Committee Makes Final Re
view of Need and Possi
bilities New Air Traffic
Facilities Rely on Med
ford Spirit.
The imperative need of a class
A airport in Med ford, that will
accomodate nny make of air craft
for many years that will be offic
ially recognized and used by pas
senger, express and air-mail lines,
has been proven beyond doubt.
The reasons for abandonment of
the present field, because it is too
small, with no chance for onlarge-
ment, owing to the lay of the land,
the high-powered electric tele
phone and telegraph lines In close
proximity and because it has been
con dt-m nod by the ' government,'
have been explained.
The location of the proposed new
site, three miles north of the city,
after careful Investigation of all
sites by the airport committee and
government experts and its being
pronounced aa ideal by those of
ficials, has been set forth.
The cast of the port has been
shown, over the official slgnaturo
of County Assessor Coleman, to bo
infinitely small to all taxpayers,
especially In comparison with the
benefits to he derived by the, city
and everyone.
The receipts of the port, from
companies and all kinds of con
cessions, rentals for buildings and
hangars and storage of planes have
been estimated by reliable sources
to he $15(10 in excess of expendi
ture for the first year.
The estimated payroll of govern
ment employes who will be station
ed here, if the port is established,
salaries of pilots, mechanics and
other employes (not of the port it
self) for the first year Is $80,000.
It has been shown that the gov
ernment will expend in the neigh
borhood of $ 1 00,000 on a stiiier
radio station, upper nir weather
bureau and beacon lights, all
of
which have lieen ordered Installed,
provided . the city builds the air
port. The mayor nnd city council mem
bers have stated over their signa
tures that Ihe council committee
v HI secure the services of an ex
pert airport engineer, will super
intend the construction and will
only issue bonds In the amount
necessary for the actual expendi
tures. The proposition is now up to the
citizens of Medford to decide, by
their votes tomorrow, whether they
are going to maintain the enviable
position the city has acquired all
over the country for being "air
minded" and progressive nnd are
going to keep pace with the rapid
onward march of air development,
or whether they are going to give
up to their neighbors who are

NKW YORK, ApiM 1. P The
consensus of fashion experts who
watched Faster itaraden is that
modish skirls arc just a trifle
longer.
Howing to a recent decree from
Paris, many of the fashionable
paradeir. along Fifth avenue wore
dressy that came an tne'- or two
below the knee. A few that were
emphatically longer were seen.
Here and there were riistlnclly low
hemline.- HhdwfhH .it "tendency "'to'1
dip In uneven fid lis. There were
also plenty of ultra short skirts.
Shoes were so variegated that
they often struck the eye before
the other components of tho cos
tume. Purple, green, pink, beigo
and steel blue suedes were the
rule. lavender kid nnd polka
dotted footwear proved startling.
Reptile skins were popular.
Most of the women had cos
tumes in which blali. relieved by
liberal dashes of white, predomin
ated. All shades of brown and tho
new steel blue found favor. Loose
ly woven tweed ensembles In
browns and heather mixtures were
among the smartest outfits.
Hats took a distinct step toward
the novel. Their variety of sbapo
and their brilliant colors, ranging
from scarlet to a greenish yellow
called abslntlie, 1 m mediate! y
caught the eye. Modish skull caps,
showing nary a wisp of hair and
making faces appear a trifle harsh
were popular.
Novelty jewelry such as heavy
gold and silver chains and clank
ing bracelets added a note of final
ity to most costumes.
The men also made quite a
showing. More than ever before
one saw high silk toppers, some of
them with crowns of black crepe
do chine; striped trousers, cutaway
coats, grey gloves,- grey vests, black
and while ties and stiff shirts.
(I ray gloves and snappy snake
wood canes were everywhere In
evidence.
