HOW MANY AUTOS?

The "saturation point" is the
family skeleton in the closet of
the auto manufacturers. How
many people can buy autos? . Is
a perennial question. Park Math-
ewson. ice-president of the Bust
ness BOursc, gives some interest
ing figures in Forbes Magazine
(N. W He says:
Fixing our attention on groups
which we will call one, two and
three. with incomes respectively
OF $1,000 to $4,000; $2,OO1 TO
$4,000. and S3.OO1 10 $4,000. we
find that hypothetical figures of
one of New YOrk's largest trust
companies. estimated during the
war period, showed that each of
the above groups might contr!-
butte, In one year, to the purchase
of Liberty bonds as follows.
Group one. 5000. group two.
$51S; group three. 1891.
ON the basis OF the same in

by this same trust company (as-
Stunning that these groups consist

 Lace fans are to be especially at tractive as the bridal accessory; and Tn the black effects will probably find vogue with the ultra smart woman who is looking for something differ ent.

DANGERS MAKE
 GOOD AVIATORS

| A. good dancer is generally a good l nler, according to c. J. Zimmerman. chief pilot of the Aeromarine two | motored cruiser, and formerly U. S.. Army instructor.
 The reason is that for both dancing ana flying a certain sense of rhythm
 IS necessary In handling a flying
 boat or airplane the two main con trols, the wheel and rudder bar should be moved easily and in unison. Tn many maneuverS such as banks spirals, etc.
 Good judgment and "horse sense'' are the two main requisites of a f1ier
 besides rhythm, MT. Zimmerman
 learned during his Army experience. irving Is very much easier than the embryo fier believes and teaching a man to fly is a good deal like teach Ing man to swim. At first the novice believes he can't stay up. but ne soon flies without conscious effort
 The first two or three times a cadet goes up he comes down dis couraged," MT. Zimmerman said.
 From the time of take-off on the first flight he is instructed to keen his hands and feet on the controls lie feels every move the instructor makes. Almost unconsciously he initiates the moves. He is first taught rudder control to steer right and left, then aileron control. to keen the wing horizontal in flight and lastly elevator control, to ascend or descend. Nine out of ten pilots have tendency to let the left wing sag lower than the right. The tenth man Will let the right wing drop He is alright, for the torque of the motor balances the sag
 By the end of six hours in the air a man is confident that he can flv and he proves it in his first solo or flight alone. It is best then to let hlm ny twenty hours alone before glvlns him passengers to carry. twenty hours means 1,20O or 1.4oO miles of flight. At the end of this time his skill is tested. One test is to climb 5000 feet cut off the motor. ana glide down to land within 25O rect of buoy or other marker. An. other is to perform figure eights.
 Contrary to general belief, 1t ia not necessary to teach a man to stunt If he can handle his machine | in ordinary flight he can do any 1 stunt he wants to. because he has ac- qulred what we call air feel' and |. ] at home in his ship. We don't need | supermen for pilots. Its just a mat ter of Judgment, horse sense. and 1 rhythm"
 There is not much difference be- tween handling a little training plane and big ship like the Aeroma- r1ne Cruiser, which has a wing spread of 104 feet and carries fif- teen or sixteen people according tn MT. Zimmerman, Individual "ships" must be studied like individual a11to- mobiles, but air feel is the important thing.
