Forward Stride Is Shown in Scheduled Transporta tion During Last Year Airways System Growing By COL. CLARENCE M. YOUNO (Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics) WASHINGTON (AP) The aero nautics Industry progressed In many ways during 1932, particularly In the field of scheduled air transportation. Preliminary, estimates Indicate that the air lines carried more than a half million passengers and exceeded the total for 1931; that air express gained over the 1,150,000 pounds transported In 1931; and that air mall has ap proached the total of 9,600,000 pounds carried the previous year. In this development, the aeronau tics branch was privileged to play a part. Its work during the year in cluding the following: Air line pilots were examined for scheduled air transport ratings, cer tifying to knowledge of meteorology and air navigation and ability to fly TAILSPIN TOMMY BOUND TO WIN The Hunting Trip WE'RE (BNL.V HALPA' 1 WILL.

The federal airways system was In creased to 19,500 miles of lighted and radio -equipped air routes by the 2000 miles authorized for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1932. In view of the need for governmental economy, no new airway construction, now Is being undertaken. A system for transmission of wea ther maps six times dally over the teletypewriter circuits of the federal airways system was developed and placed In operation. A photo-electric cell apparatus, for switching beacon lights on whenever daylight falls below a predetermined intensity was adopted for a number of beacons. New Beacon Lamp Developed. A new and more powerful type of lamp was developed for the. beacons. A new type of radio marker beacon to assist pilots In locating depart ment of commerce Intermediate land ing fields under conditions of poor visibility, was developed. Experimental work begun In 1931 on the development of craeh-realst-ant fuel tanks for aircraft was con cluded. Development work was completed on an air traffic control projector, for use In directing aircraft movements with red and green flashes. . How to Get Kid of Ants.

WILLIAMSON Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (AP) Busy hurrying crowds, brightly light ed shop windows and the bustle of swift traffic attracted and amused Calvin Coolidge as almost nothing else did. While president, he found it easiest to cast aside the duties of office by a brisk before-dinner walk Into the downtown shopping and business sec tions of the capital after the day.'s work was done. Day after day his routine for the walk was little altered. The great front doors of the White House would be swung open. Walking so swiftly It was almost with difficulty that his secret service guard kept pace with him, Vie then chief executive would stride around the treasury building and Into brightly lighted "P" street. Rarely did he take friends with him, but Colonel Edward Starling of the secret service would fall In step beside him and speak only when spoken to. Along the narrow thoroughfare he would walk with hands clasped be hind his back. Sometimes a diffi cult problem bowed .his head. Most often, however, he sought out FORD TO THERE V;OF?KIM-' MOT EA.T1M- j. i around while the- wfflw a mm (wSiSmapor rwa the store windows and would stop sometimes for minutes at a time to see the displays? Frequently he would pause several nights In suc cession at the same window which bad particularly Interested him to view the display again. The people with whom he liked to mingle often recognized him. Women would bow slightly and men would respectfully raise their hats. Often he passed on unnoticed. , "It's the president" was the awe stricken remark of many as he came face-to-face with them or stood quietly waiting for a traffic signal to change. Once a bicycle policeman took It upon himself to ride ahead and see to It that the traffic signs were turned properly for the president, but Mr. Coolidge objected when he began to be an object of notice and the officer was thanked by the White House for his solicitude and asked not to do It again. Once an automobile from a distant state drew hastily to the curb. A man leaped from It and started to ward the president. The secret ser vice men closed in. The motorist asked the president for directions to a well known hotel. Patiently the chief executive traced the route for him ves, L kkjow vour Yj v rvter LicrKik. irz. t ICW.
