And he has done the very things that small boys—and most men —dream about when thinking about what they’d like to be or have been. Long before he thought about the Navy and flying. Alford Joseph Williams Jr, was playing the games small boys like around New York City where he was born on July 26, j 1896. He attended public school J and later was graduated from Ford- ' ham High School and later Ford- ‘ ham University. Rare baseball ability developed at Fordham University landed Williams with the New York Giants in) the National League as a pitcher. He served under John J. McGraw ■ tor two years and then enlisted in the Navy for the duration of the war as a naval aviator. Just flying for flying's sake did not interest the tall, athletic and rangy New Yorker. He began to take engines apart and see what made them go. He also began to look at them from the standpoint of w hy they would not develop more speed. He specialized in testing airplanes for the Navy Department and daily ; risked his life to learn new’ things f about new planes. He also began developing aerial acrobatics for purposes of fighting in the air. It was his job and he was making the most of it. Won Degree as Lawyer Still. Williams was not satisfied at all He wanted to go farther — and he did. While still a naval aviator he was graduated from George- [ town University with a degree of batchelor of laws and was later admitted to the practice of law’ in New York state.

exam pi! of what a purposeful ambition to go ahead will do. Awarded Flying C’rosi In 1930 Williams resigned from the Navy, but not until he had been awarded the Distinguished Flying C”oss, a citation for which was prepared by the Secretary of the Navy. On May 29. 1929, Capt. Williams was one of the 12 men selected in the United States “in recognition of services rendered to aeronautics’’ by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This selection was accompanied by a trophy for outstanding services in flight research. Capt. Williams originated the plan of developing the expanses of land in and around Mitchell Field. Long Island, into the present aerodome known as Roosevelt Field. He acted as a promoter and realtor for the consolidation of the real property interests involved and effected the sale of same as the sole broker. Contributor to Magazines Capt. Williams’ busy life supplies him with a great diversity of interest. He is one of the officers of the Delaware Chemical Engineering Cos. of Wilmington. Del. He is a steady contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, Collier s Weekly. Liberty, and aeronautical journals on aviation subjects. He is a lecturer of note and attends to the practice of civil law in the state of New York. He owns a specially built and powered Curtis Hawk single-seater fighting airplane and holds a transport license unlimited. On July 1, 1933, he entered employ Gulf Refining Cos. as manager aviation department. On Air Each Saturday For the period Sept. 9. 1933, to Oct. 20, 1934, he was on the air each Saturday evening, over the National Broadcasting system, under the title “Flying With Capt. A1 Williams.” Capt. Williams wrote and delivered these broadcasts personally, covering current happenings in world aviation. And now, as head of the ScrippsHoward Junior Aviator, Capt. Williams sees a great new field of endeavor through which he may continue to work for progress in aviation. “I have thought about this sort of a movement for five years,” he said tc-lay. “And the manner in which Scripps-Howard has worked it out, marks it in my opinion as one of the greatest progressive youth movements ever started. I am very happy to have a part in it.” Exposing the dried leaves to the blossoms of such flowers as the swvet-scented olive, the gardenia, rose and jasmine, is the method used to scent tea artificially.

LAUNCH DRIVE TO FINGERPRINT EVERY CITIZEN Possibility of Identification System Arouses Interest of Entire Nation. The Department of Justice advocates fingerprinting of everybody in the country—criminal or not. Possibility of such a law has aroused widespread intcre,t —bow would it be done? Would the prints of a law abiding citizen be filed witn those of A1 Capone and Bruno Hauptmann? A United Press correspondent went through the fingerprint mill to find out how it was done and here’* how: BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Key six, primary one over one, secondary RAA over R final nine. That’s my rating in the Department of Justice. John D. Rockefeller Jr, has a similar phrase identifying him in the department's fingerprint division. So has many another wealthy man, as well as Alphonse (Scarface Al) Capone, the late John Dillinger, and some 4.500,000 others, mostly criminals. Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings, who had his fingerprints recorded only recently, is anxious for everyone to forward his prints to the department, in the belief such records at the fountainhead of American crime solution will go far to end kidnapings and mysterious disappearances. Toy fingerprinting kits, which work perfectly, are on sale at 40 cents each. The department furnishes the proper cards on request. The rest is fun—and doesn't even get your fingers dirty. It may, however, be a little embarrassing. The expert, who changed me from a name to a number today, classified the resultant print index card, only to find that it fitted between the records of a Florida highwayman and a Detroit narcotic peddler. Ele wouldn’t say where Mr. Rockefeller’s card belonged and said, in fact, that monest citizens’ fingerprints are kept in the non-criminal division, apart from the vast filing room devoted to America's public enemies. “Mr. Rockefeller is only one of a

Then he touched the.fingers to a piece of sensitized white paper, upon which immediately appeared the prints, as if etched. There was one square for each finger; big squares for the thumbs. The expert classified the loops, whorls and arches, and counted the ridges on each finger, marking them down in pencil with the appropriate symbol. These symbols he transferred to a heavy’ card by punching holes in the appropriate places. Then he poured a pile of cards, made from the prints of known criminals, into a sorting machine. He switched on the electricity,

CHEST COLDS Distressing cold in chest or throat, that so often leads to something serious, generally eases up quickly when soothing, warming Musterole is applied. Better than a mustard plaster, Musterole gets action because it’s NOT just a salve. It’s a "counterirritant"— stimulating, penetrating, and helpful in drawing out pain and congestion. Used by millions for 25 years. Recommended by many doctors and nurses. All druggists. In three strengths: Regular Strength, Children’s (mild), and Extra Strong.

It discarded cards at the rate of 200 a minute, finally shuffling out two. One was that of the Southern bad man; the other of the Detroit narcotics dealer.
