By Joseph H. Baird (United Press Aviation Editor) Washlnton, May 14, — (UP) If either of two all-metal airships under construction—one by the Navy dh Detroit and another on the Pacific coast by private Interests,—prove practical Roger Bacon, famed English philosopher of the 13th century, certainly will find some way to send an '1 told you so” message by a spirit code. For It was Roger himself who, in one of his scientific treaties, said it was entirely practicable to “build large hallow globes of copper or other suitable material, filled with ethereal air or liquid fire" which could float in the air like a vessel on the water. Bason contended further that "these things were done in ancient times." Scientists throughout the middle ages played with the idea of airship construction, some advocating metal and others light wood for the gasbag. Deodato Francesco Giosaffo Lana, a Jusuit priest who lived in the 17th Century, wrote voluminously on the abject of airship construction He proposed a craft comprising four thin copper globes exhausted of air. connected by four ties, a boat shaped car, with masts, sails and oars for propulsion. He went on to describe how air could be exhausted from the containers. in 1843 Marey Monge actually built a metal gas envelope, but it leaked and was not able to rise. The rigid ship idea was carried to practical success by Count Zeppelin in Germany. He however, gave up the Baconian idea of a solid metal bag and employed a lighter metal frame covered with cloth. The two present projects of American interests mark the first efforts here to build all-metal ships. If practical aviators believe, they will possess, many advantages over their frailer predecessors. But many airmen, particularly in the Navy, view the new projects with a skeptical "how me attitude. The rapid growth of aviation in America during the past year is clearly shown by comparative statistics just made public by the Aeronautics Bureau of the Commerce Department. These figures reflect a phenomenal growth in the nmber of airlines operating, completed airways, mail carried, and miles of airways in operation. At the end of 1927, there were 23 airlines operating in the United States. On Dec. 31, 1929, these had increased to 63, —nearly tripling. The number of airways has risen from 22 to 47. Year before last, 1,654.165 pounds of mail were carried, compared with 4,061,481 in 1928. The length

of airways Increased from 9,121 to 16,667 miles during the same period. The Czechoslovak Air Traffic Company has followed the lead of air-lines in Germany and Austria by issuing I life insurance policies worth $5,920 along with, and included in the price of their tickets. — Everyone knows the business man i uses air-mail to speed important correspondence. But do his wife and I 'laughter follow his lead in their so- ■ dal exchanges? A recent survey of the I traffic department of the National Air Transport reveals they do. For instance, 65.6 per cent of all air-mail . carried from Brooklyn, N. Y.. is social • correspondence. The ratio for other . cities is lower. A few examples, New , York City 24 per cent; Dallas Tex., I 22.3; Tulsa, Okla., 43.4; Kansas City Mo., 40; and Newark, N. J.. 35. Cooling of airplane engines, whirling at thousands of revolutions per niinute, has provided one of aviation's knottiest problems. That it has been partly solved is indicated by recent tests at Mitchell Field L. 1., when two planes of the same type, one using water in its radiator, and the other a new cooling fluid, known technically as ethylene glycol, engaged in speed tests. The plane using the cooling fhiit easily outsped the other. Only four and one-half gallons of the , fluid are necessary in radiators ordinarily requiring 188 gallons of water, , it is stated. It is also claimed the new cooling agent adds 100 potential horsepower to engines and permits a reduction in radiator size. It was developed by Curtis and Army Air Corps , engineers. ——o MONROE NEWS Miss Mardell Hocker ha.s returned to her home after spending several days with friends at Danville, Ind.

In a week I was feeling like a man made over. lam going on with Konjola. If a medicine can do all this in one week what will it do in several more?"
