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

"Yes, I am."

The Future of
Biboin Says Postwar
Washington, D. C. (Spl.)
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

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

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

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

are very favorable for the entire

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

business. To get a similar large
