.AIRSHIP MAY UNITE
WITH MOTOR BOATS
JOINT MANEUVERS PROPOSED
BY DICK FERRIS
Wire Sent to Senators In Washington
Asking Permission for knaben-
shue to Cooperate in Ex-
periments

Dick Ferris wired Senators Perkins and Flint
last night asking that steps be taken to allow
cooperative maneuvers by the torpedo boats
al Venice and Roy Knabenshue's airship. Fer
ris and Knabenshue believe that experiments
of value may be taken up on this line, and
the latter Is willing to cooperate at his own
expense.
No definite plans have been made as reply
from Washington is awaited. II the suggestion
is taken up Knabenshue will start from Chutes
park, going direct to the beach or harpor
where the torpedo boats may be located ana
an arranged program will be carried out.
Aeronauts have observed marked difference
In moisture even In crossing large rivers, and
maneuYering over the sea will call for careful
calculation on Knabenshue's part, partieu-
larly in regard to the action Of the gas He
wishes to demonstrate what can be done by
an airship in making trip from Los Angeles
to and oyer the ocean, and probably will go to
one Of the beaches this winter even II Ferris .
Idea of a mock combat with the torpedo fleet
should not be found feasible at this time.

Weather conditions have been unfavor-
able to distributive trade this week, and
rather quiet trade is reported the coun-
try over. Jobbing trade has remained
quiet, with business confined to small fill
ing in orders. Fall business has shown
no particular increase in activity and or
ders are still scarce. Collections are still
SLOW and extensions asked for or granted
are still feature. Thus far Industrial
output shows little or no disposition to
expand. Curtailment is still the feature
in textile lines, and some leading centers
report production 40 per cent off the nor
NAL. Irons and steel industries show lit
tie change from preceding quiet condi-
tlons except that talk of price reductions
in the crude iron branch is becoming more
pronounced, while finished lines hold at
previous quotations. Railway tonnage is
at very low point, idle cars have in
creased to a record total, with coal cars
prominent, Indicating that this trade is
especially short of work.
