HILE Col. Charles A. LindW bergh, fresh from Xis triumphs in Central America and the West Indies, is now looking for new worlds to congquer aeronautically, city and aviation officials are planning new ways#®to make airports safer. : Flyers are interested in the dust problem not because they meet dust aloft, but because they must reckon with the problem when they are landing. Officials are interested because they are watchful over the safety of thousands of spectators filled with a vew zeal for aviation hecause of Col. Lindbergh’s prowess. So seriously have the officials of the Boston Airport at South Boston realized that question that they have conducted special experifnents with dustlaying apparatus and chemicals to determine whichh are most effective.
The problem has arisen only in recent ycavs—one might say months—with the iucrease in “galleries” at the big aviation fields. Public interest has become so aroused to flying that it is no uncommon sight to see hundreds and even thousands of persons
SHARP DUST PARTICLES ‘HOOK’ THEIR WAY INTO MEMBRANES AND DISEASE RESULTS Science Tells Why Some Trades, Dry Sweeping and Motoring on Certain Highways Are Dangerous to Health in Bringing on Respiratory Maladies.

CIENTIFIC research is gradualS ly finding out why dust kills One out of every-seven persons. The larvard Medical School, the United States Public Heaith Service, various insurance companies and the ‘great labor orzanizations of the country are all interested in the problem. For example, according to Dr. L. R. Thompson, of the United States Public Health Service, the sickness record of granite workers shows that the greater part of illness proceeds from respiratory conditions and that respiratory diseases are three t'mes as prevalent among granite workers as among workers in general industry, 4
“It is clear,” said Dr. Thompson, “that wherever jthere is a great amount of granite dust there is a dangerous hazard, a. mortality which seems inevitable and which is rising all the time.”
Incidentally, according to Federal statistics, from 4,500,000 to 5,000,000 persons are employed in the dusty trade, but everyone, from the man who fears “dry sweeping” by housewives on their front steps to the motorist who must find his way through clouds of dust on the hi~hway, is affected by the menace of fine particles in the air. : !
Various theories have been proposed to explain why dust should be such a danger to health, The usual explanation seeks the cause fn the tenderness of the mucous membrane lining of the throat and nose.
~ Healthy throats and noses secrete a fluid, the mucus, which is just -nf.

gathered on the more popular fields to see the takeoff in any one of the big races. 4 Men, women and children trample over the fields befora the start of the fiiers, tearing up the turf and earth 8o that it may become quite dusty. When the pilots are ready to take off and the crowds pushed back hehind the ropes, the aviators may find the field covered with fine dust. ~ As the plane starts down the run way, the propeller whirring, great clouds of dust. arise, getting into tlie eyes of airmen and spectators alike, and creating a dangerous situation.- « To reduce tbat danger so far as may be humanly possible, officials of the South Boston Airport are using calcinm chloride, a chemical that because of its affinity for moisture acis as a perfect dust layer, much in the same mannper of a moist blanket over the field. B
Since that action was taken some months ago the officials have breathed easier—in every sense of that expres-sion-——and have made it possible for spectators to observe takeoffs without peril to themselves or to the flicrs.
cient to take care of ordinary dust in the air. If that amount should be exceeded, the dust becomes too great to be handled by the .aucus and the dust penetrates into the decper parts of the body lining. Dust is of various kinds, but whether it is organic or inorganic in origin ‘makes no difference. What makes the dust particles dangerous is their shape. Particles that have sharp corners, such as dust from marble, metal, wood or stone, cut into the membrane very much as an old-fashioned knitting needle cuts into worsted and there the dust particles become fastened. The mucus fluid referred to passes over those particles, moving them to and fro, and causing the membrane to become tender and ther inflamed. . Should the pro¢ ss become continuous, as so often happens, serious sinus conditions result and in aggravated cases, tuberculosis may be their termination. That, in brief, is what happens. Scientists have tried with all the resources at their command to combat dust in the air, but so far, with a few exceptions, the results have not been fruitful: As a means of prevention, suggestions bhave been made in various quarters that the dust m® ht be laid with some ’sort\of' physical or chemical means and in many sections of the United States.municipalities have been laying .the dust with calcium chloride. That is a chemical capable of absorbing a high degree of moisture from the air, hygros~opic, it is called, which acts as a binder of dust on the highways. It ulso has great germicidal value. ;

Fir*tone Gum-Dipping Proceis
~"3877iee charis and otner siaiizdcal records maintasned wincs Firestona’s introduction of its exclusive GumDipping process, .prové beyond question that this famous new tire building method adds mileage, safety and comfort to a tire under all conditions,” says Elijah & Roe of Ligonier Firestone Service Dealers. '
" “We have demonstrated right here in Ligonier that the greatest enemy of tire-life is not the harsh grind of city streets, or even of travel-marked highways, but that it is the internal friction and heat generated by a tire in service that weakens its whole striicture causing blowouts or other failures. ' . “A tires flexes about a million times for each thousand miles of serivee. So in the old-style fabric tire when the threads started to saw against each other, the cdsing socn broke down. This eventually led to the development of the cord tire. “By changing the medind of construction from a tightiy to a loosely woven fabric it was found that the calendering process, by which rubber is forced in and about the cords, could be accomplished much more easily. As a result, tire cord-fabric cumo’,to be <:omposeq of heavy cords held together by fine threads. .
- "However a careful examination of the ordinary calenderd coird fabric showed Firestone engineers there were still places between the cords that were not insulated by rubber. Since it isn’'t possible to change the calendering process in order to surround each cord with rubber, Firestone proceeded to seek a method for insulating the cords before. the fabric was calendered. The result the world now knows as “Gum-Dipping” an exclusive Firestone process. :
Chevrolét News
An entirely new slant on the used car, clevating it to its rightful place in the industry, was taken at Detroit by . H. Grant vice president in_charge of sales of the Chevrolet: Motér company, in an interview just prior to sailing for a menth’s trip to Europe. As evidence of the growing importance of the used car ,Mr. Grant pointed out that durin gthe first quarter of 1928, when the Cheyvrolet dealer organization was moving 250,000 new cars, it also was delivering at retail more than 200,000 used cars. This was made possible by a changing attitude toward the used car on the part of both the automobile dealer and the public Mr. Grant said. “Where the automobile dealer formerly paid little attention to the used car” Mr. Grant declared, ‘‘the proportion of used car to new car sales has mounted so high that used cars are now uan important part of his business. Today practically all the direct dealers in the Chevrolet organization have Ducoing equipment with which they refinish used cars in a manner similar to the factory. Cars are gone over from head light to tail lamj by skilled mechanies trained in approved factory methods. The recoun ditioned cars bear an ‘O. K. Tag showing that every wvital part has been checked. They are then display ed attractively and lenient time pa, ments are made available to the pu: chager. e
“The public .owes directly to the used car the wide range of prices at which transportation may be purchased, and the wide variety of models from which selection may be made. If there were no such thing as a trade in price the owner, of ar automobile instead of turning it in on a new model, would drive it himself until its usefulness was spent, just as he now uses his furniture or his farm or garden implements. There would consequently be no used car market for the man who wants to buy a car at less than new car cost. Millions of present motorists who were attracted by used car prices would not nbwfown awtomobiles if there had been no used car market. : :
Oakland Produetion ihead of 1927 The Qakland Motor Car company is two and one-half months ahead of its 1927 production, it is announced by factory officials. :
The end of April marked the fourth consecutive month of record production which brought the company’s total for this year to 100,064 Oakland and Pontiac Sixes a figure which in 1927 was not attained until the middle of July. '
The 1928 fourimonth total of 100,004 cars is an increase of 83 per cent over the 54,653 cars which the company built during the first fouv months of last yvear. :
~ Although the percentage of gain was somewhat higher during Janunary February and:March, the April production of 27,061 cars remained 7,135 ahead of April 1927. This advance was scored despite the fact that production of the OQakland All-American Six was hampered during the early part of April by interruptions attending the transfer of operations from the old assembly line to the re-cently-completed new assembly building. :
The greater facilities provided by the new assembly and by the new Oak land Six shipping building, however, more than made up for the slight delay. o :
Paralleling the acceleration =of Oakland-Pontiac factory activities Is the steady growth of the dealer organization. The company now has more than five times as many dealers as it had only three years ago. With the arrival of seasonable. weather, dealer estimates of their May and June requirements are steadily rising it is reported by the sales department. i :
