DATA on TWO ROUTES ARE BEING
STUDIED. QUESTION OF RIGHTS
IN FLYING OVER OTHER COUn.
TRIES MAY COME UP. MAY BE
YEAR OR MORE BEFORE FLIGHT
Is UNDERTAKEN.

Washington, Oct. %. Tentative
plans for an attempted hight Of army
alfplanes around the world have been
unoer consideration for some. months
by air service officials, it way learned
today, but the project has not as yet
passed the preliminary survey stage.
valuable data on available routes in
both directions have been obtained,
however, and ultimately it is hoped,
to send a considerable aerial squadron
on the voyage. The project will not
be laid before Secretary Weeks for
approval, it was said, until it takes
much more definite form.
TWO Of the routes considered are
that from the Atlantic coast via Ice
land and Ireland and that from the
Pacific via Alaska, the Aleutian is
lahds, Siberia and home via Ireland
and Iceland. Air service officials said
the route Offering the most favorable
conditions as to ioyevailing winds
would be selected should the flight be
ordered, and it would then become
necessary to obtain permission Of each
ofsthc countries to be traversed before
the squadron could start.
The question Of air navigation by
pilots OF one country over the terri
tory of another nation has been con-
sidered by the council Of the league Of
nations in order to establish uniform
ity Of practice. SO far as the United
States and Caanda are concerned re-
cent agreement fixed reciprocal rights
for the pilots of the two nations.
: Army tliers conceived the world cir
cling flight plan in line with the rea-
son which prompted President Roose-
welt to send the fleet around the world
in 1905, it was said 1t would have
aerial defense through training and in
giving the world a better understand
ing Of American postwar develop
ments. Filters of other nations have
undertaken. up to this time without
success, world circling fights but only
with a single plane. while the Ameri-
can air service project would call for
a fleet OF aircraft and careful prepara-
tions involving considerable cxpendi-
turc. Possibly special act Of con-
gress to authorize a flight and make
necessary preparations would be
necessary, should the secretary ap-
prove the plans.
For this reason it is expected that
no definite steps will be taken for a
year or moro.

HOME BUILDING
CONTRACTS RUN
TO S75,000,000.
Situation in 27 Northeas stern
States Shows Great
Improvement.

All signs point to 1922 as a big
year for home builders, according
to the Department of Commerce
The departments division of build.
ing and housing has studied re.
ports OF contracts awarded. an.
alyzed figures on building permits
and consulted with builders and
real estate men from scores of
cities, and concludes that before the
year Ii out the United States will
have begun to reduce it's housing
shortage OF about one million
homes.
Some very simple figures tell the
story. In twenty-seven northeast.
ern states. in which over two.thirds
of our people live, the F. w. Dodge
Company reports that contracts for
seventy.five million dollars worth
OF residential construction were
awarded in February. The figure
was the same for January. while
December showed a total of 1O1
million dollars. These figures com.
pare with q monthly average for
the year 1919 Of seventy-one million
dollars and for 1921 of seventy.
three million dollars.
Look for Active Spring.
The showing is very remarkable.
as normally December, January,
and February are the three lowest
nonths of the year. and 1t Is espe-
cially encouraging shfGe the late
summer and fall months showed an
unusually large number Of building
projects started. to be carried along
during the winter season. Every.
thing points, therefore, TO an active
spring building season.
The situation varies greatly be-
tween different cities, Of course, a
few even having surplus of
homes. but a number OF places ap.
parently will build TO the limit Of
The Washington times., 1922-03-25

their capacity. In view Of general
business conditions it does not
seem likely that there will be any
great general increase in building
material prices or building trade
wages. In fact, the steady activity
during the fall and winter months
indicates that the demand for new
construction is Of a steady. healthy
nature, that would probably slacken
in case of any marked advances.
Movements In the building indus
trfy during the next few months
are expected to be rather steady
Away Above 1921.
Measured in floor space, the
average contracts. awarded during
the past three months stand well
above the 1921 average and very
close to the high year OF 1919. With
such a start the year 1922 could
easily rank ahead of any year since
the beginning Of the war.
Residential buildings have ac-
counted for AZ per cent. or nearly
half, of all new construction during
the past three months, whereas
during the years 1919 to 1921 resi-.
dental construction was only 81 per
cent. or less than one-third of the
total Homebuilders are having
first call on the resources Of the
construction industry.
