PAGE FIGHT PLANE SERVICE BRINGS TRAFFIC CHANGES ABOUT ‘Air Passenger Service Is Just Beginning; Planes Take Off Any Place Editor’s Note: This is the seventh of a series of articles in which Captain Malcolm J. Bu- chanan, writer for The Tribune and NEA Service, explains the use of the airplane and how to onerate it. Buchanan was & pilot with the U. S. Army Air Corps on the Western front dur- ing the World War and is now on the editorial staff of the Ft. Worth (Tex.) Press. BY CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN When a new method of transpor- tation springs up it invariably causes revolutionary changes in the older modes of travel—thus the airplane has brought about radical dl in the operation of surface, under-surface, elevated and water routes in use before the advent of winged vehicles. 5 The adaptability of the airplane to commercial usage has set the great traffic experts of our country to revising the various problems of transportation. And, as a result, some of the railroad lines and some of the steamship companies already are using the plane to help speed travel on their respective systems. Planes leave ships at sea and speed passengers, mail or cargo to port long before the ship itself can arrive; the railroads transfer night passengers to day planes and ar- range connection with another night train, thus giving more speed to land travel. Land Lines See the Trend Because we already have a net- work of airlines over the United States extending from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico, and because the lines already are begin- ning to draw heavily on the revenue of existing surface transportation lines, the railroads and the ship- ping interests have found these ™easures necessary. The straight air lines, however, go the old sys- tems one better —they are able to reach places not accessible to sur- face lines. The uses to which a plane may be Put seems to have no limit. Advertising firms all over the country are profiting with the flying machine. And even skywriting has Deen patented so that only one con- cern has a right to make letters in the sky with an airplane. Not long ago a leading cigar company fitted out a large passen- ger plane as a flying cigar store and at the various ports of call the “store” sold over the counter an average of $200 worth of cigars daily. A cigaret manufacturer fitted a plane with a loud speaker and used it over the country (2,000 over the larger cities) to inform the world of their product’s excellent quali- ties. On the Farm Then, too, the plane is taking its Place in agriculture. In the south Severel companies have been organ- ized to . Spray cotton and other crops with anti-insect powder in order to kill pests that are cuttine down crop production. In this work the plane does in 30 minutes the ‘work that would require days under the old methods of sprayin, cotton dusting planes can late” thousands of acres each d; A drug store in one of our cities is using the plane for out-vf-town deliveries, and scattered over the country are hundreds of privately Planes that may be hired for delivery service.

Moline of Jamestown was the successful bidder for the construc- tion of the Jamestown sewer dis- posal plant at the special meetin; of the city council last night, his bi being the lowest at a total approxi- mating $85,000. Other. bidders were Siems, Helmer & Schaffner, St. Paul; Repass Bros., Des Moines, Ia; Phelps Drake Co., Minneapolis; J. Dunkel, Des Moines; Weighton Construction Co., Audubon, Ia.; Granley Bros. St. Paul; Sioux Falls Construction Co., Sioux Falls, S. D. Moline was the only bidder from North Dakota. The contract does not call for completion of the plant this year, Sun Follows Light Shower in Bismarck A bright sun late this morning turned back efforts of a cloudy da: to dampen the spirits of Bismarc! residents, A light shower fell in the city be- tween 9 and 10 a. m. foll a chilly, damp morning, but the sun came out almost immediately after the rain had fallen. . The tempera- ture this morning at 7 o'clock was 58, according to O. W. Roberts, U. S._meterologist. Rains in Bismarck the last few days will hold threshing up in the district until Thursday night or Friday morning, Mr. Roberts said. Although heavy rains in some sections will delay harvesting con- siderably, the delay will not be gen- eral, accosding to a report issued by the weather bureau. “Weather during the last week was generally favorable for thresh- ing and some late harvesting pre- vailed in all sections of the state,” the report for the wheat and corn Bismarck Washington, Aug. 29.—)—Uncle Sam expects to snap shut in a few years the books on his career as an operator of commercial vessels. Steps to that effect, marked by the Proposal to sell the great Atlantic government, presage the beginning of the end of an epochal experiment in American history. | few years ago 2,600 vessels, plying the waters of the world, were operated by the government through the United States shipping board. Today there are some 250 ships on Uncle Sam’s books. Three years hence it is expected that all the vessels will have been turned back to private hands and the orig- inal aim which led to the establish- ment of the merchant marine at- tained — restoration of the Amer- ican flag on the high seas. The United States became a ship- ping operator for the first time in history after American cotton and other commodities rotted on the wharves during the early days of the World war because there were no American ships to transport them and the foreign vessels that ordinarily would do so were en- gaged in war service. The shippin board was created in 1916 and given authority to or- ganize a fleet corporatior. In 1920 the merchant marine act was passed, which provided that the government should put shipping lines in operation and after their establishment sell them to private UNCLE SAM PREPARES TO CLOSE CAREER AS SHIPPING OPERATOR the America flag prior to 1920 could have been counted with little jmental effort. There are 110 today, and more than 600 ships have been placed in the coastwise trade through the efforts of the shipping a passenger ships now owned by the | board. The United States has spent roundly $200,000,000 in launching \the enterprise, and one year’s losses those of 1923—totaled $42,967,185. Lately the yearly deficit has been around $13,000,000. What has been done, however, officials of the shipping board as-| sert, is the necessary expensive Pioneering work in launching an American merchant marine. The next few years, it is believed, will show whether the United States flag has been given a growing place in the sea’s sun. Efforts were made in 1926 to sell the Trans-Atlantic ships operated by the United States lines, includ- | ing the great Leviathan, but there | were no bidders. The Jones-White act passed by the last congress, | however, is expected now to result in bidding for the lines. The meas- ure enables the government to ex- tend much greater financial aid. T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the shipping board and a member since 1921, is regarded as the father of,| the disposal plan. In 1920 the per- centage of American foreign trade carried in American ships was 42.7 per cent compared to 8.7 per cent in 1910. In 1923, the last year for which figures were available, the parties.

Kegel, Chicago com- jioner of health, in an article written for the Gorgas Memorial Institute. “That hydrophobia is a prevent- able disease is shown in communi- ties where regulation of the dog population is rigidly enforced,” Dr. Kegel writes. “Since most cases’ of biting are due to dogs and since th disease is kept going by these ani- mi strict measures to control them necessary. “It is decidedly more humane to keep dogs under supervision than to resort to wholesale killing during the terror of an outbreak of mad- ness.” Muzzling dogs, the health director says, is the most effective prevent- ive measure. He listed other avail- “It is important to treat a dog bite intelligently,” he continues, regardless of whether the dog is thought to be rabid. “First, call a phy: in.
