LP 55 AEROS READY TO BEGIN RACE TO-DA- Y Army Pilots Will Wing Way Westward, With San Fran- cisco as Goal. OTHERS SOAKING EAST First Machine Will Leave at 0 o'Oloclt, With Others at 2 Minute Intervals. Flfty-fiv- o airplanes of the beat Ameri- can, British and French models, manned by tlio best pilots of the United States Army, will wing their way from Jllooo-vcl- t Field, Mtneota, this morning across the city of New York and 'away Into the northwest on tho longest and most try- ing race ever attempted In the air. Thov are bound for San Francisco. The flrat'bf the airplanes from Mln-eol- a, a Bristol fighter flown by Air Com- modore L. E, O. Charlton, Air Attache of the British Embassy, who has boen permitted to enter tho race us a matter of International courtesy, will tako on from tho field at 9 o'clock, ami the others will follow at two in I mi to Intervals. iU the same actuul tlmo that Commodore Charlton mounts In tho air, tho llrsl of sixteen pianos at San Kranclsvo, 2,700 miles away, will also tako off for u dash toward the Atlantic. The great race will be started by Major-Ge- Thomas II. Barry, Com- mander of tho Department of tho East. The fliers last night received physical examinations to mako sure that they will be able to stand up undeflhe strain, for daylong flying for four or Ave days or longer, such as Is necessary In thla..race, which Is a gruelling task even for the sturdy young men of the air service. But all thoeo rln the race are not young, for example, there Is Col. C. C. Culver, who will hop off Immediately after Commo- dore Charlton. Col. Culver Is i years old, the second oldest man In the country to wear wings. He Is flying a Fokker, and hopes to overcome the natural cuss-edne- ss of the German piano by an extra amount of real American Air Service piloting. All Eager to Win, Officially the pilots In the race are striving for several ratings In speed and handicap competition, based on the type and horsepower of machines as well as on a first across the continent flight Unofficially every last one of the men gathered at Mineola Is grimly deter- mined to push his particular ship, what- ever Its class or type, across the con- tinent and sight the Pacific long before his fellows hit the Rockies or before the Frisco fliers' go buzzing over tho cornfields of Ohio. They aren't greatly Interested In win- ning one of thosa competitions where It takes several days figuring on pencil and paper to determine the winner. They are going to be first, every one of them. For example. Capt. \toy N. Francis, who is piloting one of the two big Martin bombers, carrying five men and pro- pelled by two big Liberty motors at 112 miles an hour, wandered into the American Flying Club, which Is man, aging the race, yesterday , afternoon and announced that he was going to try like the dickens to win out In the bomber class, which, of course, consists of two machines. Ills broad grin saved him. Thera will be another race back across the continent, but none of the fliers are worrying about that until they get to San Francisco. At the present tlmo all their plans have to do with getting across the American continent at as much better time than one hundred miles an hour as they can wheedle out of their sensitive, powerful motors. They have also tlio problem or flying straight, a very difficult one when half an hour off the course means fifty miles out of the way to a control station. There are twenty of these control stations be- fore San Francisco, Is reached, and each pilot must stop at each station at least thirty minutes so that his plane may be refuelled and Inspected to make sure that It is mechanically perfect. Must Keep Movlner. Fliers remaining longer than forty-eig- ht hours at a control station are elim- inated, unless lield by order of the con- trol officer because of heavy rains or dense fogs, the two contingencies which man lias not yet overcome In the air. The control stations arc located as fol- lows : Dlitance Mllea Between from Stops, Start. Control Stops. Alt. E.toW. E.toW.

True, the winds are from the northwest and strong, but there v.111 bo few clouds and no fog or rain. The filers from Mineola, according to Col. Archie Miller, commandant of Long Island flying fields, will buck head winds all the' way to Blnghamton, Rochester, and Buffalo, which should flow them down Just as many miles per as the winds happen to be blowing. The Frisco fliers will benefit by winds from tho same quarter but the matter of help or hindrance by wind Is somawhat evened up by tho fact that the west bound fliers, travelling with the sun, will have longer days to flJi !r, than the east bound pilots. The hop to Blnghamton Is admitted. ono of the most ticklish of the whole Jiurney. The stretch of 142 mlleB Is full of hilly and wooded country, and rocky pastures, all of which means al- most certain disaster In the event of a falling engine. There c considerable danger, also, of going astray in this country, as the only landmarks are a few lakes and the coiwoluttons of the Telawnre Illver, which might easily lead a filer out of his way If he hap- pened to pick a branch as tho twisting river itself. The pilots. wiU fly by map and compass, of course, but these arc rot always tho great helps they seem, especially if the precise strength and direction of the wind are not known.

William Mitchell, acting di- rector of the air service, twho will be present when the machines are sent off, spent all day yesterday with Col. Miller at Harelhurst Field. Gen. Mitchell has had personal charge of the extensive ar- rangements made for the contest. He ipent .Monday before Uio House Commit- tee on Military Affairs, which Is holding hearings Into a reorganization of the army. In connection with this reorgani- zation and with the transcontinental racp. which Is recognized us having so great an Influence on the general situa- tion. Gen. Mitchell said: \There Is no doubt that Congress will pass a bill pro- viding for a separate air service. With the exception of one rriembcr, the Sen- ate Committee on Military Affairs l.i strongly In favor of a separate depart- ment of aeronautics. The House Com- mittee Is greatly Impressed with the necessity of saving the air service. The members of Congress did not know the desperate position in which aviation In America finds. Itself as a rcsuu of the failure to adopt a fixed policy. They were so taken up with matters concerned with the ending of the war that for a time there was danger that eerial navigation and its relation to na- tional defence would be overlooked, but I am suro that this will not be the case. There Is tremendous Interest In tho transcontinental airplane contest. The pilots who are entered feel that It Is a test not only of their own skill, or of tne physical strength of the machines, but of the interest of America In aero- nautics.\ A new entry yesterday was omcIa\ly reported. Lieut. O. B. Newman of the Marino Corps has been permitted to en- ter as tho lone representative of the and sailors of the sea. Ho will have a DH-- 4 with a 400 horse-pow- motor. ' Great interest Is being shown In the race bf the men .of the air service, and many are the reserve pilots now In \cits' who wander about Mineola vainly wishing for some good fairy to trans- form their \cits\ to warm \Teddy bears\ and their reserve commissions to JOHN BOWMAN GIVES DINNER FOR AVIATORS Contestants in N. R6ce Get Wrist Watches. The aviators who took 'part In the New York to Toronto air race last Auguft wero the guests of John Mel\. Bowman last night at a dinner In the Commodore Hotel. Tho guests Included, besides the contestants, many promi- nent army and civilian aviation experts. All of the speaker urged the adoption by Congress of laws which would make the air service an Independent branch of the military establishment. Each, of tho contestants, most of whom are army officers and cannot accept cash prizes, received a gold wrist watch given by Mr. Bowman. Brtg.-Ge- n. William Mitchell of the Air Service was the principal speaker at the dinner. He urged an Independent air ; re., and declared that an aviation Industry must be fostered and made to provide a means of getting ships In time of war. He also said that If the United Slates went to war she would be outclassed so far as airplanes are concerned. Air Commodore L. K. O. Charlton, attache to the British Em- bassy In Washington, Bpoke along tho same lines. Other speakers were Bene dict Crowell, Assistant Secretary of War: Col. Archie Miller, who Is In com- mand of all the flying fields on Long Island, and Laurence Drlsge, president of the American Flying Club. The guests Included Col. M. S. Davis, Chance M.

Special Dupatch to Ths Scs. Washington, Oct, 7. That war mov ing picture taxes will not be repealed was made evident y when represen tatlves of the film Interests appealed to the House Ways and Means Committee for abolition or reduction of this class of taxes, as carried In the lost revenue Sentiment disclosed In the committee questions to-d- Indicated practical unanimity against the repeal of these taxes because of tlie large revenues still required by the Government, and there Is little doubt that the Senate will back thLi opinion. Representative Fordnoy (Mich.), chair man of the committee, announced his opposition to the repeal because lt would mean a loss of S66.000.000 In taxes dur ing the year when the Federal Treas- ury la expected to show a deficit of more than $2,000,000,000. Representa tive Kltchln (N. C.) declared he be lleved that moving picture taxes In some form would be continued Indefinitely. Charles Pettljohn of Indianapolis. chairman of the legislation committee of the National Association of the Moving Picture industry, and Charles HesDo. Jersey City, appeared before the commit tee to urge the repeal. Both declared that he attendance at moving picture meaires during tne last few months showed a loss of hundreds of thouands. and sought to place the responsibility on tne admission taxes. Representatives Fordney and Lonr worth (Ohio) took Issue with them and said the blame rested on the theatre owners tnemselves. who had contracted the profiteering habit and had Increased prices or admission. Mr. Pettljohn asserted the moving industry had been discriminated against In taxes and that no other busi ness naa to pay uiree taxes, as the Cliean theatres did. This, however, also was uemea py Mr. ordney. \inree taxes are levied against the moving picture business,\ Mr. Pettljohn wwu. wuu is me iv per cent. lax nn admissions, another Is the S per cent, tax on rums, ana the third Is the graduated tax on the seating capacity of theatres.\ air. reituonn recommended the abol Ishment of taxes on admissions under 26 cents. Mr. Hespe wanted the other two taxes eliminated, asserting that moving pictures were educational nd should be exempted In the same meas- ures as are newspapers and periodicals. \Moving pictures should be encour- aged during the present unrest,\ Mr. Pettljohn said, \for they will be a big factor In allaying the wave of bolshe-vls- m spreading over the country. As far as I know the Industry has never offered a picture that put radical activity In a favorable light. Instead of placing all these taxes on the cheap entertainments, my opinion Is that the Government should derive more revenuo from high priced shows, operas and prize fights. \The moving picture Industry was In- jured by the Government Itself produc- ing films during the war, although most of their productions were jokes.\ LOST GIRL FOUND IN SWAMP.

TEXAS BOY COMES TO SCHOOL VIA AIR Small nnd Bashful Aviator Refuses to Descrlbo De- tails of Trip. HIS MOTHER IS WITH HIM Piano Carrying: Them Driven in Fast Time From Houston , to New York. Ileal heroes are almost always modest, so while disappointing It was not wholly surprising to tho reporters who sur- rounded Seymour E. J. Cox, Jr. of Houston, Texas, at tho Hotel Vanderbllt yesterday and tried to pry some details out of him about his trip by airplane from his home to New York, to have him fall- back In a comer of the sofa on which he sat, tie himself up In a hard knot, and declare In a voice which though muffled by the goggles he had drawn down oyer Ills mouth was firm with undying resolve: \I am not going to say nothing I\ Having delivered this ultimatum he wriggled further down Into the sofa and flapped a disgusted hand at the news gatherers. It was an unconventional at- titude, but .when one Is but 9 years old and In the grasp of acute embarrassment one Is likely to be unconventional. Be sides Seymour was obviously sleepy. doubtless from too much altitude, lie rubbed one bright blue eye and seemed about to drop right off in the midst of tho lire of reportorlal queries when an awful thought made him sit up straight. I spose Mr. itlordan at the school will have assembly when I get there and make me tell the fellows. But L won't 1 won't I\ Distinction Is Irothln. The distinction of being the very first boy to go to school across the continent by airplane was nothing to young Sey mour, and neither had the experience excited his mother, who accompanied him on the (light. A quiet little woman la her trig leather coat and cap and leggings, she walked Inconspicuously Into the Vanderbllt after her taxi ride from Roosevelt Field, where tho Curtlss Oriole landed at noon yesterday with her, her son and tho pilot, Harold C. Block, and assured questioners that there was nothing remarkable about the trip. \He wanted to como to school that way,\ she said with a smile' Indicating her small son. \He Is going to the llaymond Rlordan School at Highland- -It Is called the School In the Hills. He has been up In the air a number of times since his father bought the airship last July, and once he and I went from St. Louis to Houston that way. No, I didn't pilot the ship; it was quite a mistake to say that I did. 1 know nothing about being a pilot, nnd I am not keen about learning. My husband .can't drive an airship either he Is too busy with his oil business In Houston lo learn. But wo tike to go aloft, and I never thought of being afraid. \We have been on the way Oils trip for nine days, but, of course, not rid- ing nil the time. We were held up at Blnghamton, the last lap of the Jour- ney, for three days by the fog and clouds. We left Houston, September 28. and made tho Jump to Dallas In 2 hours and 20 minutes. We came by way of St. Louis and Belleville, III., stopping In both places, and reached Buffalo Oc- tober 2 and Blnghampton the next day. Our actual flying time was eighteen hours. The longest time we were In ho air was 285 minutes.\ ITad Knrrovr Rucane, Pilot Blocki aMong, thin, flaxen haired young man, confessed that he was scared bine at one point In the trip. It was near Blnghamton nnd he and his pas- sengers narrowly escaped the fate of Major Patrick Frlssell. who was killed Saturday when his ship crashed Into a tree on the mountainside ten miles from Pott Jervls. \We struck dense clouds after leaving Blnghamton,\ he said, \a heavy bank of clouds that wo couldn't seem to get above, so I went scouting down to find where we were. I found out all right. Suddenly from the fog emerged the green top of a tree, not three feet below us. Mrs. Cox didn't eem frightened, but I got the ship away from earth ns quick as I could, and we turned back to Blng- hamton and stayed there till tho weather cleared.\ What did you do while you were fly- ing? Was It hard to ett still?\ the re of revolution R- - 1 he New tar for the ary developments in the automobile world fly about guickly. Word of a new Six, built upon radically new prin- ciples which produce new economies of gasoline, oil, tires and upkeep has been going about for months. It has be- come known that the car is to be given quantity production to place it within reach of thousands with moderate in- comes. It is a fact, that The Willys Corporation is bringing out this car. It is a. Six of great lightness of weight, wonderful readability, and unmatched economies. For more than two years the new principles and features of this car have been subjected to 200,000 miles of bruising, brutal road tests, under conditions of load, road and weather, more varied and rigorous than are met with by the average car in a life time. Even under these strenuous conditions, the car has aver- age 17 to 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. Complete details of the car porters asked Bey mo nr. who showed signs of emerging from Ills reticence at this\ point. He promptly retlnd Into lt \lou tell,\ he commanded Mr. Block. I'lnyed Gnmes on Wny. \Seymour played itnnes.-- ' said the piloL \He's got qutto nn imagination. He had an Imaglnavy wirele.'w nnd he sent messages back to hts father, ana tilings llko that. He sat very still, but of coureo It was a bit hard, for he had to sit low, being small, and couldn't watch the country below as well as Mrs. Cox, and he couldn't follow our route on tho map ns she did. But we put a looso belt on him and he managed to stand up when he felt like It and View things ibelow. In Blnghamton he had a great time.

A great Imagination he has.\ To-da- y tho lad, after his 2,000 mile trip by air from his home, will go to tho School In the Hills, while hlo mother will go on In the Curtlss Oriole to Wash-Ingto- D. C. She brought letters from the .Mayor of Houston to tho Mayor of Thousands is To Be a Six cannot be given out until it is placed on the market but, in addition, to the foregoing, it may be stated that the car weighs approximately 2,100 pounds and that it has. an en- tirely new principle of spring suspension. Al though the car has a wheel base of but 112 inches, this new spring suspension gives it the easy riding qualities of a car with a 142 inch wheel base. The Willys Corporation, which builds the new Six, is one of the strongest and big- gest industries in the automo- bile world. It makes the Elec- tric Auto-Lit- e, which lights arid starts the automobiles of thousands of. motorists; and by its New Process Gear unit, the Corporation is one of the' leaders in the manufacture of gears for transmissions and differentials of automobiles, trucks and tractors. In addi- tion, the Willys-Lig- ht systems of lighting for farms and homes are made at the Auto-Lit- e unit. This branch of the busi- ness booked orders for 20,000 sets or systems in the month The Willys 52 Variderbilt New York, and various other letters nnd messages to tho fhamber of Commerce nnd other organizations. Seymour's last word ns ho trotted away to dlniler was that he didn't tneait to be nn aviator. \Mr Block will be my aviator.\ ho sad grandly. \Course I rhall have air- ships, lots of them.\ HARRISON SHUTS OUT FILM PLAYS $10,000 Annual Fee Demand- ed of Movie Houses. Harrison, N. J., mid Its 16,000 Inhabi- tants Is to remain with any- thing that flickers on tho moving pic- ture Bcrcen. The opposition of twenty years standing raised against motion picture prospectors who now and then dared to enter the lllmless city with proposals was written Into tho city's local law last night when the Town Council adopted an ordinance requiring a (10,000 annual fee of any motion pic- ture house established. Tlio reason for the legislation, which of August alone. The plants of these units are very exten- sive and are located at Toledo, O., Syracuse and Poughkeep-sie- , N. Y. They will be sources of supply for the building of the new Six. It may be stated that, from the raw material to the finished product, The Willys Corpo- ration will, itself, or through controlled and closely allied companies, produce practi- cally every unit entering into the construction of this re- markable car. In order to give an adequate plant for the building of the new car in quantities, the Duesenberg Motors Com- pany plant at Elizabeth, N.J. , was purchased, together with its machinery, equipment and patents. The plant had been greatly enlarged for the build- ing of war motors, and is now being again vastly increased and equipped to give a capacity of 400 to 500 new Sixes per day.
