aroundworld ■ FLIGHT TO WAIT better planes Aviation Leaders To Work ‘ To Make Planes Equal To Present Motors By J. U Meddoff. (I N S. Staff Correspondent) Xew York. July 16 —An aroundtb p-world flight with nary a atop may be just around the corner of time but It must 1 wait until the building of planes for such a superhuman effort becomes as far advanced as the congtructiou of motors. This formed the consensus In leading aviation circles today in the wake ot the recent non-top trans-Atlantic and trans-Paciflc flights. Whatever else these epochal flights may have disclosed, one fact was forcibly brought out which the technical men concerned with aviation deem of paramount importance—the planning and building of motors approximates perfection. Motors Dependable Heretofore the average person regarded an airplane trip with mingled feelings of misgiving, and Che fear of a stalled engine hundreds or thousands of feet in the ether was foremost. Airplane engines were viewed somewhat in the same light as prima donnas—too tempermental to get familiar with. But the trans-ocean flights, topped by the remarkable performance of the three motors in the America which functioned perfectly on Commander Richard E. Byrd's memorable trip, have virtually dispelled this trepidation from the mind of the average person. With the experience gained in building airplane motors in the years since the Wright brothers electrified the world with their heavier-than-air flying machine, engineers have been educated to a point where today they make them almost fool-proof. It took the recent cross-ocean flights, however- to impress upon a skeptical public how far motors have been developed.

Remarkable Progress Even those closely identified with 'aviation, aware of the remarkable progress made in this respect, Were at least mildly surprised by the performance of America's motors. For approximately 43 hours through the most discouraging weather conditions, the three engines popped away steadily, never faltering once until a shortage of fuel made a forced landing necessary. And therein lies the problem in an around-theworld non-stop flight —a plane so built as io carry sufficient fuel for such an effort. The motors used in each of the trans-ocean flights were good for 10b hours, on a conservative basis, without ned of mechanical attention, according to experienced engineers. And 100 hours at the rate of 100 miles an honr would take a plane 10,000 miles. Today it has been proved that motors have practically been made safe enough for a non-stop flight around the world. But aviation must await the planning of a ship capable of carrying enough fuel for such a breath-taking attempt. o 1927 “Hymn Os Hate” Is Russia’s Gift To England London (United Press) —A copy of Russia's “Hymn of Hate" has reached England.

NEW Essex Super-six cars—■ larger, finer, anti more powerful are announced by Ihe Hudson Motor Car Co. They are now on display at the P. Kirsch & Son salesroom, north 2nd street, Hudson-Essex dealers. This unexpected .announcement embodies one of the dramatic automobile stories of the year. Since the Essex Super-six was first introduced this year the demand has teen continuously ahead of the number which Hudson could maniufacture, notwithstanding the largest schedule of cars in its history . was steadily maintained. Most companies would have been more than content with such remarkable business, but the Hud-son-Essex organization decided both to improve the Essex still further and to enlarge the production facilities. To accomplish this Essex production was suspended while there I were actually thousands of buyers | waiting for cars. This drastic action gave full right-of-way to the improved cars, which are now Iteing shipped at the highest rate by far in Hudson history. MOTOR IS LARGER The improvements in the new i Essex affect both its performing ability and its appearance. The motor is improved in detail and is enlarged in displacement by about 10 per cent. This is accomplished by adding one-quarter inch to the stroke, he new dimensions being 2 11-16 by

Man Who Murdered His Father Gets Latter’s Estate Worth $112,000 Richmond. Ind., July 16. —(INS) — Charles Westcott, serving a life sentence in California state prison for the murder of his father, nevertheless Is entitled to an estate of $112,000, which the father left, according to the decision of Judge G. H. Hoelscher of Wayne circuit court. Westcott killed his father in a Los Angeles hotel. John M. Westcott, father of the slain man, had left an estate to him, with a stipulation that while a monthly stipend was to be paid the grandsome during the life of the son. the balance was to go to the present Westcott at his father’s death. The court ruled that, since the bequest was not made by the father, but by the grandfather, the will must not be broken. The case was the result of friendly suit by two chidlren of Charles Westcott, to find out whether or not they inherited the estate instead of him. because of the parricide.

4 1-2 inches. The crank shaft is larger and heavier, the connecting -rods re-designed, and the bearings enlarged to care for the additional power loads. Experimental runs in the new Essex have shown it capable both of higher speed and of improved performance throughout its entire range. Maximum speed is now well above a mile-a-minute, while the company continues its assurances that the car may be safely driven at 50 miles an [hour all day long. Even at its best performance, the motor operates smoothly and without apparent effort. The Essex motor retains its essential high-grade items; aluminum pistons, all connecting rods balanced, a crank shaft built under Hudson Super six principles, roller tappets, front end drive by silent chain, highly developed splash lubrication, etc. PLEASING CURVED LINES The new bodies are more attractive throughout. The rear quarters of all enclosed cars —the coupe, the coach and sedan —are rounded in pleasing curves. All these cars, too, are painted in duotones. Mouldings and window reveals are employed as decorative features. The wheels are an inch smaller, setting the whole car closer to the around. Road clearance, however, is not affected, because of a change in the rear axle design. Large sized tires give the whole half of the car a remarkably trim and rugged appearance. Upholstery is in fabrics of richer design and material than

Ned Hogan, Laborite, who recently led his party into office, stands 6 ft. 5% inches in his socks and a fine thatch of curly hair adds a couple of inches to that height. Like most Labor premiers who have held office in the various Australian states at different times, Hogan worked his own way from the bottom rung of the ladder. At 12 he left school and drove a team of horses on his father’s farm, while even before that age he had done a man’s work in the fields. At 19, Hogan left for the goldfields of western Australia and was a lumber jack. There he started out on his political career as spokesman for workers in disputes with employers. He also gained the reputation at athletic meetings there of being the

ever before used in Essex cars. All enclosed cars have dome light, door pocket, rear vision mirror, window curtains, transmission anti-theft lock, and all instruments grouped under glass and indirectly lighted. An interesting advancement has been made in the seating arrangement of the coach. The right front seat is mounted on a ‘mechanism which allows it to slide forward far enough so that passengers in the rear seat can leave or enter the car without disturbing the front seat rider. The action of this new device 1 is entirely simple and positive. and adds decidedly to the convenience of the coach-type enclosed car. The coupe is finished optionally in leather for business purposes. NEW CAR DETAILS List prices of the new cars, f.o.b.

He is reputed to have no extreme tendencies, such as were said to animflte Premier John T. Lang of New South Wales after he assumed control. If Hogan does develop them, he will have a hard curb put on him, for his party, though the largest in the state legislative assembly, has no absolute majority and can only govern with the help of three or four independents, who will certainly turn opponents should Hogan head towards extremism. —_ O Sweets Attract Moth London (United Press) Few human beings have such a sweet-tooth as moths, says W.

679 Radio Broadcast Stations In United States Take Up All The Room In The Air

Washington, July 16 With 697 radio broadcasting stations on the air and interference still giving the listeners considerable trouble, the Federal Radio Commission lias started a new campaign to encourage the consolidation of existing stations. Virtually prevented from refusing licenses ot existing stations which meet the requirements of the law through the Impairment, of property rights, the commission sees no solution but to bring about a reduction of broadcasters through some unofficial means. in addition to the existing stations more than 300 applications for new licenses are on file. The commission must, consider these applications despite the fact that the 89 available wave lengths are so crowded to overflowing. This consideration will start in August when members of the commission return to Washington after a nation wide survey of the radio situation. New Stations The commisison anticipates that many of the applicants can make deals with others contemplating erection of new stations for consolidations. Commissioner If. A. Bellows suggested that the commission would permit the use of several call letters for any station. Thus the expenses of maintenance could be divided among several owners, which would get the benefit of the advertising arising from operation, without overcrowding the air. Officials said that there is some tendency in the direction of consolidation although as yet the movement has not taken sufficient momentum to be the means of material assistance in eliminating interference. • Applicants for licenses to operate new stations have been sent the following letter by the commission:

"As you must be aware, there Is already a’ great shortage of radio channels in every section of the country, with the consequent improbability of securing adequate channels I for a now station when, finished. The commissioners are, in each case, recommending that persons contemplating building u new station, first investigate the j/yssild 1 Ity of utilizing time on some existing local or nearby station. "Considerable economy can be effected by renting time from or purchasing an Interest in, an existing station, as compared with building a new one.
