RADIO'EYES'TO HELP DIRIGIBLE ON SEAFLIGHT Weather Bureau Will Keep in Touch With Giant British Airship. Bv ftrienrr Srrrirr TORONTO, Ontario, May 7. Radio “eyes,” searching out over the Atlantic ocean from Toronto for signs of approaching squalls, rainstorms and windstorms, will reassure or warn the commander and crew of the British dirigible R-100 of danger ahead, or a clear aerial highway, when the big airship speeds over the ocean on its way to Montreal in this month. Staff men of the Canadian veather bureau, working from their headquarters in Toronto and at the airship’s Canadian home at St. Hubert, near Montreal, will be charged with the responsibility of keeping the sky travelers informed as to weather conditions along their route, after the dirigible passes Longitude 35, approximately the middle of the ocean. Two experienced forecasters and two qualified in translating meteorological information into code for wireless transmission, and preparing weather maps covering the dirigible's route, will be stationed at St. Hubert to send over the air information as to weather conditions. Toronto will be the clearing

SPEEDY STOCK PLANES TO BE ON VIEW SOON 200-Mile-an-Hour Ships Are Planned by Large Air Firms. Hi/ United Pre* WASHINGTON, May 7.—Regular stock model airplanes with a speed of 200 miles an hour or more, faster even than the usual military pursuit ship, are being planned by several large manufacturing companies. This was revealed at a recent manufacturer’s conference held in connection with the All-American air show at Detroit. The information was vouensafed confidentially and must be held so for the present. Hence, it is now impossible to name the companies planning these ships of revolutionary speed. It may be said, however, that several of the ultra-fast planes will make their initial appearance at the 1930 national air races in August. Some insight into the potential speed of regular commercial planes,

made possible by better stream-lin-ing and more efficient motors, was given by the recent transcontinental record-setting flight of Charles A. Lindbergh. The ship he used to fly from California to New York in 14 hours 45 minutes, a Lockheed-Sirius, now is being placed in regular commercial production. This trend toward faster stock planes is significant. Until very re-

cently few standard planes were capable of speed greater than 140 miles per hour and many of them could not flj that fast. The Impetus behind the present effort to attain greater speec is based on the realization that speed is the ait plane’s greatest—perhaps its only advantage over ocher modes of travel. If an air line, competing with a railroad, is able to cut down the

time between two cities by only an how or two, its appeal for traffic is necessarily weak. But if that two hours can be increased to half a day, or even more, the air line has a tremendous advantage. In 1789 there were only 75 postoffices in the United States, in 1929 there were more than 49.400. The postofiHce revenue in 1789 was about $25,000. In 1929 it will exceed $700,000.000
