'FLIVVER PLANES WILL RIVAL
LAND AUTOS, INVENTOR SAYS
Ford to Be Asked to Manu-
facture $500 Ayiette When
De Woitine Completes Ex-
pertinent
BY JUNE HADDAWAY
Neased Wire Service to The Journal.)

Copyright, 1S2S.)
NEW YORK, June 6.-Emlle De
Woitine, inventor of the eviette--
"hivver airplane''-is getting ready
to go to Detroit, there to induce
Henry Ford, if possible, to interest
himself in the manumacture of this
flying device.
"They are likely to become as
popular as land f1ivvers," the
Frenchman declared emphatically
today.
DeWoitine will lay before the De
troit magnate the result Of his years
experiments with the aviette. When
manufactured in large quantities it
can be, sold as reasonably, he says,
as the Ford auto, and even when
made in small lots the price per
aviette will not exceed 500.
Georges Barbot already has put
the aviette con the map" He was
DeWoitine's experimenter when he
startled the world by shooting across
the English channel from Paris to
London. He is continuing his eX-
periments at oRosevelt field, L. I.
Without exception the tests have
been triumphs so far. The aviette
is a wee queer looking plane with
q, acknowledgements motor and
five-gallon gas tank. Sunday Bar
bot, accompanied by a pilot in an
army plane, started for West Point.
His pilot left him. He became lost
in the storm. Despite the fact that
he was without map and had to
depend on memory, he fought his
way back to base. And the seventy
mile trip cost but 20 cents, 10 cents
of which went for oil. The average
consumption of gas by the aviette
is one gallon TO 621a miles.
The machine rises on it's gasoline
engine to the proper height and
then glides to lower level. The
engine is turned on again, and again
it ascends. 1t is necessary only to
burn enough gas to keep the aviette
at the proper height in the air.
Barbot himself believes the aviette
the greatest invention in aviation.
He expects to see them as thick in
the air, he declared today as Ford
flivvers are thick on the ground.

Views of Hardwick
On N. Y. Dry Repeal
Are Widely Sought

Governor Hardwick has been
asked by a number of newspapers
for his views on the probable effect
throughout the nation of the Nfullin-
Gage prohibition repeal bill recently
signed by Governor Al Smith, of
New York. The governor has not
yer replied to any of these com
munications.
Georgia state officials and law
makers do not expect prohibition to
be an issue in the next session of
the legislature, since the sentiment
OF the state is regarded as over
whelnlingly for the principle of pro-
hibition, although there is some re-
sentiment at methods of enforcing
the law, according to the opinions
expressed.
Governor Hardwick has received
the following letter from l.. VIII
kerson, secretary of the London of
flee of the World League Against
Alcoholism:
Certain influences hostile to
America are spreading defamatory
stories regarding America and es-
pecially in respect to prohibition in
the United States. America is adj
vertised as hotbed of crime, drunk
enness, disorder, drug taking, cor
ruption, etc. This condition of af-
fairs, of course, is attributed to the
adoption "of the eighteenth amend.
ment.
ITO enable us to provide anthem
tic information regarding United
States affairs, would you kindly
write us brief letter stating in a
general way the effect that the
adoption of prohibition has had
upon crime, drunkenness, prosper
ity and general welfare of the peo-
pie of your state"

RECORD ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE
CREATED FOR DEMONSTRATION
Greatest Amount of Energy
Ever Concentrated by Man
Under Easy Control Dur
ing Experiment

PITTSFIELD, Mass, June a.
The greatest amount of energy
ever concentrated by human in
genuity-more than 100000
horsepower, was created, toyed with
and finally docilely placed back IN
its cradle yesterday by a single
man.
The significance of the spectacu-
lar demonstration was that twice
as much electrical voltage as ever
before was produced and safely
handled. 1t also was made to DO
the bidding of man operating a
small switch with all the unfathom-
able wizardry OF a magician bring
ing rabbits out of hat. For
small part of millionth OF a sec
ond the power was equal to all the
electrical power in America.
The exact voltage was 1000, 900,
which. as estimated by Charles P.
Steinmetz. an electrical expert, is
one twenty-fifth the power of
bolt of lightning.
The demonstration was made In
the Pittsfield laboratory, renowned
among electrical men as the trans
mission experimentation center. 1t
was in charge of f. w. Peek, Jr..
who directs the high voltage re-
search, and Giusep Faccioli, Grip
ple. chief electrical engineer OF the
Pittsfield works.
Mr.. Faccioli said the layman
might get a conception of the power
handled when it Yves realized that
the greatest single amount of cleo
trical voltage row transmitted for
puglic use is 220,000-that in Cali
fornia. Mr.. Peek pointed out that
the objective was to keep research
ahead of need-so that when it is
desirable to carry 100000 volts in
a wire it can be done.
A model village was built and
the electricity, transformed into
bolt of lightning was whipped back
and forth and up and down, strik.
ing the lightning arrester of a lit
tie church steeple. The artificial
was shot through realistic
clouds which rolled and Numbered
while rain they produced fell in
torrents.
The engineers were unable to ex-
plain what the chemical substance
produced when walnut. wood,
touched by the great voltage, disap-
peared from their sight and left no
perceptible residue.

Farm Is Next Field
OF Power Extension;
Big Supply Needed

NEW YORK, N. Y, June O.
more power is required to operate
the farms than is required to op
crate any other industry in the
United States, and this is the next
. field of electrification toward which
the light and power industry is turn
ing" according to report OF the rural
lines committed of the National Elec-
trio Light associations convention
here today H. L. Wills, of the
Georgia Railway and Power COM
pany, Atlanta, is a member of the
committee.
The rural lines committee believes
that the farm power situation is
about ready to make radical changes,
comparable to those made in the
industrial situation in the last TWEEN
ty years.
"Electrification of the farm will
mean carrying the city to the coun
try by making available to the farm
err and his family and hired help
the conveniences now enjoyed only
by residents of cities and communt-
ties having electric service" the re-
port says.
Attention was called TO a state
ment of the department of agricul-
ture that more than 100000 popu-
lation left the farms in 1922, and t
was pointed out that the AZ distinc-
tive uses of electricity on the farm
would remedy much OF the labor
shortage,

ONLY q INCOMES
Of OVER MILLION
IN TAX RETURNS

WASHINGTON, June e.--(By the
Associated Press. 1.-THE ranks OF
Americas millionaire taxpayers con
tinue to grow thinner. according To
statistics of income for 1921. made
public by the internal revenue bu-
reau, which show that Of the $685.
176 firms and individuals filing re-
turns for 1921 only twenty-one had
incomes exceeding one million dol
lars. This represents a decrease OF
twelve from the number receiving
million-dolIar incomes in 1920 and
compares with 65 in 1919; 81 in 1918;
141 in 1917, and with 206 in 1916, the
highest since the income tax laws
q became operative.
There was a falling off also in the
total number of returns filed for
1921 from the 7.259,944 filed for 1920,
but the 1921 total was greater by
nearly 100000 than that for 1919.
Indications already have been given
that final computation of returns for
1922 will show another drop in the
total as compared with the high
mark OF 1920.
Taxes aggregating $719,SS7, 106
were collected on the more than six
and a half million returns, an aver
age of $107.9S per return. The in
come from which the taxes were
drawn aggregated $19,577. ,52S, the
average net income per return
amounting to S2,9SS.56.
On the basis of the 1920 census,
however, the income tax payments for
1921 would allow each person in the
United States a net income of only
StS7.65 and would result in the pay
ment of only S6.79 per person. Only
