Aviation WICHITA TAKES ' HONORS AS AIR CAPITAL OF U, S. Six Plane Factories Run Full Blast; Two Others Build Motors. Hu United Press WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 20.—1f * there is one city in the United States that takes its flying seriously it is Wichita. The aeronautical industry has been developed here beyond any expectations. Figures show Wichita will manufacture approximately one-third of the airplanes turned out in the United States this year. Six factories, one listed among the largest in the country, are turning out the latest model airplanes, unable to meet the demand, despite improved production methods. The six, in order to their size and output, are: Travelair, twenty planes a week; Swallow Airplane Company, seven; Cessna Aircraft v Company, three; Swift Airplane Company, two planes produced to date, with a projected production of one a week, and Laird Aircraft Company, one every two weeks. Produce Many Types The Wichita factories produce all types of planes except the giant tri-motor. Luxurious cabin monoplanes and biplanes, swift little twoseaters, air mail craft—all are manufactured here. Incidentally, Wichita boasts the oldest commercial airplane company in the United States, the Swallow Arm. But the factories, important as they are, are only a part of the industry here. There are two motor companies; the Wichita Blue Streak Motor Company, and the Quick Air Motors. The latter company has erected a factory, and production of five motors a day is scheduled. It will have an annual turnover of more than $4,000,000. Has Six Flying Fields A propeller company, transportation services, repair shop and flying schools also are centered here. Wichita offers six landing fields: the municipal airport, the “California section,” soon to be made the city’s landing field, Cessna field, Swift field, and Stearman field. A recent survey of the industry shows that today 841 men and women are employed in Wichita’s airplane factories, as compared to only forty-two at the same time last year. That is exclusive of the numbers employed in other lines of the air business. Sail on Flying Boat By United Press LONDON, Sept. 20.—A new allmetal flying boat that carries a ' ihast and sail in case it is forced to descend into the sea will be tested on the River Clyde. The hull of the boat is so designed that, even with the . wings in position, it can be navigated as a sailing vessel with a fair measure of accuracy. The boat is known as the Beard-more-Napier, and has been built to the order of the Air Ministry. The conr’ruction is on anew principle, and the machine is thought to be equally sea-worthy and air-worthy. After tests the flying boat will be handed over to the ministry and sent to Felixstowe where secret experiments will be made which, it is believed, will have far-reaching effects on some forthcoming longdistance flights. Nab Souvenir Hunter B,y Times Special GENEVA, Ind., Sept. 20.—Sentencing of Claude Ninde, near here, following his admission that he stole the gasoline tank of a $35,000 plane which made a forced landing, has been deferred in a justice of the peace court. Sheriff Harl HollingsPimples Cleared Away Muncie, Ind.—“Resinol Soap has ■worked wonders for me.

Aviation LAND EXPERTS TO VIEW CITY AIRPORT SITES Nine Tracts on List to Be Inspected; Reasonable Price Demanded. Land value experts of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board today begun work of appraising nine sites proposed for the municipal airport. Emerson W. Chaille, board president, asked George T. Whelden, appraisal chairman, to select a committee to view the nine locations in co-operation with the citizens’ air-i port site committee. The committee indicated it will seek a site at a price of not more than S2OO or S3OO an acre. Committeemen said the price on several tracts are too high for farm land. Would Boom Factories Clifford L. Harrod, Chamber of Commerce industrial commissioner, cited the need for a 1,000-acre tract to permit leasing of twenty-five acre sites for industries desiring location on the field. Hairod declared such a plan would place Indianapolis at the front of the aircraft industry, as manufacturers in many cities are seeking relocation to obtain a site on the airport for a testing ground.
