Most collectors are familiar with At a result of the Frank Hawk Texaco Contest, in which thi great American speed pilot i offering f50 in cash to member of the Legion building the bent replicas of his new Sky Chief plane, many of our Legianaires hare asked that I publish a brief biographical sketch of the life of this prominent flier.

Many life sketches of Frank Hanks have appeared from time to time in the newspapers and magazines of the country, but wishing to respond to your requests, and seeking something new in the way of a biography, I approached Harry A. Bruno, one of Mr. Hawks' closest friends and business supervisor, and prevailed upon him to write the following short outline of Frank Hawks a he sees and knows hitn as a man, as a pilot, as a friend of all young aviation enthusiasts. FRANK MONROE HAWKS, The pilot, the man, the friend. By H.

A. BRUNO Frank Monroe Hawks rode to fame, almost literally "sitting on the wind." Back and forth over the transcontinental air trails and other cross-country lanes Hawks has piloted the fastest aircraft of his time so that while still in his 30s he has won international note as an aviator. the stamps of Spain, with the control numbers on their backs, or the Swedish stamps of 1886-91 with the blue post horn on their backs. These markings were put on the "ttamps as an additional guard nuairiKt-. rnunrprfpitinr' Tint it re- maincd for New Zealand in 1893 to utilize the otherwise wasted space by putting advertisements on the backs of her stamps.

And so we SPEED FLIER find on the stamps of that far-off country, surh advice as "Use only name soap take no other." For those collectors who like to go after J- mm a i i i mm mm i ml acquaintances most of the foremost and best known collectors In the world, and his talk largely concerned his dealings with such famous personages as King George, the Prince of Wales, King Fuad, Baron Ferrari, Col. Greene and Arthur Hind. During the course of his talk, Mr. Phillips mentioned that Baron Ferrari who owned the largest collection in the world, spent about $10,000 per week for a period of more than 50 years in accumulating his Immense collection. Baron Ferrari did not use albums to contain his collection but had his secretaries mount the stamps on sheets of paper about 12 by 4 Inches.

These sheets were then wrapped in bundles, labeled, and stowed away on shelves in his library. When he died during the war, the French government seized his collection which had been willed to the Berlin Museum. The French disposed of it in a series of 14 auction sales extending over a period of four years. The sale realized $1,632,524. The late Arthur Hind was one of the heaviest purchasers at the sale and secured the highest priced Items the unique 1858 British Guiana one penny for which he paid plus tax and commission a total of about $39,000.

Mr. Phillips and William C. Kennett according to the terms of the will of Arthur Hind, are to be employed in disposing of his collection which is valued at over $1,000,000. Colonel Green, son of the eccentric Hetty Green, according to Mr. Phillips, Is another of the world's largest collectors.

His collection Is valued at about $2,000,000 and contains, among many other fine and unique items, all the position blocks of the U. S. 1918-24 cent airmail inverts. King Fuad of Egypt is the owner of the world's finest collection of Confederate States Issues, having purchased the Curtis collection to which he has added many fine items. Mr.

Phillips also told of the founding of the large English philatelic Arm, Stanley Gibbons, Ltd. In 1864, young Stanley Gibbons as a lad sold stamps for collectors In a corner of his father's chemist shop. One day two sailors came Into the shop and offered asackful of Cape of Good Hope Triangulars. The price was 5. The sailors had just arrived home on a voyage from result of my war service.

I am torn that only World War veterans are given preference, so far as the city government is concerned, I know that is not the case with the Fed eral Government employes. VETERAN. We are informed that the disa bility aplies only when due to war service. In that event yours would not apply, for you state that your disability, although 50 percent, is not the result of your war service. Railroad, Not a Vehicle Tunnel Perhaps you can enlighten me on the exact location of the Sarnta, Huron, Mich, Vehicle Tunnel.

Any information you may have I wiu greatly appreciate. JOHN PHILLIPS. There Is a railroad tunnel linking Sarnia with Port Huron, but we find no reference to any vehicular tube. Possibly you have in mind the Detroit-Windsor Vehicular Tunnel, opened Nov. 3, 1930, with a capacity of 1,000 motorcars each way per hour.

Wiseacre' Answered In Part In the Sunday Eagle of April 23, I note "Wiseacre" asks several ques tions, one of which I may answer without hesitation or doubt: Who knows about the tunnel (not saloon) in the vicinity of Borough Hall? My answer to this is that it was at the foot of Atlantic beginning at Smith St. Both ends were closed after It ceased to be used by the Long Island Railroad, and the last I knew anything about the tunnel it was used to raise mushrooms, being ideal for this purpose. The best known dancing hall 40 years or more ago that I remem ber and patronized was Rivers Dancing Academy at Court and Livingston Sts. The Abbey is a fa miliar name but if my memory serves me it was a place where liquor was served and being a tee totaller I had no use for It and do not remember the location. ROWLAND STORY, A Question of Grammar Please inform us whether "ef fect" or "affect" is the correct word to use in the following sentence varying widely In its effects upon individual banks."

When Firemen Fought About 50 or 55 years ago, as nearly as I can remember, there was a nre at Atlantic and vandcr-bllt to which two volunteer engine companies responded. I re call that there was a terrible fight between the two companies. One was Eagle 13 and the other was No, 10.

Well, I hope you can, and I will be very glad if you will. KAY ROUSSEAU. You are entirely too young to give any thought to becoming an actress.

You should continue your school work, acquire an education and build up your tody as well as your mind. Eight or ten years from now will be plenty of time to consider adopting the stage as a 'pro- fession. By that time you may have changed your mind and lost your desire to become an actress. In any event a first-class education Is a prime essential to success. In addition you must have a natural talent for acting.

No child of 12 years snouid think of the stage as a profession. That is the best advice of which we are capable. Shattering a Superstition Please give me Information re garding experiments performed to prove the fallacy of the superstition regarding the susceptibility ot bulls to red. LAURA KRIEGER EADS. Research Associate, Erpl Picture Consultants, 250 W.

57th Manhattan. Bulls are proverbially supposed to become particularly infuriated when they see a red object, especially a piece of red cloth in motion. This is a myth, according Popular Questions Answered. Dr. George Stratton, an American psychologist, investigated the subject and came to the conclusion that all cattle are practically color blind.

Experiments made by Dr. Stratton at the University of California indicate that bulls and steers are unable to distinguish red from pink, green, purple or white. The bulls reacted to red just the same as they reacted to other bright colors. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, a bull's attention can be attracted with a bright colored object more readily than with one dull in color. One Investigator came to the conclusion that if there is any difference at all, white Is the most effective color for Infuriating a bull.

Bullfighters dress In bright colors and wave pieces of bright colored cloth not only to infuriate the animals, but also to attract the spectators. Red is naturally a favorite color for this purpose because it Is bright, the color of blood, and It reacts most quickly on the human optic nerve. But It is the brightness of the cloth in motion rather than the particular color that excites and maddens the bull. "Mother o' Mine" Can you tell me who wrote the poem, "Mother o' Mine?" If possible please print It in the column of "Questions Answered." E. G.

P. St. Albani, L. The poem for which you ask was written by Rudyard Kipling and is as follows: II I were hanged on the highest hill. Mother o' mine, mother o' mine! I know whoa love would lollow me still, Mother o' mine.

I know whose tears would come down to maV Mother o' mine, mother o' mine I If I were damned ot body and oul, I know whose teara would make me whole. Mother o' mine, mother o' mlnel the Meal" Perhaps, as Mr. Burden suggests, tome old reader of The Eagle will recall that fire, with its resultant 'scrap. In those days, however, luch clashes at fires were by no means uncommon, and it may be difficult for any one now living to recall that particular encounter, although some will no doubt remember the engine companies involved.

Seeks Social Service Work I am desirous of doing some kind of child welfare or social service work. Please advise me how to seek this kind of employment. I have a car and am greatly interested in this kind of work. HARRIETT E. ELS NER.

We can only suggest that you take the matter up with the Social Centers Corporation, at 918 St. Those in authority there no doubt can advise you how best to proceed. It may be that your servicesparticularly as you have a car and are in a position to get about regularly and easily will be welcomed. Post Cards and Old Painting I have about 15.000 or more post cards from all over the world, since about 1894, mostly In post card al bums; also an on painting, "An Italian peasant Girl in a Storm." It is more than 100 years old, and I was told by one interested In paintings that it was very valuable. Can you suggest how I can advantageously dispose of them.

OLD TIME EAGLE READER. It is impossible to advise you in the matter of disposing of the articles you name. We can only suggest that you take up the matter of the painting with some art dealer, who may be able to determine its value. The post card collection may have a value, but we cannot attempt to suggest a purchaser. Seeks Sorority Charter Please publish in your Questions Answered column the address to which one must write asking for a sorority charter.

Also give details concerning matter which one must send and cost of charter. Also please publish the salary of a high school teacher and that of a teacher In the city colleges of New York. A CONSTANT READER. Apply to the Secretary of State, State Office Building, Manhattan, We cannot advise you as to the cost of a charter, but you can obtain full Information there. Salaries of high school teachers are graded accord ing to length of service and other qualifications.

The same is true of those employed in the city colleges. For that information we suggest that you communicate with the Board of Education, Park Ave. and 59th New York. Not Known at Ebbet's Field I am much interested in acquir ing some information regarding a Philip Feldman, who was a mem' ber of the Brooklyn Baseball team about 8 or 9 years ago. He was an.

outfielder with the club but a few months and was to be "farmed out," but left. I would like as much information as possible. CHARLES J. McLOUGHLIN. Inquiry made at the headquarters of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, at Ebbet's Field, brought the information that Mr.

Feldman was not known there, and no one could give any information concerning his present whereabouts. Child of 12 Seeks Stage Career Kay Rousseau, would like to know some information and I would be very grateful to you If you Louis H. Houqui something different, we would sug-'. gest trying to build a collection of these interesting items. "Stamps" magazine of March 18 and April 22 contains lists of many different Varieties.

Since most of the stamps catalogue only a few cents each, an interesting collection can be built at small cost. However, the low cost does not mean that the stamps are easily obtainable and the collector will find that building a collection this sort will require considerable time and searching for some of the Items which are rather elusive. In 1911, Nicaragua's supply of regular postage stamps was depleted. While waiting for the arrival of a new supply from the printers, the backs of revenue or fiscal stamps were marked with Inscriptions and values stating that they were valid for the njarked amount of postage. When these stamps were used for postage they i v.

I would be most appreciative if you could help me as soon as possible. (Miss) MARIE SORMANI. There are many clippings in The Eagle's Index Department dealing with the subject of which you write, but they cannot be mailed out, as they are constantly required for reference. They can be consulted during business hours, on application to the head of that department, 4th Floor, Eagle Building.

More About the M0 Acres' I have been much interested in the letters appearing in The Eagle In reference to the "40 Acres." The question put by M. E. B. was correctly answered by Frank F. Moran.

I have lived close by the "40 Acres" since 1869. Our first home was an old farm house at the corner of Howard Ave. and Chauncey and at present I conduct a little store on that same site, and have sold The Eagle, daily and Sunday, for almost 25 years. I travel through a part of the "40 Acres" twice daily, delivering papers, and am often asked questions about that territory and adjacent sections. In my boyhood there was a big hill on Broadway at Rockaway and in time of heavy rainfalls the water would flow down and flood the "40 Acres." After a severe rainfall in Summer the water in parts of the "Acres" would be three feet deep, and the boys would go swimming there.

Following a light Spring rain there would be a good crop of dandelions to be gathered for greens, and after a light Summer shower the mushrooms would spring up in great quantities. In Winter the "Acres" formed a natural skating rink. One could skate from Howard Ave. to Halsey or from Chauncey St. to Halsey, or from Hopklnson Ave.

down to Howard Ave. I have a neighbor who is an old-time Brooklynite. He now lives in the house next door to the one in which he was born, right down in the "Acres" and he knows all about that section. He is 10 years older than and has lived there since about 1858. I serve The Eagle i to him every day, and perhaps he will see this and be moved to tell you more about the "40 Acres." I find the "Questions Answered'' one of the many interesting features of The Sunday Eagle.

The Twelve o'clock Man' While in Brooklyn 'recently I met an old friend who, like myself, has been reading The Eagle for the past 65 years. We fell into conversation, and recalled among other things the story of the old Park Theater which was printed in The Eagle recently, It was very Interesting to us, and we hope to see more reminiscences of old days In Brooklyn theatrical and otherwise. Our meeting took place near Borough Hall, and my friend asked me if I had ever heard about the "Twelve o'clock Man," who used to appear regularly every day in front of what then was Brooklyn's city hall. The story was that he came In the hope of col lecting a certain sum of money that was due him (or that he imagined was) and that he paid his daily visit to that 0ot for 20 years. No one seemed to know who he was or wnere he lived.

After waiting a short time he would turn away and disappear. Perhaps some old-time reader of The Eagle can tell more about this peculiar person. It would be an interesting story. WILLIAM FISHER. 46 Ormond Hempstead, L.

Johnny Reel's lament About 60 years ago a New York ponccman, omcer senmitty, was killed by a man named Johnny Keei, wno resisted arrest for minor crime. ine prisoner was later executed In the old Tombs prison yard.

His friends were unsuccessful in getting Mm a reprieve, and he attributed this to the fact that he voted the Tammany ticket, and In one verse he alluded to this as follows: Oovcrnor Hoffman would not pardon me, And I'll tell you the reaaon why; Berauae I Toted for Tammany, This day I tc die. The song created quite a sensation at the time.

It was printed In the old-time penny ballad form, and thousands of copies were sold on the streets by newsboys and vendors. THOMAS FOX. 30 Garnet St. War Veteran's Question I would like to know If veterans of the Spanish-American War in the employ of the city government are given preference in the matter on which to print ner stamps. Rather than buy paper from sources outside the country, the frugal Latvian government confiscated a large supply of German war maps and ft Wine As Part of This is probably the best way to start a brief biographical sKetcn oi this great aviator.

But if I were to start with the conventional beginning I would say that Hawks was born in Marshalltown, Iowa, on March 28, 1987, the son of Charles M. and Ida Mae (Woodruff) Hawks. If I did that I would be telling you that he is now 36 years old, and as age is usually secret among us mortals, I refrain from, beginning my article with that information. (So I didn't.) As a pilot, Frank Hawks is known as one of the leaders. Two fast monoplanes and a glider were the aerial perches on which he first won wide recognition.

He had hopes of being the first to make the nonstop flight from New York to Paris, believing that the flier who first accomplished this fete would contribute to aviation what no other flier ever could thereafter equal-becoming a real pioneer trail blazer. However, when Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh completed his historic hop over the Atlantic, beating all other challengers to the "stick," Hawks turned his attention to speed. "Fast planes," he said, "promoted the primary value of aviation.

Gliders and gliding," he explained, 'contained al the fundamentals of flight and, accordingly, proved a stimulus for flying as a profession or for sport." Coast-to-Coast Nonstop Trip Hawks achieved his first national fame in February of 1929, when he and a mechanic flew nonstop over the 2,500 miles from Los Angeles to New York in 18 hours, 21 minutes, 59 seconds. This record, however, was quickly broken and Hawks remained comparatively out of the aviation spotlight until June 27, 1929. On that date, flying alone in the Lockheed, the same high-wing monoplane In which he established his first record. Hawks traveled nonstop from New York to Los Angeles in 19 hours, 10 minutes and then on the following day ho returned nonstop In 17 hours, 36 minutes. He had gone from Coast to Coast in 36 hours, 44 minutes, which gave him the cross-country laurels East, West and round trip.

These records continue to be recognized, even though other fliers have made better time through the advantage of refueling stops midway at Wichita, but, as in the case of the loss of his first transcontinental record, Hawks wasted no time redeeming what these competitors had taken from him. He personally sperviscd the construction of the Tcxact 13, a low-wing monoplane capable of a high speed of approximately 250 miles an hour, and in August of 1930 he flew from New York to Los Angeles, making five stops. In 14 hours, 30 minutes. 43 seconds. A week later he returned, making three stops, in 12 hours, 25 minutes, 3 seconds.

These records have since ben broken. Such flights, however, Identified his craft as one of the fastest commercial airplanes in the world and Hawks as one of the speediest of airmen. Subsequently, Hawks flew his winged torpedo between scores of American, Canadian and European cities, establishing informal records between many of his takeoff and landing points. Many of these flights were made in 1930, for which year Hawks was chosen America's outstanding flier by the Llgue international des Avlateurs. Noted as Glider Aside from his speed operations Hawks Is distinguished as the first transcontinental glider pilot, in tow of an airplane, Hawks flew his Room 329, 30 E.

An lnteh- estlng task for a collector with a i "jig-saw complex" would be to at-' tempt to reconstruct one of those German war maps, using only post-ally used stamps.

In 1895, Portugal also Issued a et of stamps with inscriptions on their backs. The stamps were Issued to commemorate the 7th cen-; tonary of the birth of St. Anthony of Padua. On the back of each ttamp is the Latin prayer of the tongues. It is related that the pious Portuguese believed themselves to be "acquiring merit'' each time they "kissed" the prayer prior to placing it on a letter.

Eaglet glider from San Diego to New York in the Spring of 1930, explaining that the trip with Its landings in a score of cities was a deliberately spectacular effort to rivet attention on gliding a logical first step for the training of airmen. Hawks himself, however, took his air training practically in one hop. As a school boy at Long Beach, he had posed as a newspaper reporter offering publicity in return for a flight to a barnstorming avia tor who was carrying passengers commercially. So he obtained his first flight, and subsequent confession drew him closer to the pilot, who subsequently used Hawks as a ground assistant. Hawks had acquired the desire tfc be an aviator, although a few years previously, as a member of a stwck company in Minneapolis, he had thought of a stage career, and when the United States entered the World War on April 6, 1917, he left his freshman classes at the University of California and appeared at Love Field in Dallas as an Army flying cadet.

While still in his 'teens he was commissioned a lieutenant. When he was discharged In 1921 he was a captain, meanwhile having served as instructor at various Army fields in Texast. Then fololwed a half-dozen years of barnstorming and commercial flying in the United States and Mexico, and In late 1927 Hawks joined the Texas Company, under which his spectacular career began to take shape. He was first employed as aviation superintendent, but after a half-dozen sensational accomplishments he was promoted to the post of aeronautical adviser. While flying commercially, however, he held the rank of captain in the Army Air Corps Reserves for a time and later transferred to the Navy as a lieutenant commander.
