There has been a great deal said about landing fields, some of it is true and some of it is not so true. Some people have the mis taken idea that most any field 1? not so true. Some people have the mistaken idea that most any field is good enough for an airplane tc land on. Well there are good landing fields out in the desert; but they do not help right here ir the cities. Many cities are awake to the new "travel-by-air" era and have already established airports. Salem has been content with doing practically nothing so far and a a result is not on the air map. The way to get on the air map of the United States is to vote 1 OOX yes and so lend every support to the establishment of an appropriate landing field. This brings up a story writter by Don Rose and recently publish ed in the Aero Digest. It is ver appropriate at this time and so i given as follows: "If Winter comes, can Spring bt far behind?" This may sound Hk a fool question, but as a matter o fact it is the plaintive bleat of : spring poet, and If he really want: to know I assure him that it can At the present moment and in thif particular longitude, latitude am' altitude, spring is two weeks ir back of my personal preferences Winter still has me bogged dowr and wallowed in the mire. The sun looks down more kindly than o. yore, but the frost is not yet out from under my feet and the work is thinly upholstered ' in mad wherefore I often wish I were t duck or else had the wings of ar eagle. For I am tired of winter anr feel quite seedy and secondhand in need of a general tuning up refinlshing and top overhaul. 1 have put up a long and brave fight against weather, colds in the head and the appetite of a furnace, but now I feel like Charlie Holman coming out of his 1433rd loop 1 have had enough of it. I want t sit down on a grassy sward and talk baby-talk to a buttercup. There have been, of course, som symptoms that the present glacial period will sometime come to an end. The first robin showed up some time ago, and what a dis gusted bird he turned out to- be with hi3 undercarriage covered with mud and his tail struts sag ging. The papers are full of base ball news out of Florida, as though anybody cared. The juicy sap unning up the maple tree3 and the ordinary sap like you and me running down the weather man. The suburbanites are getting ready with shovel and hoe to go out and play in the mud, while their wive begin to regard the hat -shops with a longing and loving eye. The Ides of March have come and gone and the income tax collector has done his dirty work. As a matter of fact he didn't get a thing out of me. For one thing I didn't have any thing. For another, you can't col lect an income tax where there's no income. For a third, I have enoorh exemntions to keen the governmental wolf from the door for a long time to come. They are nice little exemptions and all take their mother, but they certainly do baggie the Internal Revenue department, which makes It nice to have them around at this season of the year. It must have been tough, however, for the aeronau tical enterprises of our country at this day of reckoning. Some of them have exhausted so much in genuity all year in showing a book profit that it mast have been dif ficult to break out into tragic tears ef distress and deficit when the government came round with the hat. Most of them, however, hare an orphan child or so en their hands for which they can claim exemption, and since it is one of the traditions of our n at ten that there is no taxation without misrepresentation they probably 'Our Chicks Live to make your Urine" e's Petland , 273 State V GtHBiT? suits mMt ia,o St ! 1 1 nil mm i LSiiin-Siiiini. Vnirwl IflIP IT rVfr-f-'TTl T'Tll'" mm WHICH w managed to show somehow that the government owed them money.! So all these sign of the season assure me that spring may yet come again, with, its balmy breeses and balmy flowers and balmy spring poets, and planes and pilots airing the 1928 crop of cash cus tomers. I have, in fact, already completed my annual spring tour of inspection of the local fields and airports , in search of dirt for this and other discourses. Of dirt I found plenty, mostly diluted with rainwater and spread soupily around the fields in the space as signed for the parking of the cus tomer's cars. Crossing this ' on duckboarda in the best manner of trench warfare in 1916. I discover ed my long-lost friends in the pil oting business, still playing poker game I left them at last fall and innocently curious a sto what has happened since they last came up for air. I told them that the Lone Eagle had turned schoolmaster to Congressmen while the Loan Eagle hid flown to Cuba, and they seem ed Quite interested. At one field they were feling pretty low because Uuey had been forbidden to fish in the runways, but on the whole their good humor was unimpair ed and their spirits excellent, re ggrdless of the labels. There is no better argument for. air travel than the experience of visiting an airport, preferably a' municipal airport, in the winter I A municipal airport is a forlorn hope in real estate, selected by a committee of politicians and real tors and dedicated and consecrated by His Honor the Mayor, who hasn't been seen there since. It lies at the tail end of the trolley system where no trolley ever goes unless it w lost or intoxicated, or it may be reached by road if you happen to have an amphibian au tomobile or can ride a camel. Ex perienced explorers anxious to reach it will rise with the dawn and take off in a deep-sea going taxicab, and unless they get com pletely bogged down in the last long mile will arrive at the edge of no man's land about noon, pro ceeding thence on foot or all fours. The field can usually be distin guished from the sewage disposal olant and the gas works by the fact that it has airplanes on it in various conditions of deshabille.! of these Eastern United States. It nd by the countless thousands of is nice to know that although we nterested spectators and eager have twice the rainfall of London, passengers awaiting their turn yet London manages to be much iround the hot-dog counter.

And may also be marked by the sad when other comfort fails we can bleached bones of Ford cars by always amuse ourselves by read he way. left there by visitors who ing the weather man's rash pro vanted no more of elemental high-' phecies when it is too late for vays and have gone away from him to do anything about them, '.here by air. Bad weather does cramp the There are two ways of looking airplane's style, but it Is also it a municipal airport. One way true that the plane is blamed for !s to walk out on it. being careful much that is none of its business, not to lose your rubbers, and justj Fog at present stops it, just as it look at it. The other is to enter stops many things an slows down the office and study the drawing everything on earth and Bea. hung on the wall, which repre- storms drive it to cover, as they sents the airport as it will be when drive automobiles off the streets he city council remembers it long and pedistrians into subways and enough to spend some money on it. This drawing was made by a land t -ape architect with more imagina ion than conscience, and over- looks only one detail aside from of rights of way kept clear by the impossibility of separating the snowplough or shovel. All it asks -ity from any money which is is a fair place to sit down in when that when all this is done and! it ends ts journey, and an ade finlshed the airport will still be at: quate hook-up with surface trans the other end of nowhere on the portation. All it needs, in fact, is far side of the city dump. But a good arport In the right place th evisitor will be properly im- maintained with one-third of the pressed, and having taken an air care and cost demanded by a rail ride over hte sewage plant will, road terminal, and it will get make his way by hook or crook. j through with a regularity close to by canal boat, trolley and forced that of a railroad and with corn marches back to his anxious fam- plete independence of track and Hy. passing on the way half a' road. Until there are such airports dozen wide open spaces marked off wherever they are needful and for building lots, wherein an air - piane niigni sit aown very com- fortably without catching a cold in its hand quarters. He may ask, perhaps, why none of these were set aside for hte city's air terminal, but nobody will take any notice of him. The absurdity of hiding airports in the back yards of our cities is obvious. Some day, of course, there will be a lot of expensive re pentance over it. Since it will be difficult to move the city out to the airports it will be necessary to cut a hole in the city by wiping oat wbete btscfca of building and loan mortgages to let in the air. at which time - our prospective grandchildren will have something to say about our shortsighted stu pid ity. The worst of It is that we 'Should know better. We have been through it before. When the gesoline engine got to going right and gave all oar cities a bad at tack of auto-intoxication, we were compelled to cut bigger and bet ter highways clear through our metropolitan midriff. London, for instance, got so badly tangled up in its own traffic that its Inhab itants learned to cross the road by leaping lightly from bus to has. and at last two great roads were slashed through the city regard less, to relieve the pressur.e Phil adelphia cared a bad case of hard ening of the arteries in the same fashion, and other American cities are doing or must do the same thing. So you would suppose we! might take a hint that a new means of transportation calls for foresight from the city fathers. Unfortunately these city fathert rarely see beyond the end of their noses or beyond the pork and beans prepared for all good poli ticians, and will therefore, nc doubt, continue to pass, the back "Tubes Tested "; .Free IMPROVE YOUR RADIO WITH NEW TUBES to the coming generation. And in j the meantime our transport planes most dump their passengers some where in the suburbs and let them get borne as best they can. cSomehow this atand-o fitness of airports seems particularly vi cious Just now, since winter has a way of disclosing our weaknesses, whether they be in our bronchial tabes, or ancestral overshoes, or nnr transnortation systems. De spite all our civilized precautions: winter makes it tought to get, about. And let no prophets or gloom hang the dismal crepe on aviation because it also shrings' a little from the winter's blast' and comes in out of the wet so; far as It can. So do all beasts and birds and men and machines. 1 whether they travel on shoes, j wheels or web-feet. Cities spread! a skin of concrete over the face! of mother earth, but even on this the wheels of winter traffic fclipj and slide, and cold feet are slow-1 ed up by snow, slush and full-1 flowering gutters. Storms slowj down ships of the sea and fog! blinds them and hangs them up in' harbor. For every automobile that j stays -on the rangerous road, three; are hibernating in their parages.! Even a duck is a dismal and disa pointed beast when its natural; element is frozen over and our d family cat cuts out the night Hfe while snow lies on the ground, Only the railroad carries on un- nerturbed by anything short of a' blizzard, and it took fifty years ( for it to learn the trick. So why in the name of Jupiter Pluvius doj we turn pessimistier than usual; because the airplane is by prefer-! ence a fair weather bird? So in deed are we all. Bad weather is our natural enemy, and it takes toll of our temper, our time and our pocketbook, If possible we run away from it to Florida, for instance, and sit in the shade of an imported palm tree and ad dress picture postcards to the folks back home, saying that we wish they were there, which is an other prevarication. If we can't we console ourselves with the thought that it might be worse. It is pleasant, for example, to re flect that Cherrapunji in India has an annual rainfall of 426 in ches compared to the modest 50 bad language. But when the storm is past the plane is free again, free to go where it pleases regardless of mud or snow, and independent : logical, the new wings ofciviliza- tion are clipped and Its srut pro- gress feels the drag of the heavy heels and web-feet of the old hab its of travel. Airports, unfortunately, must be put where they are need, and not merely on any bald 6pot that happens to be good for nothing else. Since the newspapers have added some aeronautical words to their vocabulary, every farmer with a 30-acre field which won't grow turnips thinks he has a landing field. So he has, but who wants to land there? For that matter there are some splendid fields in the sandy desert of South Arabia or on the Steppes of Rus sia, if you care to go that far. It happens, however, that airplanes must go where people are or want to be, which means - cities, large and small. The bigger' the city the bigger the need, and the big ger the problem, and the bigger also the city's income with which to meet the problem. But the new need for airports brings a new chance to smaller cities and towns, and if they wake up to it soon enough a new map will be needed inside of a generation. The old cities of the world sat down by the rivers; the cities of the! past generation or two have fol-J lowed the railroads; the cities of i the new era will be strung along I'LL SAY THE ARGO ISNT CLOSED Come to dinner tonight and see Baked Ham Tonight FLORAL DESlfciNS CUT FLOWERS, PLANTS GOLD FISH, BIRDS C F.

A thermometer is an instrument devised principally as a basis of suburban arguments, since two front-porch thermometers rarely agree on anything except that they never say euch weather. A bar ometer hangs on the wall and is tapped thoughfully until It goes up or down or merely wiggles, from which one may draw what conclusions seems advisable. A hygrometer Is an instrument for measuring the humidity, and Is us ually constructed from a strand of human hair. When the air is dry the hair shortens; when it be comes damp the bair lengthens. When the humidity is very bad indeed, the logical thing to do. of course, is to give the hygrometer a haircut. MT. CREST ABBEY MAUSOLEUM VAULT ENTOMBMENT LLOYD T. RIGDOJf, Mngr.
