I INDY PREDICTS 'STEADY GAIN IN USE OF PLANES Airports in Convenient [Places Vital Factor. He Says. BY HARRY FERGUSON l nited Prfn Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 26. —Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, whose New i ork-to-Paris flight generally is credited with accelerating interest in aviation in this country, talked today of the future of flying and, snore particularly, how it is likely to affect the average man. In response to a request by the United Press, Lnidbergh outlined Keveral tasks that must be accomplished before the airplane becomes an every-day factor in the life of the average American. He disclaimed any power of prophecy and pointed out that in an Industry tha tis changing as fast ris is aviation, no one can predict ■precisely what will happen. He believes airports are playing and will continue to play a most essential part. Why Flying Makes Gains "Before we can expect to have a great number of aircraft used by private owners," Lindbergh said. "We must find ways for flying to take a place in the every-day' life of the average man. "One of the first essentials is to have airports within what might be called a short taxi ride from the downtown district.” He pointed out how flying by private individuals is making its greatest headway, per capita, in sections of the country like Texas and Oklahoma, where there is less congestion and w'here cities are farther apart. Lindbergh was asked whether the airplane ever w-as likely to become as common a means of transportation as the automobile. Will Become Essential "The automobile," he declared, “is used as an essential in the average person's business while traveling between his home and office. “We cannot expect the airplane, in a period of a few years, to fit into their lives in that way. “The private airplane is still a luxury to a majority of the people. The automobilfe is a necessity. “Aircraft must be reduced in cost, made easier to fly, and they will have to become an essential to our routine of life before they will be sold in numbers which can be compared. even in a small way, with automobile sales. Larger Planes Predicted “However, I believe the use of private aircraft by business men will increase each year and that as time goes on the plane will become a necessity to many people as part of their everyday life." The tendency on trunk airlines, Lindbergh believes, will be toward larger planes. In that connection, he pointed out that airlines are carrying more passengers than they were a year ago. Big planes are practical, he said, and expressed the opinion that it would be entirely feasible to fly the Dornier DOX across the ocean un- j der proper conditions.

DOCTOR FINDS SWEAT PREVENTS CHAPPING Moisture Is Nature’s Remedy for Averting Painful Roughness. Rk Science Service MUKDEN, Dec. 26.—Besides its tamiliar function of cooling the body, sweat serves as a preventive of chapped hands and feet, Professor Yas Kuno, physiologist of the University of Manchuria, has discovered. Unlike the other parts of the body, the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet sweat continuously, without waiting for the thermometer to climb to summer heights. Only in the extreme cold do the sweat glands in thes portions of the body stop functioning and allow the skin to dry . and chap. Sweaty hands and feet also have a firmer grip. Workmen sometimes even wet their hands to help them hold a heavy tool, but for ordinary activity nature has provided the necessary moisture. 100 BOYS ARE CLOTHED Store Follows Annual Custom of Assisting Needy Youths.
