‘Never Too Young or Too Old’

FOR MONTHS WE'VE been wondering why an old-fashioned buggy was perched atop a building at Maurer Brothers Auto Parts, 919 N. Senate ave, Yesprday we asked the manager, David Maurer, who explained the buggy is supposed to symbolize the company’s slogan pn used cars: “Never too young or too old.” One of its principal uses, however, is to attract attention, Nine out of 10 motorists passing for the first time stop and stare at the buggy, of the 1900 vintage. Mr. Maurer took the buggy on a tradein a few years ago. He couldn't figure out what to do vith it until one Sunday he got the bright idea of laying it on the roof. It's light, so he and some stomers put boards up to.the roof and pushed it up. One of the persons most surprised at seeing a buggy on the roof was the co-manager, Julius Maurer, who has just returned after three and one-half years in ice. . . . Two downtown department stores had hose on sale yesterday, Whereas nylons would ve created a riot, the silk hose sold slowly at one store. The women just didn't know what to think bout it, probably not remembering the last time they aw silk hose. The other store immediately had quite a line, as soon as they put the hose out. . resident who appeared before the zoning board to get a variance to convert a building into a three-unit partment house explained all the trouble he'd had eadying the building for inspection. Listing his oubles chronologically he told members that in leaning ‘he'd found and moved out: “Crates, boxes ed with straw, rabbits, rats and a hermit.” He never explained about the last item and the board ; so astonished it granted the variance without

(Editor's Note: This is the second of four dispatches on the future of the nation’s aircraft industry based on an exhaustive study of the key phases of production, small planes, new-born air freight, and how you'll fly tomorrow.) » » » WITH MORE than a quarter of a million trained flyers in the United States and 3,000,000 more potential flyers who had a taste of flying during world war II, the aircraft industry may boom back into the nation’s largest industry, but the experts doubt it. Commercial transport planes certainly will not provide the manufacturing volume required, and the future of private flying still is subject to considerable speculation, Charles PF. Kettering, General Motors vice president, estimated that mass production of private planes will come when the industry produces a model capable of carrying four people, cruising at 125 miles an hour, and selling for $2,000. No such plane has been offered by any small manufacturer. Despite the fact that the industry estimates between 20,000 and 30,000 small private planes will be manufactured in 1946, such a plane as Mr, Kettering described now would cost in excess of $5000. In addition to initial plane costs, private plane ownership is being retarded by high maintenance costs and lack of sufficient airport facilities for private flying,

Uncertainty Adds to Tour

WE WOULDN'T make reservations, even if we could. When we travel we don’t want to have to be at any certain place between certain hours on a certain'date. We like to stop and see things and get stories wherever they may be. We like to start out in the morning without any special destination for the night. The ulicestainty adds to the tour. After you decide where you want to go, the next thing is to see about the condition of your car. We shall make this trip in our 1939 Ford—but with a new motor. Back in the spring, when no one could tell me when I might hope to get a new car, I decided I'd have a new motor installed in my old ’39 and use it for another year or two. It cost about $130 installed. That's the small 60 h. p. motor. So far it just purrs like a kitten. So far. as the mechanism of the car was concerned, we didn’t need to have much done in preparation for this trip. -We had the brakes relined and the rear end inspected, and the car greased and the oil changed. That cost $18.45. And we got one-day service on the job. Service men tell me, however, that anyone planning a trip in an old car should allow at least a week—and preferably two weeks—for repairs to be made. If spare parts are needed, it may take several days to get them. And after your car is repaired you should drive it around town several days before starting on your trip, just to make sure that everything is all right, and to have any adjustments made that may be needed. Tomorrow we'll discuss tires and other preparations,

In 1944, with only 279 planes operating 4,688,330 passengers were carried over domestic lines.

GARDENING: New Beauty Is Added to an Old Favorite Bee-Balm Developed in Three Colors

' By MARGUERITE SMITH MOST OF US KNOW the fiery jred blossoms of bee-balm (berga-

Tt is followed shortly by the more common red kind, while the third just now opening its blossoms is a clear rose pink. Mrs. Kumpart sprinkles chicken manure over and around her plants in the fall “to make them grow tall.” With bone meal worked into the soil, too, they make big clumps for background plants, she said.
