Part VII.
Wiley Post was hnppy when
the way was smoothed for the
opportunity to make real the
"biggest thing he could think of
that bug to go around the
world.'
With assurance of the financial
backing of F. C. Hull, his Okla
homa friend, and the spontaneous
co-operation of his navigator, Har
old Cutty, Post went to work in
earnest shaping things for the
argosy he. had "dreamed of for
over four years." .
Trio Dig moment had arrived
ror the young man who, as
farmer boy, had expressed his
aviation bent by whittling out air
plane models. .
To Post the task of getting his
sieeK monoplane, 'Winnie Mae
In condition was the main objec
tive. He himself, as usual, was
riding the crest of health's wave.
Nor did he feel misgivings about
hls'Ublllty to handle the plane
as long as net- motor soothingly
sang.
It was primarily the Job of the
meticulous Gatty to fuss with
maps, charts, logarithms nnd nil
those things a good navigator rel'
Ishes.
To make perfect ' his plane,
Wiley spent a month at the air
factory oh the Pacific coast where
he once worked as chief test pilot.
The 425 horsepowered, super
charged motor of his "Winnie
Mae" was to be termed both his
"mascot ana good luck charm."
Upon its throbbing nine cylin
ders he lavished the mass of mc
chanlcnl lore gleaned from his
working on all sorts Of engines.
He even reached buck lo utilize
that experience born of1 barn
storming tlaya-'Svhen he thrilled
country crowds with ;. his wing
walking and parachute leaps, ami
gave the right click to erratic
motors.
It was only a Rhell of the en
gine Uint carried hlirt to victory
In -the 1930- national non-slop air
derby ' from the Pacific coast to
Chicago. Parts had been replaced
only after they had been X-rayed,
etched, "and microscopically stud
ied. "We spent as much' money
on .it' Post said, "as a new en
gine would cost, but we wouldn't
trade ,it .for two new ' ones, I'm
sure."
To gain more speed he worked
out his own fuel carrying nrrnnge-i
meht unci altered the wing adjust.!
ment.. The fuselage and five wing
units served as gasoline recep
tacles, . This moved the weight
sufficiently to the front to permit
what Post said Would' bo easier
handling, evener balance nnd bet
ter' speed flying position.
A slight negative angle of Inci
dence to the wings was made to
"give more speed nnd at the same
time balance the. load better."
Fullv loaded, tho ship weighed
aboul 6u00 pounds with a range
of 8400 "miles on. the 640 gallons
of gas and 31 gallons of oil which
she carried.
Spare parts assembled were
valve springs, bearings for engine,
rocker arms and spark plugs.
Post saw no need of carrying
either parachute or life raft. The
food was limited to Just a ie
bites." Wiley sized up the situa
tion this way:
Vlf we come down in the ocean
well, It'll be all over. Food
won't do us any good."
Comtiasses for pilot and navi
gator were packed, as well as
other convention Instruments.
There was also an "artificial hori
zon" and a "directional gyro" to
aid In fog nnd other Wind flying.
Above the place for Navigai"!
! "' ck. a glass fittdd

headed for Hoosevelt field after
"ul " ""'s sojourn in Washing
ton. Wiley went to tho xnr.lt.. i
I ing permission to fly over Kussia.
I ms had be.-n granted, however,
while they were en route. Wiley
jokingly said, upon hi'uring this
information, there Was not much
for them to tlo "but to let presi
dent Hoover have a chance to
look over a couple of ombittods
men."
They did talk, however, with
Secretary Stlmson of the state
department, ami proudly posed for
pictures wllli the ranking cabinet
officer.
To capital reporters Post raid
they were "going to fly around
the world In ill davs, and maybe
less." Post said plans fhowed
107 hours of flying time would
be required. This was prophetic,
the actual flying time being only
a few hours less.
They figured the ship would
have an average cruising speed
of 150 rnilis an hour. It did.
Wiley and Ills partner loitered
at Roosevelt field several weeks,
waiting for Dr. .lames Kimball of
the U. B. weather bureau, to say
nil was well. Mechanics marveled
at the hverhnnism of the "Winnie
Mae." Every now and then Wiley,
dubbed at the field the most "un
worried man Ihrtt ever flew across
tho Atlantic," gave his plane a
casual look over, always leaving
with a satisfied expression.
Then came the. big moment, the
dawn of June 3. To Harbor
('.race, N. v., they streaked. Mid
afternoon found Wiley Pout Her-lin-bound
over the Atlantic, real
action in tempo with a long-cherished
dream.

ing hall of funic). 1

10 RELIEF HURLER;
OFTEN WINS $250
Chad Kimsey, the St. Louis
Browus' elephantine pitcher, has
heard a lot about the depression,
but he can't find It. The money
market, in fact, has been decided
ly easy with Chad recently. :
I'nder the Brawns' IS31 rules, a
pitcher who either saves n game
already won or wins one which Is
tied up, collects $250 for his efforts, i
Kimsey is "rellevur-in-cliief" of
the Hrowns' curving corps, und is
finding no fault whatever to the
role, sometimes regarded as a
rather lowly one for a pitcher. i
llig Chad recently won lute-inning
games from the Vunkees and
Athletics on successive days nnd
collected $500 of P. Do C. Hull's
cash.
"Iliisine'ss." said Kimsey as lie
pocketed the money, "Is decidedly
on the upward trend nnd prosper
ity is just around the corner."
Pipgras Finally Wins !
NKW YOKK (VP) When George
Plpgias, big righthander of the
New York Yankees, turned in a
victory in the latter stages of the
Juno campaign against the Cleve

to a lute stait duo to nti appendl
