But then Pretto did not learn to fly a plane in thirty-two minutes! There was much hard work, many long hours of practicing and some discouragement along with the of learning to fly for Pretto. Under the date of June 27, 1933, she wrote in her log: "I had two lessons today.

The one in the morning was great. I never flew so well In my life. I made about four good landings all at once. I guess it was because I thought of what I was doing step by step. "The one in the afternoon had an audience Mother and two friends.

Maybe it was their fault but I don't think so. I think it was mine and the air currents. The first two landings were O.K., but the third! Well, to begin with I overshot the field terribly; so I gave her the gun and went around again. About that time I started thinking about what had happened last time so I let the nose get too high again. Then I started to fight the ship and everything went wrong.

I went around once more, then landed." Sometimes there were other discouragements, but, as Pretto added in her diary, "I guess that all goes with learning." One really big disappointment came when Pretto was within a few minutes flying time of securing her license. The government raised the requisite number of hours for a private pilot's license from ten to fifty! Shortly after this the United States Department of Commerce made an amateur pilot's license at twenty-five hours, but Pretto's goal was the private pilot's license which permits a flyer to carry passengers. JL Flying an average of thirty min- utes a lesson, Pretto plugged away for the rest of the summer. In the fall she went back to Flintridge and had to work in flying lessons over the weekends. So that it was a year after her first lesson when she had qualified for and received her license.

"That day was one of the most thrilling in my life when that little piece of green paper arrived in the mail," Pretto said, with one of her sparkling, contagious smiles. "Of course, the next thing I want is a transport pilot's license and that means 200 hours soloing and flying costs money." Like Miss Moisant, Pretto has never known any fear in the air. "It's not like being on top of a high building I've been frightened then, too," she explained. "Flying is perfectly natural and is really easier than driving an automobile. There are no gears to shift, no cross streets to watch and all the movements of the controls are natural and easy.

It takes no more nerve to fly now than to ride a bicycle." But just knowing how to fly isn't enough for this dynamic young lady. She wants everyone else, especially young people, to learn to fly. She is a member of the 99 Club and a lieutenant in the Women's Air Reserve, in charge of all junior recruits. When she was in junior high school, -Pretto began making speeches before school classes and clubs and then at other schools and before women's clubs all over Southern California. Now she makes on an average of two speeches a week, mostly before women's clubs and men's service organizations.

One of her latest ambitions is to establish a chapter of Alpha Eta Rho, aviation fraternity, at U.C.L.A. "I think that aviation Is going to play a tremendous part In establishing friendship between the nations of the world, and, eventually, in making universal peace possible. Some day I want to visit foreign countries by air and make friends all over the world." CHINATOWN (Continued from Page Three) and were dragged back. They shut their eyes, trembled and yelled. "Ai yah, ai yah," as they were splashed with mud.

We strolled through a lovely southern village, with tree-lined streets of colonial homes, before we came to the set. Sound trucks rode past us and limousines carrying directors, technicians, make, up and prop men, wardrobe people. It was dask and huge arc lights were turned on over the set. The mingled odor of dried ducks, incense, preserved ginger, scented rolls of silk gave the market place a most authentic Chinese aura, the smell of Chinatown, the smell of China. The native Chinese looked at it all with a yearning nostalgia; even the young one with the movie eyelashes murmured, "Gosh, this must be just like China." The boys were more interested in the Immense camera, the sound horns and amplifiers mounted on platforms, a truck like a lunch wagon in which sound engineers wearing headsets sat pushing buttons, all the exciting equipment that conjures Holly wocd magic.

fA Chinese-speaking American interpreted directions for the mob scene. "This is supposed to be a revolution. Anything in the town is yours for taking. Rush into the markets and loot. Grab things fight over them.

Be greedy have fire in your eyes." A rehearsal was called. "Remember, Wis isn't the picture," explained the interpreter. "Just pretend this time. Don't touch anything. And don't laugh." The director yelled, "Action!" and the mob extras rushed toward the fish stall where five of us women were pretending to steal fish.

My heart raced and my hands were sweaty when I saw what was coming. I made a pass at a fish, but my mind wasn't on my work. Laugh? Personally I didn't feel like it. My one urge was to run fast. Then the mob stampeded.

They grabbed at everything, including some cackling geese cooped up inside the stall. Crash! I ducked as down came a bamboo pole strung with sausages. Someone got a handful of my hair by mistake. It was a merry riot before the frenzied shouts of the director to "Stop! Stop!" were heeded. We thought the place would have to be abandoned for good, but a platoon ot property men went to work with brooms, brushes and hammers and it was soon ready for action.

Even the man-handled fish, which were made of rubber, looked alive again after a good oil spray. That market place was looted at least a dozen times before the director was satisfied. And after each try the crew of doctors and nurses in the improvised hospital near the set attended to a succession of bruises, sprains, black eyes, scratches, bites and stomped toes. This rampant realism cost one girl a fractured ankle. They carried her off on a stretcher.

Most of the injuries were among the young folks. The old men and the women-some with bound feet prudently stayed on the outskirts of the "revolution." When the director shouted, "Rest your arcs," we ran for boxes or baskets to sit upon. It was then, In the soothing darkness, that Ah Bok and his friends could sit and dream of other days. "In the village where I spent my childhood, there was a chicken store just like that one," reminisced a wrinkled-faced woman. "But even in the poorest districts the sahm clothes weren't as bad as these," murmured another, closing her eyes wearily.

A trio of girls struck up some close harmony. A couple tried to dance in the dirt. One girl pulled out her lipstick and powder and was making up when an assistant director saw her and ordered her face smudged again. Then he noticed our polished nails another job for the make-up man. 36 Pertaining to Dante 123 Goddess of dawn 94 Smaller 133 Dowdy In appearance 38 Raised part of a 124 Evening; oontr.

He started up, kicked the dummy, cussed it and us who were laughing.

The star of the picture rehearsed a scene. It was big stuff and thrilling for us to see, but not for the old folk. What did they care about a star? They would not recognize her name if it were mentioned. The one or two movies they had seen had displeased them because of the love-making and kissing; to them such exhibitions were vulgar and immodest. This attitude was amusing to some of the American-born, who knew that in Chinese drama a spade was called a spade, sometimes quite shockingly, even though the hero and heroine didn't so much as touch hands.

It was dawn before the night's work was done and we dressed, checked in our wardrobes, got our pay, and climbed into the busses that took us back to the Plaza. In the gray light it was no longer Canton, no longer glamorous Hollywood. It wasJust Los Angeles. Why Suffer Foot Pains? WB1LDB11JI16 QI1E IIII. NOKMAI W.
