weather conditions. So far they
appear to be pretty satisfactory.
Figures compiled for Mr.. Ford
show that for the past month his
two alI-meta1 monoplanes-Maiden
Dearborn No. and Maiden Dear
born No. 24-have flown back and
forth daily except Sundays between
the Ford flying field at Dearborn
Ton the outskirts OF Detroit and
Chicago.
Each plane-they fly alternate
days - carried upward OF 1000
pounds OF freight and express on
every trip. And these planes wing
their way from Detroit 2S5 miles
to Chicago in about the same time
a New Yorker could ride from City
Hall to Van CortIandt park and
back on the subway.
Make Fast Time.
Putting it another way, they hop
from Detroit to Chicago more
quickly than a DetroIter could get
to Dearborn and back on a street
car from dowtown.
No. / Maiden Dearborn has made
twenty-five trips for total of
/
born has made ten trips for a
total of 500 miles.
Their average time one-way is
two and9a half hours. No l made
the return flight from Chicago in
two hours and five minutes May
%. This is the record.
They leave the Dearborn field at
noon and fly to Chicago and unload
and load again and are back al
ways at 6 p. m.
Only two forced landings have
been necessary. No. plane was
forced to land at LaPorte, Ind, on
the out flight April 90. She car
ried an extra heavy load of ford
parts and tools and mail and be-
cause of a soft field, could not
get started with her big load. The
cargo was taken from LaP0rte to
Chicago by motor truck.
Freight Cost Low.
On May Is. No. plane was
forced down a Niles, Mich. by
reason Of a severe storm. The
load was shipped by motor car to
Chicago and the plane laid over
until the next morning.
Ford freight costs 6k cents a
pound to haul by air. Thus far
the planes have carried about TO-
900 pounds. Last Monday they had
carried exactly 63,S02 pounds. They
have burned 4,321.30 gallons OF
gasoline and 252.S4 gallons cf oil
They can carry 1000 pounds of
freight each but they rarely have
more than $500 pounds. They are
flown by Leroy Manning and Ed
ward Hamilton.

Britons Buying Motors.

London is holding an automobile
show, and it is reported that at the
opening orders Were given for between
s75,00O and $4,000 worth of cars In
the first half hour. In the first five
minutes one British firm obtained an
order for 10000 cars from single
buyer, another sold 1000 and a third
5000. No mention is made in the dis.
patches of how well the American
makes ran in popularity in competi.
tion with the British, though it is said
that many well known American cars
are exhibited and satisfactory sales
are reported by agents"
1t is noted in the report that the
prevailing tendency in the London

is for brighter coIors and gayer deco

heavy demand in England for smaller

run Of the trade. The tiny two-seaters
are extremely popular. Judging, how.

there is a demand for, the higher.

A Supreme Moment.

Not even the wintry wind that
swept over the playing field at Griffith
Stadium yesterday afternoon could
lessen the intensity of the emotion of
tho multitude when in the ninth in
s-..aas of the third game of the world
series the greatest crisis possible in
base ball occurred. The situation was
one that belongs to the historic annals
of the sport. The home team was one
run ahead. The enemy forces had by
two hits and a winged batsman filled
the bases. with one man out. The
heaviest hitters Of the Pirate crew
were coming up. A long fly would
score the tying run. A single would
score probably two runs, an extra
base hit would score three and a home
run into one of the field stands would
score four. Even the most ardent of
the loyalists began to feel shaky.
A batsnan popped up a high fly
that was neatly captured within the
diamond. That eased the situation. A
long fly would yield no run. But a
kind Of safe hit would yield one or
more scores. The game was still in
jeopardy. The most dangerous of the
Buccaneers was at the bat. The Wash
ington pitcher, giving him nothing
GOOD" was in a hole. with three balls
and no strikes. Craftily he twisted
over q couple of strikes. The count
stood three and two. Upon the next
pitch practically depended the game.
