ALRPLANES WILL OFFER
MAIN A OF IRA VEL

Aerial travel is the future means Of
American ~locomotion, in the opinion Of
an airplaue expert visiting In Memphis.
This flyer, who has studied the me-
chanical department OF "the game"
since the first plane was given to the
world by the Wrights, declares that
within Il few years the danger Of flying
will be reduced TO a minimum and that,
with the arrival of that state of af-
fairs, air traffic will be as common as
travel by automobile.
For trained men aerial navigation Ia
practically as safe as by rail- or motor
car" he declares. But when n means
Is devised 10 make the plane safe for
the amateur, aerial traffic Will come
into It's own.
I'm my opinion this will come through
construction OF lighter motors. enabling
installation OF say, four b0-horsepower
motors instead of one 00-horsepower.
Then II one motor goes out Of commits

to carry the plane to a safe landing
