tiOns upon the fact that in one year af-
ter the signing of the armistice over
seventy-five 1owans have purchased air
planes for their own personal use. This
summer an Iowa aircraft firm sold
twenty-five to triple that amount before
spring is over. In the spring aerial
mail routes will be established. The ar
