UNITED STATES I FOREMOST IN AR Past Year Has Seen Great Developments ‘Washington, Nov. 20.—A pheno- menal record of progress in all| branches of American aviation is revealed in the annual report of Major Clarence M. Young, Director of the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce, which was made public today. The growth of air commerce and the air craft industry of the United States, Ma- | jor Young believes, is due in no| small measure to the strict enforce- ment of federal regulations which has inspired public confidence in the safety of air transport During 1927 American factories produced nearly 2,000 aircraft hav- ing a total value of $14,250,000 as compared with less than 1,200 val, ued at $8,870,000 during the preced- ing year. Exports of aircraft and parts during 1927 amounted to $2,000,000, an increase of ap- proximately §5 per cent over 1326 During the first half of the current vear our total sales in foreign mar- kets of aircraft products —wer per cent greater than the entire shipments of last year. Air-transport, Major Young de- clares, has now attained a definit place in the economic scheme of transportation. The established air- way system is the backbone of our | commercial aviation, although oper- ations over this network form only one-tenth of all civil flving. These routes now cover 11,191 mules on | which 27,817 m are flown daily. | Of these, 10,386 miles are under mail contract and 200 mail plan fly 23,224 miles daily over routes. There are now 5,380 miles lighted, 1,800 miles under contract | for night flying, and 5,308 addition- | al miles considered for lighting dnr- ing the fiscal year 1929. The actually conmected by the rout | the close of the fiscal vear Rum- | bered 88, the trading areas served | containing $0 million people. By the close of the current fiscal year it is believed that almost all of the larg- er cities and many of the middle- sized communities will be connected by air routes and that smaller feed- er fines will serve many outlying cities. Communication th citie to aircraft in flight along the transcontinental route, the report states, will be available within a short time. Ra- dio equipment is under construction for replacing obsolete apparatus now in use. The new apparatus will provide radio-telephone or radio- telegrah communication as may be required on frequencies between 100 and 500 kilocycles. Considerable research and testing work was conducted hy the Burcau of Standards for the Aeronautics Branch during the period under re- view. These investigations embraced radio aids to navigation, lighting of airways, sound proofing of airplane cabins, airplane control tests, and tests of commercial aircraft en- gines. Approximately 600 airplanes are being built in American factories ecach month which have to be in-| spected as to their airworthiness. It is obvious, Major Young states, that a very efficient organization of the inspection section is essential in or- der to carry out the work involved. To this end, factory inspectors are being employed and trained as rapid- ly as possible for the purpose of in- specting and licepsing “new produc- tion” airplanes at the time they leave the factory. This, it is point- ed out, will aid the industry by fa- cilitating the issuance of licenses in the first instance, although these planes will still require periodical reinspection by the field personnel of the department. | street | Greelk ROBERST PRENDERGAST onn.

By June 30 last applications were on file for over: 5,500 pilots and 5,000 mechanics which was about three times the number on file on the cor- responding date the previous year. On June 30, over 4,700 applications | had been received for licensing air- | planes as compared with 1.100 at the | end of the 1927 fiscal period. Up to | June 30 last, licenses had been is- | 3,000 mechanics and 2,000 airplanes In addition, 4.000 appli students’ permits have been filed. In order to pass on the qualifica- tions of these applicants, the bu- reau maintains 40 inspectors in th field. As the work of these inspee tors is almost entirely at airports | oificial airplanes can he utilized with | great saving of time and a corre- | sponding merease of efficiency. Un- | fortupately, the report shows, there | are but 14 planes of modern de-| sign available for their use. Funds are avaflable for the purchase of five more but cven with this addi tional number of airplanes the toial | will be about one-third of the num- ber essential to the most efficient | performance of inspection duties. Referring to the enforcement of regulations the report shows that during the past fiscal year there °4 violations, resulting in €5 s ents of the civil penalty, 121 reprimands, 22 suspensions, 2 revo- cations, and 5 demials of Llicensas. Tha viclations consisted of acrobatics | | congested areas,'fiying licensed air- | © craft without a pilot's license, flying aft with no identification num- without | airc bers displayed and flying navigation lights. Among the interesting develop- ments of the past fiscal year cited by Major Young in his report was the creation of an accident board within his organization to investigate with the view to determining and eliminating their causes. This board is compos- «d of two experienced pilots, a flight and an aeronautical engineer. A careful analysis of accidents is made and a percentage valuation assigned to contributory causes. This method, it is declared, will provide statistics to show the exact causes of accidents and point the way to their elimina- tion. It will also provide a valuable index to those portions of the air commerce regulations regarding both personnel and material that may be unnecessarily severe, or where high- er safety standards are requisite and more exacting and specific regula- tions must be imposed. “MR.

Her first answer was a question: “Instead of telling you my opin- jon regarding the modern type of woman, I should like to ask this: Does there really exis{ any modern woman type?” Then she continued: “The type of woman of the past was developed during centuries of constraint and strict supervision. 8he could when at her best with regard to goodness, forsaking tenderness, and with regard to graceful appear- ance be said to have reached al- most perfection. “The type of today, that ene which is now being developed under a far greater liberty, is a queen who is herself responsible for her behavior and her doings. 8he may be yet only a creation in being. To be just one ought to let her grow in peace, neither criticizing nor blaming her. “We old people only wish for her that she may become all the glorious woman that we hoped she would when we provided her with her free- dom.” Has Dearest Wish Miss Lagerioef's dearest wish has been fulfilled when she celebrated the seventieth anniversary of her birth. S8he had regained Maardacka the ancient home of her family, re- stored it and made it her home once more. Miss Lagerloef was a school mis- tress with a salary of 1,000 kroner (about $285) a year more than fifty years ago when her family was forc- ed to Sell Maardacka. She had pub- lished only a few verses. When told about the sale, Mias Lagerloef said, “I raised my hands and called to Heaven to witness that from that moment my one longing object of all my striving, would be to regain the home of my fore- fathers.” { Goesta Berlings Saga was publish- ed in part'in 8 weekly paper and woa the highest prize in a competition conducted by the paper. The book, which is & collection of stories of the life of her native Vermland in the year 1830, was published in Sweden in 1891 and was translated into English in 1898, In 1895 after the publication of liga Laenkar (Invisible Links) she was able to devote he It en- tirely to writing and the of returning to her ancestral he lin. gered in her heart, and ghe finally accomplished this derire. Waom Nobel Prise , In 1909 Miss Lagerioef won the Nobel prize for literature and five years later she was elocted the first woman member of the Swedish academy. Asked how she liked to sit in the 8wedish acamedy, Miss Lagerloef said, “T only took part in a couple of sessions last year and I had noth- ing to say. I have no influence but it is very amusing to sit with all these men in the academy. “I thought,” said the interviewer, “that you, as the only woman, could be resisted by no one when you had a wish." “‘Oh yes,” Miss Lagerloef replied. “I was during many years of the opinion that Georg Brandes should get the Nobel prize. I found that he deserved it and that it would be an honor for the Nobel prize if he had been awarded it. But it was all in vain.” Asked what prevented the award to the Danish literary critic who died last year, Miss Lagerloef said: “That I cannot say. But you see there were so many bishops. I do not mean the archbishop, Dr. Na- than Soederblom. He is a wise man who understood very well the great importance of the works of Georg Braldes although Brandes fought religion. Yet Brandes' last book, aut his not to be real. could have written th: am convinced Christ lived on earth.” Pale beige, soft greys or black are new street gloves for daytime wear.
