‘ —Aviation GLOBE GiRGLER TO STOP HERE ONJLS. TOUR Captain Collyer on 15-Stop Good Will Flight is Due Aug. 27. Capt. Charles B. D. Collyer, who with John Henry Mears, New York City, set anew record for the fastest trip around the world, will arrive in Indianapolis Aug. 27 on a good-will tour in the Fairchild cabin monoplane, “City of New York,” in which the overland part of the trip was made. Collyer and Mear completed their 20,000-mile globe circling expedition in twenty-three days, fifteen hours and eight seconds. Indianapolis is one of fifteen scheduled stops to be made by Collyer and his passenger, D. Miller, of the Fairchild Aviation Corporation of New York. The tour, which begarj at Farmingdale, L. L, Aug. 18, will cover a total of 3,500 miles and is i expected to end at New York Sept. 4. Collyer expects to enter the plane in the New York-Los Angeles transcontinental air race Sept. 6, which is expected to include Indianapolis on its itinerary. Flying Thrills Woman By Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 21.—Mrs. Helen Wakefield, Wabash, who is a student flier at Shockley field here with her husband, Dean Wakefield, declares: “There are plenty of thrills in learning to fly an airplane.” Being short of stature is proving a difficulty to Mrs. Wakefield in seeking a private pilot license. She places six cushions behind her in a plane so she will be in a position to reach the controls. Captain Cook to Stay Capt. H. Weir Cook, regular army instructor for 113th Observation Squadron, Indiana National Guard, will remain in Indianapolis two years, as a result of formal orders received by Adjutant General William H. Kershner revoking previous orders transferring Cook to Langley field. The revocation was issued because of numerous requests forwarded to Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall, chief of staff, United States Army, at Washington, that he be retained here. Flies on Business Bu Times Special ALEXANDRIA, . Ind., Aug. 21. The first plane trip for C. C.

Commercial Air Age Here After Two Decades of Rapid Progress

f V •< - % ■ • - * . " . . ■ nfr -

Here’s the picture story of what two decades have brought in the development of the airplane. Upper right is the first Wright plane in flight and just below it is Orville Wright’s take-off on July 27, 1909, on his “long flight from Washington to Alexandria, Va.„ twelve miles, which set anew world’s record. The passenger is Major Foulois, U. S. A. Below is one of the modern air liners now operating between Los Angeles and San Francisco, while the picture just above shows its luxurious interior.

Capital Interested as Mail Routes and Passenger Lines Prosper. This Is the first of s series of articles In which Capt. Malcolm J. Buchanan, writer for The Times and NEA Service explains the use of the airplane and how to operate It. Buchanan was a pilot with the United States Army Air Corps on the western front during the World War and is now on the editorial staff of the Ft. Worth (Texas) Press. Here he gives tthe background of aviation. By CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN Man’s desire to fly always has been a peculiar trait of the species. There are few who have not watched the flight of a fleet-winged lark or a slow-moving buzzard and not felt the urge to join the aerial procession and take a look as the clouds from above. Man first attempted flight by attaching mechanical devices to his arms and legs; thus encumbered he leaped from towers and building tops, and attempted to flutter to earth. It was a tragic lesson that he learned—a lesson that brought forth much pointing to the Bible with the comment that “Man was never intended to fly, else God would have given him wings.” They were right. Man equipped with wings probably never will have a place in the scheme cf things, but nevertheless, the age-old inhibition to conquer the air toda can be satisfied safely. Modern aviation is the answer. Wrights First to Fly It always has been difficult to convince the skeptics. In the dawn of aviation’s history very few people were interested in '-he “foolish” undertaking and, those who pioneered the idea were scoffed and held up to derision. Witness, in this light, the experiences of Prof. Samuel Pierpont Langley and his brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright. Langley, one of the foremost scientists of his day, experimented with aeronautics in the early ’9os and in 1896, near Washington on the Potomac River, tested out what he called an “aerodrome.” This passenger less plane flew; twice it traveled one-half mile, negotiating each trip in on and onehalf minutes. Langley also experimented with a plane capable of carrying a man, but numerous accidents prevented launching. So it remained for the brothers Wright to develop the first truly successful plane—a frail, motorized bird-skeleton, which, after tests at Kitty Hawk, N. C., mauo a flight with a passenger at Dayton, Ohio, in 1905. But even after this practical demonstration the Wrights were regarded as “nut inventors.” It was not until 1908, after demonstrations by the Wrights in Europe, that the United States bought planes for use in the army. Progress Is Rapid These outstanding things have come out of the daring experiments of these pioneers: The development of a military weapon of destruction never before equaled. A means of transportation, either in peace or in war, that is unexcelled in speed. An economical method of carrying freight, mail and express over a route which has, figurativly speaking, reduced a continent to the size of a State, when compared with former methods of transportation. The World War did much to develop the airplane. The general public read dispatches from the front and awakened to the fact that the plane was a great factor in modem warfare. Its war use, perhaps, is responsible for its becoming a big factor in our present economic system. In thirty years of development the airplanee far has outstripped any other of the inventions that tend toward progress. One aviation company alone is reported to have flown 720,000 miles within flve

months without accident’to material or personnel. The increasing number of airmail lines is evidence that capital is interested and in this light it perts that within the next year has been estimated by various exthere will- be a demand for 3,000 or more planes for commercial use. Cities all over the country are building municipal airports—bewell as passenger service. They cause every city wants air mail as seem to realize that the air route of today is just what the railroad was fifty and seventy-five years ago. Postmaster General New announced recently that 17,444 miles are being flown daily on air mail routes, with 7,000 miles more In prospect for the near future. These figures show just one phase of flying activities. Air “taxies,” pleasure -"d business planes are making equal mileage, and the army and navy mileage may be added to this. And new fields for the plane’s use are being discovered every day. The day of experiments ir rapidly being passed and as the postmaster general says: “The day of the commercial airplane is at hand. Prepare for it!” (Next: The Airplane as a Vehicle.) Courtney to Try Again By United Press MONTREAL, Aug. 21. Capt. Frank T. Courtney announced today that he would attempt a third trans-Atlantic flight. He made the statement after an inspection of the damaged hull of his flying boat. The Whale, which caught fire after he and Elwood B. Hosmer had left the Azores in an attempt to reach the American coast. hTe Whale arrived at Montreal aboard tlaliap freighter Valprato today, having been salvaged after drifting for five days at sea. After viewing the wrecked plane and expressing surprise that it had been able to withstand the buffeting of the Atlantic for five days, Courtney revealed that he had been able to make one of his best landings in the fire emergency at eighty miles an hour in the dark because of the glow from the burning rear part of the fuselage. The Whale was returned to Courtney without any request for salvage fees through the courtesy of the Italian company owning the freight* er which picked it up. On Way to Nicaragua Bu United Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 21— Liieutenant Frank Schilt, piloting a Fokker marine plane from Washington to Nicaragua left here today for Miami. He planned to refuel there before attempting the hop to Managua. Plans Globe Flight By United Press BUFFALO, Aug. 21—A globegirdling flight in a multi-engined plane is planned by Lieut. Leigh Wade, pilot of one of the four Army planes which made an epochaj round-the-world trip in 1924, he revealed today. Wade recently returned from a South American trip in the interests of commercial aviation. According to Wade, an attempt will be made to set anew time record for globe circling by air. The ship will carry a crew of four. Nq date has been set for the proposed flight. • Bar Stunts for Mutes By United Press CURTISS FIELD, N. Y., Aug. 21. —Officials at Curtiss Field have barred stunt flights in which deaf and dumb persons seek to be cured by being frightened into recovering their hearing and speech. M. M.

though badly frightened, failed to regain the power of speech. The society for the prevention of cruelty to children took the matter up with Julius’ parents after the flight. Byrd Plane Ready By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 21—A fourth plane for Commander Byrd’s Antarctic expedition will be delivered to the explorer at the end of this week, it was announced at Farmingdale, L. 1., today. Many special features will make the plane efficient in every possible way.

COUNCIL BACKS BILL FOB CIVIL SERVICEBOARD Calls on Mayor to Adopt Plans for City Police and Firemen. Mayor L. Ert Slack today faced the unanimous demand of city councilmen that a “civil service department” be established and funds for its operation be included in the 1929 appropriation. / A councilmanic resolution introduced by John F. White, civil service commissioner under the Duvall administration, was unanimously adopted by councilmen Monday night. Slack, who has evaded the civil service question since his election Nov. 8, continued his “non-com-mittal policy" today. It is understood several city officials who are interested in politics are opposing the plan. Civil service was adopted by the Duvall cabinet for the police and fire departments, but was rescinded shortly before Duvall was unseated. Councilman Meredith Nicholson introduced an amendment to the resolution to provide that the department members be "appointed by the mayor.” Nicholson said the resolution was for the purpose of "bringing the merits of the civil service plan to the Mayor’s attention.” “I think civil service will have the support of citizens generally. Such a system would care for complaints of inefficiency against city employes and serve as a remedy for incompetence,” Nicholson said. Nicholson pointed out that a school for police and firemen probably would be established under the plan. White said he “had faith that END SICKNESS THIS NEW WAY No medicine, drugs or dieting.

conditions are such that civil serv Ice would benefit the administration. The Mayor agreed to consider this question very seriously' after the mayorality tangle was settled. I think this is the appropriate time to start the department.” He said he believed such a department would relieve the Mayor and executive officers of the burden of selecting and promoting employes. “Fair treatment would be guaranteed to each city employe and remove outside pressure during political campaigns. This step is in keeping with the plan to prepare the city for the city manager form of government,” White concluded. Traffic Deaths Reach 26 By Times Special SOUTH BEND.

it as something that God gives and about which we, as individuals, have nothing to say. This is a mistaken notion. While it is splendid to have nature bless us with good physique, the care and protection of this gift, is our own responsibility. Konjola is anew medical preparation that helps Nature keep the inner organs of the human body functioning properly; or if one is suffering from disorders of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, or nervousness, rheumatism and neuritis troubles, it will bring about anew feeling of health and life energy. The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he talks to men and women in all walks of life every day and explains to them the merits of this celebrated compound. “I haven’t had rheumatism since I finished a treatment of Konjola, over five months ago,” states Mr. Jesse Butler, a well-known Indianapolis citizen, living at 1519 Kappea street, and employed by the Marmon Motor Company of this city. “Before I started with Konjola* my health was in a terribly rundown condition and I was never able to find anything to help me. My trouble started with a sour, acid stomach and in spite of the different remedies I began taking in hope of ending this unhealthy condition before it got too far, my health continued to go from bad to worse My stomach would bloat up to almost twice its normal size after eating; and I was subject to belching bits of undigested food and a hot, bitter liquid that caused a burning sensation from my throat to the pit of my stomach. Then I began suffering from rheumatism. In damp, rainy weather my whole body would be affected and every joint would feel sore and achy for days afterward. Gnawing pains in my limbs kept me awake. “When I started to take Konjola, I had only hoped it would end my stomach trouble and didn’t think it would help all my trouble I really did not expect it from a single medicine. It put my stomach in good shape in such a short time that I was surprised and felt it would be worth while to keep on taking thle medicine a little while longer Now, I am glad I didn’t stop as soon as it relieved those awful stomach miseries Within two more weeks I waa almost free of every ache and pain in my body and by the time 1 finished the treatment, my health waa in better condition in every way than it had been for several vears. Konjola is a wonderful medicine and I strongly indorse it.” The Konjola Man 13 at Hook’a Drug Store.
