Commercial Navigation
Of Air Became Reality in
United States Last Year
Five Regular Passenger Routes Established and Many
Firms Adopted Planes as Delivery Medium Dur
ing Last IL Months Which Noted Remarkable Ex-
pansion of Efforts With Lighter Than Air Crafts.

New York, Feb. 28.--Commercial
aerial navigation became reality in
the United States during the last
year. The sudden cessation of hos
tilities at the close of 1918 threw
hundreds OF airplanes into the mar
ket and many of these were pur-
chased by private companies and re-
modelled for commercial use.
Airplaae manufacturers, whose
enregies had been devoted exclusive
ly to the making of war machines,
also turned their attention to the
commercial possibilities of aircraft
and have perfected several standard
commercial possibilities of aircraft
that there are more than 1000 pri-
yately owned aircraft in the United
States.
Five regular passenger routes
were established; the airpane mail
service, inaugurated May Is, 1923,
between New York and Wa shington
on definite basis, and scores OF pri-
vate firms purchased aircraft \and
utilized them for the delivery of mer-
chandise and newspapers and for
conducting aerial forest surveys and
patrols.
Europe Leads World.
Still greater strides were made in
Europe and Australia, where there
are few thickly populated centers
that, do not boast of regular aerial
commercial traffic, either by airplane
OF dirigible, or both. The delay in
the development of aeronautics in
this country was attributed by the
Manufacturers Aircraft association
to "the failure OF the United States
government to establish landing
fields, enact regulatory legislation
and adopt a fixed policy" ...
| Inspired by aircraft manufacturers,
Chambers of Commerce in at least
50 cites have undertaken to provide
municipal landing fields for aircraft,
built on specified lines as plotted by
city planners and officials OF the
army air service, which has assumed
Unofficial supervision over the
project, pending the adoption of fed
eral regulatory legislation.
These cities include Buffalo. Bos-
ton, Cleveland. Chicago, Phi1adel-
phia, New Orleans, Richmond, Va;
Atlanta and Macon, Ga; St. Louis,
Kansas City, Denver, Sacramento,
Salt Lake City, Omaha, Pittsburgh,
Butte, Mont; Fresno, Cal; Scran-
ton, Harrisburg and Altonna, Pa;
Syracuse. Rochester and Albany, N.
Y; Springfield, Ill; Columbus, o.;

Regular Passenger Routes.

established in this country are be-
tween New York and Atlantic City,

Mobile and New'Orleansr Key West
and Havana, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, and Los Angeles and San
Diego. Lack of adequate terminal
facilities is considered one of the
principal handicaps to aerial COM
mercitl traffic development. If aerial
transportation is to become UNI
versal, aircraft manufacturers point
out that there must be established
adequate airdromes with definitely
marked landing places, convenient
to business centers and with faciE-
ties for housing the airmen and their
machines and providing them with
fuel and repairs.
At the height of 5000 feet, con.
sidered the minimum at which com
mcrclal planes of the future will
travel, especially over cities, it Is
set forth that an alrplane, the mo-
tor of which has become stalled,
could volplane or glide distance Of
four or five miles in a horizontal
direction.
International Route Planned. =.
In addition to the regular routes
company at Seattle has started an
international air mail, operating he
tween that city and Vancouver, 2. {.
Several lumber companies in the
northwest are using the airplane for
forest patrols and surveys. A New
ark, N. J., department store de-
iivered merchandise by airplane to
customers in Asbury Park last sum-
mer while large Chicago clothing
house made a speciality of delivering
clothes to college students within
l00-mile radius of that city. A
Canadian aviator carried 400 pounds
of frrs from Toronto to Newark, N.
J., stopping at Clayton, N. y, to
pay customs duties on them. The
navy conducted experiments in guld-
ing fishing craft by airplane at Glou-
cester, while the army conducted a
coast airplane patrol between New
York and Newport News, Va.
One of the strangest uses tor
which the airplane is being consid--
cred is the spreading of the gospel
in the Congo states OF Africa. a
large American manufacturer re-
ceived request for prices from the
Congo mission of the Church of the
Disciples of Christ, which proposed
to replace steam launches with flying
boats. The plan has not yet been
carried into effect. Airplanes and
spare parts, valued at 100000, were
recently sold by American manufac-
turers to French interests, who are
planning airplane commercial routes
in the Orient. Delivery of the ma
terial has begun.

White Truck Already

One of the largest fleets of Amer
ican-made motor trucks is owned
by Elder Dempster & Co., Ltd,
whose headquarters are in Liver

the west coast of equatorial Africa,
where the company has 200 trucks
in operation between west African
ports and their stations in the in
terror.
These trucks, piloted by west At
rican natives, plough their way over
the jungle trails, maintaining reg
ular schedules over routes stretching
several hundred miles inland. The
natives are attired pretty much as
they were born and drive with the
most cheerful abandon, Many of
them are full-fledged chauffeurs
within three or four weeks from the
time they see their first motor We
hicle That the trucks can keep
going at all under such conditions
is tribute to their reliability.
Elder Dempster & Co. are large
steamship owners having upwards
of 100 bottoms plying between west
African ports and Europe and
America. Their trucks are used as
feeders to their steamship lines,
taking men and supplies in and
bringing cocoa products. palm oil,
hides and rubber out. The narrow
gauge railroads have proved en-
~tirely inadequate and motor truck
routes are being extended.

need COST DATA
FOR SUCCESS OF
MOTOR EXPRESS
Preliminary Survey On Length
of Route and Cost of Haul
ing Should Be
Made.

That they neglected to make
careful preliminary survey before Sc
lecting . route, or that they did no
properly appreciate the value O
keeping accurate cost accounts, are
reasons those most concerned fire
quently give for failure in the rura
motor express or inter-city hauling
business, according to E. Farr, di'
rector OF the Firestone Simply
Truck bureau, at Akron, 0.
The results of recent investiga-
tons made by the Firestone bureau
along these lines, and some recon-
mendations for the guidance OF
prospective operators, are enumer-
ated by Mr.. Farr in letter re-
ceived recently by the Omaha
branch OF. the bureau at $500 Far
nam street.
Investigations conducted by our
field men disclose that in number
of cases rural and inter-city express
lines change hands frequently, and
that in some other cases the busi-
ness has been abandoned alto
gether," Mr.. Farr writes.
Bad Route Selected
"Their reports make it clear that
frequent changes of management and
the failures are due in part to lack
of proper consideration OF certain
factors basic in any business, but
more frequently to disregard OF sew
eral factors peculiar to the operation
aof motor express line.
"They convince us that hrst OF
all care must be exercised in the
selection of a route. Before selee-
ton is made there should be a
thorough survey of the business pos
sibilities of several routes. This pre-
liminary survey should embrace the
following important points:
/. The exact length of the route
and the time it will take truck to
make the round trip over it. j..

S. The extent to which motor
transportation is regulated by gov
eminent agencies, such as public
srvice and railroad commissions.
"In making this survey, valuable
information can be secured IRON
country farm agents, farmers who
are large shippers, agricultural and
cooperative association leades,
shippers of agricultural implements,
local bankers, wholesalers, retailers,
manufacturers and commercial as
sociations.
Use a QUESTIONABLE.
at is often impractical to inter
view all shippers in making sur
vey Of tonnage available, In such
cases the use of carefully worded
QUESTIONABLE will be found helpful.
"Once embarked in business, too
much stress cannot be placed on the
keeping of complete cost accounts:
The number of operators who fail
to take into account such items. as
depreciation, interest, supervision,
insurance and taxes, is entirely too
great. Many such men are making
their rates so low that operating
their business is merely process
of eating up their capital, The i'm
practical methods they are employ
ing not only spell their own failure.
but also threaten the business OF
practical operators who find it diff
cult to compete with them"
