SUSAN OF .THE17AVES by ALLEN EPPES The red-cap saluted and started away. "Good luck. Miss, he said. Thank you," said Susan. She looked at the Wave again, puzzled, wondering If she could be anyone she knew. Just then, the girl saw her and smiled. Susan smiled back. It would be nice to talk to her, she thought Perhaps she could get a few pointers that would help her. PIE girl got up and came down the aisle. "Hello. Miss Esterbrookl" "Hello I" said Susan, surprised. "Pon't tell me you're on your way to get into a uniform like mine?" the girl said. "Yes, I am." "I thought I heard the red-cap say something like that. You don't recognize me, do you?" "You look awfully familiar," Su san said.

Anyone who has visited a large modern airport or terminal sucn as the one here in Washington cannot help but be Impressed with the great progress being made in aviation. Planes, air ports and terminal facilities are all relatively new and clean. They appeal greatly to the aesthetic senses. The efficiency and the courtesy of all ranks of employees, even when laboring with the difficulties of war-time operations, is impressive. As a result of the war, hundreds of thousands of men and women have been Introduced to air transport. Their enthusiasm for this entire industry still in Its childhood forecasts an expan sion which will make the past age of railroading , look sick, Manufacturing Vs. Transport Companies - I had much rather own the stocks of the air transport com panies than those of the com panies which manufacture air planes. The basic reason for this is that the air transport com panies are primarily distributors and merchandisers of a highly efficient and convenient form of transportation. They are much like the chain store, on which I am also bullish, in that they have no problems concerning fixed charges, production con tractracts or labor. The air transport companies will be carrying passengers and froight regardless of the ups and downs of the airplane manufacturing companies. Of course, work will not stop abruptly at the end of the war in the case of the manufacturing companies. Larger and tougher bombing planes and faster pur suit planes and flight planes will continue to be built. There will also be some reconverting work in changing over present bomb ers to freight and passenger planes. There has not yet been any cancellation of plane con tracts such as we have seen in the machine tool industry. But these are bound to come ulti mately, although an attempt will be made to employ as many peo ple In the manufacturing com panles as possible. Taxes are also a much greater handicap to these concerns than to the air trans port companies. On the other hand, the low market price of these manufacturing company stocks may have discounted much of this grief. Growth Realisation ' Must Walt War End Passengers desiring to use com mercial air lines greatly now ex ceed present capacity. If it were not for lack of equipment, pas senger air mileage would now be at least double that of a year ago. On many lines, express and air mall poundage have doubled; First Battlefield Baby (Acmt Radio-Telephto) The first baby to be born at an American Field Hospital in Italy during this war Is shown with her mother, Therese Russo and Nurse Lieut. Doris Dale. Two days after being brought to hospital with shrapnel wounds she gave birth to the child. The baby was nicknamed "K Ration Tessie" by Americans as the box she Is using as a bassinet Is a K ration box. Signal Corps Radlo-Telephoto.

AND THINGS THEY WAr-tT ' RESTRICTIONS ARE Air Transport Outlook Favorable but while the war lasts not much growth can be expected in pas senger service. However, with the war lid off, I expect to see planes still booked to capacity even though more quipment will then be available. Equipment of all kinds, however, as well as pilots and operating personnel, will be plentiful. The availabil ity of these should help operat ing costs even though taxes re main heavy. The air lines have, perhaps, the most progressive manage ments of any industry. They are learning much from war-time transportation problems. Inci dentally, they are contributing much to the successful conduct of the war. Of the future posi tion in world transport of our air lines, there can be no doubt. This Is witnessed by the inaug uration of daily transcontinental all-cargo flights, and by the ap plications on file for trans-At lantic routes. In exchange for "lend lease' 'and other Allied aid we may ultimately secure Dermanent air bases in the West Indies, the Pacific and else where. Ostensibly these will be for our defense, but actually they will be used for commercial purposes on a rental basis by our air lines. Economic Advantaqes In Air Transportation The history of transportation shows that from its earliest stages some "roadbed" had to be pro vided for besides equipment. For example, barges require that canals be dug; railroads require roadbeds and bridges: while au tomobiles reaulre fine highways. Fpr air travel no such exoensive outlays are necessary. The con struction of airports and termin als, aside from equipment, is the only "use" expense to which air lines are put. Usually they bear only a portion of this cost. Cer tainly, after the war, they will secure the use of many fields and terminal facilities without much expense Involved. The airplane has already giv en us greater speed than any mode of transportation that pre ceded it. It is our most efficient unit of travel, yet Its perfection is still in Its infancy. Certainly, in the near future, the conve nience, safety, comfort and flexi bility of air transport will im prove greatly. The fact that planes move in the free medium of the air Is a basic economic advantage not often considered. My bet is that air transport will exnand far more rapidly than did the railroads and the trac tions and that this will be ac complished at far less propor tional expense. While the trans port stocks have had a steep market rise, there is little ques tion as to their basic soundness and future popularity. Events Br CLUYA3 WUJAMS TO EAT WHEN OTT SU) SlU 4 . T lM0-ti-1 ? are very favorable for the entire air transport Industry. I advise hanging on to the stocks of the four largest companies provided one properly diversifies and dis tributes his investment among these four. These few companies handle 81 of the air transport business. To get a similar large Interest and proper diversifica tion in railroad transportation an investor would be obliged to purchase stock In nearly one hundred-separate roads.
