Won Air-Race By
Riding A Train
The young Man in the Lea-
den to. Manchester express
amazed his fellow-passengers by
incessantly poking his head out
of the window. Asked what he
was doing, be replied: "Pm win-
;ling an air race,"
Everyone thought he wail
crazy. But young Claude Gm-
hame-White had his with, about,
him that day, fifty years ago,
bad entered his aeroplane
for the London to Manchester
race, for a prize that would
nowadays be worth $150,000. His
machine was a home.-made con-
traption of wood and fabric,
and had no navigation instru-
ments at, all. Grahame-White
couldn't afford them — instead
he planned to steer by the rail-
way line and had arranged with
the railway company to have
key points along the track
whitewashed, including the roofs
4f selected junctions.
But young Claude's career' be-
gan years before -- tinkering
with a bicycle. He grew inter-
ested in all, kinds of machinery,
and eventually trained as an
engineer. He built his own rac-
ing-bike, then took to motor-
ing on homemade racing models.
Then he turned to something
new — to aeroplanes, which at
that time were slower than a
modern motorcycle and almost
as dangerous to the owner. '
Nowadays, pilots must train
'thoroughly before they are al-
lowed to fly solo. Not so Gra-
hame-White. After a few hours
with a textbook on the ground,
he jumped into an aeroplane
and flew.
He won the Manchester race
and afterwards sailed to Ameri-
ca for a series of contests
against machines far more pow-
erful and better equipped than
his own. His 'plane seemed so
primitive by comparison that at
first some ,of the judges refused
permission for him to take part.
But he won through — and
amazed the Americans by tak-
nig first prize in every race.
Back in England again Gra- „:
hame-White organized a unique
'air-mail service of his own —
,
the first in history — years be-
fore the Post Office or commer-
cial airlines dreamed of such a
thing.
When he visited the fields that
were then Hendon aerodrome, ,
tbe set about the task of making
it into Britain's number one air-
port. In; the years when night-
flying was unknown, he staged
series of thrilling after-dark
air displays. Within a few years
his exhibitions of aerial acro-
batics had transformed Hendon
'air display into the finest of its
kind in the world.
But Grahame-White never lost
his love of motor racing. He was
a frequent visitor to Brooklands
and on one occasion was racing
when a wheel of his car worked
loose and sped into the crowd.
A gasp of dismay went up. But
Grahame-White went on and
with masterly skill managed to
keep his car on an even keel to
win the race,
Seeing the car lose its wheel,
a newspaper reporter there
dashed for a 'phone booth with-
out waiting to discover what
would happen and got through
to his editor with the headline—
Grahame-White Crashes. ,
When the 1914 war came, lie
turned aircraft designer and
manufacturer on a big scale: Re-
gradless of profit or loss he, em-
ployed 3,000 workers to make
'planes for the B.E.F, in France,
Then -- by his own choice
he disappeared froni the world's
headlines. Between the wars he
concentrated on his business.
When he died recently, at the
age of eighty, many young peo-
ple had riever even heard of
him.

_Ea cry hunter who has rifled
his way up the sporting scale
rabbit to white - tailed deer
dreams of the day he will turn
gunsights on a grizzly bear or
pump lead through the heart of
a moose. Hunters who have shot
both prefer to take on a grizzly
rather than tangle with a bull
moose. This misshapen creature
with the massive antlers and
misplaced goatee 7— he often
weighs 1,200 pounds or more—
is a bulldozer on hoofs, and
when the fall rut is on he's spoil-
ing for a scrap.
Ordinarily, the sight or scent
of man is enough to send a
moose about its business. But
not if he has his dander up or
if some cow moose has just
sperned his romancing. One ex-
perienced guide told me: "The
males are on the prod for about
a month and a half, but the
cows are interested in them for
only'four weeks. After an amor-
ous bull has been spurned a few
times, he gets mad. He's itching
to take on all comers—humans
,included."
Despite' thei'r' massive size, a
moose can slip through dense
brush almost noiselessly. His
eyesight is not good, but his nose
warns him of danger long before
he sees it, In battle with one
another they charge head-on and
the impact of their racks meet-
ing can be heard a mile away.
Another guide not long ago
told me many tales of the terror
moose struck into the hearts of
hunters confronted for the first
time by one of these majestic
brutes. Some threw their guns
away and fled up the nearest
tree; others froze in their tracks,
too flabbergasted to pull the
trigger. One hunter was shown
moose tracks along the muddy
bank of a lake, took one look at
them and then began to pack his
gear. Asked where he was going,
he replied: "I'm getting the hell
out of here. I want no part of
anything that makes a footprint
like that!"

There seems to be no explana-
tion for the recklessness of a
bull moose charging a railway
locomotive or plenging head-on
into a speeding" automobile. In
the Chapleau district otOntario,
where' are plentiful, sev-
eral locomotives have tangled
with enraged moose. Train crews

a surprised motorist not long ago
had his car smashed by a moose

overhanging'wall of rock along-
side which the car was parked.

The !noose, behemoth of the
North American Continent, fa-
vors the forests of Ontario. Hard
hunting after the last war de-
pleted the herds so much that
nonresident hunters had to be
barred. But now the bars have
been lifted, and in practically all
sections of the province where
there is moose habitat, the herd
has made excellent population
gains. During a season of nor-
mal weather, mpose hunters are
extremely successful, In' some
years more than 80 percent of
those licensed bring out animals.
There are some hunters who
claim that the lowest powered,
rifle that should be considered
for moose is a .300 Savage with
220-grain bullets. I like the .30-

themselves, In this kind of hunt-
ing, telescopic 'Sights are advis-
'able. There are still available
many guides in Ontario who can
call the bull moose to the gun
—especially if the rut is on. In
this type of woods hunting, open
sights are adequate, and some-
times preferable to telescopic
sights, and most certainly so if
there is snow on the trees.
A veteran moose hunter told
me of his guide's strange duel
with a cow moose: "Jim, who
had called more than 40 moose
since his boyhood, got the bull
on a string almost at once though
other callers had worked' that
area without much success, It
was a completely windless after-
noon; his calls rolled across the
hills in a vibrant chant.
"There were t h e familiar
sounds of the bull grunting and
,the breaking brush as it came
from inland. It emerged into a
swamp td the west of us, where
it was hidden by willow trees on
an intervening ; point of land.
"Tribugh there w a s heavy
splashing; it wasn't apparent that
a cow was with the bull till
more than half an hour after the
calling started, Then, ot'er and.

Nasty Moments
For Air-Pilots
Flying smoothly at 30,000 feet
over the German-Dutch border
one day last month, Flight Lt.
Frank Stevens suddenly saw a
terrifying sight. Two jet fighters
were streaking straight toward
his Comet airliner at a deadly
closing speed — more than 1,000
miles an hour. Stevens "prepared
to do something drastic" — then,
at the last "very nasty moment,"
the fighters banked and scream-
ed overhead. They were less
than 50 feet away.
On board the Comet, Queen
Elizabeth II and her husband,
Prince Philip, were returning
from an informal visit to .Den-
mark: The Queen shrugged off
the incident with a smile while
Philip was reported to have com-
mented with "one short word."
But when ''other Britons heard
the news, they exploded. The
tabloid Daily Sketch spread a
banner headline on it front page
with the demand: WHO NEAR-
LY KILLED THE QUEEN?
It was no marauding Russian,
Stevens reported. The planes
'were American built Sabre jets
with "damn great iron crosses
under their wings." That forced
the embarrassed West German
Defenie Ministry to start an in-
vestigation, expressing "deep re-
grets."
Scarcely less embarrassing was
the week's other airplane mis-
adventure — that of Pan Ame-
rican pilot Warren Beall, who
was taking a load of 41 passen-
gers aboard a Boeing 707 jet
from Frankfurt to London. One
knowledgeable passenger, Doug-
las McLean, looked out the win-
dow and as the plane started to
land exclaimed to -the steward-
ess: "This isn't London." Mc-
Lean, an Englishman, offered to
bet a dollar, but the stewardess
blandly replied, "Oh, no, it is
London."
A few seconds later the giant
Boeing touched down, and pilot
Beall found himself barreling
down 'a 1,800 yard runway
(barely half the length normally
required to halt the big jet) at
Northolt, a little-used RAF air-
field which, because of cloud
cover, looked similar to London's
airport, 5 -,miles away. He jam-
med on his brakes and barely
managed to stop just 100 yards
from- the end of the runway,
