AERONAUTICS AGE” IS DAWNING IN UNITED STATES, SAYS YOUNG; SEES GREAT ADVANCEMENT IN AVIATION

By Robert 8. Thornburgh . (INS Staff Correspondent) Washington, Noe. 22. — The “areonautics age” is dawning in United States. In the near future thousands of luxuriously equipped airplanes will travel on schedule over charted and illuminated air route. Airplanes taxis will await the call of tired out busy business men. Private aircraft, safe as automobiles, will sweep the skies. Paints Remarkable Picture Painting this remarkable picture of aeronautics of the near future, Clarence M. Young, director of aeronautics of the commerce department, todaydeclared if at first laggard in development of aerial navigation, the country now is moving ahead at top speed to build one of the world’s finest “commercial air marines.” High points in Young's official report to Secretary of Commerce Hoover include: “Airpiane construction in the year just closed in this country was valued at more than $20,000,000, a sixty per cent gafti over 1925. “Airplanes of new design are replacing the war surplus type, which have been doing service up to the present. “New air routes are being charted in all parts of the country: cities vie Butler Not To Play DePauw, Wabash In 1928 Indianapolis, Nov. 22—(UP)—Butler University will not play Depauw University and Wabash college in football next year, George “Potsy” Clark, Butler athletic director, announced today after a final attempt to reconcile the difference with the two schools had failed. Clark made his announcement upon returning from a conference at Crawfordsville with W. D. Hughes. Depauw athletic director, and Harr Schooler, Wabash athletic director. Hughes and Schooler were unable to come to terms with Clark over the 192 S and 1929 schedules. Clark said they presented demands that Butler [day Wabash in Crawfordsvilb- in 1928 and Depauw in Greencastle in 1929 to which he was not willing to agree. o Blame Catholic Plotters For Attack On Obregon Mexico City, Nov. 22 —(UP) ■' atholic plotters were blamed for the attempted bombing assassination of General Alvaro Obregon on Sunday, November 13, in a police statement issued in connection with three additional arrests of suspects.

with each other in the construction of improved air ports. “"t is estimated that by the end of 1928 a thousand airports will be in operation, a large percentage municipal. "Numerous cities and inwns are becoming 'ail-marked,' one company alone having painted city names on more than 4,000 of its stations.” On June 30, there were 4,121 miles of lighted airways in operation. The commerce department will continue as rapidly as possible to light the airways, since the economical use of aircraft demands flying at night and in all vicissitudes of weather and season. Commercial airplanes were being put into service at the rate of 100 a month at the beginning of the new fiscal year. Two hundred physicians are examining pilots, while a force of fifty /-xperienqgd engine inspectors is being built up by the department. The bureau of standards has started a study of methods of reducing air plane noises, strength of airplane joints and fittings and the stability of planes of different types. Many new radio aeronautics problems are on the program, to supplement progress already made In the investigtaion of radiotelephony, directive radio bea.--ons and beacon markets.
