Rhiueland Cities Lead In Number of Saloons COBLENTZ () It is the Rhine land which in Germany harbors the cities having the greatest percentage of saloons.

Heading this list of anti prohibition towns is the city of Wip perfuerth in the Cologne district, which, with a population of 32,000, boasts of having a saloon for every .100 inhabitants. Then follow Bonn with 160, Cob lentz with 161, Mayence with 217 inhabitants per drinking shop. The latter city, however, is beaten by the non Rhenish town of Fuerth in Bavaria with a saloon per every 214 inhabitants.

The trophy perpetuates the memory Herbert Schiff, who was an aviator with the Naval Reserve, force during the war, and took extensive training each year at various air stations on the Atlantic coast until killed a crash at Hampton Roads, in 1924.

A rjea for Safety His far from being embittered by his death he was only 29 have endeavored through this trophy safeguard the lives of others performing the duties. Which," explains William Schiff, his brother, "is why the safety factor is all important. Dyer's record is an enviable one indeed. Twelve hundred and fifty one hours of absolutely safe flying in one year without an accident a remarkable accomplishment. "Not enough attention is paid to the successful routine flying that goes on the country.

Accidents, of course, are bigger news than safely pllshed routine activities. Yet, for the advancement of aviation, a little more emphasis should be given the facts about successful flying done by army, navy and civilian flyers, whose names rarely hear because their work is routine and unspectacular." Dry Lieutenant James K. Dyer, winner of the 192S Sohist safety trophy, has had narrow escapes during his flyinj career. Once he was forced down in a heavy sea 40 miles oif Panama and was rescued by a destroyer.

Klein's Undertaking Funeral Directors and Embalming SERVICE Mrs. Mary Klein Son 436 ALDER STREET Bell Phone 3 7412 I force in 1917. The following year he was commissioned ensign. In 1920 he was commissioned junior grade lieutenant in the U. S.

Navy and lieutenant in 1922. Prom 1924 to 1926 he was attached to the VP squadron of the Battle Fleet. Then he was transferred to naval station to San Diego, where he since has served in the capacity of chief instructor at the station. But despite his reputation as a safety flyer, Dyer has had his share of close calls during this decade of air service. Down in Heavy Sea "In 1923," he recalled, "we were flying a twin motored seaplane between Panama and Venezuela.

Every time we landed we sat down in heavy seas. We were weathering the storm in good shape until one of our engines went out. "About 40 miles out from Panama we made a forced landing in as rough water as I ever saw. The crew thought only a miracle would get them into port, but we rigged shirts between the wings as sails and tried for 48 hours to beat our way to land. Fortunately, a destroyer picked us up." On another occasion Dyer had been up in the 9, a non rigid navy air ship at Coco solo.

"Non rigids," he explained, "are made of rubberized fabrics. In the tropics the fabric deterioriates rapidly, but this balloon appeared in good shape when we took off. We went up to 1500 feet and soared at that altitude fcr a while. When the time came to descend, we came down to an altitude of 25 feet without incident. Just a Short Fall "Then the bag burst! It ripped open a distance of 85 feet along the top.

Had that occurred at any greater altitude, I never would have been eligible for the Schiff award." The Herbert Schiff trophy differs from many trophies in that it is not based upon competitive racing nor attempts at records, but upon a year round performance in the line of duty. It Is awarded by a committee headed by Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, and by William Schiff, to the navy aviator who compiles during a year the7 highest number of flying hours without ser National Fluffy in of to is in we SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13 Lieutenant James E.

Dyer has spent 3200 hours of his 34 years in the air. Eut thrilling as this may sound to others he dismisses it with a casual: "Just routine." Even whan he was notified that his record for the past year thai of keeping his plane in the air for 1251 hours without an accident of any kind had won for him the most coveted prize in naval aviation the Herbert Sehiff trophy, he refused to become a hero. "Just he repeated. "With airplanes built like bridges, as they are today, and with the government's Previous Awards Of Trophy Show Increase in Aviation Safety 1925 Lt. Reginald D.

Leland, the best machinist mate in the navy taking care of mv ship?" Will Fly To Washington That's the way this "safety ace" dismisses the honor and says that any one of several pilots he knows might as easily be standing before President Coolidge December 15 receiving the cup. He will fly across the country to Washington, D.
