 Worlds Flying Hubs

London, January 3O.-CReciprocal News service.)-one of the most defi- mite speculations about the future of aviation was contained in lecture by London county council with Maj. Gen. Sir F. H. Sykes, government controller general of civil aviation, in the chair.
 Lord Montagu saw little chance for the airplane for long distance passen- ger flights on a commercial basis in the near future. The discomforts of the traveller were too great But for airships he saw an immediate future provided airdromes were not too far from city terminals. He predicted an overhead landing stage for airships in London.
 At the outbreak of the war, he said, there were only S6 airplanes fit for use by the British expeditionary forces. This number was. increased to nearly 80, 900 at the time of the armistice In the meantime, a British passenger serv- ice has been working almost daily be- tween London and Paris and in spite of fogs and winds and cross channel difficulties, 95 per cent of the flights had been accomplished at a speed of over 100 miles an hour. This is wonder full" he said when you consider that this service is carried on regularly only 12 years after the dawn of avia- ton"
 His figures were considered valuable. He estimated the present cost of rum ming an ordinary or 3-seater air plane at SO cents 8 mile, with ma chimes average life at 600 hours. or so,0oO miles of flying. The airship of first-class workmanship would cost at least s750,O00 so that it's running cost would be much greater.
 Great Britain, he said, was unfor- tunately placed for commercial flying being at the t-p end of the continen- tai masses of Europe, Asia and Africa. If not a center it would be the terminus of the future for continental flying and transatlantic aerial transportation, America and Egypt would have the great junction centers for world flying, according to the lecturer.
 The air routes, he said, would unite the British empire. It would be un- wise to surrender the British airdrome at Hellipolis or the sovereign right of flying over Egypt. as this would inn pair British empire strength. Egypt had perpetual sunshine and practically no wind It would be the flying hub |

of Europe and Africa and part of Asia This major aerial Junction. Helliopolis near Cairo, is 2.500 miles from London, z,Oo0 miles from East Africa, 4, 000 from Cape Town, 2,0o0 from Karachi via Akaba. and 5000 from Cape London derry for Australia en route to New Zealand
 He did not believe the airplane would pay in passenger carrying traffic at present For one thing, beyond the ele- ment of novelty, such transportation was not advisable for short distances but where distance of 200 or 300 miles were concerned, when the railway ex- press could be competed with, there was a great advantage and saving. and it might be a business proposition in time
 But it was a paying business at this time to early mail matter, where charges of about SO, cents a packer were allowed. Montagu believes that unless the cable companies show en- terprise, the world will soon send air grams instead of cablegrams. He saw a great chance for the quick inter- change of newspapers all over tbe world. He felt sure that British resi- dents tn India, for example. would he Willing to pay 60 cents a day for London rtper received within a day or two of Ne publication date He ex- poets London-Rome daylight service to be inaugurated this year.
 In order to keep together the pilots and mechanics trained during the war. he suggested that the government should encourage or subsidize aerial routes. He said there were six British air routes: l, England to North Amer 1ca and Canada, via Newfoundland: 2.

POSTOFF|CE NO I EQUAL TO TASK IN THIS BUSY CITY.
Rapid Growth of Phoenix Has Compelled the Open ing of Fifth General De- livery Window Here

A fifth general delivery window was opened at the Phoenix postoffice yes terday. Unable to accommodate the tional window to be established in or der that service might be rendered the thousands who ask for mail during the day.
 Checking the callers during the hour from noon until l o'clock yesterday, J. A. Giffin, superintendent of mails, discovered that 300 persons called for mail There is not a box to be had t the postoffice. All rent boxes were se- cured months ago, and the many per- sons who live in the districts where mail is not delivered are compelled to receive their mail through the general delivery. The four windows are not sufficient to render service and the opening of the fifth will relieve the conditions to a large extent
 Can't Keep Up
 MT. Giffin stated that it was the wish of the postoffice officials to always render service, but that with the pres ent staff it is impossible to keep up with the rapid growth of the town. An effort is being made to secure addi- tional carriers. he said.
 The carriers go out loaded with mail. One of our men carries as much as POO pounds day. We realize that we need more help-Inat there should be two deliveries where we have one, but we are handicapped stated Giffin
 The superintendent said that the postoffice is the one department where the growth of the city is apparent The fact is demonstrated by the large amount of mail being received the calls at the windows and the many new addresses on the delivery routes.

Baseball to Start With a Bang

Rah. Rah. for Coach Venne, the new baseball coach. who is destined to put the Coyote baseball team on the map. Everybody remembers MT. Nenne, be- cause he is the man who used to al ways pilot the Indians to victory. The first baseball meeting of the year was held Monday after school in OI01p of flee Several very important things took place. Brodie Campbell was ap- pointed manager of the 1920 club
 Campbell should make a good one, as he is a real live wire in every other high school activity, and also very popular with the students. Coach Venne told just how he expected to run the team. and gave few pointers on inside" baseball which included several trick plays. Then he laid down a rigid set of training rules, with the statement that no player would have a chance to make the team unless these rules were strictly adhered to. Last night real practice started. From the number of candidates out it looks as though Phoenix High is going to have a crack nine this year. There are seven of the old players back in school, several have played ball in the army, such as Lefty Brawner, who pitched his team to several victories across the water. Then there is Speed ball Alkire, of the strong arm, and Charlie Gililand, the boy who plays such a whale of a game at shortstop.

 which Glendale administered to one of the regular F. H. $. five" and four other fellows. two of whom could not even make the second team. The req son this all happened was because the basketball team was practicing with the football team at the time of the battle. Coach Raitt even could not attend the game, he being over on the field helping Coach Geary with the football team. The regular Coyote quintet is going to invade the big city of Glendale this afternoon and make an effort to put the Glendaleites among the missing.

ATTEMPT ID BREAK WILL OE FRANCIS M.
 STEWART FAILURE

Attempts to break the will of the late Francis M. Stewart of Tempe were frustrated last evening, when a jury in tho superior court brought in a verdict that the aged pioneer had been of sound nina when he made his last will and testament shortly before his demise. More than a score of relatives living in Kansas had brought suit in the su- perior court to have the will set aside on the grounds that Stewart had been mentally incompetent.
 Stewart, who had lived in Tempe for several decades, was a well-known character on the southside- In his youth he had been somewhat wild and was known as anything but a religious man. As he approached old age, how ever. and became helpless, his mind turned to religion, and in the opinion of a number of witnesses his mind was affected along those lines.
 It was on these grounds that the validity of the will was attacked. O. N. Albright of Tempe had taken care of the old man for several years, and it was alleged that he had brought undue influence to have the will made in his favor.
 AttorneyfC. R. Holton. appearing for Albright. established the fact that all though Stewart had claimed to be the recipient of visits from angels, with whom he talked frequently, he was otherwise in a sound condition of mind Several witnesses testified that in mat ters of business Stewart was bright and capable.
 The battle over the will lasted two days, ending with the jury coming to a verdict within an hour. F.. C.. Scott was associated with Holton in defense Of the will, while Shepherd and Niles appeared for the relatives Judge Sam ue1 l.. Pattee of Tucson sat in the case.

The story Of their explorations and settlements from Florida to California is a TO- nance which has not yet been clearly written. but as the highway which traverses this country is reconstructed for modern day travel this romance will be developed for the pleasure of the travellers who pass over it."

6HE traffic officer signals you
 to stop and it takes six or
 eight feet more than you thought necessary.
 Perhaps in this case it means nothing more than a little erhbar rasSment.
 Suppose, however, it was an emergency that demanded sud- den stop.
 Those few feet might mean the difference between safety and serious accident.
 And yet to have your brakes al- ways efficient is as easy as it Is nec- cssary.
 Ask your garage man to inspect them regularly. If they are OK. he will tell you so and the knowledge will create feeling of security you could not otherwise hope for.
 If they need refining have it done but do not buy just brake lining your safety is too im- portant for that. Experts specify a lining only after they know what it will do- after exhaustive tests and all leading car and axle builders specify Therrnoid Brake Lining.
