CLASS 3— Industry and Useful Arts 31
COURTESY TITLE REEL NO.
Curtiss, Henri Farman, Jean Bleriot, who first crossed the EngHsh Channel in an airplane, and Lincoln Beachy, the first man to stunt in a plane. To illustrate the war period of aviation's history, some thrilling air fights are photographed, including a plane falling in flames. Scenes from a modern aviation school are also shown.
To bring aviation to its present stage of development, millions of dollars have been spent in research and experimental flying. Much of this money has been contributed by the oil industry. The Richfield Oil Company operates special trucks for servicing aircraft. One of them, piloted by "Richfield Red," is shown fueling the celebrated Goodyear blimp. The blimp lands and takes ofif again. Many different types of airplanes are illustrated, from the light sport model with removable wings for easy storage to the large Fokker airliner that seats 32 passengers. There are also several views of the Daniel Wahl 100 passenger flying boat. An autogyro aircraft, landing in a very small space, suggests that this type of flyer may be used in the future to avoid the necessity for large landing fields.
That man is now a real master of the air is clearly illustrated in the last reel of this picture. Planes flying in formation go through some amazing maneuvers. Lindbergh himself performs stunts for the audience. The celebrated three Sea Hawks of the U. S. Navy also do their deathdefying feats, looping, barrel-rolling and flying upside down in close formation. There is an unusual close-up in slow motion of a parachute jumper being pulled oflf the wing of a flying plane. Interior and exterior views of a modern airliner in flight and on the ground illustrates the speed and luxury of modern air travel.
A very timely subject handled in an extremely interesting manner. It is both educational and entertaining.

FROM SAND TO SUDS
Depicting the history of cleansing processes from the earliest times to the present, this film also includes a detailed study of modern soap making. The cave-man of 4,000 B. C. dressed in skins, cared little for cleansing processes. In 1500 B. C. sand and fruit juices were used for washing fabrics. Figures on a tomb at Thebes show that the Egyptians anointed their bodies with oil. A soap-maker's shop was found in the ruins of a Roman City, indicating that the Romans were the first to use soap. Modern hard soap was invented by La Blanc in 1791. Tallows, formerly used for making soap, have of recent years been replaced by vegetable oils, such as cocoanut oil and cottonseed oil. In the modern soap factory, these oils are carefully tested by chemists. We are taken for a tour of inspection through the White King Soap Company's plant, where the processes used in making granulated soap are first explained to us.
Prior to 1900 clothes were easily washed because there were no automobiles to fill the air with soot and grease. This new kind of dirt
