ABOUT AVIATION
Home idea of tho remarkable
growth of aviation since tho
epochal flight of tho Wright broth
ers on December 17, l!Mi3. may be
obtained from the following brief
outline of the position of the in
dustry today:
A, minimum of 32fi4 planer are
operating In tbe V. H. There are
a total of 3.r,K4 jdlots. ' A total of
201 1 new commercial airplanes
and 3G military ami naval planes
were built In tho United States lant
year, an Increase of OS. 4 percent
over liliNJ.
largest production by one com
pany was 4fi4 planes in 1027.
Commercial airlines, '24 ; com
mercinl air routes l:',fil'7 iuIIch;
mall routes 77ii3 miles; express
routeM 7IK miles; passe n g e r
routes 7L'tr miles; Improved air
ways 7000 miles
iiy June of this year, air mall
planeH of the United Mtates will
be flying 25,000 miles dally a din
tance equal to tbe circumference
of tbe earth at the equator. With
80 station stops thene planes will
be serving trade areas that em
brace 62,300,000 people.
There are on record more than
four thousand fields in the United
KtateH.on which lauding! can be
made owned by states, munici
palities,' corporal loon, clubs, com
missions and Individuals.
Already the United Ktates de
partnient of commerce has entab
llHhed an airway division with bea
con lights marking tbe trunk lines
from coast to coast and north to
south, with dally mail travelling
from coast to count in 30 hours.
It tiles of InteiHtate commerce
have been applied to the naviga
tion of the air and all dependable
pilots and their pianos are exam
ined nnd licensed by the govern
ment. Air mail poundage is showing
gradual Increase, figures for Janu
ary l'JL'7 being 7:t,:'.ra against 13H,-
115 In June 1!H!7.
The weight of mall carried on
airways between New York and
San Francisco with some duplica
tion, during I !i!7, was 750,000
pounds. The value of bank eheckn
transmitted was npproxlmately
$7.200,OOU.OOO. Mall and express
included publications, photographs
jewelry, moving picture films,
snmpleH.
These figures are for mall and
xpress only, exclusive of freight;
(me line alone, operating between
Detroit and Cleveland and Cleve
land and Detroit and Chicago
transported In IWl'fi. a total of
1.730.000 pounds of freight.
The planes of one American air-
express company fly farther In a
single day than all the combined
lights of the laifthansa lines In
Oernuiny and nearly twice as fat
as the combined flights of the Im
perial Airways of Kngtaud.
Casualties in scheduled airway
flying are already comparatively
rare. On our national airway
under the supervision of the army
1.00,000 miles have been flown
with only oirb serious accident,

L PRODI
According to a statement mnde
today by 1'rosident A. H. Krskinc
of tho Studebaker Corporation of
America production and sales of
Studebaker built cars during April
amounted in approximately 14.ruo
as against JL'.OOU In April. Ill J 7.
Studebaker sales for every month
since September have shown an
increase over the corresponding
mouth of the previous year.
The progress Studebaker has
been making from the standpoint
of sales is paralleled by the pro
gress it has made In establishing
new speed and endurance records
during the past eight months. The
most notable of theso records was
made last fall by a Studebaker
Commander when It traveled 2 5,
000 mtlcH in less than l!3.00o min
utes. Nothing else ever traveled
so far so fast.
Dast mouth further performance
achievements were established by
the Studebaker Dictator, Krsklne
Six and President Kigbt. A stock
model Dectator traveled 5000 miles
ill Icnm tb.-iii 4KIHI inlniitfM ti ruf-m-.l
! for stock cars under $14o. The
j Krsklne Six achieved 10o miles in
t less than 100a minutes, (in the
j lats day of April, the President
! broke all closed car endurance and
'speed records for the period of 5
to JO 00 miles and 1 to i'4 hours.
; The average speed for tbe entire
j run was 7l'.5-5 miles per hour.

Judging from iho naked neck of

IS LIVING AGAIN
Old timers among true lovers of
horseflesh will remember "Poetry
of Motion" with a thrill of unal
loyed pleasure. It was nearly iwo
seore years ago that this great
champion among f Ive-gaited sad
dle horses stirred the hearts of
a pplaudlng thousands of fashion
able people as she pirouetted on
proud parade, prancing around the
tanbark rings of the greatest horse
shows In the land.
And now, in this newer automo
tive age, owners of the modern
steel steed are breaking out into
poetry about their four-wheeled
mounts.
Here is a real springtime tribute
to a motor car. just received by
Walter P. Chrysler from Ityron J.
King, of Pittsburg, who says:
"I have been driving one of your
'71!' sedans." It has seemed to mo
from the very first time that I
took tho wheel in my hand that
Chrysler cars possess a distinct
personality, a personality that
changes with the character of the
driver, with the season of the year,
with the hour of the day.
"The Utile ver.se below expresses
my regard and appreciation for the
Chrysler motor car:
"SILVKK WINGS"
"Two gleaming wings on a silver

IN FULL FORCE
Spring is here, and as the roads
'dry the highway department be
! gin coating them with oil an a
! dust preventative. This is rewult
i ing In a great many complaints
due to the fnct that oil on cars Is
jboth difficult and expensive to re
1 move, and the motorist who trav
i els over an oiled road finds It
almost Impossible to prevent oil
I from being thrown or splashed on
i his car.
The state highway department
I has co-operoteT" with the Oregon
'state Motor association In attempt
ing to arrive at some solution for
the oil nuisance, and the following
enters have been given by the
highway department to tho various
oiling crews responsible for the
work, with the Idea of making oil
ing operations as safe and con
venient as possible.
"All operations, whether In oil
ing or bituminous macadam work,
will proceed over one-half of the
width of roadway at a time. Where
ever possible detours will bo pro
vided and maintained. Under these
circumstances the nil will be
placed on one-half of the roadway
at a time so ns to permit local
people to use tho sections without
becoming splashed with oil. When
detours are provided for all but
local traffic, one way traffic will
not be maintained. Flagmen will
warn the occasional motorist to be
careful In passing. Furthermore,
there will be other sections carry
ing light traffic where there are no
I detours available, in which tho
shoulders are of sufficient width to
permit two. way traffic, after one
half of ttie roadway lgas been
oiled. Flagmen will slop each one
and advise him of the necessity of
using cure in passing. On heavy
traveled roads, whether there is
room for two way traffic after one
strip lias been oiled or not, one
way traffic will bo maintained so
as to avoid any possible accident.
In all cases the distance of one
way traffic will be kept ns short ns
possible. Itcfore the first oiled sec
tion Is opened to truffle nnd the
oiling of the. second half begins,
sufficient screenings will be placed
on any wet oil so ns to prevent
splashing. "
