AIRPLANE TAXI SEEN AS NEXT AVIATION STEP U. S. Report Shows Interest in Flying Soared After Lindbergh’s Hop. BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—“ Cleveland, James.” With the same nonchalance that he tells the chauffeur to drive him home,' the busy business man of the luture will direct his pilot to start the motor and hop off for York, or Cincinnati. This is predicted by Clarence M. Young, director of aeronautics of the DepaVtment of Commerce, in his annual report to Congress. Just as luxurious airplanes traveling on schedule are flying from Berlin to Paris to London, and other European centers, Young sees the time not far'distant when the United States will be a network of charted and illuminated airways. Sees Air Taxis There will be “taxi” airplanes and luxurious pleasure planes, types of which now are making their appearance in New York, Washington and other cities. The danger factor will be no greater than in automobiles, according to this Government official. Although the United States has been slow in its development of civil aeronautics and has fallen behind Europe; the nation now is going ahead at top speed, the report shows. Airplane construction in the fiscal year which ended June 30, was more than $20,000,000 —sixty per cent increase over 1925. And since June 30, the pace is even faster. Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic and the subsequent hops of other trans-oceanic fliers have stirred the American imagination with the result that the aviation industry is experiencing a real revival. All airplane factories are heavily booked with orders. New type planes are replacing the war surplus types which had been doing service until recently. New air routes are being charted In all parts of the country; cities are vieing with one another in the construction of the most improved airports. Ik'is" estimated that by the end of 1928 a thousand airports will be in operation, a large percentage of them municipal. Numerous cities and towns are being airmarked, one company alone having painted city names on more than 4,000 of its stations.

LONG BATTLES TO FREE SELF FACESINGLAIR Appeals From Connections to Require Many Years in Settlement. BY RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Harry F. Sinclair may spend the greater part of his time in the District of Columbia for the next few years defending himself against a variety of charges, all growing out of the Teapot Dome scandal of four years ago. He has already been before the courts at frequent intervals for two years and a half, since he was first indicted on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government. A long, but unsuccessful, legal battle was fought against this indictment to prevent its coming to trial. Gets Contempt Sentence Meanwhile a second indictment, charging Sinclair with contempt of the Senate had been returned and Sinclair went to trial last March on this charge. He was convicted and sentenced to three months in jail and SSOO fine. / From this conviction he has appealed. Sinclair’s next appearance In court was in the conspiracy case which

Goose Neck Noodles Are Fattening .Feast Fowls 1 i Bu United Pres* WATERTOWN, Wis., Dec. 10.—This is the busiest season of the year for Wisconsin farmers who .raise “stuffed geese” for the holiday market. Orders for the fowls are pouring in from all parts of the United States. Those engaged in this unique industry are kept on the run running “goose noodles” down the necks of their docile charges. Fed on a special diet pf noodles, made from a mixture of cornmeal and white flour, which are literally “stuffed” down the throats of the geese, they take on weight rapidly during the three or four weeks before Christmas. The expert feeding enlarges the goose's liver, which sometimes attains a weight of three or four pounds. It is therefore a valuable part of the bird. Stuffed goose, dressed for market, will average' twenty-four pounds. Weight of the goose determines the market price received. The heavier the goose, the higher the price per pound.

If Sinclair should be found guilty of either of the conspiracy charges he has the right to appeal to the District, of Columbia Court of Ap-
