A small airplane, flying over Mar
shall, Mo.. In a series of successiui
t?Rts this week, presaged the pro
cluctlon of low-priced planes with
standard automobile engines.
1 A two-plRrrhtph-winp monoplane,
v the llttlo ship was powered with
a regular Plymouth engine, which
performed perfectly aa the plane
went throufih its tests.
As the result of the tests, the
United States department of com
merce placed an order for another
Plymouth -powered ship to be con
st ructed immediately. The order
was placed through the Amplex Di
vision of Chrysler Motors.
The new ship will be priced much
lower than the average plane on
(the market, todny. It was pointed
out that it alo will offer lower
maintenance and replacement costs
because engine parts will be avail
able at automobile dealers.
The plane Is capable erf a maxi
mu m speed of 1 20 miles an hour
and a cruising speed of approxi
mately 100 miles an hour. It has
dual controls for instruction pur
poses. The plane weighs 1 .078 pounds,
minus gasoline, water and oil. It la
equipped with a Plymouth instru
ment panel. The automobile instru
ments have been converted for air
craft use.
The enaine in the plane is a
jetandard six-cylinder Plymouth mo
I tor. developed by Chrysler engineers.
It was selected, after an investiga
tion of other automobile engines,
because of its favorable power-weight
ratio. This engine has high pres
sure lubrication, a feature that
keeps it in perfect operating con
dition at sustained high speeds and
makes it particularly desirable for
aircraft use.
STATES REGULATE
SCHOOL CARRIERS
WASHINGTON. D. C. May 25.
(Spl.) Protection of lives of school
children particularly when being tran
sported in school buses to and from
their classes, has received widespread
consideration from state legislatures
holding sessions during the early part
J of Hits year, "the American Automo
' bile association reported today.
Basing its statement on a recent
survey of legislative trends, the na
tional motoring body said that some
2ft bills dealing specifically with the
question of providing safety for paa
sencers In school buses have been
Introduced in state legislatures dur
ing recent or current sessions.
"The importance of this subject,"
said Thoi. P. Henry of Detroit. Mich.,
president of the A. A. A., "can be
readily appreciated when we remem
ber that 68.000 buses transport near
ly 2.500 .000 children daily to and
from consolidated schools throughout
the country.
"Most of the measures Introduced
In the state legislatures are designed
to prevent danger of collision of a
School bus with other vehicles or to

While some of the proposals may be
impractical, the objective Itself Is en
tirely praiseworthy.
"A bill introduced in Maryland
would require all motor vehicles to
stop behind school buses loading or
unloading passengers, while similar
measures advanced in Oregon and
New Hampshire would compel vehi
cles to slow down when passing a
stopped school bus.
Nearly all states have measures
requiring school buses to come to a
complete stop at grade crossings.
'The greater portion of other pend
ing legislation deals larcely with con
struction of safety features Into the
school bus. Kansas. North Carolina
and North Dakota propose compulsory
safety glass In all school buses; Geor
gia and Iowa propose safety glass.
and steel construction of the bus and
Indiana proposes safety glass, steel
construction and regulnr Inspection
by traffic authorities. Thirteen states
already require inspection.
"Bills introduced In Indinna. Kan
sas, New York. Ohio and Utah would
reijuiie school buses to be painted
red, white and blue, so that they
would be easily recognizable.
"The matter of providing insurance
for school buses has received, and is
continuing to receive, attention bv
legislatures. Compulsory insurance
for school buses has been proposed In
Ohio and Vermont. Eight states al
ready require the, carrying of such
Insurance.

will tell the story of Ford methods and give you
a clear and fascinating picture of the making of a
modem automobile.
It is seldom that so much of the panorama of Ford
activities is presented beneath a single roof. We
believe you will find it one of the outstanding points
of interest at this splendid San Diego Exposition.
