BIZ Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind, July 20
This city which made it's debut on
Tuesday as an air mail point, has
an air-minded mayor-Chester r.
Montgomery.
Flying in the giant Stanolind
plane, Mayor Montgomery made a
test of a theory raised since the dis
appearance of Capt. Alfred Loewen-
stein, Belgian capitalist, from a
plane, supposedly by falling out a
door Of the cabin. Wind pressure,
according to some persons acquaint-
ed with aviation, would have pre-
vented opening a door wide enough
for man to fall.
Mayor Montgomery tried a door
on the plane and was able to get it
open only four inches. Nor was this
the end of the mayors experiments.
When the plane hit air pockets and
dropped like fast elevator, Mont
gomery remarked, while fellow pas
Sengers chung to seats:
Stand up, and you'll get more of

tain the proposed enlarged airport,
it was reported today. A meeting
scheduled Thursday was postponed.
Chamber of Commerce officials
are enthusiastic over possibility of
Indianapolis being a principal stop
on the Transcontinental Air Trans
port plane-train route.
Location of a stop. here is depen-
ent on establishment of an airport
suitable for use Of large transport
planes, officials of the new route

Open Air-RaiI Line

WASHINGTON, July 20-A COM
bination air and rail express which
is to serve practically every country
in Europe has been started by the
Deutsche Lufthansa, leading Euro
pean aviation company.
The new service, which has been
extended to all European members
of the International Air Traffic As
ISOLATION, is called the "Fleiverkehr, /"
or "air-rail traffic" combination
of "F. L." for airplane, "E. l." for
railroad and "Verkehr" for traffic.
The Fleiverkehr utilities all the
advantages of both air-freight serv-
ice and express-freight service by
connecting all towns and cities in
Germany in an international air
freight service.
BY this means it is possible to
employ air-freight service on all
long-distance lines and express
freight service On all railroad lines.

NE1V YORK, July 2O.-A man
with only one arm, ST. and no legs
has brought his Jenny airplane to
the shores of the Atlantic Ocean,
from where he hopes to take off
soon on a flight to Europe.
Morris r. Dougherty is the f1ier'S
name. He had a hard time getting
here from New Martinsville CIV.
Va), where the townsfolk have
agreed to back his flight. The flight
from West Virginia to Passaic, N.
j. airport required eleven days.
"Dinger," as the pilots friends call
him, was forced down several times
en- route.
Thursday while trying to make
field from Pennsylvania
Dougherty landed three times
once on Staten Island, again on
Long Island and finally in New
Jersey, where he gave up.
Dougherty, who lost both legs and
his right arm in an automobile ac-
cident, operates the controls of his
plane with his left arm and artif1-

Bert HasSeII Will Start
Dash in Big MonOpIane
Within Week.
RI Times Special

By Times Special
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, July 20.-A new
and in some respects an entirely
different air flight from the United
States to Europe will start in the
next few days from this city.
Bert r. j. Hassell, Rockford avi-
aUor, accompanied by Parker D.
Cramer as co-pilot, will set out in
the big Stinson-Detroit monoplane
Greater Rockford for Stockholm,
Sweden, flying by way Of Greenland.
Hassell's plane is now having its
final tuning up at the airport here,
while he awaits word from Green
land that preparations there to re-
ceive him are complete.
VIII Stop in Greenland
Hassell will stop at the Mount
Evans observatory, established in
Greenland by Professor w. H. Hobbs
of the University of Michigan, to
refuel before taking off again for
Stockholm.
The tital distance from Rockford
to Stockholm is 4,283 miles.
There are three interesting as
poets of Hassells flight.
First, so far as can be learned
here, this is the first major aero
nautical venture financed as a COM
munity project. The flight fund OF
about $4,000 was raised by popular
subscription under the direction of
a committee appointed by the Rock
ford Chamber of Commerce.
Many Give Money Aid
1t is estimated that at least 20
per cent Of the city's population of
100000 contributed to the project.
Second, its hackers say, the fight
is the first demonstration of practi-
cal "Reminiscences as applied to the
problem of flying between America
and Europe without reference to
existing lines of transportation, be-
ing based entirely upon the peculiar
needs and abilities Of an airplane.
Former transatlantic flights, they
say, we're based upon steamship
routes. u-l
Third, in addition to it's aeronauti-
cal value, the flight will endeavor to
make an important and valuable
contribution to science of another
classification by cooperation with
Professor Hobbs expedition in
meteorological observations.
Will Study Air Conditions
Installation of recording instru-
ments on the plane will allow the
expedition to obtain observations of
atmospheric conditions over the ice
cap of Greenland.
The selection of Stockholm as the
objective of the flight originally was
based on sentiment. Hassell is of
Swedish parentage and 40 per cent
of Rockford's population is of Scan
dinavian origin.
Then investigation revealed the
astonishingly practical features of
this route, the hackers say, and the
project was accepted and supported
by Rockford purely as practical
and progressive endeavor.

]
Most girls, according to tradition,
prefer a caveman or rather that is
the majority opinion. The trouble
with poor Doll Bilby was that she
mistook a mortal for q demon and
then there was the devil to pay.
When you meet Doll, who decided
that she was a witch, believe you
will agree with me that she is one of
the strangest characters in modern
fiction.
Esther Forbes first got into the
public eye by turning out a book by
the name of 20 Genteel Lady" and
it was a book that made one wait
gladly for another one by the same
author.
"a Mirror for witches" has the
background of old Salem in the
days that witches we're tried by court
and jury and sentenced to death.
1t seems to me that Miss Forbes
comes nearer to having the genuine
Hawthorne touch than any of the
modern writer's. Her style is clear,
even beautiful. Her character is
of her yarn is even wilder.
For a story that possess no real
ISM, I feel that you will even on
reading the first three pages fall un-
der the magnetic spell of the author
who dareS to do the unusual.
The fact is, never at any time
had any sympathy for the Doll and
how she kidded herself in believing
that it was a demon prince in her
bedroom instead of mortal man.
But the story is so fantastic and so
full of implied satire that its very
smartneSs will give you several
thrills.
The Doll worked herself up to
such a mental state that she even
saw the glory of a black bull in a
pasture. Even that isn't wild goings
on, then I do not know my fairy
stories.
y Miss Forbes has this to say at the
close of her strange yarn of the
even stranger Doll-"There are
court records, affidivits, ETC.; there
are diaries, letters and such; there
is the memory of old CATERS and
goodies to prove that once Doll Bilby
flourished. But of the physical, in
animate objects nothing that was
associated with her evil life and
awful end now exists. The house
she lived in mysteriously rotted and
fell into the cellar hole. The grave
they dug for her is now lost under g.

CITY BUYING ON
YEARLY SCALE
/ is ADVOCATED
Purchasing Agent Believes
j Great Saving Would
T Be Effected.

Purchase of city supplies in yearly
quantities was proposed to depart
ments heads today by City Pur-
chasing Agent Joel A. Baker.
Departments are working on their
1929 budget request and Baker Of
1ered to cooperate in studying needs
for the coming year.
I'VE can save the city large sums
Of money buying supplies in larger
quantities. There is no reason why
we can not buy pencils to last all
city departments for one year. The
contract can specify that goods be
delivered as needed, thereby getting
the benefit of the cheaper price for
a large quantity" Baker said.
1.-The same principle applies to al
most everything which the city pur-
chases. No large business concern
would order a dozen pencils for an
Office and there is no reason the
city's business should not be on the
basis of economy" Baker said.
Since he was appointed to the
post by Mayor L. Ert Slack last
November, Baker has attempted to
place city buying on a strictly COM
petitive basis.
Our biggest problem in this de-
partment has been to overcome the
impression that the city does not
buy goods on a business basis. Many
companies felt there was no use to
submit a bid because politicians
we're pulling wires for certain con-
Germ which would receive the award
regardless.
Many reliable firms seem to hold
the belief that the same business
ethics do not apply when the city is
buying - the public should be
'gypped' little"
Baker said that Mayor Slack had
maintained "handS off" policy in
the purchasing department, not at
tempting to swing certain deals to
friendly concerns.
