Aviation FLOATING GEAR ADDS TO PLANE SAFETY AT SEA New Device Adopted by Navy to Safeguard Its Fliers. By Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—One day last spring a United Stats navy airplane manned by three experienced fliers took off from Hampton Roads and headed up Chesapeake bay. Presently, over the water, the roar of the motor became intermittent, then ceased and the plane began a long glide down. In a few seconds the pilot “pancaked” the plane into the bay. No ships were near enough to see the accident. The veteran pilot, Lieutenant Commander T. G. Ellison, and his two companions soon were drowned. Othpr than a few splinters of the plane that were washed ashore, no trace of the unfortunate trio and their plane never has been found. Floating Gear Invented While those brave men were giving their lives toward the price that man is paying for the conquest of the air, a group of engineers were perfecting for the navy a safety device that enables a pilot to make a forced landing in deep water without undue risk of such fatal accidents. Sailors call the new invention a “floatation gear.” and its adoption by the United States navy as standard equipment on the new bombers now being delivered marks another great step toward safety in flying. Close co-operation between the engineering staff of the Glenn L. Martin Company and the rubber and fabric experts of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company brought about the invention of the floatation gear which the navy officially has adopted for its new planes. Lightness Is Feature Lightness, simplicity and unfailing reliability are the salient features of the new invention. The entire equipment for a large bombing plane weighs less than seventy pounds. There are no delicate adjustments to get out of order, and if the pilot pulls the control lever the whole operation of inflating the floatation bags becomes rapid and automatic. L Globe Air Route Pondered Bn United Press OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. 16.—An air route around the world is seen ao a strong possibility in the near future by J. A. Wilson, controller of civil aviation, who recently returned from a stay of two months in he British Isles and Europe. “Enormous developments in interempire communication may be expected within the next few years,” Wilson said. “While efforts so far have been to some extent concentrated on flights to India and Africa, the eyes of British fliers are turning towards Canada.” The R-100 and R-101 shortly will be ready for t*ieir trial trips and in the early spring would be ready for trans-Atlantic trips to Montreal.” Extend Mail Service Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Air mail service between Seattle and Los Angeles will go on as daily service, effective Dec. 1, instead of the present schedule of daily except Mondays, Assistant Postmaster General Glover announced today.

REGULATION CHRISTMAS CARDS URGED BY NEW Postmaster General Says Irregular Sizes Slow Up Mail Delivery. By 'Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Postmaster General New today issued an appeal to the public to avoid usingsmall or irregular sized Christmas greeting cards this year, stating that the unusual sizes cause much extra

work and difficulty in handling on the part of postoffice workers. Poster notices have been sent to all postoffices and branches throughout the country, urging that only standard sizes cards and envelopes be' used, and that they be mailed early. According to the postmaster general’s office, the smaller cards and envelopes cannot be run through the cancelling machines which makes it necessary to void each stamp by hand. This not only wastes time, but results in delivery delays, the postal officials state.
