AIR LINE'S STEP BETS PRAISE AS BREAT ADVANCE Policy of Abandoning All Equipment Every Three Years Lauded. Scrippu.ftmeant Xetmpnpcr Alllanrr WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—United Aulines, the biggest air transport system in America, just has decided upon a policy of abandoning all its nymg equipment every three years, and replacing it with new planes and motors embodying the latest development;; in aviation. This meaps that the active life of all planes and motors used on the \ aricus routes of United Airlines will end long before they are worn out. It means also that the public will have the benefit cf the latest engineering advances along the line of speed, safety and comfort in airplanes. It means, further, that if the plan is adopted generally by all airlines of the country, the airplane manufacturers will do more business by millions of dollars than they arc how doing. 5,000 Hours With Safety It has been found that, by caring for a plane properly, if, can be flown 4,000 or 5,000 hours with safety. But it takes many years to build up that much flying time on a plane. Before' the average plane flying on the airlines has reached the decrepit stage, obsolescence has overtaken it. It is old fashioned and out of date. Hence the decision of United to put on new planes every three years, and new engines every 2,000 hours of flying. It. is probable that next year new high-speed equipment will be built for all the routes of United Airlines. “We realise, ’’ a company official says, “that there will be continued improvement in aeronautical design, and that the period of obsolescence should not be more than three y€ars in the present status of airplane development. Carries Half of Mail A few years ago ninety miles an hour was a satisfactory cruising speed. This speed is behind us now, because it is a complex of the American to want more speed, more comfort, and more improved planes. “Consequently, by establishing a

Mother of 102 children, Calico Kate, shown above, is believed to have established some kind of a record for the feline family. Calico Kate is just a plain alley variety of cat brought to a Cleveland, 0.. grocery when a kitten. She has remained there since. Her descorv'ants now include grandkittens, great-grandkittens, great-great-granclkutens and great-great-great-grandkittens and number into the thousands. Besides fulfilling so nobly her duties to her kind, Kate is an extraordinary mouser.

three-year period, United feels that it can keep pace with the improvements which will be built into airplanes and give the public and air mail service the equipment to which it is entitled.’’ United now carries more than 50 per cent of all the airmail in the United States. Its routes run from New York to San Francisco, Chicago to Dallas, Salt Lake to Spokane, and Seattle to San Diego. More than 1,700 merchant vessels carry the American flag.
