The Airman is built for higher average
speed-from its finely balanced, flexible
chassis to its famous air cooled motor.
No motor has such complete disregard
for road or weather conditions as an air
cooled motor. No car has the road
ability and riding comfort of an Airman.
With 249o greater power, with syn
chronized 4-wheel hydraulic brakes,
the Airman adds more miles to each
hours travel and sets new mark for
distance ability among all automobiles.
If you know the meaning of higher aver
age speed and appreciate the advantages
of this quality, you must have had ride

delightful experience awaits you. k->ve

comfortable mile-a-minute car ever built.

SMALLER PROFITS
PREDICTED IN 1928
Commerce Department Ex-
pert Mentions lnterindustry
/ Competition in Report.

sProfitless prosperity with sharp
competition in most lines and narrow
profits was pictured today as the bust
ness outlook for 1928. Ray NJ. Hud-
son. of the Commerce Department. de-
clared that purchases and volume OF
output will be greater than this year,
even though the profit per unit or
sale will be less. according 10 business
leaders with whom the department
has been in recent communication.
Sharp competition will mark the bust
ness progress of the year.
81 Mr.. Hudson laid the prospect Tor
smaller profits in 1928 to non-app!'
cation of simplification and standardi-
zs,fion TO current business problems.
I'm seeking for causes of smaller
surofit margins" he said 1--WE may well
question whether or not the new. or
inter-industry competition. has result
ed in lowering prices before those
economies in production which would
sustain profit at the lower prices nave

whether igh-presSure selling. either

absorb hitherto idle or unused pro-
ductive capacity. has not increased the
costs of doing business. Ana again
whether or not the demand for style
and the consequent diSersification of
product have run up inventories and
their costs to carry, as well as manu'
featuring and selling costs.
zone ma jor result of the prevalent
greater individual prosperity Is the
growing demand for more style, for
more beautiful things. for more art
in industry. Recognition OF this de
mand has added more varieties to
many manufacturers line and IN
eases where obsoleted varieties have
not been dropped. this diversiicatlon
has undoubtedly increased inventories
and likewise production and sales
costs. In such cases, simpiilicatlon
OF the line to current numbers only
would relieve some of the burden.
Efforts to keep pace with too rapidly
changing styles have also cut INTO
otherwise normal profits. Too hlgh

COST Of CONGRESS
AIR REPORTS HUGE
Equipment for Broadcasting
Proceedings Would Require
$3,3OO,CO0 Expenditure.

The War and Navy Departments
would not be able to broadcast the
proceedings of the Senate by radio
throughout the country without ex-
pending large sum for new equip
ment at various locations, according
to report submitted to The Senate
in response to a resolution adopted
in 1924. in which the Secretaries of
War and Navy were requested to
study the feasibility Of such broad
ca st.
The resolution also sought informa-
etion as 10 the possibility of equipping
the Senate chamber with a public adj
dress system TO enable members in all
parts of the hall to hear clearly the
proceedings regardless of the tone of
voice used.
The report just filed declares that
such an installation lis impracticable
at the present stage of the art of
radio or telephone transmission"
With regard to the broadcasting OF
Senate proceedings throughout the
land the report reaches the conclusion
that it would require an initial eX-
penditure of 100000 and an annual
,ost of approximately 81. 1880 for up.
keep and maintenance.
The subject was gone into by a joint
commission appointed by the Secre-
taries of War and Navy. and the re-
port outlines in detail the obstacles
that would have to be overcome.
I'm the past five years., the report
states. 1.-The widespread interest in
broadcasting has forced the Army
and Navy out of the frequency band
normally used for broadcasting of
speech and music. Consequently.
the Army and Navy have no appara-
tus i'm this particular band worthy of
mention. The frequency used by
broadeasting stations determines the
frequency bands of all existing
broadcast receivers, and in order to
reach the listening public all broad
casting must be within the required
hands. AS natural result the
Army and Navy would he required
to purchase suitable broadcasting
'transmitters for installation at their
various stations"

Report to Congress yesterday by the
District Commissioners that they fa-

ers' market. which now rests on the
site for the Internal Revenue Building,
is expected to hasten the work of the
latter structure. Just how soon the
sheds may be moved remains to be de-
yeloped. The Treasury Department
has funds available to take them down
and move them to a new location,
but under decision of Controller Gen.
eral McCarl the Treasury may not
use these funds to re-erect the sheds.
The Commissioners must obtain funds
for this. In their report they esti-
mated sum Of $4,000 would be
needed for, this.
Press Condemnation.
Condemnation proceedings are going
through the final stages for acquisi-
ton by the Government of another
part of the Internal Revenue site,
known as square No. $50, bounded by
Tenth. Eleventh, Little B and c
streets. When title is turned over to
the Government old buildings there
will be RACED and the site prepared for
excavation.
Although a steam shovel Is now In
operation on one square of the rev.
enue site, the contract under which it
is working calls for excavation of only
about one-fourth of the eventual site
of the building. The farmers market
and square $50 occupy the other three
fourths, and the Treasury is hoping to
get this three-fourths for going ahead
on excavation and construction early
next year. Details of when this will
be worked out have not yet been
decided.
