"Tear eno reviews of world events -

By Joseph 11 Baird, I tilted Press Aviation Editor Washington. Dec. 28,—(UJ>)- Although extremely busy exchanging Us spangled circus wardrobe for the Irock-coat of a big business, aviation found time during 1929 for a few halr-rnising stunts. While bankers hauled out their gold lings to build airplane factories and Unde Sam spent millions lighting and mapping the nation's sky-roads, aviation’s stellar performers were devising new exploits. Two planes spanned the Atlantic irom west to east during the year. The Graf Zeppelin, settling a new mark for lighter-than-air ships, encircled Mother Earth's ample waist. Ami a young navy flier went highher in an airplane than anyone ever had. Early January found two Army pllo s. Major Carl Spatz ami Capt. Im <’. B ktr. in the monoplane ■Question Murk." Aloft over Los Angelis, they were trying to remain longer in the air than any man before them. When, on Jan uary 7, they alighted at l.os Angeles airport they had been up 150 hous, 40 minutes, and 15 seconds. During its sojourn of nearly a week in the air. their plane, powered by three Wright Whirlwinds, was refueled 36 times The War Department bailed their feat as a proof that refueling was feasible. Soucek's Record Tlie aviation world, in its more spectacular phases, was fairly quiet until May 8. Then, on a clear spring day, Lieut. Apollo Soucek, I S N.. hopped in his Wright Appaehe plane at Anacostia Naval Air Station to rise high from the earth. His little ship, equipped with a super • charger, became a mere speck high above the Potomac. When, one hour and 24 minutes later, Soucek again touched earth, his barograph registered more than 10,000 feet. Bureau of Standards test showed a true reading of 39,140 feet a world's altitude record. Later, on May 26, thousands of Washington officials s.ood along the banks of the Potomac as an even two dozen planes rose to contend for the Curtis Marine Trophy. Ikimm'ng low over the river, Lieut. W. G. Tomlinson, U. S. N., flying a Curtiss Hawk, crossed the line, victorious. His average speed was 162.52 miles per hour. Summer came, and on June 13, the Yellow Bird, a Bernard monoplane powered by a 12-cylinder Hispana-Suiza, took off from Old > .-ha. .1. Me., for Le Bourget field, Paris In her cockpit were three Europeans Jean Assolant, Rene Eef »vre and Armento Lotti, Jr There was also an American stowaway, young Schrecher. After cov•ting 3,128 miles they arrived at Comillas, Spain, their fuel exhausted. Late June saw the continental United States crossed and recross?d in 44 hours, 3 minutes ami 2 seconds. Capt. Frank Hawks, tlyng a Lockheed Vega, flew from Roosevelt Field, New York, to Los Angeles and returned while only two suns set. Only July 8 Roger Q. Williams and Ixmis A. Yancey took off from Old Orchard, Me., in their Bellanca monoplane, “Pathfinder” for the “Eternal City.” Taking a straight path across the Atlantic, they landed at Santander, Spain, and. refuelling there, proceeded to Rome. Remarked Yancey on his return: "It was infernally dull.” Air-Rail Routes Railroads and airplanes combined on July 8 to open a fast, steady travel route across the continent. Charles A- Lindbergh on that date took off from the west coast to open the route establihed by the Transcontinental Air Transport, Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe and the Pennsylvania railroad. On I the other end of the line the I Pennsylvania's "Airway Limiteel” j started its westward journey from New York City. Two "hard-boiled hombres,’’ as they described themselves, came to earth at Lambert Field, St. Louis, I on July 30 after remaining' in the air 420 hours, 21 minutes and 30 seconds, thus breaking the previous endurance record by 173 hours, 37 ' minutes. Their names were Dale ’Jackson and Forest O’Brlne and 1 ■ heir ship was a Curtis-Challenger. Dur ng their flight of 25,200 j miles, far enough to encircle the globe at the equator, they completed 48 contacts to obtain gaso-

— What record was set by Lieut. Apollo Soucek? How many planes successfully flew the Atlantic from west to east during the year? Who made the first demonstration of “blind flying?" These and other questions are answered in this review of trends and developments in aviation during 1929. 1 line. Between them was divided 131,225 in prize money. Their roc- : ord still stands. The Graf Zeppelin, most famous ! of dirigibles, took off from her < Friedrichshafen hangar July on her second successful flight to America. In October, 1928, she crossed and recrossed the Atlantic, but had been balked in a second attempt earlier tills year. Round-the-World Cruise Arriving at Lakehurst, N. J., on i August 4, the big ship remained here four days. On August 8 her commander. Dr. Hugo Eckener, lifted her nose in the air and pointed it eastward for a globe-encircling tour. With a crew of 41 and 20 passengers aboard, she traveled fleetly across the Atlantic in the record time of 55 hours and 21 minutes On August 12 she left Friedrichshafen and, sailing eastward, rounded the world, arriving at I.akehurt 21 days, 7 hours and 34 minutes after she left there earlier in the month. During its trip the air giant maintained an average speed of 50 miles per hour. Scientific research achieved another victory at Mitchell Field, NewYork, on September 24 when Lieut. James H. Doolittle, U S. A„ sitting in a completely covered cock- - pit, rose from the field, circled (round several times, and landed again guided solely by instruments. It was the first successful : demonstration of "blind flying." Commercial air line operators, jubilant, foresaw the day when fogs would lose their terror for pilots rperating by Instruments alone. Doolittle’s feat was accomplished with the aid of an artificial hori--1 zon, a direction finding radio and an unusually sensistive altimeter. • It is predicted these instruments soon will be standard equipment on high-priced commercial planes. Largest Dirigible Work on lhe world's largest dir- ' igible began at Akron, Ohio, No--1 vember 7 when Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, U. S. N„ drove a golden rivet in the master ring of the Navy's ZRS-4. Witli a gas capacity of 6,500,000 cubic feet and a length of 785 feet, she and her sis ter ship, the ZRS-5, .will far sur--1 pass the Graf Zeppelin, present lueen of the air. ' Both Navy ships will carry five fighting planes to protect them from attack. These planes will be 1 rtored in marsupial pouches from which they may take off. Later, they may be retrieved by a special hooking apparatus the Navy lias perfected. Each Zeppelin will be further protected by 16 machine ' guns.

| They will have a speed of 72.8 I knots and a cruising range of 10,-! 580 land miles. The ZRS-4 was to be completed within 18 months [from November 7 and the ZRS 5 15 months after the first ship. Conqtterer of two poles, Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, on November 29, sailed over the South Pole in bls Ford trimotored plane after taking off from his Little America. Antarctica base, lie ami bis companions spent 18 hours and 39 minutes aloft over the cold barren wastes at the "bottom of the world." lie was the first man to reach the South Pole by airplane. Year's Statistics Other accomplishments of the year included the completion of the first all metal dirigible, the Navy’s ZMC-2 and the successful testing of "Mechaviator," a device for keeping planes on their true course while pilots rest. While aviation's heroes ami heroines were performing their stunts, drills and brasssaws were whirring busily in a hundred airplane factories. Commercial pilots were wind ng their daily course across the country, and thousands of young men were learning to lie successful pilots. Commerce Department statistic showed at tlie end of the last fiscal year, June 3(1, there were 32 air lines carrying express, 47 carrying mail, and 61 carrying passengers o— — * MAGLEY NEWS ♦ ♦ Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jaberg are the proud parents of a baby girl born Sunday evening.

For several years I suffered witli weak stomach, kidneys and bowels. My food would not dige-t and I suffered from gases in the stomach. My •deep was broken ’by frequent night risings and I was never free from constipation. "In four weeks after beginning with Konjola I did not have an ache or a pain. My stomach became normal and my kidneys were functioning properly. Constipation >' h!ch filled my system witli accu- | ululated poisons, entirely disappjared and I no longer resorted to cathartics. With a healthy stomach, I began to eat regularly of nourishing foods and took on weight. How 1 wish every man in America knew what I know about Konjola.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at B. J. Smith drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns •hroughout this entire section. Colds are serious. Even mild I cases are dangerous.
