-r Aviation COMMITTEE TO SET DATE FOR AIRPORT BIDS Estimates Must Be Based on Requirements From Questionnaire. The municipal airport site committee will meet again at 4 p. m. Friday to set a date for receiving sealed bids on airport sites to be submitted on a prescribed questionnaire adopted by the committee on Wednesday. It was decided to publish the site questionnaire and requirements for a field in local newspapers in order to give every one interested an opportunity to suggest sites. The equipment and maintenance committee postponed a meeting scheduled for today when it was to have heard a report compiled by Paul H. Moore, chamber aviation secretary, giving an estimate on the cost of operating the airport for one year. ■ Moore was to go to St. Louis today to confer with airport officials there on equipment costs. A committee of St. Louis aviation boosters made extensive inquiries in Europe before locating and equipping the St. Louis airport. Moore and-other members of the committee have obtained figures on costs from various other large airports. Sight committee members decided the field selected must have a minimum of 450 acres and a maximum of 640 acres, one square mile. Minimum runways for a triple A field under Department of Commerce regulations must be 5,000 feet in each direction, Moore explained. The site should be as near the city as possible, committee members agreed, in order to permit easy access to it. Also it must have light, power, water and sewer extensions, level topography and drainage. Clifford L. Harrod, Chamber Industrial commissioner, and secretary of the committee, explained the field may be perfectly square, round, L-shaped, or T-shaped. It was pointed out the airport, in a few years should be self-sus-taining. An item for maintenance of the airport next year will be included in the general fund of the municipal budget for 1929, William H. Book, civic affairs director, announced.

Plane Hops From Ship SHERBOUG, Aug. 23.—The ship-to-shore plane carrying mail from the liner He De France landed here at 11:30 a. m. and will continue to Paris this afternoon. The postal plane was catapulted from the deck of the lie De France,, at 7 a. m. today, from a position 150 miles west of Cape Lizard. Recently the same plane was catapulted from the lie De France, at a point about 450 miles out of New York harbor. The time saving was estimated at about eighteen hours and the test was so successful that French line officials indicated the plane would become a permanent part of the company’s service. Tours City From Air The conventional way of showing visitors the city by an automobile trip to a few points of interest was dispensed with in favor of an airplane tour of the city Wednesday by Bob Shank, Hoosier Airport president. Mrs. Alan Hvistendahl, of Mercedes, Texas, who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Shank, was taken to the airport Wednesday afternoon and given a ride over the city. “I think I saw more of Indianapolis in that half hour ride than most residents of the city see in a life time,” Mrs. Hvistendahl told Shank on their return. Although it was her first airplane ride, she enjoyed the trip thoroughly, she said. Woman, 75, Likes Flying Bp Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Aug. 23.—Mrs. Kate Bill, 75, has taken her first airplane ride and is enthusiastic over flying. She plans to ride again soon. Delphi Men Buy Plane DELPHI, Ind., Aug. 23.—James Engle and Benjamin Bean have purchased a Waco plane and will take flying lessons from Carl Bidenmeister, Indianapolis.

Why Do Planes Fly? Suction of Air on Wings Keeps Ship A loft

. ' ,'•'•‘•fn i™j

A Martin bombing plane, flying over Washington, D. C., is pictured above. The plane is turned, lifted or lowered by manipulation of the ailerons, rudder and elevator up and down or crosswise, as explained in Cap-. • tain Buchanan’s article.

This Is the third of a series of articles in which Oapt. 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 Air Corps on the western front during the World War and is now on the editorial staff of the Ft. Worth (Texas) Press.

BY CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN Why an airplane flies —or the theory of flight—is one of the most interesting of modern studies, principally because it is diffcult to conceive of a thing which weighs several tons overcoming gravity and lifting several hundred pounds in addition to its own weight. The air has a definite atmospheric weight and the plans is designed to take care of this weight. For example, when you hold your hand outside a moving automobile, your hand is forced back in the direction opposite the line of travel. It is the weight of the air that is felt on the hand. Planes Like Kite A plane flies because of dynamic reaction of the atmosphere against wing .surfaces. The commonplace kite is one of the best illustrations. In still air it will not fly unless towed, but on a windy day a kite will ascend to great height. Its tail must be such that it will hold the surface of the kite at a constant angle of contact to the air’s line of travel. Airplane wings are designed to act in the same manner. A wing surface can be made to lift more by increasing the angle of inclination up to a certain point where the drift overcomes the lift and is neutralized. The wing of the airplane, like that of the kite, has a lift that is measured in pounds per square foot. It is caused by the surface being pulled or pushed through the air, and the speed at which any given surface travels determines the lift per square foot. Monoplane Most Efficient When a surface is doubled its lift is doubled, approximately. This condition varies, however, as there is a drift that puts an added strain on the surface. Thus the designer is forced to make the wing heavier, though all added weight cuts down efficiency. The monoplane is perhaps the most desirable construction because it does away with all wire and bracing necessary in building multiple wings. The weight-carrying, or transport planes, have a large wing surface and do not travel at great speed. Its wings are set at the maximum angle to lift at low speeds. In the speed planes the design is reversed. They are given barely enough wing spread to lift the craft off the ground, and a small angle to the horizontal. Control by Ailerons Control of the craft is accomplished by ailerons, one on each wing tip; the rudder on the tail; and the elevator, also on the tail. The air acts on thes. surfaces as water does on the rudder of a motorboat. They are traveling through the air at a good speed nd are attached to the plane in the line of travel by hinges or pivots. Any movement of the control surfaces causes the air to exert pressure

on the surface and force it back to normal position. In case this surface is held out of the line of flight the plane is forced to change its course. The ailerons control the rolling or lateral position of the craft. In land traffic we are banking roads that automobiles may make turns without lessening speed. The controls of the airplane make it possible to bank on the air highways without skidding. Fly Almost Alone Sail boats have a keel surface which keeps them upright and to the course. The rudder—which is vertical—is the movable part of the plane’s keel surface and serves the same purpose. When wind strikes the plane from either side this keel surface causes the craft to turn into the wind, acting in the same capacity as the oldfashioned weather cock. The elevator causes the airplane to nose up or down in the same manner that the rudder turns the machine from right to left. The rudder and elevator exchange duties when the craft is flying on its side, as in a steep banked turn. The plane of today is as foolproof as any other similar piece of machinery. If its various parts arc 4n condition it will fly practically alone once in the air, but an accredited pilot must be familiar with the parts of his plane in addition to knowing the different functions of the parts. NEXT: What a Flier Must Know. Army Bombing Planes Three new Martin bomber airplanes just built for the United States Navy were landed at Shoen field for fuel Thursday afternoon on their way from the factory on the Atlantic coast to San Diego, Cal. The ships will become part of the Pacific fleet and are to be placed upon the two new airplane carriers recently constructed. They are equipped with Wright whirlwind engines. The crew is composed of Lieut. M. F. Schoffel, in charge; Lieut. J. W. King and Lieut. E. R. McLean, pilots, and E. A. Houser, L. B. McKeon and H. Skipper, mechanics.

Kansas Pilot Here Jack Louderman, flying anew Travelair biplane from the factory at Wichita, Kan., to Montreal, Can., landed at Hoosier airport Wednesday evening and spent the night in Indianapolis, resuming the long flight this morning. Prizes for Name Citizens of Indianapolis will have a chance to help name the new airport of the Capitol Airway, Inc., and be repaid for their efforts, in a contest announced today by Elmer H. Jose, president. The new airport, W. Thirtieth St., between Lafayette Pike and the Georgetown Rd., is to be dedicated Aug. 31 with an air circus, which is to be held in connection with the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention. Inasmuch as airport officials are having difficulty in deciding on a name for the field, Jose decided to permit the public to submit names. Cash prizes and airplane rides will be awarded for the best names submitted, Jose said. Names of a committee of prominent citizens to select the best name, and rules for the contest will

Aviation HOPE FADES TO FIND 2 FLIERS LOSTINNORTH No Chance If Down at Sea, Coast Guard Cutter Reports. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. But slight hope for the rescue of Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer, who have not been heard from since Sunday morning when their airplane, Great Rockford, was believed over Cape Chidley en route from Ontario to Greenland, as held out today by officials directing the search. The coast guard cutter Marion reported to headquarters Wednesday night that there was no chance for the airmen “if on the waters in this vicinity.” The Marion was then thirty miles east of Resolution Island, in waters where it was considered most likely the plane was forced down. , ~~ The cutter reported she was in a strong southerly gale and planning to turn her course to the south in the Labrador current to continue the search. Officials said there was a chance that Hassell and Cramer might have been forced off their course over Greenland or Quebec and might make their way to civilization in time, but that if they landed on water there was no hope of rescue now. The two airmen set out from Rockford, 111., to pioneer anew trans-Atlantic route over Canada and Greenland to northern Europe. Committee Shuns Air Members of the municipal airport site committee were all “up in the air” Wednesday at the suggestion of Clifford L. Harrod. Chamber of Commerce industrial commissioner, that they look over proposed sites from the air. “It would be a good thing for this committee to fly over these sites

Baby has little upsets at times. All your care cannot prevent them. But you can be prepared. Then you can do what any experienced nurse would do—what most physicians would tell you to do—give a few drops of plain Castoria. No sooner done than Baby is soothed; relief is just a matter of moments. Yet you have eased your child without use of a single doubtful drug; Castoria is vegetable. So it’s safe to use as often as an infant has any little pain you can not pat away. And it’s always ready for the crueler pangs of colic, or constipation, or diarrhea; effective, too, for older children. Twenty-five million bottles were bought last year.

Chairman Fred C. Gardner agreed with Hoke. Attorney James W.
