—; Aviation PREDICTS GUY LANDING FIELD ON STATION TOP C. of C. Secretary Declares Planes Must Land Near Trains. A downtown airplane landing field atop the union station or some other building in future years, was the prediction made by Paul H. Moore, Chamber of Commerce aviation secretary, in a talk before the Service Club Monday at the Lincoln. “In a few years some such downtown landing place will be necessary in order to make quick transfers from plane to train, or to rush business men to the business district," Moore said. “In addition, another landing field several miles from the city would be needed for larger planes and tor servicing.” Indianapolis Not Behind Indianapolis is not behind other cities of its size in preparing for the future of aviation, Moore said. “Most of the larger cities of the country are still groping around, striving to vision the needs of the future in establishing their municipal fields. “A municipal airport is comparable to an ocean harbor. A seaside city without a harbor is not on the route of ocean-going ships. The same is true of airports. “If everyone in Indianapolis would get behind the municipal airport project, Indianapolis soon would have one of the best airports in the country.” Describes Progress Moore described progress being made in aviation. Recently, he said, a plane carrying forty passengers stopped at the Chicago municipal field. The company that made the plane is planning a 100 passenger plane. Germany, he said, Is building a 200 passenger plane for trans-At-lantic flights, passengers living in the wings of the ship. England is building two huge dirigibles. One of these, for military use, will carry four six-inch guns and four airplanes, which will land on the top of the dirigible, being lowered inside the giant balloon by elevators. Moore, who has just returned from St. Louis where he obtained estimates on maintenance of an airport, said St. Louis has not reached definite conclusions on a municipal airport. Planes Light Field “Their present field, on which they are to spend $2,000,600, authorized by the public at a recent election, is about twenty miles from the heart of the city,” he said. “Already they realize this Is too far away, and while proposing to go ahead with the $2,000,000 improvement project, they are considering another municipal airport nearer the city.” Cleveland has one of the best airports in the country, he said. This port has cost more than $2,500,000 and contains about 1,000 acres. Lighting is automatic, vibration from motors of planes automatically turning on the field’s floodlights.

This is the seventh of a 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. BY CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN When anew method of transportation springs up it invariably causes revolutionary changes in the older modes of travel—thus the airplane has brought about radical changes in the operation of surface, under-surface, elevated and water routes in use before the advent of winged vehicles. The adaptability of the airplane to commercial usage has set the great traffic experts of our country to revising the various problems of transportation. And, as a result, some of the railroad lines and some of the steamship companies already are using the plane to help speed travel on their respective systems. Planes leave ships at sea and speed passengers, mail or cargo to port long before the ship itself can arrive; the railroads transfer night passengers to day planes and arrange connection with another night train, thus giving more speed to land travel. Sell by Plane Because already there is a network of airlines over the United States extending from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico, and because the lines already are beginning to draw heavily on the revenue of existing surface transportation lines, the railroads and the shipping interests have found these measures' necessary. The straight air lines, however, go the old system one bettor—they are able to reach places not accessible to surface lines. The rises to which a plane may be put seems to have no limit. Advertising firms all over the country are profiting with the flying machine. And even skywriting has been patented so that only one concern has a right to make letters in the sky with an airplane. Not long ago a leading cigar company fitted out a large passenger plane as a flying cigar store and at the various ports of call the “store” sold over the counter an average of S2OO worth of cigars daily. A cigaret manufacturer fitted a plane with a loud speaker and used it over the country to inform the world of their product’s excellent qualities. Used to Kill Pests Then, too, the plane is taking its place in agriculture. In the South several companies have been organized to spray cotton and other crops with an-insect powder in order to kill pests. In this work the plane does in thirty minutes the work that would require days under the old methods of spraying. A drug store in one of our cities is using the plane for out-of-town deliveries, and scattered over the country are hundreds of privately owned planes that may be hired for delivery service. Aerial mapping is another business that is proving quite a success, for the photographic maps obtainable by use of the plane shows the lay of the land in very accurate de-

tail. There is a slight scale variance but the correct detail of the ground surface more than offsets this element. But the greatest job for aircraft is in passenger, freight, express and mail transport, things which have become big factors within a short period of time. Air passenger lines are springing up almost daily and the demand for commercial ships is almost unbelievable. One passenger line on the West coast has Just ordered a fleet of tri-motored planes to put into passenger service. This company operates coastwise service and is preparing to put into operation a trans-continental service. 100 Types Produced The popularity of the air plane as a passenger machine is emphasized, perhaps, in the fact that in a recent issue of one aviatiin magazine there were advertisements of fifty-three flying schools. Look through any of the leading aviation magazines and you will find no less than fifty or ,seventy-five advertisements of aircraft manufacturers. This alone proves that the use of the commercial plane is decidedly on the increase. At present there are more than 100 different types of airplanes being manufactured in the United States—and the manufacturers are selling their product. The old "barnstormer”—the lone aviator that made the country fairs and carries passengers at a certain fee—is still seen at times, but is fast becoming outclassed by organized companies that are equipped with more modern machines. Faster Planes Coming The air-passenger miles flown every year far out-distance other forms of travel on the passenger mile basis, Government statistics show. A passenger mile is the transportation of one passenger one mile. The speed of the plane doubles that of the fastest surface machine and at the same time carries its occupants with more comfort and just as much safety. But the plane of today is a slow moving craft in comparison with that we will see in the near future. During the last five years aircraft speed has been increased 25 per cent and on the basis of this it is safe to predict that within the next five years it will be a commonplace thing for an air passenger to breakfast in New York, lunch in St. Louis and have dinner in San Francisco. Daw n-to-dusk transcontinental flights have been made, but it will be several years before they are as

Went to Hot Springs .... then finally decided tc try S.S.S. I took a course. In a short time the rheumatic pains entirely “left me.

The plane was piloted by L. R. Estle, Columbus. Flies to File Bid Bn Times Special PRINCETON, Ind., Aug. 28. JV. A. Matthew, secretary of the Matthew Construction Company, used an airplane to travel from Erie, 111., to Princeton in order to arrive in time to present a bid on a drainage project. The plane covered a distance of 270 miles in three hours twenty .minutes. Passenger Plane Missing Hu United Press SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 28.—Mystery today still surrounded the fate of the giant Ford monoplane which was lost on a flight from Vancouver, B. C., to Seattle. The search continued today. No wreckage r f the craft had been found in the Straits of Juan De Fuca, where it was believed to have fallen. Aviators and seamen feared the plane had dived into the sea with its six passengers aboard. It might have struck the water in a fog, they said. Spots of oil had been seen on the water at one- point along the monoplane’s route. Bloomington Pilot Here Pilot Herbert Oberting, flying the Waco biplane owned by Wiley Carter, Bloomington, landed at Indianapolis airport Monday. He left Monday afternoon for Crawfordsville to carry passengers there. Takes Plane to Illinois Capt. H. Weir Cook, Army aviation instructor for the 113th Observation Squadron, Indiana National Guard, flew to Chanute Field, Rantoul, 111., Monday afternoon in an Army P-l-B biplane, which he left there. Cook was accompanied by Lieut. Matt G. Carpenter in a Curtiss 0-11 biplane, in which both returned to Indianapolis.

who quite recently determined to become an aviator. “Pressed for time, he decided to try to learn during his luncheon hours, and succeeded in gaining his pilot’s license in no more than twelve half-hour lessons.

Such amazing results have been obtained from the use of this celebrated compound by the people of rndianapolis and surrounding cities that it has long since been acclaimed the most effective medicine of its kind. Thousands of men and women in all walks of life, including nurses, DUblic officials, ministers and business men. have indorsed Konjoia, but to the people of Indianapolis territory, and especially the radio fans, there is probably no one better known than Mr. Herman Hall, living at 12 E. Minnesota St„ this city. “Konjoia completely ended the neuritis pains I had in my arms and shoulders,” said Mr Hall. “A little more than six months ago, I suffered dreadfully from these terrific pains and it was often impossible for me to play my banjo. This was really a handicap and I realized the necessity of a good medicine to drive these aches and pains out of my system. I had heard so much about Konjoia that I decided to give this medicine a trial In a week's time I noticed an improvement and by the end oi the third week every ache and pain had gone ana my whole system was invigorated with anew feeling of life energy was six months ago and none oi tha pain ever returned, so I feel sure Konjoia has given me lasting relief. "This medicine certainly proved its worth in my case and I strongly indorse it to others.” The Konjoia man is at Hook’s drug store, Illino's and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and exp'aining the merits of this remedy. Konjoia is sold in every Hook drug store in this section and by all the leading druggists throughout this vicinity.—Advertisement
