Market Opinion
Two Oils

WO lb1lS
'Transcontinental Oil and Caddo Cen
tral Oil are, we believe, two oil stocks
having. exceptional speculative and
even investment merit at prevailing
prices: Transcontinentals OH is re-
garded by practical oil men as q COM
pany which is potentially one Of the
biggest oil independents in tho world.
Enhanced production and increased re-
hning capacity, together with capable
management, should result in constant
ly increasing earnings for Caddo Cen
tral, which. we believe, will naturally
be reflected il substantially higher
prices for Caddo Central stock.--HaUe

Crucible Steel common at this level
should positively be sold for profit.
As short sale it might prove ex-
ceedingly improbable. Some good
people are talking $50 for tho stock.
If the market gets going on the down

who is going to buy these special

Historical Drive

June is the Historical Month in
kentucky. Every county in the State
is now engaged in making a perTna-
nent record of the part it played in
the World War.
The records &C tie soldiers are
being made on War Record Sheets.
The records of the civilians are being
made in the form of reports of the
work done by the County Council of
Defense, Red Cross Chapters, Liberty
Loan Campaign Committees, Wo-
mems Clubs and other organizations
which took part in winning the war.
The Kentucky Council of Defense
| inaugurated this work in September,
1918, by appointing State and County
Historians. These historians are en-
gagged in the laborious task of COM
! piling complete lists of the men who
have lost their lives, those who have
been wounded and those who have
won special honors. They are also
making complete roster of all men
in the service. A special effort is
being made to get complete list Of
the volunteers, and those who have
been for long time in the regular
army. Every person who has rela-

favor of the aeroplane. For example,
the through journey on the main line
from Calais to Constantinople via
Germany and Austria was. even be-
fore the war. an extraordinarily slow
trip. Tho distance can be covered
quite comfortably in two days by any
respectable modern aeroplane, even
stopping for fuel every 500 miles or
SO. and If the passenger elected to fly
by day and night the journey could
he done quite we'll in twentyfour
hours
When one comes to consider the
journey from England to India one is
still more impressed with the posi-
bilitiee of the aeroplane. At present
the only way of getting to India is by
boat, either through the Suez canal
or round the Cape OF Good Hope.
BY the fastest route the journey
takes, one believes. twenty-one days,
yet with a properly organized service
OF modern aeroplanes taking the
shortest route the journey could be
done from London to Calcutta in two
and a half days. with such margin
1t Is obvious that the aeroplane could
afford to wait for several days If de-
tanned by bad weather at this end and
could still beat the mail boats and
trains to Calcutta by weeks. The
Cape-to-Cario line will be natural
extension of the line to India.
Across the Continent.
While these lines are being devel-
oped in Europe there should be an
equally great amount OF development
in America. Although the United
States claims to have some of the
fastest trains in the world, the aver
a-e speed Of the American train on a
transcontinental journey Is by no
means high. and there should be air
lines for the transport Of mails right
across the American continent and to
the bigger cities in the West before
many years have passed Even the
famous New York-to-C Chicago express
could be beaten by a properly organ
lied air line provided 1t were equipped
with real aeroplanes ftted with re-
liable engines.
There will also be quite important
coast of the United States and be-
tween the United States and parts OF
British Columbia. and Canada.
Already the Canadian government Ia
taking up the question OF air lines
seriously. and the great Canadian
railway lines are taking parliament

tar1es to- the railways. for In Canada.

ny c. G. GREY,
Editor of The Aeroplane, OF London.
London, Aug. 1l.---When one comes
to consider the air lines OF the world
certain main routes at once come to
ones mind. First OF all probably
arises the idea of London to Paris;
then comes London to New York;
r. KIT one thinks OF London TO India,
and afterwards continuation OF the
Indian route to Australia naturally
suggests itself. Probably the next one
lat occurs to everybody's mind is
London to Cairo, and Cairo to the
Cape,
So far as the Old World is concern
ed, those are actually the main air
lines, but as a matter OF fact, 1t seems
highly probable that there will be
m ,re flying done ultimately on the
American continents than in the Old
World. However. for the better un-
Outstanding Of the running Of air lines
it may perhaps be advisable to dis
cuss those OF the Old World. simply
because people as a rule are more ia
miliar with the geography OF our
hemisphere.
II will be obvious to anybody who
thinks over the matter that the aero
pine or airship a. a means OF con-
v2yance Of either malls or passengers
c-nnot compete on commercial basis
with high-speed direct lines Of rail-
way. 1t hardly appears that tho aero
plane at its best can ever be quite
as reliable as a railway train. 1t 10
true that II Ii possible to ny in any
sort OF wind In these days. and that
even heavy rain does not make flying
altogether impossible. but there are
certain circumstances, such as snow
storms and thick fogs. in which 1t IL
utterly impossible for an aeroplane
to ny. though in similar weather a
train will start of according to time
table and will stick to its schedule
time throughout its journey.
Where Speed OountA
Where the aeroplane Is really going
to score on the worlds air routes Is
in giving direct straight-line commu-
that the speed Of the AeroplAne has q
distinct advantage over the speed OF
the best possible train. and where the
main railway lines run In such a d.
recton 'hnS the direct air line - very
muea shorter than the nearest rail-
way line
There is, then. q very distinct OPP
portunity for an asroplane service
