Bonnet, with all due despect to him
and with the greatest admiration for
his nerve, landed his FerboiS at 120
miles an hour, / am told. There is
nothing to be gained in aviation by
building a plane like that. Whenever
you increase the landing speed you
admit to the world that YOU have
rea ched the limit on refinement of
design and construction. Anybody
could clip the wings of a high speed
ster and make unheard-of records,
but they wouldn't mean anything.
Ny plane will have some military
value, whereas the Frenchmans can
only be operated under the most
favora BILE conditions
Diving Now Prohibited.
Lieut. Williams first objective is
the maximum speed record for a g.
kilometer course. This requires the
pilot to stay within an altitude of
1900 feet and in aying across the
speed zone he must be in horizontal
position for at least so meters be-
fore he enters the timing area. Once
in this area he cannot fly above so
feet. Diving from dizzy heights now
is taboo. Lieut.. Williams dived from
5000 feet in November, 1928, to
establish the worlds record of 266
miles per hour.
Then there is the ma Ximum speed
record for seaplanes for a 3-kilo-
meter course. now held by Lieut..
Jamese II. Doolittle, Army Air Corps,
at 245713 miles per hour. Then
comes maximum speed for specified
distances for both land and sea
planes of 100. 200, 500. 1000, 1900
kilometers and by multipleS of 500 to
an indefinite figure. Lieut.. Williams
does not look beyond the 500-kilo-
meter speed figure.
Although efforts are being made to
complete the ship in time. it is I'M
likely that it will be entered in the
Schneider international Seaplane speed
trophy to be held in Norfolk, Octo-
Der "a
Test Flight at Mitchell Field.
Because all of the records Lieut..
Williams is seeking for this country
and few new ones besides are rec
Ords against time, the campaign can
be held whenever the conditions APP
pear to be the most favorable. The
test flight of the plane probably will
be made at Mitchell Field, Long Island.
Included amoung those who have
pledged cooperation for the asking
are secretary OF tne Navy w llDur ana
Rear Admiral William A. Moffett,
chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics.
Lieut.. Williams. formerly a pitcher
with the New York Giants, graduated
from Georgetown Law School last
year. and three months ago passed the
bar examination for the State of New
York. Within the last month he has
taken and successfully passed the eX-
animation for lieutenant, senior grade
United States Navy.
Lieut.. Williams has been granted a
three-month leave with privilege of
another three month extension. He
is living here temporarily, and as the
plane nears completion he will go to
New York.

Good Roads in North Dakota
(MinneapOlis Journ;

The people of North Dakota want good roads and
ready to pay for them. In the recent state pr-
mary they adopted the two-cent gas tax law, which
had been referended to them.
Under this law the entire yield Of the gasoline tax
will be devoted to road improvement, instead of be.
ing partially diverted to other state purposes is
the practice with the present onecent gasoline tax
North Dakota, blessed with good natural roads,
has Jagged somewhat in their improvement for mo-
torzed traffic. There are, for example, only seven
miles Of paved road, and less than eight hundred
miles Of graveled road. This leaves nearly seven
thousand miles Of highway to be improved-a sys-
tenn comparable in length with that of Minnesota.
Last year the gasoline tax yielded $65OyOOO Of
which 100000 went for state administrative ex.
penses, leaving less than half million for the
roads, The law will yield one and third mil
lion dollars annually at first, and more as the use
Of the roads increases.
With this amount in hand the highway depart
ment, cooperating with the counties, will be able
to make better of federal aid and to show rapit
progress in giving the state system Of good, all
weather roads.
Meanwhile, the gasoline tax will be collected pain
lessly and at small expense from the very VIII
stand to benefit most by the improvement and il
! precise ratio to their use of the roads,

Editorial Comment
Another Newspaper Sale
New York Times)


It seems fitting and fortunate that The Kansas
City Star, which had to be sold under the will of
its founder and owner for many years. the late
Colonel Nelson, is to be retained in the hands of its
present management. As in the earlier case of The
Daily News of Chicago, there were outside bidders
for the property. In both instances the trustees
favored sale to those already in charge. The price
paid for The Kansas City Star, along with its MORN
ing edition, The Kansas City Times, may have
seemed high to those who did not know the value
of the property. Doubtless it included considerable
real estate. But The Star has long been known not
only really successful but uncommonly useful
newspaper. For many years it went into great
numbers of Kansas farmhouses a first-cass edu-
cational influence. Its habit of printing q great
deal of miscellaneous but accurate information
about science, invention exploration. literature,
schools and colleges made it sort of university ex
tension for boys and girls on Kansas farms well
as in Kansas City itself.
Oversight should not be made of the fact that the
money realized from the sale of this newspaper is
to be applied to an art foundation in Kansas City,
This was the form in which Colonel Nelson by his
will sought to do something for his profession, and
at the time to express his appreciation of what
the city in its growth had done for the expansion
and prosperity of his newspaper. The whole is q
magnificent endowment, and also worthy memoir
ial to who was so long and so honorably great
figure in the newspaper world of the middle west.
