the nentop race from the Pacific to Cleve:and wearing of parachutes will be compulsory. Also, the rules state that “reckless or smart aleck flying” will not be permitted and any pilot doing such wiil be disqualified.

Bromley to Hop Soon TACOMA, Wash., July 24.—Mechanics hoped today to have Harold Bromley’s Tacoma-Tokio Lockheed monoplane ready for the final trial flights before evening. Final inspection of the Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine of 425-horse power was made during the night. It was disassembled and L. W. Paxson, factory expert, examined it before it was put together again, to make sure no flaw is present which will prevent Bromley from making his goal, the Rozawa military aerodrome, twenty-one miles from Tokio, after he takes off Friday or Saturday. The city is in a state of tense excitement and thousands of spectators visit the field daily to gaze at the latest model Lockheed machine, The Explorer, which differs in design from the long line of recordbreaking Vega and Air Express models which have come from the Burbank (Cn 1 1 o’ant, in that it is a low wing machine.

Aviation VETERAN MAIL AIRMAN FLIES MILLJONMILES Aviator Celebrates With Radio Speech Over Coast to Coast Hookup. By Vnitril I‘n ss CHICAGO, July 24—E. Hamilton Lee, senior pilot of the United States air mail, last night celebrated completion of 1,000,000 miles in the air with a radio speech paying tribute to his pioneer comrades and lamenting that the “good old days of thrilling experiences in the air" have passed. “It must make an old cowman mad to see a fellow in shiny boots and polo pants riding a slick horse,” Lee said. “Well, it hurts, in a way, to see these pilots climbing up into heated cabins or cockpits and talking to somebody on the ground over the radiophone.” Lee marked his million miles of flight with a talk over a coast-to-coast radio hookup aS a part of the “Roads of the Sky” aviation series, sponsored jointly by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of Amer-

ica and the National Broadcasting Company. “The forty-niners and the cowboys had their day. and It looks like we air veterans have about had ours,” Lee said in his talk. "I won’t quit flying. I like it and lam happy to celebrate the flying of my millionth mile without a serious accident. But I do feel that all these improvements and safety measures have taken most of the adventure cut of the air mail business. “Flying is being made safe for everybody, which thrills. Some don’t want any thrills at all. They want to go places in a hurry. I am glad that the new flying era is here and that the air mail has led the way.” Lee flew the first experimental air mail routes established by the government, and when the transcontinental service was established, became a pilot on the ChicagoOmaha link. He now flies a section of the transcontinental route flown by Boeing Air Transport westward from Chicago.

STATE FIREMEN TRAINING HERE IS CONSIDERED Fire Chiefs May Send Men to Serve With Flame Fighters. Indianapolis will be made a training school for firemen from throughout the state if the recommendation of William Briggs, Shelbyville (Ind.) fire chief and president of the State Fire Chiefs’ Association, is approved by fire department heads at their annual convention Aug. 15 and 16 at Michigan City. Briggs outlined his plans for a two-weeks training period for all firemen of the state while in InriianapolL* Tuesday for the dedication of the new Are tower at New Jersey and South streets. Under Briggs’ plan, each of the 117 fire departments in the state would send one man to Indianapolis for a two-weeks period. The men would be distributed among the thirty-three stations in the city to serve as regular city firemen. At the end of the training they would be eraded on efficiency. “The plan would insure the fitness of every man in state fire departments,” Chief Briggs saids. “It will

do away with political graft. If the grading of a man is too low. he should be sent back for further training or he should be dismissed for inefficiency.” Expenses of the men in training would be met by local fire departments. the chief said. "It would put no burden on Indianapolis and would raise the type of personnel over the state to a high standard.” he said. Approximately twenty-five chiefs from over the state watched the dedication and drills here Tuesday. Mayor L. Ert Slack presided at the dedication.
