MODEL AIRWAYS OVER 4,OOO MILES
Army Maintains Schedule With
 out Fatalities

Fairfield, Ohio, June 25 tPs-The Model Airways of the Army for five years have maintained, without a fatality, d regular schedule of flights for passengers and freight
 Since April, 1921, this group has covered more than a million miles in the air over four thousand miles of routes which now are accurately mapped and organized thorough fares. The system is operated un- der the chief of air service through an airway control officer, IL. l.. J. Maitland of Wright Field, here.
 ships start Simultaneously
 Airways trips have averaged two thousand miles for each army pilot, all of whom take turns in making the flights and usually cover two days. Ships start simultaneously from certain flying fields, such as Boiling. Langley, Selfridge, Scott, and Mitchell Fields, and move over charted lines on schedule. Some times the flyers cross en route; sometimes their ways coincide in part.
 They fly over all kinds of ground, in all seasons, and tabulate with the most minute accuracy every point

regarding ground and air conditions. l. is by means of these repeated first hand reports that information governing selection of routes, speeds. attitudes, length Of hops and other vital details has been brought to the point of usefulness for virtually all of the United States. Night flights over the army airways arranged for the technical equipment necessary to keep the mails going.
 \ Passengers Diary
 A service passenger, on his first long hop" over the airways, de- scribed the experience as follows: "A longing look at the ground near St. Louis, a big bump, and on the ground again outside Louisville. Up again and smoothly down again at Dayton, Average speed 115 miles per hour. Average height 2.000 feet. Dayton to Washington, practically no difference. D. C. to Mitchell Field, much the same, except fewer bumps over the water"
 Scheduled army flights heretofore have run on q weekly basis, but on June 1 they were restricted 10 one per month from each starting point. II is hoped that in the fall, funds and equipment will be available to put Douglas Transports on the air ways. permitting the carrying of seven passengers on each trip.

SUMMER CAMP AT

Presidents Lodge Center Of
 Noted Group

Paul Smiths N. Y, June 25 P)- In selecting the IIirkwood camp on Osggood Lake for his summer White House. President Coolidge chose q section of the Adrondacks long famous for the prominent per sons who come here from many parts Of the country.
 The settlement at Paul Smiths, the community nearest the presiden- tial camp, comprises a summer ho- ;el and a large number Of lodges on Lower St. Regis lake. A list of the landholders around the small body Of water would seem to have been culled from the social registers.
 Paul Smiths Is named for the man who was a pioneer in opening this part of the Adirondacks to city people. Smith, a native of Vermont,
New Britain herald., 1926-06-25

In 1859 purchased 50 acres of land and erected a little lodge near the shore. His skill as a woodsman, his ability as q story teller and the ex- cellence Of his table soon were re- ported abroad and it was not long before visitors were coming from afar. Theodore Roosevelt, E. H. Hartman, J. P Morgan, Dr. Ed ward Livingston Trudeau. Anson Phelps Stokes, William Rockefeller and scores Of other notables have been his guests, And every guest be- came a warm friend.
 Paul Smith was q man Of vision. The fifty acres were gradually eX- tended until they embraced vast preserve. Many of his wealthy guests purchased preserves of their own, often from him. The St. Regis chain of lakes became famous. The Paul Smith lodge grew into a mod ern summer hotel.
 Paul Smith died in Montreal in 1912 leaving the property to his sons. The hotel company now ownes 30, 900 acres of mountain and lake country.

If We can preserve foods by con centrating them rather than by us ing preserva.ives We will have made a great economic gain. It is towards these ends that we are working.
 Food crops when harvested con tain certain constituents which should be preserved. Among these are proteins, fats, carbohydrates bone-producing mineral salts, acdss and volatile oils which give flavor, digestive enzymes, and the important food accessories known as vitamines.
 Fruits in All Seasons.
 AS an illustration. the study of the chemical, physical and biological properties of milk has resulted in the preparation Of dry milk in which the original constituents of the fluid are retained in an unchang ed condition. This concentrated food, it has been found, can be shipped great distances and kept for a long period of time. and still retain the characteristics of it's original state.
 By somewhat similar methods why would it not be possible and practicable to process fruits and grains so that the crops could be used in their entirety each year,mak- ing them available not only during the season but at other times, and assuring the farmer of a market for all he could raise?"

CONGRESS STRIVES
FOR FARM RELIEF.
President Not Committed to
Any Pending Bill, But Is
Awaiting Developments.

BY the Associated Press.
With House consideration of a crop
surplus bill assured by Representa-
tive Tilson Of Connecticut, Republican
leader, President Coolidge IS main
tanning an open. mind with respect to-
the Tincher bill embodying Secretary
Jardines proposal TO aid farmers in
marketing their products through a
farm commission provided with a. re-
Volving fund out of the Treasury.
Chairman Haugen of the House
agricultural committee, which has
held hearings for seven weeks on the
corn belt and other bills, has been
directed meanwhile to draft a pro-
posal along his own ideas. The com
mittee. however, is not pledged to
support his plan. which probably will
bring together some of the provisions
of the McNary-Haugen bill which
failed to receive congressional ap-
proval two years ago, and of the corn
belt measure, with the equalization
fee proposed in the latter applicable
to the first sales OF wheat, corn. cat
tie and hogs. Both plans contain the
farm board idea
While the President is not commit
ted one way or the other. and will
wait until the opinions Of farm group
members in Congress have been
brought out, he is inclined toward the
principle Of the TinCher bill in pro
Niding for assistance without putting
the Government in the business of
buying and selling crop surpluses.
Mr.. HauEen, on the other hand, would
have the proposed board authorized
TO buy and sell products if the price
should fall below the world market
quotation plus the import tariff on
that commodity. and would empower
the President to change tariff rates
to any point necessary to protect
farmers from foreign competition.

CHANGE IN PARKING

violation of the restricted parking
regulation, but pointed out that he Is
confident that the majority of the
first three months of the current year
were for this infraction.
Both Maj. Hesse and Director Ed
ridge indicated that their recommends
tions would not include abolition of
all daytime parking in the congested
district The police chief said that
this restriction would come inevitably,
but that Washington is not yet ready
for it. Director Eldridge said that
such prohibition would not meet the
approval Of the merchants.
More Letters Received.
Mr. Eldridge's mail this morning
contained a number of additional sug-
ges+ions from the public as how to
improve the traffic situation, but none,
he said, advanced a practical plan.
These letters were cent to the traffic
director in response to his appeal to
the public to aid him in solving the
problem which the Commissioners
have presented
The traffic director said that he
procured number of valuable ideas
regarding operators permits during
his visit in Baltimore and Harrisburg,
and would submit them to the Com
missinners for consideration. The one
which seemed to make the deepest
impression is the system used in
both Maryland and Pennsylvania for
issuing learners permits TO drivers
under instruction.
While Washington issues temporary
permits to new drivers, he explained,
it does not require a person learning
to drive machine TO procure per
NIT.
A learners permit system5 he de-
clared, would break up the common
practice in the District of unlicensed
drivers who operate machines and
escape the penalty of the law be
cause they have some one in the car
with them who has secured permit.
The learners permit. according TO
Mr.. Eldridge could be issued for Il
period of Is days. and when the
holder feels confident he can pass
the prescribed examination he could
report to the Traffic Bureau and
qualify within that period. Holders
Of these learners permits would be
required to have an experienced
driver in the machine with them
during instruction.
