Making Survey to Aid U. S.
Manufacturers.

American airplane manufacturers
whose product is believed to be
superior to that of most foreign
countries, are preparing to take an
important place in the world air.
craft markets.
This was disclosed today In the
announcement of H. M. Hoeph.
chief of the automotive division OF
the Department Of Commerce, that
the Government has undertaken an
international aircraft survey. to de-
termine where the manufacturers
of this country can successfully
compete with foreign producers.
The investigation was started at
the request of automobile manu-
facturers.
While the domestic market for
aircraft il limited, partially because
Congress has failed to adopt neces-
sary regulations OF air traffic ana
production, according to manu-
facturers and naval, air experts, 1t
is believed legislation will be forth
coming. leading to a largely III.
creasing output of commercial
planes.

with production well launched,
aircraft producers think they can
duplicate. the success of American
automobile and truck manufacturers
in foreign markets. Ten per cent
OF auto-truck output is exported.
Airplane manufacturers hope 70

foreign competition by largely in
creasing their. production.
Hoepli said his division would

as to. the sales possibilities for air.

made for automobiles, motorcycles,
accessories and equipment, motor
boats, and marine engines. All, 30
far completed, show tremendous
possibilities for American motor
products.
ready have agents In Spain, Argen-
tina, and Brazil. and have OBJ
tanned initial orders from some OF
the governments. The Department
Of Commerce investigation, how
ever. will, look principally into the
sale OF commercial aircraft to pri-
vate corporations or individuals.
The result, it is expected, will have
a big bearing on future develop
ment Of aeronautics in the United
States.
Plan for Big Sales.
1--WE hope to lay the foundation
for sales on a large basis to be
ready for manufacturers when they
are prepared for large production"
Hoeplf declared.
Cooperating with motorboat and
marine engine manufacturers the
department is conducting a cam
paign abroad educating many ma
tons to the advantages Of using
American marine products.
The domestic and foreign demand
for American moto~cars in the first
five months of this year has set
new high records, according to
Hoepli. The official production for
the first four months Of the year
was over 1,140,O00 cars compared to
approximately 536 900 for the same
period last year. May figures are
expected to correspond. Auto man
ufacturers hope eventually to ex.

duction, it was learned.

NEW DISCOVERY
MISOMA---GREAT SUR
PRISE TO DOCTORS
Sure Road to Overcome Kidney
and Liver Troubles, Rheu-
matism and High Blood
Pressure Due to Internal In
fections or Uric Acid Poison
ina.
BY DIR. e. SAUER.

Examination by physicians, show
that the blood of an enormous num-
Der OF people. nowadays, is polluted
with dangerous acid poisons which
are absorbed through the intestinal
walls, says DIR. e. Sauer, phySt-
clan who has studied this subject
widely in both this country and
great European medical colleges.
These poisons are carried by the
blood stream to the kidneys, liver
and other vital organs and they
there often set up a chronic in
f1amation resulting in serious dis
ease, or they lodge in the joints or
muscles producing rheumatism and
later heart disease. Also their
presence in the blood is a most
prolific cause of hardening Of the
arteries and high blood pressure.
Eminent scientists in searching for
something to neutralize these poison
out intestinal acids, accidently dis
covered a most remarkable product.
which to their utter aTnazement not
only acted on the deadly acid poisons
in the blood stream and vital organs
Of the body. but 1t overcame worst
cases of constipation, often in a
few days time. It is made by COM
proper proportions under seven hun
dred degrees vacuum heat. 1t is
called "Misoma.' 1t is entirely diff
ferent in its action from any of it's
ingredients, and is a great surprise
10 the most learned physicians and
scientists. 1t shows what marvellous
products can be made by chemistry
from the apparently simple things
right around us. Thousands of people
are weakened by the continuous
absorption of poisons through the
Intestinal walls without knowing it..
They attribute their nervousness.
headaches. lack Of vigor, ETC., to
some other cause. A few days use
OF Misoma often gives these people
most astonishing new life. energy
and viEor.

to form the policies and the

closest cooperation.
