DETROIT, Sept. 23.-Airplanes
operated by the Ford Motor Com
pany on regular schedule carrying
freight between Dearborn, Chicago,
Cleveland and Buffalo, during the
last two and a half years, have flown
distance equal to approximately
twenty seven times around the
world.
This is shown by the official re-
port of Ford airplane operations up
to Sept. 1.
At present, the report shows, the
Ford Motor Company is operating
three separate air freight lines. The
first, between Dearborn and Chi
cago, was instituted April 13, 1925.
The second, between Dearborn and
Cleveland, began operation July l.,
1925, and the third, between Dear
born and Buffalo, was added March
%, 1927.
Operate Daily
All three lines have been operat-
ing on daily round-trip schedules,
except Sundays and holidays, since
they were inaugurated.
( The three lines have completed
1888 trips, over a distance of SIC, 297
mile, in 1928 hours and As minutes
of flying time. In all the operations
only ninety forced landings have
been made, each of which was made
successfully on g suitable field.
OF these, fifty-four we're caused by
severe weather disturbances and
thirty-six were due to mechanical
troubles. Only one fatal accident,
resulting IN the death of a pilot, has
occurred in the operation of these
airways since they we're inaugurated
and this accident was attributed to
one of the severest storms on record
in the territory through which the
ship was flying.

been carried by the Ford air lines Up
to Sept. /.
The planes employed in the op-
Grafton of these lines are all of Ford
Stout monoplane design and are
constructed entirely of metal.
Several of the newer ships are of
the three-motor type, capable of
transporting q load of approximate
ly two tons. The older planes are
somewhat smaller and are powered
by a single motor.

A Home Coming Week" for Mon
n That Is what Joseph Sullivan,
assistant business manager OF the New
York World suggests, and he declares
his belief that at least 100 former Mon
tanans now In the metropolis would
come home again for such q celebra-
tiOn.
The suggestion was made q few davs
ago In New York to A. w. Merkle, state
manager OF the Prudential Insurance
company, h has Just returned from q
trip that included New York, New Jer-
sey and several states in the middle west.
Looking to Montana

among farmers, investors and CONNER
cial agencies" sal MIR. Merkle. Scores
of men In New York City, Chicago end
Detroit wanted to know about the pro-
gressive highway program n all arc
know Of he opportunity for securing
land at reasonable prices.
Speaking of the weather." he contin-
ued, "of the i've weeks / was away, I en-
1oyed but four days OF sunshine and ono
OF these four was after we struck tho
Montana line coming home" He spoke
most favOrably OF the service he secured
through having an A. A. A.. sign on his
automobile.
With Ted Barker, cashier of the Clark
bank. and James Talbot, former Butte
druggist. now OF Manhattan, Mr.. Merkle
motored from Detroit to Louisville to
witness the Kentucky derby. MIR. Bark
er purchased the car at the Detroit fac
tory Of the Cadillac company. The speed
ometer showed $500 miles when the car
reached Butte.
At New York Mr.. Merkle met Joseph
Sullivan, assistant business manager OF
the New York World. Mr.. Sullivan's
father was an old-time shiftboss on the
hill" His suggestion for a Montana

eagerly by Mr.. Merkle.
While the business sessions Of the Pru-
dental managers were held at Newark,

In force In United States life insurance,

(BY MRS. NJ. E. PLASSMANNl

"HE question of dress must be an i'm
portant one for women, SO long as
their success in every walk OF life
depends upon their ability to at
tract. 1t is not their matrimonial
chances alone which are affected by their
of dress: 1t is generally admitted
that the well-dressed woman is given the
preference in business, either as an en-
ploye or as the manager of affairs. A
woman's position socially hinges more
upon what she wears than upon what
she knows.
Do women dress to please other wom-
en-, or simply to win the Of
men? There has never been given q sat
isfactory answer to this question. Some
women love fine clothes as other women
enjoy art or literature. and there are
plenty of men who like to be we'll
dressed. We call the latter dudes or
handles. yet originally it was the male
ever of the human race who delighted in
decking himself out for the admiration
of others. Prince Macmillan was sur
prised to note that the Indian men cared
more about dress than did the Indian
women. This was probably always the
case among primitive people. the dandy
OF civilization being simply a case OF re-
version.
1t costs money-a good zeal OF ito
dress we'll. as all can testify; how much
money is required varies with the posi-
tlOu OF Ine WOMAN. Olny u Ulultl-ulll-
lionaire can afford to be shabbily at
tired. Our conviction of equality of sta
ton is so strong, that the office girl or
any woman who works for q living. cam
not afford to advertise the fact by her
manner OF dress, and for this reason
Office girls go to their daily tasks wear
ing garments their grandmothers would
have reserved for festive occasions. They
do 1t to hold their jobs.
Not long ago some forty women en-
gagged in different kinds of work were in
terviewed to discover the least amour of
money which must be expended or
clothes in order to make a respectable
appearance. These stated that 1t was
impossible to get along on less than
$1,000 a year. But there are many women
whose wages are less than this sum-. How
do these manage?
This question was asked by a Montana
man of the manager of a large depart
ment store in Chicago. His wife-a friend
of mine-overheard the reply: They can
get a gentleman friend"
1t would seem to a casual observer
that the initiation of a movement for
the encouragement Of plain, sensible
dress was well within the province Of
our women's clubs. and this movement
should begin in our schools. 1t is not
