 Portland Ore, May S.-CarrylnS both freight and passengers, mann moth air liners will, im the not-far-d1s- tant future, be placed in SerV1ce oe- tween New York Chicago, san Frall- cisco, Portland and New Orleans according to Merle Thorpe, editor or Nations Business. the official pupil cation of the United States~ShamDer of Commerce
 touring the country to survey gen eral business conditions, declared business is looking up, literally, as formation of a S250.O0O,0O0 corpora ton in Boston. which will establish the mentioned air service, Is only one indication that 'buslnesS IS LOOK ing up." judging from his extensive survey of conditions rom coast to coast
 have been awarded for the conStruc- tion of two giant Hghter-than-af fliers. which will be capable of carry ing roo tons of frieght and 800 pas. sengers. and which will be powerful enough to maintain speed of not less than no miles an hour
 These first two planes will be placed in service between New Eork and Chicago" said Thorpe. Plans of the company call for the con struction of nine other machines for service between Chicago and san Francisco with feeders to New Or leans and Portland
 Competition in Air Lanes
 Within a very short time business will have to adjust itself to look to the air." for there are other phases of air development that are demanding attention There should be no time ' wasted in controversies between rail- , roads and bus lines, for the real com petition is coming in the air lanes.
 Another dramatic incident in de- vslopment of air channels is the w-ildfire growth of radio-teleph ony. Already there are COG, 900 radio tele- phones in use in the country, and some programme of franchises of the air must be worked out to prevent some trust gaining a monopoly ! Seven years from now I predict that ' every family in the United States will be able to hear the inaugural ad- dress of the President. Business must he ready for this development and the development of aerial carriers '

SHOE PRICE DROP IN
 SIX MONTHS FORECAST.

Indianapolis, May S|Pedestrians who can hold out another six months on their present footgear may be able to purchase their next shoes at further reduced prices. The retail price of footwear will not be reduced, for six months, according to opinions ex- pressed by delegates to the annual convention of the Indiana Retail Shoe Dealers Association.
 4 decrease in the price of shoes averaging 35 per cent. already has become generally effective throughout the country. and any further drop is unlikely until large stocks of leather laid in by manufacturers at prevailing prices are exhausted. It is probable, however, members said. that there will be a decrease at the end of the stN-month period.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

Sisterville, w. Va, May B. The mystery why rolled top stockings only show when maid ems of Sisterville sit down has just been discovered.
 A disease epidemic went the rounds here several months ago Just when decollete evening gowns were much the thing. Vaccination followed and every body was vaccinated.
 Rather than have a mark on their pretty arms, the girls and young women submitting to the treatment elected another part of their anatomy where the scar could not be seen.
 DecOllete gowns are still in vogue here, but roll-top hose and very short dresses never will be.
 The girls were vaccinated on their knees

Trade.
Full development of the inland

| Fridge, III announcing the commit
tees plans today. would add from
five TO ten cents a hushel to all grain
grown in the great productive area.
This IS based on surveys by trans
rortation. experts.
1T is estimated that a five cent n
hushel saving on transportation cost
70 European countries would add
S1SS,00o.0 600 TO the agricultural in
come OF the Central West. This BEN
eft to the farmer as well as to the
| public generally readily can be seen.
Transportation has long been a prime
factor in distribution costs. A deep
81 away would be Il logical solution.
The Chicago Board of Trade will
work for the contamination of the
waterway tho same as it has all other
movements in behalf of greater re-
turns to the farmer.
I'm the district that would benefit
directly by the deep seaway are six
teen states that pour part of their ag-
ricultural products into Chicago.
These states produce three -fourths of
the wheat of the country. and more
