 T don't know of thing that would help Birmingham as much as wide beautiful boulevard running from the viaduct to the city limits. Three of the most important high ways of this section converge into First avenue and the street has be 2 come too small for the amount of traffic that must of necessity pass over it.
 We recently had a survey made of the proposed street and they esti- mated that the cost would be ap- proximately $50,o0o. To get this road project through, the city will either have 10 buy strip of land 20 feet in width or condemn the land.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Oct. II
ASSOCIATED Press) The Army dirigi-
Ole CO, carrying score of persons,
exploded and was destroyed by fire
to-day at Brooks Field. near here. All
on board and nearby escaped without
fatality.
The CO, preparing to resume the
return journey of n transcontinental
fight, was being towcd out Of n hang
ar when the wind caught her and
threw her against a door, which
ripped the gas bag. An instant later
she was in flames. Passengers in the
car injured follow:
Major H. A. Strauss, commander,
bruises, not serious.
Maj. John MacD. Thompson, in
juries undetermined, but thought not
of fatal character.
Capt. Jeffrey Montague, practically
mhuIt.
Capt. Nelson Walker, bruised on
face.
Ben Balnes. San Antonio, reportdf,
arm broken.
Lieut.. o. A. Anderson, body bruises.
Sergt. Joseph L. Albrecht, broken
leg.
The CO had been unleashed and
raised slightly above the floor of the
hangar. Crowds stood around the
door and outside, and at the first sign
of danger they scattered in all di-
rections.
Ben BalOes, n San Antonio reporter,
though badly injured, telepnoned the
first account of the accident to this
city, and was then taken to a hos
pital. He said:
1--WE were being towed out, and
as the nose of the ship came outside
of the hangar I noticed it sway with
the wind and careen to one side.
When it was half way out, the wind
caught it with full force and carried
it over to the side of the entrance.
The big bag dropped, tho bottom of
the car scraping the floor. Another
puff of wind caught US and 1 decided
to jump.

"Such devices will probably be used
not merely for radio purposes but
hay ultimately play an important
part in such problems as the elec-

with his new tube by the Radio Cor
poration. He refused, however, more
than modest statement, saying:

prised at the success Of the tubes. II
is stepping stone in the progress Of
many years development"
He then told of his tcn-year stIug-
gle to perfect the tube, which to-day
seems likely to revoutionize radio.
The most amazing thing about the

|ANHO OWNS C|TY'S BUS LINES
MAY Be REVEALED IN INQUIRY
BY TRANSIT COMMISSION
Officials Wants to Know
Who Got Licenses From
Municipality,
NEW PERMIT
Investigation to Begin Thurs
day Will Include "Manhat-
tan Transit Co." Claims.

A thorough investigation of the bus
situation in the entire city will be
-,started Thursday morning by Clar-
Sence j. Shearn, counsel to the Tran
sit Commission. This investigation
has been in preparation for some
time, and is supplemental TO the IN
Vesugation of the Interborough AMI
other traction lines begun by the
Transit Commission last spring.
The purpose OF the investigation Is
TO supply the Transit Commission
with information as to what service
the present bus lines are giving the
public and, If it is not systematic and
adequate. what steps should be taken
to give real bus service.
Furthermore, the Transit Commits
sion has never been informed who the
present licensees are and their con-
nections and backing. Nor has 1t ever
received any data from any source as
TO what their equipment is and what
Iheir receipts have been. So far, the
city has received no remuneration in
percentage of receipts from the many
millions of passengers carried in buses
One of the many points that will he
the subject of inquiry ~ill be the
Manhattan Transit Company, which
claims a perpetual legislative fran
chise to operate buses in any street OF
all first class dties in the State. 1t
Is pointed out that although Mayor
Hylan has been vociferous in de-
Bouncing "private interests" yet
neither he nor his Administration had
any criticisms to make, nor did it
place any obstacles in the way when
the Manhattan Transit Company re-
Gently began operating buses and
continued doing so until stopped by
court injunction.
The action taken by the Board of
Estimate in granting temporary re-
yocable permits to 400 bus owners to
operate on thirty-three lines will un-
doubtedly figure in some way in the
development of the investigation.
City Charter experts point out that
