The Wichita factories produce all Ivp es of planes except the giant trimotor. Luxurious cabin monoplanes and biplanes, swift little two-eaters, air mail craft-all are manufactured here. Incidentally, Wichita boasts the old est commercial airplane company in the United States, the Swallow firm. But the factories, important as they are, are only a part of the industry here. There are two motor companies; the Wichita Blue Streak Motor company ami the Quick Air Motors. The latter company lias erected a factory, and production of five motors a day is scheduled, it will have an annual turnover of more than 14.000,000. A propeller company, transportation services, repair shop and flying schools also are centered here. Wichita offers six landing fields; the municipal airport, the "California section,” soon to be made the city's landing field, Cessna field. Swift field, Swallow field, and Stearman field. A recent survey of the industry shows that today 841 men and women are employed in Wichita’s airplane factories, as compared to only 42 at the same time last year. That is exclusive of the number employed in other lines of the air business. Another important phase of aeronautics in Wichita is the four-year intensive aeronautical course offered by the University of Wichita, instructors are taken from the School's faculty, plane factories here, and from the army flying corps at Marshal Field.

LACK OF SIGHT AH ADVANTAGE. REPORTERSAYS • Boise, Idaho, Sept 20-CU.R) Bramwell Peek, news reporter on the Cache Valley Herald, Logan, Utah, has been blind fur 15 years. Yet. each day he covers u downtown news run, recognizes the people he wishes to interview by the sound of their voices, questions them, and returns alone to his office to write the stories lie gathers on a typewriter. Peck walks through crowds with : ease, crosses traffic-streets with confidence, depending solely on his hear- J ing for safety. His employer, Leslie T. Foy owner of the Herald, describes him as one of his most efficient men. Foy found Peek doing publicity work in Idaho and watched him long enough to satisfy himself that the man was a g od reporter. Foy points out many instances of seemingly uncanny faculties Peck lias developed to replace his orderly and free from errors, his employer says. Telling of his work, Peck said. "My memory serves me well. A good deal of my work is done over the telephone. I believe I can remember every telephone number I have ever called. “In the morning," he continued, “It is convenient to call many persons to get the trend of the news. Afterwards 1 go on the streets, stepping into this place or that, finding out through conversation what local and personal items are available.” Peck tells of his day's work with a simplicity that seems to place him on the ordinary level, although to persons with perfect vision he is considered a marvel. “It is my opinion," Peck said, “that I have an advantage. I can ask questions without appearing ridiculous and since 1 do not see people are always ready to explain even the most minute detail. "Walking about the streets does not

bother me. T go wherever I hear of news. Reporting is one of the most delightful things I ever attempted." —o — * HOSPITAL NOTES * sC¥¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥«) Florence and John McConnell, child- | ren of Mi. and Mrs. Joe MeConne) 828 North Third street, had their tonsils removed, at the Adams County Mem.rial hospital.
