London Planning Increased
Air Passenger Service

London, Oct. 27.-The London -Ber-
lin airway, the first section Of which
that between London and Holland
was opened recently, completes an
aerial service Of eleven planes leav-
ing London daily for the Continent.
The popularity of the airways among
tourists during the past summer has
led to plans for routs 70 be opened in
the spring which will connect Lon
don by air with all of the principal
points within radius of 500 miles.
The plans include daily trips to
Scotland, .Deauyille, Denmark, Ire
land and Luxemburg. 1t is proposed
also to keep several planes for spe-
cial trips, a feature of travelling
which has proved popular with Am
erican tourists. The cost Of these
journeys is about four pence (eight
.cents) a mile. ,,.
The new London-be d route is be-
ing operatsd by--as0x iiSh aosp,
and a double servicf VIII be run In
each direction from Kottssdam daily
until the route Is cSmplsted. The
trip will take two and 9 half hours,
and will be made tot or little
more then 8 1-2 d. a mile. The sec
ond stage of the journey will be
opened about October 80, when the
route will be from London to Ham
burg and Berlin. 49,
At the present time five planes are
making eight trips daily between
London and Paris, carrying an aver
age of three persons each trip. The
routes to Rotterdam, Brussels and
Antwerp are constantly filled in adj
vance and carry full capacity of
freight. 5a.

Plan 10000 Miles
Improved Highway

Washington, Oct. ga program
for good roads construction during
the next 15 to 20 years which will
make the road transportation facili-
ties of the United States far exceed
those of any other nation in the world,
past or present, is the aim of the fed
eral government. The highways of
Rome, even, whose fame has come
down through the centuries, will pale
by comparison, officials declare. Un-
der the program, there will be built,
during the period, 10000 miles of
improved highways, which viii. con-
stitute the Federal-aid highway sys-
TEN, and an equal or greater mileage
of state and local roads.
Details of this vast program will
be placed before the conference of the
highway education board, meeting
hede from October 26 to 2, by stat.
highway engineers and officials of the
Bureau Of Public Roads, Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, to
whom has been entrusted the work of
planning and supervising the con-
struction Of the Federal-aid highways
The plan will be presented especi-
ally to enable the board to proceed
authoritatively with its work of de-
vising aids for schools and colleges
to which the road-builders of the
country are turning for competent
highway engineers.
Officials of the Bureau place the
aggregate cost of the Federal aid pro-
gram alone at about $3,000,000, ,0OO
spread over the period. They base
their estimate on an average cost of
$4,000 per mile. The average cost
in turn, takes into consideration all
classes of improved highways from
the cheapest to the most expensive
Approximately one-third of the pro-
posed system, or $4,000 miles of i'm.
proved highways, already are eithe,
built or building.
The program is new one. UP to
comparatively recent years, the Blu.
reau declares, road building in the
United States has been conducted
without special regard to a national
system. Highways had been con.
structed where needed without con.
sidering whether they would link up
in the most effective fashion with the
whole network of roads projected tc
spread over the entire country. En-.
gineers had sought more to meet i'm.
mediate and local demands than the
broader requirements Of the states
and the nation.
The Federal-aid program, officials
said, will contemplate the construc.
tion of only such roads as fit into
the national program and contribute
to the national system. At the same
time the roads will be so selected as
to serve the most important local re.
quirements. With marked modifica.
tons the system adopted in building
the railways of the country will be
borne in mind in the construction of the
nations new highways. There will
be main lines Of highway communica.

Shipments Of Peerless motor

A search through the records of

the fact that last weeks ship
tnents, which included two solid
trainloads Of Peerless cars, were
exceeded only twice during the
company's long history and then
only by very narrow margins.
