Discusses Economic Height"

What is the true economic height
of a building? Some individual studies
are available, but too general and full
of impractical assumptions, The
problem is complicated and must take
into account varying units of cuhage
cost, building efficiency, cuhage load
ing per square foot of land, type of
structure, architectural treatment,
construction methods, etc, which con-
stantly change with increasing height
When all engineering. economic and
accounting factors are considered,
strongly suspect that in the usual
high-value districts Of our large
cities the true economic height will
be closer 10 stories than 20. Later
we may be able to prove this.
This economic height should be
the starting point of a reconsideration
of height zoning. 1t is rather amaz.
ing that between twenty-five to thirty
million people live under zoning ordi-
nances by fiat limitations without this
all-important question having been
determined. New light is needed, and
a better understanding of economic
height will probably suffice to SUBJ
stitute understanding and. co.opera-
ton for the present bitter contest.
Other Important Factors.
"Finally. there are some important
factors entirely outside of the control
of the. building industry. The ques-
tion Of sidewalk and street traffic at
tributable to building should be
measured by rush hour. not all day
movement. Some one has stated that
for the same originated street traffic
an office building could be built Is
stories high, loft buildings nine stories
and department stores only three
stories. But this does not tell the
whole story. The real problem Of
mass traffic and transportation in our
cities is in the peak loads, morning,
noon and evening. Modern transit
systems handle in the maximum rush
hour perhaps 20 per cent of the total
traffic and at least the entire popula.
tion once a day. The 15-minute peaks
run far higher Department store
traffic, on the other hand. fills up the
non-rush period"
Among those who attended this dis.
cussion Of building heights were Lieut.
Col. Grant, member of the local Zon-
ing Commission; John Ihlder of the
civic development department of the
United States Chamber of Commerce;
John III. Hanna, president of the Cap
ital Traction Co.. and Charles w.
Eliot, I'd. city planner of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.

WORKED ON OLD GLORY
 BEFORE IT TOOK OFF
Thomas F. Butler Helped to Service Missing
 Airplane

Among the many following with great interest the oceanic search be- ing made in the hope of locating Old Glory and it's crew. is Thomas F. Butler of Highland street, who was one of the two mechanics em- ployed by the Curtiss Airplane Co. in 'servicing" the plane prior to the takeoff on the ill-fated trip.
 During the final weeks of prcpa- ration. Butler was closely associated with Lloyd Bertaud and James D. Hill both of whom evidenced great concern in the mechanism of their ship. They subjected the plane to the most severe tests possible and just prior to their hopoff, expressed confidence that Old Glory was ca pable of buffcting the strongest ob- stacles.
 The local mecha nician, who is now associated with the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Co. in Hartford, today declared Old Glory to be the most beautiful and one of the stur- dest heavier -than-air ships he has ever examined. No detail of con- struction or mechanics which might in any way increase the safety of the plane was overlooked and 1t was his opinion that the ship would sue cessfully undertake the transatlan- tic hop.
 in his association with Bertaud and Hill, Butler was impressed by their earnest desire to attain the distinction Of crossing the Atlantic in an airplane and the courage and perseverance with which they went about their preparation preliminary to the flight.
 Butler was not present at the takeoff. having left Long Island be- fore that time to become connected with the Hartford concern. He has followed every detail of the search with great interest and still enter tains a hope that the fliers will be fDNp1

LONDON PRESS JOINS
 IN FLIGHT PROTESTS
Considers Atlantic Hops "Perilously Like Paid
 Suicide"

London, Sept, 10 Ps-Firm con- viction that some steps are needed to prevent further loss of life in transatlantic flight attempts is voic- ed by number of the London morning newspapers Some Of the writers regard as vain the proposed legal restraints on these courageous ventures. but they generally agree that flying boats must be used in- stead of planes unsuited to alight- ing on water.
 Legislation cannot curb mans courage, but the weight of general opinion may cool foolhardy mans ardor." says the Daily Telegraph.
 The Daily News says: "The risks are increased when rich men offer tempting prizes for a successful pas sage and when intending competi- tors are provoked by impotence or false pride into making a start in weather that condemns them to death before their aircraft is out of sight"
 Until more progress has been made in solving the scientific and mechanical problems of adapting airplanes to transoceanic flying. the Daily Chronicle believes that fur ther Atlantic attempts will be per ilously like paid suicide"
 Differing with some of It's col leagues. the paper thinks the vari- ous governments need more legal powers to control flights from their territory" adding: "A flight Is far reaching affair in which political as well as physical risks may some times be run"
 Tn the opinion Of the Daily Mall the recent flights testify to the vast influence of the weather on the success or failure Of such an under taking. and the recent casualties prove hat the wrong type Of ma chine Is being used for transoceanic trips.

Giuseppe Febrini Declared in This Country Without Permit
BOND MAY BE FORFEITED
Anonymous Tip to Immigration Au- thoritics Leads to Discovery New Britain Man Had Entered United States Illegally in April, 1920.

 Febrini formerly lived on Lawlor street. On July 4 of last year, he was arrested by Detective Sergeant William P. McCue for Immigration Inspector William M. Clark. as the result of receipt of an anonymous let ter charging that he was in this country unlawfully. At that time a bond was furnished through the Fidelity & Casualty Co.,, of New York city and an investigation has been conducted since that time. Febrini was to have furnished proof that he entered the United States legally.
 He came to this country in April, 1920, and efforts of the immigration authorities 10 obtain a record of his admittance at the port of New York were fruitless
 At the time of his arrest he en- gagged Attorney David l.. Nair of the firm Of Nair X Nair, this city, and Attorney Edward Mascolo of Wa terbury as his counsel.

 Do you still intend to make the flight" he was asked.
 We have not changed our opinion and are still resolved to fly" Wood replied.
 "The only thing that would deter us would be an absolute command from our packers. If it is called off a public statement must be made saying that we were ordered not to make the flight so that there will be no opening for criticism or for a charge that we were quitters."
 Both Schiller and Wood expressed the hope that the flight committee will not call off the flight.
