Ambassador Morrow has been greeted

President Gales on his dairy farm,

milking machines. but didn't mention
one word about the petroleum dispute

Besides safety and economy, other
elements in commercial aviation are

these angles the methods of design

Warner Would Assure Plane Passengers
That Flying Actually Is ''Safe and Sane"

The word thrill should be dis
ISOLATED from flying in the opinion of
Edward p. Warner, Assistant Secre'
tary of the Navy for Aeronautics. In
a report to the Society of Automotive
Engineers he says that potential air.
plane passengers should be convinced
that air travel is not only safe and
sane, but that it positively approa ches
being staid and monotonous.
OF the five major elements in the
development of transport by air,
safety has been of the greatest con-
Germ. since fear of the air has been
the most serious barrier. Secretary
Warner believes that those who are
interested in aeronautic advance in
service or commercial aviation should
do all they can to indicate to the
public that steady operations with
little news value are more important
than momentary sensations. Such
performances as that which captured
the Schiff Trophy for Capt. Harold d.
Campbell. who flew $40 hours in regu-
lar Marine Corps operation during the
year with no damage of any kind to
the airplane and. of course, no injury
to persc mel, should do much for the
development and extension of com.
mercial aviation in the United States.
Sees Reluctance Diminishing.
The inbred reluctance to go into
the air has been greatly overcome in
the last three years, he believes. Re-
liability and economy are now more
serious barriers to public support.
What is best may be cheapest in the
end. but 1t Is nothing If not avail
able. What about the man who can
not raise money to buy the best?

developed by the concentration of
scientific and engineering talent dur

than II Is worth commercially. A
cheaper and heavier engine with
more cast iron and fewer duralumin

solution. Economy Of first cost and

Backed by Thomas Edison, a quiet
one-man rubber exploration of the
semi-arid lands in southwestern Texas
and the adjacent territory in Mexico
has been carried on during the past
few weeks. DIR. j. y. Rose of the
United States National Herbarium
was the personnel of the eXpedi-
ton, and he has brought back to
Washington a number of specimens of
plants suspected of rubber-yielding
possibilities.
THE plants I paid most attention
TO were those belonging to the milk
weed and euphorbia or spurge fam
ilies," said DIR. Rose. THE milkweeds
have long been known to have rubber
in their milky juice, but so far it has
not been found in paying quantities.
The euphorbias include such familiar
plants as the Christmas thorn and the
poinsettia, and are somewhat more
distantly related to the heva, or para
rubber tree, now the chief source of
our rubber.
1.-THE most promising species
found was one member of the euphor.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Prices
in the main body of stocks displayed
a steady tone in the weekend
session despite bad breaks in special
issues like Houston Oil, American
Brown Boveri and Warner Pictures.
It was evident from the action of
the general list in the face Of the
declines in these stocks that tech
nical conditions were far stronger
now than they were at this time in
1926.
A vastly different situation also
hxisted in business fields. 1t is be-
gtoming increasingly evident that
after a slow start this year general
trade is picking up momentum in
gratifying fashion. Freight traffic
statistics tell a similar story. but in
the last few weeks merchandise and
general loadings have pulled up to
the levels of year ago and the re-
cent gains in the commercial and in
dustrial turnover, as measured by
bank clearings, automobile pro-
duction and steel output, indicate
that the volume of traffic is running
we'll ahead of 1926.
Undoubtedly the failure of the
stock market to duplicate this month
the bad break of March, 1926, has
been due in large measure to bet
ter technical position in the general
list. The inevitable reaction &C.
Cured, as was foreshadowed by the
sharp decline of stock values last
March. Having halted this year at
the proper time to correct it's posi-
ton and take stock of the future,
the business movement may continue
the present seasonal expansion we'll
into the spring months. This proba:
bility has been clearly discernible i'll
the recent Indifference displayed by
standard stocks to professional
operations designed to bring about
a REPETITION of last March's unhappy
episode.

NEW YORK, March 19.-After

stocks on the New York Stock Ex-
change reacted Friday, the leading
issues closing with losses running
up to points. A few fractional
gains were scored by inactive shares
and some of the investment stocks,
but in general the entire market
was depressed. There was nothing
definite in the news to account for
the decline, which had been eX-
peeted because of the impaired tech
nical position of the market due to
the rapid advance of late.
Money rates ruled easy all day
with call loans at per cent and in
plentiful supply. despite the fact
that banks called some $4,000, 900 to
meet balances at the Federal Re-
serve Bank. Bond prices were
stronger. with Treasury 4As reach
ing a new high record. Cotton and
wheat both recovered from early
losses and weekend business re-
views showed a broadening in
wholesale and retail trade. Hence,
there was nothing adverse which
might be reflected in the market.
Prices on sthe Curb also showed
reaction, industrials particularly
selling under pressure. Lira and
pesetas featured foreign exchange,
