8 Inside Indianapolis

ONE OF Mrs. Leona Frankfort’s $4-dogs has risen from the relative obscurity of the dog pound to the footlights of the English stage. The black female of uncertain lineage will trods the boards in “Goose and te Gander” next week. Previous to being selected for the part, the pooch was nameless. Now, though, the dog pounders have named her after the leading lady in the show, Gloria Swanson. After the last curtain falls, the dog will be given to some Indianapolis child. - One of the stipulations given by Miss Swanson’s agent was that after the dog's stage career was through, the dog pound must pick her up and give her away. The reason said the agent, is that Miss Swanson is so fond of dogs she. frequently collects them from town to town. Gradually there's no travelling room left for the cast. Now there's been an absolute ruling made that Miss Swanson must not be allowed to coax anyone into letting her take pets with her, just because she got attached to them during the show.

Pipeline Marvel

NORMAN WELLS, N. W. T., Canada, April 26.— One of the engineering marvels of the world is going to pieces slowly here under the combined impact of Arctic weather and lack of maintenance. It is the Canol pipeline which was designed to carry oil from the wells here for 600 miles across the wild gorges and mile-high peaks of the Mackenzie mountains to Whitehorse in the Yukon territory. Neither the United States nor Canadian government shows any disposition to operate it now. Engineers say its four-inch maximum diameter makes its commercial use unfeasible. ;

Under terms of the agreement by which the line was constructed, its disposition reverts now to the permanent joint board on defense. The big base camp on the west side of the Mackenzie river has been deserted for a year. Headed also for temporary eclipse, it appears, is the bustling frontier settlement of Imperial Oil, Ltd., on the river's east bank, only 100 miles from the Arctic circle and as far north of Edmonton, Alta. as Chicago is distant from New York,

50-75 Can Operate Settlement FROM 50 TO 75 persons can operate the settlement on the scale planned for the immediate future, instead of the more than 200 now there, according to H. 8. (Woodrow) Wilson, acting field superintendent. For five weeks this spring, Norman Wells has bulged at every seam while air supply units of the Canadian air force used it as a base for meeting the needs of “Exercise Muskox.” Now these, too, are being withdrawn to Winnipeg. Canadian Pacific airlines will continue to operate service to the airport built on the sandy ridge be-

Aviation

THE RAILROADS and the steamships want to get into the airline transportation business. The airlines want them to stay out and thus maintain the present system where each facility is held to its own specialty and to maximum competitive efficiency in that field. The more competition, the better the service to the public. This battle now is officially open with the presentation of the airlines’ brief to the house interstate commerce committee, which begins its inquiry into our over-all national transportation setup. As the first step toward, getting into the airline business, the surface transportation interests advocate placing airline ‘regulation under the -interstate commerce commission—the government agency which now regulates surface transportation. At the outset, the battle starts with the airlines on the defensive because the railroads have had their attack under way long since—conditioning the public mind and pressuring the individual state legislatures to enact laws which will dump the air and. surface transportation regulation - into the same federal agency. The fight will be bitter and the airlines will not compromise.

Based on Aviation History THIS determination to fight to a finish is based on & memory of the entire history of aviation in all its phases. From the start we have been commanded by non-aviation people. Every single advance in aviation has been won in spite of, and not because of, this command, which never has understood the business but has insisted upon commanding it. This handicap always has limited aviation’s progress to the deficient vision of inexperienced command. A man's vision is always limited by the completeness of his knowledge.

My Day

LOUISVILLE, Ky, (Thursday).—The other evening, in New York City, I attended a dinner for the New York infirmary. It was a very distinguished gathering. They were particularly fortunate in.getting Bernard M. Baruch to make a speech, Among other things, he said that his father, whom he described as one of the wisest men he had ever known, had once told him that no man should become a doctor who was looking for any financial return. His reward should be entirely in the good he could do for other human beings. That is a pretty difficult standard to live up to in any age, and I think Mr. Baruch’s doctor-father must have been a very fine man. Mr. Baruch then proceeded to pay the ladies a very wonderful compliment by saying that he thought they would more nearly meet his father's requirements as doctors. Therefore, he believed in the work of the New York infirmary, which is staffed entirely by women and gives them an opportunity for the best and highest training in the medical arts. Campaign for New Building THERE WAS a time, many years ago, when this was the only institution in the city of New York where women could get this kind of training, But now they have won their way and they no lodger have to fac? as many difficulties as they did in the past.

Get Deluxe Service

AND SPEAKING OF courtesy, one of our agents says customers of The Meridian House, a new restaurant in town, get service deluxe. Instead of the fast brush-off when the check is delivered, the waitress there brought our agent and a friend four cigarets with the bill. They sald it made them feel a little more comfortable about settling back for an after dinner smoke. . . Mrs. Grace Tanner, Mayor Tyndall's executive secretary, was stumping the secretaries in her office with a tough spelling sentence. None of them could spell all the words in this toughie: “Nearby a cemetery sat a lonesome and harassed peddler gnawing on a desiccated potato and gazing with unparalleled ecstasy at the symmetry of a lady's ankle.” They shouldn't feel too bad, though, says Mrs, Tanner, since seven Harvard professors also fell down on it. , . .

tween the river and the foothills of the mountains to the northeast. The concept of the pipeline was a daring; spectacular—and expensive one. In 1942 when Jap invasion of the West Coast seemed imminent, the need for additional oil supplies was obvious. In the light of what the world knows now of Japanese resources and plans, the main usefulness of the line disappeared with the Battle of Midway almost before work began.

$130 Million Spent

THAT WAS less apparent then, and the work continued on the pipeline, the parallel road, and a refinery in Whitehorse which came into production in May, 1944, two months after the line itself was completed and tested. Something like $130,000,000 went into it. Much of the equipment must simply be left where it is. To move it or to maintain it would cost more than its present worth. Three or four years of service in the Arctic has told heavily on it. _ Flying over portions of the pipeline today, one grasps something of the immense difficulties under which it was constructed. Whatever else it may become, it will remain a monument to the resourcefulness and courage of the men who built it. Mountain peaks, some of them uncharted or umexplored, rise like saw teeth into the air. Among them are canyons with walls of sheer rock, hundreds of feet high. The rivers are so swift in places they seldom freeze. It is the home of mountain sheep and goats and grizzly bears, and almost nothing else. For its wild magnificence, the region perhaps is unsurpassed in North America.

By Maj. Al Williams

Aviation has been denied the authority and rank commensurate with its repsonsibility. This factor alone has accentuated and aggravated the impatience of the airman. He cannot sell his plans for the future because the command doesn’t know the past or the present status of the industry. The airlines barely got under way before they ran smack into the foulest steal perpetrated by the government against any private enterprise—cancellation of the air mail contracts. But they gathered up the pieces and started again, to win the position they hoid today.

Highly Specialized Business AVIATION is a highly specialized business in which competence to manage and regulate its destiny can be based only upon a lifetime of concentration and study. Any scheme for placing aviation under the same government agency or under the control of hoards of directors whose experience is based upon the operation of only surface transportation means disastrous suppression of the inspired dynamics which has sold flying to an unbelieving world. When I was a youngster, serving as unofficial aide to Adm. W. A." Moffett—father of naval aviation—he once asked me why I was so anxious to stimulate still greater competition between the various aircraft manufacturers. My answer: ers compete with one another, the better and s airplanes we pilots get to fly.” That same answer applies today while discussing the public's best interests in seeing to it that the surface and air transportation services each remains | in its own specialty, and is forced to compete for the! favor of the public's trédnsportation business,

ever, they still have some limitations to overcome, so this institution still fills a great need, They dinner launched a drive for $5,000,000 to build a new building, since the one in which the infirmary is now located is very old and inadequate. We know that, in the medical profession, the latest tools are necessary to accomplish the best results, and doctors must be trained in the use of these tools.

In high altitudes the body creates more red blood cells to carry the oxygen; normal counts of five million cells in every cubic millimeter of blood rise to between six and eight million cells, and the cells become more alkaline, a fact which enables them to absorb more carbon dioxide (waste),
