C., July 19. — Connecticut citles are keeplng abreast of the remarkable progress now being made in aviation in the United States. Since the passage of the Alr Commerce Act, which was intro- duced by Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut. definite steps have Leen taken toward acquiring and developing airports at Bridgeport, Danbury, and Stratford. When this program is finally carried out and | considered with airway facilities | now avajlable. Connecticut will rank Wwith the leaders in the number of | important stops along the national | airways system now being mapped out by the Department of Com- | merce. | Recent accomplishments of Amer- | fcan aviators in flying across the | Atlantic and far over the Pacific | oceans have stimulated nationwlide | interest in acronautics and probably | no other industry has gone forward | .with such rapidity as has aviation. “During the past year,” William | 'P. MacCracken, Jr., assistant secre- | ‘tary for aeronautics. Department of | Commerce, saild today in comment- | ing upon aviation's growth, *“more | than 50 new airports have been es- | " tablished and twice that number of | citles have set aside funds or have | begun plans for modern airports. | Chambers of Commerce, business ‘clubs and other civic organizations | are cooperating in an effort to ‘build up a complete airway and air- | port system. By the end of 1927/ about 1,000 airports and intermedi- ate fields will dot the United States, | from coast to coast and from Cana- dian border to the/ Gulf of Mexico.” At the present time there are 864 intermediate landing | fields in the United States. Of this | number 207 are owned by munici- palities, 163 by commercial and pri- | vate enterprises, 124 are Depart- ment of Ccmmerce fields, 287 are miscellaneous ln'er-‘ mediate fields and S1 are army, | navy and national guard fields, 1 Treasury, and 1 Agriculture field. | ited and marked in- | will total approxi- | he end of the 1928 | fiscal year as compared with 124 at | the ptesent time. In addition, 92| municipal fields are proposed. Some 3,000 such as pastures or similar arca; scattered 1hrcughout the country are listed by the Department, as having the necessary size and loca- tion for landing fields and take-offs. | Government officials hope that | Colonel Uindbergh's 130,000 mile tour of the country will advance the | timates that i termediats fic general knowledge of aeronautics in | eph Kowalski, 60, proprletor of a tics of the | ypt earthquake totalled 200 killed., || this country. Within three mon(hs‘ he will visit 75 cities located in | every state in the union and also | B e——— ————— the advancement of aviation. F 'DETROIT BEGOMES [ built up a vast popular interest in | “Colonel Lindbergh has already aviation” says Clarence M. Young, director of the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce, “In his message to the people on the tour, he will add to this inter- est, and in addition will increase the education of the whole country in regard to the necessity for their supporting ecmmercial flying. This will be done by indicating how a thorough support of the air mail : will increase the number of con- tract lines covering the United States and also how the develop- ment of airports by municipalities will make possible the use of mod- ern planes on regular dependable schedules. In short, he will show you how air commerce is ready to serve the people to their profit.” Back of the development of avi- ation in this country is the air mail service which was established about nine years ago by the Post Office Department. With the efficie.acy of | the service proved and placed upon a profitable basis, the Department considers its very experimental work at an end and by August 1, all air mail will be carried bmy private in- dividuals or companies under con- tract with the Department. There are 15 air mail routes now under contract and all -but two or three in operation. Within the past year these air mail lines have been reaching out like claws ona giant crab toward most of the important cities of the United States. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1928, planes flying both day and night travelled 2,256,137 miles «nd transported 353,641 pounds of air mail and the total excess postage received for this service totalled $861,865.05.

LATEST FLAGSHIP Taken Over by Vice Admiral| Burrage | SR | Washington (P—Like the Mem- | phis, whose place she is taking as flagship of Vice Admiral Guy H. Burrage, commander-in-chlef of the American naval squadron in Europ- ean waters, the light cruiser Detroit is identified with an outstanding | event in aeronautical history. \ The Memphis had one of the fastest trips ever made by a war- ship across the Atlantic, in bring- | ing Col. Charles A. Lindbergh home. The Detroit acted as station ship for the ZR-3, now the dirigible | Los Angeles, when she made her | transatlantic flight from Frederich- | | shaten, Germany, to Lakehurst 3. From a station in mid-Atlantic, | she kept the dirigible advised of | weather conditions and enabled her crew to steer clear of storms. | Sister ships, the Memphis and | | Detroit are among the ten 7,500~ | | ton cruisers built by the United ' States since the World War. The new flagship is the fourth cruiser | | to bear the name of Detroit | first was a 400-ton, 19-gur ship cap- | | tured from the British at the Bat- | tle of Lake Erfe by Commodore O. | |H. Perry, and later sold. A crew steamer of 1,380 tons and armed | with 12 guns was its successor. Con- struction was begun and it was named about the time the Civil War | ended, but it was not completed. | The third naval vessel to! bear the Michigan city's name was |a protected cruiser of 2,072 tons | | which took part in the Spanish- | American war. It was stricken from the navy list in 1910, and sold |a year later. | —_— | | Wind Insurance Now Is | 'Being Made Imperative ‘ WINDSOR CREPE COLORED CREPE GOWNS BLOOMERS Made of beautiful figured Reinforced seat, elastic at crepe.
