Schildhauer Savs Superplanes Are Near Sails to Fly Atlantic Transatlantic superairllners, even larger than the huge DO-X, the world's greatest passenger carrier with a record of 169 riders on a single trip, were envisioned by Lieut. Clarence H.

Schildhauer. navy flier and co-pilot of the Dor-nier plane, on the eve of his departure for Europe. Lieut. Schildhauer sailed yesterday on the Majestic. From Cherbourg he will proceed to Lisbon to Join the crew cf the DO-X.

The airliner ls shceduled to hop for America within the next fortnight. Test for Future The outcome of the present flight of the DO-X, Interrupted a few weeks ago when a wing of the flying boat caught fire, will determine the practicability of large liners, the lieutenant said, and unon its suc WILL FLY ON DO-X Keller Speeds Airport Work; Ready May 1 Administration Building BiMs to Be Opened To-morrow, Says Sponsor Bids for the construction of the dmint.nration building at Barren Island are to be opened tomorrow and the contract awarded as soon as one is approved, T. F. Keller, chief engineer of the Department of Docks, announced today. He is in charge of the airport's development.

The estimated cost of the building is $240,000, and it will contain the mcr; "o.iern equipment available. "It will be a three-story building, 100x200 feet, with telegraph, telephone, radio, a meteorological department and offices for carrying on business at the field," he said. Sea Base Contract A contract for the construction of the seaplane base adjourning the flying field was awarded recently. The sum of $148,000 will be spent on this development. The successful bidder was Charles F.

Vachrls. contractors, of Brooklyn. The contract calls for construction of runways leading into the water, bulkheads, grading of the field, top oil and grass seeding. The work tinder the terms of the contract will require 150 days. Although the contract was awarded about two weeks ago, poor weather conditions thus far have held up the work.

It will be started within two or three weeks. Work on Hangars Loading a demolition bomb aboard a giant Army bomber. The insignia on the fuselage, showing Jiggs with a bomb under his arm, is the ma'rk of the 11th Bombardment Squadron. The huge bomb is carried underneath the fuselage. U.

The Prince, he said, was well pleased with the behavior of the ship. Ensy Stages of Hop The DO-X, powered with 12 American-built Curtlss Conqueror motors, ls now being groomed for the resumption of its flight to this The tentative date for the takeoff is Jan. 20. It will carry, in addition to regular instruments, Sperry horizon Indicator, manufactured in Brooklyn by the Sperry Company, as an aid; In "blind" or thick weather flying. The route of the DO-X will not be directly to North America.

Departing from Lisbon, the boat will fly to the Canary Islands, thence to the Cape Verde Islands and thence across the South Atlantic to Fernando Noronha and Rio de Janeiro. From Cape Verde to Fernando, the longest over-water stretch will be covered by the flying boat, a distance of about 1,200 nautical miles. From Rio the ship will fly north, reaching Miami some time early ln March for the first stop in th United States. From there it will continue on to New York, landing in the waters of the city with both seagoing and aeronautic papers for clearance. GAS DREAMS FADES Auckland, N.

Jan. 10 UP) A drug clerk made a big clean-up here when he tricked experts Into believ ing that he could "brew" gasoline from sea water. A company was formed whose $5 shares Jumped to $100. Then the clerk fled, but he was arrested in Australia. 'Jewel King' Carries Pocketful of Gems Los Angeles, Jan! 10 To the "Jewel King" of India, carrying around a quarter million dollars worth of gems in his vest pocket is nothing.

After Prince GaneshI Lall of Agra, India, stepped out of a transcontinental plane recently from San Francisco to be met by Lai Chand Mehra, a relative, the eyes of the airport at-taches bulged as he drew forth diamonds, emeralds and rubies. The Prince is touring the United States to make a study of Western civilization and progress.

Wi'Il Vart nBi'ill be used by its owner.

Com cess will depend further development of those superblrds. He said: "Dr. Claude Dornler, designer and builder of this plane, has plans for a flvinar boat even lnrppt thou thp DO-X. Where the DO-X has a carrying capacity of approximately 45 tons, including 66 passengers, the Duperimer couia carry iuo tons or more than 120 persons. These plans, however, are dependent upon the devcloDment of the power plants, and await only their development to become an actuality.

The plans are now on DaDer. When the demand fnr Rimh a ship arises we will see its actual construction. Regular Ocean Hops Regulaf transatlantic air service on a weekly basis is within five years of realization, Schildhauer believes. Such service will be of fered by large multlmotored flying boats like the DO-X, but smaller in size, at the beginning, he says. Lareer boats will event.unllv on tntn operation as demand develops for Sicmwi imr.viiig capacity.

Contrarv to eeneral onininn pven in aviation circles flint, tho nf the DO-X makes the ship more difficult to fly, Lieutenant Schildhauer said there was little verity in this view. The mechanism of control has been so worked out, he said that It Ls no more difficult to fly the DO-X than any other plane. He added: "Every pilot, who has been on the mander Glen Kidston, millionaire I Britisn sportsman, and thePrince i of Wales for a hunting trip into the i heart of Africa during February. lilC fjiail, UUIjAIICCU URM1I1 LfJC, has the high speed of 185 miles an hour and carries complete night- flying equipment, a powerful send- ing and receiving radio, a special ventilation system designed to keep the rahin rnmfnrtnhlp fnr frnniml flyin? arid special instruments, in- i cludinp an earth inductor compass, an artificial horizon and a complete Questions and Answers The eight hangars which com niet. thP first nrt nf the builriins program at the field are now in various s'ages of construction.

One of them is practically completed. A parking space accommodating 800 cars, which will be increased as demand grows, is just being completed. "There is no reason why nymg cannot begin the first of May." Keller said. Things will not be fully completed by that time, but construction will have advanced Informed that according to a re port the financial earnincs of New- ark Airport. also municipally owned, for th year 1930 were $75,000 in rentals of hanpar space and gasoline sales, on an invest- mem esumairo ai i.eiicr said "That is to be expected.

I don't think the city's field will pay for Itself in some time to come. The value of the real estate is especially large. However, it is important that 'the city keep abreast of the times In transportation methods. It 13 really a contribution to aviation." A total of 150 men are now engaged in work at the field, he added. This number will be increased to between 300 and 400 by the first Msrch.

Leland L.

Rounds, formerly of the Lafayette Escadrille. The plan is designed to give American youths an ooDortunitv to learn aviation under conditions similar to those that prevailed when American war pilots were trained in France. It has been develooed as part of the program of the international League "to bond together in a single unit all aviators throughout the world, regardless of race, creed or politics, that they may benefit from the friendship and sportsmanship which ensues wherever airmen foregather." Branches in 3.1 Countries The league's headquarters are In Paris, where it maintains a clubhouse, privileges of which will be olTered to the American group during the three months training course. The league's president and founder is Clifford Burke Harmon, American and pioneer balloonist and aeronaut. He is donator of the Harmon Trophy, awarded yearly for the outstanding aviation achievement.

To date, the league has granted charters to posts in 33 countries, including the United States. Eng- land. Japan, Belgium.

JANUARY 1st, 1931 INTEREST RATE 2U Demas said yesterday that he actually trembles in the presence ot a professor, that he becomes so frightened he can't think clearly. This is the young man, though, who, when the ice barrier bejan breaking up in the Antarctic, saved irreplacable flying equipment by quick thinking. Yet Demas, a husky young man of 25, could with little effort pick up one of his professors and toss him Into the Harlem River. Fear Comes Naturally Probably this fear of professional dignity came naturally, Demas naively offered. He started his schooling in native Greece, he ex-plained, where neither rod nor child were spared.

He can still remember his first teacher using the rod effectively. Demas, who knows as much about tuning up an airplane as any one his age, having the experiences of a veteran explorer, wants to be more than a good mechanic. On a scholarship he won while ln Little America he must take two years of university work before he will be edmitted to the practical aero nautical course in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics. He has seen service with the Byrd Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, has soared over the barrens of the Hudson Bay country with the Dominion explorers and, as a mechanic, has played a part in hall' a dozen transatlantic flights from Long Island fields Built Kites in Greece In Greece he used to build kites so big they pulled him off the ground. In Washington, which he still claims his home, he started ln with flying machines that flew by rubber-band power.

When he first became acquainted with Byrd. the Admiral got him a job Bt a Washington flying field, greasing planes. Hearing of Byrd's intendrd flight to the North Demas left home without telling his parents, took the examination and passed. When he passed he said he "ran home throush the streets like a wild man to tell my family that I was going to the North Pole." Demas was among the greasy crew who waved Byrd and Floyd Bennett a bon voyage from Spitzbergen. That over, he went to Roosevelt Field, where he was associated with Byrd again in his America transatlantic flight.

But before that it was Demas who, when Lindbergh took off on his epochal flight, raced down the flying field after the "Lone Eole" in a battered old car loaded with fire extinguishers. After that Demas practically lived in Long Island hanTars, helping tune up planes for Chamberlain and Levine. Ruth Elder. Thea Rasche and Bert Aeosta. He came out of those experiences with the nickname, Pete.

Adventure Calls The urge for adventure still strong. Demas piled up more experience with the Dominion explorers who, after establishing a prospecting base a 1.000 miles from a rMlroad, spent weeks flying over wastes west of Hudson Fay in search of what was described as "fabi'lous" deposits of copier ore Then when Byrd was preDaring for his Antarctic expedition. Demas suddenly received a message from the Admiral, offerlnt? him a job. A I little later Pete was In New York with his tool kit, his sole possession, and had signed up for Little America. He took along engineering at the request of N.

Y.U. instructors, and when his buddies were busy in their Antarctic shelter shooting wild deuces, Demas was trying to Differentiate between sines and cosines. In 1935, If Pete keeps up hi? t-cholarship and if Admiral Byrd doesn't organize a flying party tn look over the moon, Epaminandos J. Demas will be a graduate aeronautical engineer. Then he can begin designing his own planes and motors and have some one else grease them end follow them down run-wavs in battered old cars loaded with fire extinguishers.

Business Careers Reins Chosen by More N.Y.U. Girls Dean MaMon Fin1s Thoy Are on a Par Willi Men in Their Class work An increasing number of young women are electing business for careers, Dean John T. Madden of New York University's School of Commerce, says in his annual report to Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown "More and more Intelligent are ettending the School of Commerce." Dean Madden reported Scholastirallv. he added, they are cn a par with the men. women students are registered in the school now.

Commenting on the tendency among business organizations to demand vouth for positions to be filled. Dean M-dden said that despite the fact that much discussion in regard to older workers took nlnce last year, as far as ran be learned nothing has been accomplished beyond arousing sympathy. The dean traced the blame for this riirectlv to the business organization themselves. 1 Dime Savings Bank Havemeyer South 5th Sts. You can make your It Holland, Spain, Sweden and way.

Gains Made in Sales of Cars At Auto Show 'Buying Crnwtl' Attends Display Autocar Co. Increases Production The Autocar Company has In-'! creased its schedule for production and shipments during the first quar- tci level muie muii oj iieieeiu in advance of the like period of 1930 in line with a sharp increase ln orders booked over the past few weeks, according to R. P. Page, president. "Our plants have been maintained on a full-time basis since early in December," Mr.

Page said. Sales of cars introduced at this year's New York automobile show not only exceeded those made at the 1930 show, but ln a number of individual instances showed some remarkable gains. A canvass of leading sales executives elicited a practically unanimous expression of satisfaction with results at the show as reflected both In actual number or orders booked In dealer Interest shown in the offerings and In the number of prospects gathered at the various booths. The attendance di'rlng the week was somewhat under previous high records, but crowds represented a larger proportion of people who were actively in the market for new cars than was the case last year, it was said. Salesmen on the floor and booth managers described visitors as a "buying crowd," rather than a "curiosity crowd." Optimism Increasing In Electrical Trade Strengthening Influences have begun to make themselves felt In electrical equipment markets of the country.

While business in most districts continues along moderate lines, a more lively optimism in electrical circlet is beginning to dissipate the gloom of prolonged dullness, Electrical World reports.

Claim of Abyssinian Monarch At the recent coronation of the King of Abyssinia the newspapers reported that he was a direct descendant of King Solomon by the Queen of Sheba. Can you tell me where I can verify this statement? A. H. Ras Tafari, who last fall waa crowned emperor of Ethiopia or Abyssinia as Haile Selassie claims direct descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba and writers in the various newspapers and magazines in commenting upon the coronation tacitly accepted the claim of the African monarch. And the authoritative encyclopedias refer to the Ethiopian chronicle which relates that the son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon born after the Queen's visit to Jerusalem became as Menelek I the founder of the royal dynasty of Abyssinia.

The encyclopedias admit that the history of this African country is somewnat obscure. The kingdom accepted Christianity in the Fourth Century, the people previously having been i adherents of the Hebrew faith. Please tell me on what day of the week April 12, 1879, fell. C. G.
