Round - the - world airplane flights, altitude records and 300 mile an hour speeds attained by planes of 1933 are brought into vivid contrast by news items of the past. The days of air naviga tion's infancy, when aeronauts, as aviators were then termed, exulted if they were able to get their cumbersome flying machines so much as off the ground are recalled by the following New York dispatch published In The Statesman August 1, 1908, 25 years ago, of the French filer, Farman's success: "Rising from the ground like a giant bird and darting through the air at express train speed, Henri Farman's Aeroplane or heavier-than-air flying machine, made Its initial flight in this country late this afternoon at Brighton beach. It rose from an especially prepared 'dock' at the will of the inventor and after attaining a height of 25 feet flew straight ahead on an air line, finally alighting with ex quisite grace when the air pilot diminished the motive power. The landing provoked cheers. Farman was surrounded and li terally hugged by the jubilant aeronauts. "As a rival attraction to Far- nmn, Frank Hamilton, an Ameri can aeronaut, sailed his dirigible balloon into the race course. Cur ing his flight, the propellor broke and the balloon was bang ed against the grandstand, throw ing Hamilton out. Farman was the first person to go to his as sistance, and shook his rival warmly by the hand.

September 19 Red Cross Regional Conference. much appreciated by consumers in Palestine and the market there i is growing steadily, M. Ochshorn of Tel-Aviv. Palestine, declared yesterday while here on the first buying trip which has carried him to the Pacific coast. Mr. Och shorn, who has been a broker at Tel-Aviv for 25 years, was the guest of Walter, Jenks of the Wil lamette Valley Prune association, with whom he has dealt for many years. Importing conditions Into Palestine for American goods this year are especially favorable, Mr. Ochshorn stated, because of the more favorable exchange rate pre vailing on the dollar. The Pales tine pound Is guaranteed by the British government and keeps a parity with the British pound. Since America refused to export gold the exchange rate with Am erica has become 20 per cent more I favorable to the Palestine Import er."-" ' Mr. ' Ochshorn established his trading house in Palestine in 1915 and brokers goods to Palestine distributers. He says that Oregon prunes are ifell - received by the customer who buys them largely In 25 pound boxes as packed in Salem. Mr. Ochshorn very much enjoy ed his two - day stay, in Salem and expressed himself as very fav orably Impressed by the west. Al though an Austrian by birth he quired his knowledge of the lang uage following Great Britain's taking of Palestine under General Allenby during the world war, English occupation has been vast ly superior to Turkish rule, he states, and conditions in the Holy Lands have Improved greatly. Tel-Aviv, originally a suburb of Jaffa, is a new city, being only 24 years old. It has grown rapid ly, having now a total of 68,000 inhabitants and outranking Jaffa In total population. Large Quan titles of oranges are produced there and more than half of the 4,000,000-case output annually goes to England. Mr. Ochshorn's company has branches in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Petach-Tikvah, Beyrouth, Amman. secured a new propellor and sail ed away.M Of the then new idea of a mo tored balloon, which has since been developed into craft such as the Graf Zeppelin, The States man editorial writer on July 19 of the same year commented: "In several European coun tries and parts of the United States there is considerable in terest in the dirigible balloon, the belief being that it will be come an easy means of rapid transportation before many years, and will be especially useful in military affairs. However that may be, it will never have any value; that Is certain. No person or set of persons will be so fool ish as to risk life in a basket of a canvas airship as a means of transportation when the same dis tanceg can be covered by the present-day modes of travel on terra firma . . . "In America there Is little con cern over the matter, (military use of air travel), as no balloon that can be constructed Is cap able of crossing either the At lantic or the Pacific oceans. In deed, the time endurance of the most successful airships is limit ed and this condition is not like ly to be changed ... "Conditions of temperature as well as the force and directions of winds affect the buoyancy and dlrlgibility of the balloon, and as all these are exceedingly var iable, it becomes obvious that the uses of the airship will be most ly confined to leading military forlorn hopes and desperate enterprises." 2-Day Conference Of State Police Brought to Close The two - day conference call ed by Superintendent Charles P. Pray .for all' commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the state police ended here last night as the organization observed its second anniversary. Discussions of problems In law enforcement and new legislation were held by the more than 30 officers- who attended the meet ing. .
