CAMERA LINKED
TO SAFETY IN AIR
Government-Developed De
vice Automatically Records
Planes’ Characteristics.
Bt the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla.. Dec. 2.—An Ingenious
camera developed by a Government
_ bureau is helping to make flying safer.
Its use was described at today's ses
iion of the National Association of
State Aviation officials by A. B. Mc
Mullen. chief of the airport section
of the Bureau of Air Commerce.
The camera. McMullen explained,
automatically records the landing and
take-off characteristics of all types of
airplanes—how fast they climb, their
rate of acceleration and their per
formance at varying altitudes.
These data, in turn, are used to de
termine the size and character of the
airport needed for the operation of the
planes.
Bureau records show that 10 to 15
per cent of air accidents are at
tributable to inadequate or faulty
landing facilities.
Calling for the formulation of a
national airport program, McMullen
said, "All plans for the development
of civil airports should be closely co
ordinated with plans for national de
fense."
GUI Robb Wilson, aviation director
for the State of New Jersey and out
going president of the association, in
his annual report suggested establish
ment of a Federal aviation commis
sion to "boss" flying, as well as a bu
reau of Federal airports to aid States
end municipalities in airport con
struction.
While the aviation officials from 40
States conferred several hundred
planes congregated at Miami Airport
for opening of the city's annual air
show tomorrow. A "planned flight”
contest for flivver ships, sponsored by
Bernarr MacFadden, the publisher,
will conclude this afternoon.
Floyd B. Evans, director of the
Michigan Department of Aeronautics,
was slated to succeed Wilson as presi
dent of the association.

his bed clothes and called, “Santa,
get up. My new game is ready for
you.”
So Santa popped out of bed, and
ran with all the toys to the skis.
"What are they?” the toys shouted.
Some of the tin soldiers were using
them as bats, but Santa strapped his
right on, saying, “Why I used to ski
when I was a young man. What a
nice idea, Helga. Come on, Mrs.
Santa: we won’t W'ork today.”
He stood up, pushed his feet along
the snow and slid off down the hill
from the toyshop door like a Jolly,

silver skis and followed like a streak

At the top of the next hill Helga
and the soldier passed Santa.
"I’ll beat you to the bottom,” sang
out Helga.
Suddenly at her other side Helga
heard a deep voice say, "You ll beat
the soldier, but you can’t beat me.”
She looked around and beside her saw
a beautiful white fox running so swift
ly his feet barely touched the ground.
"Oh, Helga,” whispered the tin sol
dier. "Beware of him.”
"Why, I'm not afraid of him,” Hel
ga laughed. "Look.” She grabbed
the tip of the fox’s white tail as he
skimmed past her and together they
seemed to fly to the bottom of the
hill. The poor tin soldier just sat
down on a snowball and panted until
Santa caught up with him.
"’W/’HERE’S Helga?” asked Santa.
"Gone oft with a white fox,”
said the soldier.
"Gracious, that fox has stolen two
other dolls,” said Santa. "He’s so bad
he knows he won't get any Christmas
gift. He might steal Helga. We must
And her.”
But as he spoke the soldier ex
claimed, "LookI Down the hill!"
There came the white fox still run
ning, and Helga skimming along be
hind him. The fox brought Helga
straight to Santa's feet.
“You must be off to your hills,”
said Santa to the fox.
"Just where I was going, sir,” said
the fox, but under his whiskers he
whispered to Helga, "I'll be back at
midnight.”
