TEN YEARS AGO TO-DAY

(From The Times Recorder. Oct. 16,

The meeting of the Young Mems
Democratic League at the Armory
last night resulted in a most en-
thusiastic demonstration in the in
terest Of Mr.. Lee G. Council, whose
candidacy for mayor is advocated
by the league. Mr.. E. A. Nisbet was
presented as the first speaker, who
was then followed by Messrs. T. G..
Hudson, G. r. Ellis, J. A. Fort, l.
J. Kalmon, H. 0. Jones, George w.
Riley, F. w. Griffin and Henry La
nier, all of them paying meri.ed
tribute to Mr.. Council as a thorough
and capable business man.
Raymond Dawson, faithful little
messenger boy at the Western Union
office, has recovered from recent
illness with fever and will go back
upon the job next week.
The announcement tiday Of Mr.
H. o. Jones for aldermanic honors
is the fourth entry into that interest
ing race, and his many frienNs will
support his candidacy with pleasure.
Americas people and those of the
county as well, no doubt regret now
that the movement made earlier in

the Times Recorder, to have a Sum

The Day of the Airplane
Near

Near
Henry Ford is building an
aviation field near his tractor
plant at Dearborn, Mich. He will
experiment. Possibly he con-
templates producing cheap air
planes by the millions.
The time is almost ripe for
that.
Ford in business imagines
nothing but facts. In an inter
view in Collier Weekly he said:
"Airplanes can be CONNER
cially developed as soon as they
are taken up in a commercial
way. AS soon as we know as
much about them as we do about
automobiles-and that will not
be long - then they can be
built by the thousands or by the
millions"
Ford apparently realizes that
the airplane industry is on the
wrong track. Its main goals are
speed and long flights.
For that reason, the airplane
is not being developed and
brought into popular use hun
dredth part as fast as if the main
objects were safety and cheap
manufacturing.
s-- People will buy airplanes
when they are safe and fool
proof.
They will buy airplanes when
planes give cheaper service than
autos.
Ford has uncannily far vision
in his particular industry. Does
he sense that the number of
autos in use in America has
about reached the saturation
point or possible limit-and that
the time is ripe for another
means of transportation.
Primitive man could move
about only by his own legs.
Then he tanned the horse and
camel and elephant to carry
him.
Next came the steam railroad
and electric street car, then the
auto. These did not displace
the horse, as was the early fear.
Time demonstrates that we need
as many horses as ever. The job
of transportation simply got too
big for the horse alone. He
needed help.
Similarly, the Job is getting
too big for the auto. Traffic
congestion is becoming unbear-
ably acute in cities, where autos
are needed most. The airplane
is the logical solution. Its
streets is not curbed by side
walks and blocks or buildings.
Where autos are limited to
roads, planes have the entire at
zsmosphere - and many levels.
Also, no roads to pave and re-
pair.
Experts say that saturation
point of auto sales is far from
being reached. The number of
passenger autos and trucks reg
istered in the United States July
& was 5, 469,840. This was a
gain of only about $4,000 in
SIX months, compared with an
increase of more than two mil
lions in the preceding half-year.
Dull business conditions ac-
count considerably for the fall
ing off in car purchases. Maybe,
too, an exceptionally large
Rumber of cars went to the
junkman the first six months this
gyear. Some experts place the
ultimate auto saturation point
as high as Is million cars.
Meantime, airplanes will develop
