'SOON CARRY FUG
ON WORLD TRIPS
.Washington, Aug. 28 (U.R)
Pan American Airways soon
may be carrying the United
states flag on the first round-
the-world commercial air route
in aviation history.
Civil aeronautics board exam'.
iners recommended yesterday
that the pioneer international
carrier be licensed to fly west
ward across the central Pacific
to Calcutta from San Francisco
and Los Angeles.
The board recently granted
Pan American'i present routes
to complete "a round-the-world
service by an American carrier."
"Round-the-world cruises by
air will substantially reduce the
time that was required for such
cruises before the war and will
make possible a maximum of
time for the visiting of foreign
countries with minimum of
transit time," the examiners
said.
What they meant was that
some day, not too far off, you
may be able to buy a ticket
from Pan American at New
York and two weeks later arrive
in San Francisco or Los Angeles
having visited:
Newfoundland, Ireland, Bri
tain, Belgium, Germany, Czech
oslovakia, Austria, Hungary,
Yugoslavia, Romania. Bulgaria,
Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran,
Afghanistan, India, Thailand,
Hong Kong, China, Japan, Mid
way, and Honolulu.
If you want to spend a few
days in any of these places you
just wait for another Clipper.
The examiners estimated that
there would be enough round-the-world
travel for five sched
ules a week using aircraft of the
Constellation (55 - passenger)
class.

Secret of Birds'
Climatic Flight
Sought by School
Evanston, 111. (U.R) Dr. Albert
Wolfson, Northwestern Univer
sity zoology Instructor, is trying
to find out why birds fly north
in winter and south in summer.
Contrary to the popular belief
that birds begin to feel a tniie
chilly each autumn and so head
south. Wolfson holds that chang
ing day's lengths alter the pitui
tary glands.
The change in gland activity
stores uo extra fat for me trip,
each autumn and spring. With
out the fat, the birds dont mi
grate.
To test his belief, Wolfson has
released 25 sparrows, all tagged
and marked with a bright yel
low extra tail-feather. He trap
ped the birds early in Mav on
their trip north, when they were
fat and full of energy.
The feathered migrants lost
weight while in captivity. If the
zoologists theory is correct, the
weight loss will keep the birds
from finishing their trek north.
The public and bird experts
are keeping lookout for Wolf
son's sparrows, to see whether
they turn tip in their normal
Canadian, Wisconsin and Minne
sota summer haunts, or decide
they prefer to stick to the sunny
climate of northern Illinois.

Security For Each

when he, his wife and three-year-old
daughter came to
Cleveland from Hungary. Door
