MUNICIPAL AIRPORTS MUST
HAVE RUNWAYS COLONEL LIND
BERGH SAYS

Philadelphia and other cities
which hope to play an important
part in the field of aerial transport
alton will have to construct concrete
runways, as is now the practice in
European cities, according to w. E
McComas, a structural engineer
Muddy landing fields, he maintains
are a more serious menace to air
planes than muddy roads are to
automobiles.
Philadelphia's municipal landing
field, situated in low-lying land
narrowly missed being a sea of mud
when Colonel Lindbergh recently
visited that city. Urged to pass an
opinion on the condition of the field,
he tactfully remarked that it could
be improved with a $500 foot run
way. He made similar suggestions
in Wilmington and other cities on
his 22,3g0 mile areial tour.
In commenting on airport con-
struction in the future Mr.. McComas
said:
More than 1000 airports and in
termediate fields will dot the United
States from coast to coast and from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico by the
end of 1927, according to the Aeron-
autics Branch of the Department of
Commerce.
"a survey just completed by the
Air Information Division shows 865
permanent fields now in use, with
1877 cities definitely considering the
establishment Of municipal airports.
Of present fields, 207 are municipal
ly owned. Chamber of Commerce
business clubs and other civic Or
CARNATIONS are cooperating in the
effort to build up complete airway
and airport system, it is stated.
MANY authorities are urging per-
manent construction for airport
buildings and especially for fields
and runways. Planes for projected
passenger lines, carrying as many
as thirty passengers, such as the
Ford line between Chicago and Los
Angeles, and seven or eight ton
freight planes will require rigid
landing surfaces. Turf and cinders,
it is claimed, will not stand the
wear.
Captain Donald E. Keyhoe, flying
aide to Clonel Lindbergh on his tour
of seventy-five cities, recommended
runways of concrete 100 feet wide,
and Commander Richard E. Byrd, U.
S. N, has suggested that entire
fields to be of concrete, particularly
since this permits landing and TAX
ing off regardless of weather condi-
lions.
European fields leading in the
use of concrete, runways of this ma
terial being reported in service at
the Croydon Airdome in England
and at airports at Dessau, Germany
and Tempelhof, near Berlin.

FAMILY LIFE NOT GOING.

Many of our thinkers believe the
American family is losing its hold
as a social influence. They note
that many people spend only a
small amount of time in their
homes, and they use the home as a
place only to sleep and take some
of their meals in.
Yet it was remarked at recent
conference of social workers on the
problems of family life, that it is an
extremely difficult thing to break up
any family. Social workers will
say, that when they try to take
charge of children who are not be-
ing properly brought up, the par
ents are apt to make the most ser
ious kind of objections, and fight
such proceedings very bitterly.
Parents seem to be just as much
attached to their children as ever
before, and they will raise the most
strenuous objections if anyone tries
to separate them. Family life will
never be broken up, so long as this
attachment exists.
Some may say that the children
do not return this attachment, But
while we hear of many boys and
girls running away, yet in former
years, many boys used to run away
to go out into frontier regions or to
go to sea.
Owing to entertainments, auto
mobiles, sports, ETC., people may not
stay in their homes as much as for
merly. Also there are many who do
not seem to take any particular
pains to have their children brought
up right. But the family gathers
three times day for meals, and the
children can be depended upon to
turn up then, here in Milford they
do anyway. If the parents have any
firmness or moral principle, they
still have plenty of opportunity to
impress good ideas on those rowing
youngsters of theirs. And the pains
which people take to keep up and
beautify their homes, shows that
they care more about family life
than some Of US realize.

DIR. A. E. DOUGLAS SAYS
lO-YEAR FORECAST OF

I Weather forecasts of from five to
ten years in the future will soon be a
according to DR.. A. E. Doug
lass, professor of astronomy at the
University of Arizona, and director of
the Steward observatory, who has
been spending the summer in Flag
staff. He announces that he has made
sufficient progress in the investigation
of tree rings in their relation to eli
mate to warrant belief that he can
now make predictions of weather for
years ahead.
The tree ring experiments OF Dir.
Douglass have attracted the scientific
world and he has just completed
manuscript on climatic cycles and tree
growth which is to be published by the
Carnegie institute.
DIR. Douglass declared that he is
now dealing in weather forecasts OF
from five to ten years in the future.
He also stated that he had found some
actual evidence of climatic cycles that
had made possible first attempt IN
The development of real climatic the
ory.
DR.. Douglass started this interest
ing study in Flagstaff over twenty
years ago and at that time suggested
the possibilities of securing accurate
data as to weather cycles.

Mrs. Moran Tells 1t
TO Springeryile

Mrs. Mary Benjamin Moran, who is
sponsoring the National Hospital for
Tuberculous Children, arrived at
Springerville last Saturday morning,
having come from Tucson where she
hadl been invited by the chamber of
commerce Of that city to look over
the prospects for the location Of the
hospital there. She was offered
everything she asked for, but, seem
ingly, that city is not the best loca-
tion for such an institution. Before
going to Tucson she had visited Flag
staff and there, too, the climatic con-
ditions were not just suited for the
hospital, it was stated.
Monday evening, Mrs. Moran spoke
to the Springeryille Chamber of Com
merce and outlined the purposes of
the National institution, stating she
was more than pleased with the
climatic and other conditions here,
and would lay her findings before the
board of directors at meeting soon
to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylva-
MIA Mrs. Moran was introduced to
the Chamber by Mr.. Gustav Becker,
and the impression she left on the
audience was quite pleasing. She
also said that the hospital would not
necessarily be an exclusive one for
children suffering from tubercular
troubles, but that other children, suf-
fering from ricketts,, could be cared for
in this institution. The first unit Of
the hospital will have five hundred
beds, and the location of same in the
community finally selected means
that it will employ between seven and
eight hundred people. -Springerville
