THURSDAY, M i ZaX ARCH 25, 1920 ~ Joy Rides in the Clouds! ~ Possibilities for the Aero Unlimited, Says Handley Page Famous English Aeronautic Designer Believes the New) York Business Man Will Soon Be Commuting to Chicago in Safely Shipped by Air in England. By Fay Stevenson Copyright, 1920, by Teo Press Publishing Co, “ 1LL the airplane ever be- come popular as the fivver? “Shall we see papa and mamma and litle Willie out ‘joy riding’ in the claude?” “Shall we see business men and wemen jumping into their individual alr-flivvers to fly to their destinations both+morning and night?’ I pat these questions*to Mr. Hand- ley Page, the English aeronautic de- sagner, manufacturer and inventor of the famous airplane which bears his name, who has just arrived from Canada to deliver a series of lectures in New York on “Commercial Avia- tion, Its Development Since the War and Its Scope In the Future.” “This is an age chiefly for the com- mercial airplane," said Mr. Page, in answer to my queries. “No doubt a number of people will take up the airplane as a pleasure maohine, just as they have taken up autos and yachts, but I doubt if they ever can use them to and from bisiness in the same sense as the flivver.” “Then it ts the business men who are separated by long distances that ure going to feel the advantage of the airplane, rather than those in and around the city?" | asked. ‘Yes, the influence gf air transport is going to be enormous in the world's development, especially in the United States, where there are such great distances,” replied Mn Page. ‘Dis- tances are measuréd generally by the time it takes to go from one point to another. The distance of 1,000 miles between New York and makes no impression on a business man; he knows only the twenty hours by train, By airplane the two cities would be seven or eight hours apart, which would thus move the Western city in point of time to the position of Syracuse by rail. In the years to come, London will be as close to New York as Edinburgh was from London 100 years “The millions which have been pent in every country in air develop- ment have made this great progress possible, and aircraft movement is exceedingly fortunate in the fact that amid the great suffering caused by the war the aircraft industry has reached a point of development which it could not have obtained by years of normal peaceful achievement. We must consider the provision of flying fields and emergency landing grounds along an air route, the setting up of weather bureaus with a good staff of men able to forecast tho weather, the provision of wireless communication— ‘all that is essential if the air route is te be organized and satisfactorily maintained, “In Europe this work was a neces- sity for satisfactory military opera- tidn. Of this development we in Eng- lang have been able to take advan- tage, and with the groundwork avail- able, and large machines converted from war purposes to those of peace, it was easy to start services. The re- sults bave been very satisfactory. “Although we have been operating onty during the winter months, for flying outside England was not per- mitted before Sept. 1, 1919, we have flown no less than 82,428 miles, have carried 4,201 passengers and 49,457 pounds of freight without injury to a single passenger or loss of a pound of freight. That is a record which can surely challenge any other means of transportation. I understand that in this city alone over 1,500 people lost their lives in automobile accidents on the streets. These records show what can be done even with a new, impro- Vised service organized quickly on the coming of peace. “Commerce in America bas been so speeded up that new methods are now required to take full advantage of the work that has to be done, The air- plane provides the means for which we all look. In Kurope it has been taken advantage of by commercia’ travellers desirous of concluding quick deals and by export and import houses requiring the quick delivery of godds. Especially has it been patron ized by those who desire to se across Valuable pictures or china, as there is less chance of these being) broken by travel in air than by the reagh handling which bas been the mse on the railroad and steamship weevices of Great Britain.

YMINENT business man da friend of long years’ standing. They had always enjoyed each other "socially andthe families of both were very cordial But to-day the whole situation | A is changed. | They are friends mo longer. In | a f°) truth, they are 1k ere Come almost enemies, {and are not even on speaking terms. All becassse of a little business deal. ‘This business man, Mr. A., told me the story of how his friend came to him with a proposition that he, A., was rather reluctant about and did not want to take up. But because it was his old, old friend he went into it, putting up his equal share of money and responsibility, Now it seems the matter turned out somewhat disgstrously and Mr. A. was as much the loser as his friend. But the friend seemed to think that the entire blame belonged to Mr. A. because in some given cir- cumstances he hadn't acted just as the friend might have done. Mr. A. pointed out to me that if he had acted in that way they would have lost more, but he could not make his friend see it, ‘The dis- cussion brought on a quarrel, which assumed proportions as the days went by until the whole thing be- came hopeless, and the good old friends were far apart indeed. “Now, that isn't the worst of it,” said Mr. A. “I don't mind the loss, and I don't mind his blaming me, but I do feel bad. at losing my good old friend, We had so many things in common that I really tooked for- ward always to secing bim, I just can't realize how he can be so unkind and unreasonable, “But I guess it can't be helped,” he added with a sigh, “I know if we hadn't had this business stuff we} would have been friends to the end of | our days. It has taught me a les- son I'll never forget,” he concluded. ‘There are thousands of instances to bear this out, It is usually bad judg- ment to go into any kind of an en- terprise where there is hazard with @ friend whom you have known only socially. How many hundreds of friends have signed their names to the notes of their friends and have lost them, as well as the money. I once wrote a definition of a friend asone who refuses to sign your note because he wants to remain your friend. I knew @ man who carried such a noté along for a number of years te help 4 comrade, and when that com- |rade became more proaperous he grew very angry at his friend who |dared to ask him to pay it, | While I do not mean that you can- not do kind things for your friends, even In a commercial way, and stttl | remain friend yet as a general prop- | osition, many such business relations | have proved so disastrous as to war- |rant very careful consideration fore arranging them. ‘The safest way is to have the boentie being sociable, Can You t 1990, by Tee Pres Publishing Ce.
