Highest they can rise, however, is to chief aviation pilot. They never can attain the higher ranks of Annapolis An-napolis graduates. These men are the leathernecks of the air. 3 Aviation cadets. These are 1 graduates of colleges, briefly trained at Pensacola, who serve f for four years with the navy. At the end of four years' service serv-ice they are compelled to retire. If they want ' to secure officer's rank and climb higher on the promotion ladder, they have to go back to Annapolis and get steeped in the trimmings of militarism. Men in these three groups do much the same work, share the same risks, nevertheless the three groups get different pay and different social treatment. Between the enlisted men and the Annapolis graduates there is a wide chasm which the men resent deeply. NAVAL PURGE Resentment is articularly keen because some of the navy's non-Annapolis non-Annapolis officers are now being purged by passing them over for promotion, thus automatically retiring re-tiring them. On the purge list are some of the navy's ablest pilots: Captain John H. Towers, assistant assist-ant chief of the bureau of aeronautics,, aero-nautics,, crated the navy's No. 1 pilot. ' ; Commander A. E. Montgomery, ; executive officer of the air force ' at the .San Diego station. Lieu E Commander David Kit-tenhouse, Kit-tenhouse, winner of the famous Schneider cup. Lieut. Commander Howard Brow, winner, of the world speed record in land planes in 1922. Lieut..' Commander Andrew Crinkley, now testing a new bomber bom-ber for the navy, although he has been held unworthy for retention re-tention in the service. Lieut. Commander K. L. Lyons, World war ace. ' Lieut. Commander Henry Stan-is Stan-is ly. World war ace and famous racing pilot. Explanations of navy department depart-ment executives is that most of these men were World war fliers trained to pilot a plant but un- skilled at anything else, such as commanding a battleship. ' Therefore, wlien they reach the dangerous age- which is 40 for ' v pilots they cannot be put back on the oridge of a warship or in command of a .shore station. Furthermore, tne law requires that once an officer fails of pro motion, he must be automatically retired and the navy department has no other alternative. In this, the explanation of navy higher-ups is correct. The fault is in the law rather than in its administration. Nevertheless, Neverthe-less, the situation does not make for hafmony in naval aviation ranks, and the men who are retired re-tired claim that they should be given a c"hance to command air units ashore. .jj J; i CROWDED PEARL HARBOR . . :-.

When British war office heads wanted to find out how good their new air raid shelters are they had a brick wall pushed over on the conelike structures, shown above just as tons of masonry fell oa v them, bounced off harmlessly. taking place in the navy last year was studied by President Roosevelt, and resulted in an order or-der by him, personally, that pilots should spend no more than six hours in the air. Nevertheless, accidents, though diminished, have continued. One cause of crashes is the crowded condition of Pearl Harbor, Har-bor, Hawaii, which makes it difficult dif-ficult for planes to land. Biggest naval air station is located on Ford Island, right in the center of the billion dollar base which is the keystone to U. S. defenses in the Pacific. The cnannel between Ford Island Is-land and the mainland is crowded crowd-ed with two ferry services, warships, war-ships, tugs, speed boats, social yachts. Japanese fishing sampans, and a myriad of anchorage buoys. And into this sea traffic, almost comparable to Times Square at 8 p. m., the navy's giant- bombers bomb-ers must swoop down, one after tne other, adding to their hazards haz-ards the waves kicked up by the plane landing just ahead. The job of landing a plane under these conditions requires super-pilots, i3d is like letting trucks, norseoaek riderS and' rVoys on bicycles dart across an army airport wnen a plane is landing. The wreck of a giant bomber in Pearl Harbor ast November emphasized the suicidal aspects of Ford Island, and now the navy department is rushing completion of a new air base isolated from Pearl Harbor's congestion.

All of this has caused Representative Repre-sentative Maas of Minnesota, former for-mer wartime flier, to propose abolishing both West Point and Annapolis requirements for army and navy fliers, placing both services ser-vices under one air command with special air schools. This is the system followed ty the British Air Corps. SERIAL STORY! - NO TIME TO Yesterday i As Barney drops Janet off at her home, he asks her about her stock and at lemctklsK la his tone she senses a new fear. CHAPTER V WHEN Janet entered the apartment, apart-ment, she found Aunt Mary and Cynthia together in the living room. At something conspiratorial in the faces they turned toward her as she went in, her sopping shoes making little-quishy noises on the polished floor, she laughed. "What skulduggery are you two up to now?" she demanded. "Something else I'm not supposed to know? After all, whose wedding wed-ding is this?" "Not at all," said the old lady briskly. "I didn't really intend to tell you until after the marriage; but I suppose there'll be no peace now until you find out. Since we shan't be needing so much room after you're gone, I'm taking a smaller apartment next month." Something speciously cheerful in the old lady's voice, and the hint of warning in the swift glance she cast toward her granddaughter arrested Janet's attention. "Where are you going?" she asked. "I've been considering the Ava-lon." Ava-lon." Janet paused in the act of removing re-moving her coat to turn incredulously. incredu-lously. "One of those chicken coops?!' she cried. "But, Aunt Mary, you couldn't stand being penned up there! And what would; you do with all your beautiful things? They'd never fit in with that ginger-bread y joint." ' C HE looked about . the . charming room, with its high; ceiling, its dignified vistas, its deep, rich rugs, its books and gleaming mahogany. "It had occurred to me that you and Lance might find room for some of the larger piece until you have time to look arou-J for just what you want . . . And in any event," Aunt Mary finished tartly, "there are such institutions as storage vaults." "You'd better not tempt roe too far, Aunt Mary. It will be years before Lance and I could find anything any-thing as beautiful as some of your heirlooms. But you might as well put yourself in storage, too, as try to live in one of those two-by-four cells at the Avalon.

"It was a moment before Jantt entirely understood. Then she cried, "I don't care if she can't. You're not going to move one inch, Aunt Mary. Not while I have more than enough " . She had started to say, "Not while I have more than enough for both of us.'' 'TTHEN she remembered. If she were to assume the payments on the house, she was not at all sure that she would have enough left even to make up the difference differ-ence in Aunt Mary's rent. It had developed into such a very costly house much too costly, for two young people just starting out in life. But Lance had felt that they must have something in keeping with the dignity of a rising young architect. As Janet broke off, she was miserably mis-erably kware of Cynthia's speculative specu-lative glance. There was something some-thing uncannily intuitive about Cynthia. "Well, at any rate," Janet finished fin-ished desperately, "you're not going go-ing to do a thing until but why, of course! All we have to do is to make a few very simple changes in the plans for our house, and you can have a separate apartment there for yourself, Aunt Mary." "Not while I'm able to keep al tent over my head," said Aun Mary grimly, "do I go to liye.'in any other woman's house . . not even yours, ;Janet . . .

IFeo G53gxfte G3S GiD3 before in our experience has a tire met with such instant and unanimous approval as the new Firestone Champion Tire. It's the Safety Sensation of 1939! Our customers have started a word-of-mouth campaign cnat Is making this the' biggest selling tire we've ever had. Motor car manufacturers have been so impressed by its superior performance that they have adopted it for their 1939 models. Why? Because the Firestone Champion Tire is an entirely new achievement in safety engineering. Stronger Cord Body. This is accomplished first, by the use of a completely new type of tire cord called "Safety-Lock," in which the cotton fibers are more compactly interwoven to assure cooler running and provide greater strength. Then, the fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and the plies themselves, are all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping which provides amazingly greater strength. And greater strength means greater safety. More Non-Skid Mileage. The new Safety-Lock cord construction provides the extra strength needed for the use of the" new, thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip tread which delivers remarkably longer non-skid mileage. This sensational new tread is called "Gear-Grip" because of its unique design it has more than 3,000 sharp-edged angles which grip the road with a sure-footed hold to protect against skidding and assure a safe stop. Drive in today and equip your .car with a new set of Firestone Champion Tires the only tires made that are safety-proved on the speedway for your protection on the highway.
