1328 TO BRING IN EPIDEMIC IN OCEANICFUtHTS \ext Year’s Attempts To Be ‘ Better Prepared For Difficult Trips International News Service) Cleveland, O„ Dec. 10.—Glenn L. iiin Cleveland aircraft manufacr,.r has voiced the belief that the "orhi will see an epidemic of long * Wan ce and t nwis-ocennic flights next year. I \li. Martin, back from Washington .here he had been conferring with Lernnient authorities concerning construction of navy planes, declared that if the number of inquiries being received by the meteorological denirtnient and other branches of gov-, emment service were any indication, there would be at least 50 long (list- i nnt flights attempted next year. “ xext year's flights will receive more preparation than the ones made or attempted this year,” Martin said. "The pilots are getting set 11I)W . This is a hopeful sign." Paris to Cleveland In this connection it was recalled that the $25,000 offer of the Cleve-! land Chamber of Commerce for the , first non-stop flight from Paris to Cleveland still stands. An attempt to win this prize will undoubtedly be made next summer, as European flyers are just as anxious to make new records as American flyers. ' There are also indications, Martin ] said, that large amounts of capital i will be invested next year both in the manufacture And commercial operation of aircraft. I •‘The manufacture of aircraft appeals to many as very attractive,' both as an art and as a business," he said. "Unfortunately a great number of those who are planning to manufacture aircraft do not realize, perhaps, that it requires very exact and hard work and a tremendous amount of attention to details. New Navy h’lanes "A realization of these things may cause some prospective manufacturers of aircraft to change their minds about the attractiveness of the business, and some of them may lose money at it before they get through, but nothing can stop the manufacture of aircraft from becoming one of the great industries' of the country.” | Martin has an order for 100 allmetal. three purpose planes or the navy. The first plane js. scheduled , to bo assembled March 1. On a previous order from the navy the Martin factory were turning out five planes a week this fall —. — Dodge Brothers, Inc., Announces Reorganization Os Service School Course of Study For Dealers’ Service Men Broadened to Include Instruction for Servicing New Senior Line —Has Trained Thousands of Men In Recent Years. To maintain and improve the high Quality of service to owners for which 1 Dodge Brothers’ dealer organization has become so well ksown throughout the country, the factory has completely reorganized its training school for service managers and service men. The school has been in existenee for several years, giving a comprehensive course in servicing Dodge Brothers four cylinder cars which has been ta-i ken by thousands of service men from all parts of the country. The reorganized course of study includes, in addition to the former instruction on four cylinder cars, detailed study of the company's Senior line. The school is modern in every respect and the instructors in charge. are specially trained service engineers who know the proper method of per j forming every mechanical detail of service on both lines of cars. The training course now includes instruction on servicing motor, clutch, transmission, universal joint, front and rear axles, steering gear brakes ami other mechanical features. All major Parts are on display in the room as well as tvyo cutaway chassis. With the latest and most efficient tools for both the four and the Senior at hand the students and instructors go | through all service operations, giving the students a chance to see how each is performed. A number of the more modern and highly efficient shop tools that Dodge Brothers recommend are shown and by actual demonstratiqn the proper method to use them is fully explained. 1 Already approximately 100 service men have come in to the factory to go through the new course of study and during the next few weeks it is expected that many dealers from all over the country will send their men to Detroit to take the course of instruction. In addition to the service school Dodge Brothers maintains field ser-, vice men all over< the country whoso sole work is to maintain contact w, n dealers’ service departments and keep them informed on the most, up-to-date methods of servicing Dodge Brothers cars. Each of these traveling representatives is a trained service engineer whose work in his particular territory supplements-that of the factory's service school.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1927.

NEBRASKA WILL OFFER UP THREE FAVORITE SONS One Republican And Two Democrats To Be Placed In 1928 Race 'By International Nows Service) Lincoln. Neb., Dee. 10—Political maneuvering looking toward both the democratic and republican national conventions next year is well under way in Nebraska with assurances that the names of at least, three "favorite sons" will be on the presidential preference ballot at the state primary next April. They will be the names of Senator George W. Norris (II), former Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, (D). uid Charles \V. Bryan (ID. The last named was the Democratic nominee for vice-president three years ago. Os these candidacies, however only that of Senator Norris is considered as being aimed directly at the presidential nomination next year. The Norris boom has gained considerable momentum throughout the middle-west, having the support of the insurgent group of the senate with Senator Borah as the power be hind the projectile. Support For Norris As for Nebraska it generally con ceded that any Republican delegation , to the national convention that it ' selected will give Norris its support so long as there is a chance of hin

being nominated. This, in spite of 1 ' the fact that Governor Adam McMullen, has taken the lead in the state f(.r Lowden, and has announced his intention of being a qandidate ' for delegate-at-large witli the idea in ' mind of holding the whip hand over the Nebraska delegation. 1 As for Bryan and Hitchcock, their ' candidacies on the Democratic ticket are practically admitted to be for tho • purpos( only of controlling the state - delegation. Bryan supporters see in ,• the Hitchcock candidacy an effort to - swing this state in lina for Governor 1 Al Smith of New York, a move which I if made out in the open would likely meet with defeat in that state. In I .- tlie first place. Nebraska is admitted- I n ly dry. and in the second place, the I . religious issue would not likely re- I ij act favorably to Governor Smith. I Bi van. and his followers who have I e proved to be numerous on many | ,’ i evasions, are opposed ' to the nomination of Smith. They | s have not given any indication, however, as to whom their favorite j , shall be. On the other hand, Hitchcock commands a large personal following tilled with the conviction that Hitchcock would be a logical selection for Democratic presidential iwnors. It " is said to be their opinion that he is II progressive enough to suit the west, ■ and at the same time, being a support r of Smith, would be apt to attract a huge per cent of the eastern delegations in ease Smith should lose out. Petitions have been filed with tlie secretary of state asking that tlie
