Measured by actual river stages,
the Mississippi flood of 1927 stands
at the head of the list 1t is not
definitely known If the amount Of
rainfall that caused the 1927 flood
is greater than in the past, however.
Extremely disastrous floods, below the
mouth of the Ohio river, occurred in
1882, 1913, 1922 and 1927. The
floods of 17S5 and 1874 were the worst
on record above the mouth of the
Ohio. Other great floods On the low

~Flivver planes capable of carrying
three or four passengers in an en-
closed, heated cabin, 50 to 100 miles
an hour, for a cost per mile of less
than two cents-imagine LEGO such
planes being manufactured every day
and retailing at about $500 apiece.
Those are Henry Fordis plans accord
ing to an article by Cornelius Wander
bilt, Jr., In the New York American
Henry Ford has been interested in
aviation for some time. Slightly over
a year ago he bought the patents and
inventions of William B Stout, de-
signer and inventor Of the Stout Ali
Metal Airplanes- At that time there
was one brick workshop and hangar
combined; now there are two build
ings, each $50 feet long and 122 feet
wide, in each of which are built and
housed more than thirty large twelve
passenger planes

kept Is the best golf green, more than
a mile square, has been completed,

than 100 planes simultaneously
Among other things, Ford is per-
fecting the small, personal plane,
better known as the flivver plane.
This is a tiny affair, similar in size
to the small automobiles one sees in
Europe
1T viii be more than two years
before this type of plane has been
completely tested and proved prac-
icable, and then the Ford Company
will, In all probability, be manufac-
turing 1000 or so of these a day,
which viii retail for about $500 apiece
and will probably burn a composition
Of alcohol These small planes will
be able to land on water or land.
They viii probably be of mono
plane design, with Widespread Of
less than twenty feet, and with fold
ing wings, similar to the Moth plane,
in which Sir Alan Gotham flew from
London to Melbourne, Australia, and
back this summer In all probability
they Will be operated by an extremely
small single engine of three to five
cylinder, air-cooled radial design, and
travel 500 miles without re-fueling-
1t is quite possible these flivver
planes will be manufactured in two
designs, four-seater and a two-seaIer,
and viii stand not over six feet from
the ground. Each cabin will be
equipped in leather, with heating and
ventila1ing apparatus, electric lights,
including searchlight for night land
ing, and with isinglass windows in
front and on the sides
Ford believes that there are mill
lions of people in the world who could
afford and would welcome quick,
cheap, safe means of air travel and
who are potential customers for such
a type Of plane.
But there is at present the bug
aboo of the airplane motor which has
not been solved. Ford engineers, Of
course, may not solve it themselves;
it may come from the outside, yet,
whoever the inventor is, he may be
certain of becoming a very wealthy
man within a few years time. Every
thing at the command of the gigantic
Ford concern would be at his dis
posal; to put America where il be-
longs in the air history Of civiliza-
tion-first"
Ford dotted the earth with '-fliv-
vers"-will he fill the air with fly
ing flivvers?"

RIGHT OF WAY FIXED
IN NEW MOTOR CODE
Question of Rights at Crossings,
Turns, Settled. Pedestrians
Recognized i'm Law.

The question as to the right of way
which has led to many disputes, ac-
cidents and law suits, is clearly de-
lined In the new Minnesota highway
traffic code. The provisions in the
new law are in accord with court de-
cisions and results of practical ex-
perience- If observed by motorists in
Pine county and elsewhere, it should
greatly reduce the number of acct
dents resulting from arguments over
the right of way. Here are the pro-
visions of the new law on this CUES
ton:
When two vehicles approach an
intersection at about the same
time, the vehicle on the right
shall have the right of way, but
vehicle travelling at an unlaw-
full speed shall forfeit any right
it may otherwise have This sec
ton applies to both motor We
hicles and street cars
The driver of vehicle or street
car approaching but not having
entered an intersection, shall
yield the right of way to a We
hicle or street car within the in
tersection making a left turn
across the path Of travel of the
first mentioned vehicle or street
car, provided the driver of the
vehicle has given plain signal
nf his Sn4n ,af
Drivers of all vehicles shall
yield the right of way to pedes-
TRANS at regular crossings in the
business and residence portions
of any municipality. Pedestrians
shall yield the right Of way at
other places in the business or
residence sections TO vehicles On
the street or highway
Vehicles coming out Of alleys =
or private roads or drireways
shall yield the right Of way TO
vehicles on the street or highway.
If the view is obstructed, they
must stop before crossing the side
walk or entering the highway.
Ambulances and police and fire
vehicles shall have the right of
way over all other vehicles, but
this does not relieve the driver of
ambulance or police or fire We
hicle from the duty TO drive with
due regard TO the safety Of all
persons upon the highway.
When a fire or police vehicle or
ambulance approaches and gives an
audible signal by<means Of a bell,
siren, or exhaust whistle, drivers of
other vehicles must go as close TO the
right hand curb as possible, clear Of
any Intersection, and remain there
until the ambulance or police or fire
vehicle has passed unless otherwise
directed by the police. Use Of sirens
on other than fire or police cars and
ambulances is prohibited.
1t is also made unlawful 10 follow
within 500 feet Of any fire apparatus
responding TO an alarm, or 10 drive
into or park within the block where
such fire apparatus has stopped, IN
less permitted by a police or fire de-
partment officer.
